A/N: My brother practically wrote the ending for this chapter so I have to thank him for that and for plotting this story for me. And thanks everyone for reading this. Truly means a lot to me that you guys take the time to do so.

Chapter 15

"I thought we were going to the hospital," Kayla said getting out of the car.

Dean was already limping his way to the front door. "What made you think that?"

"You're bleeding, Dean. And limping."

"I've had worse."

John broke the conversation when he unlocked the front door the their house. "All of you inside, right now."

Sam and Dean shared a look before going in. After John closed the door, they waited for him to start shouting at them. They had disobeyed an order and now it was time to face the music. "I told you boys to go home. Why were the both of you at the cabin?"

Sam who anticipated the question, immediately answered. "We were just trying to help Kayla."

"How? By getting yourselves killed?"

Dean jumped in the conversation before it turned into a fight between his father and his brother. "I thought it was the best thing to do, Dad. We didn't know how long would it take for you to reach there. She could have died if someone didn't get there on time."

"That's no excuse to put you life in danger too. All three of you could have died. You boys are never to go on a hunt alone, you understand me?"

"Yes sir," came the simultaneous answer.

John sighed before he continued. "Dean, get yourself cleaned up." Dean immediately left for the bathroom. "Sam, pack your bag. We're leaving."

"What about the demon? It's still after Kayla."

"I know. That's why she's coming with us."

Kayla who was just standing there as the Winchester family drama unfolded finally spoke up. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. I'm not going anywhere with you guys."

John motioned Sam to pack his bag. "Look, I know that you don't know what's going on but you have to come with us."

"The only place that I have to be is the hospital and then back home."

"We'll get you home. But you need to come with us right now. It's for your own good."

"What?"

"That demon is looking for and it's gonna keep looking for you. When it does, it will kill you. I'm just trying to stop it."

"A demon? It was a man for Christ sake. A psychotic man!"

"When was the last time you heard of a man who survived a bullet to the heart but got hurt by a little bit of water?" Dean asked emerging from the bathroom, looking better than he did before he entered.

"Never," came a defeated reply. "But a demon?"

"I know it sounds crazy but if there was any other way, my Dad wouldn't make you leave town."

Kayla stood there dumbfounded with no idea what to believe or what to do. The one thing she was sure of is that this family was trying to help her. "Fine. I'll go."

They spent fifteen minutes to pack and dress Kayla's wound. John decided that Kayla would ride with him and the boys would follow behind. Kayla was on the phone with her mother while Sam was checking that they locked the house properly when Dean and John were loading their things in the car. "Hey Dad, where are we headed anyway?"

"Bobby's. I'm hoping he'll have something for us in his books."

"And if he doesn't?" Sam asked, joining them.

"We'll see."

Kayla went to where the Winchesters were after she was done. "What did you say to your Mom?"

"That I'm spending the weekend in my friends' house."

"We might take a lot longer," John told her honestly.

"That's why we should be glad Monday's a holiday. Can we go now? You know before I bolt."

Jack Rhode was driving home after a long week on a business trip out of town. He was looking forward to spending time with his girlfriend who he hoped would be his fiancée by the end of the weekend. He was planning his proposal when a man suddenly appeared in front of his car. Jack stepped on the breaks as hard he could. The car stopped right before it hit the man. Jack didn't move, still shocked. The man on the other hand, walked to the driver's side of the car.

He opened the door and dragged Jack out. The man grabbed him by the collar and slammed him to the side of the car. "What the hell are you doing?" Jack struggled to get free but he felt himself grow weaker and weaker. "What are you doing to me? Please stop. Sto-"

Dropping Jacks' soulless body on the road, Dviel smiled. "Run all you want, Kayla. I will find you."
