Beneath my Skin
"You don't understand, its Gordon, Gordon has Max" Dean felt his hear skip a beat and he turned his head down to look at Jo, he shook his head, he knew what Gordon was capable of he knew what he could do, and add the demon into the mix then Max was in very serious trouble, they needed to find her and fast.
"Which way did they go" It was the calming voice of his father that spoke the question and Dean turned his head slightly, giving a grateful look in his direction, John nodded his head in understanding, he had seen the way that they looked at each other, had seen the growing attraction, and could see the pain in his eyes when he though he was going to lose her.
"Err, I dunno, no wait, they headed of towards o god mom" Jo pushed her way from Dean and fought through the wind and the rain, as she headed in the direction of the roadhouse, the three Winchesters barely hesitated before following her, their guns raised.
"Mom" Jo shouted as she ran into the roadhouse Dean hot on her heels, he eyed the roadhouse desperately trying to find Jo, at last his eyes landed on her, she was stood staring at the far wall, he raised his brow and headed over to her, his gun raised out in front of her. He stopped at the side of her, his eyes widening in shock, he shook his head not sure what he was seeing, but he knew, in his heart he knew what he was seeing, he shook his head. It was Max and she had a gun to Ash's head, her hand held tightly around his throat.
John and Sam came to a stop behind Dean, who had his gun trained in front of him, his hand shaking slightly, their eyes follow his to land onto Max, and a very afraid looking Ash, his face turning paler by the second, as her hand cuts of the oxygen.
"Max" Sam whispers stepping closer to his brother, he looks down at his hand and can see that he is shaking a sure sign he isn't sure about what he is doing.
Max flicks her eyes of Dean for a second, and allows them to roam over to Sammy, her eyes roaming up and down his body approvingly, her eyes taking on a hungry gleam, before she finally rests on his face, a smirk forming across her face.
Sam shakes his head the smirk more un nerving then the way she had just looked him over, because the smirk was just so unlike her, it was pure evil.
"Sammy" She all but sings to him, her hand loosening slightly on Ash's throat, the only thing stopping any one from taking action, that and the fact none of them wanted to hurt her. She laughs slightly and takes of the safety of her gun, causing John to take out his own gun.
"O please John you really think your gonna shoot me" She mocked her eyes turning on him, her eyes flaring black for a moment.
"But then again wouldn't be the first time you killed a human would it, hummmm Bill ring any bells" John blanches and he lowers his gun, as that night came back to him, Bill laying on the floor, his side split open, he was losing blood, there was no way in hell he was going to survive, begging to see his family again, it was the only way, it was humane, he couldn't leave him like that.
"What's a matter Johnny boy cat got ya tongue, why don't you tell Ellen and her lovely daughter Jo over there how you put a bullet in his head, how he begged to see his family one last time, how you screwed up, how you killed him"
Ellen gripped onto the bar as she eyed the women in front of her, what she was saying was hurting like hell, but it wasn't the words it was the way she spoke them, so mocking and sing song cut her to the bone, tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes and she shook her head, her eyes once again focusing on the women she classed as a daughter.
"No" She shook her head again and when Max laughed a cold emotionless laugh she felt her body go faint, she shook her head and felt strong arms grip hold of her and she turned to see John. He looked down at her with such sorry and guilt filled eyes that more tears came to the surface.
"Im sorry" The words came out so quiet and heartfelt that Ellen momentarily forgot what was happening around her, and she was so focused on the man in front of her, she nodded her head slowly, she had forgiven him a very long time ago, and yes it hurt and brought back the feeling of hate she once held for him, but she also knew he wouldn't have done it, wouldn't have finished the job if there was even a remote chance he would have survived.
"O this is quite touching really, I mean it I almost feel a tear" Sam snapped his gaze away from the touching moment with his father and Ellen and turned cold eyes onto Max or the demon who ever the hell she was.
"You've been in her the whole time" Max smirked and looked over at Sam, before her eyes wondered over Dean, her tongue coming out to lick at her lips in a suggestive manner, reminding Dean of the thoughts and feelings he had for the women in front of him.
No, he shook his head, this wasn't a women this was a demon, he had to remember that, the women he thought he had fell for was nothing more then a demon, the things she had said and done, were the demons doing, not hers, so in reality he really didn't know Max as well he had thought, as well as he had wanted.
"O don't worry Dean o, I wasn't in her all the time, that real nice cozy conversation you had with her earlier that was all her, in fact ive only been in her a handful of times, the first time you met her in fact, it was me who put a bullet in the shifter not her, and it was me who told you all about her poor dear brother, and it was also me who let Gordon go"
The demon mocked her eyes softening slightly, Dean shakes his head momentarily, he will not let this demon get in his head, he will not let him detour him, he his a hunter for god sake, so why in gods name was he having such a problem with the task at hand, why was he finding it increasingly difficult to keep his gun pointed at her.
"You know Sam asked you once why you had such blind faith in your father, when in fact, he should have asked you why you had such blind faith in him, why no matter what you wont let any harm come to him, why you would die to protect him, but ya know what that's what's going to happen, your going to die at his hands, now if only you had let Gordon kill him when you had the chance"
Dean shook his head, his love for his brother kicking in over any feelings he had for the women in front of him, he raised the gun his hands no longer shaking and stepped forward.
"Ah ah, you move another muscle and his blood is going to be on your hands"
Sam came forward and laid a comforting hand on to his shoulder; Dean turned to look at him, and sighed in defeat lowering his gun. Sam smiled and nodded his thanks before turning to Max, and stepping in front of his brother so he could see her better.
"How did you do it, I mean you walked in and out of a devils trap" Max laughed and moved her body slightly, her eyes wondering up and down Sam.
"Quite easy actually, this thing here, blocks any sort of magic, which includes devils traps" Max said fingering the ring around her neck.
Sam nodded his head he had wondered why Max had ripped the necklace of the shifters neck, but he had just presumed it was special to her, like Deans was to him, he sighed and ran his hand through his hair, they needed to get the situation under control, and fast, but they also needed the answers to the questions.
"Why dad, why bring him back" Max shoved Ash out of her hands sending him flying through the air, his body connecting with the wall with a sickening thud.
"Now that Sammy boy is easy….what makes a human turn on their own race, seeing there family dying over and over again, first in there head when there asleep, then when there awake, one second your having a nice friendly conversation then your watching yourself killing the ones you love…..That Sammy boy is why I brought your father back, because one day you will kill him, and you will kill your brother………im a patient demon Sam, and what I want I always get, so trust me when I say this, you can not fight your destiny."
Sams face blanched at the thought of him killing his family, and all their hard work in getting him to believe he wasn't going to turn evil was instantly undo, the demon had just proven what he was capable of, taking a skilled hunter un aware possessing one of their own and they didn't even no it, and Sam couldn't help but think the demon was capable of far worse things that he had yet to show.
Max's head snapped back her body falling to her knees her mouth open in a silent scream black smoke exiting her mouth, spiraling around the room, before finally exiting through the door, Max stayed up right momentarily, her eyes searching in front of her, before her body fell forwards, but she never connected with the floor, Dean had her in his arms before she even managed to get with in and inch of it.
"Max come on open your eyes" Dean pleaded lightly tapping the side of her face, his eyes searching over to his father, silently asking him what they were going to do next.
"Dean" Her voice was weak and afraid and Deans heart lurched he had never heard her so un sure of afraid.
"Its over, your ok, we're all ok" Max shook her head as and she grabbed hold of his hand, she shook her head again, her eyes closing, her mind bringing forward all the things the demon had made her see, all the plans for children like her brother, children like Sam, but that wasn't what was frightening her the most, it was what Sam was capable of, she had watched him kill his father, and then Dean, the demon had gotten what he wanted, and nothing was going to stop Sam, nothing. They had to stop him, they had to find away to kill the demon, before he got his hands on the demon, because if the didn't and the demon succeeded, then nothing was going to stop the demons plans, because Sam truly would be unstoppable.
"No, No we're not, where never going to be ok, not now, we need to end it before its to late, before we cant save him"
