A/N: Hello everyone! Here' s the next chapter. Hope you like it!
Dean pulled into the gas station. He looked over at Sam who was still asleep; he decided not to wake him. He felt a hand brush the back of his head. He turned back to Katie who smiled and hopped out the backseat of the car. Dean got out of the driver side grabbing her and pinning her to the side of the car. She reached her arms around his neck as he brought his lips to hers. After a few moments they finally pulled away, never taking their bodies from each other.
"So this grandma Rose, should I be afraid?" Dean asked and Katie smiled.
"Think of an older version a me, who always has her shot gut loaded and ready" Katie said and Dean quirked an eyebrow at her. "Oh yes my grams is very gangster" Katie laughed.
"I think I can handle her" Dean said and Katie just shook her head. "I mean I tamed you didn't I" Katie playfully pushed him back.
"Oh so you tamed me huh?" Katie asked folding her arms.
"Yes, yes I did" Dean said laughing. Katie just shook her head before turning and walking away, but not before feeling a slap to her but. She turned and pointed a finger at him trying to glare, but she was sure there was a smile on her face. Dean smiled back before walking over to the gas pump. Katie walked into the gas station still smiling. She loved having Dean back so much. This time of night no one really in the gas station, except a couple teenagers at the arcade gaming machine and the clerk behind the counter. Katie headed to the coffee machine and grabbed some cups. While the coffee poured all the hairs on the back of Katie's neck stood up.
"Nobody move!" a voice yelled from behind her. Katie turned to see a man wearing a ski mask and hood holding a gun waving it around before turning to the clerk. "I want all the money from the register" Katie just stood there, without her powers there was nothing she could do. She wondered where Dean was and if he was ok. She looked over and saw the teenagers trying to ease their way out and so did the robber who turned his gun to them. "Don't move or so help me"
"Hey" Katie said hands up moving closer in front of the boys. "They're just scared; just don't point the gun at them ok?"
"Don't…Move" the robber said. Katie could see his hand shaking. He was nervous.
"Look you don't seem like you want to do this" Katie said taking a step closer. "Just leave and no police will even be called"
"Stop moving or I will shoot" the robber said and Katie stood in place.
"Ok but let them go, they're just kids" Katie said looking back at the teenagers who were visibly frightened. The robber seemed as if he were considering it when one of the teenagers made a move toward the door. He lifted the gun toward the kid but Katie quickly moved in front of him when suddenly a shot blared through the gas station.
Dean watched as Katie went into the gas station before walking over to the pump. He placed the pump in the tank and stood there waiting for it to finish. He heard a car door open and saw Sam stand up out of the car and stretch a bit.
"Look whose awake" Dean said looking over at Sam.
"Why didn't you wake me?" Sam asked.
"You looked too peaceful" Dean said.
"Where's Katie?" Sam asked.
"She's-" A gunshot blared cutting Dean off. Dean and Sam share a look before both turning to the gas station. And Dean could see her, she was right there holding her stomach and falling to her knees. If he'd looked up earlier he would've seen what was happening but he didn't. He stopped thinking and ran to the gas station. As he got close to the door a man wearing a hood ran out. Sam chased after him but Dean just wanted to get to Katie. Dean ran into the gas station straight to Katie who was now on the ground.
Katie felt a sharp pain in her stomach and she looked down to see a stain of blood growing. She dropped to her knee's then looked up to see the man who'd shot her drop his gun and run out. Katie felt like gravity just really kicked in because it was becoming harder and harder to hold herself up and she just completely collapsed to the ground. She looked at the ceiling and her vision began blurring. She doesn't know when but Dean appears at her side and he's saying something but it's muffled.
"Baby I'm right here, stay with me" Dean says pulling Katie's head to his lap.
"Help is on the way" The clerk called from behind the counter. He then looked up at the teenagers who were just staring down at Katie. "You kids should come call your parents" One of the teenagers went over but the other just stood there.
"She saved my life" He said a tear came from his eye. "She stepped in front of the bullet for me" He looked up at his friend. "Why would she do that man, she doesn't even know me, why would she do that?" The boy's friend comes over and puts and arm around him and brings him over to the phone.
"Princess, stay with me ok?" Dean said looking down at Katie who's eyes seemed like they were getting heavier and heavier.
"Dean" Katie let out. She looked up at him, trying with all of her might to just focus on him. She grabbed his hand. She heard the faint sounds of sirens. "Dean you and Sam have to go"
"What? I'm not going anywhere" Dean says as Sam runs into the gas station.
"He's gone" Sam says before looking down at Katie. "Oh God"
"The police are coming" Katie said. "Something like this they check into everyone and two men who are supposed to be dead will be hard to explain"
"Listen I'm not going anywhere" Dean says bringing his face to Katie.
"And neither am I" Katie says looking up into Dean's eyes. "I promise. Go and I will call you when it's safe"
"No" Dean says holding Katie's hand tightly. He leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips before hover inches from her face. " You call me, as soon as it's safe ok, or I swear I will come find you"
"I will now go, before it's too late" Katie said. Dean kissed Katie once more before reluctantly releasing her hand and standing to his feet.
"Hey you" Dean said pointing to the clerk, and the man came over. "You stay with her until paramedics arrive ok?" The man nodded. Dean looked down at Katie once more before being pulled by Sam out the door. Katie grabbed the clerk's hand and the man looked down at her.
"I need you to do me a favor" Katie said and signaled for the man to come closer so she could whisper it into his ear.
"These hospital beds are getting more and more uncomfortable" Katie thought to herself as she started coming back to consciousness. "But they do good work" Katie thought placing her hand on her stomach which felt great.
"I see you're awake" an unfamiliar voice said. Katie quickly opened her eyes and jumped off the bed. She stood and eyed a man in a lab coat looking up at her.
"Who are you?" Katie asked finally looking around the room. It wasn't a hospital room. It was small and white and the only furnishing was a cot. "Where am I?"
"Katie I am Dr. Davis and you're in Rose Gardens Mental institution" Dr. Davis replied. "Where you've been for the past 3 years. Katie looked down at the man before going over to the door, but it wouldn't budge.
"Let me out of here!" Katie yelled. She looked through the small window on the door and no one even budged at her screaming. Katie turned to Dr. Davie. " My husband-"
"You mean Dean" Dr. Davis stood to his feet. "How many times do we have to go through this Katie, you're not married to a Dean Winchester and you never were"
"What are you-"Katie shook her head and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath before looking up at the man. "This is a trick isn't it, what kind of a demon are you" Katie grabbed the Dr. by the collar and slammed him against the wall.
"Guards!" Davis called looking over Katie's shoulder. Two men in white came and pulled Katie off of Davis. She struggled in their grasp, they were just too strong. " We've been through this Katie. There are no such thing as demons, or ghosts or what was it a rougarou, they're all just made up"
"No!" Katie yelled still trying to break free from the orderlies. Soon a nurse carrying a syringe walked in and Katie eyed the needle. "Don't"
"I'm sorry, but you leave me no other choice" Dr. Davis said taking the needle from the nurse. "Until you can calm yourself, we will continue to give you these sedatives" The Dr. walked toward Katie who was trying to pull away but it was proving difficult.
"No!" Katie yelled as the needle punctured her arm. "Dean! Please!" The sedative began to work immediately and Katie felt as if everything was slowing down. The room began blurring a bit as she felt herself being lowered to the bed.
"I will find a way to help you" Dr. Davis said before he and the others left Katie in her white room alone.
"Dean" Katie whispered as a tear slid down her cheek.
The next day Katie woke up in the same small white room. All hope that this was just some twisted dream went out the window. She sat up on the bed as the door opened.
"Breakfast Carlson" An orderly called. Katie stood up and walked into the hall. She looked at all the other patients. She didn't belong here. She followed all of them to the dining area. She took a seat and looked down at the plate of food in front of her, if that's what you would call it. She stood up to leave.
"Carlson, sit" An orderly said. Katie looked at him, but did as she was told.
"When are you gonna learn" a guy said who was sitting across the table. Katie looked around before looking back at him.
"Excuse me are you talking to me?" Katie asked.
"Yeah who else am I talking to" The guys snapped. "Don't you get it, if you want out of here, you have to give them what they want"
"That's the problem, I don't know who they are and what they want" Katie whispered over to the man.
"They want you to finally get over this fantasy life you've cooked up" the man replied.
"Fantasy. It's not a fantasy. Dean is real and so is Sam, all of it is" Katie said.
"Maybe, but right now the people in power don't believe you, and if you want out of here you're gonna have make them think neither do you" the man said before digging into his breakfast. Katie looked down at her plate before grabbing her plastic fork and digging in her self.
Group therapy. They should've called it "hey crazy people let's talk about our crazy lives." Katie sat there listening to the woman who cat told her she was invincible. Katie rolled her eyes. She had to find a way out of here and back to Dean quick.
"Ms. Carlson, maybe there is something you would like to contribute?" the doctor ask from across the circle of patients.
"No not really" Katie said.
"Why don't you tell us why you're here?" the doctor asked.
"That's gonna be hard because I don't know why I'm here" Katie snapped.
"You're here because you can't distinguish reality from fantasy" the doctor replied. "which almost got you and your sister killed."
"What?" Katie asked. "I would never hurt my sisters either of them"
"Maybe not intentionally but this false reality that you are this witch with these special powers, put both your lives in danger" The doctor said. "You drove your car into your neighbor's house because you were convinced they were demons, and you had your sister Lacey in the passenger seat"
"No" Katie said shaking her head. "This is crazy, I would never put Lacey in any danger"
"Well you did, because of your problem" the doctor stood up. " I think that's enough for today" he turned and walked away down the hall.
Later on in the day Katie stood off to the corner of the room looking around for any way for her to escape. All the windows had bars on them and lots of the doors locked if you didn't have a key. They was only one way Katie saw herself getting out of this place and her plan all depended on her ability to take down those orderlies that stood at the door of the activities room. Katie began walking toward the orderlies when a nurse walked through the doors.
"Katherine, you have a visitor" the nurse said and Katie looked a bit confused. She followed the nurse down a long hallway to a door. The nurse moved out of the way so Katie could enter. Katie looked at the nurse then back at the door. She didn't know who could be visiting her. She reached out and grabbed the doorknob and walked in to see Alex sitting on a couch looking up at her.
"Hey Kat" Alex said standing to his feet. Katie slowly walked in and looked around a bit. She looked over and saw a big wall size mirror then back at Alex.
"Alex what are you doing here?" Katie asked. "What is all this?"
"Uh Dr. Davis thought it might help you if you talked to me" Alex said placing a hand on Katie's shoulder. "You real husband" Katie looked confused before pushing Alex's hand off of her.
"No, you're not my husband, you're engaged to my sister Bridget" Katie turned her back to him. " And I'm married to Dean"
"No sweet heart, don't you remember" Alex sighed. "We got married at your parent's house and you wore your mother's wedding dress and-"
"Stop!" Katie yelled throwing up her hands. "It's lies all lies, this place is a trick look I just want Dean, he will find me, he always does and then everything will be better, everything will be back to normal"
"Look I brought some pictures" Alex said holding up a photo album. He sat down at a table and looked over at Katie. She walked over and took the seat next to him. "Just look" Alex opened the first page and it was a long strip of pictures of Katie and Alex taken from a photo booth. "This is from our first date, remember?" Alex looked up at Katie who just kept looking at the picture. Alex flipped a couple of pages further to a picture of Katie and him at their wedding. "Look that's the day we got married" Katie grabbed the book and really looked at it. It was her in the pictures, but it wasn't, it couldn't be. She married Dean in some shot gun wedding in Vegas. She dropped the book on the table and looked over at Alex.
"This isn't real" Katie said pointing to the book. "When I look at it I don't feel anything. If this was our wedding I should at least feel something, happiness, love, anything but I feel nothing." Katie picked up the book and turned the picture toward him. "This isn't me, didn't marry you, I married Dean" Alex shook his head before standing to his feet and walking over to the mirror.
"I think it's time" Alex said. Katie looked up at him then turned to the mirror.
"Time for what?" Katie asked when suddenly the door opened and an orderly rolled in a television. Katie looked confused, nothing was making any sense. "What's going on?"
"Look at first Dr. Davis thought that doing this might hurt your getting better" Alex said looking over at Katie. "But I think seeing this will finally get through to you."
"Seeing what?" Katie asked. Alex didn't say anything. He walked over and pulled a chair and sat it in front of the television.
"Come over here and sit" Alex said. Katie looked down at the chair as if it were death, before looking back at Alex. "You wanted answers and now you're going to get them" Katie walked over to the chair and looked at the TV as Alex pressed play.
Suddenly the words Previously on Supernatural came across the screen. Katie glanced up at Alex before turning back to the TV. And then Sam and Dean were there, on the TV. Katie's jaw dropped. They were in the warehouse, then the clip changed and they were arguing on the side of the road. She was there, she remembers but on the television she was nowhere in sight. The clip changed again and it showed Sam killing Jack but she wasn't there. Katie blinked a couple of times at the screen.
"What is this?" Katie whispered looking up at Alex who pointed the remote and paused the show so that it stopped on Dean and Sam sitting in the impala.
"This is the truth Kat" Alex said kneeling down beside her. "Sam and Dean are characters of this television show, they're not real"
"No" Katie shook her head. Katie looked back up at the screen. "That doesn't make any sense, I was there, I was there with them"
"No you weren't" Alex said. "Three years ago your grandpa died from a heart attack and you blamed yourself for not being able to save him. You went to a dark place Kat, a place where you created this" Alex pointed to the screen. "You created this life with them, two fictional characters who kill the big bads as you called them"
"NO!" Katie yelled standing to her feet and knocking over the chair. She walked over to the window and Alex stood to his feet. "They are real, my life with them was real, and they're my family!"
"Sweet heart look" Alex said tapping the screen. "This isn't real, they're on a set in Canada somewhere, and you are right here with me, please just think about this" Katie walked over to the television and ran a hand over Dean's face.
"Not Real" Katie thought. The words blared in her mind. It was like someone had pushed the repeat button in Katie's mind. NOT REAL. Gabriel coming to her and asking her to watch over Sam and Dean. NOT REAL. Her powers, hell even being a witch. NOT REAL. Falling in love with Dean and getting married. NOT REAL. Dean. NOT REAL. "No" Katie thought. She turned to Alex.
"I've spent the past couple of years of things crawling into my brain and things talking to me that aren't really there. I may not know where I am right now" a tear fell down Katie's cheek. "And I don't know why this is happening but what I do know is that the love I had with Dean is real and nothing you will show me on this television, or no amount of psychobabble Dr. Davis will issue out will cause me to believe otherwise" Katie walked over to the door and began banging hard. "Hey out there, I'm ready to come out now" An orderly opened up the door and Katie followed the nurse back to the activities room.
"What do we do now?" a nurse asked Dr. Davis on the other side of the two- way mirror watching as Katie leaves.
"We may have to turn to more drastic measures" Dr. Davis said his eyes turning a deep dark black.
"How drastic Dr.?" the nurse said her eyes turning black as well.
"Prepare the healing room" Davis said an evil grin sliding across his face. The nurse looked up at him and smiled.
"Right away Dr." the nurse says before turning and leaving the room.
Dean paced the motel room. He hadn't heard from Katie in three days. Something was wrong, he could feel it. He was on the phone of yet another hospital in the area.
"Yes I- Look she was shot, and….. No I'm not saying you don't know how to do your job….I'm just really worried that…No, no thanks" Dean snapped to phone shut. "Son of a bitch"
"Dean I'm sure-"Sam started.
"But you're not sure about anything Sam" Dean snapped. "Do you know where she is right now?" Sam just nodded a no. "I mean the last time I saw her, she was laying on the ground bleeding. I shouldn't have left, this is all my fault"
"Dean this isn't your fault" Sam stood to his feet and walked over to his brother. "There was no way any of us knew this would happen. Katie told you to leave to protect you, we're going to find her ok?"
"Yeah but where Sammy, I mean I've called like a hundred hospitals and none of them have any record of anyone matching Katie's description being admitted for a gunshot wound, it's like she just disappeared"
"Dean she's somewhere" Sam said.
"Sam is right Dean" they both turned to see Castiel carrying an unconscious Katie.
"What the hell happened to her?" Dean asked walking over and taking Katie from Castiel. He laid her on the bed gently.
"She is being held captive" Castiel replied and both Sam and Dean looked back at him confused.
"What do you mean she's being held captive, she's right here" Dean snapped before turning back to Katie. She was wearing the same clothes he'd seen her wearing in the gas station. The blood stain now brown and dried. Dean lifted her shirt a bit and noticed the gun shot wound was gone. "She was shot"
"Now she is healed" Castiel stated "Physically anyway"
"What does that mean?" Sam asked.
"Like I said before she is being held captive" Castiel repeated. " By demons called mind breakers."
"Mind breakers, never heard of them" Dean said.
"They're demons who infiltrate a person's self-conscious" Castiel looked down at Katie. "That is what is happening to her"
"So you're saying they're demons in her head right now" Dean said.
"More or less" Castiel replied.
"Well how do we get them out of there?" Dean asked. " What do we use the dream root or what?"
"No, she's not asleep, she's buried deep in her mind" Castiel said.
"Then what do we do?" Dean asked.
"There are guards at every corner of her mind trying to prevent that from happening" Castiel said. "The only way you will be able to help her is if she can find a way to let you in"
"So it's all up to her?" Sam asked. "If these demons are strong enough to keep her buried in there, how is she supposed to let us in"
"Not us" Dean said standing to his feet. " Just me, look if anyone is going in there to get her out if will be me." Dean looked down at Katie. "Right now there are a bunch of people in her head that aren't supposed to be there, and I don't think adding more will help anything"
"Yeah Dean, but I don't think you going in there by yourself is safe, I mean there's no telling what's going on in her head right now" Sam replied.
"You want the truth Sam" Dean said. "I don't care if they're one hundred foot dragons walking around in there, she's my wife and when she needs me I'm going to be there."
"Dean is right, only he will be able to release her from her prison" Castiel said before angeling out of there.
"That's still weird" Dean said before looking back at Sam. "Maybe you should go too, I mean I think this will work better if it's just me and Katie"
"Ok, look if you need me just call, I won't be far" Sam said before walking out of their room. Dean turned back to Katie's unconscious body. He walked over and laid on the bed next to her. He grabs her hand and brings his lips to her ears.
"Look I'm right here, I'm right here princess, just let me in" Dean raised his head and looked down at her. Everything was silent for a moment before he felt Katie squeeze his hand and scream at the top of her lungs. Her other hand gripped bed sheets. She was in pain, excruciating pain. She finally stopped screaming but she was breathing heavily. "What the hell are they doing to you?" Dean asked he brought his lips back to Katie's ear. "I'm right here, just let me in"
"Ms. Carlson how are you liking our healing room?" Dr. Davis asked as he stood in front of Katie bound to the electro shock chair. "I know electric shock therapy is a bit primitive, but it did get results" Katie mumbled something that was inaudible because of the mouth guard. He waves a finger In the air and the video played again. Katie him to stop already. He would play continuous clips of supernatural, and pointing out how in each one she was not there, and that she never was. The current clip was of Dean sitting in the Roadhouse talking to Jo, except her never saw Katie walk in and her never ran after her. He was flirting with JO. Katie growled through the mouth guard. "You see Ms. Carlson, don't you see. The character Dean is written to be a ladies man never making any kind of relationships, so the possibility of marriage is absurd. Do you see now?" Dr. Davis removed the mouth guard from her mouth.
"How about a no" Katie let out. "Show me clip after clip of this, it won't really make a difference. I know in my heart what is real" Dr. Davis placed both his hands on Katie's arms and leaned down so he was in her face.
"You sure about that?" Davis asked. "Look around you, if Dean is real shouldn't he be riding in here now to save you from the mean old Dr."
"I wouldn't count him out so soon" Katie replied.
"Don't you know what I'm offering you here Katie" Dr. Davis. "This life you've created is filled with death, and pain. You can finally be healthy, You can finally be normal"
"What's….so…special…about…being…normal?" Katie asked and a grin came across her face. She was hurting and in all sort of pain but she knew pissing him off was worth it.
"Take her away" Dr. Davis said before turning and walking toward the door. "We will continue this later" Dr. Davis walked outside in the hallway. He was met with the nurse from before as the continued walking. "How is the search coming along?"
"Still nothing, wherever it is, it's hidden really well" the nurse replied.
"Well keep looking, I feel this won't be as easy as expected" Dr. Davis said. The nurse nodded before walking off. Dr. Davis continued walking down the hall when he stopped and looked over a wall whose paint seemed to be peeling. He reached out a hand and touched it. "Yes, time is running out"
A nurse walked over and started unclamping the binds on her wrists and ankles. She looked down at them barely keeping her eyes open.
"I'm right here just let me in"
Katie looked around the room. That was Dean. She would recognize that voice from anywhere. But how, that was impossible. One of the nurses helped Katie to her feet, which somehow stopped working after all the shock treatment. Katie let herself be half carried down a hallway. She looked up and maybe it was delirium, but there was door at the end of the hall. There were two armed guards standing keeping watch.
"Do mental institutions really need armed guards" Katie thought. There was a bright light that illuminated through the cracks of the doorframe. For a moment Katie thought they were taking her toward the door, but they ventured down another hallway. They brought her back to her room and laid her on the bed. Katie was left alone to stare up at the ceiling. She tried to think, tried to come up with a plan, but it was hard. Everything was starting to blur and she was not sure what was real and what wasn't. Katie closed her eyes. Maybe this was it, maybe this is how it all ends. Katie closed her eyes.
"C'mon princess, just let me in"
Her eyes snapped open. It was Dean again. But how? With all her strength Katie sat up on the cot. She stood to her feet and made her way to the wall for support. She looked up at the door.
"Why does it feel like that door is so far away?" Katie asked herself. Katie slowly moved across the wall the door and after the last painful step she was there. "Now what?" Katie asked herself. Katie looked out the window and didn't see anyone. She thought this was particularly strange since this was a mental institution that was just booming with the crazy earlier.
"Look I know it's tough, I know but you're strong, you can do this"
"What am I supposed to do?" Katie asked. She closed her eyes and put her hand on the door when it suddenly popped open. Katie looked at the door, in confusion before slowly slipping out of the room. The halls were barren, no one walking the halls spouting nonsense. Katie leaned against the wall slowly down the hall. Suddenly two orderlies appeared in front of Katie. "Where did you guys come from?"
"Back to your room Carlson" One of the orderlies yelled coming behind Katie and forcing her back down the hall.
"Just fight princess"
"Ok" Katie said before throwing her head back hitting the orderly in the face. He lost his grip on her and Katie threw a kick into the stomach of the other orderly knocking him to the floor. The other orderly comes to tackle her but she moves out of the way and he runs into the wall hard before falling to the floor. Katie watched as the two men seemed to blink out of existence. Katie looked up at the hall and began walking again. She turned a corner and there it was the door from before, and it's two armed guards. She stepped back around the edge of the corner so they couldn't see her. "How do I get past them?" Katie looked around the hall and that's when she saw it. It was a long shot, but maybe just maybe it would work. Katie walked over and slid her hand up and pulled the fire alarm. Suddenly the alarm blared through the building and the sprinklers were cut on. The guards looked up in confusion before leaving to check it out. Once they ran past her without noticing her Katie turned the corner and made her way to the door. As she got closer the light behind the door seemed to get brighter.
"Just let me in princess"
Katie reached out and grabbed the doorknob. She slowly turned it but was soon pulled back by some invisible force. The force pins her against the walls and she stares down at her capture.
"No such things as demons huh?" Katie asked looking down at Dr. Davis. He smiled before his eyes went a cold dark black.
"All I wanted was to help" he replied.
"No all you wanted was for me to believe that the life I've been living wasn't real and that I made it up" Katie said. "What I don't get is why?"
"Tell me Katie, If it were true, if your life was just a creation of your own imagination how would you feel?" Katie looked down at the doctor but didn't say anything. "Let me guess, totally devastated, uh empty on the inside, like you wanna die, you see that's what I was aiming for. You have too much stuff in here which was making my search so hard"
"Your search?" Katie asked. "What were you looking for?"
"What do you think I was looking for?" Davis asked. "I was looking for the key. It's locked away somewhere in here and it's hidden really well. I can't say I'm surprised, this whole plan was a long shot, but she just wouldn't take no for an answer"
"She? You mean-" Katie said looking down. "Lilith"
"She really wants the truth. And not knowing is making her antsy" Davis replied. "She doesn't know if the threat is real or just some old wise tale"
"What threat?" Katie asked and Davis chuckled.
"You dear" Davis replied. "You're the number one threat to evil out there and you don't even know it. I mean look what you've done here. I mean I've infiltrated a lot of minds and none of them have ever stuck to their guns like you did, I mean you kept your head, how did you do that?"
"I didn't keep my head, as a matter a fact my head had nothing to do with any of it" Katie said looking up and smiling. "It was my heart. Hello Babe" Davis looked confused and turned around.
"Hey princess" Dean replied standing in front of the now opened door. "So you're one who kidnapped my wife and held her hostage?" Dean walked toward Dr. Davis who back away.
"You should know that you have no power here Winchester" Davis said.
"You're right Davis" Katie said and both men turned toward her. Both were shocked to see her eyes illuminating a bright white light as she pulled herself off the wall. "You see I'm the only one here who really holds all the true power"
"Look around Katherine, I did all this" Dr. Davis said. "You think you can really get rid of me that easily" Katie smiled at him a smile that for some reason made him uneasy.
"Uh Yes" Katie lifted her hand and snapped her finger and Dr. Davis was gone. Suddenly Rose Garden's mental institution transformed into a giant library with cases and cases of books filling the room. Dean looked around as words started forming on the walls. He tried to read them but they were jumbled not really making any sense to him. " It's not supposed to" Katie said as if she could read his mind. He turned to her. "This is what my mind looks like, only I can understand it's insanity"
"What's with all the books?" Dean asked.
"That my dear husband is knowledge, everything I know is written in those pages, some hidden further than others, but it's in there" Katie said smiling. She looked back at Dean who was staring back at her, but the expression on his face was unreadable. "What is it?"
"Your eyes" Dean said. "This light, what is it?"
"You remember that key Davis was talking about?" Katie asked. "Well this light is it. It was never hidden, it's too big to hide. This light is everywhere and nowhere at the same time." Katie walked over to Dean, eyes still illuminated. "You want to know a secret?" Dean nodded a yes. "This light is the key to how I'm going to save the world, well not me so to speak but- it's really complicated to explain, but you must keep this between you and me. You can't tell anyone, not even her"
"Who?" Dean asked.
"Katie, she will figure it out soon enough but now will not be that time" Katie smiled at him.
"Wait, then who are you?" Dean asked and Katie smiled wider.
"Oh there's no fun in knowing, and if you'll excuse me I have a lot to do around here" Katie said before she closed her eyes and opened them , but this time they were normal. "Dean, let's get out of here, my brain is a very scary place" Dean took Katie's hand.
"Tell me about it princess" Dean replied as they walked toward the open door. When they reached it Katie stopped and gave one more glance at the cluttered mess that was her mind, before turning back. "Ready?"
"Definitely" Katie said and they stepped through.
Dean and Katie both sat up off the bed breathing heavily. They looked at each other, then around the room. Katie sighed before lying back down on the bed, and Dean did the same.
"Just so you know, the next time you get shot and are lying bleeding on the floor, I'm not going anywhere" Dean said. Katie smiled and turned her head to look at him.
"Good to know" Katie replied still trying to calm her breaths. "Where is Sam?"
"I sent him away, I just figured him taking a trip in your mind wouldn't be the best" Dean said.
"Right" Katie said.
"Thanks for coming to get me" Katie said before turning and wrapping an arm around Dean's stomach and laying her head on his shoulder. "It was getting scary in there for a minute"
"Hey" Dean lifted her chin so their eyes met. "I'm always going to be there when you need me ok?" Katie nodded and closed her eyes.
"I see you are back" A voice said and both Dean and Katie sat up off the bed. They looked over at Castiel relieved.
"Yeah" Katie said standing off the bed and walking over to angel. "And I hear part of that of that is because of you so, thanks" Katie wasn't sure if she should hug an angel or what so she settled with a friendly pat on the shoulder.
"Any word on how these mind breakers found her in the first place?" Dean asked walking over.
"Well Lilith" Katie said. "Dr. Davis or whoever he was says she's getting nervous not knowing why I am so important."
"They mustn't find out" Castiel replied before glancing at Dean.
"I don't think that will be too hard to stop from happening" Katie sighed. "Because even I am kept out of the loop"
"You will-"
"I know I will find out the truth when I'm supposed to" Katie said.
"So is there any word on Lilith?" Dean asked.
"No, she is hiding well from us" Castiel replied.
"Then we need to work over time to find her" Katie said. "She's probably getting closer and closer to opening these seals and we have to stop her, and that means no more slacking" Katie turned to Dean. "I'm going to need your phone"
"Why, who are you calling?" Dean asked reaching in his pocket and handing it to her.
"Gram, I know I really wanted you to meet her, but there just isn't any time" Katie said dialing. "Maybe later, when Lilith isn't trying to raise Lucifer and start the apocalypse." Katie turned and went and sat at the table to give her Grams the news. Dean walked over closer to Castiel.
"Cas, look when I was in Katie's head, something weird happened" Dean said. He turned to see Katie wasn't paying him any attention before turning back to Cas. "She had the lights again, but when she was talking, it was as if she was someone else"
"That's because she was, but not in the way you think" Cas replied. "That person you saw, wasn't your wife, it was who she is going to be when her destiny calls for her"
"What destiny?" Dean asked. Castiel just glanced over at Katie before looking back at Dean.
"All will be revealed soon enough" Castiel replied before disappearing. Dean turned back to Katie who was still on the phone. Dean knew someone who might have some answers for him, but he hoped he could find her. When Katie got off of the phone she walked over to Dean and handed him his phone.
"How did she take it?" Dean asked.
"Let's just say I'm going to be watching my back even more now" Katie replied. "I'm going to go get cleaned up" Katie said before heading to the bathroom closing the door behind her. Dean waited until he heard the shower running before he dialed Bobby.
"Hey Bobby, its Dean, I need a favor. I need you to find out what you can on an Elizabeth Sullivan" Dean said before glancing up at the bathroom door.
