Ch.4

"Hello Eli."Missouri said with a smile, opening the front door to find that, as she'd expected, the priest she'd told Sam of stood there.

"Missouri."he said with a curt nod of his head.

"I'm glad you could find time to come so quickly."she said, stepping aside and motioning for the man to enter.

"As I told you on the phone, I merely agreed to come an assess the situation, only afterwards will I decide whether to take any action."he said as he walked into the house, removing his hat upon entering the door.

Hearing the sound of something falling to the ground, Missouri paused in closing the door behind him, looked out towards the driveway and saw a woman bent over, picking up the contents of a medical bag that she'd apparently dropped. Scooping up the final item, she stood up straight, pushed a stray piece of brown hair that had fallen out of the tight bun she'd had it pulled into, and continued making her way towards the porch.

"Hi."she said, giving Missouri a warm smile.

"Well hello there. I wasn't aware Eli would be bringing anyone with him."Missouri said guardedly.

"I wasn't planning too, but Miss Daugherty happened to be eavesdropping on our conversation and insisted on accompanying me." Eli spoke up from behind Missouri," She is one of the doctors who are assigned to, what I think of as, spying on the priests while they're on the official outings such as this. They're required to come along to make sure we use the utmost care and sensitivity in our work. I tried to explain the situation and get through to her that in this case her help was unneeded, but we all know how you women are."he said, looking heavenwards as he said the last part, a unhidden look of annoyance on his face.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Daugherty." Missouri said, rolling her eyes at the priest as she gave the woman a sympathetic smile."I'm sure working with Eli has been quite an experience for you."

"First of all Father,"she said with a glare at the priest,"I was not eavesdropping. I just happened to be in the library where you took the call. It's not my fault you didn't see me behind the pile of research books I was in the midst of studying now is it? And believe it or not Missouri, I actually rather enjoy working with Father Mullins. He doesn't try to pretend that he actually wants me with him, which compared to some of the others, is a welcome breath of fresh air. His honesty is one of his most endearing traits."the woman said in reply, then after putting her bag down, added," That is why I insisted on coming with him. I wanted to be here if he needed me. And its Katherine, Missouri, but please call me Kat. That Mrs. stuff makes me feel old."

"I can do that." Missouri replied, taking an instant liking to the woman.

"I do not even need to tell you how unorthodox it is for me to be here do I?" asked Father Mullins haughtily. . A tall stocky man in his late 50's with dark hair that was graying around the temples, he posed an imposing figure to most with his sour expression, but not to Missouri. "Or in how much trouble I could get with the diesis for this unapproved visit?"

"Now you know I wouldn't have called you unless it was a dire emergency Eli." Missouri said, narrowing her eyes at him as she spoke." So you can drop that tone with me right now."

The younger woman put a hand over her mouth in an unsuccessful attempt to mask the loud snicker that was released when she saw the expression of outrage that crossed the priests face.

"I'm glad you find something that, if it were found out by the right people, could be the end of my years as a priest so amusing Katherine." he said with a scowl, whipping his head around to glance disapprovingly at her.

"I'm...umm..I'm sorry father. I'm just not used to hearing someone other than myself put you in your place."she replied, winking at Missouri as she said this, and added sincerely to him,"And if you're worried about me telling anyone about this little side job, than you needn't. I could get in just as much trouble as you, you know. If it makes you feel better though, I give you my word, one professional to another, that what happens here, stays here. As I said earlier, the reason I insisted on coming was I just want to help, that and I am quite fascinated by the whole medical side to this field of the paranormal."

"Where is the boy?" Eli asked, turning his head towards Missouri, who had been watching this exchange with an amused expression.

"He's in the guest bedroom."she replied.

"Then what are you waiting for, or were you not intending on introducing us to him ?" he asked, taking off his long coat and draping it over the arm of the couch.

"Of course I am."she replied with a withering glare. "Just make yourselves at home, and I'll be right back."

"So, how old is the little fellow?"Kat asked after taking her own coat off, settling down beside Eli on the couch. When Father Mullins had referred to Dean as the boy, she'd assumed that he would be well...a boy.

Exorcisms were so rare nowadays that she had always jumped at the chance to accompany him or any other priest on the very few exorcisms that had been sanctioned prior to this. Of the 3 she'd seen, 2 had been young children, and the other an elderly man. Even after seeing the ritual performed , she still had her doubts that they had actually been "possessed". It was quite feasible that they had suffered from some type of mental illness. From what she's witnessed they'd exhibited nothing other than the ability to speak in languages that others claimed they hadn't known prior to the onset of their possession. She doubted this case would prove to be much different.

"That depends on which little fellow you're talking about."."a deep masculine voice answered her question, breaking into her thoughts. She looked up in surprise and saw a attractive brown haired, yet very pale and sickly looking young man staring at her with amused green eyes surrounded by dark circles. He was leaning heavily on a younger man with darker brown hair, whom he had his arm draped around for support..

Missouri hadn't had to go tell him and Sam to come into the den, they had already been doing so, and had met her in the hall.

"The little fellow we're here to see of course."she said curtly, not immediately realizing Dean was that very person.

"Then you're looking at him."he said with a slight grin.

"Oh."she said after a slight pause."You're not a little fellow."

"Nope, terribly sorry to disappoint you."

"No, I'm not disappointed."she said quickly, feeling like a total dimwit at the moment."It's just you're much older than I thought you would be. I was expecting a child."

"Well, I'm definitely not a child."he said with a helpless shrug. The younger man then spoke for the first time, saying with a snicker," Don't let him fool you. He may not be a child in body, but in mind...well, that's a different story."

"Ha ha Sam, very funny." the older of the two said, his words followed by a pained grunt as his legs threatened to give out beneath him. "Think I need to sit down now."he muttered, and Sam's amused look turned to one of concern as he helped his big brother to a chair across the room from the priest and woman.

They watched as Dean slowly sat down, not missing the look of pain that was etched just beneath the surface of the smile that was on his face.

"You alright?"Sam asked after he'd helped him settle into the chair.

"Yeah, yeah. Shoo fly."he replied, waving his hand at him.

"Shoo fly? That's got to be one of the gayest things I've ever heard you say, and believe me, you've said plenty."Sam said, pulling the footstool in front of Dean's chair to the side, plopping down on it. There were plenty other places to sit, but he felt the need to be close to him.

"He's only running his mouth cause he thinks I can't kick his ass right now, but you're wrong buddy."Dean said, pointing a warning finger at Sam.

"Then bring it on."Sam said with a roll of his eyes and shake of his head, before remembering they were not alone. Turning his attention to the priest and woman, he remembered his manners and jumped up, walking towards them.

"Hi, I'm Sam Winchester."he said, extending his hand out to each of them in greeting as he did so.

"Father Eli Mullins." the priest said, returning his handshake firmly.

"Dr. Katherine Daugherty, but call me Kat."the woman said, also grasping his hand firmly.

"Okay, nice to meet you Father Mullins and Kat. Mr manners over here is my brother Dean."he said with a smile, nodding at him.

"You'll have to forgive me for not giving the same exuberant greeting as Sammy. I'm not getting around so good right now." Dean said with an apologetic grin to them, and once again Kat found herself feeling like a total unprofessional as she studied the 2 of them closely.

She considered herself to be a very good judge of character, and had found that you could learn a lot out about a person by their body language and words in just the first minutes ofter meeting them.

Going by this thus far, it was apparent that Sam was the more serious of the two, and was very protective of his older brother. He might kid and joke around, but she had a feeling that if he thought anyone posed a threat to Dean, little brother was more than capable of defending him, or at least put up one hell of a fight trying to do so.

In the elder brothers case, well he looked more like the fun loving type. Despite the fact he was obviously ill, his green eyes held a mischievous glint. That, combined with that devilish grin gave her the opinion that he was, well...the only word she could think to describe him was, hot.

Extremely hot.

Heck, little brother was extremely hot also. Maybe it would prove to be an even more interesting trip than she'd first thought.

Just by looking at Dean, one couldn't tell the extensiveness of the injuries his clothing hid, but the way he was constantly shifting and moving on his chair, a pained look on his face, attempting to find a comfortable position made Kat's doctor instincts kick in. In the end, she decided to wait though, and hear the story behind the situation before she imposed herself on him.

"My name is Sam, not Sammy."the younger brother said indignantly, pulling her attention back to the conversation taking place.

Good god woman, you're 28, not 12, not to mention Mr hot is supposedly housing a nice demon, so snap out of it, she mentally chastised herself.

"You're a doctor huh?"Deans voice broke into her thoughts. She looked up and found him staring at her with curiosity and nodded, clearing her throat as she replied,"Yes, that is correct."

"I've been a doctor."Dean said, and Sam gave him a withering look as he argued,"You did not. He's lying, don't believe him."

"You're no fun Sam."he said with a pout. Which turned into another grin when he added,"He's right. I technically was never a doctor, but playing doctor has always been one of my favorite games. Do you like to..."

"Dean Winchester, you will not finish that question if you know what's good for you." Missouri said, giving him a warning look as she came back into the living room carrying a teapot and several cups.

"Hehehe."Sam snickered after she said this."She told you."

"I was led to believe that someone here was in need of my assistance."the priest interrupted, gazing evenly at the brothers.

"Uh yes sir, once again I'll clarify that said person would be me."Dean said, raising his hand and waving it in the air.

"Well, if you're done with your senseless chatter and ridiculous attempts at flirting, then maybe we can get down to business."

"Okay, no problem father. You're the boss."

"We will start by you telling me exactly what happened to land you in this predicament."

Dean and Sam both nodded and started telling their story to the priest who sat listening intently to every detail. Finally they told him about what had occurred just prior to his arrival, and after finishing, sat looking at him expectantly.

"Well that is quite the tale."he said a moment later, then giving Dean a look of disapproval said,"And I'm to understand that you knew exactly what the consequences could be when you performed this reckless act?"

"Well...yes."Dean replied after deciding that being truthful was the best route to go with this man, who he felt even if he had attempted to lie too, would see right through it.

"Yet you did it anyway, so perhaps you should just have to deal with the consequences."the priest said shortly."Knowingly performing a ritual that can only be properly done by a priest with such recklessness abandonment just shows me that you hold in no regard, nor have any respect for yourself nor the others around you. Who's to say that if I did successfully extract this "demon", if that's what it truly is, from you that you will not just turn right around and do such foolishness again. So what would be the point in helping you. The only thing I can offer to you is advice, and that would be to look before you leap. Now if you'll excuse us, Miss Daugherty and I will be on our way."

"That's just fine with me."Dean said through gritted teeth."Because I don't need need your fucking help anyway. You call yourself a priest. A "man of the cloth", but know what you really are? A damn poser who has his self-righteous head stuck so far up his own ass that he wouldn't know a demon if it walked up and bit him."

"Dean!"Missouri said loudly, appalled by his words.

"No, no. Just let me finish what I'm saying."Dean replied without looking at the woman."You have no right to come in here and tell me what I should or shouldn't do because you weren't there to see that little girl, or to watch how much she was suffering. So hell yeah, I helped her, and I'd do it again! If she'd had to wait on one of your sanctioned exorcisms she'd have died while you dilly dallied around going through all the proper channels. Then she probably wouldn't have been approved anyhow, because you people don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. I bet you've never even performed an exorcism have you Father Mullins?"he asked with a smirk

"Hush that filthy mouth of yours right now."Missouri admonished him after this as the priest and doctor sat there with their mouths hanging open in shock."I don't want to hear another word from you!"

"I must take some time to consider all I've been told."Eli replied stone faced as he stood, putting his coat back on while Kat looked uncertainly between him and the other three people in the room." Good day to you all."he added as he walked out the front door.

"I knew you were a fucking coward Eli."Dean said in a low gravely voice." You were before and still are now."

"What did you say to me?"the priest asked, slowly turning back to look at Dean.

"Vos auditus mihi Abbas. (you heard me father)"he replied, as Eli and the three others turned to look at Dean.

"Oh god no."Sam muttered, seeing his brothers eyes were once again totally black.

"Who are you?" Eli asked, approaching Dean without hesitation.

"EGO sum plures" (I am many)

"Dico mihi vestri nomen. EGO requiro is per vox of deus"(Tell me your name. I demand this by the power of god) Eli demanded, pulling a small vial filled with holy water from his pocket.

"

"Vos can operor haud vulnero ut mihi vobis solum of unda"( You can do no harm to me with your bottle of water.) Dean said raising up from his chair."Is servo haud voluntas si is quisnam habitum is has haud fides.(It serves no purpose if he who holds it lacks faith.)

Sam was grabbing Deans arm in an attempt to stop him from going any closer to the priest, but was knocked away by a swipe of his brothers hand.

"By the power of god. I order you to leave from his servant."Eli continued, throwing the water on Dean, who fell to the floor while releasing a shriek of pain mixed with anger.

"

"EGO vadum operor nusquam insquequo EGO recieve ut quod EGO have exorior."(I shall do nothing until I achieve that which I come for)he hissed at the priest, then with a flick of his wrist sent the man flying across the room where he landed against the door with a thud.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."Eli said as Missouri and Kat rushed ti his side, and pushed away the hands they offered to assist him in rising.

"What is it you want?"the priest asked after regaining his bearings.

"Abbas. unus quisnam has iuguolo plures of meus liberi of annus. Ut est quis Volo."(The father. The one who has killed many of my children over the years. That is what I want.)

"The father? Do you mean their father?"Eli asked with a look of uncertainty.

"What about our father?"Sam asked quickly."What's he saying?"

"Etiam Sit unus Volo , quod insquequo EGO adepto him suus parvulus vadum exsisto ostendo idem eadem idem misericordia ut is pluo mei (Yes, he is the one I want, and until I get him his child shall be shown the same lack of mercy as he showed mine.)

Taking the cross from around his neck, Eli approached Dean and tossing more holy water on his, chanted a prayer, then touched the cross to his forhead.

"ARRGHHHHH!"he screamed as the cross touched him, his forehead smoking from being burnt by it.

They stayed that way for several more seconds until Dean started breathing in fast pants.

"Addo mihi abbas" (bring me the father) was his last words before he slumped to the floor, landing on his back.

Kat watched in horror as large slashes appeared on his arms while he convulsed on the floor, then doctor kicked in and she ran over to his side, Sam looking with helpless tear filled eyes at his brother suffering what looked like a seizure.

"Help me turn him on his side so he doesn't choke to death."she ordered Sam, who immediately did as told, and she placed her stethoscope on his chest to check his heart rate.

"Oh god!"she said unable to hold in the alarm she felt when she timed the beats.

"What? What is it?"Sam asked frantically.

"His heart rate is near 200 bpm."she replied.

"That's bad, right?"Sam asked, knowing it was but asking anyway.

"Very. It's weakening his heart, which could lead to a attack."she replied, cleaning his new wounds and applied bandages.

Eli was standing, watching the events that were taking place for a moment, then walked over and grabbed his coat, put it on, and walked towards the front door.

"You're leaving?"Missouri asked, following him, fuming with anger.

"I am, but I will be back. I just need to go pick up some necessary items."

"So you'll do it?"Sam asked, looking up from Dean to the man.

"Yes."was his only words, but right as he was closing the door he told Missouri.

"I think if at all possible, you should get his father here quickly."then left.

While Missouri went to call John Winchester once more, Sam and Kat worked on cleaning up and calming his brother who now lay on his side, staring with glazed eyes at nothing.

"It's going to be fine bro I promise. You're going to be fine."Sam said softly as he wiped his sweat covered face with a wet cloth.

He only hoped he wasn't lying to him.

Not as exciting as I had originally planned, but I've decided to draw the story out a little longer so I can work in all the stuff I want to. So forgive me if this chapter was a little boring! R&R!

Coming up: A possible death, a certain person finally shows up(wonder who that could be?) ,and a startling revelation is revealed.
