Voices in My Head
Chapter 9
Note: Yes, I know, it's been a LONG TIME since I've updated. But what else is new, eh? Sorry. Yes, I know. I'm a horrible person. Forgive me? Will an update help the forgiving process? I know it will.
It's summer now, so (hopefully) there will be more updates more frequently!!

Dean lay in bed, having been awoken by Sam. He felt groggy and tired, he hadn't been getting much sleep at all lately. And after his little trip to the kitchen in the middle of the night last night, he was even more tired. But he knew he couldn't fall asleep. Even when everyone else was awake, he could still hear their thoughts, they manipulated his dreams. He couldn't block it out when he slept, but he'd gotten pretty good at blocking it out while he was awake. Every once in a while he'd slip and get a major migraine, but he hadn't passed out since the diner. Well, he hadn't passed out in front of anyone anyway. He'd passed out on his bed a few days ago, he'd been dead tired and couldn't block it out, so the migraine became too much and he passed out. But he'd 'slept' eight hours that night, which was pretty good.
He was also having newer nightmares lately. It would just be him and the Demon. The demon would just keep telling him about how he was going to make them kill eachother. Yea, that was nothing new. But he'd told Dean something new. You and Sam? Once your dead I'll have complete control of you. You'll direct my army, and together we'll take down all that is good. The light will be no more. Dean always woke up shaking from that. Great, not only would he and his little brother kill their own parents, then they'd be turned against the light…Fuck. He didn't want to tell Sam about this new information. I mean, jeez the kid already had self-loathing issues to begin with.
But his thoughts kept drifting back to Missouri's words. "They will try to turn you, and they will try to mess with your heads, but they'll never turn you. You're too strong." Could she be right?
He sat up and rubbed his eyes, trying to awaken somewhat. He looked to the clock to see it was quarter to nine. He groaned at how early it was, but by the lack of sensing dreams he knew everyone else was awake already. He stretched, shaking the tiredness away and walked to the bathroom.

Once Dean made it downstairs, fully dressed and clean, he saw only Mary and Sam were at the table. Missouri looked up from the dishes she was washing before Dean even made a sound. She smiled warmly at him, Dean marveled at how she didn't look tired at all.
"Mornin' sunshine." She grinned, Dean merely grunted. "What are you boys gonna do today?" She was asking both Sam and Dean, but she was staring directly at the elder.
Dean glared at Missouri for a second before turning to Sam. "I was thinking, uh…maybe we could try to work our…shining, or whatever." Dean didn't want to call it a 'power'.
Mary seemed to beam at the idea, and Sam grinned and nodded, "Sure, that'll work." When Dean turned to get some coffee Sam looked to Mary and gave her a thanking smile. She waved he hand in a 'No problem' way and went back to the dishes.

Sam and Dean sat directly across from eachother. Sitting alone in the living room, no one knew where John went, and Missouri was keeping Mary busy so Dean and Sam could concentrate.
They'd been sitting like this for almost 15 minutes, trying to get Dean to read Sam's thoughts. Dean let out an angry sigh "This isn't working."
"We just need to concentrate harder. You can do it Dean. Now, come on. Try again."
Dean sighed and nodded. He decided to try closing his eyes. He was trying hard, he really was. But all he could think about was the dreams he'd been having. He concentrated hard, clearing his mind of any thought. He could hear Sam's voice, almost as if it were in the distance, coming closer. But after only a second it was blocked out by a loud booming voice
"Winchester."
Dean clutched his temples and felt Sam grab his hands. Dean's head shot up and Missouri ran into the room. "He's here." They said at once. Sam looked from Dean, to Missouri, to Mary who'd run in after Missouri.
"Is he possessing someone?" Sam asked
Missouri opened her mouth to answer, but the voice filled Dean's head again and he clutched his temples "Complete control, Dean…" Dean could feel Sam clutching his wrists, and Dean used all his might to push the Demon from his mind.
What happened next, shocked them all. A voice boomed overhead, as if on a loud speaker. "You've gotten stronger Dean, and you were pretty strong to begin with…just remember what I told you"
All their eyes were wide "How did he talk without a human shell?" Mary asked, her mouth hanging open.
"He's getting stronger by the day." Missouri whispered, looking from the woman, to her sons. Aww fuck. This was just getting better and better.
Dean and Sam bit their lips in worry. But then Sam got a look on his face and turned to Dean "What did he mean 'Remember what I told you'?"
--
(dramatic music plays) OHNOES! Dean is gonna have to tell Sam about ruling the armies! Was this worth it? I really pray it was…
Sorry for the long wait, again.
