One month later…
"Demons lie all the time, right? Maybe she was lying" Sam said to Dean after he found out that a Crossroads Demon taunted Dean about John making a deal to save Dean's life with the Yellow Eyed Demon. Dean's hands gripped the wheel of the Impala tighter so that his knuckles turned white.
"Come on, is that really what you think?" Dean scoffed and Sam remained silent, not being able to lie to Dean.
"How could he do it?" Dean asked softly.
"He did it for you" Sam explained softly looking over at his older brother.
"Exactly" Dean said bitterly before continuing.
"How am I supposed to live with that? You know, the thought of him, wherever he is right now... I mean, he spent his whole life chasing that yellow-eyed son of a bitch. He should have gone out fighting. That was supposed to be his legacy, you know? Not bargaining with the damn thing. Not this" Dean added angrily as he focused on the road and not the pain in his chest.
"How many people do you think Dad saved total?" Sam asked trying to say that that was John's legacy.
"That's not the point, Sam" Dean replied shortly.
"Evan Hudson is safe Because of What Dad taught us. That's his legacy, Dean. Now, we're still here, man, so we got to keep going. For him" Sam explained passionately before sighing reluctantly.
"Hey Dean?" Sam asked finally working up the courage to ask the question that had been on his mind since Dean had told him about what happened with the Crossroad Demon.
"Yeah?" Dean said through gritted teeth still fuming about his worst nightmare being confirmed.
"When you were trapping that demon, you weren't... I mean, it was all a trick, right? You never considered actually making that deal, right?" Sam asked referring the deal the Crossroad Demon offered about bringing John back in exchange for Dean's soul after 10 years. Dean didn't answer but he didn't need too. Sam opened his mouth to say something… anything but closed it quickly not knowing what to say.
"I wish Kaylee was here" Sam muttered to himself but Dean heard it and sighed.
"Yeah, me too" Dean reluctantly agreed.
"I wonder what she is doing right now?" Sam asked sighing and Dean just shrugged but he was thinking the same thing. What was Kaylee doing right now? Was she happy with Kane?
…
The next day…
"This is useless!" Kaylee shouted angrily and stormed out of the abandoned warehouse they were taking refuge in. It didn't take them long to find and capture a demon and they had trapped him in a warehouse with a devil's trap. Kaylee had been torturing him for almost a month now, trying and failing to use more of her power and discover a new ability. Kane followed Kaylee outside and watched as she punched a hole into a nearby tree. He leant against the doorframe silently as Kaylee hammered away at the tree until it fell over. Kaylee turned around to face Kane breathing heavily. Kane simply raised an eyebrow and sighed.
"Happy now?" Kane asked slightly amused and slightly frustrated. Kaylee slid back first down the stump of the tree she just knocked over and hugged her knees annoyed. Kane walked over and sat down in front of her cross-legged, tapping his knee thinking about what to say next. Kaylee ran a hand through her hair while they sat in silence for several moments, both consumed with their own thoughts. Kane's were mostly how to help Kaylee and what their next move was. Kaylee's were a mixture of missing Sam and Dean, and what she needed to do to use more of her power then she already was.
"You want to give it a rest for a few days or give it another go?" Kane asked after he was sure Kaylee had calmed down enough to have a civil conversation. Kaylee clicked her tongue a few times and thought about the last month. No matter how hard she tried she just couldn't dig any deeper in her power and to make it worse Dean and Sam were answering her phone calls. Their phone wasn't even ringing, it's like they had no reception or something.
"Let's just rest a few days…" Kaylee said defeated as she pushed herself up off the floor and walked back into the warehouse with Kane following silently behind her. She walked in to find the demon still tied to the chair in the middle of the Devil's Trap. He was bent over and bleeding from the mouth and forehead. Kaylee was planning on ignoring him for a few days when suddenly he started chuckling darkly. Kaylee looked over at Kane and they turned towards the demon.
"What the hell are you laughing at chuckles?" Kane demanded folding his arms over his chest. He was wearing a sleeveless black shirt and knee length dark blue jeans. The demon looked up and his black demon eyes locked onto Kaylee's white demon eyes.
"Your mother would be so disappointed in you" 'Chuckles' mocked making Kaylee freeze in fury.
"What did you just say?" Kaylee demanded in blind rage while Kane watched confused.
"Kaylee? What's going on?" Kane asked quickly, trying to prepare for the worse but had no idea what was going on.
"I don't know what he is going on about. I never knew my mother" Kaylee explained simply, trying to play off the effect it was having on her.
"Well, I knew your mother… in fact, I still know your mother and if she could see you right now she would be disappointed and disgusted at who you became. She would want to kill your disgusting father for what he turned you into" 'Chuckles' continued while Kaylee pulled back her upper lip in a deep snarl. Kane stepped back worried as Kaylee's breathing deepened and quickened as she clenched her fist.
"Don't you dare speak about my father and you know nothing about my mother" Kaylee fumed angrily making 'Chuckles' laugh darkly and lick the blood that was coming from his lip.
"No sweetheart. You know nothing about your mother. But trust me, one day you will know just exactly who and what she is" 'Chuckles' mocked before Kane saw Kaylee's white eyes glow bright before she suddenly disappeared. Before Kane had a chance to comprehend what had happened Kaylee had reappeared behind 'Chuckles' and with one grown out werewolf claw she had slit the demon throat. Kane's mouth hung open in shock as the blood poured from the slit throat and Kaylee exorcised the demon and it was sucked back to hell by the Devil's Trap.
"Kaylee…" Kane said warily, stepping forward as her eyes stopped glowing and her breathing returned to normal. She blinked a few times before looking up at Kane and smiling. Smiling a genuine smile for the first time in a month. Kane smiled back weakly walking over to Kaylee and placing a hang on her shoulder.
"Now we are getting somewhere" Kane said proudly and pulling Kaylee in for a hug, trying to ignore the pleasure on her face when she split that demon's throat open.
