Two Weeks Earlier
"Hi Katie" the voice on the other end on the phone said.
"Who is this?" Katie asked.
"I think you know who this is" the voice replied.
Katie looked up at Dean, fear in her eyes. Dean looked down at her confused.
"It's you isn't it?" Katie asked.
"The one and only" the voice replied with a cackle. "It would seem that my tactics in capturing you have failed for many years"
"Yeah, You'd think you'd give up" Katie replied.
"Oh that'll never happen" the demon replied. "You see I know the truth, I know everything there is to know about you"
"Oh yeah and what's everything?" Katie asked.
"All those unanswered questions about your destiny that the angels are so hell bent on keeping from you" the demon said. "I know them all"
"What do you want?" Katie asked.
"I want to see you" the demon replied. "Just you, no hubby or brother in law, no angels, no one just you"
Katie looked up at Dean and sighed. She knew whatever this was, was probably some sort of trap, but this offer was just too tempting. That is if he were even telling the truth in the first place.
"When and where?" Katie asked.
"I'll let you know" Katie heard the click of the phone hanging up.
Present
Katie sat in the backseat gripping her cell phone. She hasn't let it go since the phone call with the demon. The demon that's been trying to have her killed since she was born. Dean glances in the rearview mirror at Katie. He's already made it perfectly clear that she is to go where near this demon, but he knows in the end Katie will do what she wants to do. Which is why he doesn't leave her alone too often. He wants to be there in case her phone rings. He wants to be there to stop her from going and getting herself killed. They pulled into the parking lot of a motel and everyone silently gets out. Dean grabs his and Katie's bag as Sam goes and find them a room. Dean and Katie lean on the back of the impala as they wait for Sam.
"You know it's a trap" Dean says breaking the silence. "This bastard has been trying to kill you forever and suddenly he has a change of heart, it just doesn't make sense"
"Dean" Katie sighs. "I'm under no illusion that whoever this demon is, will simply give me this information than let me go, give me a little credit"
"But you still plan on going when he calls" Dean stated.
"I plan on finally facing the demon, who's responsible for Pop's death, and who's been putting my entire family in danger" Katie said. "So yes I plan on going"
"So this is some revenge kick" Dean said shaking his head. "It's dangerous and it's stupid" Dean said moving from the impala when he see's Sam walking over to them.
"Why is it stupid Dean?" Katie replied. "Didn't we just spend the all of last year for your revenge kick, some would say going after Azazel was dangerous and stupid" Dean turned to face her.
"I'm just gonna go inside" Sam said not trying to get in the middle of what was happening between his brother and Katie.
"That was different" Dean snapped. "That bastard killed my mother, and infected my brother with his blood"
"I know Dean, and I understand why you had to do it" Katie replied. "I don't understand why you can't understand why I have to do this" Dean dropped their bags on the ground and stalked over to Katie. He made sure he was close and she looked up at him.
"I will not watch you walk away to go after some demon we know absolutely nothing about" Dean said. "Wait I take that back, we do know one thing he wants you dead, and because of that you are not going and that is final" Dean grabbed her cellphone from her hands and dropped it to the ground and gave it one good stomp with his boot. Dean turned around and walked over and picked up their bags. Katie just looked shocked, as she looked at the pieces of her phone on the ground and then back up at Dean.
"Was that an Order?" Katie asked and Dean tossed the bags on his back and turned to her.
"Call it what you want, princess, but you're not going" Dean replied.
"And you're going to stop me?" Katie asked.
"If I have to" Dean said and with that turned and walked into the room. Katie knelt down to the pieces of her phone.
Bring together the pieces that are broken
With these words that are spoken
What was destroyed be repaired
What was parted be paired.
Katie watched as the pieces of her phone came back together and quickly picked it up. She stood to her feet and walked into their room. She walked in to see Dean already laying on one of the beds and Sam sitting on his. Katie stripped off her jacket and tossed it on top of their table before taking a seat. Dean sat up to see what she was doing before she lifted her feet up on the table and brought her jacket over her and closed her eyes. He looked over at Sam who turned to look at him.
"What did you do?" Sam mouthed and Dean just shook his head and turned to face the other side.
The next morning Dean wakes after hearing the horn of a car. He looked up to see Katie still sleeping, sitting uncomfortably at the table. He sighed before noticing a voice coming from the bathroom. It was Sam.
"Yeah, that's what I'm telling you. No storms, no bad crops, nothing." Dean heard Sam say. Dean sits up a bit more to see if he can hear what Sam is saying. "Yeah, okay. We'll keep looking. You keep looking too, ok?" Sam says. "All right. Talk soon." Sam says before hanging up the phone. Dean quickly lies back down, and pretends to be sleep as Sam comes back into the room. "Hey. Up and at em" Dean fakes waking up as he rubs his eyes. Katie doesn't move still asleep.
"You're up early, what are you doing?" Dean says sitting up off the bed.
"Nothing, I was in the can." Sam replies as Dean stands to his feet.
"Yeah?" Dean asks knowing the truth as he walks over to Katie.
"Yeah." Sam snaps. " You want me to draw you a picture?"
"Nah, I'll pass." Dean replies before reaching and picking Katie up. He looks down at her when she moves a bit but still doesn't wake up. He carries her and lays her on the bed.
"Shouldn't you wake her up?" Sam asks looking over at Dean. Dean continue to stare down at her.
"In a few" Dean replies. "She couldn't have slept well in that chair"
"She seemed to be sleeping fine" Sam said.
"Yeah" Dean replies before bringing the back of his hand to Katie's forehead. She was warmer than usual.
"Found a job. Bedford, Iowa. Guy beat his wife's brains out with a meat tenderizer." Sam says and Dean turns to face him.
"Yikes." Dean replies.
"And get this" Sam says. " Third local in two months to gank his wife. No priors on any of em, all happily married." Dean turns and looks down at Katie before turning back to Sam.
"Ahh. Sounds like Ozzie and Harriet." Dean says.
"More like The Shining." Sam says smirking.
"All right, well I guess we'd better have a look." Dean says.
"You sure?" Sam asks " I mean something's causing guys to go homicidal and kill their wives, you don't think it's cutting it a little close"
"What, you think that I'm going to come at the Mrs. with a meat cleaver?" Dean asks. Sam just shrugs as he grabs his bag. "Well in that situation Sammy, I think I'm the one you should worry about"
Katie's eyes flew open before she sat up on the motel bed. She quickly sat up and looked around to notice that she was alone.
"Dean!" Katie called before jumping off the bed. She ran to the bathroom and opened up the door but there was no one in there. "Sam!" Katie yelled. She went over and opened the motel room door. "What the-"
"I wouldn't finish that sentence" a voice said and Katie turned to see the familiar face.
"Where am I?" Katie asked as she stepped out of the room and into what seemed like a beautiful forest. She heard the sound of water and walked over to a cliff to look down at a cascading waterfall.
"You're in a little piece of paradise" the woman replied. Katie turned to face the woman.
"Urim, what am I doing here?" Katie asked.
"I needed to talk to you" Urim replied.
"I don't feel to good" Katie replied wiping her forehead.
"Don't worry it just takes a little to get use to" Urim replied.
"What?" Katie asked fanning herself with her hand.
"Humans don't usually come here" Urim replied.
"Then why am I!" Katie asked
"Dude chill I told you I needed to talk to you" Urim said walking over to her. "It's kind of important stuff, plus I think you'll be fine. Mortals who have found their way hear usually haven't lasted as long as you have"
"What did you need to talk about?" Katie asked.
"Your little phone call" Urim replied and Katie's eyes went wide. "Oh yes I know"
"Well what about it?" Katie asked.
"He is lying" Urim replied seriously. "But you already knew that"
"Yes" Katie replied. "Your father doesn't seem like the type to let just anyone in on his plans"
"No, he doesn't, for good reason" Urim replied, searching Katie's eyes. "You're still going to go"
"I have to finish it" Katie replied. "He killed my grandfather, he tried kill my family, I have to end him" Urim turned around and walked away.
"Revenge" Urim said taking a seat on a nearby log. "Will this revenge bring back your grandfather?" Katie was silent. "Or will it undue the danger that was put on your family?"
"So what am I supposed to do, just turn the other cheek" Katie snapped throwing up her arms in frustration. " I sorry to break it to you, but I'm not the just walk away kind of person"
"I know who you are" Urim replied. "And I also know what you will be if you go to him" Urim stood to her feet and walked over to Katie. "You will die, he will win, and there will not be any coming back this time"
"So what was the point of it all if you all would just let me die?" Katie asked.
"The point is Katherine, that the person who would seek out revenge, and walks blindly isn't someone we usually give second chances to" Urim said. "This is your warning, since I don't think your husband's was good enough."
"I don't understand" Katie snapped. "He is a demon, and I kill demons for you guys, what seems to be the big deal now"
"The difference is the outcome!" Urim snapped. "You are way too important to go and get yourself killed over some demon"
"He's not just some demon, he-"
"I know what he did" Urim replied. "And I know you have dreams of what he did, but I need you to trust me, I need you to let him go, just let it all go"
"What if I can't just let it go?" Katie asked.
"Then maybe you aren't the person we thought you were" Urim replied.
Katie jumped up feeling someone shaking her. She stared up at Dean who, was looking down at her.
"What… What's going on?" Katie asked trying to calm her breathing.
"You wouldn't wake up" Dean replied. "Are you ok?"
"I don't…" Katie looked down and then over to the door. "I don't know"
"Did something happen?" Dean asked. "When you were asleep"
"Yeah, I think I pissed off an angel" Katie replied looking up at her husband, who just looked confused.
"Never mind" Katie said standing to her feet. "I'm good, I just need to get cleaned up" Katie walked past Dean toward the bathroom.
"Wait a minute" Dean said and Katie turned to look at him. "That's it, that's all you're going to tell me?"
"It's nothing Dean" Katie sighed.
"It is-" Dean was interrupted by the door opening he turned to see Sam.
"Ok we're all checked out you guys ready to go?" Sam asked.
"Go where?" Katie asked.
"I found us a case" Sam replied. "Iowa"
"Oh" Katie said. " Let me just change, and I'll be ready to go" Katie grabbed her bag and went into the bathroom.
"Did I interrupt something?" Sam asked.
"Yeah" Dean said staring at the bathroom door for a while before turning to his brother. He was about to say something when he noticed Katie's phone sitting on the table. Katie's phone that never left her hand since that phone call.
"What is it?" Sam asked.
"I have no idea" Dean replied.
They arrived in Iowa a couple days later. Sam and Dean were inside the police station talking to the latest murdering husband as Katie waited outside. She leaned against the side of the impala staring blankly at the prison. She couldn't stop thinking about her conversation with Urim. The last thing she wanted was for them to lose faith in her. Katie didn't know what her big destiny was, but she knew it was probably going to be the most good she could ever imagine. But she couldn't just let this demon, whoever he was just get away. Katie stood up straight when she saw Sam and Dean walking out of the building toward her.
"So what's the verdict?" Katie asked.
"The stripper made him do it" Dean replied.
"Stripper?" Katie replied. "That's a new one"
"Yeah, her name is Jasmine" Sam added. "But the way he told it, all she did was tell him to kill his wife"
"And he picked up the cleaver" Dean said.
"Yeah, there were some tests done on the husbands" Sam said. "We should go to the hospital to see if they found anything strange"
"Ok" Katie said as they all got into the impala.
At the hospital Dean and Katie waited outside as Sam went to get the info, or went to "geek it up" as Dean liked to call it. They both leaned against the hood of the impala.
"So are you ever going to tell me?" Dean asked.
"Tell you what exactly?" Katie asked.
"About your dream" Dean said and Katie turned to him. "I figured it just had to be a dream. I mean one day you're holding on to that phone for dear life waiting for it you ring and the next, well I haven't seen the phone since. So tell me"
"Fine" Katie said. "But what I tell you stays between you and me ok?" Dean nodded a yes. " I was visited by an angel"
"Who Cas?" Dean asked.
"No, another angel a more socially aware angel" Katie said. "Her name is Urim"
"Is this the first time she's come to you?" Dean asked.
"No, we've talked before" Katie replied. "But this time was different"
"Different how?" Dean asked.
"Well she's usually all smiles and very bubbly, but this time she was serious" Katie said.
"Why?"
"She didn't want me to go" Katie replied. "She said that if I went to see him alone, that I would die" Dean stood off the hood and ran a hand through his hair. "She said she was warning me, because if I died again, I wouldn't be able to come back"
"So you're not going?" Dean asked and Katie sighed.
"Not this time" Katie replied. "But it just sucks so much, to know that I'm this close to getting justice for Pop and to know that I can't do anything about it. How is that fair."
"Look I'm sure this demon, will get his" Dean replied bringing his arms around her.
"I hope you're right" Katie said burying her face against Dean's chest. After a moment they pulled apart. "Thank you"
"For what?" Dean asked.
"For the threat" Katie replied. "Thank you"
"Anytime princess" Dean said before leaning down and bringing his lips to hers.
"We should go see what Sam has found out" Katie said.
"We could or we could just do this" Dean replied before slamming his lips into Katie's. He brought his hands to her back and pulled her closer to him. Katie's hands slid up Dean's chest as their kiss became more passionate. After a moment they pulled away to catch their breaths. Dean leaned in for another kiss but Katie reluctantly moved back.
"Dean, no we're working" Katie smiled and pulled from his arms and turned and walked toward the hospital's entrance. Dean let out a frustrated growl before running to catch up to her. They walked into the hospital just in time to see Sam walking away from a doctor.
"So what's the what?" Dean asked.
"It seems all the guys had high levels of oxytocin in their bloodwork" Sam said.
"Huh" Katie replied.
"Oxy-what?" Dean asked.
"It's like a love hormone" Sam replied. "Makes you feel like you're in love" They all turned and started walking out of the hospital.
"So these strippers make the men think they're in love and tell them to kill their wives" Katie states.
"What was the name of the club?" Sam asked.
"A club Honey Wagon" Dean replies.
"Oh that sounds like a very classy establishment" Katie says.
"So, what? These girls all connected somehow?" Sam asked.
"Well they all described their stripper in the same way, the exact same way. Perfect, and everything that they wanted." Dean said.
"Yeah, at least until dream barbie convinced them to murder their wives." Katie added.
"There's that." Dean replied and Katie noticed something about him.
"You know it's almost like they were under some kinda spell." Sam said.
"Sure seems that way" Dean said and there it was again, Katie noticed.
"Which caused them to become totally psychotic." Sam replied.
"Absolutely." Dean said.
"You seem awfully cherry" Katie stated. "Why is that?"
"I don't know what you're talking about princess" Dean said.
"It's the whole stripper thing isn't it?" Katie asked. "You've finally gotten the case you've been waiting for"
"I plead the fifth" Dean said easing into the driver side of the impala. Katie just shook her head as she and Sam got in as well.
They pulled in front of the Honey Wagon and all got out.
"You sure you want to go in there?" Dean asked Katie as they all walked to the door.
"Shut up Dean" Katie replied as they reached the bouncer. Sam and Dean flashed their badges.
"Sorry, this is a gentlemen's club" the bouncer said. "Only women in here are on stage"
"Guess you have to wait out here princess" Dean says and Katie glares at him.
"Remember Dean, I may be out here, but I have eyes everywhere" Katie says before turning back and walking to the impala. She hops on the side of the trunk and watch as Sam and Dean enter the strip club.
"Oxytocin" Katie says to herself. "Makes men fall in love" A sudden light bulb goes off. "I wonder, nah but it makes sense" Katie says when suddenly her phone rings, She pulls it out of her pocket and just stares down at the caller ID. "Unkown" but she knows who it is. The phone rings again and the temptation to answer is getting stronger and stronger by the minute. Katie's finger opens the phone and her thumb grazes the answer button.
"You are way too important to go and get yourself killed over some demon"
Katie quickly closed the phone and stuck it back in her pocket. She wanted so badly to find this bastard and send him back to hell, but she wouldn't risk her life to do it. She just had to believe that somehow justice would win out in the end. The phone suddenly stopped ringing and Katie suddenly heard the sound of fluttering wings.
"Cas" Katie said knowing who it was before seeing him.
"How did you know it was me?" Castiel asked walking in from behind Katie.
"I don't know" Katie shrugged. "I just did, so what are you doing here?"
"I have information, on Father Richard" Cas replied and Katie's face became serious.
"Ok, what did you find out?" Katie asked.
"It seems Gabriel was the one who had Father Richard call you for help" Cas said. "But he didn't anticipate your refusal"
"So he killed Richie?" Katie asked.
"No, he wanted the Father to try again but he refused" Cas replied. "Father Richard finally realized that Gabriel wasn't following the will of my father"
"So he killed Richie cause he finally wised up and stopped believing him?" Katie asked and Castiel just nodded. "Any word on Gabe's location?"
"No, he is still hiding well" Castiel replied. "Any luck with finding Lilith?"
"No she's also a hide and seek champ" Katie replied. "Thanks Cas"
"Don't thank me" Cas said. "But I should thank you"
"For what?" Katie asked.
"For proving us right" And with that Cas was gone. Katie smiled a bit before seeing Sam and Dean walking out of the club. Katie walked over to Dean and looked him over and even smelled his collar.
"So did I pass your little test?" Dean asked.
"This time" Katie replied. "So what did you find out?"
"I talked to Bobby and he seems to think we're dealing with a Siren" Sam said as they all got into the impala.
"Crazy right" Dean said as they drove out of the parking lot.
"Not really, that's one of the theories I had but I wasn't sure" Katie replied. "I think I remember reading something about them being able to read minds"
"Yeah, they can find out what kind of women the guy is into and take their form" Sam said.
"So more than likely we're just looking for one girl, who changes into all these different girls" Katie states.
"Yeah, Bobby says their pretty solitary" Sam says.
"So how do we kill it?" Dean asked.
"Bobby is working on that, but even if we find her…" Sam said.
"It could be anybody" Katie added.
They went back to their motel room and waited for Bobby to call them back. Sam got word of maybe another murder and went to go make sure. Katie sat in a chair looking over at Dean who was watching TV.
"Why are you staring at me?" Dean asked looking over at Katie.
"It's just-" Katie shook her head. "I was wondering"
"What?" Dean asked.
"If you saw this Siren or whatever, what would she look like?" Katie asked.
"She would look like you" Dean said smiling over at her.
"Bull" Katie replied. "Just tell what does your dream girl look like?"
"You really want to know?" Dean asked and Katie nodded a yes. "Ok follow me" Dean stood up and Katie followed him into the bathroom. Dean brought Katie in front of the mirror and brought his chin to her shoulder and bringing his hands to rest on her stomach. "There she is, my dream girl"
"That's all I'm getting Cassanova?" Katie asked.
"That's all there is" Dean replied.
"Fine, but I still think that maybe you should sit this case out" Said placing her hands on top of Dean's.
"Why?" Dean asked.
"Because there's a siren out there making married me kill their wives" Katie said. "I mean that's kind of close to home"
"You scared I'm going kill you?" Dean asked smiling.
"No I'm scared you're going to try to kill me and I'm going to end up kicking your ass" Katie replied. "And I don't want to emasculate you, I'm really just thinking about you"
"Well thank you, but there is no way in hell I'm sitting out on a hunt, leaving you and Sam to pick up the slack" Dean replied. "Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine"
"Ok, but I'm just saying if you see a woman that looks like me and isn't me, run" Katie replied.
"Yes, ma'am" Dean said before placing a kiss to Katie's cheek and leaving her to the bathroom.
"I'm serious!" Katie yelled before closing the bathroom door. Dean looked back and then looked back at the bathroom door then down at Sam's bed. He noticed Sam's phone and picked it up. He scrolled down the call log to find out who Sam was talking to that morning. Dean dialed the number.
"Hey Sam…Sam?...You there?" Dean is shocked and angry to hear Ruby's voice on the phone. He quickly hangs up when he hears someone at the door.
"Lenny Bristol was definitely another siren vic." Sam said.
Katie stood there looking in the mirror at herself, thinking about what Dean had said. He had to be lying because she was not looking her best lately. She heard the door close and knew Sam was back. She sighed as she turned the faucet on and leaned down to splash some water on her face. She stood up and jumped at the sudden appearance of the person behind her. She turned around but there was no one there, but when she looked in the mirror she could see them as clear as day behind her.
"Uh Urim why are you in the mirror?" Katie asked.
"I came to congratulate you" Urim replied. "You did it"
"Did what?" Katie asked.
"You let such feelings such as revenge go for the greater good" Urim replied. "You don't know how hard that is for some to do."
"Yeah, but the demon still gets away once again" Katie replied. " How is that fair? For him to kill and hurt people and for him to get away with it, for any of them."
"You should know by now that good inevitably wins out in the end" Urim said. "You just have to believe and have faith"
"That's easier said than done" Katie said picking up a towel and drying her face.
"You'll see" Urim replied and when Katie looked up the angel was gone. Katie just through her hands up in frustration.
"Never a straight answer with you guys" Katie said to herself before opening the bathroom door. She saw Sam and Dean standing over Sam's voice before she realized that Bobby was on speaker. She walked out to hear what they were talking about.
"It says you need "a bronze dagger, covered in the blood of a sailor, under the spell of the song"." Bobby said.
"What the hell does that mean?" Dean aksed.
"You got me. We're dealing with 3000 years of the telephone game here." Bobby replied.
"Best guess?"
"Well, the siren's spell ain't got nothing to do with any song." Bobby answered.
"Yeah best guess would be some kind of toxin or venom. Something she gets in the vic's blood." Katie finished.
"And makes them go all Manchurian candidate." Sam added. " What do you think, she infects the men during sex?"
"Maybe." Bobby replied.
"Supernatural STD. " Dean joked and Katie rolled her eyes.
"Well, however it happens, once it's done the siren's gotta watch her back." Bobby says. " She gets a dose of her own medicine."
"It kills her." Katie says.
"Like a snake getting juiced by it's own venom."
"So we just gotta juice one of the OJs in jail." Dean says.
"Not that easy. None of those guys are under the spell anymore. Haven't got a clue where you're going to get the blood you need." Bobby says.
"I think I might have an idea." Sam adds.
"Be careful." Bobby warns. " These things are tricky bitches. Wrap you up in knots before you know what hit ya."
"Alright thanks Bobby" Sam says before hanging up his phone.
"So what's this plan?" Dean asks.
"Cara, I mean Dr. Roberts, she got the blood samples from the husbands" Sam replied.
"Ok let's go" Katie replied.
Katie was once again alone outside the hospital waiting for Sam and Dean to come back with the blood. She was never one for the whole agent impersonation, she usually left that to Sam and Dean. She glanced down at her watch, they seemed to be taking forever with getting the samples. She looked up and saw Dean walking out with someone who wasn't Sam. She had the feeling that things were not going as planned so she decided to hide. She ran over to a nearby bush and watched as Dean and the man walked to the impala. She could see Dean glance around a bit.
"How did you talk the Bureau into letting you drive your own wheels?" Katie heard the man say as he got into the bushes. She quickly took out her cell phone and shot Dean a quick text. Dean walked around to the driver side of the impala when he felt something vibrate in his pocket. He pulled out his phone and opened it to read a text.
"Follow the leader" it read and Dean nodded in understanding before getting into the impala and pulling off.
Katie watched as the car pulled off before stepping from behind the bush. She watched the impala getting further and further away. She looked around to see if the coast was clear before poof she was gone. Literally poof , not with smoke or anything but just gone.
A while later they all ended up at the strip club once again. Katie watched as Dean and the man entered the club. Katie sighed, this is definitely a place she didn't want Dean to go again. And not just because of the half-naked women dancing, though that did make her uneasy but that they still have to find this siren and he was still vulnerable. She had to keep an eye on him. Katie walked up to the door and the bouncer placed a hand out.
"Sorry honey, only women that get in here are on the stage" the bouncer said. Katie growled a little before digging through her bag.
"Aha!" Katie said before pulling out one of the FBI badges Dean had made for her. "Look unless you want to be taken down with the rest of your cronies in there I suggest you let me in" The bouncer just moved to the side and let her in. As soon as Katie stepped in the that's when she felt it. She placed a hand to her forehead, as the world seemed to be moving under her. She stumbled a bit as she continued walking into the club. The blaring music and flashing lights did nothing to help her. She looked around to see if she could spot Dean, but he was nowhere in sight. Suddenly she was leaning against the wall.
Dean was smiling as he took a sip from his beer. Somehow Katie could see him as if he was standing in front of her, but she wasn't. He laughed and said something but she couldn't quite hear what he was saying. Katie slid down the wall and placed both hands to the side of her head and closed her eyes. She'd somehow tapped into someone, seeing through their eyes but who. That's when a sudden feeling of lust came over her. Her eyes flew open when she realized who she'd connected to. Dean was with the siren. She got to her feet and tried her hardest to stable herself. She walked bumping into people but she didn't care, she just wanted to get to the bar, to Dean. She finally got to the bar, but Dean wasn't there. She closed her eyes to try and connect with the sire again, but she was gone, which meant Dean was probably gone as well. Katie turned and ran back out the door.
"Damnit!" Katie yelled as she stared at the spot where the impala was, but now wasn't. Katie closed her eyes and tried focusing on Dean, but she couldn't. If he was under the siren's spell making it impossible for her to locate him. Katie took out her phone and called Sam, but got no answer. "Really, now is not the time to not answer your phone!" Katie yelled closing her phone. She ran her hands through her hair. "What do I do?" Katie took out her phone and dialed the only other person she could think of.
"Hey"
"Bobby, it's me" Katie replied. "Something has happened, I need your help"
"I'm on my way" Bobby replied before hanging up the phone.
Waiting was never one of Katie's strong suits so she used the thin connection of Dean's she could feel to try and search for him. But it wasn't strong enough and it kept leading her no where. She ended up back at their hotel room hoping somehow he would come back there. She sat on the edge of the bed feeling helpless, a feeling she hated. She had way too much power and knowledge to just not be able to do anything. She heard rustling outside the door and stood to her feet. She was shocked to see Dean walk into the room.
"Dean" Katie said. " I thought, God I thought she had got you" Katie smiled and went over and hugged Dean tightly. Her feeling of relief soon ended when a sudden feeling of dread came over her. She open her eyes and saw the man from earlier standing behind Dean, but he wasn't alone there was a woman with him. She was about the release Dean when she felt something pinch her neck. She pulled away and brought her hand to her neck. She looked down to see a syringe in Dean's hands.
"Sorry princess" Dean said. "Well I'm not that sorry." Katie's legs began to feel like jello as she stumbled to the floor. Her eyes began to get heavy as everything just went dark.
Katie doesn't know what's happening as sound seems to sneak into the darkness. It's muffled and she can barely hear what's going on. She thinks she hears someone screaming her name. Suddenly pain finds it's way into the darkness. She pries her eyes open and finally light. Her vision is blurry but it seems as it looks like someone's fighting but she can't make out their faces. She blinks a few times before dropping her head . She looks down and her sight seems to slowly come back and she can make out the witch's circle drawn below her. She hears her name again and looks back down at the commotion. This time she sees Sam and Dean fighting, but Dean has an ax in his hands.
"Dean" Katie says weakly. For some reason it hurts to talk. She clears her throat and tries again. "Dean!" She says a little louder and everything stops. They all turn and look at her. "What the hell is going on?" Katie asked.
"NO!" Katie hears and turns to see the man from before being stabbed by Bobby and suddenly the woman just disappears.
"When did Bobby get here?" Katie asks herself. She hears the sound of something falling and turns her attention back to Dean, who just dropped the axe. She can't explain the way he looks at her.
"Katie" Sam asks softly coming over to her. He kneels in front of her. "Are you alright?" Her eyes search his for a while as if it's hard to concentrate. She closes her eyes tightly and then open them again.
"Sam, untie me" she says in a whisper. Sam quickly unties her and wipes apart of the circle away.
"We should get you to a hospital" Sam says and Katie looks to him and then Dean. She tries to get to her feet but the pain seems unbearable. She looks down at her legs and for the first time notices the blood. Well a lot of blood. She looks down at her hands as they are also covered in blood. She looks up to Dean, who still stairs at her bewildered and she suddenly recognizes the expression. Guilt.
"No hospitals " Katie replies turning back to Sam. "Sam could you help me to the bathroom?" Katie asks and Sam nods before helping Katie stand and move to the bathroom. He sits her down on the toilet seat. "You guys should get rid of that body"
"Are you going to be alright?" Sam asks.
"I'll be fine" Katie replies. "Just go" Sam nods and closes the door behind him. She takes a couple breaths. She needs to see it. She steadies herself and stands to her feet and quickly grabs the sink for support. She takes another deep breath as she looks down in the sink. Slowly she raises her head to see the face that has her husband speechless. She looks at the bruises along the side of her face, along with the blood dripping from her mouth. It was strange to see herself so beat up and not remember how she got this way. She dropped her head and closed her eyes.
"Looks like we've struck the jackpot" the male siren says before grabbing Katie's face to look at him. "C'mon witch, wakey wakey" The female siren came up next to him. Katie barely kept her eyes open as everything seemed so unreal.
"Tell us what you are" The woman said.
"Screw you" Katie let out. The woman smiled and looked over Katie's head.
"Oh boy toy" the woman said. "You want to make me happy right?"
"Oh course" Katie heard from behind her. She recognized the voice. The woman looked back down at Katie.
"Make her black and blue, until she tells us what we want to hear" Katie watched as Dean appeared in front of her. He looked down at her before suddenly bringing his fist back.
Katie's eyes shot open as she looked back up in the mirror. She could see the bruises and cuts slowly healing. She noticed the intense pain she was feeling slowly going away. She looked down at her bloodied clothes and began peeling them off her body. She went over to the shower and stepped inside to let the hot water fall over her.
After Sam and Dean dumped the body of the siren, Dean went to the only place he could to forget what happened. Dean sat the bar, his hand wrapped around another shot glass. He lost count of how many he had. Dean sighed and closed his eyes.
"Tell us what you know!" the woman screamed at Katie. Katie was in a state of delirium unable to make sense of anything around her. So much she just wanted to get out of these ropes and kill these bastards but she couldn't.
"We shouldn't have drugged her" the man said.
"If we didn't drug her, we'd be dead by now" the woman replied looking over her shoulder to him. "She is the key to our survival, we just need her to talk"
"Look at her, she barley conscious!" the man yelled.
"Well then we need to wake her up" the woman replied. "Dean she's not making me happy, make her talk" Dean came back in front of Katie and looked down at her.
"C'mon princess, I usually can't get you to shut up" Dean said. "C'mon tell me a lie, you're good at those" Dean grabbed her face. " Why couldn't you have just been normal, you would've been so perfect" Dean slapped her with the back of his hand before grabbing her face again. "You've brought more trouble than you're worth Princess"
Dean opened his eyes and quickly through the shot back. He shot his finger up to the bartender to give him another.
"You sure, you look like you've had enough" the bartender said.
"Just get me the damn drink" Dean growled and the bartender just shook his head went to get the drink.
Katie put on some clean clothes and was about to head out when she heard talking from the other side. She cracked the door open slightly.
"So I have a question" Sam said. "Why were there only one siren for the other husbands but Dean only got two"
"Well the lore says she becomes what he most desires" Bobby replied. "And it turned out to be a new brother and wife" Sam didn't say anything after that and Katie decided to finally come out of the bathroom. They both looked up when the saw her come out.
"You're looking better" Bobby stated.
"Yeah, I have my weirdness to thank for that" Katie replied walking over to her bag. She dug through it for her other jacket, before finding it and pulling it out.
" Where is he?" She asked slipping on her jacket.
"Where do you think he is?" Bobby asked and Katie just nodded knowingly.
"Everything packed and ready?" Katie asked looking over at Sam.
"Uh yeah, as soon as I get these bags down we'll be ready" Sam replied.
"Ok, I'll go get Dean, and then we can go" Katie said turning and walking to the door.
"Hey Katie" Katie turned toward her brother in law. "You sure ok?"
"I'm good Sam" Katie replied with a smiled before turning and heading out the door. Katie walked until she was standing outside the bar. She hesitated. She didn't know what to say to him to make him feel better, if there was anything to make him feel better. Katie thought about the things he said and did and found herself wondering if she could forgive him.
"Do you love your husband?" Katie jumped a bit and turned to see Urim standing behind her.
"Excuse me?" Katie asked.
"Do. You. Love. Your. Husband?" Urim asked again.
"Of course, why would you ask me something like that?" Katie asked.
"Because what he did was wrong and how it fair for him to get away with it?" Urim replied.
"This is totally different!" Katie snapped.
"To you it is, why?" Urim asked.
"Because he was under the influence and a siren" Katie replied. "He wasn't in control"
"How do you know?" Urim asked.
"Because I know him!" Katie snapped again. "I know his heart, and I know that he would never intentionally hurt me or Sam"
Urim walked over to her and placed her hands on Katie's shoulders and stared her straight in the eye.
"That feeling" Urim said. "That faith you have in Dean, you need to give to the rest of the world"
"I can't do that" Katie replied. "I just can't"
"Why not?" Urim replied.
"Because at every turn the world has found a way to screw me over" Katie replied.
"Why can't you see it!" Urim said. "It's right there right in front of your eyes but you just refuse to look"
"Look at what?" Katie asked.
"In the in this world is all you're going to have" Urim said. "This world, and everything about it, will be threatened and if you don't have faith in it, there's no way you'll win"
"Why me!' Katie yelled. "I never asked for any of this, I never asked for this responsibility!"
"The day you finally see what you have as a gift and not a curse, will be the day everything starts making sense to you" Urim replied. "Until then you'll just have to stay in the dark" Katie was about to speak, but Urim left.
Katie growled and turned back to the bar. She took a deep breath and walked inside. She spotted Dean at the bar and he looked so overwhelm with grief. She watched as he took another shot and signaled for another. She knew what she said before was right. She knew Dean's heart, and what happened tonight was not him. She walked over and before he could bring the glass to his lips she grabbed it and moved it away. He looked up at her for a second before reaching in his pocket to throw some money on the bar. He stood up without saying a word and walked past her out the door. She turned to follow him out.
"You can't runaway from me forever Dean!" Katie yelled and Dean stopped, but not turning to face her. "Look I know it wasn't you in that room, I know"
"No you don't" Dean said. "I hurt-" Dean swallowed the lump in his throat before turning to face her and that's when she saw the tear that fell from his eye. "I hurt you, and I never wanted to do that" Katie took a step toward him, but he moved back. "And I'm never going to do it again" He looked down. "I was a fool to think that we could really do this and there wouldn't be consquences" Dean wiped his eye quickly before looking back up at his wife. "I mean hunters don't do relationships because in the end someone gets hurt this is just proof"
"Dean this isn't proof of anything" Katie said. "This is proof that demons suck major ass"
"This isn't funny" Dean replied. "I could've killed you" Dean ran his hands through his hair. He felt sick at the thought. And then his mind went to his time in hell and how close this was. "I've spent so much time trying to protect you from demons, and I'm the one who tries to kill you"
"Dean I get it ok" Katie replied. "Remember me, darkness that yellow eyes brought out. I stabbed Sam and almost killed you" Katie felt a tear stream down her cheek. "But you knew, you knew it wasn't me, you knew that I would never purposely hurt you, just like I know now that you wouldn't hurt me purposely"
"How do you know?" Dean asked and Katie just stared back at him. That's the second time that question was asked to her.
"Because I have faith in you Dean" Katie replied. "There is not a doubt in my mind that you love me and that you'd never try to hurt me, and no matter what you say, that won't change"
"I can't hurt you again" Dean replied. "I won't be able to live with myself."
"You won't" Katie tried but she knew it wasn't working.
"You don't know that, hell I don't know that" Dean snapped.
"You're right!" Katie yelled. "I don't know what our future holds Dean, but I know as long as we're together we will be alright" The were silent for a moment, just standing in the parking lot of a bar staring at each other.
"When my dad lost my mom it broke something inside of him" Dean said. "I could see it every time I looked at him, he lost the woman he loved and there is nothing that can fix that" Dean walked over to Katie and stood in front of her. "I can't lose you, and I'll always remember how close that almost happened at my own hands"
"What are you saying Dean?" Katie asked.
"I'm saying that I can't just go back like what happened, what I did and said just didn't happen, I need some time" Dean said. "I just would feel better if you were far away from me"
"Dean, no" Katie replied shaking her head before grabbing his jacket. "We stay together always, remember through good times and bad time, remember the vow you made, well this is one of those bad times"
"Look it's just until I can figure some things out" Dean said.
"Dean there is nothing to figure out" Katie snapped. "I love you, you love me so we stay together"
"It's not that simple" Dean replied. "There's just some stuff going on in my head, ever since I came back that I just need to figure out, and after what happened tonight I just want to make sure nothing like that happens again"
"So what now Dean?" Katie asked as more tears fall from her eyes. "We just walk away from each other" Dean couldn't bear to see her hurting like this so he turned and walked away. He stopped when he was a few feet away his back still toward Katie.
"This won't be forever I promise" Dean said before continuing to walk away. Katie stood there watched as the love of her life willingly walked away from her. The tears continued to stream down her face. Katie wiped her eyes and took a deep breath, and before she knew it she was sitting in the passenger seat of Bobby's truck.
"You know I will never get use to that" Bobby said looking over at Katie. "How did it go?" Katie just looked over at him and he could tell from her tear stained cheeks that things didn't go well. "So you coming with me?" Katie nodded a yes before turning forward. "Ok then" Bobby said before starting the engine and pulling off.
