"Lorraine's not answering, son of a bitch set us let's go now," Dean was already back out of the house before he had finished the sentence, the other men followed close behind, panic rising in all three of them, they stopped suddenly when they saw a woman leaning against the bonnet of the impala,
"Leaving so soon, boys,"
"Who the hell are you," Dean spat, the woman laughed,
"Don't you recognize me daddy," she replied in the sweet voice she used when she had possessed Mary,
"So it was a set up," Sam said
"How else was I suppose to get you out here, away from Lorraine,"
"So you made all of it up, the whole story, Michelle, Lorraine's boss, that Eddie guy," Dean asked,
"Michelle, yes, the rest of it was all true, though," she confirmed, "oh, the spell, that I made up as well," she added
"Very original," Sam commented, the demon smiled
" I thought so too, anyway Eddie saw me, so I had to take care of him, and peter, well, Peter was an areshole, but I couldn't care less what he did any other time, but after hearing what he did to Lorraine I killed him too, believe it or not I actually like Lorraine she seemed like a real nice girl when she came to visit with Mr. Johnson but then," she started to pace the length of the car, "I found out who was living with Lorraine, and oh, you guys fell off the map for quite a while no one expected to find you guys all settled down in Cedar Falls, Iowa, we have been searching for a long time,"
"I didn't realize we were so popular," Dean interjected
"so the plan was to take over Lorraine, but when I saw Mary, oh, god that was fun," Dean rushed towards her, fists clenched anger twisted on his face, "not so fast," She said, and with a wave of her hand, sent him flying backwards, he landed on the floor with a thud, knocking the wind out of him, "anyone else," she said, looking from Bobby to Sam and then back again, they looked back at her, both of them wanting to tear her apart, but both smart enough to know that they wouldn't even get close, instead they reverted to shooting her evil looks, "oh, boys, if looks could kill, I'd be out of the job"
"So, you gonna tell us why we're here, or are you going to slowly kill us with your monologue" Dean had stood up, despite the pain that seared though his left side,
"You killed my father, Dean," She cried, they all looked at her perplexed "the one you called yellow eyes,"
"I don't mean to get all school yard on you, but he killed our parents first," Sam said
"Well here's a little trivia for you, he wasn't just my father,"
"What are you talking about," Sam asked
"Come on, Sam, you're smart, why else do you think, I'm so protective of Lorraine,"
"You're lying," Dean snapped
"Am I, Dean, I mean just look at the facts, her visions, her unbelievable ability to protect herself against a man twice her size, and how easily she adjusted to your life style." Taking a step forward with every second word she now stood just a few feet from them, "and not to forget Sam visions, and how they were only linked to my father, our father," it all made sense but none of them wanted to believe it, they couldn't, they refused to
"I don't believe you," Dean growled
"Just because you don't want to believe it, doesn't make it untrue," she said in an almost sing song tone
"If that is true then why-,"
"Isn't she allergic to holy water," The demon finished
"Pretty much," Dean nodded, she was within swinging range if he wasn't in shock of the information he had just be given, he would have had another go at her
"She's not a demon in anyway, beside her physic abilities, my father was hitchhiking when he impregnated Lorraine's mother, and that's not how demons are made, but in a sense, we do share the same father"
"So now what," Bobby asked,
"Now, we see just how much of a bitch I can be," she laughed, as if they appeared out of thin air, about 30 demons appeared behind her
"Alright, so how is this helping Lorraine," Dean questioned
"it will get you out of her life, maybe it's my new found sisterly protectiveness, but you're not good enough for her, your weak Dean, she doesn't need you, no one needs you, you know that, you couldn't even protect your daughter," Deans fists clenched again, but the pain in his side reminded him of what happened last time he had tried to attack her, "but then again revenge is sweet, also" the army of demons walked towards them,
"Yeah, I remember the feeling when I killed your father," Dean smiled slyly, the demon returned the smile,
"Well it's been fun catching up, I'll see you in hell," she replied walking off,
"Save me a seat," Dean spat back,
"You think we can take them," Sam asked
"If one more shows up, we may have a problem," Dean replied, looking at the small army that stood in front of them, the three men drew their weapons, the demons ran towards them, Shots were fired,
"Make for the house," Bobby yelled out to Dean and Sam, they ran to the front door, "get upstairs now," he commanded, there duffel bags still sat in the car, none of them anticipating they would be needed, the only weapons they had were the ones in their hands,
"we're screwed," Sam said pointlessly, Dean cursed out loudly as he tried to think up a plan, as how he was going to get them out of this, he was also thinking about what the demon had told them, Lorraine's father was the yellow eyed demon, how the hell was he suppose to handle that, for all he knew this could have been set up by all of them,
"Don't even think it, Dean," Sam voice cut in as if he had read his brothers thoughts,
"What," he snapped,
"Exactly what you thought the last time you thought Lorraine was working with yellow eyes, no way would she be in on this,"
"Why not, Sam, what makes you think she's not, maybe that's why we can't get a hold of anyone, at home"
"Get a hold of yourself Dean, why go to all this trouble, when she could have done it years ago," there was a loud crash from the floor below,
"there inside, so do you mind, picking this up later," Bobby said, then added "and Dean you're a idiot if you think Lorraine has anything to do with this, you're not thinking straight, as usual"
Dean didn't have time to reply as the door flew open and they held their guns up, ready to fire but there was nothing there, suddenly all three of them where pinned up against the wall, their weapons flying out of their hands,
"Sorry, boys, I was just playing with you," it was the demon they encountered outside, "the army's gone, just wanted a bit of fun"
"Oh, yeah, it was a real buckets o' laughs," Dean growled,
"oh, Dean you're so easy to predict, Ready to turn on Lorraine, without hearing her side of the story, she had nothing to do with this, like I said before she doesn't have a demonic bone in her body, she's not even aware who her father is," The demon tutted, then added with a dramatic air, that could of earnt her an award "poor, Lorraine, how do you think she will feel, when she finds out the love of her life, father of her child, was ready to turn his back on her, without a second thought, that's exactly why I think getting you out of her life would be the best thing for her, and while my father was alive that what have been good enough, but now that he's gone, what's a demonic life without a bit of revenge,"
"Here we go again, with the unnecessary talking," Dean groaned,
"I think I'm going to enjoy killing you the most," She walked up to Dean, her face was just inches from his, she placed a hand on his chest, Dean yelled out in agony,
"Nooo" Sam yelled, he tried to move, but his body refused to do so, the demon leaned in close to Dean, her lips just inches away from his ear as she whispered so only Dean could hear,
"You got in the way. It was never meant to be you; my father had a plan, could you imagine what he could do with a child created from Lorraine and Sam, his chosen one," Dean wanted to hit the bitch, but he couldn't move, he couldn't even think straight, all he could do was glare angrily at the demon, "what do you think Dean, with you finally out of the way, do you think I could finish daddy's plan," she threw her head back as she laughed loudly as her hand entered Deans chest, causing him to scream, soon, a black smog was emerging from his chest, then with a piecing scream, the Demon exited the body it had possessed then all four bodies fell to the floor heavily, Sam crawled over to Dean lifeless body, pulling him onto his lap, "Dean," he yelled as the tears started falling down his face, he shook his brother's body franticly, but there was nothing more he could do, he had now lost his brother too.

"close your eyes, mummy," Mary whispered to Lorraine, as she placed a little hand on her mother's forehead, Lorraine, to shocked to do anything else, complied, and she was nearly instantly transported to another place, she turned in circles taking in the trees that towered above her, finally stopping and stared at the waterfall, the crystal blue water of the lake looked inviting, and the rushing sound of the falling water seemed to sooth her, she closed her eyes inhaling deeply, the smell of the trees and the water,
"I thought this would be a more relaxing setting," Lorraine let out a yelp of surprise as she turned to the man that had spoken, she didn't recognize the man, until his eyes briefly flashed yellow,
"I thought you were dead," Lorraine replied,
"Which is why I had to go though Mary, great kid you got there she will do many great things," he replied, Lorraine was met with a rush of fear and pride, the man continued, "there are some things that I need to tell you,"
"why should I listen to you," Lorraine replied, anger winning the emotional battle within in her, "you're the one that killed Dean's parents, and did whatever it was that you did to Sam," as she spoke the man walked towards the waterfall and sat upon one of the large rocks that stuck out of the ground,
"you might want to make yourself more comfortable," he indicated to another rock, she gave him a stubborn glare, arms folded defiantly in front of her, as she shifted on her feet, finding a position that didn't make her legs sting, the man let out a chuckle, "suit yourself" Lorraine tried to will herself awake, she must be dreaming, she had to be, she resisted the urge to tap her heels together and chant 'there's no place like home' "exactly how much do you know about me,"
"They call you the yellow eyed demon," another chuckle from the demon,
"Well, my friends call me Azazel" his voice was somewhat smother and more gentle than the last time they had meet, it threw Lorraine a little
"So what do I call you," Lorraine replied a little harshly
"How about dad," Lorraine stood dumbfounded for a moment before she found her voice,
"Bullshit," she tutted,
"No, not at all," was his reply, he continued, "years ago, while I was recruiting my army, I ran into your mother, she was a hard woman to resist, and I think you know what happened next,"
"You're not my father," was all Lorraine could mutter, she definitely had to be dreaming,
"The spawn of my seed," Azazel chuckled, Lorraine shoot him a look disgusted look,
"So why are you telling me this,"
"You had a right to know,"
"You sent Alan after me," Lorraine cried, still unsure whether to believe what she was hearing
"I knew he would find you," he replied as if that justified it
"He wanted to kill me,"
"But he didn't, I wouldn't let him," Lorraine remembered, it had always puzzled her, but she also remembered this man flinging her into the wall which resulted in a broken rib that had made her pregnancy a very uncomfortable one,
"Meeting Dean and Sam wasn't a coincidence was it," she asked
"No, it was all part of the plan, but you falling for Dean wasn't,"
"Ok, what plan," Lorraine was getting tired of having to put the pieces of this conversation together like a puzzle,
"You and Sam," one more piece,
"What about us,"
"If you two could produce the ultimate warrior," Lorraine laughed, she couldn't help the sound was out before she could stop it,
"You're joking right,"
"Why would I be joking" he replied earnestly,
"that's it I'm done, I'm leaving," Lorraine turned and pushed her way through the trees, and came out in the same spot that she had just left, she let out a groan of defeat and threw her hands in the air "you're crazy," she pointed at the man
"It has been said before," he chuckled, jumping down from the rock and walking towards Lorraine, "how do you think Dean is going to feel," Lorraine looked at him shock written on her face, she had been too busy digesting this information, she hadn't even thought of Dean, and what would happen if and when he found out, would he try and kill her, if any of this was real, then she would be the daughter of a demon, and just not any demon, the same demon that had killed his parents, then she remembered the cup of coffee that Bobby had given her, she laughed out loud almost furiously,
"You," she pointed to the man again, who wore a face of puzzlement, "you almost had me going, none of this can be true, I drank holy water," Lorraine was cut off as the man joined in laughing, shocking Lorraine to silence,
"You're not a demon, Lorraine, there's no sulfur running though your veins, you're just as much a demon as the rest of my 'kids', you're just the only one, conceived from me," Lorraine screwed her face in disgust,
"I really wished you'd stop talking like that,"
"All the same, it's true," he looked down on Lorraine,
"So what now, then, daddy daughter picnics, visits every second weekend," finally Lorraine defensive sarcasm was kicking in,
"no, this visit is about Mary," Lorraine hated how easily he could shock her back to a submissive state, "I meant what I said before, she will do many great things," he paused to throw Lorraine a smile, "and piss off a lot people on the way, something is about to happen, and I can't stop it, I'm dead, gone, just a figment of you and your daughters imagination," he added "and it will be the beginning of Mary's destiny,"
"What do you mean," Lorraine asked,
"Times up," was his reply, "it's time to go,"
"no, you can't do this to me, you bastard, what destiny," she screamed, as her surroundings started to spin until the trees, the lake, the rocks and waterfall all blurred into one another, Lorraine's eyes shot open as she sat upright pushing Mary onto her back, she was back in her room, panting as she fought to catch her breath, she started to cry as she gathered her daughter into her arms, and rocked her back and forth like she use to when she was a baby, fearful of what destiny Azazel was talking about.

A few hours later, Lorraine sat in the lounge room, recalling her 'visit' to a wide eyed Joanne, Mary was playing in her room, later she heard the rumble of the impala, She anxiously jumped up, and ran to the door, pulling it open and running to the car, she stopped short when she saw Sam, his eyes were red like he had been crying, she looked from him to the car, she saw Bobby getting out of the car, but she couldn't see Dean, she looked around franticly hoping to catch sight of him, but came up short,
"Lorraine," Sam's voice was quiet
"no," she repeated, as she took several steps backwards, her hand stretched out in front of her as if keeping Sam away would change what she already knew had happened,
"I'm so sorry," Sam had reached her and he tried to put his arms around her
"no, don't," she cried repeatedly as she tried to push him away, he was too strong for her as he pulled her close to him, she grabbed at his shirt angrily as she sobbed into his chest, her legs threatened to buckle beneath her. "Sam, no," she sobbed loudly, Joanne came out the front door, She saw Sam and Lorraine, then Bobby,
"Where's Dean?" she asked, Sam looked at her tears already streaming down his face again,
"oh Lorraine," She ran to her sister, Lorraine wrapped her arms around her neck, and collapsed pulling Joanne to the floor with her, she couldn't stop crying, as she felt her heart being ripped from her chest, Joanne rocked her back and forth and made soothing sounds, A few of the neighbors had come out of their houses and where watching from their front yards,
"Come on, let's get her inside," Bobby said helping Joanne get Lorraine on her feet, and walked her inside.
A few moments later, Lorraine sat on the lounge, tears still streamed down her face, but her sobbing had subsided, Sam and Bobby had taken turns in relaying what had happened, Joanne sat by her sisters side, holding her hand protectively, they left out the part about the Yellow eyed Demon, it wasn't important at the moment,
"I better go and tell Mary," Lorraine said a stood up, wiping at her eyes, realizing now what Azazel was talking about, and wondered exactly what this was going to do to Mary not just now but in the years to come,
"You want me to go," Joanne asked standing with her,
"no, it's ok, I'll be alright," Lorraine turned and walked out of the room, she felt like she was in a trance as she slowly climbed the stairs, and walked the hallway that suddenly felt like it went for miles, she reached Mary's room, leaning against the wall, and taking a deep breath, trying to get a hold of herself before entering her daughters room, she had to be strong for Mary,
"I love you too, Daddy," Mary's voice sailed from the bedroom, Lorraine slid down the wall and started to sob quietly, She felt a small hand on her head and looked up into her daughters eyes, "don't cry mummy," the little girl place a hand on her mother's face, "Daddy loves you, and he says he will always be here whenever you need him," Lorraine pulled Mary to her and hugged her tightly and they cried together. The ghost of Dean Winchester stood over them protectively.
