The Demon in Her Dreams

Chapter 3

The Demons Demise

Dean makes the transition into Clarice's dream from the spell that Rowena cast. He is standing about six feet behind the Demon. Dean is witnessing the Demon hovering over Clarice as she sleeps. With each touch from the Demon, Dean can see the energy flow out of Clarice's body into the Demon. The Demon becomes illuminated as he gains more of her energy.

"Well," Dean thinks to himself , "game on!"

" Hey," Dean lets out a loud whistle. "Over here, I have a cute little necklace for ya.!"

The Demon quickly releases Clarice and turns around. Dean grimaced and flinched when he saw the Demons face. It's eyes where solid black, and it had teeth of a vampire, and the claws of a werewolf.

"Must have been some party your parents went to!" Dean taunted the Demon.

The energy that Rowena sent for Clarice only made more energy available for the Demon to steal. He leaned over Clarice, siphoning the energy from her, and then started toward Dean. Dean pulled the amulet out and prepared to get it around the Demon's neck.

Meanwhile, Charlie looked at Clarice,

"Something is wrong…you just sent her more energy and she looks worse than she did before… what is happening Ro?"

"Well how should I know dear?...she should have perked up." Rowena said nonchalantly.

"The Demon must have used it. Great we just made the Demon stronger instead of Clarice!" Sam exclaimed.

"Dean is going to have trouble trying to get the amulet around the Demons neck if he gets any stronger. Sam, you need to be ready with the Colt the second the flame lights, ready to fire as soon as I pull him from the dream." Rowena explains.

"Right…the Colt, um… I thought I had it in the bag, I don't see it." Sam replies.

"What do you mean you don't SEE IT…how can you lose the Colt?" Charlie snaps.

"OH MAN, Dean…He took the Colt with him." Sam mutters.

"Why would he do that?...he knows that if he kills the Demon in her dream she will die!" Charlie says, almost in tears.

"Well Char, he was probably thinking things may get out of hand…and you know a hunter never goes to a fight unarmed, don't worry your pretty little head about it, Dean will get the Demon without having to take him out in her dream…(let's hope)." Rowena said under her breath.

As the Demon approached Dean, he jumps towards him and tries to get the amulet around his neck. The Demon slashes Deans arm in midair, knocking him to the ground. He is losing blood fast, but he jumps to his feet and springs toward the Demon again. This time, the Demon grabbed hold of him, and was trying to bite his neck. Dean reached around the back of the Demon's head and was able to slip the amulet around his neck.

"Time to take a trip, the dream is over for you buddy." Dean said smiling in the Demon's face.

"LOOK…. THE FLAME…IT'S LIT!" Charlie screams!

"Get ready everyone it's time." Rowena said calmly.

"Sam, remember, you need to get the Colt from Dean the second He and the demon appear." Rowena reminded him.

"Got it, should not be a problem." Sam said, while looking up at the ceiling rolling his eyes.

As Charlie sat at Clarice's side, she reassured her that everything was going to be okay.

"Her skin is so cold… she needs more energy Ro!" Said Clarice.

"One thing at a time please Char, you know I hate it when you rush me." Rowena replied.

Rowena began to cast the spell to bring the Demon, and Dean from Clarice's dream.

As Rowena said the last word of the spell, Dean fell to the floor at Rowena's feet, and the Demon followed right after him landing near Charlie.

"Dean I know you took the Colt …I can't believe you took it, but that's beside the point. Give it to me, because from the looks of it you are in no condition to help out here." Sam chopped.

"I am laying here bleeding and your worried about why I took the Colt?... Really?" Dean replied.

"REALLY!" Sam Snapped.

While Sam and Dean bickered, the Demon stood up and started to go after Sam, who by the way, still hadn't gotten the Colt from Dean.

"WELL, my part in this sure didn't go as planned." Sam mumbled.

"Watch it Sam!... he is right behind you!" Dean shouted.

The Demon reached out and grabbed Sam around the throat pulling him in. The Demon's fangs dug into Sam's neck. Sam pried the Demon off of him and flipped him to the floor. Sam placed his hand on his neck and realized that he had a pretty bad vamp bite.

"Ro…we are losing her… please send her some of my energy NOW!" Charlie yelled.

"Alright, alright, then… I need to heal Dean, and then…fix Sam's vamp bite, good thing you called for my help Aye?" Rowena replied.

Rowena quickly cast a spell to send Charlie's energy to Clarice. Clarice's color began to return, but Charlie hit the floor, lethargic.

"Oh dear, maybe a little too much there." Rowena said, as she helped Charlie up, and restored her energy as well. Then, she quickly turned to Sam and Dean casting a healing spell on both of them at the same time.

"Tighten up people! It is time to get the Demon please, before I have to bring all of you back from the dead!" Rowena shouted.

Dean grabbed the Colt from his pocket, aimed, and shot the Demon. The room filled with black fog as the Demon was vanquished. Clarice was still asleep, and the four of them stood there staring at each other. Dean broke the silence,

"WELL, that went well." he said.

"Went well? If you wouldn't have taken the Colt into the dream, I would not have been frenched on the neck by the Vamp/Werewolf Demon!" Sam exclaimed. Charlie jumped into the conversation,

"You both need to stop it. We accomplished what we needed to, no use to fight about it now. And look she is doing better now. Her breathing is returning to normal and she is getting warmth back to her skin."

Dean and Sam looked at each other and put their heads down nodding as they agreed with Charlie.

"Okay, unless you plan on having an introduction party, we better get out of here before she wakes up." Sam said.

"Right, and I need a burger" Dean said.

Sam and Charlie look at Dean and shaking their heads.

"I would not mind staying and meeting Miss Clarice." Rowena replied with a smirk on her face.

"RO, we will talk about this later, please all of you go!" Charlie demanded.

Charlie heard the door close as they all left, just as Clarice began to wake.

"Good morning Clarice how are you feeling?" Charlie asked.

"I am a little tired. Charlie I can't believe this, but it finally happened!" Clarice exclaimed.

"What happened?" Charlie asked.

"This is the first time that the Demon is gone." Stated Clarice.

"What do you mean he is gone?" asked Charlie.

"My dreams are usually so bad, and the Demon always gets to me…but not this time…this time I had a hero in my dream. He was SOOO hot Charlie." Clarice paused and stared at the ceiling for a second smiling. Charlie rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Clarice…are you going to finish telling me?" Charlie said.

"OH...Yes, um…. So... this SUPER hot guy shows up in my dream, and wrestles with the Demon… then I guess he must have taken him, because they both disappeared. All I know is I feel so much better now. Your coming over must have really made a difference. Thank you, Charlie." Clarice hugged Charlie. After a second, they looked into each other's eyes and Clarice leaned over and tried to kiss Charlie.

"I can't do this Clarice. I have someone in my life that means the world to me."

"Oh, do I know her?" Clarice asks playfully.

"No, I don't think you do." Charlie responds.

"Well, she must be something really special!" Clarice adds.

"Oh, you could say that again!" Charlie says and chuckles a little.

"Well I better get going I need to get some rest, and so do you." Charlie says as she gets up heading for the door.

"Thanks for coming friend." Clarice says.
"Anytime, that is what friends do for friends." Charlie explained.

Charlie walks out of the door and gets into her car. She is so exhausted she can't wait to get home and get into bed. She thinks to herself,

"What a long night, but mission accomplished…all in a days (or nights) hunting."

Before long Charlie arrives home. She walks into her house and collapses on the bed, falling fast asleep. After a few hours pass, Charlie wakes and thinks she hears the door open, but she is so tired that she falls quickly back to sleep. A little while later, Rowena walks into the bedroom sits next to Charlie and whispers, Char I am home. Charlie wakes up to a gentle kiss from her love. "Are you coming to bed Ro?" Charlie asked.

"Yes, in a minute dear, go back to sleep you need to replenish your energy." Rowena says stroking Charlie's hair.
