"Hi" – People speaking

'Hi'- Someone's thoughts


The survivors all looked up in surprise when a knock sounded at the door. Dean opened it to see Ellen.

"Where's Sam?"

Ellen set her gun down, turning to look at Dean. She shook her head softly, telling Dean what happened in the one gesture.

"They took him? Demons took him?" The pregnant woman cried fearfully, "Oh, my God. What if they're in here? The demons?"

"Could they get in?" The priest asked Dean.

"No," Dean thought for a second. "Everybody sit tight, I gotta-," he stopped and looked over at the survivors, eyes going to Naruto. The boy was biting at his nails nervously. Dean was reluctant, but he knew that getting these people to safety came first.

"We need to get a plan. Tell me everything," he ordered Ellen.

"Dean, one of them is in Jo. We gotta get it out without hurting her," Ellen reported, then she scoffed. "It called me a bitch."

Dean looked at her, "Bruising a little easy, don't you think?"

"Oh, it's not what I meant. It called me a black-eyed bitch."

Dean paused in contemplation.

"What kind of demons are these? Holy water and salt roll right off. My daughter may be an idiot, but she's not stupid. She wears an anti-possession charm." Ellen shook her head, "It's all kind of weird, right?"

"The whole thing's off. Do you know why Rufus came to town? Was there a specific omen?"

"He said something about water. That's all I know."

"Padre, you know what she's talking about?" Dean turned to the Father, "The water?"

The Father looked down, thinking.

"The river ran polluted, all of a sudden."

"When?"

"Last Wednesday. The demon thing started up next day," the door guard answered.

"Anything else? Anything?"

"Shooting star. Real big. Same night, Wednesday. Does that count?"
"Well, that definitely counts," Dean got up, searching for something. He grabbed a bible off a shelf, flipping through it. He stopped at a page, and began reciting.

"'And there fell a great star from heaven, burning like a torch and it fell upon the river, and the name of the star was Wormwood. And many men died.'"

"Revelation 8:10. Are you saying that this is about the apocalypse?" The Father exclaimed in shock.

Dean nodded, "You could say. Now, these specific omens, they're prelude to what?"

"The Four Horsemen."

"And which one rides the red horse?"

"War."

"That cherry Mustang parked on main?" Dean pointed out to Ellen, "It all makes sense. If War's a dude and he's here, maybe he's messing with our heads,"

"Turning us on each other." Ellen nodded.

"They think we're demons. We think they're demons. What if there are no demons at all? We're all just killing each other."

"Wait, just back up. It's the apocalypse?" The Father called out in shock and disbelief.

"Sorry, Padre."

Sam was tied up in a chair, with a devil's trap overhead, wondering what kind of demons trapped a human under a devil's trap, when the door creaked open to reveal one of the survivors from the church.

"Who the hell are you?" Sam questioned, "What are you?"

"You caught me," the man said.

"So the Roger everyone here knows, the real Roger?"

"Buried in a ditch," The imposter confided.

"So who are you?"

"Here's a hint," the man said, sitting down, "I was in Germany, then in Germany, then in the Middle East. I'm waiting to hook up with my siblings. I've got three."

Sam scoffed as realization set in. "I know who you are. There aren't any demons in town, are there?"

"Nope. Just frightened people ripping each others throats out," the man chuckled. "Just wait, soon you'll be thigh-deep in warm corpses. Because, my friend, I'm just getting started."

"Open up, man! Open up! It's Roger!"

Naruto looked up as War played with the humans, telling them about the planned demon invasion. The susceptibility of humans always amazed him. Even the hunters had been fooled, if only for a short while. Then again, War still believed Naruto was an ordinary human.

Naruto tensed when War forced the hunters out with his petty illusions. 'Soon,' he thought, 'Soon, I can take it, and then I'll leave the Winchesters and their stupid intoxicating scents behind.'

Naruto watched as Dean and Ellen tried to force the truth on the other hunters. He knew the other hunters would be able to throw off War's illusions, because they already knew that something about the 'demon invasion' wasn't right. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work on the civilians. They had just been introduced to the world of monsters, and they would be suspicious of everything. The only way to stop it now would be to get War. And by now, War would be leaving to go celebrate. 'Perfect.'

Dean slammed into the room where Sam was being held.

"Dean, it's not demons!" Sam explained hastily.

"It's War," they said as one.

"I just can't figure out how he's doing it," Dean said, sawing through the ropes holding Sam down.

"The ring." Sam told him.

"The ring. The ring! That's right! He turned it before he made everybody hallucinate me going hell-bitch. We gotta go, come on."

Sam and Dean arrived at the mustang, panting from the run there. They saw War walking to his car, and Sam pulled his knife out, ready to attack. The brothers froze though, when they saw Naruto walk out of the trees on the other side of the street. Sam started to get up, trying to warn Naruto away, when Dean pulled him down, hand at his mouth to keep him quiet.

"Dean! We have to help him. He's gonna get hurt," Sam begged Dean to let him go.

"Something's wrong! Look! I don't think that's Naruto," Dean pointed out to Sam. When Sam looked closer he could see what Dean meant. The blonde standing there didn't look like the cute innocent boy that the brothers had met. He had a feral look on his face, probably because of the whisker marks that had appeared on his cheeks.

"Shh. Let's just wait and see what happens."
