Chapter 39

John went straight into his room that he shared with Tony and Bryan. They had thought it'd be easier to put Jack in with Sam and Dean because of the condition Dean had been in. He sat down on the bed and placed his head in his hands sqeezing his eyes shut.

"This can't be happening," he thought. "Not again." It was the last thing he remembered.

"John," said Bryan coming into the room. "You ok?" He nodded but laid down not speaking. Bryan sat in the chair by the widow and looked at John's back. Tony came inside.

"How is he?" asked Bryan.

"He's asleep," said Tony and sat down by his partner.

"How's Sam," asked Bryan again. He was really worried about Sam.

"Scared, angry, frustrated and ready to snap," replied Tony and sighed, looking at his partner.

"Oh God Bryan. I cuffed him to the bench. He couldn't get away. I practically handed him over to Alanya on a platter."

"He would have left Tony," replied Bryan.

Tony shook his head. "I cuffed him to a bench Bryan and left him alone!"

"Tony you didn't know Alanya was out there," said Bryan. "Don't blame yourself for what happened."

"Who am I suppose to blame!" cried Tony.

"How about blaming Alanya Tony," asked Bryan. Tony didn't answer.

"He would have left Tony," said John. Tony and Bryan both turned their heads toward John. He still had his back to them. Bryan didn't think he sounded right.

"What?" asked Tony.

"He would have left," said John again. "You were trying to protect him. He's not going to hold that against you."

"What about you John," said Tony. He didn't answer for a minute. Tony didn't know if it was because he was asleep or angry, but either way he had to know.

"John," he asked.

"I don't hold it against you either," said John fnally. "Sam wanted to be alone, but if you had left him, he would have ran away. You protected him."

"I tied him up," said Tony increduously.

"Did you know Alanya was out there," asked John grinning.

"No," answered Tony, "I swear."

"Then don't worry about it. He's okay now. You both need to try to get some sleep," said John.

Tony and Bryan looked at each other and thought the same thing. This wasn't John. He was to calm. The real John would have been furious. Something definitely wasn't right.

"John?" said Bryan. "Are you sure your ok?" John didn't answer. Bryan got up and walked over to where he was laying. He closed his eyes, as Bryan came around to face him, so he couldn't see them. He shrugged and him and Tony decided to go to bed. John opened his eyes and waited. They were black and unfocused.

John felt like he was in black mire. He fought to reach the surface, but couldn't make it. Every time he tried, Alanya would push him right back down. Alanya now had control of John's mind and body and he couldn't break through. He fought to reach the surface again, but it was to thick and he sank back down. He felt like he was in quick sand. He couldn't gain any ground.

"Leave my children alone Alanya," said John. "I won't let you hurt them or their friends."

"What are you going to do to stop me John? You can't get out of the mire. I'm going to destroy them and they're going to think it was you."

"They'll know better!" said John fearfully.

"I don't know about that," said Alanya. "Sam didn't. He believed Dean had turned against him. Matter of fact, I already have Dean. I thinkd I'll take Sam next, but first I'll remove the obstacle out of my way."

"What obstacle?" asked John.

"Jack. He's becoming a nusance. For somebody who never wanted his powers he sure is using then a lot. He's getting on my nerves."

"Leave them alone!" yelled John. "I'm warning you! Don't mess with my kids or there friends."

"I know you're not threatening me John, are you?"

"Yes I am. I'll kill you if you hurt my boys!" yelled John.

Alanya laughed. "I'm not going to hurt your boys, John. You are." Alanya's eyes began to glow and John cried out as the pain came, and all of a sudden he was out of the mire and chained to the ceiling. He was breathing very hard as the pain in his head increased. Lothos came up and stood right in front of him, and grinned and evil grin.

"Miss me John," he asked.

"No!" said John knowing this was not good.

"Yes John. You locked me in that room. I couldn't feed. Do you know the pain I went through before I was forced to go back to hell? My brother brought me back,
and now I'm supremely pissed. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT JOHN!" said Lothos screaming. John shook his head.

Lothos grabbed a knife. "Don't!" said John.

"My brother has taken control of you. Now I'm here to seal the pact. To make sure you don't get away." He took the knife and cut John's throat. He winced and began to fight, but it was no use. Lothos licked the blood off and then clamped down and drank. He could feel what little bit of his conscious that he had left slip and he gasped. Lothos grabbed the sides of his head and fire shot through his brain. John screamed.

"Stop!" yelled John, but Lothos continued and John went totally under their control. . He was possessed now by both Alanya and Lothos. The two demons grinned at each other.

"He'll destroy his own family. He'll destroy their friends. This is turning out to be a wonderful day," said Alanya and Lothos agreed.

"I want Sam first, John," said Alanya. I want him here. I also want Dean's body, and I want you to take care of Jack. You have both of us inside of you. Understand." John nodded and stared straight ahead in a trance. Lothos and Alanya grinned again. Yes it's going to be a wonderful day.

John sat up and glared at Tony and Bryan. They were both asleep. He glared at Bryan and loathed him because he knew that Alanya was still inside John. Bryan was to smart for his own good sometimes. "I'll get you both soon," he said. "First things first." He grabbed a gun and walked into the room that Sam and Dean were sharing with Jack.

He went over to Sam and shook his youngest son. Sam's eyes shot opened and he saw his father.

"Dad," asked Sam confused. "What is it?"

"Come with me Sam," he said. Sam got to his feet. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see," replied John. "I want you to get your brother too."

"I don't think that's a good idea dad. He's sick again. He needs to stay with Jack."

"He's going with us Sammy," said John. "I'm not leaving you here alone."

"We're not alone," replied Sam. Jack, Bryan and Tony are here. They're good people."

"Good people? Tony tied you to a bench Sam," said John. "He gave you to Alanya. Now we're leaving. Get your brother."

"No dad. Dean needs to stay here. He's sick. Jack's a doctor. He needs to stay with Jack. What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" Sam began to get nervous.

"Get your brother Sam. Now!" said John punctuating every word. He was getting angry and Sam didn't understand why.

"No dad. What is wrong with you? Dean is staying here and so am I."

"I'll tell you what's wrong with him Sam," said Jack. "He's not your father. That's Alanya. He's still after you." He slowly got to his feet prepared to face off with Alanya again. He hoped he would live through it.

"You are not taking him," said Jack. "Get over here Sam. Now!"

"What?" asked Sam. He looked at his father. His eyes were clear but they were unfocused. Sam began to back away, but John grabbed him.

"Where are you going Sam?" he asked.

"NO!" said Sam. "Where is my father? What the hell have you done to him?" John took out the gun and pointed it at his son. He glared at Jack.

"You're becoming a pain Jack. Do you know that?" said John. He turned Sam around to face Jack and put his arm around his neck. He pointed the gun at Jack. "A real pain," said John.

"Let him go Alanya," said Jack, getting angry. John could feel Jack's power. He grinned and pulled the trigger, shooting Jack in the leg. Jack cried out and fell as blood poured from the wound.

"JACK!" yelled Sam and hit John hard in the ribs with his elbow. John grunted and released his hold on Sam. He tried to rush over to Jack, but John grabbed him again.

"Dad please!" yelled Sam. Tony and Bryan heard the gunshot and rushed into the room just as John was about to shoot Jack again.

"NO!" yelled Tony and stood in front of Jack. "Let Sam go John! You are about to hand him over to those demons! Do you understand that!"

John had Sam in front of him. He had his gun at Sam's head and a fire in his eyes that was not human.

"I knew it!" said Bryan. "John fight him!" John wanted to. He tried, but he couldn't break free. It was about to kill him to do what he was about to do, but he couldn't stop them. Jack struggled to his feet and was about to pit wills against Alanya again, but Alanya placed the gun to Sam's head!

"If you try it Jack," said John. "I'll kill him! Understand!" Bryan took a step but Alanya threw him back and pinned Tony! "Sam is coming with me! So is Dean!"

"No!" said Sam. "Leave my brother alone. Please! I'll go with you. I'll do what you say, but please don't take Dean."

"I already have Dean Sam, but he needs his body," said John.

"Alanya!" said Jack but John pinned Sam also and slammed Jack into a wall! "Don't try it Jack. I'm warning you. I will kill him. Him and his brother are coming with me and you are not going to do a thing! Do you understand!"

"I will not let you take them Alanya," said Jack wincing. Alanya placed his hand on Jack's head and he passed out. He took the gun and shot him again. This time in the arm!

"What are you doing?" yelled Sam looking in shock at Jack bleeding on the floor.

"Shut up Sam! You get your brother or I swear to you I will kill him. Right here and right now!"

"Okay!" said Sam. "Just please don't hurt him." He went to pick Dean up, but he was stll to weak.

"I can't," he said. John shook his head and picked him up like he was nothing.

"Let's go!" said John. He released Tony and Bryan.

"Do not follow me, but Bryan lunged at John knocking him down. He dropped Dean and Sam got free but John was furious. He got up and picked Bryan up with one hand and got in his face. Tony took a swing also, but John shoved Bryan back and grabbed Tony's hand in midflight and squeezed. He had the grip of a 100 men thought Tony as he was forced to his knee's. John's eyes began to glow and Tony's head felt like it would explode. His heart began beating to fast.

"Dad stop it!" yelled Sam and launched himself at his father only to be thrown back! Tony thought he would die, but Alanya released him and he lay gasping. "STAY!" he said and Tony couldn't move. John turned on Bryan and grinned. Bryan shook his head and began to back up. John grabbed his broken arm and began to caress it. He didn't say a word. He didn't have to, thought Bryan. He tried to get away but Alanya looked into Bryan's eyes and he was transfixed. He couldn't move. Bryan closed his eyes as John grabbed it and twisted it behind his back. Bryan screamed as pain exploded in it then John grabbed his wrist and snapped it in two. Bryan screamed again an fell, the pain becoming unbearable. Tears sprang to his eyes and spilled over. Bryan began to shake all over. He had never felt so much pain in his life.

"God!" yelled Bryan, and Sam just stared in shock at what had just happened.

"NO!" yelled Tony but still couldn't move. He eyed his partner who looked like he would pass out any minute. Jack was still unconscious and bleeding profusly from his shoulder and leg.

"GET DEAN, SAM! NOW! OR ELSE!" screamed Alanya.

"Okay," said Sam. "Just don't hurt anybody else." He picked Dean's body up and John shoved him out the door toward the woods. Tony was released and took off after them.

"Sam!" he yelled but they were gone just that quick. He ran back inside and over to his partner who was lying on the floor unable to move.

"Easy Bryan," he said. Bryan cried out as Tony moved his arm back into alignment. "Stay here," he said and went over to Jack.

"Jack," said Tony inspecting the gunshot wounds. "Please Jack," he said. He moaned and opened his eyes.

"Where are they," asked Jack trying to get up. Tony pushed him back down gently.

"They're gone Jack. John took Sam and Dean. He's not John anymore," said Tony.

"I know. Alanya has control of him," said Jack. He squeezed his eyes shut. "I've got to get up. I've got to..." but that was as far as he got. He passed out again. Tony got some bandages and applied pressure dressings to Jack's arm and leg to stop the bleeding. He rushed back over to Bryan who didn't say a word. He held his arm and just sat there.

"We're going to get them back Bryan," said Tony and Bryan nodded but he didn't know how.
