Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural! I only own this idea and my two OC's!

"Sweety, close your eyes and no matter what you hear, don't open them until I tell you to," said Eleanor, earning a nod from Lily before she hid her face in the crook of Eleanor's neck.

The moment they exited the motel room, all hell broke loose. Sam immediately had to defend himself against a demon that attacked him, throwing him against the floor before trying to stab him which he luckily managed to dodge.

Not too far away from them, Castiel was fighting off demons as well, using an angel blade as well as his powers. Dean and Eleanor managed to get away from the demons and dodge them as much as possible. Though nobody seemed to actually care about Eleanor, Lily and Dean. Instead, they were focused on Sam and Castiel and it wasn't until Sam was knocked out cold that the three demons he had been fighting with turned their heads towards Dean.

"Get to the car!" exclaimed Dean as he noticed them walking towards him.

Something was wrong. The demons were far too calm for Eleanor's liking. They didn't run and they didn't seem to mind getting killed and being in the presence of an angel. She knew why the moment one of the demons used an angel vanishing spell on Castiel, causing him to disappear with a bright light.

The two demons that had survived attacking the angel also turned their head towards Dean and started to slowly walk towards him.

"Come on! What are you waiting for!" called Dean to the demons, obviously sensing the same things as Eleanor who by now was at the car.

She put Lily down on the ground and held her hand as well as holding her behind her legs and in front of the car. In her other hand she held a silver knife. Something that she knew wouldn't kill a demon and it only made her fear increase. She watched with wide eyes as five demons approached Dean, the bags he was holding now being dropped to the ground. It was a short fight between them and Dean only managed to take out one of the demons before he too lay unconscious on the asphalt.

For a short moment, it confused her as to why they didn't kill the Winchester's. But the moment they started to slowly approach her and Lily, her confused thoughts were set aside as she started to panic. She had nothing to kill the demons with. Dean had an angel blade and Sam had the demon knife. She could run up to one of them and grab a weapon but that would be difficult with Lily in tow. Not to mention the fact that those demons would most likely launch at her if she tried to run past them.

Her other option was to ride away with Dean's car. Though she didn't have the keys nor did she know how to hijack a car in under one minute.

Eleanor's heart sank when she felt Lily take a grip on her jeans, hiding her face against her mother's leg. She most likely didn't understand what the people with black eyes were but she did understand that they were bad people. Not to mention that she understood her mother's fear and panic yet at the same time something inside of Lily told her that her mother would protect her no matter what. Though, Eleanor had no way of doing so.

There was no hope. There was nothing she could do.

Instead, tears filled up her eyes when one sentence echoed through her mind over and over again:

I can't protect my own child.

When the demons came close enough, she carefully pushed Lily against the car before making a run at them. Even though the knife wasn't going to do much, she was still going to fight. She launched at the first demon, stabbing it and only causing it to laugh before it threw her away from them.

They hadn't been walking towards her. They had been walking towards Lily.

Her world spun as she sat up again, hearing the screams of Lily as the demons grabbed her.

"Mommy!"

Eleanor noticed she had been thrown towards Dean's limp body and she didn't hesitate to grab the angel blade before charging at the demons again. Two demons who held Lily vanished as Eleanor approached them, taking Lily with them, and though it caused Eleanor's world to fall apart, she focused on the task of killing the two remaining demons. They pushed her back with their powers, however, and she was once again knocked down to the floor. She grunted once she sat up again and noticed that the other two demons were gone as well.

With wide eyes, Eleanor stayed sat on the asphalt ground. Tears fell down her face and her entire body trembled as she stared at the place where Lily had last been standing.

"No…" she whimpered. "Please, no… this is not what I wanted…"

Sam grunted as he regain consciousness a few meters behind her. He paused to look at his surroundings before running over to Eleanor seeing as she was the only conscious one.

"Elle!" he said as he crouched down beside her.

With a monotone expression, she looked up at him and shook her head. She noticed a small drop of blood making its way down Sam's cheek from a cut that one of the demons had given him. Though her mind stayed blank. She was in complete shock and as Sam touched her shoulder lightly, feeling her trembling, he knew what had happened and quickly embraced her, slowly prying the knife out of her hand as he watched Dean regain consciousness behind Eleanor.

The face Dean pulled when he took in his surroundings mirrored the expression that Eleanor had had.

Complete and utter fear.

"Babe…" said Dean quietly after Eleanor had pulled out of Sam's embrace and crawled away from them and fallen down on the ground in sobs.

"I'm her mother!" she exclaimed, turning her head to the two brothers. "I'm supposed to protect her!"

Dean quickly made his way over to her and pulled her to his chest, not caring about her resistance. He knew that Eleanor could win over him in a fight and if she really had wanted to get away from him, he would've been on the ground by now while she was walking away from him. Instead, she slumped against his chest, grabbing his jacket as her entire body shook from the sobs.

Sam watched as Dean placed his face against her hair, his shoulders shaking slightly as well before he regained his posture and started shushing Eleanor, swaying her back and forth as he rubbed her arm soothingly. This hadn't been Sam and Dean's plan. Their plan had been to try and talk Eleanor back into hunting. They wouldn't force her nor would they say it directly to her face, but they had hoped that them meeting up with her again would cause her to rethink her previous decision.

Though that plan had shattered the moment they had laid eyes on Lily. And now, Lily had been kidnapped by demons. Demons who most likely worked for Crowley, the king of hell and the one person that wanted to see Dean and Sam hurt. Taking Lily would be a logical move for him since it was the worst thing he could do to them at the moment.

"We need to go," said Sam after a while when he heard that Eleanor's sobs had quietened down. "The police will be here any minute and we can't stay here with the dead bodies."

"Sammy's right, Elle. We should go," said Dean as Eleanor slowly sat up, nodding her head. Dean quickly took a hold of Eleanor's face, his hands holding her face steadily and forcing her to look up at him. "I promise on my life that I'll get her back to us."

Eleanor held back a sob as she nodded her head.

"Let's go," she said in a whisper before Dean helped her get to the car.

Sam held the door open for Eleanor while Dean helped her to sit down, not letting go of her arm until she was securely in the car. As Sam closed the door, Dean was about to walk past Sam but he stopped him by grabbing his arm.

"Dean, you know it's not our fault that the demons found Elle and Lily, right?" said Sam, causing his brother to look at him. "They had already found them. Elle said so herself."

"Yes. They had. But it's our fault that Crowley was after them to begin with," said Dean, shrugging out of his grasp before walking around the car and sit down in the driver's seat.

With a sigh, Sam entered the car as well, knowing that what Dean was saying was the truth. The fact that the demons found them should not weigh their hearts down, though the fact that it was their doing that Crowley was looking for a way to hurt them should. As he glanced back at Eleanor, he found her staring out through the window with her head resting against it. They way her eyes were glazed over with complete panic and fear made Sam's heart sink and something inside of him snap. He would get Crowley if it so meant that they would have to blow up an entire town.

I'm thinking this story takes place in season 6... So, it might explain some odd things with Castiel. :P

Thanks for reading!
