Dean slowly eased his aching body in the direction of Sam's room and groaned when he rubbed his forehead.

The throbbing that was building up inside his head reminded the young man of previous events that had come to pass. He let out another sigh and thought about how much more his little brother had gone through and how the younger Winchester was still suffering.

The numbing silence that filled the hallway caused Dean to stop suddenly. His eyes wandered toward the door that closed off Sam's room from the rest of the house. He paused for a few more seconds before sinking into the familiar mode of the hunter. Slowly, he pulled his gun from his back pocket and cautiously made his way to Sam's room.

Dean placed his hand on the cool wood of the barely ajar door and gave it a careful push with his fingertips. He cursed aloud when the door opened to reveal a dark and unlit room.

"Sam?" He didn't hide his concern as he called out to his brother. He drew in a deep breath and bit his lip before creeping into the darkness.

"Celia? Evelyn!" He yelled out.

He stood in the doorway, sensing the presence of someone in the shadows of the room. Soft, yet strained breathing whispered in the darkness and he repositioned himself so he was better prepared. He hovered one of his hands over the lightswitch and the other tightly grasped the handle of the weapon that he held at the ready.

In one, swift motion, he flipped the switch and a piercing glow flooded the room. Almost immediately, he recoiled in shock and dropped his gun. A few silent moments passed where there was not so much as a shudder of movement in the stillness. Dean observed the scene that was scattered before him with shallow breath.

Sam lay unconscious and cradled against Evelyn's right side, while Celia was cradled at Evelyn's left side. The older woman held both the figures tightly against her as though protecting them from the many evils of the world. Evelyn seemed unaware of Dean's presence in the room as she hummed quietly, hushing the prone bodies that lay against her.

Dean shook himself from his state of shock and slowly approached them. He placed a shaking hand against Sam's forehead and for once was thankful to feel the fever burning beneath his gentle touch.

"What happened?" He asked quietly as he brushed the hand through Sam's hair and then his attention faded to Celia.

Evelyn finally acknowledged Dean. Her worried eyes stared directly into
his and she shook her head.

"I need your help!" She spoke with emotion and a tear ran down her cheek.

------------------------------------------

7 minutes earlier

Celia gasped for breath as the firm hold on her neck tightened. She struggled to fight against the grip that was working on squeezing the life from her lungs. She looked into the younger man's eyes, only seeing pure evil boiling within them.

As she turned her head, she saw the familiar and comforting face of Evelyn.

The woman, who was standing in front of the two of them, placed her lips together and blew. A nearly transparent dust flew from her palm and straight into both Sam's and Celia's unsuspecting faces.The twoof them inhaled the polluted air and choked as they fell to the ground.

------

Cameron could feel his heart beating painfully against his ribs as he watched Celia take small steps toward Sam. A drop of perspiration rolled down his face and hit against the tray that he was holding firmly against his chest.The pressure growing within him, caused him to shudder as he placed a foot
toward the door.

The tray was flung against him as the unseen force within kept him from entering.

"What? Celia, NO!"

He once again attempted to place his foot inside the room.

"No, this is not meant to happen! You promised! No please!" He cried as he was forced back.

Before he could make another attempt, he saw Celia and Sam fall to the
ground, followed by a loud noise and the door slammed shut in front of
him.

----------------------------------------------

"Take your brother Dean, before… he…it wakes up." Evelyn replied. Dean gave her a sharp, shocked gaze as he lifted Sam's arm.

"What are you talking about? Sam was safe in here. What happened?" Dean
didn't wait for an answer as he took his brother's weight and carried the
young man to the bed.

"Dean, someone, I think Cameron, did this! You need to tie him up, we're not
safe anymore!" Evelyn voiced her concern as she spoke. She held Celia's limp
body closer and began to rub her back.

"You need to hurry Dean!" Dean tried to remember where he had placed the hand cuffs that he had hoped would be of no further use.

"Sorry kiddo." Dean whispered as he pressed the cuffs on, restraining
his brother once more.

"She gonna be okay? What's wrong them?" Dean helped lift Celia as Evelyn
slowly crawled out and stood next to him.

"I had no choice, I had a feeling something was wrong. They should be okay
soon, Sam will, but I'm worried about Celia." Evelyn followed as Dean lifted
Celia into his arms and placed her into a chair opposite to the bed.

"What do we need to do?" Dean brushed a lock of hair from the unconscious
woman's face and turned to his brother.

"The Loa is controlling your brother, and for now she is controlling the
Loa. She doesn't what she's done!" Evelyn paced slightly as she assed the damage to the items in the room.

"Dean, we need to hurry to save him, the longer it possess him more damage
it is doing to him, he is becoming her zombie and will no longer be Sam." She
lifted a candle and began to walk around the room.

"Can't we do something to get this out of him and back to wherever it came
from" Dean questioned knowing deep down that things were never simple when it came to supernatural beings.

"We can't do that. She conjured it, it's connected to her, meaning she's
connected to Sam she will have control Sam's powers" Evelyn paused and
turned away.

"Powers? You mean his vision? What aren't you telling me? You know more
about this don't you?" Dean walked closer to gain the attention of Evelyn
before they were both interrupted by the stirring on the bed.

"Sam?" Dean questioned as he approached his brother.

"Dean no! Be careful!" Evelyn stepped back from the bed and moved closer to where Celia was laying.

"That's right Deany, be careful!" The youngest brother's voice was horse, although he spoke firmly in a sarcastic tone.

"Where the hell is my brother?" Dean asked viciously, standing over Sam's body.
