Legion Ch.8
"Oh mighty father, cleanse this your servant of the evil. Almighty Lord, Word of God the Father, Jesus Christ, God and Lord of all creation; who gave to your holy apostles the power to tramp underfoot serpents and scorpions; who along with the other mandates to work miracles was pleased to grant them the authority to say: "Depart, you devils!" and by whose might Satan was made to fall from heaven like lightning; I humbly call on your holy name in fear and trembling, asking that you grant me, your unworthy servant, pardon for all my sins, steadfast faith, and the power — supported by your mighty arm — to confront with confidence and resolution this cruel demon. I ask this through you, Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, who are coming to judge both the living and the dead and the world by fire." Father Mullins repeated his prayer from earlier once again, his voice at first lacking the deep confidence it had held previously, but growing stronger as he spoke.
Placing his index finger in the air, he repeated the sign of the cross over Dean, who bucked and screamed on the bed but said no taunting words.
"The blood of the son compels you! God, the father compels you! Be gone from this, his child, a warrior in his army!" the priest continued on as the rooms temperature dropped even more, now so cold Sam was shivering, hugging himself for warmth.
"I will kill all of you! You will die and join my children in hell!"Dean yelled, his voice echoing as it rang out with an unnatural force. His head jerked again as it had done when killing the doctor, this time lifting Sam and John Winchester, suspending them in the air.
Father Mullins' words faltered at this action as his unwillingness to allow the demon to take any more lives temporarily won out over his duty as a priest to rid the world of the evil inhabiting Dean.
"Don't stop Father." Sam ordered, then continued speaking, now directing his words to his brother. "Dean! I know you're in there! Don't let it do this!" Sam pleaded, his faith in his brother very strong.
Just the fact that he and their father weren't automatically killed as Katherine had been was proof to him that Dean was still buried deep within the body writhing and cackling on the bed.
Father Eli picked up where he'd left off, voice stronger than ever.
"He's gone boy! I am in control and shall show no mercy to anyone!"the demon yelled in reply, but it was evident by the expression on his face that an inner turmoil was taking place.
"You're wrong! Dean is in there and he won't let you hurt us!" Sam yelled, nausea growing steadily within him due to the unnatural sensation he was experiencing from being held suspended.
"Son, you have to fight! You don't want this thing to kill your family." John spoke up, Eli's voice carrying out the ritual in the back ground.
"No! This is my body, and you will stop now!" the demon on the bed yelled as Dean temporarily regained control, Sam and John falling to the floor almost immediately afterwards, both released from the demons hold.
"The lord god almighty orders you! Be gone from his vessel demon!" Eli said triumphantly, knowing that the fact Dean was able to do this was proof the demons power was weakening.
"You may stop me now, but there are millions of my kind on earth and evil will triumph in the end!"the demon screeched, followed by a howl of pain.
"The power of god commands you! Leave this body and go back to the far depths of hell from which you came!" Eli ordered, splashing more holy water on him.
"I shall not go alone!"the demon stated as Deans back arched one final time before a black cloud erupted from his mouth.
"Be gone!" Eli yelled, throwing the water again and then making the cross sign.
One last howl of fury came from Dean, then his body fell limp as the demons essence finished pouring out.
The ritual complete, Eli closed his bible and backed away from the bed. Clearing the path to allow Sam and John room as they rushed forward.
"Dean? Dean!" Sam yelled, grabbing his brothers face between his hands.
After receiving no response, he felt his brothers neck for a pulse and found it was there, the beat growing slower and weaker by the second.,"Dad, help! He's dying! We have to do something!"
"Missouri! Call an ambulance!" John yelled, and was surprised by a hand being placed on his back and Missouri's voice saying,"I already did honey, they're on their way."
She had come into the room immediately following the completion of the ritual, gasped in shock when her eyes fell on the body of the doctor, recovered quickly when she saw Dean, went right to the phone, and called 911.
"Dean, son, can you hear me? You have to hang on." John ordered, knowing that doing so was the best way to get through to his eldest boy.
"Dean! Oh my god, he's not breathing dad!"Sam cried out in alarm."No Dean, please don't do this to me. I need you. "he pleaded, shaking his brothers still, unresponsive form.
"Stop it baby."Missouri said quietly, wiping a tear away quickly as she pulled the younger Winchester into a hug, trying her best not to look at the pale face of the elder brother in the process. She feared it was too late to do anything for him, what with all the blood and trauma his body had taken, and at this point her affections could be better used on the distraught Sam. " Shh...It will be okay baby. Everything will be fine, just calm down."
"No, it won't!" Sam yelled angrily, pulling away from her."Nothing will be alright ever again! First I lost Jess, and now Dean! I don't have anyone anymore, its not fair! And you, you promised he would be okay you bastard! You promised! And now he's dead, just like that demon said he would be! This is all your fault, and I fucking hate you!"he yelled at his father, who only ignored him as he worked diligently at reviving his blood covered son using CPR.
"Come on son, breathe. Please breathe."he mumbled as he stopped pumping on his chest to blow air into his mouth. Crying as he did so, never feeling as helpless in his life as he did now."You can do it, just try."
In the background Eli stood away from the others, silently saying the last rites for the young man as the heartbreaking scene took place before him.
"Yay though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil..."
Sam sobbed, burying his face in the chest of the woman who held him engulfed in her arms.
Dean was dead, and Sam wanted nothing more than to join him.
"Come on s-son, please breathe."John pleaded, unrelenting in his efforts.
"Stop it, just stop it! You killed him and there's nothing we can do about it!"Sam yelled accusingly."If you'd just told us you found the demon who killed mom and Jess then this wouldn't have happened!"
"Breathe, breathe, come on."John continued, but without the gusto from earlier, having almost given up on expecting any response.
Suddenly, seconds before John gave up,he was awarded by Dean taking a sharp intake of breath, followed by him slowly opening his eyes.
John sighed in relief, while Sam excitedly returned tho his brothers side.
"Is it gone?"Dean asked slowly, feeling disoriented and confused.
"Yes, it's gone."Sam replied, crying happy tears."You're demon free."
"Thank you Father."Dean said to Eli right before he lost consciousness again.
" The ambulance is here."Missouri stated, leaving the room momentarily to let them in.
They came bustling in seconds later, requesting for father and son to move aside so they could work.
Reluctantly Sam and John did as requested.
Sam was still within reaching distance when he was halted by the sound of Dean saying his name.
"I didn't know Sammy."were his only words before being rolled out of the house and placed in the waiting ambulance.
Saying a little prayer, Sam jumped into the ambulance also with John and Missouri following right behind them.

Yes, it was a little rushed but I really want to finish this story up and not just let it hang in limbo. There's one chapter to go and I'll try and make it more exciting.
Once again, sorry for the crappiness!
