Chapter 13: - Something's Wrong.

Closing the door behind her, she found Sam sitting on the step, his head resting in his hands. Quietly taking a seat beside him, she moved her hand up to his back gently.

"What happened?" she whispered, after a long silence.

"It's what's going to happen," Sam muttered through gritted teeth.

"Vision?"

"Yeah," he sighed. "As always."

Alex could feel the sting of bitterness that crept its way into his mouth. She smiled sadly, putting her arm round his shoulder, as Sam gazed at her. He automatically leant in closer, shivering slightly in the cool night air.

Silence fell over them, as away in the shadows of the wood that skirted the motel, the demon stood watching, grinning.

"So how are we gonna get rid of this demon," Alex finally asked.

"We?"

"Yes we! I didn't drive all the way across state for nothing. And I'm sure as heck not gonna leave you two the way things are right now."

"This isn't your fight," Sam said. "Dean shouldn't have called you."

Alex pursed her lips in annoyance. "That's exactly what your father said."

"You've seen dad?" Sam started, uncannily like Dean. He looked into her eyes with sparkling interest.

"Yes," Alex smiled, shaking her head as he continued to look at her with a penetrating gaze, desperate to know more.

"We met up just before he left for Chicago."

Sam looked surprised and slightly hurt.

"Don't pull that face," she said lightly, shoving him gently. "That's just what Dean did when I told him."

Sam forced himself to grin. "Now we wouldn't want that would we!"

She laughed. "No, one of him is bad enough. She shivered against the chill night air as they sat huddled together on the step. Pushing herself to her feet, she offered Sam a hand. "You fancy a walk?"

He took it willingly, sliding to his feet with ungainly ease.

"So who am I babysitting?" she smiled, as they meandered down the gravel path which ran all the way along the grassy bank. "You or Dean?"

Sam laughed. "Definitely Dean. He's gonna be a right unbearable and miserable bastard if we don't sort him out, and I don't much fancy having to help him tie his shoe laces or help him into the shower.

Alex's cheeks flushed pink, remembering the last time she'd accidentally walked in on Dean taking a shower. Looking up at Sam whose eyes were twinkling with mischief, she nudged him in the ribs, not liking his meaning.

Sam continued to look out of the corner of his eye with a smirk at her reaction.

Silence fell between them again as they each became lost in their own thoughts, unaware of the demon following them. As they rounded the corner, the motel disappearing from sight, the demon closed its eyes, finding its way into their thoughts, desperate to feed.

Sam stalled, coming to a halt in the middle of the path, a nervous apprehension filling his heart. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. But what? He thought about Dean sitting alone in the motel room, waiting for them, not being able to follow. 'What if something has happened to him,' a niggling voice in the back of his mind whispered, 'Worse than blindness, hurt and pain. What if my vision comes true!'

Within him, the demon smiled as Sam's conscious responded, his muscles tensing, his senses heightening. It laughed at the ease it had taken to gain control.

Alex stopped beside Sam wondering what was wrong. "Hey," she said, touching him hesitantly. "You okay?"

The demon within him, smiled at the gentle touch. It crept its way through Sam's body, through his very skin, to where Alex touched him and crept into her heart. It felt the emotions, thoughts and feeling flowing through her, feeling fear and anxiety pulsating from every atom of her being.

Travelling up to her mind, it settled itself deep within her subconscious, whispering, "You will fail them," as it looked out of her eyes at Sam who stood before her. "You will fail both him and his brother."

Her body tensed as her pulse started to race, torn between reality and the demon's lies. Its grin faltered as she began to fight back. Gently leaning in closer, it whispered, "You will fail them, just like you failed your mother."

Alex's body froze, her muscles tensing painfully as her fight began to cave in around her, her heart seizing in her chest. Her eyes sparkled with tears as she saw her mother pinned against her bedroom wall, terrified as she burst into flames.

Sam, sensing something was very wrong, spun around on the path and raced back towards the motel. He knew it, he could feel it. 'How could he have been so stupid as to leave Dean alone again!'

Alex shook herself out of her day dream as she watched him tear away down the walkway. Chasing after him, she shouted, "What's wrong?"

Sam didn't answer; instead he broke out into a sprint as the motel came into sight, panic pounding through every nerve ending. Something had happened, he knew it.

Slamming into the motel room door, Alex not far behind, he turned the handle hurriedly and threw it open, heaving involuntarily at the sight that lay before him.
