Lily noticed Dean glancing at his watch several times.
"You're worried about Sam and Ellen," she said. It wasn't a question.
"They've been gone a while now."
"Ellen has been tryin' to get out there to look for Jo since we got separated."
Dean got up and began to walk around. The situation reminded Lily of when they were stuck in the werewolf's basement for five days. Only, there were a lot more people here now. Tension was high.
There was a knock at the door. Dean checked through the peephole, moved the makeshift barricade, and let in Ellen. She was alone.
"Where's Sam?" Dean asked.
Ellen looked at Dean and shook her head before sitting down. Dean grabbed a shotgun and headed for the door, but he turned and looked back at the people in the room. She knew what he was thinking. These people were depending on him. Sam knew how to fight. These people didn't. He walked back to where Ellen was sitting.
"Okay, we need to get a plan together. Tell me everything."
Lily sat next to Ellen and she filled them in on what happened to her and Sam. They had found the demons' base camp, a house across town. As they were making their way closer, Ellen was grabbed from behind. Sam fought and told Ellen to run, which she did when Sam was knocked down.
The weirdest part of the whole thing was that Ellen came face-to-face with Jo. Jo's eyes were black, but she had called Ellen a "black-eyed bitch."
Dean finally asked Ellen about the omens that had brought Rufus into town in the first place. After talking with the pastor and Austin, Dean pulled a Bible from a bookshelf and read a passage aloud. It was a sign of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Dean remembered seeing a red mustang in town.
War.
"You said Jo called you a black-eyed bitch," Dean said. "They think we're demons, we think they're demons. What if there are no demons at all and we're all just killing each other?"
Not long after, there was a loud banging on the door. One of the men that had been in the room, Roger, yelled to be let in. He was breathing heavily, as if he had been running. He told everyone that he ran into some demons and they said they were going to kill them all. Dean tried to calm him down and find out where Roger saw these demons, since he now believed that there actually were no demons.
Austin was doubtful, trusting Roger over Dean. He wanted to get out. While he and Dean were arguing, Roger twisted the ring on his finger. Lily watched as Roger backed away from the three hunters.
"Look at their eyes!" Roger yelled. "They're demons!"
Lily saw the fear in the people's faces, and Dean immediately reacted as the pastor raised a gun at them.
"Move!" Dean shouted, pushing Ellen and Lily out the door. They ran until they found a place to catch their breath.
"We have to get to Rufus and Jo." Dean said. "Roger is War."
Ellen pointed in the distance. "The smoke over there... it's from the chimney. That's the base."
"Okay," Dean said, "you two stay close."
Ellen stopped Dean before they got too close to the house. "Hang on. Rufus is gonna have that place booby-trapped. Don't open anything or step anywhere without checking first."
They made their way up the porch and Lily took extra cautious steps. She noticed a window, just slightly opened, and grabbed Dean's hand. When he looked back, she pointed to it and he nodded. He looked around until he found a broom stick. He put Lily and Ellen behind him and, after making sure the room was empty inside, used the stick to open the window from a distance. It took some work, but he eventually got it open, and the explosion rocked the house.
When Rufus came to check it out Dean grabbed him, trying to explain what was going on. Ellen and Lily did the same with Jo. Eventually, everyone was on the same page. Dean went upstairs and let Sam loose, but the people from the church were already at the house, armed and ready to kill. Some of the people inside the house started firing, and the ones outside fired back. Rufus and Lily went around telling people to stop shooting, while the guys went after War.
A few minutes later, everything was calm. An extremely eerie calm. When Sam and Dean made it back to the house, the crowd was gone. Lily wasn't sure to where. They had just dispersed.
After making sure that everyone was okay, Sam and Dean left the house.
"Hang on," Lily called after them. She ran down the porch steps until she was standing in front of them.
"I'm coming with you."
Dean gave her a disapproving look. "Are we gonna have this fight again?"
Lily looked confused. "After our talk, I figured..."
"Nothing's changed. No, you know what, things have changed. They're worse. You're not coming. Stick with Ellen and Jo."
Lily didn't know what to say. She just stood there and watched as Dean turned and walked away. She glanced at Sam, who gave her an apologetic look before following his brother.
