AN: Okay, here is chapter 16. And estimating it, I have about four or five more chapters to go before I'm through. So prepare for it to end.
Chapter 16: Bringing Up The Past
"The fear demon, they had to bring back that freaking demon," Dean scowled in the seat of the car.
After their talk with Daniel and Michelle, they went in Ben's room to ask him some questions. Like the others, he too was taken from his room, into the dark place and taunted by the fear demon. Sam and Dean were just making it to the car while comparing their stories.
"I know, those poor kids. I'm surprise he didn't try taking their life," Sam said putting up his badge.
"Well it's like you said, he's probably trying to get our attention."
"Yeah, maybe." The car went silence.
"Of all the things we faced, they chose Bob, the fear demon."
Sam turned his attention away from the window to Dean. He put a smile on his face before answering. "You're just upset because he won one over on you."
"No I'm not."
"Okay maybe not that but probably the fact that Chloe saved us."
Dean shook his head. "Whatever, if I wasn't out of it, I would have taken him."
"Yeah," Sam said shaking his head and turning back to the window he was looking out of. Another smile cross his face when he remembered telling Dean about what happen and seeing the look that crossed his face. He wanted to laugh but suppressed it so Dean wouldn't know. Dean put in one of his tape and turned the music up. Obviously, it must still bother him if he turned on the music. Personally it still bothered Sam too when he thought he loss Dean. He remembered the dreams he use to have about that day. Remembering the thrashing Dean was making when the demon, changed into a woman he never met, suck the life out of him. It was horrible. He was about to be next but lucky for him, Chloe came just in the nick of time and shot the demon disguise as Dean. He remembered all to well.
"Ch...Chloe," he stuttered.
"Shh, Sam its okay, I'm going to get you out of here. Where's Dean," she asked getting out the knife she saw in the bag and used it to cut the ropes. Sam didn't say anything. He just stared at the Dean on the floor. "Sam, where's Dean?" Chloe turned his face toward her after cutting the ropes and looks into his eyes. He had some tears in his eyes but closed them when Chloe still stared into his eyes. "Where's..."
'He's dead," Sam said shakily. "It killed him."
Saying those words made his heart stopped when Chloe asked him where's Dean. At that time he swore he thought he heard Chloe's heart stopped too but he couldn't tell. His eyes were closed to hold back the tears. But when he heard Chloe say his name and saw that the demon wasn't dead, he knew he had to do something to save their lives and get revenge for his brother. To weak because of the whole sucking thing, he didn't react quickly enough for the demon throw him to a wall and went after Chloe. Projecting Dean's memories and thoughts, he used them against Chloe's fears to suck her life from her. To his surprise, he saved her.
"Nooo," Sam screamed with his eyes closed and opened them when she saw the demon Dean falling into the fire. He looks toward Chloe and saw her covering her face with her arms. Oh no it happened again. He threw Dea...the demon into the fire with his powers like Max. Chloe uncovered herself and looked around. Dean was nowhere in sight. She looked over to see Sam looking stunned on the floor and ran over to him.
Though he was surprise, he saved Chloe's life. He couldn't be thankful for it then but he wished he could have done it when Dean needed him. They managed to get away for the third time after Chloe chopped the demon head off and all the souls it steal was restored. He was so happy to see the old, living Dean again.
Looking from the window, he looked at Dean. He was mouthing the words to an ACDC song and tapping his thumb on the steering wheel, totally oblivious to his brother stare. They arrive to the apartment shortly after the drive from the Center. It was almost dark and they still have work to do. Sam ran to Chloe's apartment door while Dean grabbed some weapons from the truck.
"What did you find out," she asked letting Sam in.
"Another copycat demon, this time it's the fear demon." Chloe frowned but nod her head anyway. She was about to close the door but Dean stopped her. Letting him in, she finally closed the door.
"So what are you guys going to do now? Did you get anything else beside it being a fear demon."
"Yeah, the kids say that they were taken to a dark place with big hanging rocks, any place in particular," Dean asked looking at Chloe while putting down his bag of goodies.
Thinking about it for a minute, she answered, "The cave."
"Our thoughts exactly," he said checking the magazine of one of his gun.
"Also we're thinking the kids from the Bugbear kidnapping might be there too," Sam jumped in.
"So you guys going to go check it out?"
"Yeah," Dean said checking another gun.
"I think I should go too, for the kids you know; while you guys hunt the two demons."
"I think we can handle the demons and the kids, Chloe," Dean said handing to the door. Chloe grabbed him by the arm to stop him. Dean glared at her with concern as much as she showed him.
Smiling a little, she said, "Be careful out there." She let go of his arm.
Dean looks her over before looking back at Sam. "Let's go," he said and then left out the door. Sam walked up to Chloe and put a comforting hand on her arm. Chloe smiled back at him and nod her head. With one last look, he left the apartment. Dean was halfway to the car when Sam caught up with him.
"You know she is only trying to help."
"I know Sam but we don't need her tagging along every time she thinks we can't handle our job."
"She's not saying that Dean and you know it. It's something else that bothering you isn't it? This isn't about the demons or my visions; it's about what happen in Chicago."
"What are you yapping about," Dean said reaching the car.
"Dean I know, I know why you're acting like this; snapping at me and pushing Chloe away. It's because what I told you in Chicago."
Dean stopped at the driver's door and look at the sad look Sam was giving him. Dean bit his lower lip to stop him from saying "you don't know what you're talking," only to say.
"I'm not in the mood right now Sam. Right now I'm in the mood for killing a couple of demons," and got in the car.
Sam rolled his eyes. It's no getting through to this barricade Dean. This Dean is one minded only and only for the demons causing hell in town. Knowing that this isn't the time for questions but action, Sam reluctantly got in the car. With no words, Dean started the car and they drove off to the woods.
Chloe watched as the boys stood by the car and talked. She moves away from the window and to the couch. Poor Dean, she thought looking at the window. So, agile with his work but so clueless with his emotions. She smiled a little at the way he looked at her when she grabbed his arm, always on the defense. With one little sigh, she got up from the couch and put on her jacket. Grabbing her keys off the counter, she left the apartment.
On the side of the building stood Keith with his arm folded across his chest. He watched as the little red car drove off down the block, going the same way the black car just went off too.
"This should be fun," he said before disappearing into the night.
