Chapter 16

"That was so touching," said Alanya again, sarcastically. "I can't believe you got out of that one Jack. I was sure John would kill you all by himself." He turned to John.

"Don't move," he said and John was pinned to the spot where he was standing.

Alanya grabbed Jack and told Bryan to go sit back down, which Bryan did. He released John and with his mind shoved him toward Bryan. "Tie him back up," he said and reluctantly John took Bryan's good arm and cuffed it back to the bed frame, but left his broken arm free.

He cuffed Jack's hands to the ceiling and threw John back, sending him crashing to the other side of the room! He walked over and looked down at him with hatred. "Stay!" he said and John could not move. Alanya grinned evilly and plunged his hand into John's chest. He literally grabbed John's heart and squeezed it. Blood seeped around his fist.

John screamed in agony. He thought he was going to die! He could feel Alanya's hand inside him as he continued to squeeze his heart.

"NO!" yelled Jack pulling at the chains. "Alanya stop!" he said.

"How does it feel John," said Alanya. John screamed again as his heart began beating very irratically. "You failed. You were suppose to kill Jack when you found out. Now you'll have to pay!" John began to hyperventilate.

"Alanya," yelled Bryan trying to struggle again. "You are going to kill him!"

"Yes I know," said Alanya as he continued to squeeze. Jack concentrated and knocked him backwards with his mind. The chains fell off Jack's hands and he faced off with Alanya once again.

"Leave them alone," yelled Jack. "You're not inside me anymore Alanya. I can fight you now!"

Alanya threw Jack hard against the wall using only his mind and dazed him. He crumpled to the floor. Alanya clasped his hands together and lifted them up. A fire ball formed in his hand and he hurled it at Jack who jumped away just in time! The fire ball crashed against the wall where Jack had been only seconds before. Jack faced him again and pushed him back.

Alanya looked past Jack to Bryan. He bore his eyes into Bryan's head.

"No!" yelled Bryan as pain shot through him.

"Stop!" said Jack.

"I'm going to kill him Jack," he said and Jack heard Bryan scream again!

"Wait!" said Jack. "Please."

"Behave yourself," said Alanya. Bryan felt like his head would explode and Alanya just made the pain worse.

"Ok Alanya, Ok." said Jack and stopped fighting. "Please!"

"Alanya released Bryan who slumped back against the wall and struggled to catch his breathe. Alanya knocked Jack backwards again and Jack went sprawling. He hit his head and fell unconsious to the ground.

He lifted John up with his mind and slammed him into a chair, cuffing his hands behind him. He was barely conscious himself.

Alanya turned on Bryan who tried to back away. He knocked his head against the wall then grabbing his broken arm, twisted it unmercifully. Bryan screamed as pain exploded in his arm and his head felt like it was in a vice.

"Does anybody else want to try to be a damn hero!" yelled Alanya and nobody said a word.

"I didn't think so!" he said.

In the attic, Sam was still dazed. He got up and walked over to Tony and then back to Dean.

"Sam," he said. "You ok?" Sam didn't answer. He just stared at his brother. Dean shook his head.

"Sam, we've got to help Tony. I know you're in there. I know you can understand me. He needs help."

Sam looked at Tony. He didn't know him either, but the voice of Dean in his head was telling him that they were the enemies. "He's not going anywhere."

"Sam please. Let me help him. He tried to rise to his feet but Sam pushed him back down.

"What are you doing? What now? I'm your brother Sam. I need your help." Dean knew that Lothos still had control of him. He never knew when Sam was going to try to kill himself or kill him. Sam just stared at his brother. Dean used the only thing he could.

"You can't torture him if he's dead, Lothos," he said. Lothos thought about that one for a minute and made a decision.

"Damn, you're right." he said. Sam walked over and grabbed Dean around the throat and he began to choke.

"If you try to get away Dean, I'll kill you, Tony and you're brother. Understand! Don't try anything."

"I won't. I promise," he said and Sam let him go. He ran back over to Tony and knealt down, feeling for a pulse. It was very weak.

"Tony," said Dean. Tony groaned and opened his eyes again. He was very pale thought Dean, but he still had not bled anymore. Dean looked at his brother. Sam still didn't know who he was but right now he was in the kill Dean mode instead of the kill himself mode. "Sam I need Jack." Sam nodded.

"Stand up," he said to his brother and Dean did as he was told. Sam shoved him over to a pole that had a thick metal ring on it. He cuffed Dean's hand to it. "I'll be back. You better still be chained to that pole when I return," said Sam and Dean nodded. Sam went down to the basement and looked at Alanya.

"Why did you leave the human's body," he asked.

"I figured it would be more fun this way. What is it?"

"Tony needs Jack," said Lothos and looked at Jack who was just now coming around.

"Why?" asked Alanya.

"Because he's lost a lot of blood and I'm not through with him yet. I haven't even began to torture him and I would like it better if he were alive."

Alanya nodded and Lothos jerked Jack to his feet.

"Bring him back," said Alany. "I'm just getting started with him." Lothos grinned and nodded.

"Come on human," he said and shoved Jack out the door and up to the attic.

I'm going to free Sam from Lotho's, thought Jack. I hope he lives through the process.
