A/N: Hello all, here's another chapter for you to dig into. It got pretty long, so I decided to divide it up into two parts. So here is part one.
"Embarrassing story alert" Katie said as they stepped out of the impala. "Jason, was a total comic book geek" Katie looked up at the comic book store. "Use that information to your own discretion"
"Will do" Dean replied as they all walked into the store. Sam and Dean walked up to the clerk wearing their suits, while Katie just walked around the store looking through the comics. The man behind the counter's eyes went to Katie instantly. He was full on ogling. Dean followed the man's eyes and cleared his throat loudly. The man's head turned toward Sam and Dean.
"Uh...can I help you?" he asked.
"Sure hope so." Dean said as he and Sam flashed their badges. " Agents DeYoung and Shaw. Just need to ask you a few questions"
"Notice anything strange in the building, last couple of days?" Sam asked.
While Sam and Dean questioned the clerk Katie walked through the aisles hoping to sense any that would give them a clue as to if anything was going on around her. Katie looked through some of the titles of the comics and just shook her head. She walked over to a bin marked bargains and began looking through the books. One book caught her attention. She picked up the book and suddenly the image of a man asleep at a desk flashed in her mind. She looked down at the book.
"Supernatural by Carver Edlund" it read. She couldn't help remember the title from her stay with the mind-breakers. She flipped through the book and read the first couple of lines.
"… Dean looked over at the woman sitting across from him and his brother, and couldn't explain the unknown feeling that seemed to take over. He pushed the thoughts away and glanced back down at yet another diner menu and tried his best not to think about the witch across from him.
Katie looked up and couldn't believe what she just read. She skimmed through a couple of more pages and they were all detailed accounts of their life.
"I see you're a fan" Katie looked up to see the clerk and Sam and Dean looking at her. He picked out another copy of the book and hands it to Dean. "That's the first one I think" Dean reads the cover and looks over at Sam and then over at Katie.
"Along a lonely California highway, a mysterious woman in white lures men to their deaths." Dean says reading the back cover.
"Give me that" Sam says grabbing the book then looks up to the man. "We're gonna need all the copies of "Supernatural" you've got"
That night each of the Winchester went into full research mode trying to figure out where the hell these books came from. Sam was on his laptop trying to figure any information about the author. Dean sat on the bed reading one of the books, while Katie lay on her stomach totally engulfed in the book she was reading.
"…The moment the doors opened revealing the most beautiful woman, he'd ever laid eyes on, he knew that making her his wife was the going to be the best decision he ever made"
Katie smiled. These books were totally creepy especially with the amount of detail, but she liked getting a little bit of insight into the boys' heads.
"Oh come on that-" Dean said. Katie tore her attention away from the book to look up at him. "That's just sick"
"What's sick?" Katie asked.
"These slash fans" Dean replied shaking his head.
"As you" Katie said pointing to Dean. "And you" she said pointing at Sam. They nodded. "Ew, that's so gross" Katie stood from the bed. "They do know you're brothers right?"
"Well apparently they don't care" Dean said. "We need to find this Carver Edlund guy"
"That might be hard" Sam said looking up at his brother. "No address, no tax records, looks like "Carver Edlund" is a pen name"
"Well someone has to know where he is" Dean said. Katie picked up the book and looked at it's back cover.
"Well I know who we can ask" Katie said showing Dean the name of the publisher on the book.
They arrived at the Publisher's office the next morning. After telling her that they were looking to write an article on the book, she still seemed a bit nervous and skeptical.
"So you published the "Supernatural" books?" Sam asked and the woman smiled.
"Yep. Yeah. Gosh." She answered. " These books... You know, they never really got the attention they deserved. All anybody wants to read anymore is that romance crap. You know - "Doctor Sexy, M.D."?" She scoffs. "Please"
"Right." Sam said. " Well, Ms. James we're hoping that our article can ... shine a light on an under appreciated series"
"Yeah, yeah, because, you know, if we got a little bit of good press then m-maybe we could start publishing again." Ms. James said.
"Oh no, no, no god, no. I mean, why - why would you want to do that?" Dean asked and both Sam and Katie glared at him. "You know, it's, uh, such a complete series, what with Dean going to hell and all."
"My god!" Ms. James said suddenly emotional. "That was one of my favorite ones, because Dean was so... strong... and sad and brave. And Sam... I mean, the best parts are when they'd cry. You know, like in - In "Heart," When Sam had to kill Madison, the first woman since Jessica he really loved. Or when Katie died and you could feel Dean's heartbreaking. I thought that was going to be the end for her, but she came back. And in "Home," when Dean had to call John and ask him for help." She turns away. "Gosh... if only real men were so open and in- in touch with their feelings."
"Real men?" Dean asks.
"I mean, no offense. How often do you cry like that, hmm?" Ms. James asked.
"Well, right now, I'm crying on the inside." Dean replied.
"And I think I threw up a little in my mouth" Katie muttered to herself.
"Is that supposed to be funny?" Ms. James asked looking over at Dean.
"Lady, this whole thing is funny." Dean answered.
"How do I know you two are legit, hmm?" Ms. James asked.
"Oh, trust me. We, uh... we're legit." Dean said.
"We may be the most legit fans you will ever meet" Katie added.
"Well, I don't want any smart-ass article making fun of my boys." The publisher replied.
"Your boys?" Katie asked and Dean grabbed her hand. She just took a deep breath and kept her mouth shut.
"No, no" Sam said shaking his head. "We - We are actually, um... big fans."
"Hmm. You've read the books?" She asked.
"Cover to cover." Dean replied.
"What's the year and model of the car?" Ms. James asked.
"1967 Chevy Impala." Dean answered with a satisfied grin.
"What's May 2nd?" she asked.
"That's my - Uh..." Sam replied. "that's Sam's birthday."
"January 24th is Dean's." Dean added.
"And July 21 is Katie's" Katie added.
"What's April 15th?" the woman asked. Katie looked over at Sam and Dean's confused faces before slapping Dean on the arm.
"That's Katie and Dean's wedding anniversary" Katie replied folding her arms still glaring at her husband.
"Right, right" Dean answered giving Katie a nervous smile. "I remember"
"Dean's favorite song?" She asked. And Dean turned to Katie, to see if she knew the answer. Katie rolled her eyes and turned to the publisher.
"It's a tie" Katie answered. "He likes Zeplin's "Ramble on" but he also really likes "Traveling Riverside Blues" She turned to Dean with a satisfied smile.
"That's right" Dean said looking over at Katie before turning back to Ms. James.
"Okay. Okay. What do you want to know?" Ms. James asked.
"What's Carver Edlund's real name?" Sam asked
"Oh, no. No." the woman said shaking her head. " I'm sorry, I can't."
"We just want to talk to him." Sam said giving his best puppy dog eyes. " You know, get the "supernatural" story in his own words."
"He's very private." She answered. " It's like Salinger."
"Please. Like I said - we are, um..." Sam says as he begins unbuttoning his shirt and revealing his demon protection tattoo. "…big… big fans" Sam turns to Dean and Katie to show their tattoos as well. Dean rolls his eyes and pulls his shirt to show his tattoo as well. Ms. James turned to Katie, who just loudly sighed before turning around and lifting her hair to reveal the tattoo on the back of her neck.
"Awesome. You know what?" she says before turning and hiking up her skirt. Katie looked over at Dean, who's eyes never moved from the woman who was revealing the tattoo on her thigh. She slapped him on the arm and he dropped his head. "I got one too"
"Yeah" Dean said still looking away until the woman finally dropped her skirt. "You are a fan"
"Okay." Ms. James says before scribbling something on a pad of paper and handing it to Sam. "His name is Chuck Shirley. And he's a genius, so don't piss him off"
They pulled up in front of Chuck's house and the moment Katie got out of the car, she felt strange. Not a bad strange, but just strange. If she didn't know any better she think she was being drawn to this guy.
They walked up the stairs and suddenly a voice rang inside Katie's head.
"Sam and Dean approached the run-Down..." she heard the voice sigh before continuing. "...Approached the ramshackle house with trepidation."
Katie followed behind the brothers as the narration in her head continued.
"Did they really want to learn the secrets that lay beyond that door?" the voice said. "Sam and Dean traded soulful looks."
This was all a bit bizarre as the voice said exactly the things that was happening. Katie watched as Dean lifted his finger to the doorbell.
"Then, with determination, Dean pushed the doorbell with forceful... determination."
Suddenly the voice stops talking and the door opens to reveal a man. Katie instantly recognized him as the man from her vision.
"You Chuck Shirley?" Dean asks.
"The Chuck Shirley who wrote the "Supernatural" books?" Sam asks and Chuck glances between the two and then Katie.
"Maybe." He replies. " Why?"
"I'm Dean." Dean says pointing to himself "That is Sam" And then he turns to Katie. "And this is Katie. The ones you've been writing about"
"Look, uh... I appreciate your enthusiasm. Really, I do." Chuck said nervously. " It's, uh, it's always nice to hear from the fans. But, uh, for your own good, I strongly suggest you get a life." He tries to shut the door but Dean puts a hand out and stops him.
"See, here's the thing." Dean says " We have a life. You've been using it to write your books." Dean shoves the door open and enters forcing chuck back into the house. Sam and Katie follow him in and close the door behind them.
"Now, wait a minute." Chuck says. "Now, this isn't funny"
"Damn straight, it's not funny." Dean says.
"Dean" Katie says before turning to Chuck. She walks over to the man and looks him over. "How are you doing it?"
"I'm not doing anything." Chuck replied.
"Are you a hunter?" Dean asks.
"What?" Chuck replies shaking his head. "I'm a writer"
"Yeah, but you're more than that" Katie said still searching the man's eyes for some sort of clue.
"Then how do you know so much about demons?" Dean asks. "And Tulpas, and changelings?"
"Is this some kind of "Misery" thing?" Chuck asked moving away from the three strangers in his house. "Ah, it is, isn't it? It's a "Misery" thing!"
"No, it's not a "Misery" thing." Dean says "Believe me, we are not fans!"
"Well, then, what do you want?" Chuck asks angrily. He looks between the three.
"I'm Sam." Sam says. "And that's Katie and Dean"
"Sam, Dean and Katie are fictional characters." Chuck stated. " I made them up! They're not real!"
"Fine we'll prove it" Dean said. "Come with us"
"I'm not going anywhere with you people" Chuck replied.
"Yeah, that was not a request" Dean said grabbing the man's arm and pushing him toward the door.
"I'll wait for you guys here" Katie said leaning against the wall and the three of them went home. When they were gone Katie looked around a bit to see if there were any clues as to who this guy was. She looked up and saw the desk from her vision and saw his computer. She read the last couple of lines and recognized the words, from the voice she was hearing earlier. "Who the hell is this guy?" Katie asked herself. She looked down at the computer and slowly placed her hand on the keyboard.
Suddenly the image of Chuck sitting at this desk typing, but he doesn't seemed to be focused on what he writing. Katie noticed that it was like he wasn't even in control of what he was typing. Katie lifted her hand from the computer just as Chuck stalked back into the house followed by Sam and Dean. Dean glanced over at Katie, who quickly joined them in the kitchen. They watch as the man grabs a glass and a bottle of whiskey and pours the drink. He downs the drink and looks up to see the three Winchesters staring at him.
"Oh!" He says. " Oh, you're still there."
"Yup" Dean replied.
"You're not a hallucination." Chuck asks.
"Not that we're aware of" Katie says and his eyes go to her.
"So you are a witch?" Chuck asked. Katie looked between the man and Dean before nodding.
"Yes, I am" Katie replied before lifting her hand and making the whiskey bottle slide across the counter. Chuck watched in amazement before turning back to Katie.
"Well, there's only one explanation." Chuck states sitting the glass down. " Obviously I'm a god."
"You're not a god." Sam replies.
"How else do you explain it?" Chuck asks. " I write things and then they come to life. Yeah, no, I'm definitely a god. A cruel, cruel, capricious god. The things I put you through - The physical beatings alone."
"Yeah, we're still in one piece." Dean says.
"I killed your father. I burned your mother alive." Chuck says guilt written over his face before turning to Sam. "And then you had to go through the whole horrific deal again with Jessica." He then turned to Katie. "I'm so sorry about your grandfather"
"Chuck stop" Katie said.
"All for what?" Chuck sat. "All for the sake of literary symmetry. I toyed with your lives, your emotions, for...Entertainment."
"Chuck!" Katie yells a bit louder then she intended. She cleared her throat. "You didn't create us"
"Did you really have to live through the bugs?" Chuck asked looking over at Dean and Dean nodded a yes. Chuck ran his hand through his hair and turned to Katie. "And the ghost ship"
"Yeah" Katie said folding her arms over her chest.
"I am so sorry." Chuck responded. Katie rolled her eyes. " I mean, horror is one thing, but to be forced to live bad writing... if I would have known it was real, I would have done another pass."
"Chuck, you're not a god!" Dean snapped causing the man to jump a bit.
"We think you're probably just psychic." Sam said.
"No." Chuck said shaking his head. " If I were psychic, you think I'd be writing? Writing is hard."
"It seems that somehow, you're just... focused on our lives." Sam said.
"That's not it" Katie said walking over to Chuck. "You're, I don't know…give me your hand" Everyone in the room looked at her confused.
"What?" Chuck asked. "Why, what are you going to do to me?"
"I'm not going to do anything to you" Katie said. "I just want to see something. I won't hurt you, I promise" Chuck locked eyes with Katie before lifting his hand. Katie smiled and grabbed it and suddenly their hands illuminated a growing white light.
"What the-" Chuck said looking down at his hand and then up at Katie whose eyes were closed. Katie's eyes shot open and she released Chuck's hand. "What was that?"
"I have no idea" Katie replied before a big smile came to her face. "But I do know that you are very special, and important"
"Uh, thank you" Chuck replied.
"You're welcome" Katie replied. She looked over at Dean who, still was confused by what just happened.
"Did you see something?" Sam asked.
"Yeah" Katie said. "A lot actually"
"Of what?" Dean asked.
"Everything he sees" Katie replied. "Of us. It was really weird, it was like watching a movie"
"Holy crap" Chuck says realizing something.
"What?" Sam asks looking over at the man. Chuck walks back into his living room, and over to his desk and picks up some pieces of paper. "The, uh, latest book? It's, uh, it's kind of weird."
""Weird" how?" Sam asks.
It's very Vonnegut." Chuck replies.
"Slaughterhouse-Five" Vonnegut or "Cat's Cradle" Vonnegut?" Dean asked and both Katie and Sam turn to him surprised at what he just said.
"What?" Sam asks.
"What?" Dean asks defensively.
"Where did that come from?" Katie asked.
"It's, uh, "Kilgore Trout" Vonnegut." Chuck says and they all turn to him. "I wrote myself into it. I wrote myself, at my house..."
"You mind if we look over those?" Katie asked and Chuck handed her the papers.
"Uh, sure it's your life" Chuck replied.
Later that night, the three of them were in the laundromat still trying to figure out the mystery that was Chuck. Katie was placing her clothes in the washing machine next to Sam while Dean sat on a table and read from Chuck's manuscript.
"I'm sitting in a laundromat, reading about myself sitting in a laundromat reading about myself -–" My head hurts." Dean says and Katie smiles. She walks over and grabs the manuscript turns around. Dean wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer, resting his chin on her shoulder, looking down at the script.
"There's got to be something this guy's not telling us." Sam says tossing his clothes in the machine.
"Sam tossed his gigantic darks into the machine. "He was starting to have doubts about Chuck, about whether he was telling the whole truth." Katie read before looking up at Sam with a smile.
"Stop it." Sam says glaring over at her.
"'Stop it,' Sam said." Guess what you do next." Dean asks. Sam turns away scowling and Dean looks back down at the paper and reads. "Sam turned his back on Dean, and Katie his face brooding and pensive." I mean, I don't know how he's doing it, but this guy is doing it. I can't see your face, but those are definitely your "brooding and pensive" shoulders." Dean says smiling and Sam glares at him. Dean looks back down at the manuscript. "You just thought I was a dick."
"The guy's good." Sam says impressed before turning back to put the rest of his clothes in the washing machine.
"Dean, looks over Katie's shoulder and soon gets distracted by the view down her t-shirt" Katie reads before looking over her shoulder at Dean.
"Wow, this guy is good" Dean says and Katie rolls up the manuscript, turns and hits him with it on the head.
"He sure is perve" Katie replied laughing sitting the papers on the table next to Dean. "I kind of feel sorry for the guy, having to write all those impure thoughts that go through that head of yours"
"Me too princess" Dean says before bringing his lips to hers. "Me too" Katie grabbed the lapels of Dean's jacket and deepened the kiss.
"Dude, get a room" Sam says and Katie pulls away from the kiss and smiles up at her husband.
"I should grab the rest of my clothes from the car" Katie said backing away from Dean. "I'll be right back" Katie walked outside the Laundromat into the quite night air. She spotted the impala across the street and looked to see if any cars were coming before crossing. She grabbed her bag from the backseat, and closed the door behind her before walking back to the street.
As soon as her foot left the side walk Katie was no longer outside. She was in a motel room. She sees Sam standing in front of a blonde woman. There's something familiar about the woman and Katie walks over to her. "Lilith" Katie says. Lilith walks over to the bed and pats it gently. She watches as Sam comes toward her as if entranced. Katie turns to see the demons eyes go a bright white as she lures Sam to the bed.
Katie heard the loud sound of a horn and suddenly she was back, but she hadn't realized she'd been standing in the middle of the street until headlights were speeding toward her. Her eyes went wide, before she felt someone grab her and push her out of the way. Katie landed on the sidewalk on her back hard, and something heavy fell on top of her. She looked up to see Dean staring down at her.
"What the hell just happen princess?" Dean asked. "Why didn't you move?"
"I-" Katie let out, still trying to figure out what happened.
"Hey are you crazy lady!' a voice said and they looked up to see the man driving the car had got out and was now walking toward them. Dean stood to his feet and help Katie stand up as well. Katie wrapped her arm around Dean and he brought his arm around her as she buried her face in his side.
"Hey, guy she's sorry" Dean said. "Just leave" the man grumbled something before getting back into his car and driving away. Dean held Katie tighter against him and looked across the street at Sam, who was standing among a small crowd that had formed. "What happened, princess?" Dean whispered in Katie's ear.
"I think Chuck got through the wall" Katie replied. By the time they arrived back at their room, Katie was dead asleep, much to the guys chagrin. Dean got out of the driver's side and opened the back door and grabbed his sleeping wife from the backseat. Sam closed the doors and went to open their room door. Once inside Dean laid Katie on their bed and took off her shoes before bringing a blanket over her.
"So did she tell you what happened?" Sam asked.
"All she said was that she thinks Chuck got through the wall" Dean replied looking over at his brother. "Whatever the hell that means"
"Whatever it means, it nearly got her killed" Sam said.
"Yeah" Dean said glancing over at his wife. If he hadn't went outside to check on her, she would've dead right now. He sighed before looking over at his brother. "We need to talk to Chuck"
"Ok, first thing tomorrow" Sam said with a nod before turning and going into the bathroom. Dean walked over to Katie and moved a couple of strands of hair from her face before placing a kiss on her forehead. He looked down at her once more, unsure if her seeing this Chuck guy again was such a good idea.
The next morning Dean, Sam and Katie pulled up in front of Chuck's house. Katie immediately got out of the car, followed by Sam and Dean.
"Hold on there, princess" Dean said grabbing Katie's hand, and she turned to face him. "I'm still not so sure you should be around this guy after what happened last night.
"Dean, I'm not even sure he did it on purpose" Katie replied. "But for this guy to do something, that even Zachariah, couldn't do is kind of interesting"
"You see interesting, and I see dangerous" Dean replied. "You're not going to tell me what you saw" Katie glanced over at Sam before turning back to Dean.
"I just want to make sure what I saw, was real" Katie said before turning and walking up Chuck's porch stairs. Sam and Dean shared a look before following behind her. Katie reached forward to press the doorbell but before she could Chuck was opening the door.
"Good, you're here" he said. "Come in" Chuck moved aside as Katie, Dean and Sam walked into the living room. He came in and started pacing.
"Something on your mind there Chuck?" Dean asked.
"It was real wasn't it?" Katie asked and Chuck stopped and looked at her.
"You did see it." Chuck said. "I thought that part was actually in my head, but you saw it too"
"Saw what exactly?" Sam asked. Chuck just turn and picked up some papers from his desk. "So… you wrote another chapter?"
"This was all so much easier before you were real." Chuck commented.
"I know" Katie said shaking her head. "So is it really going to happen?"
"It's what I saw" Chuck said. "Hell, it's what you saw too, how did that happen by the way?"
"Beats me" Katie said.
"Will someone please tell me, what it is you two saw?" Dean asked interrupting them.
"You're really not gonna like it babe" Katie said looking over at Dean.
"I didn't like hell." Dean comments and Katie turned back to Chuck.
"It's Lilith." Chuck says before turning to Sam. "She's coming for Sam."
"Coming to kill him?" Dean asks.
"When?" Sam asks.
"Tonight." Chuck replies.
"Wait" Katie says. "Look I didn't see anyone die, all I saw was Sam and Lilith together"
"So what, she's just gonna show up?" Dean asks. "Here?"
"Uh... let's see, uh," Chuck says holding up the manuscript and reading from it.
"Lilith patted the bed seductively. Unable to deny his desire, Sam succumbed, and they sank into the throes of fiery demonic passion."
"You're kidding me, right?" Sam says laughing and Dean and Katie glare at him.
"You think this is funny?" Dean asks.
"You don't?" Sam asks looking over at his brother. " I mean, come on. "Fiery demonic passion"?"
"It's just a first draft." Chuck comments.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait." Dean says shaking his head. Something still didn't add up. " Lilith is a little girl."
"No, uh, this time she's a - "Comely dental hygienist from Bloomington, Indiana." Chuck reads.
"Great." Dean says throwing his hand up. " Perfect. So what happens after the... "Fiery demonic" whatever?"
"I don't know, it hasn't come to me yet." Chuck says and they turn to Katie.
"I only saw what he saw" Katie replied. "I don't know either"
"Guys, look, there's nothing to worry about." Sam says. "Lilith and me? In bed?" He knew there was no way that would ever happen.
"How does this whole psychic thing of yours work?" Dean asks to Chuck, while glaring at Sam.
"You mean my process?" Chuck asks and Dean rolls his eyes.
"Yes, your "process."
"Well, it usually starts with a headache." Chuck states. " A really bad headache. Aspirin is useless, so... I drink. Until I fall asleep. The first time it happened, I thought it was just a crazy dream."
"The first time?" Katie asks.
"It flowed." Chuck says. "It just, it kept flowing. Still does. I-I can't stop it, really." Katie stared at him for a long moment. She couldn't figure him out.
"You can't seriously believe –" Sam says .
"Humor me." Dean says before walking over to Chuck who holds up the manuscript for him . "Look why don't we, we just…" Dean takes the manuscript. "Take a look at these and see what's what" He looks at Chuck and just knows the guy isn't the least bit surprised by this. "You-"
"-Knew you we gonna ask for that?" Chuck says and nods. "Yeah" Dean and Sam head for the door but Dean turns to see that Katie hasn't moved. She's still staring at Chuck.
"You coming princess?" Dean asks and Katie looks over to him.
"No" Katie replied. "I need to stay here"
"Why?" Dean asks walking over to her. He grabs her arm and pulls her away. "What's going on?"
"Dean, I can't leave" Katie whispers. "Not, until I figure out what Chuck is, and how he was able to get into my head"
"How do you plan on doing that?" Dean asked.
"I don't know" Katie says. "I was going to play it by ear, I'll be fine." Katie grabbed Dean's hand. "This guy is harmless. Plus you need to get Sam as far away from Lilith as possible."
"Fine, but when I call you better answer or these books are really going to end" Dean said.
"Aw, don't worry my big scary husband" Katie leaned forward and placed a light peck on his cheek. "I'll be fine"
"Uh-huh" Dean says before turning back to Chuck. "And you, no funny business" Chuck looks between Katie and Dean.
"Right, no funny business" Chuck says. Dean looks back at Katie once more before him and Dean leave. "So, why did you stay behind?"
"I'm going to figure out what you are Chucky" Katie says taking off her jacket and tossing it on the couch. She looks up at Chuck who seems to be backing away.
"How do you plan on doing that?" he asks.
"I'm just going to take a little trip inside of your head" Katie says taking a few steps toward the frightened man.
"That sounds painful" Chuck says. "Is it painful?"
"It can be" Katie replies. "If done by someone who doesn't know what they're doing" Katie looked over at the man and smiled. "And you and me both know, that isn't me, trust me"
"That' s kind of hard since I just me you yesterday" Chuck replied as his back finally reached the wall. "Crap"
"That's not true" Katie replied. "You've known me for quite a long time, these books are proof" Katie walked over and stood in front of him. "Look, anyone who knows me know that when I say that I'm going to do something, that I do it, and right now I'm saying that I'm not going to let anything hurt you" Katie placed her hand on his shoulder. "This will only work if you trust me" Chuck looked at her, and couldn't explain why but he did. He trusted her.
"You know I'm still trying to figure out why you're so important" Chucks said and Katie gave him a lopsided smile.
"That makes two of us" Katie replied. "So what do you say?" Chuck took a deep breath.
"Ok, what do I have to do?" he asked and Katie turned and walked into the kitchen. She came back out dragging a chair behind her. She placed the chair in the middle of the room.
"Sit" Katie said. Chuck looked at the chair as if it were booby-trapped or something. He took another deep breath before slowly making his way to the chair. "Anytime now"
"I'm coming, this is just way too bizarre" Chuck said. "I mean I've been writing about you, and the cool things you can do with your powers and now-"
"Now you get a front row seat" Katie said as the man took a seat in the chair. Katie walked and stood behind him.
"What exactly are you going to be looking for in there?" Chuck asked.
"Clues" Katie said. "Anything about who or what you are, or any info that might be in there about Lilith" Katie places her hands on Chucks hands, but he suddenly jumps from the chair.
"I can't do this" Chuck says. "I'm sorry, I just can't"
"Why not?" Katie asks. "I told you, you wouldn't be hurt"
"That's not it" Chuck says. "It seems too easy"
"Too easy, what are you talking about" Katie asks.
"Everything, you've wanted to know" Chuck says. "It's never been easy has it, you've had to figure it out, to help you to get closer to your destiny"
"What are you trying to say?" Katie asked.
"What if this is one of those times?" Chuck asks. "What if you're not supposed to be given the answers, maybe you're supposed to figure this out on your own"
"But this!" Katie says. "Going inside your head is me figuring this out"
"No, it's just I don't know" Chuck says. "We can't do this, you have to find another way" Katie closed her eyes and sighed as she ran her hand over her face. Was he right? She looked over at the man.
"I don't know-" Katie stopped when she realized something. "Wait, I think I got it"
"You do?" Chuck asked. "That, was fast so what are you going to do?"
"I'm not going to look in your head" Katie replied. "I'm going to look in mine"
A/N: Well there you go. So what do you think? What will Katie find locked away in her mind? It will all be answered in the ALREADY WRITTEN next chapter, that you will be able to read as soon as I get at least 5 reviews... Evil I know, but hey it gets results.
