Heart's Desire Part Three
Dean and Sam had parked outside The Dragon's Tail. They had five minutes to wait before it opened. Dean was ready, ready to go in and finish this hunt. He turned to Sam who was sitting stiffly in his seat.
"So Dean, what's the plan? We go in and tell Kira to stop her black magic ways and burn her books?" Dean could see the frustration in Sam's face.
"Well yeah Sammy, something like that. I figure we'll ask to have our fortunes read and once we have her alone, we'll confront her. She will either hand over all her black magic books and supplies or we'll shoot her." Dean smirked but was dead serious. He was tired of dealing with humans who took other's lives with no consequences. It was hard to let them walk and if Kira put up a fight, he wouldn't have a problem ending her life.
"What! Are you serious Dean? She's a human, we can't take human life!" Sam features were lit up with concern.
"Sam, I'm dead serious! She has killed six people that we know about, that makes her just as evil in my book as a vampire or demon! I have a silencer on my gun and if she tries anything, especially if she tries to hurt you, she's done. I hadn't mentioned it before because I knew how you would react. In fact, I'm perfectly fine with doing this on my own! " Dean knew that Sam was having a hard time with this but if he was going to keep his little brother safe at all times he had to make some tough decisions.
Sam sighed and rubbed his hands up and down his thighs. Dean knew Sam was deep in thought because that was one of his nervous habits that came out when Sam was thinking things through.
"Okay Dean. I don't like it. But you're right, we need to protect ourselves and if she does try something against us, you'd have no choice. I just want this to be the absolute last option, okay?" Sam looked at Dean with pleading puppy dog eyes.
"I promise Sammy, you have my word. It'll be our last resort. " Dean noticed a raven hair beauty walk to the front of The Dragon's Tail and turn the front sign from closed to open.
"Hey Sam, looks like show time. Why don't you ask for the reading? You look more the type than I do." Dean's remarks were met with a slap on the shoulder from Sam.
"Whatever Dean. I so don't look the type to have my fortune read, but I'll ask." Sam gave Dean a weak smile. Dean knew that Sam was trying to brace himself for what was about to happen.
"Okay, then let's do this." Dean replied as he opened up the car door.
oooOOOooo
Sam approached the front door of the shop with butterflies in his stomach. He had a bad feeling about this hunt. He had felt like it was going to be a dangerous hunt from the beginning but after his talk with Dean about maybe having to take out Kira, he knew this was going to be dangerous.
Sam took a calming breath as he opened the front door to the shop. A little bell rang as he and his brother entered the store.
A raven haired woman that appeared to be in her early forties looked up from the counter that she was standing behind.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you guys with today?" She asked with a friendly smile.
Sam tried to give her a friendly smile back, as he swallowed hard. "Um yeah, I was told that you do palm reading here? I was wondering if I could make an appointment to do that?" Sam knew that she could see how uncomfortable he was with the whole situation from the amused look on her face.
Things got even worse when his brother spoke up from behind him. "Yeah, Sammy here has always wanted to do this but has been too shy to ask. In fact, would it be okay if I sat with him while you did the reading? I'm sure that would put him more at ease." Sam couldn't see his brother's expression but he knew that there was an amused smile on his face.
"Oh of course, many people are a little nervous about their first time." The women replied giving Dean a conspiratorial wink.
Sam was ready to die. He decided to try to get this over as soon as possible. "So do you think we could do this soon? We're heading out of town tomorrow."
"Sure Sammy, I could do the reading now, just let me lock the front door and put the "will open after a private reading" sign up." The woman replied as she walked out from behind the counter.
"It's Sam, my brother just likes to annoy me by calling me Sammy." Sam bit out as the woman walked past him and then he gave Dean a glare. Kira locked the front door and put up her sign.
"Oh well, yes that's what siblings are for, huh?" The woman replied as she walked up to Sam with her hand extended. "I'm Kira, and Sam if you and your brother will follow me to the back room we'll start your reading. I charge twenty five dollars for an hour reading, is that okay?" Kira asked as she waited in front of Sam.
"Sure, that's fine." Sam replied with a weak smile as he and Dean followed Kira behind a curtain that lead to the backroom of the shop.
There was a small table that sat in the center of the room with two chairs placed opposite of each other. Kira motioned for Sam to sit down in one of the chairs as she walked to the back of the room where there were shelves lined with supplies.
"Oh, and I guess I didn't get your name." Kira said as she looked over at Dean.
"Yeah, I'm Dean." Dean responded with a cocky smile.
"Well Dean, there is a chair over in the corner that you can grab and pull up next to Sam's. I just need to grab some tarot cards. Be right there." Sam watched as Dean pulled up the chair and Kira grabbed a deck of cards.
Sam was starting to feel very uneasy when Kira turned around to face them.
What happened next was a blur. Sam watched as Kira threw a small ball like object in the direction of the table. Smoke was pouring from it and before Sam could stand up completely Dean had jumped in front of him pushing him to the side. Sam watched as the fumes brought his brother down hard with his body hitting the floor with a thud. Sam wanted to reach out to help him, but found himself succumbing to the fumes. The next thing he knew everything was black.
AN: I know this chapter is a bit short, but it seemed like the perfect place to stop. I have part four done and I plan on posting it the same day as this chapter, so you won't have to endure the cliffhanger for long.
Thanks again to my wonderful beta- sendintheclowns!
