Dust clouded Red's vision as she was dragged by her hair down the tunnel. It filled her nostrils so that she could hardly breath, she couldn't even scream anymore. Once the adinerline cleared her first thought was, "This is it. I'm going to die." And then her thoughts went to Alice. She wouldn't have anyone now. She'd be all alone. "No!" The word screamed through her mind. "I will not let that happen!"
Red started kicking afresh at her kidnappers. She heard one of them whimper when the heel of her boot made contact. Suddenly they stop short and she flew a little bit in the air, then fell to the earth again. She got herself together and looked around, but all she could see was darkness. When her eyes adjusted the first thing she thought was, "Oh, no. I'm in trouble."
She was in a large cavern-like space with filled with she couldn't be sure how many eyeless monsters. They were all growling, fighting with each other, not even knowing she was there. There ones that took her started to roar, gaining their attention.
They turned to it and it started to saunter around in front of her, growling and roaring, as if making a speech. Suddenly in the middle of it, everything stopped. It was then she noticed that at every corner of the space there was a mirror. And a mirror monster had just stepped out of each.
They walked to the center of the room, and the eyeless one who had been giving the speech met them in the middle. They stared at each other, as if they were having some sort of telepathic conversation .
Red took the opportunity to sneak back up the tunnel. It felt even longer then it had felt when they were pulling her down it. When she got halfway she thought she heard angry voices. As she got closer she realized it was Sam and Dean. "Of course," Red thought, "They probably think I'm dead." She wanted to call out to them, let them know she was okay, but she didn't want to risk the creatures being aware of she wasn't there. Just then a gun went off. She ducked down just in time to miss the bullet hitting her. "Hey!" She called out, "Hey, I'm alive down here!"
Meanwhile, Dean had grabbed a gun from the car and marched over to the hole. He couldn't believe he let this happen. Red shouldn't have even been here. They should've left her there and went after the creature without her. And now she was gone. Her little girl an orphan. Because of them. Like always.
"Dean," Sam said, following his brother, "Dean, what are you gonna do?"
"This," Dean said, pointing the gun into whole and firing a shot. Seconds later Red's voiced called out, "Hey! Hey, I'm alive down here!"
They both stopped in their tracks. "Red?" Dean asked, then he shouted louder, "Red?! Can you hear me?!"
"Yeah!" Red called back, "They're having some kind of meeting down there so I was able to get away!" Just then there was growling. "I think they know I'm gone!"
"Hurry up," Dean instructed, "We'll help you up when we can see you."
As Red continued her climb up the tunnel she heard the growling again. "Crap," She thought, scurrying even faster up the tunnel. At last she reached the top, where Sam and Dean were ready to grab onto her arms, which they did, yanking her from the hole. "Are you alright?" Dean asked quickly.
"A little banged up but other than that I'm fine," Red said, dusting some of the dirt off, "You guys aren't going to believe what I saw down there."
Just then one of the eyeless creatures leapt out of the hole. Sam emptied most of his riffle into it before it had time to react.
"You can tell us in the car," Dean said, walking her towards it. He wasn't taking any more chances. He was getting Red and her little girl safely out of the line of fire before they came back here.
As they drove to the babysitters Red told them about what she had witnessed in the cavern. They parked in the front of Abby's house and Red got out of the back. "I'll be back in a minute," She said, then walked up path leading to the front door.
When she see was gone, Dean said, "Okay, so they defiantly are all working together."
"And now we know where they're meeting up," Sam added.
"So-what, we fired all our ammo down there and hope for the best?" Dean asked.
"Or we could try to use the alliance to our advantage," Sam suggested.
Dean turned to look at Sam. "How?"
Sam paused a minute to gather his thoughts. Then grabbing a small notepad from the dashboard he wrote down his idea, then handed it to Dean. What if we trick the fireballs, the note read, Into going down into the hole when all the mirror monsters and eyeless monsters are down there?
Dean had to admit, it wasn't a bad idea. He just had one concern. He wrote that concern on the note pad and handed it back to his brother. What do we do about the fire balls then?
I haven't figured that out yet, Sam wrote back, But hey, I figure dealing with one super dangerous monster is easier than having to deal with three.
Dean took the notepad back and wrote, How do we get them all down there?
Sam wrote back, Say we're gonna go down there, say something that gets them so worked up they decide to pull out the big guns.
Just then Red came back with Alice, holding tight to her hand. "Alright," Red said, getting into the car with her daughter, "I told Alice there are some things going on, so we need to go away for a little bit." She looked into the rearview mirror and asked, "Do you think that maybe we could swing by our house and get a few things?"
"Sure," Dean said, "But you'll have to make it quick."
They parked in Red's driveway and Red and Alice got out. "We'll be back in five minutes,' Red said, leaning down at the passenger-side window.
"Oaky," Sam said, as he watch the two rush towards the house. He then leaned back in his seat, thinking. How could they get them all down there? And how could they make sure they were all down there? Suddenly a crazy idea popped into Sam's mind. He glanced over at Dean. He'd never be able to do it with him around. Sam picked up the pad, wrote on it, and handed it to Dean. I think I should stay. Get some supplies.
Dean wrote back, What kind of supplies?
Sam took the notepad and wrote, If I told you, you'd freak out and tried to stop me.
"Well, that doesn't inspire my confidence," Dean said out loud.
"Just trust me," Sam wrote, "I'll call you when I get everything together."
Before Dean could argue Sam stepped out of the car, just when Red and Alice came out carrying a small leather suitcase. "Where are you going?" Red asked, when she saw Sam getting out.
"There just some stuff I gotta do," Sam answer, "You can get in the front seat if you want."
Red looked over to Dean. Dean nodded and after helping Alice into the back seat with the suitcase, Red slid into the front seat. Dean looked anxiously around at the group then drove off, leaving Sam in the driveway.
