Chapter Four:
Christina woke up suddenly feeling herself drained of energy. She could hear soft clicking noises coming from near the shed's window. A flicker of light solved one of the questions as it was from a fire that someone had made but it made more as to who it was that was making it. She looked around and found a chair that she managed to crawl to and helped her to her feet. She was breathing heavily as she struggled to keep her feet from underneath her. She lost her footing and fell hard knocking the chair to the ground.
"Did you hear that?" Her heart started to beat faster as she heard Dean's voice. She wrapped her feet around the chair's legs and repeatedly began to bash it against the wall of the shed hoping Sam and Dean would break in and find the cause. "It's coming from the shed." Christina stopped and was starting to scream through the gag hoping that they would be hear that as well. She could hear commotion coming from the room outside the room Christina was in and she began to scream as loudly as she could.
The door opened and Christina blocked her face from the flashlights that Sam and Dean had. They rushed to their sister's side and removed the gags and binds around her wrists and ankles. Her face showed signs of being struck several times and as they helped her to her feet she coughed up blood from the kick she had received awhile ago.
"Who did this?" Dean asked as they set their sister back on the ground to cough some more. He motioned his head towards Sam to get the car closer to the shed so they could make a break for town. But all Dean could hear was Sam's grunts of getting knocked to the ground. Dean looked up to see Jeremy Walker tapping a wooden bat in his hands.
"Mind telling me why you two are here?" Jermey asked his voice full of anger. "And why you burned my three victim's bodies?" Dean was growling as Sam moved sluggishly to his side to only be kicked in the stomach hard. Dean jumped to his feet but was quickly captured by Jeremy who had grabbed Dean around the neck.
Christina stood up as fast as she could trying to tackle Jeremy knocked her back sending her crashing onto the ground her head smashing into the concrete. Dean tried to free himself from Jeremy's grip but he saw Jermey no longer had dark brown eyes but they were completely black and the smile that spread across his face sent chills down Dean's spine.
"I'm surprised that I got the Winchesters here under one roof. I'm sure I'll be in great standing with the Angel's when I get them to come pick you up." Dean could feel himself backing out from the lack of oxygen. Sam stood up as quietly as he could but Jeremy's eyes turned and he too locked his free hand around Sam's neck. "I know the Angel's asked for you two alive but I'm sure being dead would be good. Since you can always be brought back." He laughed and tossed both brothers into the wall. All three Winchesters lay unconscious on the cold cement floor of the shed when Jeremy turned around and closed the door behind him.
~Family Ties~
Dean woke up to screaming. High pitched and full of pain. The sun had already risen so he knew it was still in the early to mid morning hours. He turned to his left and saw his sister being slowly cut up and down her arms her face bore more bruises then when he and Sam and found her. Her arms were tied up above her head causing more strain and pain in them.
"Oh come now. I missed your screams." Jeremy said sliding the knife across her chest making her moan in pain. Dean tried to move himself but found himself trapped in the blinds that also bound Sam. None of them looked to be abused but Dean did see a large black and blue bruise on both his sister's abdomen and brother's. Dean felt anger pulsing through him as Jeremy turned and looked at him as he slowly slid the knife down Christina's cheek. "Looks to me your brother's awake." Jeremy said sauntering over to Dean and placing the tip of the knife under his chin.
Dean glared at Jeremy's cold black eyes as he just chuckled darkly. Dean tried to remove the gag that was tightly around his mouth. "You know I heard stories about your stint in Hell." Jeremy said his black eyes glinting with joy. "Tell him did you enjoy cutting into those people?" Dean's glare darkened as he tried to pull himself free form his restraints only accomplishing a cut on the bottom of his chin. Dean let out a growl of pain as he shook his head spreading his precious blood over the floor and over his bare chest.
"Leave him alone!" Christina screamed rattling her own restraints even though it caused her more pain. "Leave them both alone! You got me!"
Jeremy slowly turned and looked at Christina his dark soulless eyes getting darker like a shark ready to attack. Dean was dizzy to try and stop him but he saw that Sam was trying to get Jeremy's attention by tripping him to the ground with his long legs. Jeremy quickly stood up and rushed towards Sam digging the blade of his knife into Sam's shoulder which caused a muffled scream to spread through the tiny room. Dean was getting more and more pissed. Jeremy was hurting his siblings and Dean seemed powerless to help them. "Now now none of that, Sammy boy." Jeremy growled smacking Sam across his cheek and painfully pulling out the knife out of his arm. "You're beef is for Lucifer. And Dean's is for Micheal. I know I'll be punished for hurting your bodies but my prize is this little piece of flesh and blood." He sauntered over towards Christina who was trying to seem intimidating while in truth she was scared out of her mind.
"Please..." she began to beg her voice growing soft and hoarse. "Leave them alone." Tears were falling from her eyes as she continued to stare at Jeremy. Dean and Sam felt their hearts breaking at the sight of their sister begging for them. They will never forgive themselves at what she was doing for them. "Take me instead. Like you said I'm your real prize. If you stop hurting them then you can be saved from the punishments from Micheal and Lucifer."
Jeremy thought about it for a minute before giving Christina a sideways glance. "No I don't think so. I will feel rather honored to be punished by them." Jeremy moved quickly as he sliced deeper into Christina's chest causing a small thin line to appear. Christina's screams echoed off in the room as she tried to move to attack to stop the pain from spreading but it was already to late. Blood slowly drizzled down her chest staining her dark blue tank top. Dean and Sam fought harder against the restraints. They didn't like what they were seeing their sister suffer like that in front of them.
"Jeremy I'm home!" Amanda called from the top floor of the shed. Dean and Sam gave Christina a look to start to scream for help but Jeremy quickly gagged Christina even though he knew she was too weak and her voice was hoarse from the screaming.
"We'll continue this later." He said whispering just loud enough for the Winchesters to hear. "Maybe we'll have an audience with Amanda if she doesn't keep her nose where it belongs." Christina weakly moved towards him trying to stop him but Jeremy just slapped her across the face before leaving the room and shutting the door tight. The only light the Winchesters had was the window and nothing else.
