Chapter Four
Sam's POV
I was alone walking through a small cabin out in the woods and something about the cabin and the whole story seemed familiar. Hell, even the story about the two brothers getting killed was familiar too but I couldn't place it. I had my EMF detector out I was only picking up minor fluctuations from the electronics. Dean was on the cellphone I had pressed to my ear. I liked being alone on hunts like this. Gave me time to think. Gave me time to plan to try and save Dean.
"So you picking up anything at the old lady's house?" Dean asked as I moved passed the stobe and headed towards the window the lady said she saw the girl.
The EMF spiked. "Definitely was a Spirit that she saw." I said sticking my head out the window and saw no footprints on the soft ground. "Did you find anything?" I asked leaning back inside the house.
"Nothing. No tragic deaths or suicides matching the girls description." Dean grumbled something I couldn't hear. That's when I smelt the traces of sulfur behind me. I quickly spun around and saw Ruby standing in the doorway. "Gonna head back to the hospital." Dean said he wss mad but I was happy he didn't know who was with me.
"Okay I'll see you in a bit." I hung up the cellphone and Ruby lifted an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"
"Just here to tell you to quit dragging your feet." She snapped her hair twirling as she spun on her heel and left the house. "I thought you'd be planning your move to kill Lilith. But apparently hunting thus case is more important then your brothers safety."
"Why are you wanting me to kill Lilith so bad?" I screamed as I walked to the Impala Dean let me drive. "Yes I want to kill Lilith. But as you can see now's not exactly the right time for it."
"Good." Ruby said with a smile. "I was beginning to think you didn't want your brother alive." I rolled my eyes when she disappeared. I knew I was way over my head with this case but I had no other choice. I had to save my brother.

Dean's POV
I was walking into the hospital when I saw my sister sitting in a chair leaning forward her hands clamped together in I think was a silent prayer. I didn't know she was the religious type. I thought as I quietly walked up to her and sat down. I could hear her opening and whispering something, but before I could hear what she was saying she stopped and lifted her head.
"How long have you been there?" She asked looking up at me with large sad hazel eyes. The same I got from when Sam would look at me.
"Just a few minutes." I said honestly. "What did the Doctor say about your migraines?" I asked.
"Didn't talk about my migraines." She said leaning back in her chair and sighing heavily. "Been trying to figure out, why I've been seeing hallucinations."
"What hallucinations?"
"Well, before we talked to the woman that was attacked earlier, I was at the library. I was looking up any past history about this place trying to find if something like this had happened before. But when I came up empty I smelt, like, Apple Pie or something like that. I turned around thinking it was you because I knew how much you love pie. But when I saw the girl she just stared at me. She didn't wave or say anything. And when I glanced down as you had called me, she was gone."
"That's not hallucinating. That's just our job." I said she shook her head slowly.
"Dean I've been having this problem since I was little. I could see the those Hell-hounds we fought last year don't you remember?" I nodded my head. It was true my sister was seeing thing that Sam and I couldn't. Something was different about her. But I knew she was hiding something. "Now as the year comes to an end. I'm going to see it happening to you. I can picture you being torn apart by the same thing we saved that guy from." She shook her head and stood up quickly. "Sorry to drag you into my attention grabber. I'm just freaking out that's all."
"Hey, if it helps I'm kind of freaking out myself." She looked down at me. "I don't want to go but I also don't want to find a way out of this."
"Why not?" She asked she was getting angry. I looked around expecting to see someone come over to us but we were alone. "Are you too damn proud for killing yourself? Do you really want to be just like dad that you refused to have us try and help you out?"
"No, I don't want you to loose Sam too." I blurted out. I saw the shocked look on her face. "If I try and weasel myself out of this deal, then Sam dies."
"But you brought him back with your soul...how could they..."
"It was part of the agreement. I was wanting ten years but they only gave me the one. And I'm going to take it. As much as I'm freaking out about this I need you to keep a steady head."
"You have to tell Sam why you're not fighting to break out of this. You know how much it sucked when Sam found out about him needing to be saved or killed if he turned dark."
"Trust me I know he's going to be mad. But he will cool off." I stood up and walked up to her. She was trembling as she stood there. She looked just as scared as I felt. "Look I don't want you to try and bring me back for Sam's sake. You have a family and I need you to stay with them. When I go promise me you'll stop hunting for good. Go live your life and not worry about anything. I know it's going to be hard, but you need to escape. You came into this life when you were fourteen. You still have a chance to leave it."
"But Dean-"
"Do it for me please." I watched her bottom lip quiver as it did when she was about to cry. "Promise me Christy. You also got to make Sam promise not to try and bring me back."
She took in a breath and opened her mouth to try and change my mind but she closed her mouth before nodding. "I promise, Dean." She said. She was fighting tears as she hugged me. I let out a small chuckle as it was like my sentence was already up.
"It's going to be okay." I said rubbing her back. "We're Winchesters. We always find a way to succeed."
End of Dean's POV
Christina's POV
I closed my eyes feeling the tears slipping out and falling down my shirt. We're Winchesters. We always find a way to succeed. Dean's words echoed in my mind and I looked up at him again to stare into his eyes. The deep blue aura was slowly changing. You changed your brother's aura. Good, because it needed to happen.
I pushed away and quickly wiped the tears off my cheeks when Sam came in. He looked like he had solved the mystery of the case.
"Fairy Tales." He said when he reached us.
"Come again?" Dean asked and Sam sighed.
"Fairy Tales. That's the connection." He lead us towards an empty room so we can talk privately. "The brothers. Three brother working construction. Gets attacked by a "wolf"?"
"The Three Little Pigs." I said I could feel the cogs in my brain starting to click into place. It was all making sense now.
"But I thought Fairy Tales were supposed to end you know, Happily ever after or something like that." Dean thought out-loud.
"I thought so too." I agreed.
"Not in the Brother's Grimm versions." Sam corrected holding up a finger.
"So we're dealing with a ghost that is mimicking Brother Grimm stories?" I asked and Sam nodded. "Okay then. Let's see we have the Three Little Pigs with the construction workers. And in Brother's Grimm version two of the brothers are killed while the third one escapes."
"Exactly." Sam was beaming as he did when he helped solve a hard case like this one was. "And the Lady and her boyfriend getting lured into the old lady's house where she drugs them and kills the boy."
"Hansel and Gretel." Dean snapped and looked defensive as we looked at him. "What I can read." He said.
"Okay, so we need to find this ghost and hopefully save some people before they fall victim to their Brother Grimm counter part." Sam clapped his hand together and we all left for the hospital's front doors. But as we walked out, I glanced up at Sam. The black aura around him was still there. But it was slowly growing thicker. He's going to be hard for you to help. But I know you can do it. I gave myself a quick nod as I followed my brothers out into the streets.
