KITG: here is the next chapter for you :)
Lost In the DarknessSam awoke to the sound of chanting, the Latin washing over him as he looked around the cage he had been placed in. next to him were other people, male and female, all looking scared at what was going on. He looked around, seeing the ruined and dusty architecture of a dilapidated church. Here and there the effigies of angles, smashed and desecrated with demonic symbols. In the centre, the area cleared of pews was a pentagram carved into the wooden floor, on each of the points stood a person, there eyes shining black in the pale torch light.
"Sammy." He heard his dads voice, he looked over to see a metal cage like his own, filled with adults, some were whimpering others talking to some of the young adults in the cage with him.
"Dad, Where are we?" Sam asked, walking to the edge of the cage so he could face his dad.
"I don't know son. Seems were in a church somewhere. Are you ok?" His dad asked, trying to look him over in the dim light.
"I'm fine dad," Sam looked back to the pentagram on the floor. It seems they are trying to summon something.
"They said they were going to kill our parents and use us to make him corporeal" said a girl to his right; she looked to be around the 15-years-old. Some of the others began to whimper then parents included.
"We have to get out of here dad," Sam said with concern, looking to the locks of the cage.
"I know, I've been trying but he's placed a sealing symbol on the locks, can't pick them. And I have never seen the symbol before so I don't know how to counter it." His dad admitted.
The chanting continued as the father and son talked, the symbols around the pentagram began to glow as their power was called upon. Around the room the darkness clung to the corners, the broken stain glass windows letting in the smell of an approaching storm as in the distance the black clouds drew near, the flash of lightening across them heralding the anger they would bring. All were brought back to the moment as the demon they hated, the demon they hunted above all else. He smiled at seeing Sam was awake.
"Glad you could join us Sammy boy, would hate for you to miss this" the demon sneered, his yellow demonic eyes glinting in the fire light, almost seeming to writhe with the flame.
"Miss what exactly?" John asked, trying to distract the demon from Sam.
"Why, the moment I am free, free to walk this earth and claim it as my own of course" he replied, walking towards the pentagram, the symbols flaring blue flame a moment, lacing the air with the smell of sulphur, the rotten egg like smell enough to make those not used to the smell gag.
"I'll kill you!" Sam snarled
"You said that before I recall, yet here I am. No Sammy boy, you will die, your father will die as the blood sacrifice along with all these other meat sacks," the demon waved his hand in the direction of the parents in the cage. " You have no means to kill be, the colt is gone along with you precious big brother. Let me tell you a little secret Sammy boy. You big brother is dead."
"You're lying!"
"Oh no Sammy, you see I sent a few of my boys to look for him in case he still had the colt. But you see we couldn't sense him, no trace of his life essence. And we both know what that means" the demon smiled.
"He's hiding from you"
"Hiding from the Liber Mortem? I don't think so Sammy boy. No one can hide from that incantation. Not even me" the demon turned away, seeing Sam's heart crumble for he know he was right, no one could hide from the Liber Mortem, it sought out your life essence. The demon could not leave without one final taunt "I bet he died with your name on his lips Sammy boy, poor big brother, so lost without his family, kinda pathetic really"
"Shut up! Don't you talk about him like that!" Sam ran full pelt at the bars, throwing his weight at them with little effect.
"Sam don't listen" John called to his son, his voice devoid of any emotion. The demon walked away from the family, his laughter ringing in their ears.
"Dean.." Sam half sobbed falling to his knees, all he could see was the image of Dean, blood pouring from his chest. He felt his dad grip his shoulder. He placed his hand on his fathers, seeing the raw emotion in his dad's eyes. "..He's gone dad"
"I know Sammy, I know" his father whispered,
"I wish he was here.." the lost little brother, so aloe without his big brother to guide him.
"So do I Sammy..So do I" His father whispered brokenly into the flickering light.

Bobby's home came into view, the Impala roared as she idled, the deep growl of the engine reverberating through their bones, rattling the empty beer bottles that lay by the side of the dirt drive. In the drive were numerous vehicles, from trucks to motorbikes. Halfway to Bobby's he had phoned the old hunter, telling him he need everyone he could call to meet them there. Turns out they were all there anyway, the signs showing that something was going to happen in the Winchesters old home town of Lawrence.
Dean pulled the Impala up beside a Nissan Hilux, the truck shocks jacked high for all terrain. He could see the various signs on the truck that marked it as belonging to a hunter. Inside were various pendants hanging from the rear view mirror. Dean got out of the car, Galen following, letting dean take the lead, as they were his friends they were going to see. Dean came up to the peeling paint door, rapping his knuckles against it letting out a dull thump. Inside he heard footsteps approach the door then it was open and in it stood Bobby.
"Hey Dean old buddy, bout time you got here" Bobby stood back from the door.
"Hey Bobby, I need everyone's help, this is the big one" Dean embraced the old hunter.
"Well come in son, the gang is all here" Bobby opened the door wider so they could pass the threshold, Bobby giving Galen a dark glace, Galen knew he exuded demon I everything about him, especially to a hunter such s Bobby. Galen decided to hang back at the rear of the room as Dean explained it all, he could see the dark glances he was getting. They would not sense Dean; well not yet anyway as he was too newly formed, and was still part human. That would change as the years went on and his powers grew.
"Galen?" Galen was brought back to the moment by Dean's voice, seems he had just been asked a question and being off in his thoughts had not noticed.
"Humm?"
"I asked if you knew where the demon was holding dad" Dean replied.
"Oh, yeah. He's at the old ST Mary's Church in Lawrence….Ironic a suppose after the fact that your mother was named Mary." He commented idly as if the thought had just struck him.
"And how is it this dude knows this?" one of the hunters asked waving a hand at Galen.
"Oh, that's easy. Because I am a demon" Galen's eyes flashed red a moment. He almost laughed out loud at the number of guns that were now pointing in his direction. Unfortunately for them they had nothing in their arsenal to do anything to Galen other than annoy him well, bar Dean of course with the colt. "Oh calm down, besides you couldn't hurt me if you tried"
"Wana bet bub?" one hunter sneered at Galen, shoving the gun under Galen's chin, Galen rolled his eyes with a great sigh. The next thing the hunters knew all their guns were out of their grasp and pointing in their faces.
"Sure, I'll bet. But you would loose" Galen replied with a smirk, he let them sweat a moment.
"Galen.." he looked at Dean then he placed the guns on the floor before each of their owners. "Can we focus guys?" Dean said standing in front of Galen. But then Bobby walked forward placing his hand on Dean's shoulder to move him to one side and looked directly at Galen.
"I know you" Bobby stated just looking in Galen's eyes.
"I thought you might" He replied.
"What are you doing here?"
"What I always do"
"You know him Bobby?" Dean asked.
"Oh I know him, so what brings the Devils second in command here. To distract Dean from saving his family. Getting us all in one place so you can kill us?"
"Don't flatter yourself. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it just then with your own guns. If you know me like you say you do hunter…..then you know why I am here. Who do you think made you what you all are?" Galen brought his face close to Bobby's "Do you really think the first hunter knew all he did from learning it himself? You think angles taught him how to kill demons. That's a joke in it's self. I taught you all the ways of us, I taught you how to hunt. I was the original hunter. All you have learned has flowed from me. Some of you even carry my symbol. The symbol of the hunter. Now if you want to help Dean save his family then follow. If not, I guess we will have to do it on our own"
With that Galen left a stunned group of hunters and walked from the house. Outside he saw his bike waiting for him, standing bedside Deans Impala. He mounted her and kicked her engine to life while he waited. Soon enough all the hunters came out and got into their individual vehicles.
"Good to go Dean?" Galen asked as he sat on his bike.
"Yeah, lead the way" The Dean got into the Impala and started his own engine. Galen put the bike in gear and roared down the dirt road to the main road, hearing the others on his tail he lead the way to St Mary's church nearly and hour away.

The demon returned to the cage with several followers, they began to pull them all from their cages and setting that around the pentagram. Once places it was if their feet were glued to the wood floor. They cried and struggled but it did no good. In the centre of the pentagram was Sam, the demon walking towards him with a smile on his face as he picked the young adult off the floor with ease. Sam heard his father call his name; hear him shout at the demon.
"Well Sammy….time to say goodbye" the creature tightened his hold on Sam's throat, making it hard to breath as he pulled out a large ornate blade. He raised it above him to plunge it into Sam's heart when the old doors of the Church were blown inwards.
"Get your hand off my brother you son of a bitch!"
