CHAPTER 13

Dean, Sam and Kate start to walk up the dark harbour path which is surrounded by even darker empty wooden warehouses. In the distance they notice a light coming from one of the warehouses and they begin to head towards it with Dean taking the lead. Peering into the warehouse through a gap in the wooden door Dean sees Bailey who is sitting on the floor quite happy playing with his beloved toy train. Dean scans the rest of the warehouse but it appears that Bailey is alone

"Bailey's in there. I can't see anyone else but we can't take any chances." Says Dean as he turns around to face Kate and Sam. "Sam you go round back, I'll go in this way." Sam nods as he runs off and then disappears out of sight. "Kate, whatever happens in their tonight you have to remain out of sight. If you do get caught just do what I say, ok?"

Kate nods but Dean can see the fear in her eyes.

"Here." Dean says handing Kate a gun. "Anything comes for you, just fire no matter what or who."

Holding on to Kate's chin Dean pushes her head up as she looks down at the gun in her hands.

"Hey, I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you, and I'm gonna do my dam hardest to get your brothers back."

Kate nods her head as she tries to remain strong and not show Dean her tears. Without saying another word Dean opens the warehouse door and enters.

Bailey begins to smile as he see's Dean walking towards him. Keeping his gun positioned and ready for firing, Dean looks around the warehouse but still it seems to be empty.

"Hey Bailey…..what ya doing huh?" Dean says as he bends down to pick up Bailey.

Just as Dean is within an inch of touching Bailey he is thrown backwards by an invisible force and lands on the floor ten feet away. Shaking his head to get back his focus, Dean now see's a man bending down and playing with Bailey. It isn't until the man stands up that Dean realises it is Billy.

"Hello Dean."

Dean reaches for his gun which is lying by his side but again he is thrown towards the side of the warehouse where he remains pinned against the wooden framework.

"Now that's just not nice is it?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Oh didn't Mourino tell you?"

"Who?"

"Mourino! He's the demon you probably killed oh I'd say about forty minutes ago."

Dean looks at Billy trying to hide his confusion.

"How did you know that?"

"Oh come on Dean! Don't you think it was a little too easy how you got him into what I'm guessing was……..a devils trap? And him telling you where I would be with Bailey, no one would let that slip out by accident."

"It was a set up?" Dean says through gritted teeth

"Well it's about time you twigged on! Course it was, I had to get hold of Bailey and to do that I needed you two out of the house."

"No Demon would sacrifice himself to help another?"

"A loyal follower of my father would?"

"Meg?" Dean says while still trying to fight the invisible force holding him against the wall.

"No actually, she would be my sister." Billy says smiling. "I know what you're thinking Dean, your thinking that you have already killed me. Well that would be my brother. You see after you killed my brother and then sent my sister to hell I was sent into hiding. It wasn't until you killed my father that I was allowed to come back and finish off his work. Meg sends her regards by the way. I heard she bumped into you and Sam a little while ago. And talking about Sam, where is he?"

"Like I would tell you."

"You wouldn't come here alone so I'm guessing he's here. In fact, I bet he's at the back of the warehouse listening to this conversation right now, just waiting for the right time to barge in and try to save you. Why don't we put him out of his misery?"

Billy turns around and faces the back of the warehouse and watches as Sam comes flying through the wood panelling and crashes against the wall next to Dean.

"SAM!" Dean says as Sam remains knocked out for a second but then slowly comes round.

"That's better, the brothers together where they belong. But I'm still thinking were missing someone. Ahh yes! Bailey's sister, Kate."

"Don't!" Pleads Dean.

"Don't worry Dean, deep down I am a gentleman. I will give her the chance to enter this warehouse on her own accord if she wishes." Billy says as he shouts towards the front of the warehouse. "If not I shall bring her in myself."

Slowly the front door opens and Kate enters holding the gun Dean gave her down by her side.

"Here she is." Billy says as he continues to grin widely.

Seeing Bailey on the floor Kate begins to run towards him but she is grabbed round the waist by Billy who holds her in a tight hug and then reaches down for her gun and throws it away.

"No you don't. The last thing we need right now is for Bailey to be getting all excited now."

Kate tries to struggle free from Billy's grip as Bailey sits on the floor reaching out for her.

"She's pretty isn't she Dean?" Billy says as he sniffs her hair. "Now you know why I didn't kill her back at the house. In fact…"

Billy spins Kate around so she is facing him.

"I might take her with me. We could have a lot of fun together." Billy again starts to sniff Kate who desperately tries to pull away.

"Get off me." Kate yells as she knees Billy in the groin and then smacks him across the face causing him to let go of his grip from around her waist. Kate runs towards Bailey but just like Dean she is thrown against the wall before she can reach him.

"I tried to be nice but now you've gone and made me angry."

Bailey begins to whimper as he watches his sister pinned against the wall.

"Why lead us here? Why not just leave and take Bailey without telling us?" Asks Sam.

"Because this way it's more fun! I can't wait to see your faces when Bailey finally gives in to our dark side."

"What's he gonna do huh?" Screams Dean. "Hate to break it to you but I don't think he would make a very good soldier for your Dad's precious army."

"A soldier? Is that what you think Bailey is for?" Billy begins to laugh. "Oh no, there's plenty more children out there for that position. Bailey here, he's something special, way too special for an army. I guess you could say I always wanted a younger brother."

"You're going to……"

"Welcome him to our loving family with open arms. I don't know what you did Kate but I have never known a kid so young to delve into his powers before."

Bailey remains on the floor completely oblivious of the danger he is in.

"You sick bastard." Sam yells.

Billy walks over to a black bag resting on the floor and pulls out a jar of what looks like blood. Opening the jar, Billy places his finger inside and then begins to draw satanic markings on Bailey's forehead and arms who happily sits there and lets him as if it was a game. Placing the lid back on the jar Billy stands up and admires his handy work.

"Leave him alone, he has a family" Kate pleads.

"A family that blames him for their mum and dad's death?"

"I have never blamed him."

"You haven't but if you could only see what's in Billy's head." Billy begins to laugh. "He has so much hatred for him….now I can't let Bailey stay with you while people have feelings like that can I?"

"ARGH when I get out of this I swear to god I will kill you." Dean yells as he pulls his head of the wall trying to follow with his arms but then collapsing back against the wooden wall.

Billy's eyes intensify as he places down the jar of blood and stands in front of Bailey with his arms outstretched. In a deep, powerful voice, Billy begins to quote a satanic verse.

From nowhere a wind begins to fill the warehouse as Billy screams louder the same verse over and over again. The blood markings on Baileys face and arms begin to glow but he seems unnerved by it. Dean, Sam and Kate try to watch as the wind blows in their faces but as quickly as it started, the wind dies down and stops so does the glow coming from Bailey's markings. A little out of breath, Billy looks down at Bailey when suddenly out of nowhere a bolt of lightning appears hitting Bailey on the head.

"NO!" Kate screams as Dean and Sam can do nothing but watch.

Bailey remains seated with his eyes closed.

"It's working, IT'S WORKING" Billy says as he begins to laugh.

As if in a trance Bailey stands up and turns around to face the trio where they can now see his eyes are a bright shade of yellow.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Billy continues to laugh as Dean carries on cursing at him.

"Only a matter of time now and he will be complete at being one of us."

"Bailey? BAILEY" Kate yells trying to get his attention which seems to be working as he starts to walk over towards her.

"Bailey it's me, its Kate. Do you remember me?...remember Billy and Megan?...they miss you, we want you to come home."

"What are you doing?" Billy snaps.

"Remember Mum and Dad?"

Bailey continues to stare at Kate as if she was see-through.

"STOP THAT!

"He hurt your mummy and daddy Bailey, and now he's going to hurt me, you don't want him to hurt me do you?"

"I said stop that." Billy yells as he walks over to Kate smacking her across the face and then holding her by the throat. "One more word and I will snap your neck like a twig"

Just then Billy releases his grip from Kate's throat and starts to walk back holding on to his stomach.

"What...what's happening?" Billy says as the wind starts to fill the warehouse again but this time focusing all of its energy towards him.

"Looks like you've pissed off the wrong kid." Says Dean.

"This shouldn't be happening...he shouldn't be able to do this." Billy yells as he looks at Bailey who just looks back at him with his bright yellow eyes. Screaming out in pain Billy falls to his knees clutching his stomach while Dean, Sam and Kate fall to the floor. Straight away Dean pulls Kate towards him and places a protective arm around her as they watch Billy continue to scream with agony.

"This is not the end!" Billy shouts out before screaming into the air releasing black smoke from his mouth which fills the air above him. Billy's body falls flat on the floor as the black smoke continues to twirl around above him. Looking up towards the black smoke, Bailey opens his own mouth and yellow smoke bellows out joining the black smoke. The two colours of smoke begin to entwine with each other as if fighting and then with a clash the smokes disperse and disappear in to the air. The trio sit for a minute as the wind dies down and the warehouse is once again quiet.

Bailey begins to cry as Kate picks him up and pulls him into a tight hug. Dean joins Kate as she begins to wipe the blood of Baileys face while Sam makes his way towards Billy who lies motionless on the floor.

Dean's attempt of moving Kate away before she sees her brother fails as she notices his lifeless body lying by Sam's feet.

"Oh my god BILLY!" Kate screams out as Dean holds her back while Sam bends down and reaches for a pulse.

"NO!" Kate sobs as Sam looks back and shakes his head.

"I'm sorry."

Before Kate can shed a tear Billy's body jerks as he begins to cough and gasp for air.

"Billy!" Kate says as she kneels down at his side.

"Kate? What the hell happened? Where am I?" Billy says as he looks around the warehouse with a puzzled look on his face. Dean and Sam watch as Kate, who continues to hold Bailey, embraces Billy in a hug.
