Told you it'd be up very soon! Again I don't own anything. Hope you like Chapter 5!

Chapter 5

Although Jo had tried to persuade her, Ellen had made up her mind, they were leaving. She wouldn't lose Jo. She wasn't going to let the only real family she had left taken away from her. Ellen could feel the tears forming, but she didn't let them fall. She had to keep it together, for everyone's sake. They had almost made it out of Carthage, when a figure appeared a few feet ahead. It was Meg, but that wasn't the worst part. Erupting all around her were snarls and growls. Hellhounds. And a whole damn lot by the sound of it.

Dean hadn't expected this at all.

"Cas what do we do?" he asked, his voice panicked.

"I don't have enough power to take on all of them." Castiel replied.

"How many are there?" Sam inquired.

"Six." the angel answered.

Dean struck the steering wheel,"Damn it!"

"You got the Colt?" Sam calmly asked his brother.

Dean nodded, "Yeah I got it."

"Then we have a chance." Sam wasn't anywhere near reday to give up.

Dean turned to the man in the backseat, "What do you think Cas?"

"With the power I'm at right now, I could probably take out half of them. But I can also direct you or Sam with the Colt because I can see them." was the angel's reply.

Dean retrieved the gun from inside his jacket, a look of determination on his face, "Let's send these sons of bitches back to Hell where they belong."

Meg's face held a flicker of surprise as Dean, Sam, and Castiel stepped out of the Impala.

"Would you look at this, Castiel, Dean, and little Sammy."

"Meg." Dean growled.

"Joanna Beth get back in this car!" Ellen exclaimed, but Jo was already next to the boys, gun cocked at the ready.

"Jo go back to the car." Dean commanded.

"Sorry Dean, I'm taking this bitch down." she retorted, training the gun on Meg

Castiel jumped on the chance, Meg was actually distracted for a split second. In an instant, the air exploded with clumps of fur and blood.

"Damn you!" Meg screamed at Castiel.

The angel strode forward, clamped a hand on the demon's forehead, and Meg was no more. But they still had hellhounds to deal with. Cas was obviously weakened. Dean just hoped the celestial being could direct them and still have enough power to zap everyone out. Suddenly Castiel's face grew serious, "Nobody move. Sam, there's one right behind you."

Dean silently handed the Colt to his brother. Sam nodded and whirled around, hitting teh target perfectly.

"Good work Sam." Dean complimented his brother.

"See any more Cas?" Sam questioned.

The angel nodded and wordlessly pointed in front of him. Dean grabbed the gun from his sibling's hands and fired in the designated direction. When he heard the cry of pain, Dean knew he'd hit the mark.

"Two down, one to go." Ellen was out of the car, standing next to her daughter.

"Ellen, take Jo and get back in the car." Dean said curtly.

The older woman began ushering her daughter back towards the safety of the vehicle. Jo surprisingly didn't resist. They were about two feet from the car when Castiel exclaimed, "Jo watch out!"

Dean's heart clenched, they had gone through all of this just to have it taken away now. No, Dean was not going to let it happen. He leaped in front of the surprised blonde and shoved her to the ground out of harms way.

"No Dean!" Jo screamed just as the eldest Winchester felt the familiar tear of claws through flesh.

Then they were all back at the motel room, collapsed on the floor.

I always seem to do cliffhangers so sorry to those of you who are ripping your hair out right now. Chapter 6 will be my last and final chapter. Hopefully I can post it tomorrow! Thank you sooooooo much to everyone that reads my stuff! Dean/Jo 4EVER!
