Dean has just come out of another hallucination. He stares at Sam. Suddenly the door to the cabin flings open. Dean and Sam jump and grab their guns. Jamie walks in and waves her hand, slamming the door behind her. Dean and Sam both sigh in relief and look at their sister. Her hair is reddish but blonde at the roots, cut off so that it grazes her chin, and her clothes are ripped, rumpled, and bloody and she has a nasty cut down on the side of her face, same place as where she got cut when she, John, Sam, and Dean were hit by the demon trucker after the encounter with Azazel. She sways on her feet.
"Oh my God!" Sam and Dean run over to her. Dean picks her up and carries her over to the bed. Sam fumbles around for their med kit. "Jamie, what happened?" Dean sits besides his sister, moving her hair away from the cut. She reaches up and grabs his hand, holding it tightly.
"I've been looking for you guys for two days." Sam walks over and drabs the cut on her face. She hisses in pain. Dean looks down at her stomach and sees her shirt and jeans covered in blood. "It's not mine." She tells him, reading the concern on his face. Tears run down her cheeks. "Andrew's dead."
"What? What happened?" Sam asks, taking her other hand.
"We were hunting a demon. There weren't any signs that it was something big and powerful, just annoying. Headache wasn't even that bad. We trapped it, I exorcised it, we left. Only I didn't really exorcise it. It tricked me. It trapped itself inside, I didn't see a mark. Next thing I know we're being attacked. Andrew is shooting the hell out of it, I'm screaming in Latin, and suddenly I can't see, I can't move. Not only is the exorcism not working, I can't use my telekinesis, I'm bound, and the only way I can see is through the mind link with AJ. He runs out of bullets. The salt is gone. We're out of holy water. He's not wearing iron. I can't find my knife. He grabs unto me. The one thing protecting us is my damn tattoo. And he just drops in front of me and hemorrhages. The demon bitch, whoever it is, takes a step towards me and tells me I'm damn lucky I'm the one who got away, because otherwise I'd be just as cold as Sam was, Andrew is, and Dean will be. And then it leaves. Everything goes black. And when I wake up AJ is dead in my arms." Dean wipes the tears off her face, holding her tightly to him. "My boyfriend is dead, Dean. I salted and burned AJ's body. Swear to God I won't have to burn yours too."
Awhile later Bobby is standing over a map over the states, and places an old tracking device over it. Basically it has three wooden "legs" coming out from a glass or crystal ball at the top. The ball has a flat, metal piece going around it with symbols on it. Further down the legs there's another metal piece, only bigger. From the ball hangs pendulum device that is sharp on the end so that it can pinpoint a specific place. "So you need a name, that's the whole kit and caboodle. With the right name, right ritual, ain't nothing you can't suss out." Bobby tells the siblings.
"Like the town Lilith's in?" Sam asks.
"Kid, when I get done, we'll know the street." Bobby turns to Jamie who is standing beside Dean, still looking pale unsteady. "Jamie…" He holds up a book. "It's Latin."
Jamie looks at Dean who pushes her closer to Bobby. He begins the ritual and starts the swing for the pendulum. Jamie chants in Latin. As Dean and Sam watch, the pendulum begins to search over the map until it suddenly just stops, pointing out Lilith's location.
"New Harmony, Indiana." Bobby says.
"I'll be damned." Jamie spits. "That's not far from where Andrew and I ran into the demon who got him."
Dean looks up at her from the map. Sam nods.
"Alright." Sam pushes the pendulum away and looks at Bobby. "Let's go."
Dean shakes his head. "Wo-wo-wo-wo, hold on. Let's all shut up there, Tex."
Sam and Jamie look up. "What's the problem?"
Dean stares at the two of them. "What's the problem? Come on, where do I begin? I mean, first of all, we don't even know if Lilith holds my deal. We're going off of Bela's intel? Now when that bitch breathes, the air comes out crooked. Okay. Second, even if we could get to Lilith we have no way to gank her. And third, isn't this the same Lilith that wants your giant head on a pike, should I continue?"
Bobby scoffs. "Ain't you just bringing down the room."
"Yeah, well it's a gift."
Sam and Jamie look at each other. Sam rolls his eyes. "I'm sorry, so then what are we supposed to do Dean?"
"Besides sit here and watch you die." Jamie tells him.
Dean looks at his siblings. "Just 'cause I gotta die doesn't mean you two have to, okay. Either we go in smart or we don't go in at all."
Sam sighs. "Ok fine. If that's the case I have the answer." Jamie looks over him. Dean crosses his arms.
"You do?"
"Yeah. A surefire way to confirm it's Lilith and a way to get us a bona fide demon-killing ginsu."
Dean shakes his head. "Damn it Sam, no." He turns his back to Sam and walks a few steps. Jamie looks confused.
"We're so passed arguing. Dean, I am summoning Ruby." Sam tells him.
Jamie crosses her arms, looking from Sam to Dean. "Uh, hi. I've been gone all season. Who the hell is Ruby?"
"The demon bitch Sam is sweet on." Dean turns around, facing them. "And the hell you are! We have enough problems as it is."
"A demon?" Jamie looks over at Sam.
"Exactly." Sam walks up to Dean. "And we've got no time and no choice either." He gives Jamie a look. Jamie sighs.
"Come on man, she is the Miss Universe of lying skanks, okay. She told you that she could save me, huh lie. She seems to know everything about Lilith but forgot to mention, oh right Lilith owns my soul!"
"Okay, fine. She's a liar. She's still got that knife."
Jamie puts her face in her hand. "Dean…Maybe…" She looks up at her big brother.
"For all we know, she works for Lilith."
"Then give me another option, Dean. I mean, tell me what else."
Bobby finally speaks up. "Sam's right."
Dean looks at Bobby, his face flush with anger. Jamie walks towards him.
"I don't like it either, big brother, but if we don't something fast you are going to die!"
Dean turns to her, obviously upset. "NO! DAMN IT!" Jamie takes a step back. Bobby looks at him, surprised. They all look at each other for a few seconds, waiting for Dean to say something. Dean takes a deep breath and speaks calmer. "Just no. We are not gonna make the same mistakes all over again." Sam and Bobby are shocked. Jamie frowns deeply. "You guys wanna save me, find something else."
Sam and Bobby look at him as he walks back to the table he was sitting at before, and sits down with a contemplative look. As Sam looks at him, sighing, Bobby grabs his jacket. Sam and Jamie stare at him. "Where are you going, Bobby?" Sam asks.
Bobby shakes his head. "I guess to..." He throws out his arms out. "…find something else." Bobby leaves. Jamie walks over and stands next to Dean. He looks up at her and looks away. Sam sighs looking into space, thinking about everything himself.
It's a little while later. Dean is engrossed in a book. Jamie knows Sam is in the basement with Ruby, it just takes her a few minutes before she can get up and go down the stairs. Jamie walks in, looking apprehensive and a little scared. Sam and Ruby see her. "Sam?"
Ruby looks up. "You must be Jamie."
"Yeah, I must be." Sam walks over stands just slightly in front of her. Jamie shoves him aside. "Can you save Dean?"
Ruby looks at her. "You're the great Jace Winchester, aren't you? The one who sees. I heard about your boyfriend."
Jamie shakes her head. Memories of AJ's death come flooding back and tears threaten to fall. "Can you save Dean?"
"I know how to save your brother." Sam shoves Jamie behind him.
"No, you don't! You told Dean you couldn't! You've been lying to me all along, so just give me your damn knife!"
"You're not the one I've been lying to. "
"Oh, so you can save him?"
Ruby looks straight at Sam. "No. But you can."
"What?" Jamie and Sam ask at the same time.
"Sam, you've got some God-given talent. Well, not "God"-given but you get the jist. And that's just you." She glances at Jamie.
"All that psychic crap? That's gone ever since Yellow-eyes died."
Ruby is shaking her head. "Not gone, dormant. And not just visions either. Why do you think Lilith is so scared of you?"
"Right... she's scared of me."
"If you wanted, you could wipe her off the map without moving a muscle. You both could. Jamie, you are more powerful then you realize. Very soon demons will run from you."
Jamie narrows her eyes. "You're lying."
"I don't believe you. "
"It's the truth."
"And you decided to tell me this just now?"
"Uhm.. Demon. Manipulative's kinda in the job description. Fact is, is that you would have never concidered it. Not until you were-"
"Desperate enough?" Sam and Jamie finish at the same time. They exchange a look, and she shrugs as he looks away.
"You don't like being different. You both hate the way Dean looks at you sometimes. Like you're some kind of sideshow freaks. But suck it up because we've got a lot of ground to cover, and we've gotta do it fast. But we can do it." Jamie steps back. Sam clenches his jaw, looking at the floor. After a beat he looks up at her. "Look. Call me a bitch, hate me all you want, but I have never lied to you Sam. Not ever. And I'm telling you. You two... can save your brother, and I can show you how."
"So that's you, huh? Our slutty little Yoda." Dean shows up behind her, not looking very happy. Jamie moves towards him.
"Dean." Ruby turns around, looking at him and all her softness in her voice that she directed at Sam and Jamie is gone. "Charming as ever." She says sarcastically.
Dean and Jamie walk towards her and Sam. "Aw, I knew you'd show up. Because I knew Sam wouldn't listen." Sam looks at him on that note but looks away quickly. Jamie looks at Dean. "But you're not gonna teach them anything, you understand me? Over my dead body."
"Oh. Well, you're right about that."
"What you are gonna do is give me that knife. And then you can just go crawl back into whatever slop you came from and never bother me or my brother or my sister again. Are we clear?"
"Your brother is carrying a bomb inside of him. Your sister is more valuable than any kind of material wealth. We'd be stupid not to use them." Jamie grabs unto Dean's arm and moves behind him. Dean glances over his shoulder at her.
"Dean, look, just hold on for one-"
"Sam! Don't. Come on man, what, are you blind? Can't you see that this is a trick?" Dean yells, angry.
"That's not true."
"She wants you to give into this whole demonic psychic whatever, okay. I mean hell, she probably wants you to become her little anti-christ Super Star." Jamie whimpers just slightly.
"I want Lilith dead. That's all." Ruby says, angrily.
"Why?" Dean asks.
"I've told you why!"
"Oh, right, yeah. Because you were human once and you liked kittens and long walks on the beach." Dean mocks her.
Jamie swallows heavily. "Dean…"
"You know, I am so sick of proving myself to you. You wanna save yourself, this is how. You dumb, spineless dick. "
Dean looks at her, and then turns around as if to leave but instead comes back swinging his right hook and punching her in the face, looking pissed. Jamie hurries back. Sam backs away a bit, surprised by the hit. He goes over to Jamie. Ruby takes a few steps back with the hit, looks up at him as she wipes blood from her lip and after a beat hits him once with her right fist and then her left.
"Ruby, hay!" Sam calls.
"Dean!" Jamie yells.
Sam grabs unto Jamie and holds her behind him. Ruby goes around, hits Dean in the back causing him to double over. She then knees him in the face, sending him into a beam and sliding to the floor. As she turns around to Dean he hits her in the face once with his left and as he's about to hit with his right she ducks out of the way and going with his momentum knees him in the stomach. Sam is on the floor holding a hand over his mouth and the other holding Jamie back as more punches are being thrown by Ruby. She kicks Dean in the face causing him to fall to the floor. He tries to get up but she walks over and kicks him hard in the stomach sending him rolling over the floor. He starts to get up and she comes over and takes hold of him, helping him up face to face only to headbutt him so he falls backwards to the floor again. Jamie breaks Sam's grip and rushes over to Dean. As Ruby stands looking at him, he starts grinning and slowly rises to his feet with Jamie's help.
"The hell are you grinning at?"
"Missing something?" Dean pulls up her knife infront of his face. She looks at him like "you bastard".
"I'll kill you, you son of a bitch."
She rushes towards him but Jamie holds her hand out and she thrown back. She gets up and starts towards them again but she is stopped by an invisible wall. She tries to walk past it once as Dean and Jamie just look at her. She looks at them and then looks up at the roof. Dean's painted a Devil's Trap. Sam takes his hand from his mouth, surprised by this. Ruby looks at Dean again, pissed. He smiles a little, looking at the trap and then he looks at her, still holding up the knife.
"Like I said..." He hands the knife to Jamie. "I knew you'd come." He takes Jamie's hand and walks away from Ruby, towards the staircase. She follows him with her eyes.
"Wait! You're just gonna leave me here?" Dean and Jamie stop, waiting for Sam and ignoring Ruby.
"Let's go Sam."
Jamie nods. "Come on."
Sam comes over as Dean takes a deep breathe, blinking hard and then he pushes Jamie slightly. She starts up the steps, he follows with Sam behind him.
"Oh, oh you- so you're just too stupid to live, is that it? Then fine! You deserve hell! I wish I could be there, Dean. I wish I could smell the flesh sizzle off your bones! I WISH I COULD BE THERE TO HEAR YOU SCREAM!"
Jamie lets out a sob. Dean groans, pissed she upset Jamie. "And I wish you'd shut your piehole, but we don't always get what we want."
Dean, Jamie, and Sam have laid out their weapons. Among them lies the gun with the white handle Dean has use over the years. He picks up a clip. He, Jamie, and Sam are loading weapons under dead silence. Sam has something on his mind. "We're just gonna let Ruby rot down there?"
"That's the idea."
"Dean, what if uh... What if Ruby's right? What if I can take out Lilith?"
Dean looks up at him with an angry, doubting look. Jamie looks at both of them with pleading eyes.
"Sam…"
"Quit looking at me like that. Both of you."
"What, are you gonna give her the Carrie-stare and Lilith goes "poff"? "
"Dean…"
"I don't know what Ruby meant. You know, maybe we should just go ask her."
"Sam, you wanted the knife - I got you the knife." He walks over to another table. Jamie sets her gun aside and picks up the knife. She twirls it in her hands.
"Dean, just listen to me for a second. Last time Lilith snapped her fingers and put thirty demons on our ass, and all we got's one little knife? I mean, like you said, we go in smart or we don't go in at all."
Jamie looks toward Dean. "Maybe he's right."
"Well, this ain't smart."
"We got one shot at this, Dean. Just one. So if there's a surefire way then maybe we should just talk about it. "
Dean walks up to him as he speaks. "Sam. We are not gonna make the same mistake all over again."
"You said that but what does it even mean?"
Jamie gets up. "Dean. This is about you. This is not about Dad. You have to stop thinking about that!"
"Jamie, stop, don't you see a pattern here? Dad's deal, my deal, now this? I mean everytime one of us is-is-is up the creek the other is begging to sell their soul." He looks at Sam. "That's all this is, Sam. Ruby's just jerking your chain down the road. You know what it's paved with and you know where it's going."
Jamie sighs and looks away. Dean turns around, sits down against a table and picks up the guns again. Jamie gets up and walks over to him. Sam shakes his head a bit and walks around to the other side of the table.
"Dean." He sits down next to Dean, looking at him as he continues to assemble the weapon.
"What do you think is gonna happen? This is me, I can handle it." Jamie looks at Sam. They share a look. Dean stops what he's doing, looking at the floor and shakes his head. "And if it'll save you..."
"Dean."
"Why even risk it?" He looks up at both of them. Jamie stares at him. Sam looks away for a beat and then back at him with the obvious answer.
"Because you're my brother. Because you did the same thing for me."
Dean scoffs. "I know... And look how that turned out."
He looks at him and Sam looks away at this.
"Dean."
"Jamie. No. You especially, no."
"What's so damn special about me?"
"Look, all I'm saying.." he gets a little chocked up. "Sammy, Jamie, all I'm saying is that you're my weak spot."
Sam looks over at him at this. Jamie's eyes get red.
Dean gives them a smile. "You are. Both of you. And I'm yours."
Jamie is shaking her head. "Damnit."
Sam is choked up. "You don't mean that, we're.. we're family."
"I know. And those evil sons of bitches know it too. I mean, what we'll do for each other, you know, how far we'll go? They're using it against us."
"So what?" Jamie looks at Dean. "We just stop looking out for each other?"
"No, we stop being martyrs, guys. We-we-we stop spreading it for these demons." He picks up Ruby's knife and holds it up. "We take this knife, and we go after Lilith our way. The way dad taught us to. And if we go down, then uh... then we go down swinging." Sam just looks at him. Tears run down Jamie's face. "What do you think?"
"I think…" Jamie looks at Sam.
Sam looks down on the floor, thinking, then he looks up at Dean. "I think you totally should have been jamming "Eye of the Tiger" right there." Jamie starts laughing softly.
"Oh, bite me. I totally rehearsed that speech, too."
"I know. I heard you." Jamie wipes her eyes and hugs him.
Sam smiles at that. "So, Indiana huh?"
"Yeah, where Lilith's on shore-leave."
Jamie smirks. "God…"
"Yeah, I guess. "
"Tell me something." Sam and Jamie look up at him. "The hell's a demon do for fun?"
Sam, Jamie, and Dean are in the Impala about to leave. Dean tries to start up the car but it won't start up. He and Sam look a bit worried and reaching the "what's going on" faces. Jamie's jaw drops a little. Suddenly Bobby shows up outside Dean's door, scaring the boys with his sudden appearance. Jamie however shakes her head and crosses her arms. "Damnit Bobby."
"Where do you think you're going?" Dean looks at him and the distributor cap he holds in his hand. After a beat he, Jamie, and Sam gets out of the impala and walks up to Bobbby who's not looking happy. But then neither is Dean.
"We got the knife."
"And you intend to use it without me." Sam and Jamie come from around the car and stands in the middle next to Dean and Bobby, watching them. "Do I look like a ditchable prom-date to you?"
"Ew." Jamie remarks. Sam grabs her hand.
"No Bobby. Of course not."
"This is about me... and Sam and Jamie. Ok? This isn't your fight."
Bobby walks up to Dean, furious by those words. "The hell it isn't!" Dean looks at him, taken aback by this.
"Family don't end with blood, boy. Besides, you need me."
"Bobby."
"You're playing wounded. Tell me, how many hallucinations have you had so far?" Sam looks at him, a bit confused by this. He looks over at Dean who turns to look at him, tilts his head one time. Both of them look at Jamie.
"What?"
Dean turns back to Bobby. "I know how she knows, but how'd you know?"
"Because that's what happens when you've got hellhounds on your butt. And because I'm smart, I don't psychic powers to tell me that."
Jamie scoffs at this. "Be nice Bobby, we're probably gonna die tonight."
"Hmm." Dean looks down on the ground, as Sam watches him. Bobby hands Dean the distributor cap. "
I'll follow." He walks away from the boys, over to his own car. After a moment Dean walks over to the hood of his car, ready to put back the part. "Don't be stopping to pee every ten minutes either."
Dean stops in his tracks, shakes his head a bit with raised brow. He turns around looking back at Sam who looks at him and sighs, and Jamie who stares back at him.
The boys and Jamie are driving down the road, on their way to Indiana. "Hay Dean?" Sam asks.
"Yeah?"
"Oh god." Jamie turns away.
"You know if this doesn't uh... this doesn't go the way we want, I want you to know-"
"No. No-no-no-no."
"No what?"
Dean looks over at Sam. "No, you're not gonna bust out the misty good-bye speech, ok? And if this is my last day on earth, I do not want it to be socially akward. That goes for you too, Jamie." Sam looks down and out the window and Dean turns back to the road. Jamie sighs. "You know what I do want?" He reaches down to the radio and starts up Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive". Sam looks a bit "eeh?".
"Bon Jovi?"
"Bon Jovi rocks…"
"Dean!" Jamie whines.
"On occasion." He looks over at Sam to underline this statement. When Sam looks away Dean turns back to the road and begins to sing along with Bon Jovi. " And I walk these streets A loaded six-string on my back I play for keeps" He turns to Sam, nudging him. "Come on. Cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere." He glances back at Jamie. She finally smiles a little.
Sam and Jamie start singing. "Oh yeah."
"and I'm standing tall"
Sam and Jamie laugh and sing along with him
"I've seen a million faces
And I rocked 'em all
'Cause I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted"
Dean looks over at Sam who's really getting into it and then glances at Jamie.
"WANTED!" Jamie and Sam sing together. Dean looks back on the road and Sam smiles as he sings with him.
"Dead or alive."
"Dead or ALIVE!" Sam and Jamie sing. Dean begins to lose the will to sing and his smile is beginning to fade. Jamie stops singing. Sam just continues to sing, laugh and smile, not noticing like Jamie is how Dean is suddenly taking in the lyrics, realizing how much they actually fit him and what is about to come. His smile completely vanishes, as he's staring out on the road. He glances back at Jamie, wondering if she's seen the outcome. She presses her lips together and then looks away.
"Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive" The music takes over and Dean's smile is completely gone. Jamie frowns, and then notices a police car as they drive past. A siren is heard behind them and the boys and Jamie react. Dean looks up in his rearview mirror as Sam looks over at him and Jamie moves up. The flashing lights from the police car is now reflecting inside the car and over their faces.
"What the hell?" Jamie asks.
"We getting pulled over?" Sam asks, confused.
Dean looks in his sideview mirror. "I've got a busted tail-light. It's not like we're in a hurry or nothing." He rolls down his window as Jamie hands over the license and Sam gets the registration. The police officer walks up to Dean's window, flashlight in hand. "Problem officer?"
"Licence and registration, please."
Dean, not looking at him, hands out the needed papers. The officer takes and looks at it as he's talking to Dean. In the backseat Jamie winces very, very quietly.
"Do you realise you have a tail-light out, mr Hagard? "
Dean looks up him and after a beat his face falls as he's looking at him. The officer tilts his head and shines the light on him.
"Yes.. yes sir. Uhh.. you know I've been meaning to.. take care of that." Dean slowly turns his head back towards the road in front of him, his eyes dodging back at the officer during that. "As a matter of fact... " He suddenly opens his door fast, hitting the officer in the stomach with it. Dean rushes out the car at him.
"DEAN!" Sam yells.
"Come on, Sam!" Jamie shoves at Sam's seat for him to let her out. Sam opens his door, surprised by Dean's action. Jamie scrambles out beside him. Dean punches the officer three times in the face as Sam tries to run around the car to stop him. Jamie grabs unto Sam and pushes him back against the Impala. She takes out the knife from her belt and tosses it to Dean. He catches it and thrusts it into the jaw of the officer. As we see Bobby pulling up behind the police car, the officer begins to flash within, showing that Dean just thrust the knife into a demon. Jamie presses herself against Sam, squeezing her eyes shut. Dean pulls out the knife and lets go off the demon who falls dead to the ground. He stands over him, arm behind him, panting after the fight. Sam, shocked, and Jamie move away and Sam moves up behind him. Bobby quickly runs over to them and looks down at the dead demon. He looks back up at Dean, Jamie, and Sam, surprised and shocked.
"What the hell happened?"
"Dean just killed a demon." Jamie tells him. Sam turns to Dean.
"How'd you know?"
Dean, still breathing heavily, looks around on the ground and then turns to Sam who's still looking shocked. Jamie's eyes are wide. Dean has a look of worried on.
"He just knew." Jamie mutters.
"I just knew." Dena echoes. He turns back and looks down on the officer."I could see it's face. It's real face under that one."
Bobby who was looking down on the demon looks up at him by these words. Dean looks up at him and meets his gaze for a second.
The boys are put branches up over the police car, to hide it from plain sight and so that nobody can find it. Jamie walks up to them as they finish. Sam looks at Dean. "So what, now you're seeing demons?"
"I've seen all kinds of things lately but... nothing like this."
Jamie looks up. "Don't sound so shocked."
"Actually it's not all that crazy." Bobby says walking over to the siblings.
"How's it not that crazy?"
Bobby tilts his head. "Well you've got, just over five hours to go?"
Jamie shakes her head, not in the mood for stories. "You're piercing the veil, Dean."
"Yeah. You're glimpsing the B side."
"A little less new age-y please."
Jamie looks up. "You're almost hell's bitch. So, you can see hell's other bitches."
Dean looks first surprised and then his mock-face comes on. "Thank you."
Sam shrugs. "Well, actually it could come in pretty handy."
Jamie nods. "Yeah."
"Oh, well, I'm glad my doomed soul is good for something."
"Damn right it is. Lilith's probably got demons stached all over town. We can't let them sound the alarm. She knows we're here, we're dead before we're started." Bobby tells them.
Jamie turns wiry eyes towards her father-figure. "Thanks Bobby." She crosses her arms and sighs.
"Well, this is a terrific plan. I'm excited to be apart of it. Can we go, please?" Dean begins to walk away with that and the others follow. The car is as hidden as they could managed, with branches all over it.
"It's the little girl. Her face is awful." Sam, Jamie, Bobby, and Dean are standing by a window, looking over at the family. Sam has the binoculars. Bobby, and Jamie are in the middle with Dean on Jamie's other side. Sam lowers the binoculars.
"Alright then, lets go. We're wasting time." He walks past Bobby, Jamie, and Dean, behind them, and moves for the door. Dean grabs hold of him, stopping him from leaving.
"Wait!"
"For what? For it to kill the rest of them?"
"Yeah, and us too if we're not carefull. Look. See the real go-getter mailman on the clock at nine PM?" Jamie points in the direction Dean is talking about. Sam holds up the binoculars there is a mailman sorting mail at the back of his car. Jamie points again and Dean nods. "And Mr Rogers over there."
"Demons?" Bobby asks.
Jamie nods. "Yeah. Lilith's personal body guards." She glances back at Dean.
Sam looks through the binoculars again and sees an old man sitting in a chair in his home, smoking a pipe and reading a book, his chair facing the windows. "Ok, fine. We-we-we-we, we ninja pass those guys, sneak in."
Jamie turns to her twin. "Ninja? Sam…"
"Then what? Give a "columbian necktie" to a ten year old girl, come on!" Dean yells at him.
"Look, Dean, I know it's awful."
"You think?"
"This isn't just about saving you, Dean. This is about saving everybody."
"She's gotta be stopped, son."
Jamie looks at Dean. "We'll figure something out. I hope."
Sam tilts his head. "Psychics can hope?"
Jamie shoves his chest. "Shut up."
Dean who looks contemplative and taking this in, turns around and looks at Bobby and then out the window. "Oh, damn it."
"Come on, Bobby." Jamie moves away from Sam and Dead. "I just had a really good idea that might save our asses. I'll be right back."
Jamie leads Bobby down to where the waterpipes are. She takes out a rosary. Bobby looks at her and then smiles. He takes the rosary from her and holds over the pipes..
"Exorcizo te, creatura aquae. In nomine dei patris onmipotintes." They chant. Bobby drops the rosary into an opening of the water pipes and it's carried away by the stream. He turns to look at Jamie. She gives him a look and walks away.
Dean running through some trees and coming up by a fence, where Ruby suddenly appears and shoves him into the fence, holding him there. "I'd like my knife back, please. Or your neck snaps like a chickenbone."
"Dean!" Ruby turns to look at Jamie and Sam comes up behind her and holds up her knife to her throat.
"He doesn't have it. Take it easy." She backs away from Dean, releasing him from the fence. Sam and Jamie stand still next to Dean who turns around to face her.
"How the hell did you get out?"
"What you don't know about me could fill a book."
Dean suddenly reacts to her face, moving his head back just a bit with wider eyes. "Woah."
"What?" Ruby asks.
Dean looks to the side, not wanting to look at her anymore. He glances at her once or twice but that's it. "Nothing. I just- I couldn't see you before, but you're one ugly broad."
Ruby curls her lip and then glances at Sam. "Sam, give me the knife before you hurt yourself."
Jamie steps forward. "Not a chance in he..no chance."
Sam nods. "You'll get it when this is over."
"It's already over. I gave you a way to save Dean, you shot me down. Now it's too late. He's dead. And I'm not gonna let you die too."
"Try and stop me, and I'll kill you. Bitch."
"Hit me with your best shot, baby."
Deans been looking in the direction he was running towards. Jamie turns to him and they look at each other. Jamie winces softly. Dean turns around to Sam and Ruby. "Guys, guys! Hey. Have your little catfight later."
A father and son are standing outside on their porch looking at Dean, Jamie, Sam and Ruby. At the next house a man with a briefcase is standing, staring at them. Jamie reaches up and grabs the sides of her head.
Sam's eyes widen. "Oh sh…"
"So much for the element of surprise." Dean scoffs.
Jamie turns to them. "Boys, we got to book it. Now."
Sam nods. "Go. Go. Run. Run!" They open the fence and run, aiming for Lilith's house. As they do multiple demons run after them. Sam reaches the house first and gets down and starts picking the lock on the door. Ruby and Dean come up behind him, looking out on the lawn as more people are running after them. Jamie is last, whirling around and holding her hands out.
"What the hell is taking Bobby?" Dean asks.
Jamie shakes her head, knowing Bobby is safe. "Forget about Bobby, I can't hold off this many demons."
Sam is having problems picking the lock and more people are running for them.
"Sam…" Ruby glances at him.
"I'm trying!"
Suddenly when one demon reaches the lawn, the sprinklers turns on and she begins to flail, screaming, as the water burns her. Jamie sighs in relief. She and Bobby succeeded in turning the water into holy water and effectively making a barrier with the sprinkler system. Another demon is caught in the water and he screams and flails as well. Jamie looks relieved. Dean has a smile starting to show on his lips. Sam is still working on the lock and Dean begins to really smile at the barrier. Sam gets the door opened and he, Jamie, and Ruby go inside. Dean laughs at the demons and then Jamie reaches out and pulls on his shirt. He walks inside the house with her.
Inside Sam and Ruby are standing over a body with shocked faces. Jamie walks in and stops. She frowns. Dean is closing the door, not having seen it yet. He turns around and sees it, and his serious gameface is on again. "You think Lilith knows we're here?"
"Probably." Ruby says.
Jamie scoffs. "Probably? How about yes." They look around a bit and then walks into the living room. Sam is going first, holding the knife out as if it was a gun. Ruby is behind him, closely followed by Dean and lastly Jamie.
The door opens up behind them and the person inside goes for Dean, who hears the creak of the door and quickly turns around, putting up one hand and captures Mr. Fremont. Jamie puts her hand over his mouth, turning them around to Sam and Ruby. Dean makes "shyshing" sounds to make the man be quiet and calm down.
Jamie puts her finger to her lips. "Shh…Hi."
"We're here to help. Ok? My sister is gonna move her hand, and we're gonna talk nice and quiet, okay?" Dean whispers. Mr. Fremont nods his head yes and Dean nods to Jamie who slowly removes her hand.
Sam looks at him. "Sir, where is your daughter?"
"It's not... it's not her anymore."
"Where is she?"
"Upstairs. In her bedroom."
Jamie turns around. "Sam, Ruby." She nods over her shoulder.
"Okay, okay, okay. Listen to me. I want you to go downstairs to the basement. Put a line of salt at the door behind you. Do you understand me?" Dean whispers.
"Not without my wife."
"Yes, without your wife."
"No."
"Dean, we don't have time for this." Dean punches his lights out. Jamie is right; they don't have time to argue about all this. He picks him up and puts him over his shoulder and gives the others a look. He then starts walking.
Sam, Jamie, and Ruby walk upstairs, backs against the wall and as stealthy as possible. Sam is in the lead with the knife in front of him. When they get up they look around a bit and then Ruby walks to the door to their right, they share a look, Sam nods at her and then she goes in, closing the door behind her. Sam and Jamie starts slowly for the door to the left. Jamie leans in against the closed door, closing her eyes. After a beat she looks at Sam and he opens the door as quietly as possible. They quickly slip in.
Sam walks slowly into the room, knife out in front of him. Jamie follows quietly, holding unto Sam's shirt. They see Lilith's bed. It has thin drapes around it and through them Mrs. Fremont and Lilith are lying on the bed, asleep. Sam slowly makes his way around it while keeping his eyes glued to them. Jamie makes her way around on the other side, drawing her gun, despite knowing it won't work on Lilith. As Sam rounds the corner of the bed he shifts the knife in his hand so it's now in a stabbing position. As quietly and slowly as possible, he and Jamie remove the drapes and they hear Mrs. Fremont breathing heavily, scared, as the twins come into view. Lilith is still nuzzled into her shoulder, apparently asleep.
"Do it!" Mrs. Fremont says quietly. Sam slowly raises the knife, looking down on the child Lilith has possessed. She stirs a little.
Jamie's eyes widen. "Sam…"
"Do it."
Sam is looking at Lilith, trying to collect himself to stab a child. Jamie swallows hard. She looks at Sam and slowly holds her hand out, palm up.
"Do it! "
Lilith moves a little, apparently starting to wake up. Mrs. Fremont gets more and more afraid and panicked and Sam is staring at Lilith, pulling himself to the point of stabbing her.
"Do it! Do it!"
"Sam!"
Lilith wakes up, and starts to rise on the bed, eyes hardly opened.
"Hurry!"
"Now Sammy, now!"
Lilith screams when she opens her eyes and sees Sam who lunges for her. At the last moment he's stopped by Dean who grabs hold of his arm. "It's not her!"
"What?" Jamie looks down at the girl. Her eyes widen and she lowers her gun, putting it away. The girl is breathing fast and heavily from what was just about to happen. Ruby is now standing behind Sam, Jamie, and Dean.
"It's not in the girl anymore." Dean says.
The Fremont girls begins to cry. "Mommy! Mommy!"
"Mommy's here. Mommy's here. It's ok." The girl cries. Jamie breaths heavily, looking at Sam and Dean. Dean looks defeated. Sam looks spooked.
They all come down the stairs, Mrs. Fremont, Jamie, and Dean first. "Come on, we have to hurry." Jamie tells them.
"Alright, no matter what you hear. You, your husband and your daughter stay in the basement." Dean adds. She goes through the basement door and Dean and Jamie follow. They go down into the basement and Jamie hands Dean a canister of salt. They get out of the doorway and pour the salt around the door before handing it to Mrs. Fremont.
"Come on, Jamie." Dean grabs ahold of Jamie's arm and they head back up the stairs. They can hear Ruby and Sam talking.
"What do you mean?" Ruby asks.
"To save Dean." Dean and Jamie come up behind Sam. "What do you need me to do?"
Dean grabs him from behind, trying to turn him. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Sam pulls loose from Dean. "Just shut up for a second. Ruby!"
"You had your chance. You can't just flip a switch. We needed time."
"Well, there's gotta be something. There's gotta be some way, whatever it is, I'll do it."
"Sam!" Jamie yells.
Dean comes up behind him again, grabbing him.
"Don't Dean! I'm not gonna let you go to hell!"
"Yes, you are!"
"No!" Jamie screams. They look all at each other for a beat.
"Yes, you are." Dean says, calmer this time. Sam and Jamie just stare at him, breathing. "I'm sorry. I mean this is all my fault, I know that. But what you're doing, it's not gonna save me. It's only gonna kill you." Sam looks away for a second, tears building in his eyes. Jamie closes her eyes, looking away.
"Then, what am I supposed to do?" Sam asks.
"What are we suppose to do?" Jamie echoes.
Dean looks at them for a second, thoughtful. "Keep fighting. Sam, take care of my wheels. Jamie, stay strong and vigilant. Remember what dad taught you... ok?" Sam nods, holding his tears back. Jamie can't hold it in anymore and wraps her arms around Dean's neck. "And remember what I taught you. Both of you."
As tears build in Dean's eyes they hear the grandfather clock tick and then begin to strike midnight. Jamie sobs into Dean's shoulder. Dean looks over at the clock and then looks over at Sam, who's also watching the grandfather clock. He turns his head, tears spilling down his cheeks, and looks at Dean. Dean gives him a little smile as he tries to keep himself calm and hold back his tears. He wraps his arms around Jamie and then pushes her back towards Sam.
"I'm sorry, Dean. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy." Ruby tells him, somberly.
Jamie's eyes widen in horror. "Dean…" Dean's face falls as he turns around to where he hears the hellhounds howling. Jamie can hear them too. Sam looks at his siblings and then looks in the same direction understanding that something's up. Dean and Jamie can both hear the growling hellhound again.
"Hellhound." Dean says, trying to stay calm.
"Where?" Sam swallows.
Jamie nods. "There."
Ruby's face falls as she sees it. As it begins to move, Dean bolts out of the room, followed by the others, and the hellhound quickly behind them. Jamie raises her hands, blowing the doors to another room open. They run into the room and close the doors fast in the face of the hellhound.
Dean takes out the bag with goofer dust as Sam and Ruby are standing against the doors, holding the shut while the hellhound is pounding to get in. Jamie has her hands up trying to telekinetically hold the doors closed. Dean runs over and throws himself down at the floor by the door and frantically starts pouring out the dust. The pounding suddenly stops, Jamie drops her hands, for a second they all stand and sit still, then Dean bolts for the window and pours out the dust on the windowsill.
Jamie looks at the door. "Trapped." She wipes tears off her face and takes a shaky breath. Dean looks over at her.
Rubby turns to Sam. "Give me the knife, maybe I can fight it off."
Sam looks at her, a bit confused. "What?"
"Come on! That dust won't last forever."
Dean turns around and looks at them from behind Sam. Jamie turns and looks at them from behind Ruby. After a few seconds Sam takes out the knife, about to hand it to Ruby.
"Wait!" Dean holds his hand out.
Jamie does the same. "Sam, no."
Sam turns around to Dean, looking at him. Jamie walks forward.
"You wanna die?" Ruby asks.
"The knife, Dean, the knife!" Jamie makes a gesture for it with her telekinesis.
"Sam, that's not Ruby. It's not Ruby!" Dean says at the same time.
Sam turns back to Ruby and goes to stab her, but Ruby uses telekinesis to fling him hard up against the wall, pinning him. He drops the knife and it falls to the floor. Jamie goes for it. Ruby flings her hard against the opposite wall. She then hits Dean and flings him on top of the table, pinning him. Dean grunts as he holds up his head so he can look at Ruby. Sam looks from Dean to Jamie to Ruby.
"You bitch!" Jamie struggles but cannot move.
"Took you long enough Jamie."
"How long you been in her?" Dean asks.
Ruby's entire facial expression changes and becomes childlike. Lilith has taken over the body Ruby possessed. "Not long." She looks down on her body as she speaks. "But I like it. It's all grown up and pretty." She looks up at Dean again, her eyes turning white.
"And where's Ruby?" Sam asks, struggling against the wall. Lilith's eyes turns back to normal.
"She was a very bad girl, so I sent her far, far away." She tilts her head step by step and we hear her neck crunch with each tilting motion.
Jamie looks up. "You know, I should have seen it before... but you all give me the same damn headache." Lilith chuckles and walks over to Jamie. "You're the one who killed AJ."
Lilith smiles. "Yes." She stands in front of Jamie.
Jamie stares at her with a look of anger and pain. Her muscles contract as she tries to fight Lilith's hold. "Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica!"
Lilith laughs. "You really think you can exorcise me, Jamie?" She waves her hand and Jamie screams.
"Jamie!" Dean yells.
"No! No! No!" Jamie cries.
Sam tries to look at his sister. "Jamie! Dean, what did she do to her? What did she do?"
Dean struggles to look at Jamie. Jamie's eyes are white. "She blinded her."
"I'm keeping her from turning her pesky little tricks." Lilith laughs again.
"I can still see you, bitch. I have eyes that are not mine." Jamie says, raising her head. She cannot physically see, but her psychic ability kicks in, allowing her to see with her mind what is going on. After a beat Lilith snaps her head to Sam, who looks over at her. She starts walking slowly towards him.
"Hello Sam. I've wanted to meet you for a very long time." She grabs hold of his chin, forcing him to face her. Against his will she gives him a kiss and it sizzles from their lips meeting. "Your lips are soft."
Sam moves his head up and to the side, trying to get loose from her hand. "Right, so you have me. Let my brother and sister go." He looks down on her.
"Silly goose. You wanna bargain, you have to have something that I want. You don't. I have you. I have Dean. I have the one who got away."
Jamie's head snaps up. "How dare you call me that!"
Dean tries to raise his head. "So, is this your big plan, huh? Drag me to hell. Kill Sam and Jamie. And then what? Become queen bitch?"
"I don't have to answer to puppy chow."
Dean is clearly in pain on the table, trying to hold himself up against her restraint. Lilith suddenly moves from Sam, as she looks at Dean, and walks over to the door while Dean follows her with his eyes.
In Jamie's mind she sees Lilith going for the door. "No! Dean!"
Dean glances at Jamie. Lilith grabs hold of the doorhandle and while looking at Dean exclaims: "Sick 'em, boy."
Sam snaps his head to Dean at this and Dean looks over at him and then at the door. Jamie is struggling as hard as possible, but she cannot move or see to stop the door from opening. Lilith opens the door and the goofer dust blows away as the hellhound gets him. Lilith just laughs and smiles. The hellhound grabs Dean by his legs and pulls him down as he screams. It begins to rip him as Sam stands against the wall, helpless, scared and panicked. Jamie stands against the opposite wall. She's crying and struggling to get free to no avail.
"No! Stop!" Sam yells.
Lilith just looks over at Sam and Jamie and then down at Dean who's struggling on the floor. The hound has already slashed his right leg and is now attacking his chest as he screams in pain. He turns over to his stomach.
"NO! Please, no. Please."
"STOP IT!" Sam and Jamie beg.
Lilith just watches with a little smile on her face. The hound slashes Dean on his back and his shoulder.
"Dean! Oh god." Jamie sobs.
"No!" Sam cries.
Dean flips over and it slashes him over his chest, blood gushing out. Sam just watches in horror. Jamie cries.
"No."
"No. Stop it."
Dean is fighting his last breathes now.
"STOP IT!" Sam screams.
The blood pours out of Dean's chest and he's not screaming anymore, but still not dead.
"Dean!" Jamie yells.
"NO!"
Lilith smiles at Sam. "Yes." She holds out her hand and suddenly white light erupts from it. As it builds up Jamie stops crying. She opens her eyes, which are still white but she curls her hands into fists. Sam turns his head, eyes closed. Suddenly her white light is retracted, her eyes are still white but slowly turns back to normal, and she looks confused and shocked. Jamie drops down to the floor. She blinks and her eyes are back to normal. Sam is on the floor, huddled in a corner next to a cabinet, holding his hands up infront of his face. When he notices nothing happened and the light is gone he slowly takes down his hands, looks up at her and rises up to a standing position. He glances across the room to Jamie. Jamie gets up. Lilith looks at the floor, afraid. She holds out her hands and looks at him and then to Jamie. "Back." Jamie waves her hand and Lilith's arm falls to her side. Sam takes a breath and starts walking towards her. "I said, back."
Jamie looks down at the floor and sees Ruby's knife. She flicks her finger and it flies into her hand. Sam, with a determined look on his face walks over to his sister. Lilith looks very afraid of them now, as they just look determined and hateful.
"I don't think so." Sam says, calmly.
Jamie's eyes are full of hatred, anger, and sadness. "I'll see you in hell, bitch."
Sam grabs unto Lilith. Jamie pulls back her hand, and motions to stab her but suddenly Lilith exits Ruby's body. The black smoke goes out of her body as she screams, and Ruby's body collapses. Sam lets go of her and she crumbles to the floor. Jamie's hand drops to her side. Dean isn't moving, his eyes opened. He's dead. Sam and Jamie look down on him breathing heavily. With tears building up quickly Sam and Jamie slowly walk over to Dean. Jamie starts crying as she drops to the floor beside Dean's body. Sam begins to cry as he bends down next to him. He picks up Dean, holding his head close to him. Jamie buries her face in Dean's shoulder.
"God, no!" Jamie screams.
"No... No.. Dean..." Sam sobs.
They cry and mourn their brother.
"Dean..." Jamie says softly. She reaches up and closes Dean's eyes.
Through Dean's eyes everything appears green and cloudy. There are chains everywhere, stretched from place to place that he cannot clearly see. He hears rumbles that sound like thunder, and sees flashes like lightening, and screams. Hooks protrude from his arms, shoulders, and legs. His skin is covered with blood and sweat. His mouth fills with blood as he screams again "Help! No! Somebody help me!" He is beyond terrified, the pain is so intense, so ungodly, and all he think about are his siblings somewhere unknown to him. "Jamie!" He yells for his sister, hoping beyond hope that somehow her psychic abilities can perforate even the mouth of hell itself. Everything is going black, and then he screams the one name that means more to him then life itself. "SAAAAAAAM!"
