Lara POV
Could life get any better? He loves me. He said he loves me. He doesn't care about the demons or what they made me do. He loves me. I can't stop smiling. I probably look like an idiot. Every time I look over at him I feel like I am going to melt. I can't stop blushing. Every time I look at him he's smiling to though. He's so handsome I almost can't stand to be so far away from him. I want to just run over to the table and kiss him again. I just want him to hold me again. He loves me and I love him. That's not something I ever thought I would get to have. He said he would love me forever.
I hear Dean's phone start to ring and he gives me a smile and runs into our room to answer it. Once he leaves Gabby jumps on me and starts to squeal. "Are you and him finally like together?" She asks me like one of those silly teenagers on TV.
"Yes." I say softly and start to blush again. She gives me a tight hug and Sam looks up at winks at me. "You deserve to be happy Lara." He says repeating what I said to him yesterday. I can't stop blushing and I look down at my feet and start to smile.
I feel a giggle start in my chest but he enters the room. I feel him before I see him. I look over at the door way and he looks scared. I drop the wooden spoon I am holding and run over to him. "What's wrong?" I ask him.
Dean is pale and I've never seen him this panicked before. "We got to run. That was Cas on the phone all he said was run." He grabs my hand and the keys and starts to pull me out the door. I grab a gun off the table and see that Sam has grabbed Gabby and we are all running for the door. He pulls the door open and I run into his back, he's stopped moving. He quickly moves backwards and slams the door and locks it. "FUCK!" Is all he says. He turns around and starts to grab all the weapons he can that we have lying around the house. Sam is doing the same thing. They are moving in sync like two men on a mission. I look at Gabby and she nervously eyes me back. We follow suit and start to stock up on what we can find.
It's the stench that alerts me first. That god awful stench of rotting flesh. I feel myself start to gag but I know I have to keep myself together, but I can't stop. I start to retch in the kitchen sink and it isn't a second before Dean is beside me. He puts a protective arm over me. "There are demons Dean. I can smell them." Is all I can get out.
He stays with me until I am done. Then the pounding starts. They have surrounded the cabin and their bodies are pounding on the walls. I look over at Sam and he is holding Gabby and they seem afraid. I look up at Dean and he's visually checking all the windows and the doors. We may have salted them and put down demon traps but they are not going to be enough for what I can sense is out there.
"Dean?" I ask him meekly. He puts his arms around me and pulls me into the center of the room and we stand next to Gabby and Sam. I can see them at the windows they are everywhere and they are going to get in any second now. I grab him and kiss him passionately. "I love you Dean. I will love you forever." I wanted him to know I felt the same way.
We both know this is probably our good bye kiss. He's going to get off easy. Forever is just 5 minutes away. There is no way we are going to make it out of this. "I love you too Lara." Then they break in.
It's chaos at first. We're good fighters and we take down a dozen of them on the first wave. We may be going down but we're not going down without a fight. I wish I had my angel blade but that is in the van. Dean tries to protect me by putting me behind him but at this point they are coming in from everywhere.
I just keep shooting and when my first gun runs out of bullets I throw it to the ground and pick up my second and my third. I have my knives too and I'm able to stun them. But guns and knives don't kill them. They have to be exorcised. I keep trying to start an exorcism but every time I start to scream one another demon attacks me and I lose my focus. I can hear Gabby trying the same thing but then she stops screaming.
I look around and Gabby and Sam are face first on the ground and the demons over them have guns to their heads. They are clutching each other's hands and I feel guilty. They are in love and because of me they are going to die. Dean is next to them with three demons trying to wrestle him. They haven't gotten me yet but it's a matter of time.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the Winchesters brothers and their women." Says a man stepping over the demon bodies has he walks over to us. He has an accent and he looks oddly calm in this environment. "How do you do my dear? I don't think we have been properly introduced. I am Crowley, the king of hell, and I need to borrow your body." He extends his hand to me like we were just meeting for the first time at a restaurant or at some party.
I don't have many options so I do the only thing I can think of. I pull up my gun up and point it at my head. "Come any closer and I'll blow my fucking brains out and you won't have a body to wear." He needs me to be alive to possess me and I can kill myself instantly at this angle.
Crowley looks shocked. Dean looks angry. I give Crowley a defiant look and keep the gun at my head. He takes a step toward me and I cock the gun. "Don't be stupid. I would rather be dead than worn again, but I think we can come to an arrangement."
Deans keeps trying to get free from the demons holding him. "You want me, well there are things I want to. First of all you let Sam, Gabby, and Dean go and you make sure not one hair on their heads are ever hurt. Same goes for Bobby and Jody. Second if I let you in you have to treat my body with respect. No fucking sprees and no killing sprees." I am scared and I can hear my voice shaking but I keep my hand steady. Gabby and Sam deserve a life together. I have to save Dean. He can't die for me.
Crowley laughs. "I like you. You have spunk. Here is my counter. I let them all go and as long as they don't come after me I won't hurt them. If they do you can't blame me for protecting myself now can you? They are here now, do you guys understand that? If you don't come after us I will not touch you and I won't let any of my demons touch you BUT if you try to take her back I will kill you without thinking." He looks at Dean who is struggling to break free and Dean spits at him. Gabby and Sam shake their heads slightly in understanding. I really hope they are listening and don't try to come after me. Crowley laughs and looks back at me. "My dear your body is my temple and is about to give me more power than anyone thing else in this universe I will respect and cherish it. Do we have a deal?"
I can't look at Dean if I do I might lose my resolve. "If you lie to me and break this promise I will destroy you from the inside out Crowley. You let them go first. Once I know they are safely gone you can have me."
"Lara, what are you doing? Don't you dare!" I hear Dean yelling next to me. I keep my eyes on Crowley and keep the gun to my head and slowly walk over to Dean. I use my free hand to take off my bracelet on my trigger hand. I don't want Crowley to have it. Once I'm next to him I move my eyes to his and use my free hand to put the bracelet in his hand and then touch his face. I stand up on my toes and I kiss him. I try to put all the love I feel for him into that one last kiss. I can feel the tears coming down my face. "I love you Dean. Leave and don't look back." I look at Dean but yell at Crowley "You have a deal."
I feel Dean trying to fight the demons. "Crowley I am going to fucking kill you if you hurt her! I will make my previous time in hell look like a day at Disney World!" Just 30 minutes ago I thought live couldn't get any better. I was in love and he loved me back. Just as quickly as I got it now I have to give it up. I walk away from him staring into his green eyes. He is staring back at me and I can feel him pleading with me to not give in and try and fight. "I will love you forever" I mouth to him and I turn around to face Crowley.
The demons that have Sam and Gabby yank them up and pull them out of the room while the ones with Dean try to pull him out. He keeps clawing at them trying to get to me. I can't look at him it's breaking my heart. "Sam get him out of here! Don't let him do anything stupid!"I scream out through sobs. The demon keeps the gun to Sam's head but he helps pull Dean out.
"I'll find you Lara! I love you! I will love you forever! Don't forget that!" He yells as he's being dragged out of the cabin. I start to sob quietly I don't want him to remember me like this. "Don't do it Dean. He'll let you go if you stay away. I'll end it one way or another, just move on." Then he's gone. The room feels darker and colder. The love of my life just got torn away from me and there is nothing I can do about it. I'm alone, again.
I hear Dean trying to get back into the house but then the noise stops. I guess one of the demons knocked him out because a few minutes later I hear the van turn on and it start to leave. With them gone I can relax. I kept Dean alive. If nothing else he's alive. Once he's gotten over me he can move back with Lisa and Ben and have a normal life. The thought of it makes me smile. He can be happy. That's all that matters. Knowing he'll be alive out there makes it all worth it. I will find away to fight Crowley off even if it means killing myself. I can die happy knowing that even if it was just for a little bit I was loved and I loved. It's enough to die for.
I put the gun down and pull a knife out of my pocket. I put it to my possession tattoo and drag it across my flesh breaking the power of it. "Now for my end of the bargain." Crowley looks at me smiles. I see him leave his current body and I feel him enter mine. It's like a battle. He pushes me back and I try to fight but he takes full control over me. I keep trying to fight him back but I can't. I feel my body closing in around me. The darkness is surrounding me. Each crevice if my body is slowly overwhelmed by him and I being to lose control. I never thought I would feel this again. Before he can fully take over me I think of Dean and it goes black.
