Demon Eyes in the Closet

(Song: Worms of the Earth- Finch)

Shelly Warren's Bedroom

Atmore, Alabama

Shelly sat tucked in her little bed in her small room. Her mother sat next to her on the bed and smiled "Now go to sleep you have school in the morning," her mother said before she gave her young 9 year old daughter a kiss on the cheek.

"But mom there is something in the closet!" the little girl argued as she peeked over at the closet with fear and dread written on her face.

"Oh hush now, there is nothing in there, your sister is just telling you scary stories," her mother said getting slightly annoyed.

"But Mama I am telling you," the girl was cut off by her mother.

"Now we are done, no more of this foolishness now go to sleep," said her mother as she stood up and stopped at the door and turned off the light then shut the door behind her.

She was dreaming an odd dream a dream of her quickly waking up to see these pair of yellow demonic eyes. Then in the quiet of the night the demonic creature sang something eerie and frightening . . .

Baby, baby, naughty baby,
Hush! you squalling thing, I say;
Peace this instant! Peace! or maybe
Bonaparte will pass this way.
Baby, baby, he's a giant,
Black and tall as Rouen's steeple,
Sups and dines and lives reliant
Every day on naughty people.
Baby, baby, if he hears you
As he gallops past the house,
Limb from limb at once he'll tear you
Just as pussy tears a mouse.
And he'll beat you, beat you, beat you,
And he'll beat you all to pap:
And he'll eat you, eat you, eat you,
Gobble you, gobble you, snap! snap! snap!

But the girl wasn't dreaming as she soon found out. She was wide awake . . .

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sam watched as the young girl with long brown hair and haunted eyes, those eyes were so disturbing.

He watched as the young girl walk up to him, she looked up at him and smirked and spoke "Come back and unlock my secrets." The young girl frowned and suddenly he saw a flash and the young girl screaming in the woods. There was a small circular clearing and he watched as the young girl was picked up by a tall beefy man and strangled.

There was another flash, this time he saw a group of people surrounding an open grave. More disturbing he saw Katharine and Billy there as well.

Sam yelled and woke up, he saw he was in the motel room. He looked over and saw that Katharine was standing over him and watching him "What's wrong?" she asked him. He sat up and she stood back and watched him slowly.

"Where are Dean and Billy?" he asked wiping the sweat from his brow.

Katharine turned away and went over to the small kitchen and began cleaning up.

"They went out to get some food we are leaving in awhile" she answered.

Sam had a mind to ask if she ever heard of what he saw in his dream but suddenly thought better of it and just nodded.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

It had taken them awhile but finally the gang found a stop spot where it had leather cleaner so they could clean up the soda mess. At the park they didn't have any for miles.

Dean was scrubbing out his car, cursing Kat like no one had before. The girl didn't think about her consequences, Dena had noticed that, she never thought about what she was going to say before she said it.

"Hey, grandmas are you sure you don't know?" Katharine was leaning against the phone booth as the guys cleaned out the car.

"Sorry honey I haven't talked to your momma in ages. Try your cousin Jean," her grandmother answered over the phone.

Katharine gritted her teeth in annoyance but finally answered back "Ok thanks grandma I love you. I have to go bye," Katharine said

"Ok sweetheart bye," her grandmother said before she hung up the phone.

Katharine sighed and hung up the phone as well. She ran a hand through her head and decided to call Jean later. She pushed herself from the phone booth and began to walk toward the boys.

Dean looked up at Katharine who had neared the car "Any luck?" he asked. Katharine shook her head no. Sam looked at Dean and then he looked at Billy who was putting away the hose.

"Hey Billy, lets go get some snacks ok?" Dean said. Billy nodded and Dean put his hand on his back and led him away.

Sam walked over to the car and leaned on it and Katharine followed. "Well what's the works of it?" Sam asked her.

Katharine tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and sighed "well my grandmother doesn't know anything so I am going to get into contact with my 2nd cousin Jean. Maybe she will know" Katharine answered him.

Sam nodded and looked at her with sympathy "Lets hope so," Sam said

Katharine stopped for a minute and nodded even though in her heart she never wanted to go back to her mother. That was something she had to do though.

"We need to go," Sam said as he helped Billy put the bags in the car and both he and Billy sat in the back.

Katharine grabbed a soda as did Dean before they got settled in their seats in the front. "So what now?" asked Katharine as Dean turned on the 67 Chevy Impala and Metallica was turned on.

Dan put the car in drive and began to pull out of the gas station's drive way. "There have been 5 missing children reports in Atmore, Alabama this week." Dean explained as he got onto a busy highway.

"But what does it have to do with us? It might just be some psychotic freak" Katharine replied confused.

"It could be something more there is no sign of breaking in and there is an eyewitness," Dean trailed off for a minute.

"Well what do they say?" Katharine urged him with a raised eyebrow.

"She says it was the boogeyman" said a very pale and disturbed out Sam. Memories of the thing that scared him so much in his closet made him shudder.

"Oh shit" Katharine said and looked over at a very scared Billy.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Billy had always been haunted by the thing in its closet. Since he was at the young age of 4 he remembered quietly tiptoeing towards Katharine's room- while his mom was still there even then he didn't like her- and climbed into her bed crying in fear from the 'boogeyman' and she would sit there and whisper to him softly.

The 'boogeyman' left when he was 8 and Billy thought he was just being stupid. He didn't believe that the boogeyman existed but now . . . things had changed and now he was starting to wonder.

Sam too was haunted by the paralyzing fear of the 'boogeyman' when he had told his dad though that he was scared of the thing in his closet. His dad gave him a 4.8 and left him there to fend for himself.

The 'boogeyman' never showed up though and Sam thought he was just using his over active imagination. Apparently now he was wrong.

They were both wrong.

To Dean it took forever to get to the little town of Atmore, Alabama.

Atmore, Alabama was the neighbor and football rival of Bay Minette the bustling town next door that had a Wal-mart unlike Atmore itself. It was pretty dead down town was shut down except for a old movie theatre that showed only one movie for a couple of weeks a few businesses and the local schools and churches.

Dean parked outside of a small hotel and parked the car and got out. He looked around with a frown. What was up with the supernatural and small towns?

"Whats the matter?" asked Billy who noticed Dean frown. Dean blinked and looked down at Billy and grinned.

"Nothing just thinking that's all" he said before ruffling Billy's hair and walking over to Sam who was unloading bags and gathering them along with Kat.

"When we get the room we need to get into contact with that witness," Sam said as he handed Dean a bag.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The plan was set; they all knew what they had to do.

The witness was 9 year old Marilyn her sister 5 year old Jezebel was a victim of the boogeyman. Marilyn went to the park across the street to swing and play. The plan was for Billy to get the story from her.

It was a bleak day. The clouds covered the suns bright rays. The park had colorful parts of the play set and a set of swings.

Katharine sat down on a park bench with Dean and Sam and watched as Billy looked for Marilyn. It had taken him awhile but form the picture provided, Billy found her. Marilyn was swinging on the swings. Her long black hair in her face as the pale girl looked down s she kicked her little legs and continued to swing. Billy smiled to himself and thought she was pretty for a moment before smacking himself in the head mentally before walking up to her and getting on the wing next to her and began to swing.

Like Kat, Billy was a bit of a loner both of them had social skills that sucked more than drinking bad milk and that really sucked.

"Hi," Billy began. The girl simply nodded and continued to swing.

"I heard that you saw the boogeyman is that true?" Billy asked.

The girl immediately stopped swinging and dug her heels into the ground. She didn't move for a moment before she looked up and looked at Billy straight in the eye. She had gorgeous green eyes.

"Yah but no one believes me," the girl said finally.

"Well tell me what happened I believe you," Billy urged the girl. She nodded and began her tale.

"Me and my sister Jezebel shared a room and Jezebel for awhile told me that she would here someone signing from our closet. I didn't believe her. Then a week ago, I woke up to someone singing a very creepy song and the next thing I know my sister was snatched away screaming. The boogeyman is real and it took my sister," Marilyn said, Billy believed her immediately. She was right.

"Don't worry I really believe you I will help you get your sister back," Billy promised the young girl and Billy meant everything he said.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The gang was in the local library. After Billy told them of Marilyn's account of what happened to her sister. The gang thought it would be a good idea if they went to the library for answers.

Dean was searching for old records about Marilyn's house. Kat was looking at old records of other kidnappings in the past and Sam was looking for supernatural creatures that would match this 'boogeyman'.

"Any one got anything?" Billy asked anxiously. Katharine noticed something about Billy How he was really into this case. It was strange but Kat didn't mind.

"There have been kidnappings, every 50 years 7 children go missing," Kat answered Billy.

"Yah there have been children missing from Marilyn's house as well but who is doing all of this?" Dean asked confused.

"Well the thing that matches it the most is the Bogie a supernatural creature that hides in cupboards and closets. They are known to be wicked and devious creatures. They are distant cousin of the faerie from the early Celtic folklore, the Bogie is a troublesome shape changer who can hurl objects and cause disturbances raging from mischievous to malevolent. Generally found in rural areas, they often haunt single family. Now I think that solves that," Sam said after slamming the book he read the passage from and looked at the rest.

"Sounds like it" Dean said.

"I think we need Marilyn, I think I have a plan" Sam said smiling.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"So what you want us to do. Is stand right in front of the closet, lure the boogeyman out so that way you can destroy it?" Billy asked Sam.

"Basically yah," Dean replied with a smirk.

Billy rolled his eyes and groaned. Billy had returned to Marilyn's house and asked to see her. Now they were standing at the park and discussing the plan.

"Don't worry he might not be the brightest guy around but he will protect you," Katharine said smiling at Marilyn who giggled and watched as Dean looked over at Katharine and smirked shaking his head at her.

"Don't worry we will be with you the entire time, no one is going to hurt you both" Sam assured them both but then turned to Marilyn "We need to get inside your bed room, he lives there and has been moving from closet to closet, we need to get to your closet," Sam insisted.

Marilyn nodded "I can get you in".

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"My parents are at the police station, and my other sister is out on a date. We have to hurry before they get back." Marilyn said as she led the group inside her house.

"Wait how do we destroy this thing?" Kat asked all of the sudden in raw realization.

"We have to go inside its lair and banish it. Problem are we had to get inside and having a rampaging Bogie does not help our situation either," Dean replied a bit darkly.

Kat nodded and followed Marilyn up to her and her late sister's room.

"We have to lure it out and by doing that, you guys have to stand in front of the closet door." Dean said as they all looked at the cursed door.

"Alright let's get ready, everyone is position," Sam said as he got the supplies they needed to cleanse the house.

Earlier Kat had picked up a few hoodoo books and got the supplies to cleanse the house or cleanse the boogeyman's lair.

Kat, Dean, and Sam got into the positions near the bed behind Marilyn and Billy who stood in front of the open closet door. The lights were shut off and they silently waited.

Soon in the depths of the closet, they saw a pair of demonic eyes and then a eerie voice began to sing:

Baby, baby, naughty baby,
Hush! you squalling thing, I say;
Peace this instant! Peace! or maybe
Bonaparte will pass this way.
Baby, baby, he's a giant,
Black and tall as Rouen's steeple,
Sups and dines and lives reliant
Every day on naughty people.
Baby, baby, if he hears you
As he gallops past the house,
Limb from limb at once he'll tear you
Just as pussy tears a mouse.
And he'll beat you, beat you, beat you,
And he'll beat you all to pap:
And he'll eat you, eat you, eat you,
Gobble you, gobble you, snap! snap! snap!

The song indeed and with a growl a large claw lurched out and grabbed Billy and Marilyn by the stomach and began bringing them towards them.

"No," Dena yelled this was not part of the plan; Dean then jumped out and grabbed Billy by the ankle.

The Bogie growled and hissed at Dean and the others. Sam then grabbed Dean's ankle and was lifted into the air. Kat then getting onto their plan waited till Sam's leg was in reach and jumped up and grabbed his ankle and too was lifted up to the air.

Good thing too because just then the boogeyman dragged them in the closet and slammed the door shut revealing only darkness . . . .

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The group was thrown to the ground. It was hard and dirty, it was dirt. Where the hell am I? Dean asked himself as he coughed and opened his eyes.

"Where the hell are we?" asked a very frustrated Kat.

"His lair it's like some cave or something," Sam observed. Sam stood up and brushed himself off and looked around.

Marilyn opened her green eyes and moaned and looked over and saw Billy looking at her .

"You ok?" he asked her.

Marilyn blushed and nodded "Yes," she said softly before getting up and joining the rest, Billy trailing behind her.

Dean stood up beside his brother and took out his small Black Hand gun and held it up. "Anyone have the flashlight? Kat, I believe you have it?" he asked her.

Kat nodded and took it out of her pants pocket and held it up for him to see.

"Good, look he is gone for now, I think we need to start cleansing this place before our good friend comes back," Sam loaded his gun .

"Kat you cleanse this place along with Marilyn and Billy, Sam and I are going to check this place out." Kat nodded and got to work.

With Marilyn and Billy trailing behind her she began the process; the process was simple enough by using a hoodoo dust called Goofer Dust. Goofer dust is used to wound, create bad luck, or kill your enemies and so far that was all they had.

They were all praying for it to kill.

Getting out a small jar full of the concoction from her pocket, Kat opened it and began to sprinkle it all around.

Dean held up his gun as Sam held the flashlight to make light, they decided to look for the other children who the boogeyman who had taken them, hoping to them that they were alive.

"Hey Sam, why does he take children anyway it doesn't make sense," Dean asked as he aimed his gun all around with a sharp eye.

"The Bogie I believe is lonely, I think he takes children to either kill for fun or become it's play mate twisted if you ask me." Sam said as they continued down the long and dreaded hall.

"Yah no kidding," Dean said right before he heard someone crying.

"What in the world?" Sam whispered.

Dean shrugged and aimed his gun into the dark abyss, Sam shined his flashlight towards the sound and thy both discovered something of dark imagination.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Spreading the Goofer dust around the cave it had taken awhile and Kat silently wondered where the Bogie had gotten too. What was he plotting now?

"Kat we found something," Kat heard Dean from behind her.

When she turned around and asked, behind Sam and Dean were children, dirty and scratched they coughed and hacked and looked at her with frightened eyes.

"You have been taken too huh?" a little boy no more than 6 asked her.

Kat nodded with sadness and walked over and stood next to Dean. The little boy nodded and coughed.

"We have to get them out of here" Kat whispered to Dean. Dean looked at her and nodded.

"Have you cleansed the place?" he asked her. She nodded and suddenly the cave began to shake.

"What in the world was that?" Billy asked.

"The boogeyman is back," a terrified little girl.

Sam acting fast turned towards Billy and handed him a gun. "You take everyone in a hiding place use that gun only if you have no other choice now go" Billy nodded and hurried ran towards the darkness, Marilyn and the other children following.

Kat tucked a hair behind her ear and gulped. Dean watched her out of the corner of his eye and took her hand in his. Kat looked at him and he gave her a small smile. She smiled back and gripped his hand, and silently cursed herself for it being so dirty and sweaty. Sam who was standing next to Kat took her hand as well.

"The cleansing will take a few minutes all of you have to stand your ground ok?" Sam asked.

Dean nodded coolly but Kat nodded as well but more because she couldn't speak.

Dean saw the shadow of the Bogie and saw it returning with no children.

The Bogie looked over at them and crossed the cleansing line. He growled and hissed and slowly cam towards them. Now Dean was getting nervous.

"Are you positive you did it right?" he asked her.

"Uhh . . . I don't know?" she asked nervously.

Yet another thing wrong with her, she didn't check behind herself.

"You should have checked!" Dean hissed at her.

"Well I am sorry. Should I have checked when the boogeyman was coming after me? Should I have just turned to him and said 'Excuse me Mr. Boogeyman but you see I make this line to where-" Dean gripped her hand and moved her out of the bogeyman's way as he tried to lash out at her, Dean guessed trying to shut her up.

"Damn it you talk too much," Dean replied coolly.

"Uh yah Kat are you positive because he sure looking alive and well to me," Sam said as he ducked the boogieman's claw.

The boogeyman growled and looked over at Dean and raised his claw like hand to attack when . . . White lines started going through, the boogeyman looked down and with a scream the boogeyman exploded, brown muck going everywhere.

"Yah that is gross," Kat said with a frown as she wiped boogeyman off her face.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Bye Billy" Marilyn said softly. It was three days after the incident and they escaped before the police could get there I mean come on no one was going to believe them.

"Bye," Billy said and was about to turn away and to get into the car when Marilyn grabbed him and gave him a kiss.

"Bye," she said softly before running off and waving bye.

Billy grinned and got into the back seat when he saw a grinning Dean and Sam and a disgruntled Kat.

"Oh yah Billy getting it on with the girlies" Dean said grinning and Sam punched Billy softly in the arm.

Sam looked over at the very disgruntled Kat.

"Oh come on he has got to grow up some time," Sam said and then Dean ruffled her hair.

"That's your problem Kat your 23 going on 80," Dean said with a cat like smirk.

"Shut up Dean and drive!" Kat replied.

Pages: 13

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter; I actually had a lot of fun writing this. As you can tell I am starting to take the spotlight off of Katharine and put it more towards Billy, Sam, and Dean. Am I making an improvement? Also I want to make clear Kat is not perfect if you will see through the chapter I pointed out a lot of her rough spots.
