Thanks for reading…….especially I am loving the nice reviews. Hope the end of this storyline is what you hoped for. There is more of this fic to come though, I can see the ending from here but we just have to make it to the point.

Chapter Nine

Keep in mind the incubus in this fic is my version not so much the textbook version…….just a warning. 

-----

The next afternoon they all went out for lunch with the hope of finding Steve while they were out. It was a different restaurant then the one they almost visited the day before. Dean figured Steve might try different places to find what he needed to do the deed.

"So what do we know about incubus'?" Cash asked in a low whisper when the waitress left with their orders.

Sam sighed, "As usual it has different ways of doing what it needs to do."

"What is that exactly?" Cassie asked as she looked from one brother to the other.

Dean hesitated for a moment as he put his hand on his wife's leg, "It needs to mate to make a baby."

They all looked at Cassie with frowns.

"What?" she asked in a hoarse whisper of her own before she got up and ran off to the bathroom.

Cash sighed before she went after her.

She found Cassie in the first stall.

"You okay?" Cash asked as she waited for Cassie to come out of the small room.

Cassie was quiet until she stood at the sink where she rinsed her mouth. Cash looked at her curiously.

"You aren't pregnant are you?"

Cassie rolled her eyes, "First off I didn't throw up I just felt sick to my stomach. No way I'm pregnant. The thought of what that thing does just made me ill."

Cash was wondering if what her friend said was true though she hadn't doubted her before. She looked at Cassie in the mirror she looked like she might cry.

"Let's go back out before Dean shows up in here to check on you," Cash said while she hugged her friend, "Cass we won't let this thing …..finish what it started with you okay."

Cassie nodded before they went back to the table.

Sam had explained to Cassie before they left to the hotel how the incubus did its work at times. As long as it touched the victim it was able to get inside her head. Once the woman was asleep he would inhabit her dreams and the goal was to have dream sex with her in order to produce a child. The child would be Nephilim or a super being. Sam hadn't been comfortable with the idea considering his own back ground but neither him or Dean mentioned that information to Cash or Cassie since they had come in contact with them.

After the meal they split up in couples to go find Steve. They didn't want to seem as though they were looking for anyone in case they cross paths with him even though that was the plan.

Two hours later Dean began to think there had to be a better way. They had checked the internet before they left the rooms and come up with nothing. They also phoned Bobby to see if they had missed anything.

"Cass, I have a feeling that we may have run into him before he did anything to anyone in this town. It's a good thing but it will make it harder to see his pattern," Dean said.

Cassie agreed with him, she suggested maybe she should be bait for him.

"Hell No, he is already in your head, you are bait," Dean said as Cassie turned around to look at him.

"Then we should use the advantage we have Dean," Cassie said.

He looked at her as though she was an alien, "What?"

"We need to find a way to control my dream so I can kill him."

Dean nodded just as Sam and Cash walked up.

"Hey what's up? You guys see him yet?" Cash asked as she looked from one to the other.

"Let's go back to the hotel," Dean said as he strode ahead of the others.

"What's eating him?" Sam asked Cassie before they followed Dean.

--

Back at the hotel, they researched lucid dreaming and well as herbs that might work to get Cassie in the state so she could control what was happening in her dreams.

Dean watched Cassie as she talked to Cash across the room.

"Hey Dean what is going on with you and Cass?"

Dean didn't answer. He didn't know why he was so against Cassie doing something to save herself. He considered it could be that he wanted to stay the hero despite his past mistakes in their relationship. It could have been because he didn't want her hurt even though he was hurting her more than anyone could by dying on her.

"Dude?" Sam said as he brother dazed out on him.

"Yeah did you find something?" Dean asked as he looked at the computer screen.

Sam explained about the herb they would need and the name of it was the African Dream herb. They called around and found it at an herb shop not far from the hotel. Sam and Dean volunteered to go and buy it while the girls stayed back to chat.

Cash sat down on the sofa while Cassie made a snack in the kitchen for something to do. She was terrified of dabbling with herbs and dream walking or whatever it was all about.

"Cash, is this crazy what I want to do?" she asked before Cash got up to stand in the kitchen with her.

---That night Cassie was a bit nervous about going to sleep. Dean insisted she sleep in his arms though they didn't make love he just wanted the nightmare to be over.

"Dean I'm sorry if this hard for you. At least I won't have to make myself have the dream since he is after me right?"

Dean nodded as he kissed her lips. He wanted her to know he was there for her. She only needed to have the gun with the consecrated iron rounds ready in the dream to kill him when he was not paying attention.

Cash and Sam stayed the night in the room but out on the sofa just in case something weird happened.

"Sam this should work right?" Cash asked.

Sam nodded as he pulled her into a kiss he was convinced it would all be fine, then there was a knock on the door.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know," Sam said as he got up to answer.

--Cassie had been sleep for a little over an hour before she started to dream, the herb worked because in her dream she had control of her environment. She saw Steve just before he pushed her on the bed. He looked evil this time, and his eyes were not right. Cassie almost panicked but instead she smiled at him. The gun was under the pillow cocked and ready to go, when he pushed her down he kissed her which gave her time to get him under her own spell. "It's time he said, before she took the lead and put him on his back. "Oh you are feisty," he said as he closed his eyes so full of confidence, Cassie grabbed the gun from under the pillow and shot him in the heart while his eyes were closed. The black smoke flowed out of him as she ducked while it flowed out of the room and her dream. There was no time to feel sorry for poor Steve, Cassie woke up in a cold sweat.

Dean heard her as she cried against his chest. He sighed heavily when he felt her jump in her sleep. He realized then she was a lot stronger than he ever thought. He held her closer.

"It's over right?" he asked as he stroked her hair. She nodded against his chest.
