Second to last chapter


"Hey Lomadia" said Xephos, walking up to his girlfriend.

"Hey, what's up?" She asked, hugging him.

"You may want to sit down" he said, pushing her down a bit.

"W-why?" She asked, looking at him in question.

"Your brother, Lalna… he… died yesterday" he said, sadness littered in his gaze. Lomaida gasped, tears already filling her eyes. She was too stunned to say anything. She just hugged her boyfriend tightly as his shirt got wet with her tears.

"Sam, check this out" Dean whispered, motioning for Sam to come over to where he was. Sam walked over and crouched beside his brother. They could faintly hear a conversation going on between two people:

"Yeah, did you hear? Lalna died yesterday."

"That's a shame… he was a good man. He had a sister, you know."

"Yeah, Lomadia. She's really sad. You should know, Nilesy."

"Yeah… say, Ravs, how's Zoey? Have you checked up on her?"

"She's doing fine… just still really sad."

"Hey, I'll see you later."

"Bye." Then the two men walked off.

"You hear that? That guy from yesterday was killed" Dean said, looking a Sam. The younger brother nodded, deep in thought.

"What do you think's doing all these killings?" He asked, looking at Dean for an answer.

"Can't be too sure. Could be a spirit. Maybe some kind of demon" Dean replied, getting up. He was soon followed by Sam.

"It may not be a demon, though. And what if it's not a spirit? The victims so far have had stab wounds, so it's obviously a blade this person or thing is killing them with. So there's a large chance it's a serial killer" said Sam. Dean made pretend snoring sounds. Sam hit Dean in the side slightly and Dean laughed a bit.

"C'mon, you know I'm kidding. But yeah, your right" he said.

"Dean, c'mon, this isn't a joke. Who knows who's next on this guys list?" Sam said, looking at his brother. Dean sighed.

"Yeah, I know… we should ask his sister some questions" Dean said. Sam nodded.

"Yeah, but when she's ready. I bet she's a bit shaken up" said Sam. Dean nodded.

"Of course" he said.

Lomaida sat on a chair, her hands covering her face. 'He was all I had…' she thought sadly. That's when she heard the doorknob turn. She looked up to see Sam and Dean walk in. "Hi, we'e here to ask you a few questions" said Dean, walking in with Sam behind him.

Lomaida blinked. "Okay…" she said cautiously. Sam smiled at her and sat on the chair beside her.

"Okay, so this person who died, do you have any special connection with him?" Dean asked.

"He was my brother" she said, looking at the floor. Sam and Deans gaze both softened.

"I'm sorry for your loss" said Sam, patting her shoulder. Lomaida looked at him and smiled.

"Did he ever do anything to hurt anyone?" Sam asked.

"Well… he did go a bit insane and almost killed a guy…" she said, looking at her feet. The Winchester brothers nodded at the same time.

"Okay… were you anywhere near him when he died?" Sam asked.

"No. Not that I know of. I went to his castle today to see him, and I saw his body on the floor… bloody… a long cut on his throat…" she said, remembering the horrifying vision of the scientist dead on the floor.

"Long cut? It wasn't a stab wound in the heart?" Dean asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"That's what I said, wasn't it?" Lomadia said, clearly annoyed. Dean nodded and took his hand off.

"Last question: who or-" Dean was cut off by the blonde woman.

"Who. You mean who. And I'm not sure who killed him, but it may be Sjin. Him, Sjin, and Rythian were enemies. I would check with Sips to see if he's been missin from SipsCo lately" Lomadia said. Sam nodded.

"Thanks. We'll do that right away" he said. Lomaida pointed across where she was in the chair out the window.

"That's where SipsCo is. Your welcome" she said.

"Thanks" Dean said, smiling.

"Sipssyyyyyyyy" Sjin called.

"What?" Sips said, looking at the blue-eyed man.

"The two guys Lalna told us about want to seeee yoouuuu" he said. Sips's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Okay… wonder what they want…" he wondered out loud. He walked outside to see Sam and Dean waiting for him.

"Oh hey, you Sips?" Asked Dean.

"That's me. What do you want, I'm busy" he said, crossing his arms.

"We were just wondering if… um, I think his name is Sjen? Has been missing lately" said Sam.

"Okay, number one, his name is Sjin" Sips said, holding up a finger. He held up another finger as he said: "And number two, no, he hasn't, why are you asking?"

"He's on our suspect list for who's doing all these killings" Dean said.

"Why is he a suspect? He has a girlfriend for crying out loud! And he's one of the nicest people I know" Sips said. Dean nodded, as well as Sam.

"Okay. Thanks for your time" said Sam.

"Whatever." Sips said, walking back to his office.

"Well, Sips, I'm turning in. Nite" Sjin said.

"Goodnight sweetheart" Sips joked. Sjin rolled his eyes playfully and walked to his room. He heard footsteps behind him and assumed it was Minty.

"Minty, I know you're trying to scare me" he said, turning around.

"No I'm not" said Minty, who was actually in front of him. He whipped around to see the blonde woman.

"Weren't you just behind me..?" He asked, pointing behind him.

"N-no..?" She said, smiling. She walked to him and hugged him. He smiled as he hugged her back. After a couple more seconds, he broke the embrace.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep. Nite hun" he said.

"Nite" she said. When Sjin walked into his room, he felt an arm around his neck. He put the body against the wall as it grunted in pain.

"Son of a bitch" a voice said, pulling out a sword. Sjin gasped as the arm covered his mouth. "Goodnight, Sjin" the same voice said as something slit his throat.
