Chapter 5: Cold hellhole
"Hey son," John Winchester said with a smile
"Dad, am I dreaming?" Sam asked from the chair he was in
"No Sammy," Dean said quietly
"How's Katie doing?"
"Uh, she's um in a coma actually."
John sighed deeply, "Damn."
Sam still stared blankly at his father. John smiled at his son.
"Well Sammy, almost forgot how big you are."
Sam nodded then looked at Dean who was looking at Katie. She was almost as pale as the sheets she was lying upon. Dean once again swept the hair out of her face and held her a little tighter. John now looked at Dean.
"Grown attached?" he asked with a big smirk. When Dean frowned up at him he said, "Well, don't worry: I did too."
"I just wonder what she's thinking about."

Katie walked down the blinding white path shielding her eyes. She looked around but heard and saw nothing.
"Help! Hello! Is anyone there!" she was now getting hopeless until she heard him
It was barely a whisper, "Katie, Katie can you hear me? It's John."
"John," she said weakly but she knew he didn't hear her
"Katie, squeeze Dean's hand if you hear me."
She now felt something warm on her hand and she looked at it. She squeezed her hand.
"Good girl, we'll get you out of there as soon as possible."
"Thank you John," she said and sat on the floor wiping the tears off of her cheeks

John turned to Sam, "Sammy, I know you have psychic powers and there's something you can do to help."
Sam looked confused up at his father, "What'd you mean?"
"You can astral project into Katie's mind."
He gawked at him then at Dean who was staring at his hands as if he already knew. "How?" he finally got out
"Just focus," John said simply
Sam sighed, "How easy…"
"To me," John said with a smile
The youngest Winchester shook his head, "I can't."
"Alright, Dean. I need your help."
Dean finally looked up at him, "Fine," he got up from his place gently laying Katie back down, "Sam hold my hands."
Sam looked hesitant causing Dean to say, "God Sammy you didn't care when I slept in the same bed as you but holding my hands is an issue!"
Sam frowned, "Fine!" he exclaimed holding his hands, "Why'd you have to bring up sleeping in the same bed?" he now muttered
"Shut it," Dean said frustrated, "Alright, now look into my eyes. What'd you see?"
Sam looked directly at Dean's eyes and cocked his head, "Katie, she's smiling."
He nodded, "Good."
"Aw, Dean, you're thinking about Katie. How adorable!"
"Shut up you sappy bitch."
Sam frowned, "Idiotic jerk."
"Now, focus on her. Want to be with her. Just focus."
Sam soon fell into his brother's chest. Dean sighed and looked up at John, "I hope you're right Dad."

Sam was suddenly standing in the middle of a blinding white path. A few feet away from him he saw a huddled form of a woman.
"Katie!" he asked
She looked up at the sky but not at him, "Sam? I'm scared."
"Katie, are you okay?" he asked running to her
She looked up at him and jumped into his arms, "Oh my God, Sammy."
"Yeah, are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked holding unto her tightly.
"I, I'm fine. Just scared beyond reason." She pulled away and looked around, "We're the hell are we?"
"I have no idea but I'll be right back ok?"
She nodded, "Astral projecting?"
"Pretty much."
"Hurry."
He nodded and disappeared.

Sam awoke with a gasp and noticed he had been placed back in the chair. John was kneeling before him.
"She alright?"
"Yeah, she's fine but in her words 'Scared beyond reason'."
John nodded, "Understandable, she's in a spirit realm. Something had to take her there so they can get to your brother and you."
"Me? I thought I had my own angel."
John stared down at his hands for a minute, "She's gone Sam."
Sam shook his head as tears came to his eyes. "Again? Great."
John sighed deeply and looked over at Dean for help. Dean shrugged but got up.
"Sammy, it wasn't your fault. We think something is coming after all guardian angels so they can get to us."
Sam still not convinced shook his head standing up and left the room. Dean looked over at his father. John sighed again shaking his head.
"I'm going to see if brotherhood can prevail," Dean said and left the room
John then smiled and looked at the ceiling, "I think I did something right Mary."
Dean walked into the men's room after Sam. He sighed when he didn't see anyone.
"Sammy, I know you're in here," he said and kicked one door open: nothing
He kicked the next door but it was lost and he heard, "Hey buddy!"
"Oh, sorry," Dean said with a wince and kicked the next
This time it opened to reveal Sam standing there with the dumbest grin on his face.
"Imagine if that door opened," he said with a laugh
"I would be scarred for life."
Sam laughed again but Dean could tell it was a cover up. He sighed and led him out of the stall.
"Alright, I'm getting sick of you." Dean was now pointing at him, "You have to stop blaming yourself for everything."
Sam shook his head and attempted walking past his brother but instead was pushed back and into the wall, Dean backed away blocking his way of leaving.
"Do you understand me?"
Sam sighed stepping forward a little, "Look Dean, I'm over it. Ok?"
"No, not okay. I need to know that after this that's it. You won't do this again."
Sighing again he agreed, "I promise."
Dean nodded, "Let's go help Katie."

Katie looked around at her surrounding once again. "Sam where are you?"
A figure could be seen behind a tree. She sighed, "God, Sammy! What took you so long?"
The figure slowly made its way out of the trees. "Sam?"
When she could see it fully she jumped up. Getting in fight position she asked, "Who the hell are you?"
He just stood there an evil grin on his face. She stood straight up and cocked her head to the side.
"What you want?"
He still stood there and then finally pointed to her. She shook her head.
"Over my dead body."
Sam then appeared behind him. She smiled as he knocked him out with the gun. He smiled back at her.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, what took you so long?"
"Katie, something is killing all the guardian angels," he said with a sigh
"Oh my God," she covered her mouth with one hand
"Crystal's dead and so is a few others."
"Sam, I'm so sorry. You have to get me back so we can round up the surviving angels."
"One step ahead of you," he said pulling out a potion bottle for his pocket, "Here drink this. It'll make it possible for me to bring you back with me."
"It better taste good," she said as she caught it
"Dean made it especially for you."
She stuck her tongue out, "Eww, I don't trust it!"
Sam laughed, "I watched him make it."
"Still, Dean cooked it. He probably added extra… something lethal."
Sam shook his head, "Katie, just drink it."
"Fine, anything to get me out of this cold hellhole."
Katie: (shudder) I would never drink anything Dean gave me.
Dean: Whatever bitch.
Bianca: You guys be nice.
Dean and Katie: Oh, shut up!
Bianca: Fine, damn!
Sam: Daddy's back. (everyone looks at Sam) What?
Dean: God, please help this kid. (shaking his head)
Bianca: Please, please, please review because I'm becoming desperate for reviews! Bye!
Dean and Sam: Bye guys.
Katie: Toodles!
Sam: You have to be the odd ball, don't you Katie? (Katie nods)
