Brittany and Susan arrived at the house within ten minutes. Sam gave them as much detail as possible as they were getting everything together. When they arrived they carried two big bags up the stairs and into the room. Sam greeted them at the door to the room and explained a little more of what happened. When they entered the room, they saw Dean on the bed with Kat. He was looking at the bandages that were soaked through that they had used to try to clot the bleeding. Kat saw them and gave them a little grin.

Brittany- "So what have you done this time?"

Kat- "Stupid freakin' spider!"

Susan- "And of course you couldn't just listen to us and stop hunting. Do you ever hear a word we say?"

Kat- "Sometimes."

Britt- "Okay Dean we're going to have to look at her side. Can you remove the bandages?"

Dean nodded and as gently as possible moved the bandages. You couldn't even tell that they had been white at one point in time. The blood did look like it had finally began to clot but the greenness around the gash was starting to grow.

Susan- "Kat it looks really bad. You've already got a fever which leads me to believe that there is an infection. It also looks like it's poison going through your blood."

Brittany was hooking up some fluids in and IV for Kat as well as some blood to make up for what she lost. She was also cleaning the gash and putting fresh bandages on.

Kat- "And so poison can be washed out or whatever right?"

Brittany- "Yeah but it would take a long time to completely wash it out. And with the condition that your heart is in, you don't have the time."

Kat- "So what?"

Susan- "Because your heart has become so much weaker, the poison is attacking it a lot faster. Your heart won't be able to fight it off and it's slim that it will last more than a few weeks."

The room became pretty silent as everyone was taking everything in. Dean couldn't even think of anything to say. What was all the talk about her heart? It didn't make any sense. Sam was just staring at both Kat and Dean again put in the spot being told that someone he loved only had a few weeks to live. Dean finally broke the silence.

Dean- "What do you mean because of her heart?"

Susan- "She never told you? She's had a heart condition since she was born and it's gotten a lot weaker over the years and before this, it was probably gonna give out in about a year."

Dean- "What! That can't be true, she's perfectly healthy! Why didn't I know about this? Were you ever going to tell me? Huh?

Kat- "Dean I just didn't think that you needed to know. I really thought I would deal with it when it happened."

Dean- "So you didn't care to tell me? What did you think would happen? Kat, I would have helped you! I would have been there. We can figure something out. But I can't believe you didn't tell me."

There were tears in Kat's eyes and Dean was feeling all sorts of emotions. There was anger, pain, sadness, all sorts of stuff running through his mind. He just couldn't be there right now. The pain and helplessness of Kat was something that he just couldn't take. He banged his fist on the wall and went towards his car and went for a drive. It was the only thing he could think to do.

Sam tried to stop him but Dean only shoved him away. Brittany and Susan took some blood samples and headed back to the office to run some tests. Sam went further into the room and took a seat next to Kat.

Sam- "You know he'll be back."

Kat- "Yeah, but in what shape."

Sam- "You really should have told us."

Kat- "I was scared. I thought that you two would just leave me behind or so something stupid. I never meant for you two to find out like that."

Sam- "Dean only would have done that because he loves you. And even thought he does some stupid stuff he only does it because he doesn't fully think things true. Plus you could have a least told me. I mean we tell each other everything."

Kat- "Believe me, I know that I made a mistake and I'm happy that you're still here. I probably drove him away didn't I?"

Sam- "No. He can't stay away from you believe me. So what topic do we want to discuss while we wait?"

Kat- "How about some of the best writer ever."

Sam- "You mean Shakespeare?"

Kat- "No. Are you kidding me? Edgar Allan Poe is so much better."

Sam- "Fine. So favorite poem?"

Kat- "Annabel Lee."

Sam and Kat sat on the bed discussing literature and various other subjects. They even talked about the past and how they were when they were kids. Both enjoyed the fact that the other was always there for them no matter. For some reason it was always so easy for them to open up to one another.

Dean did the only thing he could think to do, drive. He just had to get away from everything. This was the only place that he could think clearly. Why was this always happening to the people that he cared about? It wouldn't' have mattered if it was him but it was always those that he loved. And then the fact that she kept her condition a secret made it even worse. It was even as if she had already accepted the fact that she was going die. Why wasn't she even fighting? There had to be something that he could do. There were always answers.

He drove a little more around the town trying to come up with ideas of what he could do. Okay so there are always ways to save people from supernatural stuff and even normal conditions. Then Dean started thinking about how even when he had weeks to live there was a solution. Sam had searched until he had found that faith healer. Of course Dean couldn't take Kat to a faith healer but then it hit him. He remembered that it was Roy that healed but the reaper in a way.

Then another thought occurred to him: Sam still had Sue Anne's book. Dean pulled over searched in the back, found the book and turned to the page for controlling a reaper. He had a plan and headed back to the house. He knew that it would work and he would do anything, even sacrifice himself if it meant saving her.
