Disclaimer: Supernatural belongs to Kripke and the WB (or CW). Either way I'm not getting anything from this. Although I will gladly accept a gift wrap Sam and Dean Winchester.
A/N: I don't know anything about hypnosis so I'm skipping the beginning process and magic and I am just going strait to the important info. I refer to the Pilot, All Hell Breaks Loose and In The Beginning but the rest I fill in.
Celebration time the damn cricket is gone, laughs evilly. For a gift you guys get a new chapter as a Christmas present.
Chapter 10: Behind Closed Doors
Dean can only watch transfix by what is going. He is frozen on the edge of his seat not wanting to miss a single detail. Dean still can't believe that Sam just let the spell be cast on him. Dean stares at Sam who sits in the chair with his eyes closed. Sam is deep into the trance and so far has answered questions with vivid detail.
"Sam, describe to me what happen once your family has left your room" asks the mystery man's voice from off screen.
"I'm focused on the mobile over my bed which has begun moving but my focus shifts when the light in my room starts to flicker. I can feel someone else in the room but I don't see anyone yet. Slowly from out of the shadows I see a man. He approaches my crib and peers down at me."
"Describe the man Sam."
"I can not see his face too well because of how much is hidden in shadows but he looks human except for his eyes. His eyes are a sickly yellow color and through them I see a deep evil and darkness. Then I hear mom talk but she doesn't get rid of the yellow eyed man."
"Tell me verbatim everything that is said"
"John. Is he hungry? Mom had asked sleepily. The man turns slightly and shushes her. Okay she says before leaving. The man returns his focus on me." Sam gasps out loud but remains seated in the chair.
"You are alright Sam you're safe. Now I need you to tell me what he is doing."
"He has cut his wrist and dripping the blood into my mouth."
From off screen John hisses out "Oh god".
"John I need you to remain quiet. Sam please continue to describe what you see."
"He lets a couple drops fall when suddenly the man turns his focus away from me. Mom has come back bursting into my room. It's you Mom says to the man she is fully awake compared to before."
"What!" John screams off screen.
"John what did I say about being quiet. Sam is very sensitive to what is happening around him and we need to be careful especially with the magic involved. Do you want to know what happen or not?" There is some grumbling but then silence, "okay. What happens next Sam?"
"Mom is slammed against the wall by the door. She is slowly lifted off the ground but stops rising up when her head reaches the ceiling. Next the door closes quietly by itself. There we go that should keep us from disturbing the rest of the house with our conversation. Now Mary why did you have to come in here and interfere asks the yellowed eye man.
What do you expect to happen once I realize there is a stranger in my son's room? Mom responds.
I'm hurt Mary after the history we share to be thought as some stranger.
Mom growls at him, We are not friends you demonic son of a bitch.
The man dramatically clutches his chest in a hurt expression. Sticks and stones Mary and after all I have done for you. You do have me to thank for the life you have now. The white picket fence, the family, and the normal life you always wanted without anything supernatural well except me of course.
I did not need your help to achieve the life I have. Instead you ruined it by killing my parents and John so you could get me to make that deal with you in exchange for bringing John back to life. Well no more, I'm not going to let you hurt my family ever again
You know I noticed the protections you set up around the house. Once a hunter always a hunter isn't that right Mary. You couldn't fully let go of that part of yourself. What you have are very effective in keeping demons out but remember you gave me permission to enter your home. I will say how clever you were putting them around with John boy none the wiser. Not very observant that one or is it John just turns a blind eye to that part of you. How does that old saying go love makes you blind?
You stay away from my family. The deal we had was between you and me.
Now Mary I was very clear ten years ago that I didn't want your soul. I understand that you are upset but I couldn't very well say that I wanted your future child. You would have never have agreed to the deal if you knew that detail.
I won't let you take Sammy!
I have no plans of taking him at the moment. I don't feel like dealing with raising the tyke. No today I am merely here to set the foundation for his future. I have other children prepared who could be what I am looking for but I have a strong feeling Sam is the one.
The one what?
Sorry but I'm not going to be reveling that anytime soon. Don't want to spill my hand too early but now what to do with you. I feel it would be a waste to kill you but if I let you go I don't think you would go back to living the apple pie life. Pity because you were a favorite of mine but you know too much. Mom is moving again but now she is on the ceiling. She slides across the ceiling until she stops directly over my crib.
You won't win because Sammy will never be yours.
Oh and who will stop me you. What are you going to do haunt me as a ghost? Or perhaps you did tell someone about me. Not John of course but maybe one of your remaining family members or friends who is aware of the supernatural. I will just have to kill them as well; make sure all my bases are covered. Mom has a look of fear and horror on her face. The yellow eyed man then makes a gesture and slices mom's stomach causing her to scream out in pain. He gives me one last look before disappearing. After the yellowed eye man disappears dad bursts in to my room."
"That is enough Sam you do not need to say anymore." Sam goes quiet but he remains in the trance and under the magic spell.
"I'm sorry John."
"Sorry! I just find out my wife knew about the supernatural and that she had made a deal for me and you tell me sorry." John retorts.
"I can see how much this is a shock for you but that is not what I am sorry about."
"Then what the hell are you sorry for?" John's voice has a dangerous edge to it.
"There is nothing that can be done to undo your wife's deal. She brought the demon into your life and damn your family or should I say your youngest son. We don't know what the demon's intention with your youngest is but whatever it maybe can't be good. You heard what was said Sam has demon blood in him."
"You don't know Sam. He is a kind, caring individual and has a gentle soul. He hates hunting and does not enjoy any part of killing. Does that seem like a monster to you?"
"He may be that now but you know how a person can be corrupted by the supernatural. No matter what they once were. Your son has demon blood and eventually that will turn him. I'm sorry but we have to kill Sam now it is for his own good. Better now then when he turns into some monster."
"No one harms either one of my boys. Sam is not evil and I will not let anything happen to him when he has done no wrong."
"I know Sam never asked for this and is just an innocent victim but just because he is your son does not make him exempt."
The man moves in front of the camera but before he can get closer to Sam John barrels into him. Dean watches as the fight carries them back off screen. Sounds of objects being broken can be heard from the background. He knows he has nothing to worry about but when the man appears back on screen seemingly victorious Dean can't help but fear for his family safety. The man pulls a knife out and moves towards Sam.
"Sam wakeup!" Dean hears his dad shout from the background. Sam eyes flutter a little but that is the only response from him. Still his dad continues to shout at Sam as the man raises the knife for a killing blow. "Please wakeup. God no don't let this happen." Dean can only watch in horror as the knife plunges into his brother. He hears his dad yell one last panic shout as the knife enters Sam, "WAKEUP!"
Sam eyes snap open when the knife enters him but they are no longer the familiar hazel that Dean is use to seeing his whole life. Instead they are an eerie electric blue that Dean feels are piercing into his very soul even with it being on the TV. The man is thrown away from Sam with no visible action from Sam. Dean can only stare as Sam pulls the knife out of his body like it is nothing. Reminding him of when Cas did the same with the demon knife.
"What are you?" the man asks fearfully.
Sam turns his focus on to the man who stops moving. "I'm an angel of the Lord."
"Impossible" says the man.
Sam sits up from the chair in response but doesn't move away from the spot he is standing on. Suddenly from Sam's back burst magnificent wings. Bobby gasp next to Dean but Dean barely notice his mind busy thinking how the wings he has seen before pale in comparison to what he is now seeing. They are similar in the shape and out line of what are depicted of angels in art but they are not the solid bird like wings. They are shadowy as Cas had been but are more detailed then what he saw from Raphael. The wings behind Sam are formed from blue fire each flame giving form and taking shape of a feather. In a word the wings are breathtaking.
Suddenly the wings are gone and Sam is looking back and forth from the man to John who has come back into the picture frame. Sam takes a step forward and places his fingers on the man's forehead. When Sam pulls his hand away the man loses consciousness.
"What did you do? Where is my son?" John asks hesitantly. He doesn't know what to do because it is Sam but at the same time it is not. Like Sam is so much more then what he once was.
"I erased his memory of what transpired here. As for your son I am him and he is me we are one and the same. Do not worry I will go back to how I was before as if nothing happen. I am not supposed to be awake to my past self yet."
"Wait I have so many questions that maybe you could answer?"
"I do not know what the demons intentions are. God made me human so I can experience life as a human and gain a new perspective as far as I am aware of. My birth as a human should have remained secret. I also can not answer why he choose your family because I do not know but I can say he would only have chosen the best. That is true even with the deal in place."
Sam moves back and sits down on the seat he was in before. He starts to close his eyes but stops at John's next question. "Can you tell me which angel you are?"
Sam stares at John for a moment. The intensity of the stare is so great that John starts to fidget. "I'm the archangel Michael." Sam says finally before closing his eyes and going limp in the chair.
John's jaw has come lose from that proclamation but the moment Sam groans he is by his son side. "Hey Sammy are you okay?"
"Dad what is going on?" Sam eyes are barely open as he looks at his dad. "Are we still going to meet that hunting buddy of yours?"
"No we are not. Why don't you get some more rest okay?" Sam mumbles okay before closing his eyes again and falling asleep. John runs his hand through Sam's hair a couple minutes before lifting him up and carrying him away.
With nothing happening on the screen Bobby turns to Dean. "Shit nothing can ever be simple with you Winchester's can it?"
Dean doesn't acknowledge Bobby statement. He is too shock by all that he has seen. Sam didn't remember about what happen that day but Dad other hand. Why did he have to keep this entire thing secret? So much could have been avoided if he had revealed what he knew. Dean turns his focus back on the screen when his dad appears on it again.
John kneels down beside the unconscious man. "You should have never threatened Sam." John grabs the man but stops when he faces the camera. John looks as if he just remembers that the camera is still on. John lets go of the man and heads to the camera. John's body blocks the camera before it shuts off.
Dean thinks he understands Bobby's reaction to the voice now and he thinks how he no longer wants to find out who it is or what happen to him. Still Dean is proud to know that their Dad didn't condemn Sam immediately after learning the information and that he was still protective of Sam. However it also explains the slight change to their dad in regaurds to Sam after Dean came back. Perhaps that was why he had kept the truth to himself afraid of what effect that knowledge would have. At least Dad did not destroy the tape. Leaving it available for it to be found so that one day the truth could still be learned.
But it was a truth that Dean hadn't expected, that Sam really is Michael. If he got rid of Lucifer now, Sam no Michael would be upset and that would destroy his relationship with his brother.
A/N: I know this doesn't seem like a lot of Sam but he was there just under a spell. ;p
I so wanted Sam to show more of his power and cause more destruction. But if I did that then the question would be why the angels did not pick up on Michael's power being used. Also if I caused such major destruction to the room it would be weird if the camera was left intact and it kept on recording and I just didn't want to cut the tape there. I hate where I left this at but I was spent and I just couldn't write more for this chapter.
Next chapter will have Michael I think. The question is who will meet him first Dean or Cas and Anna.
