Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural or the characters. However I do own the AU verse and the OCs. The universe of Silthrims and Royalia are mine. Some dialogues used in this chapter are also based on the ones used in the original show along with many of my own - to fit things into the storyline.
The story is UnBeta'd as of now. However, special thanks to deansbabygirl934, who took me up on my request and provided much helpful insight and feedback. If you're reading this, thanks.
A/N : Hey there, everyone! Hope you're great… So, um… just 2 reviews in the last chappie … Was it that bad? Never mind. Here goes my take on Bloody Mary… I had to watch the episode thrice or more I guess… I lost count… and God it scared me every time… Okay, so yes, I guess I scare quick. So at least now you can understand the pain I went through to put this up… So please R&R… hehe … just kidding… I'm just happy I could finish it off. I have finished the next chappie as well… the end would definitely be twisted just as it was in Dead in The Water, though not much I guess… well, do read and review, else I'll never know if I'm going the right way or wrong! I am like so nervous putting this up now but thanks for reading anyways.
Will be eagerly awaiting your reviews and/or PMs…

Bloody Mary I
Bloody Mary- Three times in the bathroom mirror. She took his eyes, that's what she does
"Sammy, you're an idiot… you should've taken her number!"
"Matt, dude, we're on a case…"
"So what, man…? Okay, was she hot…?" Matt asked Dean, ignoring Sam. Dean smirked. "Sammy, you're a moron!"
"The Bloody Mary legend- Dad ever find any evidence that it was a real thing?" Sam changed the subject deftly.
"None that I know of." Dean was pretty sure he'd have known.
"I mean, everywhere else all over the country, kids will play Bloody Mary, and as far as we know, no one dies from it."
"Yeah well maybe everywhere it's just a story but here it's actually happening." Matt said matter-of-factly. "The place where the legend began, maybe?"
Dean shrugged his shoulder. "But according to the legend, the person who says—um… The person, who says you know what, gets it. But here—"
"Shoemaker gets it instead, yeah." Sam finished for them.
"Never heard anything like that before. Still, the guy did die right in front of the mirror, and the daughter's right. The way the legend goes, you know who scratches your eyes out." Dean was a bit confused himself, not that he was going to admit it… yet.
"Say Bloody Mary really is haunting this town. There's gonna be some sort of proof—like a local woman who died nasty." Ryan spoke for the first time in ages… he was glad they had let him off the hook… at least for now… and he wanted to make every effort to keep it that way.
Dean didn't say anything…Ryan still looked shaky and pale to Dean… but he wasn't letting Ryan out of his sight any time soon… besides the kid was jumpy…and the only thing that seemed reassuring to him was them… his brothers…
"Yeah but a legend this widespread it's hard. I mean, there's like 50 versions of who she actually is. One story says she's a witch, another says she's a mutilated bride, there's a lot more." Sam was just glad that Ryan had spoken at last, even as he pushed open the Library door.
"All right so what are we supposed to be looking for?" Matt asked, looking around… Research was so not his thing.
"Every version's got a few things in common. It's always a woman named Mary, and she always dies right in front of a mirror. So we've gotta search local newspapers—public records as far back as they go. See if we can find a Mary who fits the bill." Sam's mind was already on an overdrive.
"Well that sounds annoying." Dean wasn't a Library person either…he hated it as much as Matt does…
And the fact that the computers were OUT OF ORDER didn't really make any of them any happier, even Ryan and Sammy sighed resignedly.

The flames engulfed her…. Why Sam?
Sam woke with a start… His brothers looked at him concerned. He wasn't pleased. "Why'd you let me fall asleep?"
"'Cause I'm an awesome brother." Dean wasn't ready to let it go yet. "So what did you dream about?"
"Lollipops and candy canes"
"Yeah sure…"
Sam knew they meant well, but, he wasn't ready yet… "Did you find anything?"
"Oh besides a whole new level of frustration? No. I've looked at everything. A few local women, a Laura and a Catherine committed suicide in front of a mirror, and a giant mirror fell on a guy named Dave, but uh, no Mary." Dean was frustrated.
"Maybe we just haven't found it yet." Matt said hoping to cheer them up. It would have been convincing if he himself was plain irritated.
"I've also been searching for strange deaths in the area, you know…eyeball bleeding, that sort of thing. There's nothing. Whatever's happening here, maybe it just ain't Mary." Ryan sighed wearily.
That was the exact same moment Sam's cell went off. "Hello…?"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"Wait, wait, wait, you're doing a nationwide search?" Sam looked away from the bulletin board.
Dean is glued to the laptop. "Yep. The NCIC, the FBI database—at this point any Mary who died in front of a mirror is good enough for me."
They had returned from Donna's place…well, she had practically shown them the door… of course, Linda Shoemaker had struck a chord…
"But if she's haunting the town, she should have died in the town."
"I'm telling you there's nothing local, I've checked. So unless you got a better idea—"
"The way Mary's choosing her victims, it seems like there's a pattern." Ryan cut in before they could get into an argument.
"I know, I was thinking the same thing." Sam nodded from his bed. "With Mr. Shoemaker killing his wife Linda…everybody thought the drug overdose was an accident and Jill's hit and run with Gary Bryman… I mean she ran over an 8-year-old boy…. But nobody got the plates or saw the driver. They both went scott-free"
"And they both had secrets where people died." Matt and Dean said in unison.
"Right. I mean there's a lot of folklore about mirrors-that they reveal all your lies, all your secrets, that they're a true reflection of your soul, which is why it's bad luck to break them." Ryan continued on his theory.
"Right, right. So maybe if you've got a secret, I mean like a really nasty one where someone died, then Mary sees it, and punishes you for it." Sam scowled thoughtfully.
"Whether you're the one that summoned her or not." Ryan frowned too…
"Hey", Dean's call broke them out their trance… "Take a look at this." He hands them two print-outs… one, a picture of a woman laying by a mirror in a puddle of blood, while the other being picture of a handprint and the letters Tre
The handprint looked similar to the one they had seen in Donna's house. "Looks like the same handprint."
"Her name was Mary Worthington—an unsolved murder in Fort Wayne, Indiana."

"Talk about tragedy…. Being murdered by the guy you dated sucks!" Matt said wisely. "And not to mention her eyes being cut out! Why the hell did he do that though… the Trevor guy I mean…."
"We don't know that for sure… yeah, so the sheriff thinks that it might have been surgeon Trevor Sampson… but it was never proved… No one even knows she dated him… she just referred to her boyfriend as T… there could be loads of people with names stating with T…."
"Yeah, Ry, why don't you ask her? Oh wait, she's dead and she's on a killing spree…!" Matt grumbled. "And on top of that they had to return the mirror to the family! Why can't things be simple for us - once in a while, at least?"
"Shhh…" Dean hushed him meaningfully as Sam got in…
"Oh really? Ah that's too bad Mr. Worthington. I would have paid a lot for that mirror. Okay, well maybe next time. All right, thanks." Sam hung up with a dejected sigh as Dean started his baby. Even the thought made Matt roll his eyes.
"So?"
"So that was Mary's brother. The mirror was in the family for years, until he sold it one week ago to a store called Estate Antiques - a store in Toledo."
"So wherever the mirror goes, that's where Mary goes?"
"Her spirit's definitely tied up with it somehow"
"Isn't there an old superstition that says mirrors can capture spirits?" Matt asked.
"Yeah there is. Yeah, when someone would die in a house people would cover up the mirrors so the ghost wouldn't get trapped."
"So Mary dies in front of a mirror, and it draws in her spirit."
"Yeah, but, how could she move through, like a hundred different mirrors?"
"I don't know, but if the mirror is the source, I say we find it and smash it."
"Yeah, I don't know, maybe." Sam shrugged. His phone rang… "Hello…? Charlie…? Calm down… yeah, we're on our way…"
