Everyone's attention was drawn to Liz and her hysterical screaming. The guy at Dean's feet begins to laugh maniacally and this captures our attention also. Between the screaming and the laughing it was getting to be more than I could handle. In my loudest voice I yell, "Everyone shut up!" D looks at me startled and then nods as everyone gets a little quieter. The man is still laughing but not quite as loudly and Liz is looking between me and Sam and is white as a sheet. D walks to Liz and begins to remove her bonds so that he can help her from the chair. He's talking quietly to her and I look to Sam and see him run his hand through his hair. "What the hell is going on?", I question. Liz is clinging to D's shirt and she swallows deeply. "He told them to take me. He wanted you to come after me.", she said pointing to Sam. Sam looked startled and began to shake his head. Dean grabbed the guy at his feet by the collar and lifted him to eye level. "You better start talking now if you value your life!", he says menacingly and I see the snarl that shows such a hardness on his face. The guy says, "Why don't you question the Moose over there?" and begins to laugh some more. Growing tired of his nonsense Dean pulls a knife from the back of his jeans and lays the guys throat open from right to left. Liz buries her face in D's shirt and I turn to Sam. "Ok Sam I think it's time you tell us what you know.", I give him a hard look even though I barely reach his chest.
Sam runs his hands over his face and blows out a breath he's apparently been holding. He turns toward Liz and says, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't the person that I was supposed to be. You must be my brother's girl and what a terrible way to meet you for the first time as myself." I can see Liz begin to tremble in D's arms. Dean wipes his blade on the guy's shirt and stalks over to Sam. "Sam you had better be telling the truth man. You know this means we have to test you again." Sam nods and begins to roll up his sleeve for the customary demon/shifter/bad guy tests. Dean walks to Sam and takes his arm in his hand. Just as he does Sam's eyes turn black. He begins to laugh and Dean looks up at him. I've gone into defense mode at this point and I brace myself for what's to come. Sam grabs Dean and throws him against the wall. D quickly puts Liz behind him and yells for me to cover her. I make my way to Liz and keep her behind me as D goes in to battle Sam. "Liz do you remember how to draw that devil trap?", I say to her quietly over my shoulder. She nods , "Look in my backpack and grab that can of spray paint and get on it then."
By this time both Deans are fighting with Sam. He's stronger than one of them but is having a harder time with them both. He's distracted enough that Liz gets the devil trap finished and then I yell at him, "Hey shit for brains! Why don't you come see if you have better luck with a woman?" Sam looks at me and Dean and D stop and stare wondering what the hell I'm up to. Sam takes a few long strides and soon has me lifted off the ground by my throat. He's right where I want him. His face is hard and unforgiving and a bit confused when I begin to smile even though his got a death grip on my throat. I look to Liz out of the corner of my eye and try my best to wink. She begins, "Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica." Sam's head snaps up and his grip loosens on me. I fall to the ground and roll toward D. He quickly helps me up and I rub my throat as Liz finishes her incantation. "Ergo draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica adjuramus decipere humanas creaturas,eisque aeternae Perditionis venenum propinare. Vade, Satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciae, hostis humanae salutis. Humiliare sub potenti manu dei, contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili omine, quem inferi tremunt. Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine. Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias servire te rogamus, audi nos. Ut inimicos sanctae Ecclesiae humiliare digneris, te rogamus, audi nos. Terribilis Deus de sanctuario suo. Deus Israhel ipse truderit virtutem et fortitudinem plebi Suae. Benedictus deus. Gloria patri." A dark cloud begins to erupt from Sam's mouth and he collapses into a heap in the middle of the floor.
Dean looks between me and Liz. D is looking at my throat and the marks that Sam left there and is shaking his head. Finally Dean speaks,"You two are something else. How in the hell did you know how to draw the devil's trap and recite the incantation?" Liz answers him, "Well when the two of you left Nicole and I got John's journal and began to pour through it. I had taken a bit of Latin in college and so we learned the incantation. Then when we saw the different traps we learned to draw those with spray paint as John had suggested in the journal. Nicole is hardheaded and she used herself as bait. The rest is history." Sam still lay in a heap in the floor and Dean grabbed Liz and hugged her. D wrapped me in his arms and said, "Well I guess I'm glad you two are interested in what we do enough to learn some of it but I'm not sure how I feel about this hardheadedness." I smiled my sweetest smile up at him and said, "I had to do whatever I could. I love you and Liz loves Dean. I know you both love Sam and he needed help." D shook his head and crushed me against his chest. "Y'all continue to amaze me!"
Sam began to come to and when the guys went to help him up Liz and I took a second to hug. We all piled in the car and decided that instead of trying to drive all the way back home we'd go back to the motel. The only thing was we'd need to let Sam stay with one of us. D and I said he could stay with us so that Dean and Liz could have some much needed time alone. We knew they had missed each other and after the harrowing day we had had Liz needed Dean's comfort more than ever. Before the motel though we decided to stop at a diner to eat, the guys never passed up a chance at a good greasy burger and I was having a strong craving for crispy fries smothered in plenty of mayonnaise and mustard. Of course we couldn't forget the pie and Sam had to have a salad. As we sat waiting on our meals the guys began to question Sam. "What happened with you?", Dean asked. "We said the same incantation that Liz did and we saw the smoke but you were still possessed?" Sam sat back and shook his head. "Dean you know you never could say the incantation just right. It seems as if y'all need to take Latin lessons from Liz." We all laughed as the waitress brought us our meals. She gave the three guys an appreciative look and then smiled jealously at me and Liz.
We finished our meals between light teasing and then headed across the street to our hotel rooms. Liz and Dean said goodnight to us and went inside but not before hanging the "Do not Disturb" hanger on the door. D and I smiled at each other and Sam opened the door to our room. Walking in you could tell the bed we had "used" earlier so Sam made his way to the other one. "Y'all please just don't make me lose my supper tonight. I promise to be out of your hair tomorrow." I walk over to Sam and stand as tall on my tiptoes as possible and still can reach him. He obliges me by leaning down and I kiss his cheek. "We promise to be good, but just for tonight." He blushes a little and then sees the marks on my neck. He lightly brushes his thumb over them and says, "I'm so sorry I did that to you." I can see the hurt in his eyes and I shake my head. "It's alright. It wasn't you. Just don't ever let it happen again or I may have to gank you." He nods and I say, "Goodnight." Walking back to D he takes my hand and leads me to the bathroom. He gently helps clean me up and then puts a salve on my throat. I'm sitting on the counter and he's again between my legs. He kisses me gently and pulls me to him. "I am so glad I met such a strong woman. Just try to not give me a heart attack again. I could just see Sam snapping your neck." "I knew what I was doing and I knew Liz had my back.", I said and leaned in to kiss D on the lips. I must have moved funny or something because just then a bottle of perfume I had on the counter fell to the floor and broke. I heard Sam swear from the other room and then there was pounding on the door. "Guys you promised!", Sam almost whined from the other room. I laughed and buried my head in the crook of D's neck. From this vantage point I saw the few little freckles there at the hollow of his throat. I flicked my tongue out to lick those freckles and then said, "We'll be good Sam. I just knocked something off accidentally." D kissed me for a few seconds and then we headed out to crawl in bed.
