Chapter 5
"Oh crap."
"Auntie? I didn't know Alex had a kid."
"Not Alex, Mikey."
"Mikey?!"
"Yes."
Dean pulled away from Anna like she was suddenly on fire, he looked into her eyes then looked to the door at the little boy in the doorway.
"Were you hurting my Auntie?"
"No Greg, he wasn't hurting me."
"What's going on in here?" said Alex coming into the room
"Nothing," Anna said quickly
"That man was on top of Auntie and he was pushing his face on hers, she was making funny sounds."
Anna blushed hard, all the blood rushing to her face as Dean stood up, grinning from ear to ear.
"You seemed to have worked out your issues." Alex said from the doorway
"Uh ya." Anna muttered
"Dean? Dean have you heard a word I have said?" Sam said when they were escorted to their room sometime later
"Huh? What?"
"Dean what the hell is the matter with you?"
"What? Me? Nothing."
"I've been trying to tell you what I found and you're not even listening. Ever since we found you with Anna you've been all goofy."
"Have not." Dean retorted
"Have too." Sam shot back
Both brothers looked at each other in silence.
"Just tell me what you found." Dean finally said
"Okay so when we were in town I stopped in at the gas station and grabbed a paper and it seems that this small town has had some weird deaths lately."
"Describe weird."
"4 people have died in the past month, one shot himself robbing a car dealership, the newspaper said that he was trying to steal a BMW."
"Can't say that he didn't have any style." Dean said and snorted
Sam continued "Another was killed by a man who was threatening to kill his wife, it says here that the man who was killed said that he could do anything. Another man died in his Lay-Z boy chair watching TV. Man's name was Fred or something, really fit and all then just suddenly he didn't move from his chair."
"Wouldn't I love to do that."
Sam glared at Dean. "And the last was a woman, diabetic, and she just walked into the store to buy something then started gorging on cookies and candy. Died right there in the store."
"Damn."
"Yea."
Neither of the two men noticed when Anna stepped into the room until she spoke.
"Kind of sounds like four of the seven sins." Both men jumped
"What do you mean?" said Sam recovering
"Well, the woman would have been Gluttony, the man who held up the car dealership would be Greed, the guy who couldn't would be Pride and the last would be Sloth. Just a hunch." She said shrugging
Dean and Sam looked at her and thought about this for an moment. "You think a demon is doing this?" the question was addressed to Anna
"Haven't heard of a demon in Phoenix since the other fire." Anna looked at Sam and waited for Dean to yell. Nothing happened "Does he know?"
Dean nodded, Sam looked from Anna to Dean. He looked around the room at the French country wallpaper and the plain forest green comforters, the room was small with pictures hanging from the walls, all neat and in frames.
"This Mikey guy, he's just like me?"
"Yea." Anna said looking away from both men
"What's the matter Anna?" Dean said harshly
"Nothing, I was just thinking." Anna said turning a bright smile on to the both of them, but Sam could see right through that smile, it looked just like Dean's when Dean didn't want him to know what was going on. There was something going on around her and he was going to find out what it was, without Dean there to intimidate her.
"What are we going to do about the deaths?" Anna said
"We really don't have much to go on except these deaths. I'll call some of Dad's friends, maybe Helen, maybe she has some idea about what's going on." Sam volunteered
"Okay."
Anna turned to leave but stopped before the doorway and turned around suddenly, she looked at Dean and spoke in tones that made Sam think she was about to cry.
"Thank you for coming. Both of you."
"Anna, wild horses couldn't have stopped me."
She smiled a sad smile and left the room.
"Something is wrong with her, I can't tell right now but I am going to find out."
"Dean, be careful with her."
Dean glared at his little brother and went out into the hallway to the bathroom, Sam sighed and wished he didn't feel so helpless sometimes. He ran a hand through his hair and thought and pulled the small black cell phone from his pocket, he punched the numbers in from the keypad. Two rings later he heard a raspy feminine voice answer.
"Hello."
"Helen? It's Sam, we're in Phoenix."
"Hey Sam, what's going on?"
"We need help with a case."
"What do you need?"
"Ever heard of a demon that could use the seven sins?"
"No. Sounds serious though."
"Yea."
"I'll see what I can pull up, maybe I can find something. I'll give you a call back if I find anything."
"Thanks Helen."
"Bye."
There was a click on the other side and Sam hung up the phone. He could hear the shower going in the bathroom, he decided that it might be a good time to talk to Anna. Sam stuck his head out into the hallway and looked both ways before coming out and walking down the hallway to Anna's door, now closed. He knocked three times before he stopped and listened hard at the door, he heard what sounded like a thunk of something heavy hitting the solid wood floor and then moans of pain.
"Anna?" He said nothing answered "Is everything okay?"
Again silence filled the air. Panic spread through his limbs, tensing the muscles in his arms and legs, his back tightened. His hearing became more acute as he listened for any sound of life from within, another moan ripped through the air. Sam touched the doorknob and considered walking in, another moan and he forgot and turned it. Inside he found Anna on the ground clutching her head in pain, her body was curled up into a ball and she was moaning.
"Anna! Oh my god! Are you alright?"
Sam kneeled on the ground and looked her over, not finding any wounds he touched her head and felt a slam of pain in his own head, inside his brain he saw flashes of light then blurbs of light talking in muffled voices. Waves of pain washed over him as he continued to touch her, strangely he could still hear her moans turn to cries of pain. He stopped touching her and called her name repeatedly, she didn't seem to acknowledge his existence.
"SAM!" she suddenly lurched and convulsed.
