"The Demon in Her Dreams"
Chapter 2
The Hunters Gathering
Sam and Dean pull up at Clarice's, and Charlie charges out of the door to meet them, shushing them the moment they get out of the car.
"Why are we being shushed?" Dean exclaimed!
Charlie proceeds to explain how she has gotten Clarice to fall asleep and hopefully they can kill the Demon, and she will never know they were there.
"She is a two-drink minimum kinda girl. After the second beer she was out like a light. I helped her to bed and told her that I would stay the night."
"Grand Plan!" Dean chopped.
"Yeah…what could possibly go wrong?" Sam added.
As the three walked into the house they hear screeching sounds coming from the bedroom. Sam and Dean both take off down the hall and nearly knock each other over because the hallway is so small.
"Really can you shove me just a little more?" Sam yelps.
"Can't you move your ass a little quicker!?" Dean replies.
"SSSHHHHHHH!" Charlie snarls.
"OH, GREAT the SSSSHHHHHushing again!" Dean snaps.
"Can we just get in there without all of this hype and help Clarice… THAT is why we are here." Sam reminded them .
When the three enter the room, Clarice is laying with her head turned to the far-right side with her eyes wide open and they are Black as onyx.
"Shit!" Sam says.
Dean turns to look at Sam and Charlie says,
"Demon possession alright, but something is off. Demons don't usually try to take possession only when someone is asleep. This is some Freddy Kruegar Demon type shit, this Demon is feeding off ALL of Clarice's energy."
"Maybe we should call Rowena for some help?" Charlie throws out . Dean replies,
"Of course, you would like to call Rowena, You …"
Sam interrupts Dean,
"Hey… cut it out with the girl power stuff…. we are all on the same team here. Charlie is right, we could use Rowena's help to try to get into the dream Clarice is having if we want any chance of pulling this Demon from her dream."
Charlie sticks her tongue out at Dean behind Sam's back, shaking her head from side to side.
"Fine… call Rowena." Dean huffs.
Charlie was already on the phone before Dean could finish his statement.
"Hey Ro, it's me Char,"
Sam and Dean are both rolling their eyes.
"We can really use your help with a Demon exorcism... but it gets a little complicated. I can fill you in when you get here. It's an old friend of mine Clarice…." Charlie pauses then says "Yes, I said an old friend of mine….would you just please come I will explain everything."
Charlie hangs up the phone and tells Sam and Dean that Rowena is willing to help.
As Clarice's dream progresses, she is more at risk for not waking. The screeching and screaming continues, and her body begins to shake and toss around in the bed. At that moment, Rowena appears and begins to question Charlie about Clarice.
"SO, just who is this little damsel in distress that we have here Charlie?" Rowena snips as she flits around the bed veering at Clarice.
"We don't really have time for that now Ro, she needs our help now, or she may not wake!" Charlie explained.
Rowena smirks at the comment and then replies,
"Very well then… get me up to speed on this Sleep Demon."
Charlie briefs Rowena on the Demon in Clarice's dream.
"Okay boys here is what we are going to do. I will cast a spell to keep sleeping beauty asleep and send one of you...(Rowena stares at Dean) into the dream with this amulet. You must put the amulet around the neck of the Demon so I can cast him out of her dream. Then... and only then…can you take out the Demon. This candle flame will light when the amulet is around the Demon's neck. This will be my signal to cast the Demon out. Again, make no mistake, you may not kill the Demon while in her dream or the little missy won't live to see another day. Got it?"
Everyone agreed and understood their part. Sam, Charlie, and Rowena stood in a circle holding hands, and Rowena chanted the spell to cast Dean into the dream, while also sending some of their energy to Clarice.
