Beneath my Skin

Sam double checked his bag making sure that he had every possible thing he could ever need to go against the demon. He looked over at Dean momentarily and watched as he pouted.

He was leant against the pillows his arms folded across his chest his mouth pulled into a pout. Sam shook his head in understanding, if he was in Deans position he would doing the exact same thing. Sam knew how much Dean wanted to be in the fight and he also knew that it wasn't possible.

"Be careful, you need help ill be there within an hour" Max said coming back into the room a silver gun held securely in her hand. Sam smiled and nodded his head in understanding, he opened his arms and Max allowed her self to fall into them, her head resting against his chest.

"Take care Sammy" She muttered, she wanted to be there, she wanted to be at their side when they faced the demon and she wanted to be their in case they figured out how to get rid of it. But there was a niggling feeling in the back of her head that was telling her this wasn't as it seemed that something was wrong.

She knew it was a trap but she just couldn't be sure who the trap was for, and if the trap was for Dean then she wanted to make sure she was with him so he could have at least a chance to defend him self.

"I will" Sam replied pulling away from Max his eyes wondering over to Dean who was sat looking over at the both of them. Dean nodded his head in his direction and Sam returned the gesture.

There would be no good lucks, there would be no take cares or I love you, because they were Winchesters and they did not show weakness, well Dean didn't any way. Sam shook his head slowly, Dean had told him his fears about the plans the demon had for Max, and Sam had returned them, he walked over to Dean and clasped his hand onto his shoulder squeezing slightly, letting Dean know all he needed to know with out having to speak anything.

"Take this" Max said seating herself on the bed next to Dean, her leg touching his slightly, and Sam realized just how intimate the gesture was, and he had no idea if he should been comforted by how close the two of them had gotten.

Max held out the gun she had come into the room with earlier and Sam looked at it with curiosity before taking the gun out of her hand.

"Hollow silver tipped gun, filled with rock salt and holly water, you guys get into trouble this will give you enough time to regroup" Sam nodded his head and ejected the cartridge his eyes looking over the small silver bullets.

He nodded his thanks and turned his head when he heard the knock at the door. Dean was the one who called out, letting whoever was on the other end of the door know they could come in.

Ellen walked into the room slowly her eyes looking over at Dean, Dean smiled in her direction and sat up slightly straighter as he allowed her to rake her eyes over his body making sure nothing else was wrong. When she had finished her exam of him she turned sad eyes onto Sam.

"Take care of her and bring her home safe" She said and Sam nodded his head in an instance. It had taken a lot of persuading but in the end Ellen had agreed to allow Jo go on the hunt with them, on the one condition that she stayed by the side of either John or Sam at all times.

"Yes Ma'am" Sam replied his back straightening as if he was talking to his father. Ellen nodded her head and pulled him into a hug for a second before she looked around at the two of them and then left the room.

"I want you to be careful" Dean said his eyes boring into Sam, because he just could not get rid of the feeling that something was going to happen.

"I will" Sam replied, the two brothers looked at each other for the longest moment, each of them letting each other no what the other was feeing, and Max felt like she was intruding in on something. When they finally broke away Sam nodded in her direction and hiked his bag onto his shoulders before he turned and left the room, leaving both Dean and Sam with un easy feelings in their stomach.

Max checked for the four hundredth time that every door and window had a salt line around it, she walked from room to room with both the emf reader and a gun making sure that everything was the way it was supposed to be. When she was pleased that nothing was out of the ordinary she made her way back to the room that Dean was staying in.

She opened the door quietly not knowing whether he would be asleep or not, but when she opened the door she found him sitting up in bed a laptop and various papers scatted around him. Max laughed softly and closed the door with a soft click.

"So much for resting" She said walking over to him and seating herself behind him, her arms wrapping around his stomach her head resting into his shoulder as she started at the screen in front of him.

"Dean why are you looking at protective amulets" She questioned her brow raised. She felt him stiffen underneath her arms and she knew he was hiding some thing from her.

"Max" Dean started only to stop when he felt her pull away from him, his body aching for her touch.

"Dean" She moved out from behind him and seated herself in front of him so she could see his face. He looked up at her with sad and tired eyes and Max relented slightly she reached her hand out and Dean met her half way.

"What did Tristan show you?" Dean furrowed his brow as he thought back to what he had been shown; he pulled his bottom lip between his teeth and looked up at Max.

"The demon doesn't want you he wants your amulet" Max raised her head in understanding her free hand coming up to play with it

"Why?" She questioned her eyes searching Deans, begging him to help her understand. Dean shook his head slowly not knowing what to tell her because in truth he didn't know anything other then what he had just told her.

"I don't know but im going to find out" He replied his eyes and the slight squeeze of his hand letting her know he was serious. Max nodded her head and smiled before she leant across and bridged the gap between the two of them and captured his lips with her own.

They only pulled away when a loud shrill broke through the calm full bliss that they had created between the two of them. Both Max's and Dean's eyes widened in shock as they both turned to each other, a mixture of fear and sorrow written in their eyes.

Max leapt into action thrusting a gun into Deans hands she could tell by the look on his face he was itching to help her, could see the slight fear in his eyes when she took out her own gun and headed for the door. She kissed his forehead and turned to the door she nodded her head and placed her hand onto the knob.

"That's the emf in the kitchen if im not back in ten minuets get on the phone to your dad and get him back here"
