So here is the second part of The Magnificent Seven. This chapter kind of got away from me so I'm splitting the episode up into three parts. I hope you guys like it!

The next day they got wind of a murder that had happened in town and headed over to check it out. Bobby said he would handle the talking, he wanted the boys and Aubri to ask around to see what witnesses might have seen.

"God, is it always this easy?" Aubri asked, as she followed Dean into the store next to where the police were investigating, her eyes lingering on the blood on the pavement. It kind of felt like this murder had just landed in their laps.

"Yeah, easy." Dean said, his eyes locking on the blonde standing near the counter.

"Did you even hear what I said?" Aubri asked, following the direction he was looking in until she realized he had already found his next target, "Pig." She muttered under her breath as Dean walked towards the blond. Her face was hot and she tried to suppress the jealously that once again crept up inside of her. Why did she keep letting this kind of stuff get under her skin? She knew he was never going to want to talk about any sort of feelings she had towards him, so why keep holding on to them?

She busied herself with looking at some shoes that were on sale, while Dean chatted up the girl. They were cute, definitely not the kind of shoes a hunter would wear though. A hunter.That's how she thought of herself now. As crazy as it seemed, it also seemed right. She was a hunter, albeit a new hunter and definitely not the best, but she had only been at it for a few months so there was definitely a chance she could get better.

Someone walked past her and she turned to get a better look at them, letting out a low whistle as she did, "Looking good Bobby, I almost didn't recognize you without your hat. I was starting to think it was permanently fused to your skull." Aubri said, laughing quietly as Bobby straightened his tie in the mirror and muttered something to himself as his face got just a shade redder.

"What were you Bobby, a G-man?" Dean asked.

"Attorney for the DA's office." Bobby answered after clearing his throat. "Just spoke to the suspect."

"Yeah, so what do you think was she possessed or what?" Sam asked, perking up at the sign of something to go off of.

"I don't think so. I mean there's none of the usual signs, no black outs, no loss of control, totally lucid. She just really wanted those shoes. Spilled a glass of holy water on her just to be sure, nothing."

"Well maybe she's just some random wack-job." Dean said, eyes following the blonde he had been talking to before.

Aubri scoffed, "I love shoes as much as the next girl, but I can't even imagine wanting a pair of shoes so bad that I would bash someone's skull in for them. There's no way she just really wanted those shoes."

Bobby nodded, "I'd agree with Dean if it had just been an isolated incident, but first the family now this, I believe in a lot of things, but coincidence ain't one of them. Aubri's probably right."

"So we've got the family who would rather sit on their couch and waste away than walk into the next room to get food and the girl who wants the shoes someone else bought so badly that she bashes in her skull." Aubri mused, there had to be a connection, Bobby was right about no coincidences, it was right there in the back of her mind, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Well there's no trace of sulfur anywhere, nothing." Sam said with a sigh.

"Well, maybe something." Dean said, turning to look at the camera behind him. "See, I'm working." He said pointedly at Sam.

~TFS~

Aubri sat next to Sam, watching the surveillance video for any kind of clues. "Anything interesting?" Dean asked, leaning over her shoulder so that his breath blew past her ear as he spoke, sending shivers down her spine.

"Personal space Winchester." She muttered, giving him a slight shove, but not enough to really get him to move. "And no, not really. Other than the fact that the shoes that girl killed for aren't even that cute I've got nothing."

"What about him?" Dean asked, reaching over her shoulder and pointing at the guy who was walking up to the lady who killed for the shoes.

"I don't know yet, might just be a guy, or might be our guy." Sam said as he rewound the tape a little. When he pressed play, they all watched intently as the man walked up to the lady and gave a nod towards the girl who was killed. Sam turned his seat around and looked at Dean with a nod, "That's our guy."

~TFS~

It had gotten dark outside and Aubri was stretched out in the back of the car, her feet in Sam's lap, as Bobby and Dean eyed the bar in front of them. "What time is it?" She asked with a yawn.

Dean looked down at his watch, "Seven past midnight." He said, turning to look back at her and shaking his head at the sight of her and Sam. Sam was lucky; he didn't have to watch how he acted around Aubri. Dean couldn't get her out of his head half the time. That was part of what drove him after all of these other girls, a desperate attempt to get someone else in his head, if only for a few hours. Anything to get the memory of her looking up at him with hunger in her eyes as he had her pinned against the wall out of his head.

"You sure this is the place?" Bobby asked, turning to look at Dean questioningly.

"No, but it better be." Dean said, "Me and Aubs walked around this stupid town for hours showing people this guy's stupid mug, apparently he drinks at this stupid bar."

"Three different little old ladies told us how cute of a couple we made." Aubri said, trying to put a hint of disgust in her voice as she removed her feet from Sam's lap and sat up. "I've never had a problem with the elderly before, but I almost pushed that last lady who said it in front of a moving vehicle."

Sam leaned forward, "His name's Walter Rosen, from Oak Park just outside of Chicago. He went missing about a week ago."

"The night the Devil's gate opened?" Dean asked.

"Yeah."

Aubri's brow furrowed, "So he's possessed right?"

Sam shrugged, "It's a good bet, he walks up to someone, touches them and they go stark raving psycho or something?"

"The demon's that got out of the gate, they're gonna be able to do all kinds of things we ain't seen." Bobby said with a shake of his head.

"You mean demons we let out." Sam corrected.

Aubri reached over and grabbed Sam's arm, "No, demon's Jake let out. Jake and Yellow Eyes did this, not us. We took care of them and now we're cleaning up the mess they made. This wasn't our fault."

"Aubs hush." Dean said, spotting Walter getting out of the car that had just pulled in.

"Excuse you?" Aubri asked angrily, leaning forward in her seat.

Dean reached over and put his hand under her chin, sending a shiver down her spine, and turned her head slightly so she could see what he saw, "Look." He prompted. Removing his hand from Aubri's chin he shifted in his seat, getting ready to get out of the car, "All right, it's show time."

"Wait a minute." Bobby said, making Dean stop.

"What?"

"What did I just say? We don't know what to expect outta this guy, we should tail him til we know for sure." Bobby reasoned.

"Oh so he kills someone and we just sit here with our junk in our hands?" Dean asked impatiently.

Bobby turned, raising his voice slightly, "We're no good dead and we're not gonna make a move til we know what the score is."

Aubri shivered again as she watched the man entering the bar, but not the kind of shiver she got when Dean touched her. This shiver was the kind that preceded something bad happening. This just didn't feel right, a demon who could control someone just by touching them. She knew she was new to this, but that seemed like some heavy duty mojo he was packing, "Bobby's right Dean, I don't have a good feeling about this. We should just wait."

Dean rolled his eyes and sighed; about to say something before Sam interrupted, "I don't think that's an option."

"Why not?" Bobby asked. Sam nodded towards the front window, a slight grimace on his face. When everyone turned to see what he had seen, they groaned in unison at the sight of Tamara and Isaac walking towards the bar. "Balls." Bobby muttered as he got out of the car, followed by the others, and slowly led the way to the bar.

They stopped outside a window and peeked in, "What do we do?" Aubri asked quietly.

"We wait and see." He whispered.

They all watched as Isaac and Tamara sat at a table and then moments later Isaac got up and started following the Walter guy towards what was probably the restroom. When a large bald man grabbed Isaac, stopping him from following Walter to the bathroom, Aubri tensed, unsure of what they were going to do. She felt a hand land gently on her shoulder, giving it a light squeeze and looked back quickly to see Dean give her a tense smile while still keeping his eyes trained on the scene in the bar.

"We need to get in there." Sam said through gritted teeth, earning nods from Bobby and Dean.

They all stood up and Aubri followed them to the door, which they realized was locked once it didn't give under the pull Bobby gave the handle. "Stay back Aubs." Dean ordered as the three men began to ram into the doors with their shoulders.

Aubri could hear loud laughs and Tamara's screams so she went back to peek in through the window to see Isaac chugging a container of drain-o like he was a frat boy at a kegger. "Guys we have to get in there now!"

Bobby stepped back from the door and started hurrying towards the car, "Come on!"

They all followed him quickly, climbing into the car as Tamara's cries continued to reach their ears. Bobby revved the engine and, without any hesitation, punched the gas, sending the old car hurtling towards the front of the bar. Aubri threw her hands over her eyes as the car made contact with the wall and burst through, revealing Tamara surrounded by more demons than Aubri cared to count.

Slinging Holy Water left and right, they pushed the demons back. Aubri stayed close to Sam, but her eyes constantly made their way back to Dean, checking on him, making sure he didn't need any help. "Aubs grab her!" Sam shouted as he flung holy water on the demons holding onto Tamara.

"Come on, we've gotta get out of here!" Aubri yelled in Tamara's ear as she struggled to pull the slightly taller woman back to the car, a difficult task as Tamara was determined not to leave her husband lying dead on the floor. Aubri winced as she felt the woman's fingernails dig into the skin of her forearm. That was definitely going to leave a mark.

Sam finally was able to help, and he wrapped his arms around Tamara, shoving her into the car along with Aubri. "Let's go!" He shouted out to Bobby and Dean as he slammed his door shut.

Aubri shifted in her seat, trying desperately to find Dean in the chaos outside of the car, "Dean come on!" She shouted when she saw him leading Walter back to the trunk of the car. Her heart stopped when he went to fling holy water on the possessed man and nothing came out of his flask he was holding. Before she even realized what she was doing, she was out of the car and next to Dean, flinging the last of the holy water in her flask onto the possessed man.

Dean punched him in the face one time, for good measure and just because he wanted to, and flung him into the trunk where he was held captive by a Devil's Trap. "Get your ass back in the car Aubs." He shouted, as he snaked his arm around her waist, practically tossing her back into the back seat with Sam and Tamara before hopping in the passenger seat. "Go, go, go!" He yelled, slamming his door shut as Bobby hit the gas.

~TFS~

Aubri sat at the table, listening to Sam and Tamara yelling at each other about whether or not to go back as Dean dabbed hydrogen peroxide on the scratches on her forearms. "Ow." She winced and sucked in a breath through her teeth as the scratches burned.

"She got you good there Blondie." Dean said shaking his head.

"I can't say I blame her." She said with a sigh. "We made her leave her husband lying on the floor. It's not like she wasn't going to go without a fight." Aubri couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She knew that there was no way Isaac had survived what happened in the bar, but just leaving his body there, that was cold.

"Don't beat yourself up about it Aubs." Dean said quietly, placing his hand over hers. "Hey, look at me." He ordered softly, forcing Aubri to slowly look up at him and reveal the guilt in her eyes. "There wasn't anything we could do Aubs, he was dead."

Aubri nodded slowly, "Yeah I get that, I do, I just know that if it were you back there… or Sam, I'd be fighting just as hard as she is now to get back to you."

Dean's eyes locked with hers for a moment and he nodded ever so slightly. He understood what she was saying. Sure, when it wasn't someone you cared about it was easier to leave and not look back, but if it had been Sam lying on the floor back there, or, God forbid, Aubri in the same position, he knew he would have fought to the death just trying to get to them. Reflexively, his hand that was over hers tightened its grip just a little, as he reassured himself that she was safe.

Blushing, Aubri slowly pulled her hand out from under his and broke eye contact as Tamara stormed past the table they were sitting at. "I'm going back to get him." She shouted at Sam.

"I'll go with her." Dean said, quietly as he stood up.

"Dean no." Aubri stood up, raising a hand as if to stop him before letting it fall back to her side.

"It's a suicide mission." Sam argued, "You guys can't do this, you'll get killed."

"I'm dead already." Dean said with a shrug.

Sam huffed angrily, "And what are you going to do when you get there? How are you going to kill them? You can't shoot them, you can't stab them, they're not just gonna line up to get exorcised!"

"I don't care!" Tamara let out an anguished scream that caused Aubri to wince.

"You don't even know how many of them there are!" Sam yelled right back at her.

Bobby walked up to them; book in hand, "Yeah we do." He said, silencing them. "There's seven."

"No fucking way." Aubri said, realizing where Bobby was about to go with this just like anyone with a Bachelor's degree in religious studies would.

"Do you have any idea what we are up against?" The old man asked violently.

"No." Dean said, eyebrows raised questioningly.

"It's the Seven Deadly Sins." Aubri said breathlessly. "That's impossible."

"Oh it's possible sweetheart." Bobby said with a shake of his head, "They're here, live and in the flesh."

"What's in the box?" Dean asked, unable to stop himself.

Aubri shook her head, "Not the time Dean."

Dean flinched slightly as Bobby shoved the book he had been holding at him, "What's this?" he asked.

"Vince Fields' Classification of Demons." Bobby answered, reading off the title of the book Aubri had been leafing through earlier. She had had the answer in her hands and hadn't even known it.

"He ID'd the seven sins Dean. Said they weren't just human vices, that they were actual Devils." Aubri explained, taking the book gingerly from his hands and opening it to the proper page before handing it back to him.

"The family was touched by Sloth." Sam said as it dawned on him what was happening. "And the shopper…"

"Was green with Envy over those ugly shoes." Aubri said disgustedly as she looked at the man in the other room. Her stomach did an excited flip, she couldn't help but nerd out a little bit over the fact that one of the Seven Deadly Sins was in the next room. She slowly walked into the other room, head cocked slightly to the side as she got closer to the possessed man strapped into the chair. No one had noticed her leave the room because they were too busy listening to Bobby put Tamara in her place, so she had Envy all to herself for a few moments.

Pulling out her knife, she held on tightly to the handle and looked up, making sure to stay on the outside of the Devil's Trap as she got closer. "Isn't that cute?" Envy said with a chuckle. "Whatcha gonna do with that little pig-sticker sweetheart?"

Aubri took a shaky breath, "Nothing, yet, it's not like it would do any good anyways. I just wanted to get a better look at you." She knew this was a stupid idea, being in a room with one of the Seven Deadly Sins by herself, but her curiosity got the better of her.

"Like what you see?" Envy asked, leering at her in a way that made her skin crawl.

She shrugged, looking down at her knife in an attempt to hide how nervous she was. "Not really. I mean I honestly expected a little more. I learned about you guys in school and expected something big and scary, but you're kinda pathetic looking. Couldn't you have picked someone a little more intimidating to possess?"

"Oh aren't you a little firecracker?" Envy said with a chuckle. "That's good, you're gonna have to be with what Big Guns has planned for you. You better be watching your back, it's got a target painted on it."

Envy chuckled and over the pounding of her heart Aubri heard footsteps approaching her just before a hand on her shoulder spun her around, "What the hell do you think you are doing in here by yourself Aubri?" Dean asked through gritted teeth. After Bobby had finished yelling at Tamara he had realized she wasn't in the room anymore, a realization that had sent him into a moment of panic until he saw her in the other room with the demon. He felt a glimmer of pride when he heard her talking shit to the son of a bitch, calling him pathetic, but that pride was overwhelmed by the thought that if that thing broke out of the Devil's Trap she could have been seriously hurt and he wouldn't have been able to stop it.

"Relax Dean." Aubri said rubbing his shoulder reassuringly, getting momentarily distracted by the hard muscles she could feel tensed just under the fabric of his shirt. "I just wanted to get a better look. I learned about these guys in some of my classes and I got curious, sorry." Her hand shook slightly as she kept it on his shoulder, what had that thing meant by she had a target on her back?

Dean shook his head, "Just don't do that again."

Envy continued to chuckle as the rest of them filed into the room, "Why are you here?" Sam asked, moving to stand in front of Envy, "What are you after?"

Moving to stand slightly in front of Aubri, as if shielding her from the demon, he hadn't missed the threat it had given her, "He asked you a question. What do you want?"

The possessed man chuckled until Dean flung a few drops of Holy Water on him, causing steam to rise of his skin. "We already have what we want." It said, panting slightly.

"What's that?" Aubri asked, moving out from behind Dean to stand next to him.

"We're out." Envy answered, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "We're free. Thanks to you, my kind are everywhere. I am Legion, for we are many." It said with another chuckle that sent chills down Aubri's spine, causing her to shift ever so slightly behind Dean's protective form again. "Me, I'm just celebrating, having a little fun."

"Fun?" Sam asked flatly.

"Yeah, fun. See, some people crochet, others golf, me, I like to see people's insides… on their outside." Envy leered at Tamara, looking her up and down as it spoke.

Tamara approached Envy, "I'm gonna put you down like a dog."

"Please?" It said, looking up at her, challenging her. "You really think you're better than me? Which one of you can cast the first stone? Huh? What about you Dean? Practically a walking billboard of Gluttony and Lust. And Tamara, all that Wrath, oh, it's the reason you and Isaac became hunters in the first place isn't it? It's so much easier to drink in the rage than to face what really happened all those years ago." It said tauntingly.

Aubri flinched as Tamara reared back, punching Envy in the face with a yell. She got in a couple of hits before Bobby and Dean pulled her back. The possessed man laughed, "My point exactly. And you call us sins. We're not sins man!" It looked at Dean pointedly, "We're your natural human instinct and you can repress and deny us all you want, but the truth is, you are just animals. Horny, greedy, hungry, violent animals and you know what? You'll be slaughtered like animals too." Envy looked around before settling back into his chair, "The others, they're coming for me."

"Maybe," Dean said with a smirk, "but they're not gonna find you, cause you'll be in Hell. Someone send this clown packing."

"My pleasure." Tamara said, stepping forward,

Dean turned to walk out of the room, grabbing onto Aubri's hand to pull her with him. She stood her ground though, pulling her hand out of his, "I wanna watch." She said quietly. She had done all this studying, gone through all of that school learning about this stuff, there was no way in hell she was going to miss her first opportunity to watch an exorcism.

"Aubs come on." Dean insisted.

She shook her head determinedly, "I'll be fine."

Dean sighed before leaving the room, Sam and Bobby following closely behind him. Aubri moved to stand against the wall behind Tamara, eyes locked on the man in the chair as he began to thrash around in the chair, yelling in pain as Tamara chanted the exorcism in Latin. Her eyes widened in horror as black smoke poured out of the man and disappeared in a flash. The room shook slightly as the last of the smoke, the demon, disappeared and then possessed man's head flopped forward. Aubri stood against the wall, frozen, as Tamara snapped the book shut and walked out of the room.

With a shake of her head, Aubri walked towards the man and knelt down in front of him as she heard Tamara from the other room, "Demon's gone, he didn't make it."

With a shaking hand, Aubri reached up and put her fingers to the man's neck, searching for a pulse. When she found none, she jerked her hand back and let out a shuddering breath as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Is it always like that?" She asked quietly, trying to keep the tears she felt welling up in her eyes at bay, "Do they always die?"

Dean shook his head and pulled her up to her feet, wrapping an arm around her protectively, "No, sometimes they make it."

"I just, I didn't think it would be like that." Aubri said, looking up at him with wide eyes. "I mean I knew it wasn't going to be nice, but I just didn't think the demon would look like that and I thought he would be ok." She said, nodding towards the dead man in the chair.

"You shouldn't have watched." Dean said as he pulled her into the other room.

Aubri set her jaw as she pulled away from him, "I needed to watch Dean. I'm in this whether you like it or not. I get that you don't really like having me around and that I'm new to this and not much help with anything but research, but until we find a way to get me home, this is my life and I need to learn how to handle this stuff."

Dean looked at her, seeing the determination mixed with the fear in her eyes, "You're right," he sighed, running a hand over his hair. "And it's not that I don't want you here Aubs, it's not that bad having you around, it's just this life." He gestured around him, "I wouldn't wish this life on anyone. Now if what joker said was right, we've got six more juiced up demons headed our way and we've gotta get ready for them. So are you good?"

Aubri sniffed quietly and nodded, letting it sink in that Dean had just said he didn't mind having her around, "Yeah, yeah I'm good."

So this chapter was kind of long and I'm just going to go ahead and warn you that the next one might be a little on the short side, but I just needed to split them here. I hope you guys liked it and if I can get 7 reviews on this chapter I will guarantee an update by next Sunday since I don't have any big tests or papers this week. As always review at will!
