Chapter 12

Koven had finished up crying by the time Tamara began to exorcise Envy. His howls of pain rang through the house, but the four, Bobby, Sam, Koven and Dean, were still able to talk in the next room.

"So. Is he right Koven? Are the others coming for him?" Sam asked. She nodded slowly.

"Yeah. They're all coming." She said.

"You know what, you guys take Tamara and run for the hills, I'll slow them down and buy you guys a little time." Dean said. Koven shook her head.

"No Dean. You're still insane, even when your soul's not on the line. If we're taking these bastards down, we're doing it together, or not at all. Because, not matter how far, no matter how fast we go, they will find us, and they will kill us." She said.

"You guys can still make it away..."

"How do I put this Dean?" She asked, crossing her arms. "We're not going,we're gonna stay here with you to get our asses kicked and maybe stop some demons in the process." She gave a small, sarcastic smile. "So stop your whining, and let's get the holy water." She said.

"You are very stubborn." Dean said with a roll of his eyes.

"I try." She said, taking his arm and pulling him towards the door. Once outside, Koven slowed down and walked towards Bobby's car. Dean still watched her heavy left foot fall, wondering what had happened.

The demon said the people who killed her husband had cut it up. How did they cut it up so badly it gave her this? She seamed so calm for someone who had gone though all that, only to have someone mock her for it. She quickly opened the trunk to look for the cross things she could never remember the name of.

"Are you okay?" Dean asked. She looked up at him and nodded slowly.

"Yeah. I'm fine." She said. Dean, not believing it, crossed his arms and looked at her with a look that said don't bullshit me and she sighed, leaning against the car. "No. No I'm not okay. I feel like bird shit is raining down on me." She said. "I feel like I've just spent the last month in hell. I feel like I'm already dead." She blinked back tears. "But the only way I'm gonna make it though tonight, is if I calm down, take in a deep breath, and just accept that everything that is happening, is actually happening, or I'm just going to break down and cry.

"And I'd rather not do that. So please just drop it for now, and we can talk about this after we've finished off these bastards." She leaned back into the trunk, and scooped up the cross-necklace thingies. She shut the trunk and began to walk towards the door again. Dean stared at her. She sounded so brave, but he could see the sadness and the panic and the worry in her. The sad way her eyes looked at everything, the panic of breaking down, which she knew she would, and the worry in her movements like she would do something wrong at any moment.

She walked with foot fall, her hair blowing wildly in the cold night air and her cheeks tear-stained. One of her hands was clutching to the cross' and the other was holding onto her flannel's sleeve. She was holding something in.

A scream? Her tears? Or was it just the feeling of something else. The feeling of doing something that would stop the existence of another good, but tortured soul. But she didn't seam to notice the interest the elder Winchester was now taking in her. She just walked back into the house to look for the tub she remembered Dean using in the episode to 'drown' lust.

Soon, they had most everything set up, and Dean was sitting on the ground, propped against a box, Sam across from him. The elder Winchester was filling his shot gun, and the younger was pouring holy water into a large flask They met each-other eyes for a moment, before the radio suddenly flicked on and Koven, holding a hand gun and Dean's flask, stepped in.

"Here we go." Dean cocked the last of the ammo into place and the Winchester boys stood, fallowing Koven to the boarded windows.

"You guys stay safe, I'm gonna go to Bobby and Tamara." She said quietly and the boys nodded in response before they all walked to their designated area's.

Koven listened to the music in the background.

I shall not be, I shall not be moved.

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.

"Tamara!" She opened them and looked at Tamara. "Tamara!" The voice of Isaac filled the hunters, and the fan-girl's ears. She held tightly to the flask Dean had let her use.

"Don't listen to him. It's one of the demons okay, it's not Isaac." She said. Tamara nodded slowly, but Isaac's cries only got louder. Koven took in deep breaths, drowning out everything until Tamara suddenly tackled the door and ran outside, yelling at 'Isaac'.

"Here comes hell." She said, glancing at Bobby. She cocked her gun as the six demons walked in, the largest stopping. The five others rushed up the stairs and the large one turned to them. Koven looked at Bobby and they began to back up. Soon they were pressed to the wall, and the large one was walking towards them. He tried to walk in front of them to grab them, but found himself stuck. He looked up to see the demon's trap painted. His gaze landed on Koven, a look of worry painted on his face. She smirked.

"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life boy." Bobby said. Koven looked to the nearby table where the book sat.

"Send 'im back to hell Bobby." She said, taking the book and handing it to him. She listened to Bobby recite the familiar exorcism, and the screams the demon let out.

Then when the black smoke burst out, a gust of wind blew her back into the wall and she let out a pained groan and slid down the wall.

"C'mon kid, let's help the others." Bobby said, holding out hiss hand, she shook her head.

"No. They got it. They got it." She said. "They've got it." She pushed herself to her feet and stumbled forward. She got her balance with the help of Bobby. "Make sure he's okay." She motioned towards the large man on. "I'll get Tamara."

By the time it was over, Koven felt tired as hell, and way to depressed to really do anything. She was slumped against the wall, her cheek pressed into her shoulder, and she didn't look up at the others till Dean splashed her face with holy water.

"Seriously?" She moved her damp bangs from her face. He shrugged and nodded towards the car.

"So. You comin' with us, or you stayin' with Bobby?" He asked. She looked between his car and Bobby's.

"Is it like this all the time?" She asked. Dean nodded slowly and a small smile found it's way onto his face. Koven turned towards Bobby.

"Hey Bobby!" She called. He turned from his conversation with Tamara and Sam, to face her. "You think you can watch my dog?!"
