Finale! Omg! I actually can't believe I got this far! Still planning to continue this story for the time being, although in a couple months I have my exams to get into uni so I may not be able to update as often. Hope u enjoy!

The scene opens up to Sam laid out on a bed. Dean is watching him, but it's obvious Sam is dead.

'So did Chuck bring you back from the dead as well?' Mary asked, tears in her eyes.

Bobby walks in, telling Dean he needs to eat. Bobby also suggests it's time they bury Sam. Dean refuses.

John frowned. Why didn't Dean want to bury Sam? A thought occurred to him and he suddenly felt cold.

'You're not going to do anything stupid are you?' John asked.

'Mabye. It happened though so there's nothing you can do to change it if I did.' Dean replied, with a smirk that was slightly forced. This confirmed John's suspicions.

When Bobby asks Dean to go with him because something "End-of-the-world big is going down", Dean refuses, saying "Then let it end!".

Sam looked at Dean, very surprised. He knew what had happened but seeing it firsthand shocked him.

Bobby says he doesn't mean it, and that he thinks he shouldn't be left alone. Dean tells Bobby to leave – which he does.

'I'm sorry for having a go at you.' Dean said, looking at Bobby.

'That's alright.' Bobby said, with a smile.

Jake has escaped Cold Oak and is camping out. The yellow-eyed demon appears to him and says "Congratulations, Jake, last man standing. The American Idol". Jake wants to know what the demon wants him for and threatens to kill him. The demon thinks this is funny and threatens Jake's family. Jake has no choice but to say he'll do the demon's bidding.

'So he was only doing it to protect his family.' Sam said, feeling guilty.

Dean sits alone, looking at Sam's body. "You know, when we were little, you couldn't have been more than 5. You had just started asking questions. 'How come we didn't have a mom?', 'Why do we always have to move around?', 'Where did Dad go?' when he'd take off for days at a time. I remember I begged you, 'quit asking, Sammy. You don't want to know.' I just wanted you to be a kid. Just for a little while longer. I always tried to protect you. Keep you safe. Dad didn't even have to tell me. It's just always been my responsibility, you know?'

'It's not you're responsibility.' Sam said, with a smile.

'I know.' Dean said, his smile now very forced. He was becoming more and more uncomfortable.

'It's like I had one job. I had one job, and I screwed it up. I blew it, and for that, I'm sorry. I guess that's what I do. I let down the people I love. You know, I let Dad down, and now I guess, I'm just supposed to let you down, too.'

'What are you talking about? You never let me down.' John said.

'How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? What am I supposed to do? Sammy? What am I supposed to do? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!"'

There was silence as they took in the scene. Mary, John and Bobby had tears in their eyes.

'Don't do anything stupid.' Mary muttered, knowing it wouldn't make a difference.

Dean drives like a maniac to the nearest crossroads.

Jo gasped, finally putting things together. She looked at Dean, tears beginning to form in her eyes.

Dean puts a box with his picture and other items at the center of the intersection, wanting to summon the Crossroads Demon. Eventually, she appears. Dean tells her he wants to make a deal for Sam's life. The demon is sarcastic; she knows he's hurting, and she's enjoying it.

'Why are demons always so sarcastic. It's so annoying.' John commented, attempting to lighten the mood.

'Sarcasm is annoying so it's in their programming as demons to torment people as much as possible.' Cas informed them.

Dean offers his soul for Sam back and ten years of life. The demon says no way. He offers 9 then 8 years of life, but the demon says Sam back and just one year to live.

'Please tell me you didn't. That's a completely unfair deal.' John commented.

'Like yours was a fair deal. You didn't get any time.' Dean replied, sarcastically.

For his brother, Dean has no choice but to accept. The demon makes a clause, though, saying if Dean tries to ever get out of the deal Sam will die again. Dean kisses the demon, sealing the pact.

'Gross.' Jo commented. Dean looked at her and rolled his eyes.

Sam wakes up and he's confused. He goes to the nearest mirror and tries to look at his back where he was stabbed.

'I knew something was wrong.' Sam said, woth a sigh.

Dean walks in and is relieved to see his brother back among the living. He can't help but give Sam a hug.

Despite what had happened, Mary couldn't help but smile.

Sam asks what happened, and Dean lies saying Sam was stabbed in the back but Bobby patched him up.

'Can't believe I believed that.' Sam said, with a sigh.

'I know I'm good but I'm not that good.' Bobby said, with a smile.

Dean asks who the kid was anyway and Sam says "his name's Jake". Sam asks if Dean got Jake, but Dean says no, he got away. Sam and Dean get something to eat, and Sam tells his brother everything that happened in Cold Oak, and that the demon only wants one special kid. He can't understand why he and Jake are both still alive as that's two kids. Dean brushes this aside and says Sam was left for dead.

'Left for dead. Sure.' Sam said, sarcastically.

'You can't say that it's a bad lie if you believed it.' Dean replied. Sam sighed.

Sam has to accept this, but says they have to figure out what the demon wanted the special kid for, and stop him. Dean wants Sam to rest first, but Sam refuses and says they should call the Roadhouse.

Jo sighed and looked away.

'I'm sorry. It was my fault for giving that stuff to Ash. They would never have targeted him if it wasn't for that.' Dean said, looking guilty.

Dean has to tell him the roadhouse has burned down because of something Ash found out and that Bobby is trying to find out just what that something was. Sam insists they go to Bobby's despite Dean's protests that he needs to take care of himself a little more.

'Not like you'd just come back from the dead or anything.' Dean commented, sarcastically.

'Well someone decided not to share that information.' Sam shot back, with a grin.

Bobby is shocked when he opens the door to see Sam alive. He doesn't say anything, but Sam notices the strange reaction.

'Your reaction was priceless.' Dean said, with a grin.

'Shut up ya idgit.' Bobby replied, 'I bet it confused you a lot.'

'Sure did. That was part of what made me realise what had happened.' Sam replied.

The brothers go inside and Bobby shows them what he's found. He doesn't know what it means, but demonic omens have skyrocketed in a certain area, all except for one place in the center. He shows them on a map. One place in Southern Wyoming is totally clean, as if demons are surrounding it, but can't get in. Bobby asks Sam to take a look for clues to why while he and Dean go outside and get more research books.

'Sure. To get more research books.' Sam said, with a smile.

Bobby confronts Dean about what he's done for Sam. Bobby is furious, but it's obvious it's because he thinks a lot of the young hunter, seeing him like he was his own son. Dean confesses that he made a deal, but asks why it matters (because he shouldn't have been alive after the crash). After a short exchange, Dean asks Bobby not to tell Sam.

'Thanks a lot Bobby.' Sam said, shaking his head.

'I would have made him tell you eventually.' Bobby replied, with a small smile.

Then the pair are distracted by a noise in the yard. They sneak up to find Ellen.

'Thank god she was still alive.' Bobby commented.

Bobby asks Ellen to drink some holy water to prove she's not a demon or possessed. She knocks back the water then asks for whiskey. Dean asks what happened at the roadhouse and Ellen explains she had to go out for supplies. Ash called her and told her to look in the safe, but by the time she got back the place was on fire and everyone was dead.

Jo sighed and looked away.

Ellen did get to the safe, though, as it was in the basement. Inside the safe was another map of Wyoming.

'Is that what Ash found out?' John said, leaning forward in anticipation. Bobby nodded.

Bobby figures out that marks on the map are all abandoned frontier churches all built by Sam Colt. Private railway lines connect each church and when the lines are drawn out they make a huge, iron Devil's Trap.

'How did no one notice that?' John queried.

'To be fair. It's only obvious once you know it's there.' Bobby replied.

In the middle of the Devil's Trap is an old cowboy cemetery. Sam wonders what Sam Colt was trying to protect there and Dean suggests Colt was maybe actually trying to keep something asks Bobby if the demons could get inside the trap and Bobby says no full blood demon could. It's then Sam realizes what the demon wanted the gifted kid for – to get inside the Devil's Trap in Wyoming.

'That can't be it. Why would he go to so much trouble?' John questioned.

'I wish one of us had thought of that at the time.' Dean commented.

Jake drives up to the edge of the railroad and is met by the demon. The demon tells Jake 15 miles in is a cemetery, and a crypt. Jake has to open the crypt because he can't go in there yet himself. Jake gets confrontational and says no, but the demon gives him The Colt and even explains it's the only gun that can kill him.

'What the hell? That's so stupid. Why would he do that?' Mary questioned.

Jake points the gun at the demon, but the demon laughs and offers Jake and his family "money and honey" forever. He offers a better world, where Jake will be royalty. It's too tempting and Jake caves in.

'I suppose it's tempting.' Mary said, her head to one side.

'Not if it meant letting that thing live.' John replied, angrily.

Jake walks in among the graves towards the crypt. Dean, Sam, Ellen and Bobby appear from hiding places and pull guns on him. Jake looks at Sam shocked, saying Sam was dead, he cut through his spinal cord.

'That's when things finally clicked and I realised what had happened.' Sam commented.

'Figured.' Dean replied.

Sam is obviously surprised and unnerved. Jake laughs and makes Ellen put her own gun to her temple just by suggesting it.

'How is he able to do that? I swear his thing was just that he was strong.' John questioned.

'Turns out that once you give in to using your powers they suddenly grow stronger.' Sam informed them.

His pupils briefly flash yellow as he does this. He tells the others that once you give into the abilities there are lots of Jedi mind tricks they can do. He says they all should put their guns down and then he turns, placing the Colt in a strange rotating lock on the crypt. Sam gets his gun back and repeatedly shoots Jake, almost cold-heartedly.

Sam looked away guiltily, not wanting to see the cold look on his face.

Behind them the lock is opening, and Bobby explains it's a Hellgate. Dean tugs the Colt from the spinning lock and they take cover. The iron train lines are broken by the force and the demons can finally enter and leave the cemetery. Bobby, Ellen and Sam try to close the gate but Dean spots the yellow-eyed demon and tries to shoot him.

'You're such an idiot. Why did you go by yourself?' Jo commented.

'Didn't want anyone else getting hurt.' Dean replied.

'That doesn't make sense. If the demon killed you then he would have just gone on hurting more people.' Jo replied.

'Whatever.' Dean retorted.

The demon takes the gun away using his powers and it flies into his hand. He then tosses Dean into a headstone and pins him there. Sam sees what's happening and runs for his brother, but the demon pins him to a tree.

John looked at Dean, worriedly.

The demon proceeds to thank Dean for bringing Sam back, because Sam was his favorite. He explains that demons can't resurrect someone unless a deal was made - "I know. Red tape. It'll make you nuts". He also warns Dean that the deal may not have been as good as it seemed; he mentions how cold-blooded Sam was when he shot Jake.

'He was just messing with me. He didn't mean it.' Dean said, looking at Sam's guilty face.

'I know.' Sam said, looking away.

The demon mocks Dean one more time, then draws the Colt to shoot him. Suddenly, John's spirit appears from behind and grabs the demon from his body.

'I don't remember that.' John said, looking confused but glad that he helped in some way.

The demon quickly overpowers John and returns to his body only to find Dean has gotten his hands on the Colt. Dean shoots the stunned demon in the heart, finally killing him and avenging his mother and father.

'You actually did it.' John said with a smile.

'You make it sound like you didn't expect us to do it.' Dean queried with a frown.

The demon drops to the floor and behind them Bobby and Ellen finally manage to close the devil's gate. John's spirit walks forward and places a hand on Dean's shoulder. He also nods to Sam with tears in his eyes, but a smile on his face, and then he vanishes in a bright light.

John smiled at the fact that he managed to help them, even from beyond the grave.

The brothers look over the demon's body. Sam asks Dean if he thinks their dad really climbed out of Hell, and Dean says the door was open, and he was stubborn enough. Sam says he can't believe it's over, he doesn't know what to say. Dean says that he does and kneels, addressing the demon's corpse; "That was for our mom, you son of a bitch".

'That's just adorable.' Mary said, with a smile.

Sam confronts Dean about what really happened, mentioning how Jake looked like he had seen a ghost when he saw Sam. He asks if he died and Dean made a deal. Eventually, Dean's silence is as good as a confession.

'You should have told me earlier' Sam said, looking upset.

'I know but...it's over now.' Dean said, with a grim smile.

Sam tells Dean he shouldn't have, but Dean insists he had to; it's his job. Sam says his own job is to protect Dean too. Dean smiles and offers a quiet response. Bobby and Ellen walk up and Ellen says lots of demons escaped through the gate. Sam says it's an army. Bobby nods, saying he hopes the boys are ready, because the war has just begun. Dean tosses in the Colt and says, "We got work to do".

'You sure do.' John commented.
