They would deny it later that they had been betrayed - something so unholy, so despicable was unheard of, but deep within they knew better.
It had not understood why they sent a low-level like it, but when movements in the mass happened, you went with it unless you wanted to become what wailed in the depths.
It heard the shapes of the words, the names like crystals, sharp, powerful and old, a weight on its being. It went out into the world and the whispers let it straight to them.
Foolish boys that were woefully under-protected, cocksure, cocky and full of themselves; even after all it had cost that family they were still flippant.
It felt no more than a vague irritation with them, as those returned to the mass had been of no relation to it and probably deserved anything the boys had done to them. Anyway, nothing mattered; it'd been spewed out like an abortion so it could the job.
It took form after reaching in and easily flicking over their dreams and nightmares. It was ready. It opened the door with a movement of its hand and stepped into the room.

Dean leapt out of his bed, plugged a couple of bullets in its torso and tried to drag a dazed and bleeding Sam away. A move of its head blocked all the exits and it stilled. The boys' harsh breaths and the cocking of a rifle broke the silence.
It looked at them. There was something fierce and uncontrollable surrounding them, wild, deep and older than it was; Earth and Blood magic, Bone and Sky summoned unwittingly and without practice. It sang to it, recognizing its age, its brotherhood.
It looked at the brothers but the ancient within them blinded it. It smiled, ghastly and the boys flinched. It understood now, it saw the futility of the fight against the Winchesters.
It melted, moved with the ancient, joined the song and made it stronger.
