Chapter 12

Nine months after leaving San Francisco, Dean pulled the Impala into a Diner drive-in. He handed money to Sam and smiled.

"Don't forget the extra onions on my burger." He said.

"Ew!" Zoe exclaimed.

"Dude, we're the ones who have to sit in the car with your extra onions!" Sam said.

"Well, at least see if I can get some pie!" Dean said, "I love me some pie." Sam rolled his eyes and glanced at Zoe.

"How about you?" He asked her.

"Bacon Cheeseburger, no onions." She said. "And pie!" Sam chuckled and got out of the car.

"How come he laughs when you ask for pie, he laughs, but when I ask, he rolls his eyes?" Dean asked.

"Cuz I'm pretty." Zoe said grinning. Dean looked at her in the mirror. She was pretty, and she seemed happy to be with them. He just wished he had the guts to tell her he loved her. She saw the intense gaze he was sending her and felt her toes curl. The radio messing up distracted her. "Dean, is that..?" She asked not having to finish her sentence.

"Yeah I think so, do you see anything?" He asked looking around.

"No, you?" She looked as well. She then looked in the diner. "Where is everyone?" Dean looked up.

"Wait here." He said, opening the car door. She shook her head and opened her door as well.

"No, I've seen way too many scary movies and it's always the one who get left behind that gets ganked first." She said. Dean shook his head and they walked into the diner. Everyone in there was dead. There was no sign of Sam.

"Sam!" Dean yelled, not getting an answer. "Sammy!"

Addie woke up suddenly. She was not where she was supposed to be. Thinking a quick spell that changed her appearance, Her eyes became chocolate brown, as did her hair. She got up and looked around. One glance was enough to make her know she wasn't staying here any longer than she had to. First thing she needed to do was figure out where she was, and she needed to contact her sisters. That would probably be easiest. She sat down and started to concentrate. Finally she felt herself leave her body and land in Halliwell Manor. She'd been home alone last night, but she didn't know where she was. The last thing she remembered was hearing a noise outside the manor. She had gone to investigate in case it was someone who needed help. Everything had gone black and she woke up here, where ever that was. She had her astral self walk through the house. No one was home, she returned to her body, to see a black man standing in front of her.

"Who are you?" He asked abruptly.

"Adelade Halliwell, you?" She said.

"Jake Talley," he said, "what were you doing?"

"Trying to contact my sisters, they worry about me." She said, not mentioning that the Halliwell's weren't her actual family, but over the past year she had begun to think of them as such.

"How were you gonna do that?" He asked.

"I have my ways," she said. He nodded slowly, suddenly a scream pierced the air. She turned in the way it was coming from and started to run that way. 'I need to get out of here, how can I do that?' She thought to herself. She was so focused on getting to the person screaming that she ran into someone. "Sorry," she said, looking up. Shocked to see someone she'd been dreaming about.

"Are you okay?" He asked her, reaching out to help her up. She refused his hand, standing up on her own.

"I'm fine," she said. "I'm Adelade, who are you?"

"I'm Sam, this is Ava, and this is Andy," the tall man said.

"I'm Lily," a blonde woman said.

"What are we doing here?" Ava asked.

"I don't know," Sam said. Addie groaned.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm out of here." She said, turning around to leave.

"I don't think you can," Sam said. "He wants us here."

"Who wants us here?" Addie asked him with a challenge.

"The yellow-eyed demon." He said, Addie nodded.

"I'll take my chances, thanks. I'm a long way from the only home I can remember, and even though there's a big chunk of my life gone, I need to get there before my sisters start worrying about me." She snapped.

"And how do you plan on getting there?" Sam asked, just as snappily.

"I have two feet, I can walk." She said. Jake snorted and she glared at him. "What?"

"Just the thought of a little thing like you trying to survive whatever's out there by yourself, that's all." He said.

"I'm not all I appear to be."Addie said, "don't underestimate me." She turned around and started to walk away. She felt weird at walking away, but knew she was needed back home, the demons were planning something, and she and the Charmed ones were right on the front line. She had to get there. She pulled out her phone, no signal. She growled, a door opened to the left of her, distracting her.

'Scary movie 101' she thought, 'don't go into the empty room by yourself.' She saw a ghost in the window and she shrugged. Walking into the building she looked around. Nothing she shrugged and went to leave when she spotted her ghost. It got a ferocious face and sharp nails and jumped for her, without a thought, she summoned an iron poker that was behind the ghost. It flew into her hand without much effort, through the ghost and dissipating it. Sam came running in and she looked at him with a challenge in her eyes. "I said I can take care of myself." He nodded and she pushed past him. "That Acheri might come back, do you have any salt anywhere?" Sam looked at her dumbfounded but she ignored him and the strange jolt she felt in her stomach. "I suggest picking a room and lining every available opening with salt, take this, it may help you, but I'm out of here."

"We could use your help," Sam said. She looked at him, feeling really sorry that she couldn't stay.

"I'm sorry, Sammy," she said, "but I'm on the front line of this war at another place, I'm not a pawn of the yellow eyed demon, or a puppet. Try not to kill each other." She turned away and left, at a dead run in the direction of San Francisco. She stopped once she left the town's limits and looked at the sky. "LEO!" She waited for a few moments before yelling out again, "LEO, I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY A DEMON! GET YOU WHITELIGHTER BUTT DOWN HERE AND TAKE ME HOME, PLEASE!" The other people who she was leaving behind looked on in amazement.

"She's nuts," Ava said. "Why is she screaming at the sky and what's a Whitelighter?"

"I don't know," Sam said, "she knows too much about demons and repelling them though, she might be a hunter."

"Like you?" Andy asked.

"Yeah," Sam answered.

"Then why won't she stay?" Ava asked, "you aren't going anywhere."

"Maybe she was mid hunt," Sam said. The girl stopped looking up at the sky and disappeared into the trees. He led them into a building and prepared them for the night.

Addie tripped over something unusual, she investigated and saw they were crystals. She smiled, this could come in handy. She made her way back to the town, because it was getting dark, she could find a place for her to place the crystals around her for protection and astral project her way out of this place. She looked up and saw Ava looking at her with a calculating gaze. She winked at her not wanting to seem worried. She went into a building. It had a floor that was solid and she breathed in relief. She on the floor and mentally pushed the crystals into a perfect circle around her. She then centered herself and felt herself rise off the floor and zoom home. Piper was wandering around the house, looking for her.

"Piper," she said, making the witch jump.

"Addie," there was relief evident in her voice. "Where are you?"

"A ghost town somewhere." She said, "I tried calling Leo, where is he?"

"France, I think." Piper said.

"That's wonderful," Addie groaned. "Is Paige home yet?"

"Just walked in the door to find an Astral Projected Addie," Paige said. "Need me to come get you?"

"You'll have to scry for me first." Addie said. "I have no idea where I am."

"On it sister. We'll have you home in no time." Paige said. Addie pulled her Astral self in to see the demon trying to get in her circle, looking actually confused when it couldn't. Addie smiled, since she was going to be here for a moment, she decided to trap the demon. She pushed the crystals into a circle around it. The demon shrieked, bringing Sam and Jake, Addie was glaring at it, chanting the exorcism rite that Piper had made her memorize but she'd somehow already known it. Sam stopped short when he heard her flawless Latin. After the Demon exploded, he looked at her.

"Where did you learn that?" He asked, she shrugged.

"It seems like I've always known it." She said. He looked at her strangely. He was about ready to argue it when she heard a familliar sound, "now if you gentlemen will excuse me, my ride is here." She tried to walk away, but Jake reached out and grabbed her arm.

"You aren't going anywhere." He said to her.

"Try and stop me." She snarled, before she heard Paige call out for her. She glared at the black man and sent him flying backward.

"You have telekinesis?" Sam asked her.

"Among other things," she said, before calling out. "Coming, Paige!" She then looked at Sam and felt that weird twist in her stomach, "Take care of yourself, Sammy." She was then out the door running into her sister's arms. A male voice caught her attention.

"Sam!" He said. Sam ran out of the house.

"Dean!" He yelled, walking to his brother, She saw Jake at the same time Dean did and they both yelled out to him at the same time.

"SAM LOOK OUT!" They yelled. She and Paige combined their strength and pushed out to fling the man away from Sam, but they were too late, he'd already stabbed Sam through the back and severed his spine and she knew he was fatally wounded. Tears started flowing down her cheeks as Paige held her close.

"It's okay, Addie it's gonna be okay" Paige said, "there's nothing we can do to help him now." She nodded and Paige walked over to them, holding the girl who'd become like a sister to her over the past year. "I am so sorry." Dean looked up at her coldly while Addie sobbed uncontrollably into Paige's shoulder.

"I think you broke your sister," Dean said, nodding towards Addie. Paige glared at him.

"I think that black guy broke her." Paige said, "I'm gonna get her outta here before he comes back." Dean shrugged and went back to holding his dying brother. Addie shrugged out of Paige's arms and walked over to Sam and kissed the top of his head. Dean looked at her incredulously.

"I'm sorry," she murmured. "I'm sorry I didn't send him far enough away the first time." Dean looked at her uncomprehendingly. "I wish I could say how sorry I am, but I don't know the words." She started sobbing all over again and Paige gently pulled her away.

"Come on," Paige said, trying to pull her away. "Addie, move!" Addie nodded and followed Paige. When they were far enough away, Paige looked at her and said. "I'm gonna orb us home now, then I'll get you in a bubble bath and you can cry all you want, okay?" Addie nodded, tears still flowing freely down her face. Paige pulled her close and hugged her, triggering the orb.

Addie closed her eyes against the feeling of being pulled apart by her atoms. They landed in the bathroom she shared with Paige. Paige sat her down on the toilet and told her to stay put. Addie nodded and looked down at her hands. Over the past year she had used her powers to save so many innocents, why couldn't she save Sam? The tears flowed hot and freely down her face to land in her lap, she frowned. Why did this man's death matter so much to her. This Sam, who had twisted something inside her, who seemed so familiar, like she knew every inch of him, but at the same time was a perfect stranger. Who was he to stir these feelings in her?

Paige came upstairs with a potion for Addie's bath. It was a relaxing potion mixed with bubbles so Addie could relax and hopefully sleep. Her tears still ran unchecked and Paige was worried about her. She'd never seen Addie so distraught.

"Addie," She said softly, getting her attention. "I'm going to run your bath, get undressed." Addie nodded and started stripping while Paige ran her bath and added the bath potion for her. Addie climbed in and sighed at the warm water that relaxed her. "I'll get your pajamas," Paige said, leaving. Addie tipped her head back and closed her eyes, she was exhausted and it had been a long day. Paige came in with Addie's most comfortable plaid pajamas. "Do you want to snuggle?" Addie nodded and Paige smiled. When the water cooled, Addie got out and washed her hair. She felt relaxed and was glad Paige was there for her, she was confused as to her reaction to Sam's death. Just thinking about him made her breath hitch in her throat. Addie went into her room where Paige was waiting for her, wearing matching plaid pajamas and her hair braided.

"Will you braid my hair?" She asked Paige. Paige nodded and Addie sat in front of her while she worked out the knots and put her hair up in a french braid.

Dean was sitting in the room with Sammy's corpse. He didn't know what to do without the siblings he'd had around him for so long. Loathing and fear crept through his body.

"First Addie, then Dad, now you," Dean said, tears falling from his eyes. "I'm losing everybody. What am I supposed to do?" He was completely alone. He had asked Zoe to go with Bobby back to his place. She hadn't wanted to, but he insisted. She kissed him on the cheek and went with Bobby. The thrill he felt at her lips was short lived. He looked at his brother's body and Something clicked. He couldn't let Sam stay dead.

He got in the Impala and sped to the nearest crossroads. Assembling the necessary items he buried the summoning in the center of the roads and waited

"Dean Winchester," A demon said behind him. He turned around and the demon smiled at him, her eyes flashing red. "You want to bring your brother back from the dead in exchange for your own soul."

"Yeah," Dean said, "For the normal deal, ten years."

"No," the demon said, smiling cunningly.

"Five years," Dean said, swallowing.

"No," the demon said, again.

"Then what?" Dean asked.

"Three days," the demons said, smiling cunningly. Dean swallowed and the demon stared at him, "so?" Dean swallowed again and kissed the demon, making the deal. He had three days to kill the yellow-eyed demon.

Sam sat up gasping for air, he was sure he was dead after being stabbed by Jake in the way he had been, but now his wounds were mostly healed. He didn't know what was going on, except Dean did something. Dean ran into the room, when he saw Sammy up, relief ran over his face.

"Dean, what did you do?" Sam asked.

"I couldn't leave you dead, Sammy, do you know what that would do to me, and Addie?" Dean said. Sam winced at the mention of Adora, he felt bad because he'd been slightly attracted to Adelade. She had reminded him of his Dora, but he felt like he had been unfaithful.

"I'm going to lose you, Dean." Sam said softly. "And I might never find Adora. What will I do when it's just me?" Dean looked at him with sadness.

"Please don't be mad at me, Sam. I have to take care of you," Dean said. Sam took a deep breath, before responding.

"How long?" he asked.

"Three days," Dean answered. Sam looked surprised.

"Then we better find this demon," He said. Two days later, they were on the right track. None of them told Zoe that he was going to die, but Bobby knew. They closed in on where they knew the demon would be and weren't surprised to see Jake, Dean briefly wondered if Jake had killed the sisters, and pain crossed his heart at the thought, but he needed to focus. The four of them stepped from behind tombstones, aiming their guns at him.

"Step away from the vault Jake," Sam said.

"You couldn't kill me then, although I'm pretty sure I killed you." Jake sneered at him. "You're pretty little friend was a fighter though, Adelade she fought hard, better than you, but she still lost." He was lying but Sam didn't know that, the thought of anyone hurting her made him angry.

"Did you kill her?" Sam asked, his voice low. Jake raised his eyebrow at him.

"Among other things. She was a screamer," Jake lied convincingly. Zoe shot a look at Sam and saw the look of pain on his face and sighed, and Jake continued. "She was too busy crying over you to defend herself, and her sister was no good either." Dean felt anger wash over him. It's true he'd been rude to the two girls, one who had been sobbing over Sam's death, but he hadn't wanted them to die. Jake smirked, "Paige and Adelade Halliwell are dead, and you didn't even try to stop me." Bobby felt a rush of pain then confusion.

"Sorry boy, did you say Halliwell?" He asked, not wanting to believe what he was saying. Jake looked at Bobby and nodded. Bobby shook his head, if the Power of Three was broken this world was doomed. "There is no Adelade Halliwell. All of the Halliwell's names begin with P." Jake looked at him in disbelief.

"I don't care what her last name is, she's dead." Jake said, "just like this little sweetheart is about to be." Zoe gasped as the gun started turning towards her head. "Drop your guns, or she dies. Dean's gun was out of his hand in an instant, as was Bobbys. Jake turned a challenging look to Sam, who bent over, appearing to put his down too. Jake then turned back to the vault and put the Colt into the open spot, the vault came open, revealing a deep pit and demons began shooting out of it. Dean and Bobby both dove for Zoe, Bobby pulled the gun out of her hand and Dean pulled her close to him. Gunshot could suddenly be heard as Sam filled Jake with lead. There was a ferocity in Sam's eyes that Dean had never seen before, unless he was protecting someone. "Why?" Jake asked.

"For her," Sam snarled, shooting him three more times. Dean let go of Zoe and grabbed the Colt out of the lock and check to see if it still had bullets. There was one left and Dean sighed in relief. Bobby and Zoe started to push the doors closed, fighting against the endless stream coming from the pit. The yellow eyed demon showed up and started flinging Dean around, taunting him for his choice to save Sam. Sam was forced to watch, while being pinned up against a tree.

"Just a few more minutes, Dean." The demon said, "then your bill becomes due." Dean struggled and the demon whispered.

"Your little Addie is still alive," it said. "But she has no memory of you. It wouldn't matter what you do, she will never know who you or Sammy-boy are anyhow." The demon pointed the Colt at Dean, and was about to pull the trigger, when John Winchester appeared and pulled the demon out of the body it had been inhabiting allowing Dean time to grab the Colt. The demon threw John and repossessed the body it had been inhabiting and Dean shot it. The demon looked blankly at Dean, who exhaled in relief, just as Zoe and Bobby closed the doors. He looked at Sam and he knew his time was up.

"Find her," he said, as everything went black.
