A/N: Okay, hey there. here's the last part of "abandon all hope". I hope you enjoy the reading, and please review.

Songs:

- Poison heart- The Ramones

-Wild horses- The Rolling Stones

The city was empty, the sky grey and somber. It was raining softly, and Emma felt a knot in her stomach. Something wasn't right.

-You're getting' any signal?- Danielle asked her. She was driving her Camaro, after so long, she was kinda thrilled.

-Nop, nada- Emma answered. She stuck her hand out, the rain wetting her jacket and tried to see her phone-Doesn't surprise me. Nice and spooky. If I was the devil, I'd be here too-

-You think he is?- Danielle inquired, her eyes watching Emma shrugging

-I do. But I'm worried about his sorcerer, and well of course I don't want his devilish hands on Sam-

-Neither of us does- Danielle murmured. The Impala stopped a few feet away from them and Danielle sped up to meet him. He gestured with his hand for them to move over. The town was empty, and a shiver ran through Emma when they parked next to Dean. Jo, Ellen and Castiel were behind them

-This place looks a little empty to ya?- Emma asked, smiling at Sam softly. It'd been a long ride

-Yeah, we're gonna check out the PD, you guys stay here and see if you find anybody- Dean commanded. Danielle nodded but Emma wanted to go with them

-C'mon, I need you with me- Danielle muttered under her breath. Only she could hear her. And it was true, she needed her there, if there was something weird going on, and it was pretty obvious there was, Emma and Danielle together could figure it out faster.

-Okay, see ya here in twenty?- Danielle inquired

-Yeah, be careful-

-You too, bye- she smiled at him and watched him drive away. She sighed softly, and then parked the Camaro right where the Impala was a minute ago. Jo and Ellen parked behind them and they all met in the street. Emma and Danielle walked a few feet to them, but Castiel was focused, really focused on something.

-Ugh, this ain't good- Emma shuddered and grabbed Danielle's hand to have a better reading of the place. It felt like death in there, like literal death, she never felt something so strong before. Danielle gasped at the sensation. Her entire body was telling her to run like hell, away from there as soon as possible.

-What is it Cass?- She heard Ellen's voice and came back to reality

-This town is not empty- Castiel answered-Reapers- he said and began walking away

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait!- Emma tried to reach out for him but instead touched something else that shocked her. She backed away, watching the invisible thing with wide eyes.

-Wait, reapers? As in more than one?- Ellen asked

-They only gather like this in times of a great catastrophe. Chicago's fire, San Francisco's earthquake, Pompey- he didn't look at them, he only began to walk away again-Excuse me, I need to find out why they're here-

-Wait, Cass- Emma tried to follow but Danielle grabbed her arm tightly, keeping her there

-Let him- She told her

-No, somethin' bad's gonna happen- Emma defended-I need to go with him-

-Stay with me and after we check the place we can do a ritual to channel their power. That way we might have an insight of the future. If Lucifer doesn't stop us first, of course-

-He's not gonna let us use any ritual- Emma said-this place is protected against magic-

-Fuck!- Danielle exclaimed in frustration

-If I'm readin' it alright, then there's an exact spot where we could sue our magic- Emma explained-but I need to find it and I don't have time-

-Okay, let's go check the place, and meet the guys. Then we can call Bobby, see if he can fasten it a bit-

-Alright- Emma agreed unwillingly. They searched the city for what seemed like ages, and nobody was there. Absolutely nobody.

-The station's empty- Dean told them when they met where the cars were parked

-Just is everythin' else- Danielle replied-Have you seen Cass?-

-What? He was with you- Sam said, confused

-No, he went after the reapers- Ellen explained

-Reapers?-Dean asked

-He saw reapers? Where?- Sam inquired. Emma walked closer to him

-Well, kinda everywhere- she told him

-Okay, let's get our guns and look for Cass, he can't be far-

-Fine-

After they got their shotguns and other useful weapons, they searched for Castiel. And found no sign of him.

-Oh, this is great- Dean complained-we've been in town for twenty minutes and we already lost the angel off our sleeve-

Emma was walking close to Sam, something told her to stay that way, she had a very bad feeling about this

-You think, um… You think Lucifer got him?-

-It's a chance- Emma nodded sadly- I don't know what else to think-

They walked a few more feet when they heard an annoying, high voice from behind them

-There you are!- they turned around quickly, shotguns aiming for whatever it was there

-Meg!- Sam recognized him. He pushed Emma behind him, shielding her, and Dean did the same with Danielle

-You shouldn't have come here, boys- Meg said

-Yeah? I can say the same thing to you- Dean snapped, walking closer to her and aiming his shotgun right to her face. Danielle reached out to pull him away. She could sense other evil creatures besides the demon.

-I didn't come here alone, Dean-o- Meg replied. A strong breeze of wind blew past them, and the little pool with water at Meg's feet moved as if someone or something had stumped on it. Danielle gasped in horror

-Hellhounds!- Dean shouted, throwing a look at the others, willing them to run like hell

-Yeah, Dean- The demon replied- your favorite-

-Okay, that's it- Danielle murmured and walked next to him

-Oh, don't be such a protective little witch- Meg mocked her-c'mon, my father wants to see you-

-Yeah? I think we'll pass- Danielle told her

-Your call- Meg shrugged- you can make this easy, or you can make it really, really hard-

Danielle and Dean shared a look, and then Danielle looked at Emma, who nodded softly

-When have you known us make anything easy?- Dean retorted. Meg shook her head half in amusement half in resignation and Dean changed the target of his shotgun. He shot the hellhound by Meg's leg and then it was pandemonium

-Run!- He yelled at them. They all took off running like bat outta hell. Dean and was the furthest one, and a hellhound got him

-Dean!- Danielle screamed. She stopped and shot the hellhound out of Dean

-Dani, stay back!- he shouted back, but of course, she didn't listen. She must have shot like five cartridges but then another hellhound got her

-NO!- Emma screamed in horror and ran to her, but Jo was faster. Danielle screamed in agony when the hellhound tore her torso apart, leaving a nice big wound on her side. They haven't realized Jo was just as wounded.

-Sam, get Jo- Dean commanded and he picked up Danielle, after Emma shot the hellhound away from her and Ellen from her daughter. They ran into a hardware store that was the closest to them and locked the doors, salting them afterwards. Sam left Jo on the floor and Ellen took her where Danielle was laying, panting in pain. Emma was in shock. Jo and Danielle were whimpering in pain, and Ellen and Emma were freaking out

-Boys, I need some help here!- Ellen shouted for them.

-Shh, everythin's okay, you're gonna be just fine, Dani, hang on for me, okay?- Emma was desperate. Danielle had her hand on her side, and when the boys finished salting the doors and windows, they walked over to Danielle and Jo. They had similar wounds, the hellhounds had ripped their flesh apart, and they were both barely hanging there. Danielle moved her hand a bit and Emma gasped in horror. She was losing too much blood, she wasn't gonna be able to make it if they didn't take her to a hospital. And that wasn't an option there

-Sam, get me some patches, I need to stop the bleedin'- Emma commanded. Her voice was strangely cold and focused. He nodded and handed her a few white towels he found near the cash register. Ellen put one on Jo's side, stopping the bleeding and holding her together, as Emma did the same with Danielle

-Is gonna be fine, okay? You're gonna be okay- Ellen was trying to calm Jo down, but it wasn't working very well. Danielle was more controlled, she had experience in getting hurt, though this was lethal and she knew it.

-Bring me water and more towels, maybe some alcohol or salt- Emma ordered. Again, Sam nodded and gave her what she needed. Dean was working on fixing the radio, to try and communicate with Bobby. And it was impossible to him to watch Danielle twisting in agony in front of his eyes, knowing she did that to save him. Sam walked over to him, not knowing what else to do.

-How's she holding up?- Dean asked and looked at him. Sam stared back, his eyes filled with tears. He didn't want to think about Danielle dying, or Jo, but it was inevitable, and he just felt like shit.

-The salt line are holding up- Sam commented

-Yeah, it's safe for now-

-Safe or we're trapped like rats-

-Hey, you heard Meg- Dean told him- her father is here. This is our one shot Sammy, we take it no matter what- he hadn't meant for it to sound like that, and he regretted immediately. He couldn't give Danielle's life to kill the devil, but maybe that wasn't a choice anymore.

-Sam, I need you here- Emma called. Sam saw the desperate glint in her shadowed ocean blue eyes and almost ran to her.

-Bobby, is Dean- Dean said into the radio once he was able to reach Bobby- we've got problems-

-It's okay boy, that's why I'm here- Bobby replied- Is everyone alright?- Dean felt like ice was running through his veins instead of blood. He fought the tears back and answered

-No- he spoke and his voice broke. He took a breath and began again-no, it's um, it's Jo- Bobby nodded to himself, but then heard him continue-and Dani-Dean's was at the edge of breaking down-Bobby, it's pretty bad- Bobby shook his head in pain. He didn't want to think about her goddaughter lying in a dirty floor, dying slowly

-Okay, copy that- he said, putting himself together- and now we figure what we do next-

-Bobby, Dani…- Dean tried to speak but had to stop to take a breath- I don't think…-

-I said "what we do next" Dean-Bobby replied. Dean rubbed his forehead, trying to focus

-Right, okay, right-

-Now, tell me what you've got-

-Em…- Danielle was trying hard to talk, her entire body hurt. It was worse than being tortured by Astaroth. She never thought it could get worse than that

-Shh, Dani, don't talk. Save your energy, okay? I'm gonna get you out of here-

-Em- Danielle said again-I want you to do that ritual and find Lucifer-

-No, Dani, I'm gonna stay here with you-

-You need to do it- Danielle replied-I need you to find Lucifer and kill him. Emma, his sorcerer is here- She said that in a matter of fact tone that left Emma gasping for air. She was right. How could she be so stupid as to not seeing it sooner?

-Doesn't matter- Emma shook her head, fighting the tears that threatened to spill-I'm not goin' anywhere without you-

Danielle saw Dean speaking on the radio, and heard what he was saying to Bobby

-Em, I need you to go tell Bobby what you know- Danielle told her- Sam will stay with me, go-

-No, Dani…-

-Emma, fuckin' go, for fuck's sakes- she snapped- I'm not gonna die in a minute, go!-

-Okay- she got up and stumbled her way over to Dean. She had never seen her cousin in such a bad shape.

-Sam, come here- she gestured for him to move closer and he did. Jo was with Ellen, and with one look at her friend, Danielle knew it was their time. But she didn't care, as long as they kill the devil, it was worth dying.

-Sam, you've gotta take her away from me-

-What are you talking about?- his handsome features were contorted in pain and sorrow

-She's gonna wanna stay with me, don't let her-

-But…-

-She's gonna be okay, she's strong and you need her. Take her away, knock her out, I don't care, but do it-

-Okay-

-Promise me, Sam- her face was still covered in blood, but he could see she was serious

-I promise- She smiled sadly at him and closed her eyes, tired. She just wanted to go to sleep.

-Hey, hey, you stay awake, Danielle, or I'm gonna punch you in the face- That was Emma's voice, and it made her smile

-I'm awake- she murmured. She tried to move, but the towel she had on her side got bloodier

-Em, help me up, would ya?- Danielle asked her cousin. Emma helped her sit on the floor and moved her closer to Jo. With only one look, they knew what they had to do.

-Now we know what the devil's gonna be, we know when, and we have the Colt-Dean was telling Sam. They were standing a few feet away from the girls, Emma was back on Danielle's side

-Yes, we just have to get pass eight or so hellhounds, and get to the farm by midnight-

-Yeah, and that after we get the girls the hell outta town-

-I won't be easy- Sam said, sighing-But let's see what we've got-

-Stop- Danielle said in a tired low voice -guys, stop- Emma looked at her confused, and Danielle turned to Jo

-Please, can we be realistic about this?- Jo asked, That got their attention and they walked over to them. Ellen and Emma's faces were similar masks of horror, guessing what the girls wanted to do, or close enough

-I can't move my legs, I can't move- Jo said- my guts are being held in by an ace bandaged-

-What do you mean?- Emma inquired

-We've gotta get our priorities straight here- Danielle answered, she grabbed her cousin's hand and squeezed weakly

-No, Dani, don't talk like that-

-Em, we're not goin' anywhere like this- she smiled at Jo who nodded in agreement-we can't fight, we can't walk. Hell, we can barely move as it is-

-But we can do something- Jo completed

-Yes, we have propane, wirin', rock salt, iron nails- Dean grimaces, knowing where Danielle was going with that-everythin' we need-

-Everything we need?- Sam repeated, confused

-To build a bomb, Sammy- Danielle answered smiling. Their heads snapped up in unison

-No!- Dean said firmly-Dani, no-

-You've got another plan?- she retorted-you've got any other plan? Those are hellhounds out there Dean, they've got our scents, those fuckers won't ever stop comin' after you-

-We let the dogs in, you guys hit the roof, make a break for the building next door, and we can wait here with our fingers on the button- Jo explained calmly

-It will give you some minutes-Danielle added

-No- Emma shook her head frantically, tears falling down her cheek- I won't let you-

-Em- Danielle stared into her cousin's eyes-they need you. Lucifer's gonna perform a ritual, he probably has his sorcerer, and you're the only one that can take out one of those. You have to go-

-Joanna Beth…- Ellen's voice broke, she was looking at her daughter in pain

-This is why we're here, right?- Jo said-if we can get you a shot on the devil- she looked from her mother to Danielle to finish her sentence

-Dean, we have to take it- Danielle told Dean

-No!- Emma cried

-Not that-Ellen added, she was crying openly now

Mom- Jo called- this might be literally your last chance to treat me like an adult, you might wanna take it- Ellen started sobbing next to Jo, but Emma had regained her control

-You heard 'em- she told the guys-we've got work to do-Danielle smiled at her cousin, but she could see something in Emma's eyes. A glint of determination that scared the hell outta her.

They prepared the bombs, and set them for Jo and Danielle to be able to push the button without moving, since they couldn't. They scattered the bombs all around the store. It was nighttime already, and they had to hurry.

Dean was finishing setting the wire to the detonator while Sam was at Danielle's side. He gripped her hand in his and squeezed tightly

-Remember what I told you- she whispered in his ear. Sam nodded and wiped away a tear from her cheek, caressing her skin softly. Emma was behind him, but couldn't hear what she told him. Sam said goodbye to Jo, but it wasn't nearly as hard as saying goodbye to his best friend.

Dean handed Danielle the detonator and held her hand in his

-Okay, this is it- he said-I see you on the other side. Probably sooner than later- She cupped his face in her hands and smiled

-Make it later, baby- She told him. They stared at each other, and Dean realized, he couldn't say goodbye to her, not now, not ever. Instead, he told her the truth that wanted to get out since she left him seven years ago

-I love you- he said seriously and Danielle's eyes shined with tears. He leaned over and kissed her lips softly

-I love you too- she replied-always have, always will- she kissed him again, and then it was over. He stood up and walked away from her, leaving Emma to take her turn. She sat next to her cousin

-What you're doin'?- Danielle asked while she threw Sam a desperate look

-I'm stayin' with you- Emma told her simply

-No, you're leavin' with them, right now. They need you-

-They can handle themselves, I'm not leavin' you here-

-Yes, you are- Danielle insisted- Emma, please, this is the last thing I'll ask you. Please, leave with them now, and help them kill the damn devil-

-Dani, I don't wanna leave you- her voice sounded childlike, so much like when they were alone in Mississippi, waiting for their mothers to come back

-Emma, go- she said in a firm voice, though it still was low and tired- I want you to go, you're not dyin' here. I won't allow it- She looked at Sam and nodded. He walked to Emma and pulled her up, wrapping his arms around her waist. She still held onto her cousin's hand, griping it tightly

-I love you- Emma whispered, eyes swimming in tears

-Love you more, baby bunny- Danielle grinned softly and then let go of Emma's hand. Sam dragged her far from Danielle, just in case. Jo was staring at her mother seriously.

-Someone's got to let them in- Ellen told her- and like you said, you two aren't moving- she grabbed both girls' hands-You got me, girls, and you were right, this is important. And I'm not letting you go alone-

-Dean…-Sam called

-Get going now, boys- Ellen said-and take that girl with you-

-If something happens to her, I'm comin' down to haunt your asses- Danielle added

-Dani…-

-Go-she spoke softly, nodding with the calm of a person who soon is going to have peace. They guys began to walk away, Sam dragging Emma with him

-And Dean…- Danielle called-kick him in the ass- she smiled at him when he turned-don't miss, baby- Dean nodded, and they left.

Jo and Danielle looked at Ellen. She sighed deeply, and got up to open the doors. The hellhounds' barks and growls could be heard from outside. Jo's eyes went wide with fear, and Danielle squeezed her hand. She looked straight ahead, watching Ellen's every move. She took out the chains form the door, kicked the salt away, and opened the propane key. She then made her way back to the girls, and sat in between them both, hugging them tightly. Jo leaned against her mother's shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

-I'll always love you, lil' one- Ellen murmured to her daughter. But she didn't answer.

-Jo?- Ellen's voice got desperate, then resigned.

-Is she okay?- Danielle muttered, trying to hold onto consciousness

-Shh, yes, it's gonna be okay, sweetie- Ellen replied-it's gonna be okay- she caressed Danielle's hair softly. Danielle closed her eyes, tired and ready to go to sleep. The doors banged open, the hellhounds making their presences known. Dean, Sam and Emma were already on the other building. Ellen kissed her daughter's hair one last time, then Danielle's, and felt her respond

-Thank you Ellen- she whispered. The hellhounds were coming at them faster now

-It's gonna be okay, sweetie- Danielle nodded, and closed her eyes. But she could still feel the hellhounds near her. With one hand on Jo's, Ellen got ready to push the detonator. She felt a hellhound right on Danielle's face, and stared at it madly

-You can go straight to hell, you ugly bitch- she said and pushed the detonator, flames exploding around them.

Sam, Dean and Emma turned around when they heard and felt the explosion behind them. Sam had one arm around Emma, he wasn't gonna let her out of his sight. Emma's eyes widened in horror and she squeezed Sam's arm tightly. Dean was still at the edge of tears, but Emma felt herself breaking along with the building they'd been in. Sam pulled her to the car and they took off to find the devil.

It was a silent, tense, painful drive to William Jasper's farm. But they made it. Emma had been sobbing the whole ride, but when they got there, she wiped her tears away and grabbed her shotgun, ready to take that motherfucker down. She wanted revenge for her cousin, and hell, she was gonna have it.

They started walking towards the center of the field where the farm had been. They saw Lucifer and another man digging a hole in the ground. They were surrounded by people.

-I guess now we know what happened to the town's citizens- Dean murmured. But Emma was focused on two men digging. She tried to sense them, but instead, she caught something else. This was the only place in town that wasn't protected against witchcraft. So, she could use her spells, if only she knew what to do. She then proceeded to try and figure who was Lucifer, and who was the sorcerer. She was sure one of them was, he had to. And when she studied their bodies and movements closer, her heart stopped beating altogether and she gasped in shock and terror.

-Emma, you're ready?- Sam asked her. She stared at him, frozen-What's wrong?-

-He's got his sorcerer- she whispered. If he was who she thought he was, then she had him. She could kill him, and get to Lucifer.

-I'm ready- she said. Sam nodded and looked at Dean

-Here goes nothing- He murmured and they split up. Sam and Emma walked to Lucifer straight ahead.

-Hey!- Sam yelled, catching his attention, and the sorcerer's. They walked pass the people standing there. They turned, but didn't move. Emma felt a shiver ran down her spine when Lucifer's sorcerer turned around and his eyes met hers.

-Emma- he exclaimed, delighted. He was exactly the same as last time she saw him.

-Lex- she replied. She had a knockout spell ready

-I'm sorry for your cousin- he told her- I liked her. She was the only one in your family that didn't try to kill me- he smiled at her and she snapped. She threw Alexander ten feet away, and he hit his head against a tree trunk. Lucifer looked at her

-Well, that was a nice reunion- he commented- but Emmanuelle, you don't need that gun here- he turned to Sam and walked closer to him- you know I'll never hurt you- he smiled kindly- not really- Sam stayed quiet, and so did Emma. She was focused on keeping Alexander down.

-Yeah?- A voice came from next to Lucifer- well, I'll hurt you- Dean said. Lucifer turned to face him-so suck it- he finished and shot a bullet right into the devil's head. Sam, Dean and Emma looked at each other. Was it really over? Sam smiled nervously, and so did Dean. But Emma felt something wrong. She threw another knockout spell to Alexander and moved Sam away, shielding him. In that exact moment, Lucifer took in a deep breath of air and rolled on his back

-Oww!- he complained and a second later, he got up from the ground. He rubbed his forehead in pain and looked at Dean

-Where did you get that?- Lucifer asked and thereupon he threw Dean five feet backwards, making him hit a tree, pretty much like Emma had done with Alexander. Lucifer turned to Sam and Emma, healing himself in the process

-Now- he said- where were we?- he smiled at Sam and Emma felt like her body was about to collapse-don't feel too bad, Sam. There are five things on all creation that that gun can't kill. And, I just happen to be one of them. But if you give me a minute, I'm almost done- he moved to the enormous hole in the ground and seemed to be looking for something

-Oh, yes, I'm gonna need my sorcerer, if you don't mind- he grinned charmingly to Emma and Alexander got up.

-Baby girl, I thought we were pass that stage where you want to kill me- Alexander told her, walking over to Lucifer's side. Sam ran to his brother and Emma stood there, frozen, her brain working at 1000 miles per hour.

What could she do? Would she be able to kill Alexander? No, no way. Lucifer would kill her if she did that. Then what? Let them do the ritual? No, she couldn't. She had promised Danielle to stop the Apocalypse and kill Lucifer. And she was gonna do exactly that.

Emma had never been under so much pressure in her life. All the spells she knew ran though her head right then, and she picked a few, trying to come up with an strategy that could let her live pass this. She had to take care of Alexander. Easier said than done. She couldn't believe it. He was working with the goddamn devil. She knew he was low and evil, but working with the devil was a new low for him. Lucifer's voice penetrated her focused state of mind. He was talking to Sam

-You know…- he began- I don't suppose you'll say "yes" right here and now? No?- he shook his head- and end this tiresome discussion? Is crazy right?-

-That's never gonna happen- Sam yelled at him and Emma jumped in shock. Alexander smirked at her, as she made her way towards Sam

-Oh, I don't know, Sam- Lucifer said, going back to digging- I think it will. I think it'll happen soon, within six months, and I think it will happen, in Detroit-

-You listen to me, you son of a bitch- Sam snapped- I'm gonna kill you myself. I'm gonna rip your heart out!-

-Sam, don't- Emma whispered. She knew Lucifer could take advantage of his anger and pain

-Oh, yes, we have the humanistic witch, now, uh?- Lucifer inquired, sarcastically- if I remember correctly, you were far from a philanthropist. Tell me, what make you change your mind? I could always use a witch by my side-

Emma didn't answer. She just stood there, shaking with rage and anger. But she couldn't afford to lose her temper now.

-And I think I'm gonna need another clairvoyant, since Danielle isn't available anymore- he added and that did it. She casted another knockout spell, but instead of hitting Lucifer, it hit Alexander.

-Dear, I'm protected against your industrial magic. Can't hurt me- he mocked- and please stop throwing my sorcerer to the ground, I need to finish this soon-

Emma looked at Sam for help. The only thing that came to mind was a distraction.

-What have you done to this people?- Sam asked-what did you do to this town?-

-Oh, I was very generous with this town- Lucifer replied-one demon for every able body in aim- he gestured for Alexander to get up-C'mon, Alex, help me up here, would you?- they went back to digging

-And for the rest of them?- Sam inquired, afraid of the answer

-In there- he pointed to the ground further away and Emma felt her stomach curled in a uncomfortable way. Sam's face contorted in horror

-I know, it's awful, but these horsemen are so demanding, so it was women and children first- he stopped digging and turned to look at them-I know what you must think of me, Sam, but I have to do this. I have to. You of all people should understand it-

-What is that suppose to mean?- Sam asked. Emma was focused on Alexander, who had a big book on his hands now, a dark magic book.

-I was a son- Lucifer told Sam- I was a brother, like you. A younger brother. I had an older brother who I loved, idolized in fact. And one day, I went to him, and I begged him to stand with me. And Michael, he turned on me. He called me a freak, and then he beat me down, all because I was different. Because I had a mind of my own- he paused, and then stared at Sam straight into his eyes- tell me something Sam, any of this sounds familiar?- he waited for Sam's answer, but he just held onto Emma tighter, breaking her concentration, and bringing her to him

-Anyway- Lucifer turned- midnight is calling, and I have a ritual to finish. Don't go anywhere- he joked- not that you could of you would- Emma's eyes locked with Alexander's and he smiled evilly at her, his eyes turning a midnight black that matched the scene. Emma, for the first time in her life, was scared. She was scared because she was alone against the most dangerous sorcerer in the world. She needed her cousin, but that wasn't gonna happen. She felt a wave of pain, loss and pure agony passing rocking her, and she stumbled back.

Alexander began chanting in some language she didn't know. Lucifer was in charge of the sacrifices, and watching it performed, was beginning to drive her crazy. She closed her eyes but the power she felt coming off Alexander and Lucifer was something she couldn't ignore. One by one, the demons and people they were in started to fall to the ground, dead.

Dean sat up against the tree, watching the show in shock. Sam stared at Lucifer in horror

-What?- Lucifer asked, offended- they're just demons- Emma watched Alexander back away, and did the same in a reflex. She felt the ground shaking underneath and held onto Sam. In a split second, Alexander looked at her and she heard something in her head. She saw Castiel next to her, and he motioned for them to be quiet. But now her head was throbbing and the same words came running through her mind over and over again. It was Alexander's cold, grave voice, full of pride and confidence

"I will have you back, Emmanuelle, no matter what, you're still mine" and that was the last thing she heard. Blackness took over and she felt herself being lifted from the ground, and then, it was over.

Bobby was staring at the picture he had taken before they left. His eyes stayed in Danielle. She and Emma were the only ones smiling. He couldn't take it anymore. He rolled his chair closer to the fireplace. He could feel the boys' gazes on him, and he didn't care. He took one last look at the picture, mouthed a silent "goodbye" to her goddaughter and tossed the photograph to the fire. He watched it consumed, Danielle's, Jo's and Ellen's faces the last ones to fade.

A/N: Okay, I bet you didn't see that one coming *smirk* If you review, I'll post faster, you know that. And let me know what you think.

Love, Maggie
