Chapter Three

The next morning Sam is walking into the room with coffee and he throws a bag on Dean's stomach. Dean jerks awake.

Sam: Good morning.

Dean: Dude, you know you are like the only morning person I know.

Sam: I'm sorry that I wasn't out at the bar last night having a good time…all night.

Dean: (sitting up) No instead you were in here having a good time making it with demon girl.

Sam sits at the table and opens his laptop.

Sam: Yeah, well nothing happened.

Dean: Right…you dog.

Sam just looked at him.

Dean: Are you serious? We walked in and you were all over the chick.

Sam: It was a bad idea.

Dean: Because…

Sam: Dude she's a demon, the daughter of Satan to be exact.

Dean: So, she's a little bit of a bad girl. There is nothing wrong with that.

Sam: And you?

Dean: What about me?

Sam: You and Alexis.

Dean: Just having some fun.

Sam: She is not a girl you just 'have fun' with Dean. She's a friggin' saint.

Dean: Well, not last night.

Sam: You didn't.

He gets up and goes to the bathroom.

Dean: A gentlemen doesn't kiss and tell…but hell I'm not a gentlemen, and she is anything, but a saint.

He goes into the bathroom. Alexis is walking to the diner, and she gets an eerie feeling. She stops and turns around. There is an old store and she is drawn to it. She walks into the store, and a young woman greets her.

Gracie: Hi, I'm Gracie. Can I help you find anything today?

Alexis: No just looking around.

Gracie: Just let me know if you need anything.

The woman walks away. As Alexis walks around and looks at things she notices a display of dolls on a wall. She walks over to them and picks one up. The woman is standing next to her again.

Gracie: Beautiful aren't they?

Alexis: Yes, they are.

Gracie: They are selling like crazy. They're my own design.

Alexis: You make these?

Gracie: Yes. Would you like one?

Alexis: I never really had a doll growing up.

Gracie: Really well every girl should have one.

She takes the doll from Alexis.

Gracie: I'll tell you what I will give this to you half price if you want to buy it today.

Alexis: Really why?

Gracie: Well, you seem nice enough and every doll should have a nice home.

Alexis: Thank you.

Alexis finishes paying and Gracie hands her the bag. Alexis walks out of the store. The woman waves goodbye and when Alexis leaves her eyes blink black. Fade out.

Fade in. Ruby is in the diner drinking coffee when Sam and Dean walk in. They sit across from her. Sam doesn't look at her.

Dean: So…

Ruby: So what?

Dean: Where are we going today?

Ruby: Oh…right…so we figured out last night that the creatures are called soul snatchers. They use small objects to extract the beauty out of woman.

Dean: So you think it has something to do with the doll that attacked you last night.

Ruby: Yes… and considering that I am a demon it rejected my soul, and had a reverse effect.

Sam: So the host was probably wounded as well and now it needs a double helping.

Dean: We need to check out all of the shops in this town that are selling the dolls and narrow it down.

Sam: And quick because I am guessing that this thing needs to feed soon.

Dean: Alright I am going to get. Alexis.

Dean leaves.

Lena's mother walks into her room and sits on her bed. Lena is cuddled up under the blankets and she is holding her china doll. Her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth.

Lena's Mother (L.M.): Well you have a temperature. I guess you should stay home and in bed.

Lena: Can I have some milk mommy?

L.M.: Sure you can and then you need to sleep so you can get better. Let's put Lucy up.

Lena: (as she takes the doll) No mommy I want to sleep with me.

L.M.: I know honey, but you need to sleep.

When she leaves the room Lena jumps up and grabs her off of the dresser. Lena gets back into bed and closes her eyes. The doll blinks.

Alexis is brushing her when Dean knocks on the door.

Alexis: Come in.

Dean walks into the room. She is still brushing her hair.

Dean: We are about to leave.

Alexis: (looking at him) Okay. I'll be right there.

Dean: Listen about last night. I think that it would just complicate things if we made this into something serious.

Alexis looked at him as he stood by the door.

Alexis: What are you talking about?

Dean: Well, you know last night…the kiss?

Alexis: I'm so sorry Dean…I don't remember. I had a lot to drink.

Dean: Oh… you don't remember.

Alexis shook her head.

Dean: I don't really either. Just what Sam told me.

Alexis: Well, then there shouldn't be any awkwardness should there?

Dean: None. I guess I will see you outside?

Alexis: I'll be right there.

When he leaves she looks at herself in the mirror. There is a flash of their kiss and then it snaps back to her.

They are waiting by the car when Alexis comes out. They get into the car and drive off. They park into town, and get out.

Dean: Okay, Alexis and I will hit the stores on the east side of town.

Sam: And Ruby and I will take the west.

Alexis: Actually, I would rather Ruby and I go together.

She steps next to Ruby.

Ruby: Good idea.

Sam: I don't think that's such a good idea.

Ruby: Well, I didn't ask your opinion did I?

Alexis: She's a demon, and I'm an angel. I think that we can handle it.

Ruby grabs a bag and the walk off.

Dean: Wow, you really pissed her off.

Sam: You should talk amnesia boy.

Dean: What?

Sam: You don't remember the kiss. Ha.

Dean: (hits him upside the head) Shut up bitch.

Sam: Jerk.

The girls walk into a shop and they are looking around.

Ruby: So, what happened with you and Dean?

Alexis: Nothing.

Ruby: Oh come on. This morning you were chipper. More so than usual, and now you look down right demonic.

Alexis: I believe that you're the demon. Besides, how would you feel if you were blown off?

Ruby: Dean, blew you off? Well, hey he is a Winchester. What did you do?

Alexis: I told him I didn't remember, which was completely stupid considering I do.

They hear clapping and Bella steps out from behind a shelf.

Bella: Bravo! I've got to hand it to you he was quick this time.

Ruby: Who the hell are you?

Alexis: Bella the British pain in my ass.

Bella: Don't be jealous sweet heart, at least he never dismissed our attraction.

Ruby: Come on Alexis.

Bella: Always having people fight your battles for you.

Alexis shakes Ruby off of her arm and goes face to face with Bella.

Alexis: This coming from yesterday's trash. Please, I wouldn't waste my energy on you.

Bella: Are you inquiring that I care about you what you have to say?

Alexis: How about you inquire this.

She punches Bella in the face and then Bella slaps her. Alexis grabs her cheek as Bella lunges at her.

Dean and Sam are walking towards the store that the girls are in.

Alexis grabs Bella and slams her head onto the counter top. Bell grabs Alexis by the hair and throws her to the ground. Ruby jumps up on the counter and sits there casually. The owner reaches for the phone and Ruby grabs the phone and hangs it up.

Ruby: I wouldn't do that. PMS you know how it is.

The owner runs for the door. The owner passes Dean and Sam as he runs out.

Dean: What?

Bella and Alexis come crashing through the window. They land on the ground and then jump back up and Bella kicks her and just as they both raise their fists to hit one another Dean grabs Bella and Sam grabs Alexis. Bella takes the opportunity to kiss Dean and he shoves her off of him.

Alexis: (pushing Sam off of her) Let go of me.

She walks off. Ruby is standing where the girls fell through and Sam looks at her.

Ruby: What?

Bella: Sam good to see you again.

She leaves and Dean takes off after Alexis. Alexis is walking down the street and Dean grabs her arm she shrugs him off.

Dean: What is your problem?

Alexis: I'm fine… it's just she had it coming. She needs to watch who she is talking to.

Dean: It's Bella she causes trouble where ever she goes. What did she say to you anyway?

Alexis: Listen Dean I don't need you treating me like a child I am a hundred and twenty-two years old I can handle myself.

A couple walking by stopped and looked at her. Dean pulls her into a secluded area.

Dean: Will you keep your voice down. What is wrong with you?

She grabs him and kisses him.

Alexis: That's what's wrong with me. I remember everything from last night. I know that you are emotionally impotent, but couldn't you have at least acted like it meant anything at all instead of blowing me off.

She starts to walk away. HE grabs her arm she again shrugs him off.

Dean: Please. Just let me fix this.

Alexis: I'm not your car Dean. You know I thought we had something a spark.

Dean: We do. Alexis…

Alexis: No. The moment that you walked into my room today, and the moment that your lips touched hers…you lost me.

Alexis walked away leaving Dean in the alley. Fade out.

Fade in. Dean walks up to the car where Sam and Ruby are standing.

Ruby: Where's Lexi?

Dean: She went back to the motel.

Sam: Well, I got an address. One of the sorority called me she was there when the victim bought the doll, said that there was a little girl who bought that same day.

Dean: Any idea who the little girl is?

Ruby: Good thing it's a small town. Lena Price lives at the edge of town. I'm guessing that since there haven't been any reported deaths…

Dean: Than she is still alive. Got an address?

Ruby hands him the paper.

Dean: Let's go.

Sam: What about Alexis?

Ruby: Let her cool off.

They get in the car. Alexis is in the room she just got out of the shower and her hair is still wet. She takes the doll out of the bag and puts it on the table in the room. As she walks back into the bathroom the dolls eyes are black. Fade out.

Fade in. Lena is in her room and her night light is on. She is sleeping. You see her doll standing over her. Lena opens her eyes and when she turns over she sees her doll and the eyes are black. She screams. You hear her mother trying to get in the door.

L.M.: Lena open the door. Honey open the door! Lena!

Dean, Sam, and Ruby pull up. They get out and go to the trunk , and pull out the torch guns.

Ruby: Are sure this will work?

Sam: Yeah, Bobby said fire for the carriers. The host needs to be staked.

They hear the girl scream and run for the house. Dean runs up the stairs.

L.M.: Who are you and what are you doing in my house?!

Dean: Sam!

Sam pulls her from the door as Dean busts it down and Ruby follows him into the room.

Sam: Miss we are here to help.

Lena is glowing as the doll continues to suck the soul from the girl. Lena is unconscious. Dean throws the doll off of the girl and Ruby picks Lena up and goes into the hall. She hands Lena to the mother.

Ruby: Sam get them out of here now!

Sam takes them downstairs as Ruby goes back into the room. She is thrown to her feet. Dean helps her up and they look down and they see the doll the door slams shut and they are thrown to the ground and Dean is unconscious. Fade out.
