"That's so freakin' like him Dean! There is so much more going on that he won't tell us."
"Dude, just shut up and keep digging, the sooner we get this over and done with the better."
"Guys, stop digging. The spirits are already gone. John's already salted and burned the damn things."
Dean and Sam stopped digging and turned to face Darcy. She sat on the edge of the large coffin hole they had dug and swung her legs irritably. All around her were various signs that John had already been, and damn it she knew that something more was involved. She jumped down and nudged at the burnt piece of wood that lay next to her foot. Sam swore loudly and moved to jump back up, pausing to give Darcy a hand up herself.
"We have to get back there."
John sighed as he watched his sons pull away. He had a sneaking suspicion that Valover would perhaps stop them, but from all appearances she was as fooled as they were. He knew all about the 'special children' and was surprised when he found out that her mother was never killed like the rest of the children. Probably had to do with the fact that she had shifter DNA swimming around in her.
He walked back into the closet and shut the doors, looking up and around him at the walk-in robe. He couldn't believe that after all this searching the demon would target random. None of them with children either. He leant against the wall and closed his eyes, massaging his temples with his right hand.
"Head-aches again John?"
He jumped and turned around, noticing a rather pretty auburn haired woman sitting on a box. The only thing about her that alerted him to the fact she wasn't human was her golden eyes. He shrugged.
"Figured you'd still be here. I guess that's better than you murdering all those innocent women."
The woman looked sad and pretended to wipe a fake tear from her eye.
"Now, now John, no need to be like that. Aren't you glad you found me?"
He snorted in amusement and walked back out of the closet, the woman sauntering after him. She sat on the blood-soaked bed and fell back into it with a grin plastered over her face. John couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"So, why'd you kill the woman?"
She sat up and looked at him, a look of disappointment on her face.
"Because, Ray knew Darcy and Darcy knew Sam who is related to you. I figured you'd give them co-ords to deal with the ghosts and then find out about me and come yourself. Then I would have all three Winchesters!"
She clapped her hands excitedly before she placed them in her lap. John stood at the window and stared out, remembering the night on which his wife was killed. He turned back to the demon, anger burning in his eyes.
"Why us? And why is Valover involved?"
She made a 'duh' face at him and folded her arms.
"Not very smart are you? Once I kill you and Dean I'll have Sammy all to myself. Darcy will be able to help him, and the war can start. All you hunters will die."
And in that moment he knew…
A/N: Muahahaha, cliff hanger for the end of the story. What did John find out? Will the others get back in time? Oh my! You know you want to hit that little purple box!
