Episode 11
"Days gone."
Chapter 1
The knife had been strangely familiar when she had saw it in Dean's life. But when she actually held it in her hand she remembered wielding it before from her own. It had been the same knife her father had once brandished and Laney couldn't get it out of her head that even that had made it's way from her life into Sam and Dean's.
She spent nights tossing and turning as she dreamt of innocent blood on her hands and how that knife had seemed to be the curse to cause her to murder.
Nothing was as it seemed anymore. A destiny that she didn't want to come to furition and how no matter how hard she fought, it seemed that destiny had bound her before she had even existed.
The brothers grew more concerned for Laney as days past and she sank into a sadness they couldn't will her out of no matter what they did.
She felt lost and Dean could feel it in his depths. It was something he could understand.
He reached out to her because he needed her to be an anchor again. With her going through this it felt like they were all helplessly adrift and fixing her seemed to be the only way to help fix them all.
It was three days till Thanksgiving and Laney's depresion only grew worse as the flood of memories of the lives she had been forced to take hit her harder than ever. All those people who's loved ones would never spend another holiday with them guilted her to nearly stop eating.
The loss of sleep and nutrition began to take it's toll and the brothers could tell it was wearing her down.
Even though Dean could hear her thoughts and feel her emotions she always successfully blocked his attempts to try and bring her out of it.
One day Sam pulled Dean aside just out of Laney's weakened range and suggested they go to Oregon up to her place for the holidays.
He explained that if they made an effort to show her what she had done for them in helping them and Adam mend their bond and how she had saved people time and time again, that maybe she would start to understand that doing what needed to be done didn't make her a killer or a monster.
Dean agreed that something more needed to be done for her or they were going to have to cut her lose due to the risk she presented in this state. So he told Adam and Laney to pack their gear because they were going to grab some much needed down time.
He managed yo keep his true intentions off his mind so Laney wouldn't pick them up and start to argue and both Sam and Dean were able to keep from spilling the beans all the way to the Oregon border.
"Why are we here?" Laney asked in apparent confusion. The hunger and sleep loss had taken it's effect on her mental capacity and she didn't catch on to Dean's ulterior motives untill the Impala pulled into her driveway.
Dean gave a smirk as he joked "Who'd you buy this place from the Adam's Family?"and as he cut off the engine he muttered under his breath "Man Morticia was hot."
That almost brought a smirk to Laney's face but she had the hunter's trademark of shear stubborness and she pulled her mouth tight in a grimace instead.
Laney rolled her eyes and subduedly resolved to playing hostess as she showed the brothers around her home and land.
She ALMOST seemed like her old self again as she ordered the brothers out of her kitchen so she could show off her cooking skills for Thanksgiving dinner.
The brothers' mouths watered as they were presented with a full turkey feast and all the trimmings. And their eyes grew to the size of saucers when they were brimming to the rim with fullness and she pulled out desert.
Dean ate himself sick and it was worth it for six different kinds of pie. But he couldn't help but notice that Laney hadn't eaten anything.
Even though he was painfully bloated and needed to go into a nice tryptophan coma he still pulled himself to a stand and went after Laney in a rant.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SELF PITY BULL!" He growled pointing to the food. "YOU BETTER SIT DOWN AND EAT RIGHT NOW!"
Laney looked shocked. Her inability to sleep and her refusal to eat had messed with whatever made her able to see inside Dean's mind so his temper flare had truely come from the blindside.
"OH...KAY..." Said Laney looking blank as she complied to sitting at the table.
Dean took a seat as well looking impatient as he gestured to the food.
Laney looked defeated as she heaped mashed potatoes, corn, turkey, biscuits and stuffing onto her plate untill Dean looked satisfied.
Timidly she started to pick at her food like a toddler refusing to eat. Dean looked like he might actully take her fork and try to force feed her so she gave a frustrated sigh and began to eat till she felt really full. Even then Dean tried to push her to eat more uncertain whether or not she was faking untill she turned a shade of green that told him she really couldn't eat anymore.
Once she was full she actually felt better and her momentary spiral into depresion almost seemed silly and selfish.
ALMOST.
She ate better and forced herself to sleep to keep up appearances but she still felt that tug in her soul that told her she had commited an atrocity in the eyes of GOD.
No matter how hard she prayed she felt she couldn't scrub the stain of murder from her soul.
Dean knew it had been the first time she had been forced to actually take the life of another human with her own hands. And he knew that that wasn't something even the hardest hunter got over easy even if it was in the line of duty.
Dean was helpless to feel what Laney felt and he knew where she was right now. He had been there himself a few times.
One day Dean pulled Adam aside and had a long discussion about his need to think things through before he ended up with blood on his hands he couldn't wash away.
No matter what the four of them saw on the news or read in the papers, Dean refused to budge on his new "NO hunting till after Christmas" rule.
That doesn't say that even he didn't have a hard time following that rule as even he started to get a bit restless himself.
But it was doing them ALL good to get the down time. No matter how annoyed Laney sometimes acted that she was tired of the brothers taking advantage of her hospitible nature Dean could tell that being a nurturer came naturally to her and that she really loved having people to take care of.
It was nice for Dean to have both his little brothers at his side and he showed them his enthusiasm by playing small and harmless yet still frustrating pranks. Sparring turned to goofing off most of the time and almost always wound up with one younger brother pinned and getting a wet willy, wedgie or a nuggie.
That was till Laney lightened up a bit and actually gave in to one of Dean's cocky challenges. Then it wound up with a pinned Dean and he had fought his hardest to get the best of her.
Blushing Dean got up, dusted off and wasn't going to let her have the last win as he offered another go.
Then it was best three out of five when she still beat him and he couldn't let it go.
In the end he got her down with a cheap shot and that only lasted a half a second as she rounded on him with the savagery of her grace and flexibility. It was like she had no bones as she bent around him in ways no person should be able and her contortionist act put Dean in knots as he found himself unable to move out of the hold she locked him into.
"Had enough?" She asked breathing hard. Dean was stubborn and wouldn't concede physical defeat to anyone so he shook his head saying "How bout seven outa ten?"
Laney gave him a tap on the shoulder and sighed "There I tap out. You win. Happy?"
"No." Said Dean in a suddenly grouchy mood.
"Aw come on even I get tired." Laney stated as she let Dean go and walked over to get a drink of water.
Looking over and seeing the smirks on Sam and Adam's faces made Dean feel embaressed that he had been beaten by a girl of all things, rationality and control went out the window as he charged and tackled Laney to the ground.
Wrestling ensued and he still wound up pinned. He wanted a real fight.
Laney got off him looking angry now to and took a stance that said she'd oblige. Now the fun really started.
Dean didn't pull his punches striking out with the intent to cause real harm and even though Laney DID pull her punches she still got him down with what would have been a fatal strike had she not held back.
Both of them froze as she realized she wasn't a killer after all and that she could pull back when she had a choice.
"SON OF A..." Laney thought with a smirk as she realized Dean had just played her like a fiddle. He had delibertly hid his real thoughts under the guise of angered and humiliated ones and came at her with such fierce intensity for the soul purpose of goading her into a dangerous frenzy.
Even though he didn't let her win he was still letting her get out her frustration AND proving to her that even when taken past the brink of anger she wouldn't kill another person even in self defense unless she ABSOLUTLY had to. Because he knew her real problem was really just the fear of losing control in the heat of the moment.
"That was beyond stupid." Laney said with a shaky breath as she saw the sly grin spread onto Dean's face.
"I knew I could trust you." Said Dean and his grin widened into a smile.
"That's a LOT of trust to put into someone you hardly know!" Laney huffed as she rolled off him to her back.
"You said I could NO MATTER WHAT. Remember?" Dean thought.
She lay on the ground staring at the sky and she felt her guilt melt away as she whispered "I really didn't have a choice did I?"
"No." Said Dean glad to feel the weight lift of her shoulders.
"We still staying till Christmas?" Asked Adam. Apparently he and Sam had been privy to Dean's little plan to "fix Laney" all along.
"Hell yes!" Both Laney and Dean exclaimed in exausted sighs as they both laid there to winded to move.

For the first time Dean planned to buy real gifts for his brothers and he went into town and hustled pool and poker till he lined his pockets enough to afford some pretty nice stuff.
He shopped in a real store and picked out a nice set of art supplies for Sam because he had a knack for doodling as of late along with some new gear for him and Adam and for Adam he picked out a few items that showed he'd been paying attention to his interest in cars and sports.
None of it felt personal enough as he piled the things into the cart.
He reached to the amulet and wished he could find such a singularly perfect gift for both his brothers. He searched the store top to bottom and wound up buying nothing as he left the cart still filled right in the middlle of the isle.
When he returned empty handed and discouraged Laney took him outside on the porch and sat him down.
"Your brothers are going to love whatever you get them." She said in almost a reprimanding tone.
"But I just want it to be perfect." Said Dean through clenched teeth as he held tight to the figure on the end of the cord around his neck.
"Do you know why that's so special?" Laney asked pointing to what his fist clutched.
"Sam gave it to me." Dean answered.
"Exactly." Laney replied like it should be so simple.
Dean rolled his eyes and went to the Impala and started to rumage through the trunk, mindlessly at first just needing a distraction to keep from snapping and when his hand touched worn leather he realized he had just found at least one gift.
Laney grinned and left him to it and tossed a reminder that there were only six shopping days left. But she had a feeling Dean wasn't going to be buying anything after all.

Chapter 2
FOUR DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS...
Laney passed through town getting together the food for Christmas dinner when she came accross a new occult book store. She knew Sam had a penchant for reading and she figured a few more books for research purposes couldn't hurt.
She knew Adam had a thing for medical stuff like her and she picked him out a nicely stocked kit of first aid supplies. Both gifts had meaning and functionality and she felt proud of herself. Because she didn't want to upstage Dean by any means but she didn't want to neglect giving his brothers some gifts as well.
Dean. She hadn't even thought about a gift for Dean and she didn't know if either Adam or Sam would think to get HIM anything meaningful. She wanted Christmas to be special for everyone.
Laney returned home with arms overflowing with groceries and when Dean came to help lighten her load she kicked him away with a nudge of her foot saying "Get back! NO ONE sees what's in these bags till Christmas!
She waddled into the kitchen and Dean could hear the chinks and clanks of things being put away then Laney bolted up the stairs carrying three brown paper bags.
Three. "Crap" Dean thought as he remembered he hadn't so much as given Laney a passing thought when he was out on his little spending spree and here she had gone and got him something. Well that made him feel like a jackass and that was something to which Dean could not abide.
Finding something that was "just right" for his brothers had proven difficult. BUT getting something for Laney felt impossible because she was far from a regular girl and he he didn't want it to be anything to symbolic for fear of was he going to do?
Laney tore apart her attic looking for the perfect thing for Dean. She had tons of family heirlooms that were priceless and she wanted to show Dean she considered him as good as family to her as well.
She hoped Dean was staying out of her head right now because that would totally ruin the surprise if he was reading her thoughts as she found the perfect thing.

TWO DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS...
Sam knew Christmas was a big deal he just didn't really know why and he didn't get what was with the gift giving no matter how many times Laney explained it to him. He felt there was a reason he disliked the holiday AND the aspect of gift giving, he just couldn't remember why.
Still Laney insisted he find something to give his brothers that represented how he feltabout them now.
How that had to do with shopping he had no idea but Laney had given him money anyway and sent him into town to look around and find something.
For some odd reason he felt that a bottle of oil and a protein bar would be appropriate gifts for Dean but Laney had said the gifts he got should represent how he felt. "How do you express love with an item?" He wondered.
Laney looked at Adam and jerked her head towards Sam and Dean as she hinted in a whisper he should hopefully have his Christmas shopping done by now.
He got it and nodded that it was done.
She shot him a beaming smile as she set to the task of putting up the tree and decorations.

CHRISTMAS...
Laney was bustling around the kitchen putting the final touches on the spiral cut ham and making a racket as she pulled the cookies from the oven to cool.
The night before the brothers had indulged a bit much on the hooched up eggnog and all three of them were sporting decent sized hangovers.
Dean wondered if Laney was being loud on purpose to teach them a lesson for adding even more liqour in the first place.
His mind was to fuzzy to get a read on hers but he was almost certain that the noise she was making was intended to torture.
"Oh please." Laney said coming around the corner and handed Dean a bottle of asprin and gave out bottles of water. "If I wanted to torture you I just wouldn't make pie for desert that would really make you suffer.
"So is there gonna be pie?" Dean asked wincing as he gave her a grin that made his temples ache a little worse.
"Yes... there'll be pie." Said Laney in mock annoyance as she finished "Don't ever say I didn't do anything for you."
After some asprin, water and light snacks the brothers' hangovers degraded to a less painful level. And Dean's mood brightened as he smelled the nice warm sent of apples and cinamon reached him. Laney was making pie.
It was a dinner that nearly surpassed Thanksgiving and Dean stuffed himself to contentment despite Laney's playful insistance that there was always tommorrow and leftovers.
That night the four of them sat by the well decorated tree and Laney looked on as the brothers exchanged gifts.
Adam went first opening Dean's gift to him. It was John Winchester's journal.
Dean gave Adam a warm smile as he said "Figured you didn't get to know him as well as I did and thought that might give you a little insight to our dad."
Adam gave Dean an equally warm smile as he thanked him for the gift.
Sam opened his present from Dean. It was a small photo album with only six pictures inside. One was of his mom holding him as a baby, another was of what his family had looked like before his mother died and one was of a young Dean holding Sam as a baby. The rest were pictures captured on the road by Dean's cell phone. One impaticular showed a sleeping Sam with a plastic spoon hanging out of his mouth and that made Sam laugh because he could remember that from what he had seen of Dean's life.
Adam's gift to Sam was a nice leather coat that would fit him just right for a change because he had a feeling that Sam wanted to be more like Dean than he let on.
Dean grabbed his gift from Sam and he saw Sam's expression of "I hope you like it!" and it reminded him of the eight year old Sammy that had given him the amulet.
It was a journal Sam had been keeping since Laney had taken him under her wing. And even though Dean already knew what was inside it because of what he had seen of Sam's life and thoughts he knew that this meant that Sam wanted him to know who he was now and that meant a lot to Dean.
"Kinda stole my idea dude." He joked as he gave Sam a found nudge with his shoulder.
Dean opened his gift from Adam. It was a simple key chain with a miniature replica of his Impala. "Now you can carry her wherever you go." Said Adam with a grin.
Dean feigned suprise when he found his gift from Laney and it turned to real suprise as he tore away the wrapping paper and found a set of matching silver and iron knives with Laney's family crest engraved on the handles. He puzzled over what had been in the third bag and what a gift like this might mean.
Laney saw his question and answered with the thought "Wrapping paper in the third bag and the gift just means I think of you as family to." as she shot him a goofy grin and added "And they're functional. Nothing like the gift of continued survival."
That made Dean give a slight chuckle as he nodded his appreciation.
Adam's gift from Sam was a hex bag Laney had given him when they had gone up against Dzunukwa and Sam said "Never know when something like that'll come in handy."
"Nope never." Said Adam with a laugh.
After the brothers had opened all their gifts Laney stood to get them all some hot cocoa.
"Aren't you gonna open yours?" Dean asked.
"I have a present!" Yelled Laney like an excited child as she dove to sit back down.
Dean reached behind the tree to grab the last gift and catching the guilty looks on Sam's and Adam's faces he said "From all of us." as he gave his brother's a reasuring wink.
"Wow" Was all Laney could say as she opened an booklet of I.O.U. coupons that Dean had made himself. All of them saying things like: Dean owes you an hour of the radio down, Dean owes you an hour listening to the music you like and Dean owes you a day without being annoying to you. There was over a couple hundred and only a few were duplicates.
"Hey how come we don't get one of those?" Adam joked totally giving away he and Sam had nothing to do with the gift as if the "Dean owes" hadn't enough already.
Laney grinned ignoring him and said "Thanks guys."

Chapter 3
After Christmas was over Laney and the brothers were over eager to get back in the hunt.
...
It was two days till New Year's Eve and the news showed signs that while the hunters had taken their little holiday break it had given the demons time to rally.
Now it was making the news that people by the thousands were missing and whole towns were being left vacant all across the country. By reports on the news and in the papers a grim story was told of what looked to be sacrificial rituals carried out in towns the four hunters knew auctions had been held.
The warmth of the holidays turned to ice in Laney's veins. They had taken this break so she could get better. The only thing that kept her from the backward slide into a downward spiral was Dean's assurance that she hadn't been the cause of the new deaths and that even if they had spent the month hunting they wouldn't have been able to cover all the towns the demons had targeted.

"DAMN IT!" Dick Roman growled as he kicked the computer monitor from his desk in a tantrum. Even he didn't know that a few players even bigger than him had made their way onto the board.
"I SAID THIS HAD TO COME TO AN END MONTHS AGO!" He ranted. "DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH WORK I PUT INTO KEEPING "THINGS" LIKE US... AND OUR PLANS... HIDDEN?"
"Take it easy." Said Loki. "Everything IS going according to the plan. It's just a part you're not privy to."
" YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A PATHETIC LITTLE DEMI-GOD I SHOULD KILL YOU AND ALL THOSE LITTLE BLACK EYED HELL SPAWN!" Dick fumed angrily.
"One... that would kinda be shootin the messenger... And I thought you were beyond such petty behavior. Two... You know what happens if you interfere with what's written. SO just sit back relax and you'll get your rightful piece of the pie when all is said and done" Said Loki mockingly.
Dic waved Loki off in frustration. He wasn't going to kill the annoying little trickster... YET... BUT he wasn't just going to sit around and do nothing while he was at risk of being exposed.
...
Once close to where he knew his charge would be Gabriel looked to the heavens and said "I hope you know what you're doing up there."

Laney and the brothers had followed a trail to Randolph, Utah and evidence suggested that it was yet another town over run by demons.
Signs pointed to the fact that sacrificial rituals had been picking up as they had gotten closer to their destination and Dean feared it was only going to get worse if they didn't find a way to end the demons' sick business soon.
They weren't going to barge in half cocked and unprepaired this time.
Dean wielded Ruby's knife, Adam manned a flamethrower and Sam and Laney carried guns loaded with combination rock salt, silver and iron shavings, ammunition rounds. And all of them carried two spray bottles of holy water.
They were as ready as they were ever going to get.
They funneled the demons through narrow alleys as Dean had planned saying "If it worked in 300 it could work for us."
And apparently there was some truth to the art of movie making after all because they were able to fight wave after endless wave of demons that came at them.
The battle tensioned air grew quiet as the last of the demons fell and it seemed to the hunters like they had just sinched their first victory.
Untill... They heard the sounds of movement coming from the mouth of the alley.
Two large men were bariling towards them.
Whatever they were Laney couldn't see their true forms but she knew they weren't human as the people the "things" were wearing were obviously dead.
Nothing the hunters knew of was bringing down this new enemy and they had no choice but to fall back.
The only viable thing to do was retreat as they had no way to fight this new foe and the hunters made to go for their car.
Four more of "whatever they were" strolled out to block their path giving menacingly glinting smiles as they showed their eyes.
Laney and the brothers had never seen or heard of anything that had: moving kaleidoscope, tie dyed eyes of black, red, white, yellow, silver, neon green and bright glowing blue.
"Trippy." Dean said as he tried to pass off his terrified sarcasim as bravery. "You gonna kill us or you wanna tell us what you are and what you're here for."
"WE ARE LEGION." Said the voices of millions as one. "YOU WILL COME WITH US."
"Like hell we will." Dean snarled.
Sam's gaze grew distant as memories of hell started to hit him hard and Dean looked over and said "SO not the time to lose it Sammy."
Adam placed one hand on Sam's back and the other on his chest to help keep him standing. Looking to Dean and asked "What do we do?"
Dean could only look back and shake his head that he didn't know.

EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO...
The rift between Purgatory, Hell and Earth became big enough to escape through.
They moved as one always as one. But now that they were in the world of men they could once more scatter into the swine and control multitudes with one hived mind.
They were LEGION and they moved amongst the unknowing masses and gathered their black eyed minions and tasked them for gathering what was needed for a long foretold ritual.
"THE BLOOD OF THE HEARTS OF A STRONG NATION AND THE BLOOD OF DESTINED HUNTERS. DO NOT TOUCH THE PURE ONES FOR THEY ARE OURS." LEGION commanded.
The black eyed demons bowed to their masters and swarmed small towns all throughout the United States to take the blood of the civilians that lived there.
That was how the auctions got started. The blood of the people who weren't born in a targeted town was useless. And what better and more fun way to get rid of those they didn't need?
Then the perfectly brilliant idea of using the auctions to find hunters came to play.
If a hunter's name was on their list then they wouldn't be sold but tortured and bled instead.
Then the Winchesters had to go and make an appearance and tracking them was a bitch. And when they were caught some black eyed "big shot wanna be" thought it would be okay to sell the Purebloods for the fun of revenge. The brothers escaped and had been lost again.
Now after all this time the Pureblood virgin had been sighted and it was rumored that she was traveling with the Winchesters and fortune smiled on LEGION as they were all to happy to close the trap of destiny on the Pure Ones..

Chapter 4
Adam came to and found himself laying in the middle of the street where he last remembered standing. He was alone and his last memory was of the others fighting the hands that grabbed at them and wisked them away in a concussing flash.
He struggled to a stand and stumbled his way to the Impala.
. . . . . . . . .
Dean woke and realized he couldn't see.
A fire came to life beside him and a familiar voice told him that if he wanted off the rack all he had to do was torture.
"Alastair." Dean said in horror as he realized he couldn't move and judging by the pain that was now flooding into him he could fathom being no other place than hell...

Laney came around and found herself naked chained upright against rough concrete by her ankles and wrists.
She had been stretched to the tips of her toes and her arms had been pulled so far that her shoulders were nearly dislocated.
She couldn't move and she couldn't see but enough to make out that she was in a vastly large room.
She tried to steady herself as a door in font of her opened and light poured in from the other side.
She felt her breath catch in her chest as two large shadows darkened the doorway...
Laney felt relief as the figures drew nearer and she realized it was Sam and Dean.
They looked a little worse for wear but they were alive and they were going to get her out of this.
"Hurry and untie me. No tellin when those freaky eyed LEGION things will pounce from the shadows. And not one wise crack about me being naked." She joked giving Dean a smile as he reached for the chains at her wrists.
But her smile fell from her face as Dean only pulled the chains tighter and he and Sam glared down at her with the eyes of LEGION.

Okay that's DISC 3 everybody this was the "Mid Season Cliffhanger" I hope you guys can hang in there through to the end because like I've been telling people my plot idea is AWESOME I'm just having issues with wording it right. For Alex Megan and others who might be offended by what's about to hapen next may want to skip the first "Episode" on the next "DISC" cause it's about to get GRAPHIC (but I will try not to overdo it so if you want to chance it just know I really tried to tone it down). If you missed my mention at the top of the page everyone should read the works of Alex Megan. To Alex Megan, Thank you SO much for helping me filter my ideas you may have noticed I changed my idea around a bit due to the complicated nature of how to present it. And as always: PLEASE REVIEW!
