I seriously was going to post this on Friday 13th, when the movie came out but I had no time and since then I've been putting it off because this was supposed to be the last chapter! (So this has been lurking around on my laptop for 4 months now. I suck) but it's not and I don't know if the next one will be but I hope it and it's looking like it will be.
To anyone who is still reading this, thank you for sticking with me!! I know this isn't the best chapter ever and it's confusing…but I hope all will be answered in chapter 14!
"Turn left here" Lilith ordered and Dean did as she said. His eyes lit up in surprise as he realised that….this was Bobby's place. Sam was with Bobby, he was safe, and Lilith chuckled,
"No one is safe with that bitch Ruby around, not even me" and she grinned at Dean. Dean gritted his teeth and tried to tell himself not to think when she was around but something she said caught him off guard.
"I thought you sent her back to hell…" he said slowly. Lilith turned to him and said,
"I can't control what she does, Dean. I am not her boss…her orders aren't from me. She is just an irritating blemish that I can't seem to get rid of, I'm hoping that when Sam realises that she's a two timing bitch she'll get what's coming to her". Dean remained silent. He was speechless, he didn't know what to think or what to say and he could still feel memories of hell burning into his mind. He became alert when they pulled up outside the yard. He could see all of the cars were still in place and he spotted his Impala parked neatly in between two other cars. Dean looked over at Lilith for her next instruction but her eyes were closed and she was focused on something else
"We're here….yes the Winchester Boy is here, I can feel his presence….kill him?....I don't understand….vessel?….but he's useful….once he's ours…we can…but….yes sir. Yes I get understand…I won't let you down" she was talking to someone or…something. Dean's eyes widened in horror as he realised that she hadn't actually been physically talking but he'd still been able to understand what she was saying. He'd heard what her master had been saying to her as well and suddenly he knew why they'd brought him back. He knew what they needed him for. He could feel his destiny creeping up on him. But worst of all Dean knew that he couldn't change what would happen to him. He couldn't fight it. He'd lost his battle.
"Let's go" Lilith said as she opened the car door. Dean followed suit and he went over and rang the doorbell. There was the sound of muffled talking and the door swung open and Sam stood there looking defiant. His bottom lip trembled slightly when he saw Dean but that was the only hint of emotion that came from him.
"Dean…" Sam said quietly in an indifferent tone but then his gaze turned to Lilith and his face darkened, "You…" Lilith grinned brightly as she stood there at the doorway,
"Sam, hey, it's been too long. I almost missed you. Good thing Dean was here" she said in a smug voice. Dean noticed Sam staring at him and he thought that he should say something…something brotherly. Dean felt even weirder than he had before…he looked at Sam uncomfortably before he said,
"Hey Sam…" it sounded forced and he could tell that Sam had picked up on it. Sam frowned and he said,
"Hey…are you okay?" Dean nodded frantically. The less he said the better. He could feel himself changing,,, he was still Dean but there was something inside the pits of his stomach, something dark – something evil.
Sam glanced at Dean with a weird expression on his face. He could tell that something was different but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Why don't you come in, we have something to discuss" Sam said coldly, his focus back onto Lilith. Dean stepped forward tentatively as of he was about to enter but the sight of a devil's trap on the ceiling of the front room stopped him dead in his tracks. Sam was to busy glaring at Lilith to notice Dean's odd behaviour. But Bobby and Ruby were watching from the side of the house (Ruby had had to wait outside as Sam and Bobby made the house a demon-free zone). They'd seen Dean Catch a glance of the Devil's Trap and hesitate. To them it looked like he didn't want to leave Lilith's side and that thought was alarming enough. Lilith laughed bitterly,
"Like I'm going to fall for that, Sam you should know better…"
"Okay fine. Let my brother go…" Sam shot back in an icy tone. Dean looked up as Sam said brother and it was if the word sounded foreign to him. He peered at Sam with a deep frown for a few seconds before he realised that Sam was talking about him. Sam shot Dean a puzzled glance but he continued to glare at Lilith with a cold steely look in his eyes. Dean wanted to step closer, he wanted to be closer to his brother but it was like he had no control over his body. Lilith turned to Dean and she nodded,
"You can go" she said lightly as if something was amusing her. Only then did Dean take a step closer to his brother, and it was a cautious step. As if he was too scared of being away from Lilith. Dean reached the doorway but his legs wouldn't move once he reached it and just as he did Lilith looked up at Sam and said,
"I like you Sam…I mean yeah I want you dead but I have to say that I admire you," Sam didn't know whether to be curious or disgusted. He chose the latter,
".Hell" he said, the venom visible in his tone. Lilith laughed but then her face grew serious.
"Been there…done that…now it's your turn" she replied, "Seeing as you have some sort of power…I suggest a duel of some sort…me against you. Winner lives and the loser burns for the rest of eternity. Ruby tensed and she strolled out of where she and Bobby had been hiding an angry look on her face. She stopped short of approaching them and she murmured
"It's not supposed to be this way…" loud enough for Bobby to hear. Bobby shot her puzzled glance but remained silent.
Sam was still staring at Lilith as if she had three heads when he looked to Dean and saw that Dean was looking at him weirdly. Sam shifted about uncomfortably, He threw Dean a questioning look but Dean just stared at him…his eyes distant. Sam shook his head slightly. He's probably just getting used to being out of hell, he told himself. This meant that he had to make this decision by himself. He didn't really know what Lilith was playing at…what happened before had been a blip. Luck. There was no way in hell – or Earth – that he'd win. Sam turned to Dean and threw him a look that said what the hell am I supposed to do? And he wasn't too surprised when he was met with blank stare. Sam shook his head slightly. He's still getting used to being out of hell, he told himself. Sam wasn't really seeing any option here. He didn't even know what killing Lilith would achieve.
"What's your plan?" he asked suddenly. Lilith was unfazed,
"How do you mean?" she asked with that bright smile that made Sam shudder slightly.
"I mean…what do you want…why are you after me. I mean…you're out of hell isn't that enough for you…why do you want to have this fight,"
"Something big is coming…bigger than the two of us and only one of us can survive…I thought I'd give you a chance,"
"I'm immune to your powers…what's the point of us even trying"
"You're not immune…besides…I have a few tricks up my sleeve" and with a smooth movement of her hand Dean was sent flying and he landed on the ground a few metres away.
"Dean!" Sam called as he turned to see where his brother had ended up before turning back to glare at Lilith.
"Fine," he said with gritted teeth, "Let's do this"
Dean could tell that Sam had given in and he wanted to scream No, Sam. Don't do it…something's not right here. But he couldn't speak. He couldn't move, he couldn't do anything. It was almost as if he could feel himself slipping away. Something had a hold over him and he couldn't resist or break free of it's grip. And that scared the hell out of him and when Sam glanced his way Dean could only stare at him with the same blank expression. Lilith's eyes flashed white as she raised a hand, Sam nearly moved to shield his eyes from the white light before he realised that it wouldn't do anything. His own hand shot out and soon a purple light was counteracting against the white. Him and Lilith were connected by the one ray of light…half of it white the other half purple. Sam tried to keep focus, he kept his mind free and focused all his energy on matching Lilith's light.
As this was happening Ruby ran over to Dean and she looked at him as if she'd seen a ghost. She began to tremble as she backed up slowly.
"Bobby," she hissed, "This has all gone wrong…Dean…he's not…not himself" Bobby shot her a weird look before walking past her and helping Dean up.
"Come on, Dean let's get you inside" he said gently."
"N-No," Dean said, "I have to stay" and that's all he could say. Dean was going crazy, he couldn't control his actions, his speech. Nothing. It was like he was trapped inside his own body. But that wasn't the worst of it. He knew what she'd done to him and it was something dark. Something darker than he could ever have imagined.
To be continued….
I promise to update it in the next few weeks and not months!
