Chapter 8: Evil Angel

Dean was dreaming again, this time of Sedona. She was standing next to a puddle of water, which she seemed to be afraid of, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was down to her bra and underwear, and she looked so fearful. Sam was on the other side of the puddle, reaching out to her and saying, "Come to me."

"I can't!" Sedona shouted.

"Yes you can. Come to me," Sam said.

"I can't!" Sedona shouted again.

"You can do it, I know you can," Sam said.

Sedona finally jumped over the puddle and into his arms. Sam held her close, saying, "Now you're safe."

Then he took a knife and stabbed her in the back.

Dean woke up out of the dream, only to find Randall standing behind Sedona, who was asleep at the table of the motel room. Dean reached for his gun and pointed it at Randall, saying, "You get the hell away from her."

"Relax, hot shot, I'm not here to bother her," Randall said.

He tapped Sedona's shoulder, and she woke up saying, "Bubbles!"

She realized where she was and regrouped, then she saw Randall and asked, "What do you want?"

"I can't talk to you with him here," Randall said, pointing at Dean.

"If I can spend all night with him, he can stay," Sedona said.

Dean got a look on his face, seeing that Sedona was trying to make Randall jealous. It was working. He told her, "It's cute that you would make stupid jokes at a time like this!"

"It doesn't look like a bad time to me," Sedona said.

"Don't be stupid just because he's here," Randall said, looking at Dean.

"I'm standing right here, you could just say it to my face," Dean said.

"I could kill you in an instant, fallen angel," Randall replied.

"I would like to see you try," Dean said.

"Would you two just stop! What's the damn problem!" Sedona shouted.

"A piece of Pandora's soul was awakened again," Randall said.

"Yeah, I was there. I sent her where she belongs. So what?" Sedona asked.

"This changes everything," Randall answered.

"It changes nothing, Randall. Everything is still the same, just go back to what you were doing and get the hell out of here," Sedona said.

Randall stepped up to her and grabbed her by the arms, saying, "It doesn't matter how much you destroy yourself. Pandora is gone, she doesn't even remember you!"

"Then I'll just write her a note that says I don't care and you can march down to hell and give it to her, alright?" Sedona said.

He let go of her, saying, "You're a stupid girl."

"I've heard it before," Sedona replied.

He closed the door, and Sedona got up to head to the bathroom. Dean asked, "What was that about?"

"Something stupid," Sedona answered.

They were driving down the road, and Dean handed Sedona the file of their next case. She looked over it, then she asked, "Mind control? Are you sure we can interview someone who is that powerful?"

"That's what we're going to see," Dean replied.

He stopped the car in front of a house, where a man was lying dead on the ground. Dean got out of the car and went up to the man, taking his soul. Sedona asked, "You think that was the owner?"

"Yes," Dean replied.

They went up to the door and knocked on it, and a young man answered. He asked, "What the hell do you want?"

"We're with the survey network. We're here to ask you a few questions," Dean said.

"Come on in. Don't mind the body outside, it's a dummy," the boy said, not knowing that Sedona and Dean knew otherwise.

He let them sit down, then Dean asked, "So, what is it like, living out in the country?"

"It's great," the boy said, looking at Sedona.

"What's your name?" Dean asked.

"Brian," the boy answered.

Dean knew it was a lie, but he couldn't seem to keep himself from thinking it was the truth. Sedona suddenly took off her shirt, revealing her bra underneath as she said, "It's hot in here."

"I think you're right. Maybe you should take off your pants too," Brian said.

She took off her pants as well, revealing her underwear. Brian asked Dean, "What have you always wanted to know about her?"

"Well, I want to know who she really is and why she wants to stay away from me so bad," Dean said, unable to stop himself from telling the truth.

Brian sat back on the couch and looked at Sedona. She began to explain without control, "I'm a servant to the demon who killed Dean's family. When my sister Pandora unleashed evil onto the world, her soul was shattered into 8 pieces. He promised to find the pieces and keep her safe as long as I did everything he said, which meant taking the souls of other demons and killing them. I've been keeping it a secret from Dean this whole time."

Brian looked at Dean and asked, "How do you feel about that, Dean?"

"I'm really, really pissed," Dean said, still smiling among his pain.

"You know, I think I'm going to leave you two alone to do it while I hide your car, then I'm going to do it with Sedona, and then I'm going to have you two kill each other," Brian said.

"You know our names? How smart of you," Dean said.

"Yeah, I read your mind before you even got here," Brian replied.

He left out the front door, and Dean got up, taking off his clothes. He stripped down to his boxers, then he picked up Sedona and put her on the table. They were kissing, then Dean broke away from her and said, "I'm so angry with you right now."

"I know, I didn't want it to end this way," Sedona said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Dean asked.

"I wanted to protect you," Sedona answered.

Brian walked back in the door and said, "I think that I want to have her first, before you, Dean."

"Okay," Dean said, getting off of Sedona.

She sat up, then she said to Brian before he even got his shirt off, "I forgot to say one thing."

"What's that?" Brian asked.

She spoke the name of an ancient evil, a name that was in a language that Dean seemed to understand. The cloud of black came through the door and burned Brian alive, dissolving him in seconds. A black figure came into the room, like that of a kind of evil that was far worse than Dean had ever imagined. He came to Sedona and asked, "How dare you disturb me?"

"I need you to do something," Sedona said.

"Take Dean's soul first, then I will do it," he replied.

Sedona looked at Dean, then Charlie appeared before he could. Dean's wings spread out from his back, and he could feel his powers peaking. Charlie said to the evil, "You can't hurt him, he's an angel of God."

"What the fu..." Dean started.

Then Sam and John appeared next to Charlie. The evil seemed to step back a little bit, then he said, "I killed you."

"Death isn't the end," John said.

"You can't stop me," the evil said.

"No, but she can," Sam pointed at Sedona.

She put her hand on the demon's face, and absorbed his soul. He stepped away from her, but she had already done what she needed. She looked at Sam and said, "Do it."

Sam held up the Colt, then he shot at Sedona before Dean could stop him. The bullet went into her head, then Sedona fell to the ground, the souls within her dissolving around her. The demon shouted, "You can't do this!"

"Yeah, we can, you stupid fuck," John said.

The demon was dissolving, and although he cried out in rage, he still became nothing in mere seconds. When he was gone, Dean asked, "What about Sedona?"

"Her sister's soul is free, now that the demon is gone," Sam said.

Dean turned to Sam and hugged him, then he hugged John. He asked, "What happens now?"

"We will pass on, but you have work to do," John said.

"What work? I want to go with you," Dean replied.

"There are other souls that need your help, more cases to do," Sam said.

"No, I want to go with you," Dean said.

"Dean, you are the last hope for many people out there. Don't waste it," John said.

"It's your choice, Dean. Do what you want," Charlie said.

A woman was walking down the alley, her house only moments away from her. She didn't think much of it, rummaging through her purse to see if there were keys in there. She thought she heard something behind her, so she turned around to find nothing there. When she turned back, a vampire jumped out of the darkness and bit into her neck, drinking her blood. Dean jumped down from above and took the soul from the woman's body, his wings forming on his back. The vampire shouted at him, "Her soul is mine, fallen angel!"

"Not this time, shithead," Dean said, then he took an ax and chopped off the vampire's head.
