Part 5
Krissy, Jack and Michael finally exited the forest of devine punishment. Michael commented "It shouldn't be too much longer before we are close enough for me to get us to Crowley"
Krissy stated "Awesome, I'm sick of smelling sulfur."
Michael questioned "How are you feeling? The power running through you doesn't seem to be affecting your body."
Krissy sighed and said "It feels weird. Not bad or painful, just weird. Probably because I'm not used to it. I'm more concerned about why I've got this power and what I'm supposed to go up against"
Jack commented "Whatever it is, you won't be alone"
Krissy smiled and said "Thank you" she then added "My no dying rule still stands though"
Jack chuckled and stated "Yes Ma'am"
They then heard a thud as a grappling hook landed nearby. Krissy yelled "Damn it!" They started running before Krissy asked "How many of these assholes are there?"
Michael replied "I believe there were twelve."
Jack pointed to a cave and said "In there, come on."
They ran into the cave and out of sight while one of Virgil's warriors stood at the edge of the forest and looked for them.
The alpha wolf woman walked over to the liquor cabinet in a large dining room. One of the other wolf women approached as she wiped blood away from her mouth. She said "The house is secure."
The alpha replied "Very good. We are close to their last known location. Kill three of the townspeople and allow the bodies to be found. They will come to us."
The other wolf woman nodded and left the room.
Sam and Dean were in the Impala, on the way to the manor and were being followed by Bobby and Mary. Sam chuckled and asked Dean "Why do you seem nervous?"
Dean replied "I'm not, I was thinking, what if Mom and Bobby don't like them?"
Sam laughed before he stated "Dude she's not even your girlfriend and she's awesome. You don't need to worry about her meeting your parents"
"That's not what I meant" Dean stated
Castiel then appeared in the back seat. He said "Hello Dean, Sam"
"Hey Cas" Both Sam and Dean said. Dean added "You sticking around for a while?"
Castiel replied "Yes. Heaven has been fixed"
Sam questioned "So it's not losing power or anything anymore?"
Castiel explained "No. The grace of living angels used to power heaven when they were there. Now heaven is also powered by the souls that reside there. Haniel and I went to Winchester Corner and called in a favour. Now souls will nap once a week and share their power"
Dean questioned "Back up, what is Winchester Corner?"
"Ah" Castiel said before he asked "Do you remember when you were there and Ash worked out how to travel between people's heavens?"
Sam replied "Yeah, what's he have to do with this?"
Castiel explained "He kept track of your adventures. When Charlie died, he made an effort to meet with her. Once he had established that she did not want any D, whatever that means, they became friends. One thing lead to another and eventually they reprogrammed a small section of heaven so that anyone you were friends with or considered family, had a door to the roadhouse of Ash's heaven. Many of the people you've lost spend time there drinking and enjoying each other's company"
Dean couldn't help but smile "That's kind of awesome"
Castiel then explained "When Haniel heard about what they'd achieved she went to visit them. Ash and Charlie worked together and reprogrammed heaven"
Sam smiled and said "That's definitely awesome"
Castiel asked "Why are Bobby and Mary following you? Is something big happening?"
Dean slowed and turned into the driveway of the manor as he replied "Not exactly, we're taking them to meet the Clarions. We're going to pool our information and see if we can work out what's going on with this end of worlds crap"
"Oh, then I would like to join you. Heaven knows no more than you do" Castiel stated
Dean pulled the car to a stop and said "Well this is it"
Bobby pulled the car to a stop next to them and everyone got out and headed up to the front door. Mary commented "This place is beautiful. I'm surprised you even come back to the bunker"
Sam commented "The bunker was the first home we had in a really long time"
Dean added "Yeah we've got a soft spot for it"
Lily then opened the door "Hey guys" She greeted "You know the drill, make yourselves at home."
Sam said "This is Lily. Lily, this is Mom and Bobby"
Lily shook their hands and said "Mary, right?"
Mary nodded and said "It's nice to finally meet you"
Lily stated "Tulip's in the kitchen making pie and Lotus and Clover are in the control room, this way"
Dean said "We'll grab Tulip and meet you in there"
Dean lead Mary towards the kitchen and Bobby stated "I'm guessing Tulip is the one he's got a crush on"
Lily chuckled and Sam laughed before saying "She saved me, fixed the car and now she's making pie. That's like, his holy trinity"
Bobby smirked before following Sam and Lily.
Dean and Mary entered the kitchen and heard black sabbath playing on the stereo. Tulip was finishing the pie which now just needed to be baked.
"Hey" Tulip said when she saw them. She put the pie in the oven before she quickly washed and dried her hands. She pushed the start button on a small kitchen timer and slipped it in her pocket. "OK, I'm done" she stated
Dean commented "That already smells amazing"
Tulip shrugged and stated "Cooking was one of the very few hobbies we were allowed to do growing up. Maybe, introduce us then compliment my food"
Mary chuckled as Dean said "Right. Tulip this is Mary. Mom this is Tulip"
"Nice to meet you" Mary said as they shook hands.
Tulip had wide eyes as she questioned "Mom? You're the Mary Winchester?" Mary nodded and Tulip looked at Dean and asked "You seriously owe me story time"
Dean chuckled and said "Yeah I know. Come on, we're all going to go and get our nerd on"
They headed towards the control room as Tulip commented "Yeah, I haven't heard much yet but whatever this end of worlds is, it doesn't sound good"
Everyone had a seat in the control room and after all the introductions were taken care of, Lotus said "OK, as you all know, none of us have any idea what we're up against"
Clover continued "We've got a half man half scorpion thing that dies and reacts like a demon. A half dog or wolf, half woman that also dies and reacts like a demon. Not sure if she's worth mentioning but there's also the crazy lake lady who was stealing souls and chopping people's heads off"
Sam looked confused as he commented "Charoness? I killed her with the demon blade"
Lily stated "We exorcised her"
Lotus stated "It's possible there's more than one"
Dean commented "Right before Sam stabbed her, I said we'd kill her and she said 'without the others, I don't think so.' Like she couldn't be killed alone"
Sam said "The alpha wolf hybrid said something similar"
Clover said "OK, so boat lady is on the list too and we don't know if there's more than one of her or not"
Lotus stated "On top of that we've also got the weird demon things that don't have mouths."
"Malebranche" Tulip stated
Everyone looked at her and she shrugged and said "Demons with grappling hooks. They're Malebranche." She looked at Lily and pointed to the laptop as she asked "Have you got the men of letters database on that thing"
Lily nodded and Tulip moved over to the laptop and looked for something as Sam commented "None of us have been able to find anything about what's going on and you know what those things are called"
"Not just the demons" Tulip commented. "I'm guessing you over looked it because they were written about in a fictional play. Here it is, this is a copy of the original work"
Everyone looks up to see a title page. "The devine comedy?" Bobby questioned
Castiel commented "Dante Alighieri was supposed to be a prophet. He wrote about heaven but the story was so ludicrous that his ramblings were simply attributed to his alcoholism"
Tulip stated "Well this is worth looking at, trust me"
Dean questioned "So what is this devine comedy?"
Tulip explained "The short version is it's a story about a guy who who travels through hell, purgatory and heaven. It's mostly christian but with some greek stuff as well. It's in three parts, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The part we're now worried about is inferno, which is about Dante being guided by Virgil through the nine layers of hell. He travelled down till he reached Satan, who was apparently at the bottom trapped in ice. He continued on past Satan and on to purgatory"
Sam commented "Lucifer ran cold. Even when he was out of the cage, where he was actually trapped. Everything about him was cold"
Lotus commented "Supports this, inferno, so far"
Castiel added "There have been whispers in hell. Many different things have been said but quite a few have mentioned a stone. I don't know anything about this stone except the whispers place it beneath Lucifer's cage"
Tulip then continued "When Dante's in hell, he comes across a whole bunch of nasty stuff. Nasty stuff including the geryon, a part man, part scorpion thing. There is a she-wolf that gets mentioned and also Charon. Charon is a guy who rides a boat and ferries souls. Dante also mentions twelve demons, who all have names he must have come up with while drunk, but they are demons with grappling hooks. The malebranche"
With a few clicks she brought up a few pictures on the screen. Sam stated "That one is definitely the bug man"
Clover added "Crazy lake lady had a giant ass staff just like Charon does here"
Mary commented "The number three is quite important in this play too"
Tulip commented "Sure is Mama bear and it's been relevant in whatever is going on lately too. Three new creatures, three types of clarion"
Lotus commented "We've got three friends in hell"
Dean added "Erin mentioned the number three too. Three of us each killed one of the gorgons"
Sam said "There were three empusas as well"
Lotus added "Even when we met you and saved you from the werewolves. They had three children captive."
Clover stated "Before we even met you we saved three angels."
Bobby stated "The real question is, what does Dante's inferno have to do with the end of worlds?"
Tulip replied "That I don't know"
Dean added "How are we going to kill these new demon monsters?"
Lotus commented "You guys mentioned that two of them have hinted they can't be killed alone. Maybe we need to get the alphas together and exorcise them at the same time"
Sam said "That's not going to be easy. We don't even know for sure that the dungeons will hold them"
Tulip commented "So we need to find a way to han solo their asses"
Clover commented "That could probably be done with magic"
Lily commented "It will need to be something we can weaponise, we're not all brilliant with spells"
Clover nodded and said "Shouldn't take too long"
Dean stated "Well at least we've got a game plan now"
Mary curiously asked "What's that flashing on the screen?"
Lily explained "That's a program I wrote to find hunts" She clicked on the icon and said "Whoah, there's a few of them"
Lotus questioned "What have we got?"
Lily explained "Looks like a vengeful spirit up north and a vampire nest to the east. This one matches the wolf women and seems like a trap. Three dead bodies in a town that's basically gone radio silent. It also looks like there's a wendigo not far from the vampires"
Dean commented "We'll take the wolf bitches"
Lotus stated "Not alone. Tulip and Lily can go with you. Clover and I can take out the vampires and wendigo."
Bobby said "Mary and I can handle the spirit"
Castiel said "I will go and tell Haniel what we've learned and then join Sam and Dean"
Lotus gave a nod and said "OK. You're all welcome to crash here overnight and head out in the morning. Clover, let's go make sure you've got what you need to make some kind of carbonite throwable"
Clover nodded and he and Lotus left the room. There was a beeping noise and Tulip said "Excuse me guys I've got to go to the kitchen"
As she left Castiel commented "I will return shortly"
Lily, Mary and Bobby began discussing the vengeful spirit case while Sam noticed Dean was fidgeting. He chuckled and just said "Dude if we need you, we'll meet you in the kitchen. Try not to eat the whole thing"
Dean smiled and said "Yeah I'll meet you there"
The following day Sam, Dean, Lily and Tulip are standing by their cars outside of a hotel. Dean said "Right, you guys check the morgue, make sure these bodies were attacked by what we think they were. Me and Sam will scope out the cafe where one of the victims was found. There's most likely a camera in that place so we can see what we're up against."
The girls nodded and Sam pointed out "It's a small town so be careful. These things could be anywhere."
The two pairs got in their cars and headed in different directions.
Sam and Dean headed to the cafe. The cafe was empty save for one customer sitting in the corner and two staff behind the counter.
They approached the counter and flashed their badges as Sam said "We'd like to speak with the owner."
One of the women behind the counter said "Of course, we can take you to her. She's been waiting for you."
Dean looked around and saw the woman who had been sitting in the corner. She is now between them and the door, holding a baseball bat. Dean saw that she had wolf paws instead of feet. Dean said "Sammy, they've turned!"
Dean pulled out an angel blade and began fighting the one with baseball bat. Sam pulled out the demon blade and took a step backwards as the two other women leapt over the counter.
Sam is quick to swing his blade and kill one of them before he narrowly dodged the claws of the other. Dean managed to manoeuvre around the bat and stab that one with his angel blade.
Sam then stabbed the remaining wolf and turned to Dean before he asked "Now what do we do?"
Dean replied "We keep searching and kill any of these things that come between us and the alpha."
Lily and Tulip are in the morgue and are surrounded by several dead half wolf bodies. Lily checked her phone and said "It looks like they've turned the whole bloody town."
Tulip commented "We need to work out where the alpha is hiding"
Lily nodded and said "We need to get out of here alive"
Sam and Dean were now walking down one of the main roads. Dean asked "Where do we start?"
Sam replied "Thankfully it's not a big town. The girls have cleared out the morgue and are continuing on foot too"
Dean gave a nod and they slowed as they looked around. Dean commented "It's too quiet."
Sam replied "That usually means we're about to get attacked"
Dean said "Surely they won't be that predictable"
Two wolf creatures appeared behind them as another two jumped off the adjacent building and landed in front of them. Sam said "Nope, they're going the predictable option"
Sam and Dean began fighting the creatures and over several minutes they managed to kill three of them. However four more emerged.
They managed to kill another two of them before one of them knocked Sam out. He fell to the ground in an unconscious heap and was picked up by one of the creatures. The wolf held Sam over it's shoulder and carried him away while the remaining creatures kept Dean busy.
Dean screamed "Sammy!"
He received a deep gash on his arm as he fought to follow Sam but the two remaining wolf women kept him back. He continued to fight skilfully yet struggled to kill them until Lily and Tulip approached quickly.
They ran over and killed the two wolf women. Dean immediately said "They took Sam, did you see anything?"
The girls both shook their heads and Dean yelled "Damn it!" He looked at the girls and said "Come on, we have to find him."
The girls followed him and Tulip noticed the blood dripping from Dean's hand. She said "Dean wait, you're bleeding"
Dean replied "It's fine, we need to find Sam"
Tulip grabbed his arm and healed the gash. She said "You can't help Sam if you bleed out. Is there anywhere else?"
They continued walking and Dean flexed his wrist. He sincerely stated "Thanks"
Lily then said "Guys, we got company"
A group of six of the wolf hybrids was approaching them quickly and Dean said "Keep one alive. One of these things must know where the alpha's hiding. I'm guessing that's where they took Sam."
The three of them manage to kill all but one of the hybrids before Dean dragged it inside the nearest building. The wolf woman was clearly injured and Dean pulled out a flask of holy water. Lily and Tulip were keeping a lookout as Dean attempted to get information out of the creature.
Dean demanded "Where did that bitch take my brother?"
The creature laughed before she growled out "You can burn me all you want. I won't tell you a damn thing"
Dean replied "Keep telling yourself that." He took his angel blade and carved a line down her arm. The wolf hybrid growled in pain before Dean splashed holy water on the wound. She let out a scream of pain but said nothing.
Dean then commented "You keep quiet, you're only going to piss me off. You're going to suffer a long and painful death if you don't tell me what I want to know."
The hybrid laughed and taunted him. "Is that supposed to be your scary face?"
Lily looked at Tulip and was obviously worried as she said "We don't have time for this. We need to find Sam"
Tulip nodded and moved over to the creature. She placed a hand on it's forehead and Tulip's eyes glowed as she used her powers.
The wolf woman screamed in agony before Tulip demanded "Where is he?"
The creature was shaking but didn't say anything so Tulip did it again. Still she stayed quiet so Tulip touched her forehead a third time.
The creature weakly blurted out "The mansion... Two blocks over... Miller estate"
Dean then swiftly stabbed it in the heart. They exited the building and Dean curiously asked "What did you do to her exactly?"
Tulip seemed nervous as she replied "Sent pain down every single nerve ending she had"
"Thanks for the help" Dean stated as he gave her shoulder a supportive squeeze.
Tulip shrugged and said "Don't go thanking me until he's safe"
They all moved quickly and cautiously toward the mansion. Not even ten minutes later they approached the building and as they did the front door swung open and a group of the wolf women emerged. Dean, Lily and Tulip all spread out and began to fight.
Minutes passed and it seemed like for every creature they killed, another emerged. Lily killed one of the hybrids close to her and glanced towards Dean and Tulip. They seemed to be managing on their own so Lily headed inside the mansion.
While the others were trying to reach him, Sam woke up tied to a chair and looked around frantically. The alpha was standing nearby looking out the window. Sam struggled against his bindings and the alpha turned to look at him with an evil grin on her face.
The alpha then gave a slight chuckle before she pointed out "You hunters are so foolish. Your friends are outside; they won't live for long"
Sam grit his teeth and said "We will kill you."
The alpha replied "You're in no position to be making death threats"
Sam scoffed and continued struggling to to get his wrists free as he stated "Don't worry, we'll catch you first. Won't kill you until we have the three of you together."
The alpha's smugness faltered for a brief moment before she lifted her hands and gave Sam a slow clap. "Congratulations, you've managed to learn something. You won't stop what's coming, your world will perish."
Sam questioned "You know how many times I've heard that before?"
The alpha stalked closer to him and said "You're not the only who has managed to learn something. I've heard all about you, Sam Winchester. The boy with the demon blood."
Sam rolled his eyes but stayed quiet as the alpha continued to taunt him. "They say an addiction is never really cured. Do you miss that feeling Sam?"
Sam replied "I don't miss it at all." His voice was confident yet he appeared nervous.
The alpha suggested "Perhaps we should change that."
Sam argued "Why bother? It would just make killing you easier"
The alpha gave a sinister chuckle and said "It might give you the power to kill me but it would also taint you. Take you out of the fight as the cravings take hold."
Sam questioned "You sure like the sound of your own voice, don't you? What are you trying to achieve?"
"What can I say?" The alpha replied "After millennia banished to hell, I'm finally free. Fulfilling my purpose as was always intended but, that's not why you are here"
Sam stated "No, I'm here because you needed bait"
The alpha replied "You're here because Virgil wants you out of the way."
Sam scoffed and said "The guy who helped Dante?"
At this, the alpha angrily backhanded Sam hard before growling as she said "You dare speak his name? He will end you and your world."
Sam rolled his eyes and said "Sure he will."
The alpha angrily said "Enough chat." She used the demon blade and cut into her palm. "Thirsty Sam?" she questioned as she moved closer.
Sam curled his lips inward and pulls away as much as he could. He struggled hard against his bindings as the alpha stated "There's no point in struggling Sam, you might as well embrace it."
She gripped his jaw tight and stilled his head. Just as she was about to cover his mouth with her bleeding hand, Lily ran in. She has a few injuries of her own and was breathing heavily as she angrily said "You're dead!"
The alpha growled and moved away from Sam. Sam breathed a sigh of relief as the alpha and Lily began to fight each other.
The fight lasted several minutes and they managed to injure each other before Lily knocked the alpha's legs out from under her.
Lily then pulled a small vial from her pocket and threw it at the alpha before saying the activation phrase for the spell as she hit the vial with her blade. A blue substance spread over the alpha rapidly.
The alpha roared angrily until her whole body was covered. Her movements halted as she was covered and the room fell silent.
Lily turned to Sam and angrily said "You asshole!"
"What did I do?" Sam asked as she walked over
Lily cut away the ropes tying him to the chair as she angrily asked "What do you think you're doing getting yourself kidnapped?!"
Sam argued "Hey I didn't-"
Lily cut him off as she continued "What if we didn't find you?! What if I didn't get here in time?!"
Sam stood once he was untied. He was getting annoyed by her anger and was about to defend himself when he realised Lily's eyes were watering. He realised she had been worried about him when she continued "You couldn't have been maimed or eaten or killed. She nearly fed you demon blood!"
She stood in front of him and added "Damn it Sam, don't you ever do that again. Now where are you hurt?"
Sam couldn't help a small smile as he suddenly pulled her into a hug. "I'm OK Lily" He stated softly
Lily returned the hug and took a deep breath before she mumbled "You nearly weren't"
There is a faint glow and Sam felt his split lip and other minor injuries get healed. "Thank you" Sam said
They hugged for a moment longer before Lily pulled back and said "We should go check on Dean and Tulip. Don't get hurt again or I'll lock you up in our dungeon to keep you safe"
Sam picked up the demon blade and followed her as he joked "Is it a sex dungeon?"
Over her shoulder, Lily shot back "Not if you get hurt again"
Sam chuckled before asking "Wait, what?"
Lily said no more as they moved out of the room and headed through the house quickly. They found Tulip and Dean fighting several wolf women in the foyer and quickly began to help.
With the four of them fighting, they worked their way through the remaining demon creatures easily. Dean immediately asked "You OK Sam?"
Sam replied "Yeah, I'm good. Lily's my hero"
Lily smirked and Dean asked "You sure?"
Sam said "Yes Dean I'm sure."
Tulip then asked "Where's the alpha now?"
Lily replied "She got Solo'ed"
Dean gave nod before he said "Awesome. We can keep her in the dungeon until we get the other two."
Sam looked at Lily with a smirk and Lily looked away with a smile, hopeful she wasn't blushing.
Krissy, Jack and Michael were creeping through the cave in hell. Jack asked "Where is the light coming from?"
Michael replied "I don't know. We'll find out soon, it seems to be coming from up ahead"
Krissy commented "I can't wait to get out of here. I'm going to have such a long shower"
Michael commented "We're close. It shouldn't be too much longer"
They continued walking and the cave began to open out into a large cavern. There was a large river flowing through the cave, glowing a deep blue colour. They moved closer and saw that instead of water, the river was full of souls.
Michael commented "Acheron. We are not far from where the cage was. Once there I can get us to Crowley."
Krissy said "Well, that's the best news I've had in weeks. What exactly is Acheron?"
Michael explained "A river of souls. It's similar to the veil; souls on the way to their afterlife who are not yet ready to cross over, so to speak. It runs through hell but the souls in there are both good and bad. Some are destined for heaven while others will never leave hell. We'll need to find a way across"
Krissy then suddenly shoved Michael; a grappling hook narrowly avoiding them. Krissy manifested her new blade and Michael pulled out his own before they began to fight the demon.
While they fought, neither realised that Jack had approached the edge of the river. One of the souls had risen halfway out of the river. It took the shape of Kelly Kline and Jack fell to his knees. He questioned "Mom?"
"Hello Jack" She said with a smile.
Jack shakily said "You shouldn't be here"
Kelly explained "I'm not even sure where here is. A woman named Billie said if I stayed here a while I would get to say goodbye to you"
Jack had tears in his eyes as he commented "I don't want to say goodbye"
Kelly replied "I don't want to either but this is the way it has to be. I want you to know that I am so very proud of who you have become. I love you Jack"
"I love you Mom" Jack said as he struggled not to cry.
They both leant forward and hugged each other tightly. As they hugged Kelly whispered "My son you are perfect and good. I'm proud of you. I love you Jack"
Kelly then began to glow. Jack pulled back from the hug and watched as the whole river began to glow. In one big swirling mass every soul in the river launched up and the mass moved towards Jack, flowing quickly through his torso with force.
Krissy and Michael killed the demon and turned when they heard Jack scream in pain. Krissy yelled "Jack!"
She and Michael moved over quickly when suddenly there was a blinding flash of light. The souls were now all gone and Jack slumped to the ground weakly.
"Jack" Krissy repeated as she dropped to her knees next to him and helped him to sit up. "Are you OK?"
Jack took a deep breath and nodded before Krissy hugged him. They stood and Michael asked "What happened? You seem to have gotten your grace back"
Jack explained "My mother was in the river. She spoke to me and we hugged and then the souls went through me and disappeared. My grace feels different. It's there but I still feel very human"
Michael stated "Even with your grace you are more human than anything else Jack"
Jack gave a nod and mumbled "Thank you"
With the river now empty a bridge to the other side was now visible. Krissy said "Come on, let's get out of here"
A short while later, Stephon approached Virgil by his throne inside his palace. Virgil did not look impressed as he said "Report."
Stephon replied "The three malebranche trailing them now lie dead and soon they will have crossed the river Acheron. She has acquired her powers and possesses the blade. They will soon return to earth"
Virgil let off a sinister growl before he stated "Then I must ascend before they get there. I will rise to Earth and see to it that those foolish hunters will not stop our plans. Prepare the others, it is time we left hell."
Castiel was now standing with Dean, Sam, Lily and Lily and Tulip. They were standing outside of the mansion and their cars were now in the driveway. Castiel said "The frozen demon is in the bunker dungeon. This town is now clear of wolf hybrids"
Dean said "Thanks Cas."
Castiel then questioned "What are you going to do now?"
Dean replied "Find bug man and crazy lake lady"
Sam added "We need to do more research too. This Dante's Inferno has more to do with whatever's going than we realise"
Lily questioned "So, back to the manor?"
Tulip smirked and looked at Dean as she said "Race you?"
Dean smirked back and said "Last one there buys the pie."
Tulip smiled before they quickly got in their cars. Both cars rumbled to life as Lily stated "They're like idiot children"
Sam chuckled and said "That's true"
Lily then smirked and stated "Make it apple pie"
She then moved quickly to Tulip's car. Dean yelled, "Sam! Cas! Get in the car, there's pie on the line here."
Sam laughed and Castiel rolled his eyes. Castiel grabbed Sam and they appeared in their spots in the impala. Both cars drove away from the mansion quickly.
While the others were racing back to the manor, Garth was hiding in his basement with Bess. They were placing salt lines around the doors as Bess asked "What are those things?"
Garth finished salting the window before he replied "I don't know. They smell like demons but I've never seen demons like that before."
He looked out the window and watched two mouthless demons. They had caught two other werewolves with their grappling hooks as Virgil stood by and watched.
Bess walked over to look out the window with him and asked "What are they doing?"
Garth replied "I'm not sure"
They watched as Virgil raised his hand towards the werewolves. He closed his hand into a fist and in the blink of an eye the two werewolf's bodies are stripped of flesh, leaving only bones behind.
Bess panicked and let out a short scream before suddenly the door to the basement swung open. Virgil now stood in the doorway. Garth pulled Bess behind him and snarled as his wolf teeth became visible.
Virgil chuckled evilly and with a flick of his wrist he threw Garth into a wall. Garth's face scrunched in horror as a sickening squelch was heard. He roared "Bess! No!"
Bess's skeleton floated out through the door and past Virgil. Virgil looked at Garth and said "You shall deliver a message to the Winchesters. I will not be stopped."
Garth then roared in pain as he was thrown in to another wall and knocked out.
The next day Dean wandered into the kitchen at the manor. Tulip was sitting at the counter eating a piece of pie. Dean said "Morn- Are you eating pie for breakfast?"
"Don't judge me" She stated as Dean helped himself to the coffee.
Dean chuckled and said "Wasn't judging"
Tulip smirked and said "I saved you a piece. It's warm in the oven"
Dean grinned and "You're awesome." He grabbed himself the pie and joined her at the counter as he asked "Any sign of Sam this morning?"
Tulip nodded and said "He went for a jog through the woods with Lily"
Dean sighed and mumbled "Of course he did"
Tulip chuckled and said "You mad?"
Dean said "No I'm not mad, why would I be mad?" He then stuffed his mouth full with a chunk of pie.
Tulip smirked and said "You know she isn't going to take him away from you, right?"
Dean frowned at her and swallowed his mouthful before he grumbled "I know that"
She noticed he was avoiding her gaze and she simply stated "There is not a single thing that will ever change the fact that, that overgrown nerd will always need his big brother, Batman, in his life. Always"
Dean couldn't help but smile as he scooped more pie in to his mouth. Tulip teased "That's one free chick flick moment for you. The next one will cost you so take those words seriously"
Dean looked at her and said "Oh come on that wasn't-"
"It totally was" Tulip replied "You were totally thinking it and I'm right. So don't forget it"
"Smart ass" Dean mumbled with a small smile.
"Hey guys" Lily said as she walked in followed by Sam.
Sam asked "Are you guys seriously eating pie for breakfast"
Dean stated "It's good pie"
Tulip commented "Well before you interrupted us we were discussing important things like how Batman's greatest enemy was the joker"
Lily commented "Is the joker the creepy clown?"
Sam shuddered slightly and stated "Yep." He rolled his eyes and added "And I know Dean, you're Batman"
Sam opened the fridge and grabbed himself and Lily a bottle of water. Tulip poked her tongue out at Dean when Sam wasn't looking. Dean reached for his coffee and said "Smart ass" before taking a sip.
Then Dean's phone began to ring. He answered "Hey Garth. Wait, wait, slow down. You're kidding? You're sure they were white? Let me guess, claws, no mouths, grappling hooks? OK, you have somewhere safe you can go? OK, keep in touch man"
He hung up the phone and said "Bess is dead. Garth got attacked by a few of the mouthless freaks and a white eyed demon"
"White?" Sam asked as his eyes went wide "Dude the only white eyed demons we've even heard of are Lilith and Alastair"
Dean gave a nod and said "Yeah, I know. Which means we need to work out how to kill one because we're NOT doing what we did last time"
Sam nodded "Yeah. I, I can't"
Lily said "Michael" They looked at her and she said "We've got an archangel on our side so no one is drinking any demon blood. All we need is for Crowley to give him his powers back. Once he's back from hell obviously."
Dean sighed and said "Yeah maybe Jack could handle it too, if he ever gets his powers back."
Lotus and Clover walked in with Castiel. Castiel stated "I still believe it is a trap. There is a prophet of the lord in that town"
Dean asked "Now what?"
Lotus replied "I'm going to go and check out some demon omens"
Castiel rolled his eyes and stated "In the same town the gorgons attacked. Going alone would be foolish"
Tulip said "I'll tag along. Low level demon powers don't work so well on me"
Castiel looked at Dean and said "I am going to accompany them. Please pray if you need me"
Dean smirked and said "Will do Cas. Me and Sam are going to try and find bug man or lake bitch"
Castiel nodded and Lotus looked at Tulip and said "We're ready when you are"
Tulip nodded and said "Gimme twenty"
Lily commented "I'll hang back with Clover and keep looking for bug man and boat lady"
Everyone gave a nod and headed off in separate directions.
That night, Lotus, Tulip and Cas are in a high school, up against more than one spirit. They are up against the high school's football team who had passed away just two days ago in an accident.
Lotus was slammed in to a row of lockers by one of the spirits, pointing his hand in her direction. She swung the iron bar she was holding but it didn't quite reach him.
Castiel and Tulip were elsewhere and her shotgun had already been knocked away from her.
Two more ghost footballers appeared next to the first and Lotus managed to flick her wrist and threw the iron bar at the footballer pinning her to the lockers.
He disappeared and Lotus reached for the iron bar but she was slammed into the lockers again. She began struggling to breathe when suddenly a shotgun blast was heard.
The ghosts disappeared and Lotus quickly picked up the iron bar as a young girl said "Holy crap, did you see that?" Lotus looked over as she added "That was awesome! You OK?"
Lotus replied "Yeah, thanks. What the hell dude? How old are you?"
She answered "Thirteen, I'm Erin. Come on, Cas and Tulip need help too."
Elsewhere in the building Tulip is wounded and standing in front of a demon. Castiel appeared and said "The spirits are at rest now"
The demon chuckled and said "Ah Castiel, you will do nicely"
Castiel turned and said "Mammon. I knew it was a trap"
Mammon chuckled and said "Yes, a trap for the Winchesters. I think capturing their precious angel will be the perfect bait"
Castiel drew his angel blade but Mammon raised his hand and said "Sleep"
Castiel fell to the ground and as Mammon moved towards him, Tulip pulled her wings out and used them to shove Mammon backwards.
Mammon raised his hand and slammed her into the roof before letting her drop to the floor. Lotus then yelled "Hey!"
Mammon looked at Lotus and chuckled before he questioned "You think you're a match for me half breed?"
Erin mumbled "This is the asshat who thinks he's king of hell"
Mammon stated "Silence child, you'll get your turn."
Lotus asked "What do you want?"
Mammon chuckled evilly as he moved closer. He stated "I've already got what I want. I'll kill you just for the fun of it"
However before he could do anything Erin thrust a blade into his chest. He looked down in shock before he fell to the ground in a dead heap.
Erin's eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. Lotus is equally wide eyed as she leant down and pulled an intricate blade out of Mammon's dead body. Lotus asked "Where the hell did you get this?"
Erin shrugged and explained "I've been having weird dreams since I killed that gorgon. Tonight I woke up after dreaming about this guy who told me you chicks are important and needed help. That was in a fancy box on my bed when I woke up. He called it a better demon blade."
Tulip then reached them and asked "You guys OK?"
Lotus nodded and said "Yeah, we're fine. This is Erin. Are you OK? How's Cas?"
Tulip replied "I'll live. I'm pretty sure Cas is just unconscious."
Lotus healed Tulip a little and turned to Erin. "Let's get you home"
A short time later Lotus and Erin are standing by the car, which is parked in Erin's driveway. Tulip leant a fist out of the passenger window and said "Thanks for the help kid. Stay safe OK? Finish school before you go full hunter."
Erin fistbumped Tulip and replied "I will. Are you guys going to be OK?"
Tulip replied "We'll be fine, Cas can heal us properly when he wakes up."
Erin looked at Cas, who had been awkwardly stuffed into the back seat and was lying on his stomach.
Erin said "Here, I think you guys might need this." She went to hand Lotus the new demon blade.
Lotus smiled and said "Keep it in that fancy box. It's probably warded to hide it." Erin smiled and hugged Lotus before Lotus asked "So did this dream guy tell you anything else that's useful?"
Erin thought for a moment before shaking her head. "Not really. Just said that his name was Chuck."
Tulip asked "Chuck?"
Erin replied "Yeah, I'm not sure who he is. Anyway, I'm going to bed. I'll see you guys around."
Lotus replied "Yeah, stay safe kiddo"
Virgil is standing just outside a cemetery and Stephon is standing close by. He inhaled deeply and grinned wickedly. He said "Yes, this area holds the necessary power."
Stephon asked "What are your orders, Sir?"
Virgil replied "Keep everything hidden from the humans. Begin preparing the bones and kill any who stand in your way."
Stephon disappeared and Virgil chuckled to himself before he entered Stull cemetery.
Sam and Dean are at the bunker. They were in the war room researching when Sam commented "Doesn't look like the men of letters knew much about white eyed demons"
Dean gave a nod and said "Well, the worst they went up against was Abbadon and she wiped them out."
Sam nervously questioned "What if it can't be killed?"
Dean said "It can and will die and don't make that face at me. You are not touching demon blood again"
Sam sighed and said "I'm just worried man. What if, what if this end of worlds crap is our blaze of glory?"
Dean confidently stated "It's not. I ain't out of the game yet. Besides you and Lily need to make nerd babies so I can be cool uncle Dean"
Sam rolled his eyes but didn't get a chance to retaliate as a grappling hook suddenly smashed into the table they were using.
Sam and Dean both dove for their weapons as one of the malebranche leapt towards them from entrance to the bunker.
Sam and Dean were thrown around the war room as they fought the demon. They both suffered minor injuries but eventually, Sam managed to stab the demon with the demon blade.
Dean angrily growled "We have got to get this place re-warded. How did it even find us"
Sam said "Can we go back to the manor? I wouldn't mind checking their database for information on white eyed demons. It's possible that thing had help finding us"
Dean gave a nod and said "Might as well. We can wait there for Cas and at least we know it's safe there"
Krissy, Jack and Michael were out of the cave and approached the stone in hell. The stone was now glowing and had several large cracks. Jack asked "What's down there?"
"I don't know" Michael replied "We are just beneath where the cage was. I believe this has something to do with the end of worlds"
Krissy stated "It feels evil"
"It is" Michael said
As they stood there a bright light came down from above and slammed into the stone. It appeared to move through the cracks.
Michael stated "That isn't good. Come on, I can get us to Crowley from here. Let's go home"
Sam is standing by a children's playground and there is a small boy holding his hand. The little boy looked up at him with a smile and asked "Daddy, can I go and play on the slide."
Sam was confused and replied "Uh, of course you can. I'll sit right here and watch."
The boy excitedly said "Ok!"
Sam watched the boy run off and a man on the bench behind him asked "How've you been Sam?"
Sam turned and his eyes went wide as he asked "Chuck?" Chuck nodded and Sam blurted out "Where have you been? What are you doing here? Am I dreaming?"
Chuck replied "I'm just checking in. Wanted to wish you good luck with the end of worlds"
Sam glared at him and angrily questioned "Are you serious? Everything we've been through since you left. All the people we've lost. Everything we're up against now and you want to say good luck? You're unbelievable."
Chuck replied "You know, there's billions of alternate realities, like apocalypse world as you call it. There's only one me. I can't sit around all day and make sure things always go well for you two, even if you are my favourite Sam and Dean. You wouldn't be the men you are today if I did."
Sam stared at him for a moment and Chuck added "There's even a place where Dean has long hair and yours is short. It's surprisingly disturbing"
Sam pinched the bridge of his nose and asked "So what, you're back in time to watch?"
Chuck nodded and said "The end of worlds can only be stopped by the most powerful thing ever known. I'm going to wipe out the leviathan as a just in case but that will temporarily weaken me"
Sam sighed and said "You're not going to go into any more detail either, are you?"
Chuck shook his head and said "Everyone has their part to play Sam. If your team wins it's going to make one hell of a book."
Sam rolled his eyes and said "I thought you stopped writing those."
Chuck explained "Oh I did but if you win, fifty years from now someone will go through my house and find all the unreleased works."
Sam stated "We should lose just because of that."
Chuck chuckled and said "The odds are in your favour but only just"
"Not helping Chuck" Sam stated. He was quiet for a moment before he asked "What's with the dream? I haven't had a dream even close to this since I was in college. Even then it wasn't like this."
Chuck smiled and explained "Motivation. Should you all be successful, this could be your future."
Sam looked at him with wide eyes and asked "Are you saying... If we survive this, Dean and I will get normal?"
Chuck made a fifty fifty motion with his hand and said "Hunter-normal but yes. This could be you and Dean. I might not be able to help much but I'm a sucker for a happy ending."
Sam smiled slightly as he asked "What?"
Chuck replied "I know, mini Deans is a scary thought but so is Dean after not sleeping because of the twins... Nuts. I've said too much... Forget that bit."
Sam couldn't help but smile as he thought about what he's been told. Chuck added "I've also seen what happens if you lose. Let's try not to go there, OK?"
Sam nodded and they fell silent once more when Sam turned to him and curiously asked "Who is the mother?"
Chuck simply smiled and said "Dean's pulling in at the manor. I'll see you all soon"
Sam woke up in the passenger seat of the impala with a gasp. Dean was pulling the car to a stop outside the manor. Dean said "Nice timing. Come on, I'm hungry. I want to go and raid their kitchen."
Sam chuckled and followed him inside.
Sam and Dean were sitting in the manor. Sam was researching and Dean was watching TV when Lotus and Tulip got back. Castiel had an arm around each of the girls shoulders as they helped him to walk.
Dean gasped "Cas!" He got up and helped get Cas into a chair.
Sam asked "What the hell happened?"
Castiel grumpily replied "I took a nap."
Dean asked "What? Why? Are you OK?"
Castiel replied "I remember Mammon putting me to sleep and now I feel worse than the time I drank a liquor store."
Sam asked "What was the king of hell doing there?"
Castiel glared at Sam and stated "Obviously, it was a trap."
The girls chuckled and Lotus explained "He killed a football team and kept their spirits tied to a football. He was expecting you guys"
Dean asked "You guys OK? What happened?"
Tulip stated "We're OK. We had help from Erin."
Sam and Dean both gasped "What?!"
Lotus commented "She's been dreaming about the lot of us. Then she dreamt about some awkward guy named Chuck who gave her, what he called, a better demon blade. She killed Mammon"
Dean growled and asked "Chuck? Chuck's back?"
Sam sighed and looked at Dean and said "He visited me in a dream just before we got here too. I wasn't going to say anything 'cause I knew you'd be pissed."
Dean looked annoyed and asked "What the hell did he want? Why is he visiting you?"
Sam explained "Motivation apparently. He's going to wipe out the leviathan as a just in case, whatever that means. He said everyone has their part to play and that the end of worlds can only be stopped by the most powerful thing ever known."
Dean rolled his eyes and said "So he's useless like always."
Tulip commented "Thanks to him, Erin saved our asses. Not entirely useless."
Castiel lifted his head and said "My father is not their favourite person"
Lotus asked "Father, like god?"
Sam said "Yeah, he calls himself Chuck"
As Lily walked in Castiel grumbled "I would like another nap"
Lily stated "Rest well guys because I found the bug man. Looks like it's holding up in some caves about three hours from here"
Lotus said "OK, we'll head out first thing in the morning"
Everyone gave a nod and headed in their separate directions.
Meanwhile, Mary and Bobby had taken care of the vengeful spirit which had taken them all night. Now, they were being attacked by one of the malebranche. They were already injured after defeating the vengeful spirit and were struggling against the demon.
Mary was knocked to the ground and the malebranche swung it's grappling hook towards her.
She attempted to move out of the way but before the hook could hit her Bobby dove in front of her. The grappling hook stabbed Bobby in the side and he was flung sideways into a wall.
The malebranche moved towards Mary and grabbed her around the throat. It lifted her off her the ground when suddenly Bobby stabbed it in the back.
The demon fell to the ground in a dead heap and Mary pulled herself to her feet. She asked "Bobby are you OK?"
"I'll live" He said with a wince of pain.
Mary moved to check the wound on his side but saw that the wound was glowing. As if an angel had been cut with an angel blade.
Bobby was obviously nervous as Mary took a step back and demanded "Who are you?"
~~~ End part ~~~
:) Any thoughts on who apocalypse Bobby really is? Who would you like, or not like it to be?
