Chapter 2: Kalley explains
"So we're either thinking a spirit or a demon right?" Sam asked as he clicked on a link on his laptop. "Dean?"
He turned around in his seat to see Dean on his bed, listing to music and eating what he hoped was an edible taco.
He sighed and threw a paperback book that was next to his laptop. It hit Dean square in the chest he jumped up. "What the hell man?" Dean asked wiping cheese off his shirt and pulling his headphones out.
"Why are you eating that on my bed?"
Dean smiled. "Because I don't want taco all over my bed at night."
"And I do?" Sam asked.
Dean shrugged and was about to put his headphones back on. "Wait, so we think this is a demon or a spirit right?" Sam asked stopping him.
"Well that narrows it down to about…everything. Didn't you narrow it down on anything?" He sounded annoyed and Sam just shrugged. If he wanted to narrow it down he could have helped.
"We don't have a lot to go on. All we know is that there were no fingerprints or forced entries, which leads to a spirit."
"But spirits can't touch anything. How would that explain the symbols on the bodies? And there was no EMF."
Sam turned back to his computer. "It could be some sort of Shadow Spirit, something that has spirit like qualities but can kill by reaching through someone's shadow."
"Don't those things usually take the hearts?" Dean asked now standing to come over near the laptop.
"Damn, yeah they do."
"So we've got nothing?" Dean asked.
Sam shook his head. "We've got nothing."

Kalley shifted through Paige's dorm room, trying to collect all her things. After the police had been through here they told her that she could finally pack up her things. She couldn't believe how easy it was to pack up someone's whole life into boxes. As she put all the clothes into duffle bags she saw something in the back of the closet.
It was a small black box with, what looked like, melted candles on top. She reached for it and pulled it out setting it on the bed. She wondered if she even wanted to know what was inside. She knew the crap Paige had gotten into since their mother had died. But her curiosity got the best of her and she popped it open.
The box was filled to the brim with items. And as she pulled each of the items out she wished she wouldn't have. There was a vile of blood which she prayed to God was animal. There were pressed flowers, mostly roses and daisies. There was a small jar of owl feather and she cringed when she saw the snake skin. But beneath all that was a small black leather bound book. She shook off the dust and the chipped candle wax and pulled it out.
On the front was pentagram and Kalley couldn't help but roll her eyes and shake her head at the cover. She didn't know why she even wanted to look through the stupid thing. This had been the reason for her sister's death. If she hadn't been so involved in pretending she knew witchcraft she could have gotten some real help. But guilt can fool the mind with a lot of things and Kalley knew Paige had felt responsible for their mother's death. Someone always does, even of they couldn't have done one thing to stop it.
All Kalley did was open the book to see the inside cover, but it was enough to make her slam the book shut. The same symbol that had been on the bodies, was on the inside cover.

"Who was on the phone?" Dean asked, flipping through the various books they kept in the trunk.
Sam shut the motel door. "Kalley, she wants to meet us at the coffee shop down the road from here."
Dean smiled. "Sounds good to me, better than the damned motel room. Smells like eggs in here man, I'm telling you." He slipped on his leather jacket and Sam shrugged.
"You know why it smells like eggs? Because you had three tacos that somehow stunk up the whole room. God knows if they were even edible."
Dean rubbed his stomach. "Oh, they were edible."
Sam rolled his eyes and put his phone in his pocket. "Come on, were meeting her in ten minutes."

Kalley sat and drank her coffee. She was glad she had time to change into something comfortable before she got there. She wore light jeans with a baby blue tank top on and her hair was in big curls. She tried not to look like she was trying to impress Sam, especially since she'd called him for a reason.
When she saw Sam and Dean enter the coffee shop, she waved them down. Sam was wearing jeans with a navy blue polo over top. It looked nice on him, especially since she could see his arm muscles practically ripping through his shirt. Dean was wearing dark blue jeans with a black tee shirt and a leather jacket over top. She wondered if he was hot in it but it tended to be a little chilly at night.
"Hey, how are you?" Sam asked sitting next to her.
Dean set his jacket on the seat across from them. "I'm gonna get a coffee Sammy, you want one?"
Sam shook his head and Dean headed over to stand in line.
"I'm fine…considering. I found something at Paige's dorm today."
Sam nodded and waited for her to continue. "You were friends with her; maybe you can tell me what it is."
She pulled out the book and handed it to Sam. Sam knew exactly what it was as soon as it landed in his hands.
"Do you know what it is?" she asked.
Sam pondered how to answer that. He could tell her what he knew, the big supernatural part of it, or tell her what she wanted to hear.
"A diary?" Sam asked even though he knew it wasn't.
"I don't think so." She said shaking her head. "It's got a pentagram on it."
Sam nodded, not really knowing how to avoid this. "Well then, it's most likely...a Grimoire."
He looked up to see her reaction but surprisingly she looked calm, like she knew what he was talking about. "You know what that is?" he asked.
She nodded. "My family goes back to the Salem witch trials. I know a little lore about witches and magic, but I don't believe it. How did you know what it was?"
"Because Sam is a big walking book of freakish information." Dean said sitting down on the couch across from them.
She smiled while Sam gave Dean a glare. "What's that?" Dean asked.
"A Grimoire. It's said to be used to invoke angels and demons."
Kalley sighed angrily. She'd heard enough of this crap before. "It isn't real, none of it."
Sam shrugged his shoulders and opened it. "In some cultures it is, you wouldn't believe how many people follow it thinking it can…"
He trailed off seeing the symbol in the inside cover. "Dean, take a look at this."
He handed the book to Dean and he squinted at the symbol. "Kalley, do you know what this stands for?"
Kalley looked at her hands, which she was twisting nervously on her lap. If she said she knew what it meant they might try and blame Paige for the series of murders that been happening. Or worse, they could blame her. And that was something she wasn't ready to bear.
"Kalley, if you know something." Sam said softly. "We won't tell anyone. We just want to help."
His voice was so soft and gentle it made her want to cry. But she bit her lower lip and held her tears at bay.
"My mom died six months ago from cancer."
"I'm sorry." Sam said quietly but added nothing more and let her continue.
"But the way she died was odd." She trailed off.
"Odd how?" Dean asked. "You said it was cancer."
"All the signs pointed to cancer but when they found her, she had the symbol on her stomach. Cops didn't think much of it since the coroners found she had heart cancer. They thought she did it to herself. But Paige, she was distraught. She convinced herself it had something to do with our family, our ancestry."
"Why?" Sam asked hoping not to press his luck by asking too many questions.
"Because since our family is linked back to Salem. I just thought nothing of it ya know? She needed something to do, to vent her anger. So I let her research it. But the thing is she found the symbol."
She took the book off of Dean's lap and pointed to the symbol on the inside cover. "It's the symbol for Amaymon, but he's not a demon. In some Grimoires, he's said to be the Prince of Hell. I don't think Paige even believed any of this, until my other sister, Lucy, showed her."
"Showed her?" Dean asked, glancing at Sam. But Sam was looking at Kalley, perfectly paying attention to everything she said. Which was good, seeing as how Dean wouldn't remember every detail later.
"Lucy is the only one in my family that I know believes in this stuff a hundred percent. She prays to demons, has an alter, everything. She's the one that turned Paige onto this stuff. And then Paige ends up dead. I don't think it's a coincidence, but I don't think its magic." She finished and drank the rest of her coffee in one big gulp.
"Kalley can we look at this and I'll give it back to you later?" Sam asked taking the book from her.
Kalley gave him a hesitant nod. "Yeah, sure. But what do you need it for?"
Sam stuttered on his answer. "Well I—I…"
Dean shook his head and tried waiting for Sam to sputter out something that sounded like an answer. He didn't understand why this girl was making Sam so nervous, not that Dean could deny she was gorgeous. Dean finally sighed and decided to interrupt; he never was very patient.
"Sam and I are investigating the series of murders going on. That symbol was on the victims and we want to look over the rest of the pages in the book."
Sam looked at him wide eyed. "No need to sugar coat it for her Dean."
Dean shrugged. He hated sugar coating things, mise well let people know what the hell they were actually dealing with.
"Are you two cops?" she asked.
Dean looked at her. "Would you like us to be?"
Sam gave him another look and Dean shrugged. Kalley got up quickly taking the book from Sam and started to leave. "You two are freaks." She said quietly.
Sam followed after her and Dean hurried up and gathered his coat and the rest of his coffee.
"Kalley wait!" Sam called out, running after her.
Kalley was walking to the parking lot across the street. Why did all of Paige's friends have to be freaks?
"Kalley would you just hold on a second?" Sam asked her, grabbing her shoulder gently. He didn't want her to start freaking out on the both of them and draw attention.
"What Sam?" she asked turning around.
"Ignore my brother, he's an asshole sometimes. But he wasn't lying."
She shook her head. "You two aren't cops, what the hell do you want the book for?"
"You want the truth?" Sam asked and Dean gave him an incredulous stare.
"Sure that's wise Sammy?"
Kalley nodded. "Yeah, I do."
"We think that those murders are being done by a demon, most likely possessing a human." He said simply.
She put her hand on her head, rubbing her temples. "Ok, let's say I do believe you, which is only by like fifteen percent by the way. Why do you need this book?"
"Because the symbols in it. And anything we can pull from it will help." Dean said slipping his jacket on.
"You two are serious aren't you?" she asked.
Sam shrugged. "Is it really that hard to believe? Look at what your family's lineage is."
"But I don't believe it." Kalley said. Tears were starting to threaten her eyes and her voice was streaked with anger and disbelief.
Dean looked for his car keys and went to stand next to Sam. "Well sweetheart I'm guessing you're going to need to start, because these murders are only beginning."
