Secrets

Chapter 19 – Seeking Help

Dean trudged through the forest, moving quickly toward what he hoped was the cabin that Melissa hand mentioned. As he walked, he thought back over the past few months. Ever since his father had told him he had to save Sam or he might have to kill him, he'd had one nightmare after the other. How was he supposed to protect Sam when he didn't even know what to protect him from? The cryptic message left by his father did nothing to help him figure out much less make plans to keep his brother out of the demon's hands.

Then add Sam's freaky abilities along with who knew how many other psychics were roaming around and the fact that Bobby and Ellen had both hinted at some type of war coming. Dean's head was spinning. He just wanted to find a place to hole up with Sam until it all blew over. Dean felt ill equipped to handle what he was afraid was coming. "Damn Dad, why didn't you tell me everything you knew instead of giving me that cryptic crap! How am I supposed to keep him safe if we run into more of these 'special children'? And will I be able to kill Sam if I can't save him from whatever his 'destiny' was supposed to be?" Dean thought as the cabin came into view. He knew only two things, one he didn't believe in destiny and two he would do whatever it took to keep his brother safe.

"Well Dad, you really left me in a mess here but for now I guess I'll just have to do what Sammy and I do best…improvise!" Dean moved quickly towards the cabin, being careful to stay in the shadows. He didn't want any more surprises. As he got to the door, he noticed the blood on the floor, more evidence of what his brother had been through. He moved in, looking around he found the phone that Melissa hand mentioned. "Just freakin great!" Dean said as he picked up the receiver only to find the cord was broken. Dean threw the phone in his frustration. He began to search the cabin for supplies. At least the cabin had clean sheets, towels and some medical supplies. Grabbing a couple of pillow cases, Dean quickly began to load them with things that he needed.

Taking a last look around, he headed back towards Sam, he just hoped that Trisha had decided to leave. But of course, that would mean that he would need a little good luck, something that seemed to elude the Winchesters like the plague. "Ok Dad, if you're around…now would be a good time to help out."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Andy sat on the edge of the bed watching Sam toss on the bed. "Dean…please…I didn't turn evil…please Dean." Sam had been crying for his brother for over an hour. "Sam, I don't know if you can hear me man, but your brother has gone for help. He'll be back for you I promise."

Andy sighed as he stood to once again look out the window. There had been no further sign of Trisha, but he had a feeling that she wasn't done with them yet. He walked over to where Melissa was sitting. She had refused to move from the corner and periodically had sobbed softly. "So Melissa, how about you come out here and sit in this chair…it's got to be more comfortable than that cold floor. I've got some water here and I found a bag of peanut M&M's in the car. Not really the best for nutrition…but heh, at least they don't melt in your hands?" Andy smiled as he heard a soft giggle.

Melissa stood and walked warily to the chair, accepting the water as she drank thirstily. "Thanks, but I think I'll pass on the M&M's" Melissa said softly. She looked at the young man as he stood looking nervously out the window. He definitely looked out of place.

"So how do you know Sam?" Melissa asked softly.

Andy sighed and took a seat next to the young woman. "Well, it all started when my evil twin brother decided to show up. He was using his mind control abilities to kill people. Actually, Sam and Dean came and thought at first that it was me doing the killing."

"But you don't look like you're a killer, how could they think that?" Melissa asked, intrigued by the story that Andy was telling her.

"Sam had a vision, a death vision of people being killed. I don't know how, but they found out that I had the ability to make people do what I wanted. Mind you, I never abuse it. That wouldn't be right. But, well…let's just say I used it enough to get by."

"So why did your brother kill people?" Melissa looked towards the window, wondering if that would provide an answer to why her sister killed.

"I'm not sure. You see I was adopted, so I never met my brother until 8 months before…" Andy paused looking away and swallowing.

"Before what Andy?"

"Before I killed him. I didn't want to; in fact Sam and I had a plan so that we could try to capture him alive. But he would have killed my girlfriend…I couldn't let him kill anyone else." Andy looked away but turned back as he felt a soft hand on his arm.

"It sounds to me like you didn't have any choice Andy…I don't think you're a killer." Melissa could see that it still upset him.

"Yeah, well before he died, my brother told me that the man with yellow eyes visited him in his dreams. According to Sam and Dean, the man who visited my brother was a demon…a demon that was controlling him somehow, making him a killer." Andy looked at Sam. Sam had told him that he was afraid this demon would try to make him evil, and was glad that Andy hadn't been affected. But Andy wondered if it was just a matter of time for him as well.

"So, do you think he could have been saved…I mean, do you think that Sam and Dean could have helped him get rid of this demon?" Melissa asked softly.

Andy looked at Melissa and shrugged. "If any one could have helped him, it would have been them. But he was too far gone…he loved the power and enjoyed killing; I could see it in his eyes. I wish it were different, but if I hadn't killed him…I think he would have continued to kill others…maybe even killed me. But how did you get here?"

Melissa looked away for a moment and then told Andy the same thing she had told Sam. She was sobbing in Andy's arms by the time she finished. "Shhhh Melissa, look you couldn't help yourself. Your sister is under the control of the demon, I don't know if we can save her…but we can try."

Melissa looked up at Andy. "I don't know Andy, Sam tried…he told her what was going on but she wouldn't listen. She enjoys the killing Andy and I don't think she wants to stop. I just wish there was some way to get through to her."

Andy looked at Sam again. "Well, if anyone can get through to her…I'm betting Sam would be the one. What we need to do is figure out a way to contain her, keep her from using her mind control on you…you said you can move things with your mind right?"

Melissa nodded. "Yes, my powers have been getting stronger, probably because she's making me use them more. I used to get terrible headaches, but now…there is just a dull ache. I just get really tired after a session and need to sleep."

Andy smiled. "Ok, so if Trisha comes back, I will help you so that you can pin her against the wall. I'll take some of the rope I found in the Impala and tie her up…if need be, I think I can knock her out" Andy looked less than certain, after all he had never hit a woman, but as he heard Sam cry out once more in his sleep he realized that he would do anything to get Sam to safety. They could deal with Trisha later.

"Do you think you can do that Melissa?" Andy asked

"I can try…but what will Dean say when he finds out what I've done to his brother?" Melissa asked fearfully.

Andy patted her on the shoulder. "He'll understand, believe me. Your sister forced him to deliver Sam into her hands…he is feeling like he has failed his brother right now. He'll understand that you couldn't help what your sister made you do."

"I don't know…I mean, Sam seemed to understand and I did try to help him…but then Trisha found us. But Dean…I saw the way he looked at Trisha…if he finds out that I'm the one who actually did this to Sam…He'll…he'll."

"I'll do what Melissa…what haven't you told me?" Dean said as he entered the cabin. His cold eyes pinning Melissa to the chair. "You're part of this aren't you?" Dean said as he dropped the pillow cases he was holding and pulled his gun.
