Chapter 7
Dean jumped off the bed. Still half asleep he looked down at his beloved as she awoke. Almost giggling he got off the bed.
"Oh shit – we were supposed to be working." He said pulling up his jeans.
"We were." – she responded with mischief in her smile.
She put on his t-shirt and kissed him as he headed for the door.
"I'll be right back." He whispered, kissed her again and walked out.
Ana saw the man she loves walk out of her room, oblivious to what was happening. But she knew. She had her visions. She saw what will happen and who was already here.
"Good-bye Dean, I love you."
She said this knowing that although Dean was not in the room with her, she was not alone.
"AHHH! YOU LOVE HIM! A deep, cold voice taunted behind her.
She could smell the sulfur. She could feel the heat spreading through the room making the walls crack. With violent force she was slammed against the ceiling. She could not move. There in the middle of the room walking through the bed making it burst into flames was the demon. A man's figure with no face made up of flames. She used her mental powers to keep the fire away from her. She was not giving up her life without a fight.
"You're pretty strong girly." The monster said inside her head. "Lets see how long it takes me to break you."
Dean ran downstairs to see his father and Sam checking all the rooms. They were in a frenzy, collecting their gear and preparing for battle. Dean felt real fear for the first time in a long time.
"Dean, get your stuff, get ready he's coming. He's coming for Ana."
John looked up to see his son frozen with fear.
"Where's Ana! – Where is she Dean" John shouted as he tried shaking him out of his spell.
All stopped as they realized the smell coming from the upstairs bedrooms. SULFER
Dean woke up and ran up the stairs taking them two at the time. Sam and John followed closely behind. Dean rushed to her door. The smell was stronger here. He rammed it at full speed. He crashed right through and saw the monster. The beast that had taken his mother was now after his girl. He looked up and saw her pinned to the ceiling concentrating to keep the flames at bay.
"Ana! Let her go you bastard!"
Dean rushed forward to ram the demon down. With a swift wave of his hand the monster pined Dean against the wall. Almost crushing him. Sam ran in and immediately used his powers to create a wall between them and the fire. Tears already running down his face as he so Ana, the memory of Jessie rushing into his head. With his hand up he moved forward to enlarge the area he was protecting.
What happened next happened simultaneously.
As Dean fought to release himself from the demon's grip, Sam moved forward trying to protect them all. John saw what was happening and rushed into his room to retrieve a very special gun. He came back to the doorway and shot. The bullet hit the monster in the chest. It howled in pain. Small pieces of crystallized flames fell to the floor, and then everything became silent. The demon lost a little bit of power and Ana saw her chance. She took a deep breath and then….
"CRASHHHH!" –
Two giant invisible hands ripped through the ceiling of the house taken a hold of the demon, the ceiling and Ana. Tossing them high in to sky. Ana never lost her grip on the monster. From that high, her house looked like a single diamond in a black clothe. Thedemon knowing he was defeated broke away from his current form. Flying away in a thick cloud of smoke, it's remains shredding from her grip. Still rising Ana felt comfort in knowing that even though they did not kill the beast it was wounded. The descent began and Ana saw her life flash before her. The people she had met, friends she made, people she loved…Dean.
On the ground Dean could not stop screaming. Sam was looking up at the sky in complete disbelieve. The entire roof was gone. She took it all with her. She has saved them again.
"Help me!…. Help me!…. HELP ME!" Dean cried out in pain.
John rushed to his son checking him over for injuries only to realize that his agony was for her. Sam slid down the wall feeling useless, not being able to help his brother. He reached out with his mind trying to find her. He heard her. "Dean" she said lower than a whisper but there she was. She was falling and falling fast. Sam reached up again.
"Please God help me. Give me strength to do this"
Sam looked like a man in worship. His arms extended to the heavens. Concentrating with everything he had, he saw her again. Her t-shirt was clinging to her petite body as she came down. He could feel her in his hands. Her speed slowed a bit. She was still falling fast but he was holding her.
"Sammy, its okay let me go." she said with resignation.
"No Ana, Don't give up! I can do this!
Sam didn't realize that he had spoken out-loud.
"What did you say?" Dean asked in disbelieve, choking on his words.
Ana reached out to Sammy again, telling him she will not make it. She knew he was not strong enough for this. Assuring him it was okay. That it was not his fault.
"It time Sammy let me go."
"NO ANA! DON'T GIVE UP! I CAN DO THIS!" he was screaming to himself while Dean and John watched in horror.
Ana's speed slowed down some more. At some points in her decent she would pause like an old car stalling. She wanted to help him but there was nothing left in her. She looked down to see her fate of crashing through the trees not far from her house.
Sam's nose began to bleed. His strength was leaving him. He did not want to stop but he couldn't hold on. Gravity was pulling down on her again. Something was grabbing her and she thought it was Sam again but it was the branches on the trees breaking her fall. They struck hard against her, cutting her as they touched her. There was a small free fall and then a sudden stop. She heard her arm make a snapping sound when she hit the ground but she didn't feel a thing. The ground felt cold beneath her. It was a welcome change from the previous heat.
Sam was in shock talking to himself like a crazy person.
"I lost her. I had her but I lost her. I had her but she fell through the trees."
That was all that Dean needed. He pushed through his father's arms and ran out the house. John collected Sam who was still in a daze and ran after Dean. Dean began to run faster not really knowing where he was going.
"Ana! Ana, where are you?" He was screaming as he made it past the first wall of trees. He kept moving fast like a man possessed. "Ana talk to me baby!.. ANA!"
He kept running, no shoes on his feet, no shirt to cover him. The branches shredding his skin as he ran by, blood was dripping down his arms and chest. He could feel she was close.
"ANA, talk to me BITCH! Aren't you an all-powerful Santera! HUH? Don't you give-up. Talk to me, where the fuck are you?" he raved on hoping to get a rise out off her.
He came to a clearing and next to a huge tree laying face down was, Ana. His blood went cold for a split second. He rushed to her dropping to his knees next to her. She wasn't moving. He saw her arm had broken badly. He turned her over, pulling her close to him careful not to hurt her further. Dean was looking down at someone who resembles the woman he loves. Her face and body covered in blood. What was left of his t-shit was covering a small part of her. He lean toward her hoping she would open her eyes.
"Ana, wake up baby. Open your eyes. – Breath for me baby. Ana please. -
He kissed her eyelids as he cradled her back and forth. Her chest began to rise, she didn't open her eyes but she spoke.
"Dean? – Are you Okay?"
Dean smiled and kissed her. John and Sam found him. Ana was alive. They had some how snatched her from the monsters grasp. They had defeated the demon that hunted their dream for a long time. John sat by his oldest son and his new daughter and hugged them both. He then reached for his youngest and they all embraced each other. There in the woods the Winchester men found their family.
"In the end" John thought, "All we needed was a woman's touch."
THE END
