"Aw what no hug?" Tom asked sarcastically.
Brooklyn pulled away from Dean and approached the demon. Hatred and distrust were shining brightly in her eyes as Dean knew if looks could kill Tom would've been dead before he hit the ground.
"Lemme guess, Sam summoned your sorry ass."
Tom shook his head.
"Nope not today gorgeous," Brooklyn rolled her eyes while crossing her arms firmly across her chest.
"Cut the crap Tom why are you really here?" Dean was by his wife's side.
"Oh just to say there's been talk again."
"Is that all you came here to tell us?"
Tom shot a look at Dean letting his eyes go coal black before shifting his gaze back to Brooklyn and black vanished.
"Lilith has gone into hiding for the time being but some of her entourage has been spotted not too far from here."
"Lemme guess, her maid," Dean said with a snarky tone.
"No, short bus, I'm talking about her first in command. Why can't you shut your mouth for more than two seconds and actually listen, Winchester?"
Dean merely shot the demon a dirty look as Tom smirked at the hunter.
"So are you going to tell us or keep beating around the bush, Tom?"
"Well since you asked so nicely Brooklyn, I'll tell you. Her top ranking general is in Iron Mountain, Michigan; seems he wanted to take a little R &R."
Before either hunter could say another word, Tom was gone. Dean scanned their surroundings finding no trace of the demon. Taking Brooklyn's hand in his, they headed back inside the room to find Sam typing away on his keyboard. Tom was right about one thing: Sam didn't summon him. No unusual smells or smoke was lingering in the room or any herbs or other talismans were sighted in the room.
"Hey Sam pack up, we're moving out."
"What did you guys hear something?"
"Yeah your BFF Tom dropped by and said Lilith's top man was in Michigan so pack up."
Sam had a confused expression on his face as he looked at his brother then sister in law. Not wanting to make things any more awkward, he quickly gathered his things and soon they were headed out the door.
Brooklyn was sound asleep with her head resting on Dean's lap when another vision slammed her mind.
The howling grew louder as Brooklyn raced through the woods. The branches and leaves smacked her face as she leapt over fallen trees and logs and splashing through creeks and streams. Her heart raced and threatened to burst through her chest with every step taken. Brooklyn's legs screamed and ached in protest as she pushed her body harder. She could hear the growling as if it were right next to her but she knew it was the hellhound getting closer.
She didn't see the steep ravine until it was too late. Brooklyn cried out and tumbled hard down the side rolling over logs stones and mud until she landed hard on her side. The pain flared though her body but still she forced herself to her feet but nearly tripped over her own ankle. The throbbing foot refused to move and Brooklyn found herself having to drag her body until she could reach the next tree to stand up.
By then it was too late. The first claw marks shredded her jeans and flesh causing Brooklyn to scream. The hellhound continued ripping apart cotton denim then finally flesh muscle and organs. Brooklyn heard Dean's screams in the distance as he and Sam raced to find her. Her screams died in the gurgling of blood that had welled in her throat as soon she took her last breath on Earth.
Brooklyn sat up soaked in sweat and shaking violently all over. She frantically ran her hands over her body only to find her clothes and most importantly her body was still in one piece. Relief washed over her like the rushing tide as she sat back in the seat and took a deep breath.
"Baby you alright?" Brooklyn looked over seeing Dean's eyes were wide with shock and concern.
"Yeah just had a bad dream, that's all," she smiled weakly.
Sam knew it wasn't just any bad dream. Brooklyn had another vision.
Eight hours later they were in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The snow had started coming down hard causing Dean to tread carefully on the roads. The heater was keeping them warm enough but it could've been better. Thankfully the hotel was coming into view as the bright neon sign blared like a beacon in the storm.
Dean eased the car into the lot and killed the engine. He left Sam and Brooklyn in the car to fetch a couple of rooms. Sam placed a hand on Brooklyn's shoulder.
"Brook I know that wasn't any dream you had. You had a vision didn't you?"
Her shoulders slumped before she slowly turned around to face Sam. Sadly she nodded her head and lowered her eyes away from his sympathetic ones.
"Yeah I did Sam and it scared the Hell out of me. I saw my own death…"
Sam leaned forward, wrapping his arms around her trembling shoulders.
"It's alright Brooklyn it was just a bad dream. Remember when I used to get those visions?"
"Yeah," she sniffed.
"You and Dean helped me break free from that demon blood and along with it the visions and migraines. And we are going to help you break out of this contract."
Brooklyn only wiped away her tears and leaned back against Sam's embrace as Dean hopped in.
"Everything alright?" he noticed the red rimmed eyes of Brooklyn and Sam comforting her.
"Yeah," Brooklyn breathed out and slid from Sam's arms and into Dean's.
Dean dropped the bags and shut the door before making salt lines at the window and door. Brooklyn had flopped down on the bed and slowly started unlacing her boots. The dream was still fresh in her mind and had rattled her very core. The small pangs of stabbing pain were beginning to creep up along her temples and forehead and Brooklyn fought to keep them at bay.
Her hunter came out from the bathroom to see her wincing and bent over on the edge of the bed. Dean immediately sprang into action grabbing the bag containing the syringes and painkillers.
"Not again," he muttered with the syringe cap between his teeth. Carefully Dean pulled up a few ccs then gently pushed Brooklyn back on the bed. She was in too much pain to register what was happening around her as Dean wrapped the tourniquet and flicked the vein making the thin blue thread appear beneath her skin.
"It'll all go away soon I promise," he said in a soothing voice as the needle pierced the thin skin and delivered clear relief to her pain racked body.
Dean quickly put the supplies away and stripped her body before he went to draw a hot bath.
Brooklyn opened her eyes and felt the hot water surrounding her body along with the body of another.
"Mmm….Dean?" She tilted her head to the side feeling his arms wrap tightly around her. Dean kissed her temple before answering.
"It's me," he whispered. Dean lifted a hand from the hot water and brushed the hair back behind her ears. Brooklyn moaned in contentment and nestled up even closer against him.
"My head…."
"Shhhh, it's gone now."
Brooklyn nodded and just closed her eyes letting the heat of the water and her husband's body relax her own.
The snow had ceased by the next morning and the roads were somewhat drivable. Brooklyn slid the button up shirt up and over her shoulders as she watched Dean get dressed and layered up for the hunt.
"How you feeling?"
Brooklyn nodded her head and smiled at him, "Better thanks to you."
Dean finished dressing and went through all the weapons they would need for the hunt ahead. On the table a map was laid out and a pendulum rested on top. Brooklyn knew what they were for as Dean had already explained it to her.
Out of nowhere someone rapped on the door. Brooklyn grabbed the Colt and Dean peered through the viewing hole and groaned. He unlocked and jerked the door open.
"You gonna let me in?" Tom asked then looked down at the salt line.
Brooklyn hid the Colt behind her back and peered from around Dean's body.
"So what now you're stalking us?"
"No, I know where Samael is hiding out so it saves you the effort of doing it the old school way," he nodded at the map and crystal.
"Well then just tell us," Brooklyn snapped finding her patience with the demon wearing thin.
"Brooklyn you of all people should appreciate what it means to have a helping hand. After all you have only what 5, 6 months left? I am merely offering you assistance, nothing more and nothing less."
Dean looked down at Brooklyn then at the demon as Sam appeared by the demon's side.
"Dean, wait," He held up a hand, "Samael is not far from here. He's hanging out in the local sheriff."
"Oh and how do you know that Miss Cleo?" Dean spat back.
"Tom," he said quietly.
"That's just freaking great! You're taking the word of a demon! God if you could hear yourself!"
"Well fine short bus scoff at me all you want but what I'm telling you is the truth!"
Sam stood between his brother and the demon hoping to diffuse the situation.
"Dean, you can stay here but if Samael is here, he may know where Lilith is hiding out."
Brooklyn found herself arguing against herself. She wanted to go with Sam but her better judgment was screaming at her for even entertaining the idea of believing a demon! Then out of the blue it hit her like a freight train colliding with solid rock wall.
Brooklyn grabbed the sides of her head as she saw what Samael was seeing.
The inmates screamed out loud as he tormented each one. Blood spilled freely along the floor and the walls as Samael enjoyed the sick pleasure of watching the humans cry out in pain and beg God for mercy. The blade was long sharp and deadly in the demon's hand as he ran it along his victim's skin.
"There is no god in this town," Samael hissed in the voice of the sheriff as he slashed another layer of flesh off the bound man.
He laughed cruelly as the man screamed and took in his last dying breath.
"The sick bastard is here. He's in the jail tormenting inmates," she hissed through clenched teeth.
"Brook!" Dean picked her up and carried her to the bed. He watched as the pain vanished as rapidly as it had appeared from her face and body.
"Dean…." She muttered.
"Baby are you alright?"
Brooklyn opened her eyes and sat up and nodded her head.
"Yeah," she took his hand and kissed it.
"You were in so much pain."
"It's gone now."
Dean was still skeptical but could see if there was any pain in her body she was masking it very well.
"Dean, I'll be fine. Come on, let's go pay Samael a little visit," she grabbed the Colt checking it over before slipping it in the waistband of her jeans.
The jail was dark as the Impala pulled up. Brooklyn could smell brimstone and sulfur as they stepped out.
"He's here Dean."
The certainty in her voice led Dean to believe her as they rounded the building to the back seeing the windows were awash in blood and bits of flesh.
"Yep our boy's in there," Dean whispered. The snow had started to fall again as the hunters made it back towards the front. They froze as another man was being brought in the back.
"No, please," he begged as the deputy dragged him up the stairs. Brooklyn shuddered as she saw the face of the demon possessing the deputy.
"Samael's brought his entourage," Brooklyn noted.
"Lovely," Sam muttered.
Brooklyn spotted a side door and motioned for them to follow. She gripped the knob and slowly turned it surprised to find it unlocked. With salt holy water and the Colt in hand, the hunters proceeded inside. The overpowering stench of flesh and blood was becoming more than the hunters could tolerate. The lights overhead were dim at best but revealed the horror around them.
Walls were splattered with slivers of skin and flesh. Blood splattered the walls and bars and coated the floor. Several bodies were pinned to the walls with their intestines and other organs hanging out from jagged wounds.
Brooklyn kept her eyes focused on the corridor and on the screams and wails coming from the door at the end. Her body tensed as the demonic presences grew stronger and closer. She felt like a human divining rod only she was reacting to the presence of demons and not water.
Dean and Sam kept right behind her as she froze at the door. The Colt was clicked ready to fire as she pushed on the bar and forced the door open.
