Authors Notes: Thought I would be nice and update. I think I had most fun writing this episode, I'm sure you guys will love it!
Will Dean finally tell Liz about the deal? :O
Dean and Liz sat on the couch in Bobby's living room, Dean had his arm wrapped around Liz as she cuddled with him watching Halloween on the tv, which was by far Liz's favorite horror movie. It'd now been two months since what had gone down in Ohio. They'd become a little more closer, Liz wasn't as edgy as she had been. You could say, they were almost like how they used to be now.
Dean still hadn't been able to get up the guts and tell Liz about the deal, it was nearing October already, Robby had turned a year old last month. It had been hard a little on Liz, considering the fact that Mark wasn't there, but Dean had been good enough; he got the little guy a leather jacket just for his size, a pair of sunglasses, and he was even able to find online, with help from Gabrielle, a few band shirts.
His personal favorite was this Led Zeppelin shirt he got, he got a matching one his size, he loved taking Robby out with them wearing the two outfits. He'd get compliments from women saying how great he was, or how adorable him and Robby looked. He quite liked taking care of the kid.
Robby was upstairs, it was currently ten at night. Gabrielle and Sam had gone out earlier, for what, they didn't say. Bobby was somewhere in the house, probably researching, so Dean and Liz thought they would sit back and watch a good horror movie; since it was close to Halloween after all and what better to help get you excited for Halloween, then putting the movie Halloween on? Well, that's what Liz had said, since Dean had at first suggested they should watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
All the lights were off, except for the television light that was. Dean had tried making Liz jump a few times while she was getting into the movie, she'd seen it thousands of times before, but with the mood like it was it was quite easy for Dean to scare Liz. Dean had made sure it was one of the parts where in the movie someone would jump out at. They were currently at the part when Laurie had gone next door, she just saw Anne sprawled out on the bed, she was backing out of the room. Dean smirked, knowing it was a perfect part to make Liz jump.
He looked from the corner of his eye, seeing that Liz had her eyes glued to the television, he grinned. Too perfect. Right when Laurie jumped as Paul's body came down, Dean brought his arm and poked Liz's side which made her jump and scream. Dean sat there laughing, Liz looked over at him glaring and punched him in the arm, "God, I hate you!" She shrilled.
Dean laughed, "Come on Lizzie, I was just playing." Liz rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. Dean smirked then brought his hands to Liz's side and started ticking her, making her laugh.
"Dean, stop it!" She said, laughing hysterically as he tickled her. They both jumped once they heard the front door open. Dean brought his arms away from Liz, and she looked away as Sam and Gabrielle walked in.
Gabrielle walked into the living room, noticing that Dean and Liz had been watching Halloween, not that it was one of her favorites though, "Halloween?" She asked in a 'really?' type of voice, Dean and Liz awkwardly nodded their heads. Dean wanted to kill Gabrielle and Sam for ending what was going on between him and Liz.
Dean reached for his beer that sat on the table in front of them and then took a sip of it, "You guys were out for quite long." His voice you could easily tell that it was slightly annoyed.
Sam shrugged, pulling up a chair and sitting down. Liz rolled her eyes, why'd Sam and Gabrielle have to walk in on this? Gabrielle casually walked over and made Liz moved away and she sat down next to Liz, "Nothing you two need to wonder about." Gabrielle assured them, "Sam and I were just out."
Liz squinted her eyebrows, wondering what exactly Sam and Gabrielle had gone out for, "We found ourselves a hunt, by the way." Gabrielle spoke, Liz sat up in excitement. They had taken a small break for a while, only because Liz had to take care of Robby. She didn't want to leave him a whole lot, she wanted to be there for him.
After all, when she had left him with Bobby, he had learned how to walk. Oh, how she hated missing him taking his first steps. She didn't want to miss anything else, so she declined on a few hunts with Sam and Dean that had came about in the two months. She had to admit, it was hard being a hunter with a kid. She thought, how was John able to take care of Sam and Dean while he hunted?
She missed John, he was like another father to her. Sure, Bobby had been the one to take care of her since she was four, but she looked up to John a lot after he teamed up with Bobby. It hurt her when Dean had told her that John had died a while back, it was weird because Bobby didn't even tell her about John, then again during that time she was with Mark and had told Bobby not to let her know about The Winchesters, though she still wished she could've said goodbye to him.
"So, where's this place exactly?" Dean asked, bringing Liz out of her thoughts and she looked to Sam and Gabrielle waiting for answer.
"Maple Springs, New York." Gabrielle answered. Liz groaned, New York? That was an eighteen hour drive! Well, she had to admit, she hadn't gone on a hunt in weeks because of Robby. She figured that it'd be okay.
Dean looked to Liz, who sighed, "Let's get going." Dean gave her a smile, he was glad she was joining the hunt this time. Dean dealt with getting the movie out, putting it back in it's case, while Liz went over to the den and explained to Bobby that she was going with Gabrielle, Sam, and Dean for a hunt and that she wouldn't be back for a few days.
Liz grabbed her jacket once coming back to the living room, she'd make sure to take a few caffeine pills before leaving so she could stay up. Dean stopped her before heading out the door, "You going to say goodnight to Robby?"
Liz shook her head, "He's sleeping. I don't think it'd be best if I woke him up this late, he'd just stay up the rest of the night and I'm sure Bobby wouldn't want to deal with that." She gave Dean a smile, "Come on, let's go." Dean nodded, turning around and opening the door. Liz followed in salute behind him.
She was ready for another hunt, especially since Gabrielle had mentioned a werewolf possibility. She hadn't hunted a werewolf in seven years. She'd been dying to hunt one of those bastards again, they were probably her favorite monster to hunt.

"So..." Sam started, Dean turned to look over at Sam, but making sure he still kept an eye on the road, "You still haven't told Liz about your deal."
Dean groaned, "Sam, you don't understand how hard it is." Sam felt for Dean, he really did, but he knew that Dean had to tell Liz eventually. He couldn't wait until his deal was actually up to tell her, that'd be wrong. Liz deserved to know about what was going on with Dean.
"Dean, I know it's hard on you, but you do realize that you've got about eight months left." Dean hated Sam for reminding him how much longer he had left, "You can't just wait until hours before your deal is up, if you keep waiting she'll only be worse when you tell her."
As much as Dean didn't want to agree with Sam, he had to. He knew Sam was right, but he just couldn't bare to see Liz's face, "Unless, now that we have The Colt working...we could go to the Crossroads." Sam suggested, this was when Dean didn't agree.
"Are you serious?!" He screeched, obviously he wasn't up for that idea, "No."
Sam didn't think it'd be that hard to take a chance, what if it worked? What if they killed the demon and Dean's deal would be lifted? Then, Dean could go off with Liz and Robby, "I don't understand. Why not?"
"Because I said so."
"We got the Colt now."
"Sam..."
"We can summon the demon-"
"We're not summoning anything." Dean was now quite irritated at his younger brother, he really wasn't in the mood to argue over this.
"Force her to let you out!"
"We don't know that'll work."
"We'll shoot her. If she dies, the deal goes away."
"We don't know if that'll work. You're pitching me a bunch of ifs and maybes and that's not good enough because if we screw with this deal, you die!"
At least he'd die for the sake of Liz, Sam thought, "And if we don't screw with it, you die!"
"Sam, enough! I'm not gonna have this conversation."
"Why? Because you said so?"
"Yes, because I said so!"
"Well, you're not dad."
There was silence, Dean looked at Sam, not believing what he had just heard. He turned back to watching the road so they wouldn't wreck, "No, but I am the oldest. And I'm doing what's best. You're gonna let this go, you understand me?"
Sam looked away, curling his lips, he wanted to say something, but he decided not to. To be honest, he wouldn't mind dying for Liz, he knew she couldn't live without Dean...well, at least not again after he finally came back into her life, making her happy again. He didn't want to see that taken away from her so quickly.
"What about Liz though?" Sam finally got out, breaking the silence.
"What about Elle?" Sure, Dean knew that Gabrielle would probably be able to handle herself better if Sam left, compared to what he only imagined what Liz would get herself into.
"She'll be fine, we have nothing compared to what you and Liz have." Dean was sorta saddened by Sams answer, he had always wanted to see Gabrielle and Sam get together, though he knew Sam was too much of a pussy to even get near Gabrielle, "Elle fears that somethings gonna happen, she won't tell me though."
Dean raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"I said I don't know! She's told me though, she thinks something bad is going to happen to Liz."
Dean was confused, what could Gabrielle be fearing? He then remembered, that night he had walked upon Liz crying after having a nightmare. She had told him Gabrielle had a vision of Mark's death before it happened. Could Gabrielle be having visions of what will happen to Liz after he goes? He was gonna have to bring that up to her.

The Trans Am pulled into a motel parking lot, Sam and Liz both got out. Liz had a jacket wrapped around her, since it was quite cold. Sam walked over to Liz, "Hey, I'm gonna get us something to eat, anything come to mind for you?"
Liz was quiet, no emotion on her face, "Just get me anything, I don't care." Her voice was low, Sam sighed, she gave him the keys and then walked into the motel room. She looked out of the blinds, making sure Sam had left, then went over to the cooler, grabbing herself out a bottle of gin. She popped the bottle open, almost chugging it down.
She then walked over to the bed and sat down, pulling out from under her bed a laptop, sitting it on her lap as she put the bottle of gin down. From the corner of the laptop, there was a date, 7/10/08.
"I'm on the highway to hell!" Liz sighed, hearing her phone go off and knowing it was Gabrielle calling. She closed the laptop and put it down, then grabbed her phone out of her pocket. She hesitated on answering the call, but she answered it anyways.
"Gabby, I'm not coming back. Not until Sam and I find Lilith." Liz said, her voice was rough. It wasn't something you'd normally hear come out of her.
"Liz, please. Robby misses you, he keeps crying wanting his mother."
Liz's eyes softened, missing her son, but she couldn't go back, "If I come back, you're only gonna put me in the panic room again."
"Liz, I promise we won't do that to you again, but you went to the Crossroads we had to keep you keep you in check somehow!"
"By putting me in the panic room?!" Liz snapped, "You had me in there for two weeks!"
"Because we were worried!"
"Gabby, I'm fine. I'm fine right now, Sam has been keeping an eye on me."
"Liz, you shouldn't hunt in the condition you are in right now."
"I'll be ok-" Liz felt a pain throughout her body, she dropped her bottle of gin, along with her phone and then she clutched her stomach where the pain came from.
"Liz!"
Gabrielle shot up, she looked around seeing she was in the Trans Am, it was morning from what she could tell. She ran her hand through her hair. She had the same dream again, she'd been having it ever since they had took on that Changeleng, though there was more to the dream this time.
She didn't understand, why did she keep dreaming this? This time, she was able to catch that what she was visioning was two months after Dean's death. Which concluded, they weren't able to end his deal and Liz had gone on a hunting spree with Sam to track down whoever this Lilith was.
This was what she had told Sam she feared for, but she told him to not tell Dean or Liz what she had dreamed. Sam now knew about her visions, she had decided to tell him after she first had that vision. She didn't think it was necessary to tell Dean and Liz or even Bobby about it yet. She felt closer to Sam.
"Gabby, you okay there? You seemed a little spaced out." Gabrielle was brought out of her thoughts as Liz spoke up with a worry tone to her voice, seeing that Gabrielle had looked startled when she woke up.
She knew the music from the radio hadn't woken Gabrielle up because how could someone wake up startled to Listen To The Music by The Doobie Brothers? She used to be able to fall asleep to that song. After all, she had blasted one of her Dokken albums earlier and Gabrielle didn't even wake up, she slept like a baby.
Gabrielle gave Liz a reassuring smile, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a weird dream."
"It wasn't a vision, was it?"
Gabrielle was silent for a moment, "Um, it's nothing you should worry about." Gabrielle yawned, "Say, how long until we get to New York?" She asked, deciding they should change the subject. She was gonna wait until later to tell Sam about what happened in the vision now.
Liz looked back to the road, "Hm, I'd say we got eight hours to go. We'll probably stop at a gas station in a few, baby is running a little low. Think we could switch and let me get a couple hours of sleep until we get to New York?"
Gabrielle nodded, "Yeah, I wouldn't mind."

"I'm Detective Plant, this is Detective Page." Dean pointed to Sam, "And that's Detective Ford and Detective Jett." Dean then pointed to Liz and Gabrielle who gave the guy in the hospital bed a smile and Gabrielle gave him a wave, "We're with the County Sheriff's Department." Liz smirked.
"Yeah, uh, been expecting you."
"You have?"
"All morning. You are the sketch artist, right?"
Gabrielle snickered, "Yes we are." She gave him a smile, Liz tried keeping back her laughter as Sam gave Gabrielle a bitch face. Gabrielle pulled from her pocket a notepad, "Now, can you give me a description of the killer?" She asked, trying to put as cop like sounding as she could.
"Before we get started on that, though." Dean looked to Gabrielle who rolled her eyes, then turned back to the guy, "I wanted to ask you uh, how'd you get away?"
"I-I have no idea." The guy stuttered, Liz crossed her arms, "I was hiding..." The guy continued, "And he found me. He was coming right for me and then he just stopped." Liz raised an eyebrow, "Stared at me with this blank look. After that, he just took off running." Liz looked over at Dean, who just shrugged. She never knew of a werewolf doing anything like that.
"Now, back to the description." Gabrielle spoke up, putting her pen up in the air. Liz rolled her eyes, "Give me as much physical detail as you can remember." She snapped the pen, making it click and was ready to draw.
"He was about six feet tall. Uh, dark hair."
"What about his eyes? Were you able to get out what color they were?"
"Maybe blue?"
Gabrielle squinted her eyebrows, "Did they seem animal like?"
"Excuse me?" The guy looked at Gabrielle weirdly.
"Well, uh...what about his teeth? You notice anything strange about them? Like, were they oddly shaped, almost pointy like?" Gabrielle asked, Liz chuckled a bit, Dean who was next to her hit her in the side to make her stop and she looked over at him and glared.
"No, they were just teeth."
Gabrielle pushed her lips out and then sighed, "Just normal looking teeth?"
The guy nodded, "Yeah."
"Notice anything with his fingernails?" Liz was having such a hard time holding back her laughter seeing how the guy was giving Gabrielle the strangest looks like she was insane or something.
"He's just a normal guy. With normal eyes, teeth, and fingernails."
Gabrielle stood straight up, "Well okay then."
"No. It's not. Those were my brothers. This guy...he killed my brothers. How would you feel?"
Gabrielle softened up, sighing, "Yeah, guess you're right. I wouldn't want anything like that to happen." She was silent.
Dean noticed that both her and Sam seemed like they were in deep thought, "I know this isn't easy, but if you could remember any more details." Dean decided to speak now.
"There was one more thing. He had a, uh, a tattoo on his arm of a cartoon character. Uh, oh, it's the guy who-he was chasing the Road Runner."
"Wile E. Coyote!" Dean and Liz spoke up in unison, then looked away from each other. Liz smiled, remembering how her and Dean used to watch that in the morning on weekends with Sam and Gabrielle. It was probably one of her favorite cartoons.
"Yeah, that's it."
"Kyle?" Liz turned her head to see the doctor walk in the room.
"Mr. Garrison."
"How you holding up?" Liz turned her head to look at Kyle.
"Okay, considering."
"You're, uh, Kyle's doctor?" Dean asked.
"Yes." Dr. Garrison nodded.
"Can we ask you a few questions?" Dean held up his badge.
"Sure." Gabrielle and Sam watched Dean and Liz walk out of the room with the doctor.
"Don't I get to see it?" Gabrielle turned quickly back to Kyle.
She chuckled, giving him a smile, "Yeah, sure. It's a work in progress though." She snickered, Sam shook his head at her. She handed Kyle her notepad, and he saw that she had drawn a stick figure, "I'm not the best drawer around to be honest." She admitted sheepishly.

"Bahahaha! Wow, Gabby you're such an amazing artist. You really should put your drawings up for sale." Liz joked, handing Gabrielle back the notepad who scoffed at Liz.
"Oh, shut up."
Liz laughed, Dean smiled shaking his head as they all walked down the street, "So, what did the doc have to say about Kyle's brothers?" Sam asked, speaking up to end the little bickering between Liz and Gabrielle.
Liz shrugged, "Well, what we found out about his brothers proves it's not a werewolf, unfortunately." Maybe some other time she'd get to hunt a werewolf.
"Lizzie, you're just-never mind." Liz smirked at Dean's comment, "Anyways, they were DOA at the scene. He did give me the coroner's report."
"No hearts missing." Liz added, before Sam could even ask, "But, there were chunks of their kidneys, lungs, and intestines missing."
"Gross." Gabrielle spoke, disgust in her voice.
"So, if it's not a werewolf, then demon?" Sam suggested.
Liz shook her head, "There's no way a demon would've stopped in the middle of an attack."
Gabrielle groaned, "Then what is going on here?!"
Liz sighed, throwing up her arms, "Who knows?"
"I say, let's go get something to eat now." Dean spoke, Liz's face brightened up, she hadn't ate anything in a few hours.
"Yes!" She fist pumped, Dean shook his head. Gabrielle grabbed Sam's arm stopping him letting Dean and Liz walk a head.
Sam looked at Gabrielle with a questionable face, "Elle, what's wrong?"
"Sam, I had another vision earlier." She let go of his arm, wrapping her arms around her waist, "It was only more vivid this time."
"Well, what happened this time?" Sam looked, seeing that Dean and Liz had stopped a little bit in front of them, Liz tilted her head wondering what they were talking about.
"I was able to get out the date...July the tenth, next year."
Sam crossed his arms, "Anything else?"
Gabrielle looked over at Dean and Liz who were waiting for them, then back to Sam, she made sure those two couldn't hear them, "There was someone you guys were chasing...um, Lilith."
Sam raised an eyebrow, "Lilith?"
Gabrielle nodded, "Yeah," She looked up at Sam with worried eyes, "I don't want this to happen to Liz, I don't want to see her drink herself to death."
Sam didn't know what to say to Gabrielle, he didn't understand how Gabrielle was even having these visions. What was going on? He only hoped that maybe now they could prevent that vision from happening, "Don't worry, everything is going to be fine." He assured he, he didn't know what else to say to her though.
"Sam! Elle! What's the hold up?!" Liz called at them.
Gabrielle looked to Liz and Dean, "Just wait!" She then turned to Sam, "We have to figure out why I'm having these visions." Sam nodded, him and Gabrielle then caught back up to Dean and Liz.
Authors Notes: So there's part one!
