Chapter 17
Sam explained Hailey's dream to the gang. Bobby without a word sat on the couch and stared aimlessly in front of him, a couple of shades paler than usual. Ellen sat next to him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
We'll find her Bobby, then you can rip her a new one for being so...
In love? Jesus, I should've known this would end badly... Bobby said bitterly. He was worried beyond belief but he also knew his daughter. She wasn't going to stop trying to save the man she loved even if it meant putting her own self in danger. He hated it.
Dean kept pacing while Sam had opened his laptop trying to trace Hailey's phone. Jo tried calling her over and over till the phone stop ringing and going straight to voice mail.
Hailey, if you get this... Just come home. We'll talk about this. Let us help you... Sweetie you ain't got a chance alone. Jo whispered to the phone before hanging up.
A big bang was heard and all of them jumped at the noise. Dean had just punched through a wall, staring at his now bloody hand. Jo made her way to him and grabbed his good hand.
C'mon, first aid's in the kitchen... She said pulling him with her.
Jo pushed Dean on a chair and grabbed the first aid under the sink. She started working on his hand as he watched her silently.
I can't lose her... Dean said not taking his eyes off his hand.
I know big boy...
I should go... Look for her.
Sweetie. We don't know where she went off to.
I can't just stay here and do nothing.
Sam came in the kitchen with a frown on his lips.
Can't locate her...
Shocker! Dean said sarcastically.
I'm sorry Dean! I didn't know she would run off like that...
Shows how well you know your best friend... Added Dean, bitterly.
How about we try to find a way to get to her instead of losing time acting like a bitch huh? Suggested Jo, sweetly, finishing up fixing his hand.
Bobby walked in and grabbed his phone. He had his phone booklet opened and stared to dial a number.
Missouri, it's (...) right... I need you to find (...) right. Can you- (...) See you than. Bobby hung up the phone and put it down
Damn psychics... Hemumbled at their confused looks.
Hailey drove all day and all evening trying to get as far away from Sioux Falls as possible. She broke into a locked little chapel not far from the road. She grabbed the box, the gun and threw the book into the box before making her way back into the chapel. She didn't lose any time and started painting the symbols she needed on herself to perform the ritual. She then started placing white candles around the altar and started taking the ingredients carefully out of the box. She tried reading from the book but it was too dark. Hailey looked around and smiled at the fireplace. She quickly started a fire in it and was pleased by the lighting it gave off in the chapel. She went back to her book and took a deep breath. She started saying the chant as she prepared to add the first ingredient to the bowl when suddenly a deafening ring grew in the chapel. Hailey tried to ignore it but, as the sound intensified, she couldn't help but drop the ingredient and cover her ears from the searing sound. Hailey dropped to the floor and screamed as she felt her ear drums almost bursting. A white light grew brighter around Hailey, blinding her.
Dean and Sam were in the Impala, speeding dangerously down the road Missouri had told them Hailey would be. Missouri had simply walked in Bobby's home and asked for Hailey's hair brush. She quickly took out a few things out of her bag and placed a map on the table. Jo had handed the brush to Missouri and the medium pulled out a few hairs. She closed her eyes and blindingly pointed on the map a little spot on the side of the road.
This is where she will be... hurry. She said, looking at Dean.
Dean quickly looked at the map and without a word grabbed his keys and ran out, Sam following his brother, grabbing the map on his way.
She's gotta be close... Sam told his brother keeping his eyes opened to spot the black mustang.
All of a sudden a bright light appeared a couple of miles from them. Both brothers paled at the sight.
No... Whispered Dean, slamming the gas paddle to the floor, making baby drift a bit.
As they got to the light they spotted Hailey's car. The light was coming from inside the little white chapel. They pulled in near her car and ran out. As they ran to the doors they heard the ringing sound but pushed their way closer. The sound intensified so much all the windows blew up at once sending the brothers on the ground. Dean quickly recovered and got up. He opened the door and saw Hailey at the altar clutching her head in ball on the floor.
Hailey! He yelled, scanning the place as best he could in the blinding light. He found her set up and quickly made a bee line to the opened book. Hailey saw a figure pass her and looked up to see Dean pick up the book.
Nooooo! She screamed, trying to get up but her legs gave out.
Dean, without hesitating threw the book into the fire place. The light was gone as soon as the book fell into the flame, leaving them both blind in the soft light the flames produced. The sound also subsided leaving their ear ringing. Dean turned to Hailey, who was bleeding from her nose and ears, trying to get up again.
No... She cried reaching her hand out before she passed out.
Dean ran up to Hailey as Sam burst through the doors.
What the hell was that? He yelled, his ears ringing so loudly he couldn't hear anymore. He saw his brother kneel before Hailey's form and ran up to them.
Dean quickly checked for a pulse and was relieved to easily pick up her strong pulse. He picked her up and made his way to the cars, settling her in the passenger side of the Impala. He slammed the door shut and stomped back into the chapel. He grabbed all of the ingredients lying on the altar and walked back to the fire place. Sam walked in and saw Dean throwing everything in the fire.
What the hell are doing? Sam said making his way to his brother.
Dean! We could've still used the spell! We could've saved you! Sam said in shock as Dean added more wood to the fire.
You're kidding right? Did you not see what just happened? He barked.
But Dean, that was our only shot...
At what price Sam? I know you want to save me, hell I want to save me... But not like this. Not at the price of loses any of you. This was my choice, my price to pay. I'll be damned if she ever tries anything like this again.
Dean we've only got three weeks before...
I know... I'm not saying we don't fight. We'll find something else.
...And if we don't? Sam asked tears burning his eyes.
Then I go down, guns blazing, the way, I, want it... C'mon, let's go home. Said Dean grabbing the Colt before leaving the chapel.
