Chapter Four
When Ruby gets up she ends up flat on her back and the doll has her frozen there she tries to move with no luck.
Ruby: Dean! Wake up!
Sam is banging on the door.
Sam: Ruby! Dean! Open the door.
Ruby: Sam…Dean is unconscious. I'm pinned to the floor. Help!
She turns her head and the doll is right there. She screams.
Ruby: Sam hurry!
Sam gets the door open and starts to set the doll on fire. Ruby can move. She jumps up and Dean starts to come to as the doll makes her way towards him on fire. He kicks it and it flies against the wall and doesn't get up. Dean stands as they watch it burn.
Ruby: I never did like dolls.
They walk downstairs and Lena and her mother are on the couch.
L.M.: What was that thing?
Sam: We don't really have time to explain. Miss where did you buy that doll at?
L.M.: Gracie's Shop on the other side of town. Why?
Ruby: Thank you.
Dean: Are you going to be alright?
L.M.: Yes. Thank you.
They leave.
There is a knock at the door. Alexis gets up off of the couch and goes to answer it, but there is no one there. She steps outside and looks around. Alexis turns around and walks inside. She steps on the doll. She picks the doll up.
Alexis: How did you get down there?
The dolls eyes blink black. Alexis' eyes go wide and some one puts a cloth over her mouth from behind and she looses consciousness. Fade out.
Fade in. Dean breaks open the door to the shop and they walk in cautiously. They are looking around with their flashlights.
Dean: Have you found anything Sammy?
Sam: Nope but she was here.
Ruby walks behind the counter and finds some skin. She picks it up and drops it in disgust.
Ruby: You guys.
Dean and Sam: Yeah.
Ruby: Does it say anything about shedding skin.
Sam: You mean like a snake.
Dean: It would make sense. When snakes shed their skin they reveal fresh new skin.
Sam looks at him.
Dean: I read.
Sam raises his eyebrow.
Dean: Okay I saw it on the discovery channel.
Sam: Found anything we could use?
Ruby is going through some books and she stops on a page. She closes the book and begins to walk for the door.
Ruby: We have to go.
Dean: Why?
Ruby: Lena wasn't the last to buy a doll.
Sam: Who was?
Ruby: Alexis used your credit card to buy one come on!
They run out the door and then across the street to the motel. Ruby pulls out her gun as they near her room. Sam and Dean do the same. They get to the room and it is wide open. Ruby runs to the bathroom.
Ruby: She's not here.
Alexis is tied to a pipe hanging from the ceiling. You hear the voices of Dean, Sam, and Ruby. Gracie steps from out of the shadows behind her.
Gracie: Shhhh. Now be a good girl and don't make a sound.
She holds a blade to her throat.
Gracie: I wouldn't want to mess up that beautiful face.
They hear the front door slam as they leave. Gracie moves in front of her now.
Gracie: Finally alone.
She removes the gag, and Alexis whimpers.
Alexis: What do you want?
Gracie: What every woman wants…everlasting beauty, and you my dear. I have never felt such immortality off of a woman before. You aren't just a snack you're my winter meal.
Alexis couldn't move.
Gracie: Oh yes I love it.
She picks up a vile.
Gracie: Just an ounce of this to the spine and you lose control of your legs and arms, at least for the time being. You know you and your friends have cost me to loose a lot of my girls. They were my family you know.
Alexis: Well, maybe if you weren't such a sick freak, then we wouldn't have had to kill your family.
Gracie: You know all I really need is your soul. I think I could have a little fun with this skin.
She pulls out a table with a bunch of knives and tools on it. She picks up a knife.
Gracie: You are going to pay for hurting my family.
She takes the knife and cuts her stomach. Alexis screams.
Ruby slams her fist into the wall.
Ruby: Where is she!
Sam is on the computer.
Sam: Calm down Ruby I am pulling up records on the town okay.
Ruby: Calm down? That thing has my sister, and is probably killing her as we speak.
Dean: Sammy.
Sam: Got it! There is no known address. The only property is in the shop.
Dean: We were just there and we didn't find anything.
Sam: There's a basement. See right here on the blueprints.
Dean grabs his jacket and they leave the room.
Ruby: So what's the plan?
Dean: I'm gonna fry the bitch.
Alexis screams out in pain, as Gracie hits her across the face. Alexis is losing a lot of blood and slowly losing consciousness.
Gracie: Oh now we can't die just yet. I'm not done.
Alexis spits in her face.
Alexis: Screw you!
Dean and the others come through the front door.
Dean: Alexis!
Alexis: Dean down here!
Gracie hits her in the face and cuts her down.
Sam, Dean, and Ruby burst through the door and call out to Alexis. They hear her down below. There is a door on the other side of the store. Dean kicks it in and they make their way downstairs stakes in hand. When they get downstairs Gracie is holding a knife to a barely conscious Alexis. They stop where they are.
Gracie: Move and I slit her throat. Not that she will be alive much longer. I mean she has lost a lot of blood.
Alexis: Shoot her Ruby!
Ruby looks at her.
Ruby: I can't…
Alexis: Shoot her god damn it!
Gracie: Language.
Dean: Just let her go and we will leave you alone.
Gracie: No I think that you won't.
Alexis looks at Dean.
Dean: Alexis no!
Alexis grabs the knife in her hand and plunges it to her abdomen. Gracie let's her go and makes a run for it. Ruby and Sam go after her. Dean catches Alexis right before she hits the ground. He pulls out his phone and dials 911.
Ruby dives at Gracie and throws her against a shelf. Ruby bounces right back and hits her in the face. Sam tackles her to the floor and tries to stake her, but she throws him against the wall he goes to lunge again, but Ruby stops him.
Ruby: I'll handle this.
She throws a punch.
Dean is holding Alexis.
Dean: Why did you do that?
Alexis: I took me out of the equation.
Dean: That was very stupid.
Alexis: its okay it doesn't hurt anymore.
Dean: Lexi stay with me.
She closes her eyes and goes limp in his arms. He cries.
Ruby kicks Gracie and Gracie kicks back. Ruby grabs Gracie by the throat and pins her to the wall. Gracie punches Ruby in the side and kicks her away from her.
Ruby: This is for my sister bitch.
Ruby throws her into a shelf and it falls on her she doesn't get up. Ruby helps Sam to his feet.
Sam: You feel better?
Ruby: Much.
Ruby hands Sam a stake. Sam walks towards her.
Dean is crying over Alexis. He looks at her and gives her a kiss, then holds her. Alexis gasps for breathe. He looks at her.
Sam is just about to stake her when she throws him against the wall into Ruby. They both struggle to get up when Alexis stands in front of them.
Alexis: Stake.
Dean hands her a stake and she grabs him and kisses him.
Alexis: Can't deny that one now can you?
Dean: Wouldn't dare.
Gracie: How did you?
Alexis: Did I mention that I am an angel… well sort of.
Alexis runs and kicks her, in the stomach and repeatedly. Then Alexis grabs her by the throat and pins her to the wall she stakes her in the chest and lets her go, and backs up next to Dean. She shakes uncontrollably and then sets on fire and explodes in flames. Ruby grabs Alexis and pulls her into a hug.
They are in the hotel room and Sam and Dean are packing their things.
Sam: So, what exactly happened in that basement?
Dean: She was gone man. I mean dead, and then all of a sudden she wasn't.
Sam: Well, she was an angel, and she said she would have powers.
Dean: Sam.
Sam: (tieing his shoe) Yeah.
Dean: I almost lost her, and normally I could just shake it off, but…
Sam: You care about her.
Dean: Yeah. Weird right?
Sam: Really weird, but good. I'm glad.
Dean: Me too. Let's go.
Sam stands and just looks at Dean as they are about toleave the room.
Dean: What?
Sam: You are such a girl.
Dean shoves him. Sam hugs him sarcastically.
Sam: It's sweet really. You're all grown up.
Dean: Bitch.
Sam: Jerk.
They are at the car when the girls walk out. They walk up to the boys.
Alexis: So, where to.
Sam: New york. Possession.
Ruby: Oh, I love possessions.
She gets in on Sam's side, and Sam gets in and looks back at her.
Sam: There is something seriously wrong with you.
Ruby: I'm a demon of course there is.
Alexis walks to Dean's side and he grabs her hand and smiles. She winks at him and they get in. Dean turns on AC/DC Highway to Hell.
Sam: Oh, come on Dean put something else on.
Alexis: (from the back) I believe that driver picks the music, and shotgun shuts their cake hole.
Sam looks at Dean.
Sam: Dean marry this girl.
He smiles and they continue on their journey.
End Credits.
