That you'll wake one day…

It wasn't completely surprising that the two cars drove all the way up to the house. After all, they didn't really know what they were up against since they had mostly dealt with unsuspecting, frail humans. The fact that these people had used a banishing ritual and holy water in their first attack was worrying indeed, but now they were expecting this. Mary was first out of the car and immediately called out her challenge towards the house, where she thought they were waiting:

"Send out my sister or die. You have 10 seconds."

She sounded very serious. Dean would have laughed at the movie-like choice of words and stance if she hadn't infused them with lethal seriousness. Mary had come prepared to kill.

Silence was the only answer she got but Jennie bowed her head where she lay in hiding behind the house, asking the Lord not to let Mary hurt anyone. She was reasonably sure she wouldn't stand a chance alone, not with these guys, but, with demons backing her, they might capture one of the hunters and let her finish him off. That would possibly be the end of her soul. Demons! But if God and angels existed, which she believed with all her being, then she also had to admit there was a counter force. She shook herself slightly to check she wasn't dreaming. She wished she was.

The demons didn't, as opposed to Mary, use all their attention for the house, they were checking around outside and looking at all the junk cars that were piled on each other. Then they slowly, lazily, spread out in a fan to check behind the piles and listen. As one of the women closed in on the truck where Sam was hiding, Bobby suddenly appeared in one of the downstairs windows with a rifle in his hand.

"That's enough. We know who and what you are and you're not welcome here. Release Mary and you may leave unharmed."

The demons stopped and focused on Bobby. None of them looked worried and they watched the rifle with amusement. Denver went up to Mary and put his arms around her, supportive-like, while flashing malicious black eyes at Bobby.

"Your pathetic attempt at dividing us is for naught. I am here for my sister, and you can't stop us" Mary said, raising her chin defiantly.

"Was I talking to you, girl?" Bobby asked rudely. "This is your last warning, hell-spawn. Will you leave on your own or shall we throw you out the door?"

"I don't know what you're talking of" Charlotte said, her voice high and a bit shaky. "You ambushed us when we were having a drive and kidnapped our friend. We demand that you release her immediately!"

She was standing just beneath Sam's hiding place and he worked hard not to groan. That demon was one devious actress. She sounded seriously shaken and it was only because Sam was listening for it that he heard the contained amusement in her voice. He didn't dare to look up just yet and he wondered where the others were. There should be three demons and Mary and they had to be careful not to get her in the crossfire.

Bobby was thinking the same thing as Sam because while the demon had his arms wrapped around Mary he couldn't very well blast him with the shotgun. Well, they had better get the battle underway.

"You had your chance" he called, "prepare to go down", and with that he turned the rifle on the one closest to Dean and fired. And missed, because Hannah moved faster. Sam jumped up at the same time and both female demons went for him while Denver quickly dragged Mary behind a beat up van. Bobby didn't waste his breath cursing and jumped out the window while reloading.
