Lorelai was in bed. She could hear Sam screaming from downstairs. It sounded like he was in pain. Lorelai didn't want to go downstairs because she felt like she would get in the way. She just laid there, clutching the covers with her eyes wide with stress. It was 2 in the morning. She'd got no sleep because of Sam's screaming. Lorelai heard footsteps going up the stairs. Someone was coming. She kept her eyes fixed to the door. Her eyes felt like they had sand in them. The door opened and the figure of Dean Winchester came into her room and sat on her bed. Lorelai sat up.

"You alright squirt?" He asked her. She replied with a different question.

"Are you ready to explain what the fuck is going on."

"No need to swear about it."

"Dean, don't be a hypocrite. Explain. I am tired, confused and hormonal. You do not want to get on my bad side tonight."

"Okay. Right. You remember the other day when I told you how my mom died?"

"Yeah."

"She died because a demon went into Sam's nursery and fed him his blood. Mom heard something and went in there to check. This demon pinned her to the ceiling and sliced her. That's when dad went in and she set alight. The blood he fed Sam gave him abilities. He could see events before they happened and at one point he moved a cabinet with his mind. There were more like him. Most of them got killed off. A demon bitch named Ruby taught him how to exorcise demons with his mind. To do this he needs to drink demon blood which makes him go crazy with power. That manipulating bitch got him hooked and now we've had to lock him up to detox him- or kill him. We're not sure what's going to happen yet." Lorelai listened through all of this with shock. It had just occurred to her how messed up her new family is.

"God, I hope he's okay!"

"Yeah, and to make things worse, the last seals are breaking."

"Dean, what happens if all the seals break?" They had been talking about these seals a lot, but Lorelai didn't feel like it was her business.

"Lucifer walks free." Dean replied. Lorelai went cold. She looked at Dean. He didn't look good. He was pale. He looked ill. She could tell he was under stress. Lorelai shifted over and hugged him.

"I hope everything works out." She said. Dean needed the comfort. He hugged her back. He thought of how simple things used to be. One small hunt, searching for dad... Everything had got so damn complicated. Dean felt like he wanted to cry but there was no way he was going to break down in front of his younger sister.

They broke from the hug.

"Come downstairs." Dean said to her. "There's no way of you getting to sleep now." Lorelai got out of bed and went downstairs with Dean. They met Bobby in the living room- pouring over books. He looked up.

"Well good morning, princess." He said to Lorelai. She smiled at him and watched as he went back to his books. Sam was talking downstairs. You could hear him mumbling but neither Dean or Bobby seemed too concerned about him talking to himself.

"Bobby, how long is this going to take?" Dean asked the older hunter.

"I'll just check my demon blood detox manual- Oh wait. No one ever made one!" It was obvious that Bobby was nearly going through the same amount of pain as Dean and Lorelai. Lorelai wanted to cry. She was tired and scared for her brother. Knowing her luck, Sam would die. All her family members die so why break tradition now?

"Does it seem quiet to you?" Dean said all of a sudden. They listened. Sam wasn't shouting anymore. Bobby and Dean ran downstairs to check in him. Lorelai sat on the sofa with her fingers crossed.

"Please, no more. Please let him be okay." She whispered to herself.

It was five minutes later when she heard footsteps coming back up the stairs. Bobby and Dean came back into the room and sat down.

"I'm going to ask one more time. Are you absolutely sure we're doing the right thing?" Bobby asked Dean.

"Bobby, you saw what was happening to him down there. The demon blood is killing him!"

"No, it isn't. We are."

"What?"

"I'm sorry. I can't bite my tongue any longer. We're killing him. Keeping him locked up down there, this whole cold-turkey thing isn't working. If he doesn't get what he needs, soon, Sam's not going to last much longer." Dean looked on the verge of tears.

"No." He said quietly. "I'm not giving him demon blood, I wont do it."

"And if he dies?"

"Then at least he dies human!" Dean was on the edge of emotional breakdown. Lorelai just kept her mouth shut.

A while later, the stress must had got to all of them. They had all fallen asleep. Bobby woke up. It was too quiet. He grabbed his shot-gun and nudge Dean. He was fast asleep and wouldn't wake. The kid needed sleep. Bobby went outside his house where he caught Sam breaking into a car. He stood behind him and cocked his gun.

"Uh uh, Sam. The only place you're going is back inside with me.

"No." Sam said, his voice worn out.

"Damn it, boy!"

"You wont shoot me Bobby."

"Don't test me!"

"You wont do it." Sam moved closer to him. "You can't do it."

"We're trying to help you Sam!" Sam grabbed Bobby's gun and put it to his chest.

"Then shoot." He said. Bobby's face tightened with grief. Sam eyes were swimming with tears. He grabbed the gun and hit Bobby in the face, effectively knocking him out. He trip-wired the car and drove off.

Lorelai woke up. She looked at her eldest brother, who was fast asleep. It was weird. She didn't remember falling asleep. She looked at the spot where she last saw Bobby. He wasn't there. She walked to the study and looked for him there.

"Bobby?" She said tired and confused. She noticed the front door was open. She looked out and found him on the floor.

"Bobby!" She shouted and ran over to him. She shook him. "Wake up, Bobby!" He stirred.

"He escaped!" He said to Lorelai. "Sam escaped!" Lorelai felt a stab of shock through her body. This could not be good.
