Just wanted to point out that I have never seen this episode, so this is based purely on what I know. I may have gotten it all completely wrong but I'm hoping I haven't done it too badly. Also, with what I have planned for the rest of the story, I'm not really going to be following the storyline too the tee, but Ruby etc will be a part of it. Ok, on with the show…By the way, I tried to make this sad, but as it's 2am, I'm not sure how well I pulled it off lol.

It was here. The day of the deal had arrived. Nobody wanted to get out of bed, they all just wanted to stay there and pretend that nothing was wrong. Sam lay on top of his bed, and looked over at his still sleeping brother and sighed sadly. Kerry was also awake but hadn't moved, too afraid to wake Dean up. As it was his last night, he had insisted that she sleep in the bedroom with them. He said that it was just because he couldn't be bothered to go into a different room, but both Sam and Kerry knew better. They knew that he just wanted to be close to the two people he cared for the most.

Kerry sighed as she woke, her heart immediately clenching with pain. She was facing Dean at the minute, his arm loosely slung over her waist. She turned so her back was facing him, and she felt him pull her closer to him, wrapping his arms round her and burying his face into her hair. She couldn't handle it anymore and turned back to him, burying her head into his chest and sobbing. She just wanted to fade away, at least then she wouldn't have to wake up in an empty bed every morning once he was gone.

Dean felt her move and as she buried her head in his chest, he tightened his arms round her, gently kissing the top of her head. He looked up at Sam, who was watching them with sad eyes. Dean knew that there was nothing he could say or do that would comfort the pair of them. All he could do was give Sam one of his trademark smirks, not knowing what else to do. Sam gave him a small smile back before getting out of bed and heading to the shower room attached to the bedroom. Kerry heard the door click shut and looked up at Dean, pulling him in for a kiss. Dean readily complied and kissed her back, gently rubbing her back to soothe her. She smiled up at him and he smiled back.

"I guess we'd better get up. L…long day ahead, huh?"

"Yeah."

Kerry slid out of bed and headed into her room, not daring to look back at Dean as she knew she would break down if she did. She quickly showered and dressed before running downstairs to cook breakfast. She was determined that Dean was going to get his favourite foods, to make the day one to remember.

Dean and Sam were up in the bedroom when Dean started sniffing.

"Hey, dude? Can you smell burgers?"

Sam laughed. Trust Dean to be thinking about food at a time like this. The pair of them made their way downstairs to see Kerry standing by the stove, cooking them breakfast. Dean slid up behind her and wrapped an arm round her before kissing the side of her neck. She giggled before turning and placing a pancake on top of the small pile she had on one plate. Dean sat down and pulled a plate towards him before piling up his plate. He didn't fail to notice that she had cooked all his favourites: pancakes, cheeseburgers, tortilla chips, omelette and those mini cheese stick sandwiches he discovered a while back, as well as toast and bacon. Sam also grabbed a plate and took a much smaller helping than his brother, but nobody minded. Kerry sat with them and ate an even smaller portion than Sam, opting to eat just a single pancake and a handful of chips, but she nearly didn't even finish them, having to force the last few mouthfuls down. She made sure to keep a plate back for Bobby who was out walking the dog, and headed upstairs to make sure she was ready for tonight.

They had decided that they would all go tonight, and Bobby and Kerry would hold off any demons to give the brothers more time to hunt Lilith down. Kerry checked her weapons, gun, dagger, holy water, the works. She nodded to herself, satisfied that she had enough, and put the stuff in her bed, then turned to head out of the room, only to bump straight into Dean.

"Easy there" he joked.

She smiled genuinely and wrapped her arms round his waist. He gave her a quick squeeze then kissed her, and she barely noticed that he had kicked the door shut, until she hear it click. He led her over to the bed and pulled her onto it.

"Hey, it's my last day. Gotta make it count" was all he said before his lip descended onto hers.

A while later, the pair of them made their way back downstairs and ignored the looks they were given from Sam as they made sure everything was ready. Bobby came in shortly after, and after he too checked that he had everything, announced that it was time to go. Kerry swallowed down the lump in her throat. She wasn't stupid, just like the others weren't. They all knew full well that Dean wasn't coming home with them. Not alive anyway.

Bobby told Kerry to ride in the Impala, and the whole journey, she kept her gaze on Dean, memorising every tiny detail, from the way his mouth twitched as he drove, to the way his eyes lit up when he glanced over at her or Sam. She smiled sadly as they continued, but as they started slowing down and pulled up in front of an abandoned house, her smile fell and her stomach plummeted. She felt sick, and she couldn't hold it. She threw her door open and found herself emptying the contents of her stomach out on the road. Dean quickly stepped next to her and softly rubbed her back until she settled.

"What happened?" Bobby asked as he pulled up.

"Nothing dad, I just felt sick. Nerves, that's all."

She didn't fail to notice the looks on all of their faces that clearly showed they didn't believe her.

Just before they entered the house, Dean turned to face them all.

"Bobby, you've been like a father to me all these years, sometimes even more than my own father was. I'll never forget it, and I'll always be grateful."

Bobby nodded and pulled Dean into a rough, awkward hug. He coughed slightly before declaring with a slightly cracked voice that he was going to get his weapons out of the truck. Dean turned to face Kerry, and even though she tried not too, she could feel the tears already sliding down her face.

"I'm not one for chick flick moments, but I love you, and as I said, I will always be here for you. I need you to make a promise though."

"What?"

"You stay long enough tonight to draw the seals and recite the couple of charms then I want you to get out of here. When they take me, I'm not gonna look pretty and I don't want you to see. Promise me."

She so badly wanted to refuse, but in her heart, she knew she couldn't. She nodded and a few more tears fell, tears that were quickly wiped away by Dean's calloused fingers. He pulled her into a hug and held her close for a while, and as he released her, he pressed something into her hand. She gasped as she looked down. He'd given her his prized handgun, the very first one he ever received.

"I'm not stupid. I know you're going to stay in the hunting business, but one day you're gonna have kids too, and I want you to give this to your first son, just as my dad did to me, ok?"

She nodded, unable to speak. Finally he gave her his knife that he always kept under his pillow.

"This is for you. I need you to look after it for me ok?"

"Yeah."

She hugged him again, and this time, he gave her a single long kiss. He let go of her and began to move over to Sam.

Kerry wiped the tears off her face and made her way back to the Impala, grabbing her weapons bag and her book out of the back. She quickly placed Dean's gun and knife into the bag before drawing out her own gun and knives, as well as a few small vials of holy water. She put the gun in her belt, and attached the knives to her legs, then placed the vials in various places on her body. Even though she was only there to set up traps, she knew that she was likely to be attacked, so she was determined to be ready. As she geared up, she glanced over at the brothers to see Sam shaking his head, followed by Dean pulling the younger sibling into a suffocating hug. She looked away, not wanting to feel like she was intruding, and her eyes landed on her dad, who was wiping his eyes and getting Jackson out of the car. Jackson had been brought as he was one hell of a good fighter when it came to demons, and would be an alarm of sorts to let them know where the enemy was. She felt her own tears build up again, but angrily pushed them back. Now was not the time.

Once everyone was ready they entered the house, Bobby going downstairs to the basement, Kerry and Jackson upstairs, and the two brothers on the ground floor. Five minutes went past and Kerry hadn't come across a single demon. She pulled out a spray can and began to write a protection charm on the floor when Jackson suddenly stiffened and growled. She pulled out her gun and spun round to see a demon advancing towards her. Without even pausing, she fired a shot at it and quickly finished the charm without even waiting to see if it was dead or not.

Dean and Sam both heard the shot, and Dean wanted to go and help, but they heard Kerry call the dog back and he realised she would be ok for now. He wanted to get her out of there, but now they were actually inside, he realised that the place was much bigger than it appeared, and she probably wouldn't be able to leave just yet.

Kerry continued to move from room to room, and after a while covered the top floor. She noticed a set of stairs leading up to the attic, so she told Jackson to stay while she went up to investigate. It looked just like a normal room, with a circular table near a large bay window, but something in her gut told her something was wrong. She could hear the others somewhere in the background, shooting and crashing about, so she knew it couldn't have been them making her feel uneasy. She turned to leave the attic when suddenly she was lifted up and hurled to the other side of the room. She could hear Jackson growling, barking and whining but she was in too much pain to call out to him. She was flung back across the room, but this time, she had enough energy to scream. She heard Dean's voice calling her, but couldn't answer.

"Who are you?" she asked into the room.

There was a feminine chuckle from one corner and a tall, blonde woman stepped out.

"Three guesses" she said.

She raised her arm and Kerry found herself up in the air one again, crashing into a banister near the window. She winced as she felt something snap and as she fell to the floor, she realised it was a rib.

"Lilith." she gasped.

"Bingo."

Once again, Kerry was lifted into the air, but this time, not only was she flung across the room, but she fell straight down the stairs, crashing into a wall, which then sent her falling down another set of stairs, straight into Dean's arms.

Dean caught Kerry and straight away knew something was wrong. She was silent and unmoving, which were never good signs. He quickly moved her so he could look at her, and noticed a trail of blood trickling down her face from a large cut on her forehead. He could also see various bruises and marks all over her body, and growled. Kerry opened her eyes and looked up at him groggily.

"..ean"

"I'm here. Who did this?"

"..ith"

"Lilith?"

Too tired to speak, Kerry just nodded. Sam came up at that point and as soon as he saw Kerry, he demanded to know what happened, so Dean told him. Immediately, Sam froze in fear and glanced at his watch. Only half an hour left. Dean ignored his brother and scooped Kerry up into his arms before running out of the house with her, Jackson close to his heels. Bobby was already by his truck, sporting a bleeding nose.

"What happened?" he asked.

Kerry woke up enough to stand up and filled them all in on what happened.

"Son of a bitch" dean spat.

They all heard a laugh coming from the house, and they all knew that the brothers had to go. They had one last trick up their sleeves but they had to go then to do it. Kerry gave Dean one final kiss and hug, and watched in sorrow as he, Sam and her dad headed back into the house. It was silent for a while, but suddenly everything erupted. Gunshots were heard, crashes, yells, bangs, laughter? and then a bright light completely consumed the attic, causing Kerry to shield her eyes. It went quiet again, but then she heard bloodcurdling screams, along with Sam frantically calling Dean's name.

Kerry stepped forward, but from the town in the distance, she heard the bells begin to strike. At the first strike, she fell to her knees. By the time the ninth strike came, the house was once again silent. As the last strike rang out, a single tear rolled down her face, and next to her, Jackson threw his head back and howled.
