Chapter 9
In the living room Alanya was preparing his own little fun. "Let's see now," he said. "Whose going to be first?" Jack, possessed by Alanya, walked over to where Tony and Bryan were still tied. He looked at Bryan. "I think you," he said and cut the ropes off of his feet. He jerked him up and shoved him down hard beside the fireplace. With his hands cuffed behind him he couldn't break his fall and he landed hard on his arm. He heard a pop and cried out in pain. Beads of sweat popped out on his forehead and ran silently down his face. Tears sprang to his eyes. He didn't need a doctor to know it was broken.
"Bryan!" yelled Tony, "What is it?" He looked up at Jack, prepared to jump to his feet, and go over to his partner but the look he gave him made his blood run cold. That, plus the fact that his feet were still tied, prevented him from racing to Bryan's side. He stayed where he was. He looked nervously at his partner, wanting desperately to go over to him, but knowing he'd better stay put.
"I fell on my arm," said Bryan. "I think it's broken. I heard it pop." He began panting and sweating even more. He winced as the pain became excruciating.
"Good," said Jack. "That'll be fun."
"What," asked Bryan and wished he hadn't said anything. Jack pulled him up to his feet. He spun him around and removed the cuffs, then, grinning sadistically, he twisted the broken arm up behind his back. Bryan screamed in pain.
"Yep," said Jack with an evil gleam in his eyes. "It's broken." He twisted it farther up his back and Bryan thought he would pass out from the pain that was shooting through it.
"Jack," he said and lashed out. He kicked him and knocked him down. He jumped back up and threw Bryan against the fireplace!
"Big mistake Bryan," he said, as he fell to the floor again.
"Bryan!" yelled Tony.
Jack jerked him to his feet and dragging him, shackled his leg to the wall. He walked over to a bag. "Remember this," he said as he took out a couple of railroad spikes and a hammer.
"No," yelled Bryan terrified. The sweat now poured from his face as he stared at the items that the demon was holding. He did remember them. He remembered them all to well. "I'm sorry. Please don't," he pleaded but Jack walked over to him and pushed him back against the wall. He placed his hand against it and positioned the spike. Bryan tried to fight, but Alanya pinned him there with only a look.
"Jack!" yelled Tony. "DON"T!" He was also terrified. This was 5 months ago all over again. He shuddered as he remembered the barn and Alanya pinning Bryan to a stall with spikes. He was scared for his partner. He was scared for them all.
"Come on Jack. My arm's already broken. Please don't do that," pleaded Bryan. He could still feel the pain of that event even today. He didn't want it to happen again.
"Jack," yelled Tony again. "NO! Fight him. Don't let Alanya do that man. Come on!"
"Shut up Tony, or you'll be next," said Jack turning his attention back to Bryan. He could feel the young cop's fear. It fueled him with power. He fed off fear and hatred. Right now he was having a feast. It made the demon stronger. Alanya could all but taste the emotions of the two humans and it made him happy.
"First thing you're going to learn is to do what you're told and not cause problems," said Alanya. Bryan tried to struggle.
"Don't move Bryan and I'll only do one," said Jack.
"God no. Please," said Bryan but knew that all the begging and pleading would not even phase the demon. He was going to do it. It was inevitable. He closed his eyes waiting for the blow. When it came, it was excruciating. Bryan screamed in agony as Jack hammered the spike into Bryan's hand, and then into the wall. He couldn't stand it . The pain was too much and he passed out.
"Bryan! OH GOD!" yelled Tony as blood poured from his partners hand. "What the hell are you doing? JACK!!!!"
Jack jerked like he'd been slapped and looked at Bryan. For a few minutes he just stood there dazed. He didn't know where he was or what he was doing there. He didn't know how long he'd been there. After a while, however, his head cleared and he knew where he was. He looked at Bryan and then at Tony and remembered.
"Oh my God," he said in shock and ran over to him. "Tony please tell me I didn't do that to him."
"It wasn't you Jack," said Tony. "It was Alanya controlling you." Jack shook his head. It didn't make him feel one bit better.
"Bryan," he said trying hard to keep Alanya pushed down. Quickly he removed the cuffs from Tony's hands and untied his feet. "Help me," he said and took the hammer. "HOLD IT," said Tony and knocked it from his hands. "Don't touch him," he warned. Jack froze.
"Tony it's me. It's Jack. I need your help. I need you to hurry. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to hang on. Please!" He pleaded with all that was in him. He had to make Tony see that it was him before it was to late. "PLEASE!" He pleaded for the second time. "HURRY! Before it's to late!"
"Jack?" asked Tony cautiously, looking at his friend's face. His eyes were focused. Tony blew out a breath. For now it really was Jack.
"It's me Tony. Please help me before it's to late. I can feel Alanya trying to come back. We don't have much time. I have to set that arm and stopped his hand from bleeding and you two have to get the hell out of here."
"We're not going to leave the others," said Tony but picked up the hammer. "That includes you too. We will not leave any of you." He walked over to where Bryan was.
Jack took the shackle off his leg and Tony and Jack together pried his hand loose. Tony caught him as he fell in his arms.
"Bryan," he said laying him down. Bryan groaned and opened his eyes. They got wide when he saw Jack. Thinking he was still Alanya, he kicked him again, sending him sprawling. "Stay the hell away from me." he yelled fearfully.
"Bryan, he's Jack. Let him help you," said Tony.
"No!" yelled Bryan. Tony grabbed a hold of his shoulders and shook him. "Bryan, he's ok right now, but he needs to check you out before Alanya comes back." Bryan looked at Jack. Really looked, and saw his friend. He relaxed a little as Jack walked back over to him.
"Let me see," said Jack as he gently took his arm. Bryan cried out as he pulled it closer to his side.
"Easy." said Jack. He felt guilty as hell, even though he knew he wasn't the one that hurt his friend. He still felt guilty. He grabbed a washcloth and wrapped it around Bryan's hand, tight, hoping it would stop the bleeding, and then looked closer at the arm. Bryan winced as Jack moved it.
"Tony, I need to make a splint. I need some wood or something to stabalize this arm." Tony looked at Jack clearly not wanting to leave Bryan. Jack understood.
"It's ok Tony. You stay with him. I'll go find something, but we've got to hurry. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to hold Alanya back." Tony nodded and Jack went to find something to use for a splint. Tony could only hope that Jack would still be Jack when he got back. He looked down at Bryan.
"How ya doing," he asked his partner.
"Never better," said Bryan sarcastically. "You need to go check on Sam, Dean and John while you can Tony. I'll be ok, until you get back."
"Ok,"said Tony, "But I'm not leaving you here. You're coming with me." When Bryan tried to protest, Tony cut him off. "No," he said. "I'm not leaving you here by yourself. I don't know if Jack's going to be Jack or Alanya when he comes back. Think you can stand?"
"Yeah, I'm not an invalid. I just have a broken arm and peirced hand. I wouldn't mind a little help though," said Bryan trying to make Tony feel better. Tony grinned. "Glad to see you still have you're wonderful personality," said Tony. He understood what Bryan was doing and for both their sakes, played along.
"Shut up Tony and help me."
He grinned again as he helped Bryan to his feet. He winced as Tony tried to support his arm. He swayed when he stood up.
"You ok," asked Tony and Bryan nodded. Together they went to check on the others.
