Chapter 7- The end of Yellow Eyes
Kerry grunted as she slammed onto the floor. She immediately tried to raise herself, but a crushing weight forced her back down with a cry. She glared up at the black eyes staring back humourlessly at her and struggled to free herself.
"You son of a bitch" she spat.
"Oh boo-hoo. Tell me, how does it feel to have your ribs crushed?"
A loud snap echoed through the room, followed by Kerry's anguished scream as she felt her rib break under her skin. It was quickly followed by two more snaps, and her screams grew louder still. Her breathing turned to short, sharp gasps and she continued to try and move, to lessen the pressure on her chest.
"J...Jackson!" she managed to shout out.
A blur darted across the room, growling and snarling as it launched itself at the demon. The demon jumped back, momentarily releasing the grip he had on Kerry and she scrambled off the floor, trying not to cry out at the pain in her side. She watched as Jackson continued attacking the demon and wasted no time in bringing the exorcism chant she knew to the front of her mind.
"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus"
The demon twisted to look at her, but she continued chanting, smiling when black smoke shot out of the man's body, the demon expelled. Relief and pain had her dropping to her knees, cursing anyone and anything that was near. Jackson padded over to her, and she patted him on the head, proud of his actions that had stopped the demon from killing her. She pulled herself back up off the floor and after checking to see that the guy who the demon had possessed was okay, stumbled out the door to her car. She flipped open her phone and frowned to see there was a message from both her dad and Dean. She knew they'd gone out to look for Sam who had vanished yet again, but she'd already been on the hunt for the demon she'd just tracked when they told her. That had been four days ago and she was just glad to have gotten it over and done with. Pressing speed dial, she listened to their messages as she bundled Jackson into the car.
"Hey kiddo, we got Sam. Dean is a stupid son of a bitch, but I'll give you more details when you get here. We're heading to Wyoming, meet us there. I think something big is going down and we're gonna need you on this one."
Kerry swallowed, wandering what Dean had done to anger her dad so much and prayed it didn't mean something bad had happened. Next she listened to Dean's message and her blood ran cold.
"Hey Kerry. Look, when you get here, please don't be mad okay? I had to do it, I couldn't not do it. Anyway get here as soon as you can because we need all hands on deck for this one. And Kerry, all I can say…is, I'm sorry."
She snapped her phone shut and jumped into the car, grateful that she was only an hour's drive away. By the time she arrived, it was pitch black and she could barely see a thing. She noticed the impala to her right and parked next to it, commanding Jackson to stay in the car as she walked to where she could hear shouting. As she stepped across a set of train tracks, there was a rush of wind that slammed into her and she grunted as it aggravated her ribs. She watched in horror as the entire sky around her began to fill with black smoke, and when she heard more yelling, she ran forwards just in time to see Dean looking at the bullet chamber of a pistol, Sam, Bobby and Ellen pushing against a crypt door, trying to close it. It was then that she saw the yellow eyed demon come up behind Dean.
"Dean!" she yelled in warning.
Dean's head snapped up, mostly in surprise at her presence but also to see what she was warning him about. The demon sent him flying across the cemetery and Sam immediately ran over to help. Seeing her dad and Ellen struggle to close the door, she ran over and slammed her entire body weight into the door, trying to help them any way she could. Over the noise of the smoke still spilling out of the door, she could hear the taunting voice of the demon and when she glanced over, she saw Sam slumped against a tree, Dean lying on the floor. With a final push, followed by a scream as she felt another rib snap, Bobby, Kerry and Ellen finally slammed the door shut. Kerry turned and hugged her dad, using him a support. The three turned and stood in shock to see John holding the yellow eyed demon.
"John…" Kerry whispered.
She watched as Dean fired the pistol at the demon and when the body fell to the floor, she sighed. John looked towards his sons, and it was then she saw that both he and Dean were crying. Swallowing her own tears, she smiled as John turned away and looked over at her. He mouthed the words 'I'm sorry' and Kerry felt the tears slide down her face as he walked away and vanished into the night. Bobby's grip on her tightened and she yelped in pain.
"You okay?" he asked her, his face immediately covered with worry.
"The demon I hunted before coming here broke a few ribs for me" she responded.
The grip loosened and he moved his hand to her shoulders. She looked over at Ellen and the older woman smiled.
"Hey honey. Not the best circumstances, but it's good to see you."
Kerry nodded before moving and hugging her. It hurt, but she didn't care; she was too happy to see Ellen again. She then noticed Sam and Dean coming towards them and it made her think of the voice messages.
"Okay, so what did Dean do?" She asked.
Dean immediately looked at the floor, Sam and Bobby's faces clouded in anger and Ellen's eyes saddened.
"Guys?" she prodded.
Bobby inclined his head to Sam and Ellen and they left, giving Kerry and Dean space.
"Dean, talk to me; you're scaring me" she pleaded after a moment silence.
"Sam died" he finally said, his voice that of a defeated man.
Kerry was stunned and could only stare blankly at him for a few seconds.
"So how is he still alive?" she asked, beginning to suspect, but too afraid to allow herself to believe he would do something so stupid.
"I made a deal." He all but whispered, refusing to meet her gaze.
A mixture of anguish, horror, anger and pain washed over her at her words and she felt as though she'd been punched in the gut. Surprisingly to both of them, her response was a bitter laugh.
"I can't believe you! Sacrificing yourself without even thinking about those you'd leave behind. God damnit Dean."
Dean opened his mouth, but she glared and he shut it again.
"You're pathetic" she growled.
Not able to look at him any longer, she strode past the small group and before anyone knew what was happening, she had started up her car and pulled away at a break neck speed.
