Chapter 4

Addy glanced at the townspeople who Ellen were reassuring as she talked to Dean.

"I have to go get Sam," Dean argued with her.

"With what?" she countered," An oh so carefully thought out plan that you have running through that shoot first ask questions later head of yours. If you go out there right now, Dean, you will die and then no one's going to be able to get anyone."

He sighed in frustration," I can't just leave him with a bunch of demons."

"I'm not saying you have to but look at them, Dean," she said, gesturing to the townspeople," You're the leader here. They're scared and emotional and counting on you to get them out of here."

"You're right," he admitted.

"I know I am," she replied and he smirked," Now let's do the thinking thing that you hate so much."

She called Ellen over.

"You said a demon was in Joe," Addy said," What was it like?"

"It called me a black-eyed bitch," she said and Dean and Addy exchanged a confused look," What kind of demons are these? Holy water and salt roll right off. My daughter may be an idiot, but she's not stupid. She wears an anti-possession charm. It's all kind of weird, right?"

"No demon is able to get passed those things," Addy said, thinking and her eyes widened in realization," Ellen why was my Dad here in the first place?"

"He said something about water. That's all I know," she answered.

"The river. Ran polluted all of a sudden. Last Wednesday. And the demon thing started up the next day," Austin answered, joining the conversation.

"Austin is there anything else you can think of?"Addy prompted.

"Yeah, but it's kind of random," he said.

"Random is good," Dean said.

"Shooting star. Real big. Same night. Wednesday," he explained.

The three hunters exchanged a look.

"You think that has something to do with it?" Austin asked as Addy went over to a bookshelf and grabbed a Bible, flipping through it on a table.

"Yeah, I do," she said as Austin came to stand next to her and Dean frowned at their close proximity even though she didn't seem to notice.

"So, uh, you think that all this comes from outer space?"

"This isn't X-Files, pal," Dean said and Addy shot him an annoyed look as she found what she was looking for.

"And there fell a great star from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell upon the river, and the name of the star was Wormwood. And many men died," she read out loud, looking between everyone in alarm," These omens are a part of the four horsemen prophecy."

"And which one rides the red horse?" Dean asked.

Addy frowned," War."

"That cherry Mustang parked on Main," Dean said.

"A car," she said in disbelief," I guess that makes sense, but who's the horsemen who's messing with our heads?"

"Turning us on each other," Ellen added.

"You said Jo called you a black-eyed bitch. 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?" Dean asked and Addy clenched her jaw.

"So now you're saying that there are no demons and war is a guy," Austin said in disbelief.

"Look you've seen enough to believe it already," she explained, the townspeople looking to her," There are no demons in this town. Just one guy hell bent on creating chaos because that's what he does."

"Come on, Addy," Austin said," You're smarter than that."

"Oh don't talk like you know her," Dean said, squaring off with him and Addy rolled her eyes.

"Watch yourself pal," Austin warned.

"Knock it off the both of you," she said, coming between them and putting her hands on their chest to keep them apart," This is exactly what War wants. He wants us to be at each other's throats. Now both of you pull your heads out of your asses and get it together."

Suddenly, the door to the basement burst open and in walked one of the townspeople," I saw them, the demons. They know we're trying to leave. They said they're gonna pick us off one by one."

"No, that can't be right," Addy said, walking towards him," When did you even leave? "

"I thought someone should go out and see what's going on!" he replied, his breathing heavy as if he'd been running.

"Where did you see the demons and what did they say exactly?" Dean asked.

"We just sit here, we're going to be dead," Austin said, rallying everyone.

"No," Dean said loudly," We're not!"

"No, man, we got people to protect. All right, the able-bodied go hunt some demons," Austin said, picking up shot guns and handing them around.

"No," Addy said to him," One of them is father. You can't hunt him."

"Sorry, Addy," Austin said, pushing her out of the way.

She looked to Dean for help," Whoa whoa whoa. Slow your roll. This is not a demon thing."

The pregnant woman gasped as everyone turned to look at Dean and Ellen.

"Look at their eyes! They're demons!"

Addy stared at them, their eyes the same color," What the hell are you talking about? Their eyes are fine!"

Dean grabbed her and Ellen and began shoving them towards the door as shotguns were pointed at them. She felt a hand around her, pulling her back from him as they ran. Dean turned back for her.

"Go!" she screamed at them and Ellen pulled Dean as Austin shot at the door.

"Let me go!" Addy screamed," They're not demons!"

The man who'd started the chaos was the one holding her back and he looked down at her.

"Looks like I have no effect on you," he said with an evil smirk and then yelled," We have to lock this one up. She's delusional."

"What?" she asked, kicking at them as a group of men surrounded her, holding her back," Let me go! You're making a mistake! He's the horseman. He's tricking you all. I can help. I can-"

They threw her into a storage closet and shut the door.

"Austin let me out!" she screamed, kicking at the door as the commotion sounded outside," You're being tricked! There are no demons! You're killing innocent people."

There was silence after a while and she knew they were all gone.

She took a deep breath," Come on you can do this."

She focused on the door and suddenly it blew off its hinges on the other side of the room. She stared at it in shock.

"Not what I was going for but okay," she said to herself, running out of the room and grabbing a gun.

SUPERNATURAL

Addy runs through the streets towards the gun shots. She stops, seeing the Red Mustang. She walked towards it, staring at it.

"Like my ride?"

She turned to see War with a smug look on his face.

"You," she said, aiming her gun at him," You did all this."

"Sure but you started it," he said with a smirk.

"I didn't do anything," she said, narrowing her eyes.

"And her blood breaks Lucifer free," he recited and she took a deep shaky breath," None of this would have been possible without you sweet cheeks. You started a revolution or revelation as I should say."

"This isn't my fault," she said to herself more than him.

He took a step towards her and she took a step back, "Don't you wonder why my powers don't work on you? Why you came back from the dead?"

"No, actually I don't," she replied, cocking the gun.

"Liar," he said," It's because your role in this isn't done yet, Adriana Turner."

"We'll see about that," she said and shot him square in the chest, making a hole in his shirt and nothing more.

"Tickles," he said and charged at her. He shot at him and again it did no damage. He wrestled the gun away from her and she kicked at him, knocking him down. He grabbed her and twisted her arm behind her back, pushing her against the car with the weight of his body. She cried out as he twisted her arm further.

"Lucifer says we can't hurt you," he said, his breath on her neck as he roughly tugged her head back," Doesn't mean we can't have a little fun."

"Let her go!"

They both turned to see Dean and Sam. The distraction was just enough for her to escape and grab him by the tie, choking him. Sam grabbed his hand and she watched as he chopped off his fingers, a clattered heard as his ring fell to the cement.

Addy held him against the car as he hissed in pain.

"No one says I can't hurt you. Means we can have a little fun," she said coldly and he disappeared along with his car. She looked to Dean.

"You okay?" he asked.

She nodded, wiping War's blood from her face," Where's my Dad and Jo?"

"Kitty."

She turned to see her father, Jo, and Ellen standing at the end of the road. She ran to him and into his waiting arms as he hugged her tightly.

"You're covered in blood," he said in alarm, inspecting her.

"It's fine, Dad," she said," Not mine."

He chuckled," That's my girl."

She turned to Jo and a huge smile spread on her face.

"Hey Jo," she said.

"Hey Ads," she replied, returning the smile.

The two young women embraced in a tight hug.

"I missed you," she said into her hair.

"You too shorty," Addy replied and she laughed.

"Just like old time huh Rufus," Ellen commented, patting both girls on the back.

"Something like it," he said and although it sounded genuine Addy heard the dark meaning behind it.

SUPERNATURAL

Addy sat opposite Sam and next to Dean in the park outside of town. After promising to keep in touch with both her father and the Harvelles, they had reluctantly parted ways.

Dean held up War's ring," So, pit stop at Mount Doom?"

Even though they were no longer together, Addy could see the silent brooding of a deep conversation on Sam," Dean-"

"Sam, let's not," Dean said sensing it too.

"No, listen. This is important. I know you don't trust me," he said and Dean looked away, affirming the truth," Just, now I realize something. I don't trust me either."

Dean and Addy stared at him in shock after his confession.

"From the minute I saw that blood, only thought in my head...and I tell myself it's for the right reasons, my intentions are good, and it, it feels true, you know? But I think, underneath...I just miss the feeling. I know how messed up that sounds, which means I know how messed up I am. Thing is, the problem's not the demon blood, not really. I mean, I, what I did, I can't blame the blood or Ruby or...anything. The problem's me. How far I'll go. There's something in me that...scares the hell out of me, Dean. In the last couple of days, I caught another glimpse..." he paused, unable to go on.

"So what are you saying?" Dean asked.

"I'm in no shape to be hunting. I need to step back, 'cause I'm dangerous. Maybe it's best we just...go our separate ways."

Addy looked between the two brothers with wide eyes.

"Well, I think you're right," Dean said after a while and her jaw dropped unable to say anything.

"I was expecting a fight," Sam said sadly, glancing at her.

"The truth is I spend more time worrying about you than about doing the job right. And I just, I can't afford that, you know? Not now."

Sam nodded in understanding, "I'm sorry, Dean."

"I know you are, Sam," Dean said thoughtfully.

He got up from the table and began walking away.

"Sam," Addy called after him. She walked after him and took something from her pocket. She held it out to him in her palm and he saw it was the ring he'd given her to symbolize the love he felt and still did feel for her even now.

"Keep it," he said, folding her palm over it and gently holding her hand. She didn't flinch away from him like he expected as he kept her hand in his. He bent down to her height and she closed her eyes as he pressed a light kiss to her cheek. She opened her eyes when he pulled away and struggled for words.

"I'm probably an idiot for saying this, but I need you to stay with Dean," he said quietly and she frowned," Yeah, I know I'm asking you to stay with a guy who obviously loves you as much as I do, but he's also the only one I trust to keep you safe. So please. Promise me you'll do this for me. Just this one thing."

She nodded slowly and swallowed heavily," I promise."

He nodded, giving her one final smile," I love you."

"I know," she said with a deep breath," And I take it back. All of it. I don't hate you. I could never hate you. I'm angry with you and with myself and just at the world in general and it was logical to put it all on you and…that was wrong."

"Do you forgive me?" he whispered.

She looked down, struggling for words.

"It's okay," he said quickly as she looked back at him," I get it. You need some time."

She nodded, "I do, Sam, but just know that I'm here for you. No matter what goes on between us you're my friend."

He looked away," But you and me are done."

She looked away.

"See you around, Addy."

She gave him a small smile," See you around, Sasquatch."

She turned her back to him and walked towards Dean. A moment later she heard a car leave as she sat back down next to Dean.

"He asked me to stay with you," she said quietly," He said you could keep me safe."

"And I will," he replied sincerely.

She smirked," Don't really need anyone taking care of me, Dean."

"I know," he said.

"So what do you want to do now?" she asked with a shrug.

Dean frowned,"No clue."

"I have one," she said.

"What?" he asked, narrowing his eyes and she got up, leaning towards him.

"We hunt," she said with a smirk

"I second that," he said and she jingled his keys that she'd taken from him without knowing.

"I'm driving," she said with a smile.

"Oh hell no," he said, getting up quickly.

"Just this once?" she asked with a smile.

He sighed and rolled his eyes," Fine."

She grinned and went for the driver's seat, getting in and revving the engine. Dean slid in beside her.

"Easy with my baby," he warned and she smiled.

"Don't be such a wuss," she said and sped off.

"Where we going?" he asked.

"Wherever the hunt takes us," she answered.
