Anderson slowly walked towards Harper and Tera. Harper got into a loose fighting stance in case he attacked, but also tried to look a little casual; hopefully luring him into a false sense of security. He probably was already pretty calm, considering he was a monster and he would probably underestimate her and Tera.

Anderson's eyebrows rose when he saw the knife in Harper's hand, but he didn't stop walking. "You girls lost?" He asked in amusement.

"No…" Tera said slowly, "I'm pretty sure we're right where we need to be."

"Oh really?" Anderson said with a smile. "What makes you think that?"

"What are you doing down here?" Harper asked instead of answering.

"I work here," the doctor smugly replied.

"Which is convenient for you…" Harper drew out. She wanted to get him talking so she could make sure he was the monster they were after.

Anderson started to circle them and then said, "It is very convenient. To have your food in the same place you work, there's an endless supply, and no one is suspicious."

"So are all the coma patients because of you?" Harper asked in disgust.

Anderson laughed, "No, not all of them, but the majority are."

"Well, you picked the wrong victims," Harper said with a smirk.

"Oh?" Anderson asked, cocking his head to the side in disbelief. "I do think I picked them on purpose. What better way to get rid of hunters than to put them in a coma of sorts?"

"You still messed up," Harper said, turning so she could keep Anderson in front of her. "Alec woke up."

Anderson scowled, "I didn't count on that, you're right." His look changed from a scowl to a smile and Harper felt like he knew something that she didn't. "But I'm not too worried about it…"

"Really?" Harper asked.

"You really think I work alone?" Anderson said with a small smile. Shit. Yes, she really had thought he worked alone. Anderson threw his head back and laughed. "Silly girl. You really should have thought this out a little more."

He suddenly moved out of sight and Harper spun around to try and find him. This was bad; something else was out there and she'd left Alec alone. And now she'd lost one of the monsters.

She didn't have to look far though, because a second later he appeared out of the shadows again and ran at her. He hit her hard and she flew across the room and crashed into a wire rack full of supplies. She groaned at the impact, but then scrambled up to her hands and knees and looked for her knife.

Harper shot a quick glance over her shoulder and saw that Tera was fighting off the djinn. He got in a good hit across Tera's cheek and Harper's mouth immediately filled with blood. She tried to ignore that for now and kept looking for her knife. She couldn't help the small sound of pain a minute later and had to press her hand against her side.

"Yes!" Harper breathed out when she finally saw her knife. She quickly picked it up and ran over to Tera and Anderson.

Anderson pushed Tera back and pain exploded at the back of Harper's head when Tera hit the wall. Anderson easily pushed her down thanks to her distraction and he knelt down in front of her. He grabbed her jacket collar with one hand, smiled, and then started to bring his other hand up to her face.

Harper's eyes widened when his hand started to glow blue and she glanced up to see that his eyes were glowing too.

"Hunters are so much easier to deal with when they are stuck in a dream," Anderson said with a smile.

Harper tried to stop his other hand from moving closer to her, but he was a lot stronger than she was. Just over Anderson's shoulder, though, Harper could barely see Tera moving closer.

"Your dreams are so fun to create," Anderson continued. "I made Dean's world…it was a little sad actually. You should really let me do the same for you. Hunter's lives aren't very happy and I can make it better."

"No," Harper ground out. "You're done killing people." She suddenly tossed her knife up in the air and Tera caught it. Anderson released Harper and whirled around in surprise.

Tera smiled, "Adios you bastard." Then she plunged the knife into the djinn's heart. His mouth was slightly open in shock and he blinked once before he fell over, dead.

"'Adios bastard'? Really?" Harper asked.

Tera shrugged, "So it's not the best catch phrase, sue me."

Harper shook her head, and then held out her hand so Tera could help her up. She wrapped her arm across her side and grumbled, "Could you try and stop getting hit in every fight you're in?"

"Hey, it's not my fault I don't actually feel it," Tera said with a smile, but then she became a little more serious and asked, "You alright Cricket?"

Harper nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine…c'mon, we need to go back to the boys and find this other monster."

The nurse crouched down in front of him. She grabbed his collar and pulled him closer to her. Alec tried to break her grip, but it wasn't working and he really didn't want to go back to his little dream world.

She just smiled at him as she brought her other hand up and closer to his face. His eyes widened almost comically when her hand started to glow blue. He really shouldn't be surprised though, Dean had told him that the djinn would glow when it sent its victims into the dream world.

Alec caught her arm and managed to keep her at bay. She scowled when she couldn't just force her way past him, but she kept pushing. Alec suddenly brought his leg up and kneed her hard in the thigh and she actually fell over and released him.

He jumped to his feet and got in a fighting stance, ready for her next attack. She looked at him with hatred, but she didn't immediately attack him again.

"I told him to either leave the hunters alone or just kill them and I was right. You have been more trouble than you're worth," she snarled at him, but then she slowly started to smile. "But, your blood was worth it. I've never tasted anything like it."

Alec just scowled at her; normally he would make some witty comeback, but now he really needed to focus on fighting. He couldn't afford to lose this one.

"But whatever's in your blood is also what's ruined everything, isn't it?" She asked, but she didn't wait for him to answer. "Somehow, you woke yourself up and now you know too much."

She started to move towards him, but he made sure to keep his distance and instead tried to distract her. "Aren't you supposed to have a bunch of tattoos and work alone and whatever?"

She smiled again, "You hunters and your research…some of us do have tattoos, but not everyone. And Anderson started this operation, but I took over after I realized what an incompetent fool he was. He was the one to find Intern George; he teaches the little twerp while I cover up all of their mistakes. Not the best company, but it's such a sweet setup with all these delicious humans at my disposal."

Alec suddenly blurred to the nurse to catch her off guard and slammed into her. He rolled off of her so he wasn't in contact for very long, and then kicked her while she was down. He was about to kick her again, but she got to her feet before he could.

She charged at him, but she was still underestimating him and he quickly blurred away from her. The room was small though, and he didn't have anywhere else to go. She immediately caught up to him, slammed him against the wall and Alec's vision went out at the force of it.

She had her glowing, blue hand up by his face again, but this time he didn't have the strength to fight her off. This was going to be it for him and he knew it.

"Hey bitch!"

Alec was shocked to suddenly see Dean standing behind the nurse. Her eyes widened for just a second before Dean stabbed her and she collapsed against him. She slid down to the floor, leaving Dean and Alec alone in the room.

Dean was awake! And he'd just killed the freakin' monster!

"Dean?!" Alec asked in shock. "What the Hell? How are you awake? Where did you get the knife? Oh shit, c'mon you need to sit down…" Alec couldn't stop the rambling until he finally saw Dean sway and blink a few times.

Dean looked horrible; he had dark circles under his eyes and he was extremely pale. Alec assumed he looked about the same, but he didn't like Dean looking like this. He quickly led Dean over to the bed and sat him down before he could fall down.

"Thanks…" Dean said on a whisper. Alec handed him a cup of water and Dean took it gratefully. Alec was trying really hard not to ask any more questions, but if Dean didn't talk soon, he was going to start again.

Dean suddenly cleared his throat a little and grumbled, "I hate those freakin' tubes…"

Alec's eyes widened again and he asked, "How'd you get the tube out? How did you break out of the dream? Wha-"

"Whoa, Alec, slow down," Dean said with a small smile. "I just snapped out of it…I don't really know how. We were just sitting down and eating dinner with Mom and Dad and then suddenly I was choking. I pushed the call button thing and a nurse came in and took it out. I made her take out all the tubes before I came in here, but I don't know where she went…I think she went to page someone…but I'm not sure…" Dean said slowly.

"You and Sam were with your Mom and Dad?" Alec asked curiously. He couldn't help but feel kinda sad that it would just be Sam and Dean, but he didn't say anything.

But Dean knew what he was thinking; Dean always knew. "You were there too, kiddo."

Alec couldn't help his small smile and asked, "Really?"

Dean chuckled, "Yeah, really. You were about 10 and had never even stepped foot in Manticore. We were all just normal kids…" Dean looked down, lost in thought for a moment before he said, "Umm…anyway, I found my knife stashed in my boots. Heard something hit the wall and thought I'd check it out. Wait, how'd you wake up?"

Alec rubbed the back of his neck where his barcode was. He really didn't want to tell Dean that he killed himself on a hunch, but he didn't want to lie either. "Well…I could kinda hear what was going on in the real world. I thought I was going crazy, but then Harper talked to me in some kind of dream. I don't know man, it was weird…but I thought I was dreaming…"

"You killed yourself…" Dean finished quietly and Alec nodded back at him in surprise. "I did the same thing when I was caught last time. I didn't tell Sam that was how I woke up…"

"I didn't really want to tell you either…" Alec said with a small smile.

"I know," Dean said. They sat there in silence for a few minutes and then Dean scowled, "Wait, did you say Harper talked to you?"

Alec started to nod, but then he looked to the door when he heard someone running down the hall. Dean followed his gaze, and then Harper ran through the entrance. She was breathless and was holding her side, but her eyes were sharp and she instantly swept the room. Her eyes widened when she saw the dead nurse on the floor, but then they widened even more when she saw Dean sitting on the bed.

Dean started to smile when he saw her, but he jumped up in alarm when Tera appeared behind her. He didn't stay standing for long though. Alec jumped up and supported Dean's back with one hand and put his other hand against his chest. He barely saw Harper push Tera out of sight and then walked further into the room, closing the door behind her.

Alec switched his focus back to Dean, who had his eyes closed and was starting to lean heavily against him. Alec forced him back down onto the bed and Dean let out a small groan.

"Stupid freakin' djinns," Dean grumbled, bringing his hand up to rub against his temple. Harper slowly walked forward and crouched down in front of Dean and tilted her head a little to try and meet his eyes. She put her hand over his that was at his temple and then ran her hand back through his hair. Dean barely glanced up to meet Harper's gaze, "What is that bitch doing here?" Harper flinched a little at his low tone; he was pissed.

"Dean…" Harper started slowly. "It's complicated…"

"Wait," Alec interrupted, drawing Dean and Harper's attention, "She can tell you later…for now just don't hit the demon and leave it at that." Dean looked at him like he was insane, but Harper gave him a grateful look. "Did you find Anderson?"

"Yeah, he's dead," Harper replied.

"Good. Now we just have to find the last one," Alec said, getting to his feet and starting for the door. But Dean stopped him just as he touched the doorknob.

"What? What are you talking about?" Dean asked him, slowly standing, bringing Harper with him.

"Nurse…what's-her-face…she said it was her and Anderson, but then there was one more. Some intern named George," Alec explained. He still had his hand on the door; he was just about to leave, but Dean stopped him again.

"Alec, get back in here. You don't even have a knife," Dean said, amusement coloring his tone.

"That's ok," Alec said with a small smile, but Dean nodded his head for him to get back over there and Alec decided he wouldn't argue for now.

"Alright," Dean said once Alec had moved away from the door. "We'll check on Sam, get my clothes, and then we'll find George."

"Me and Tera can go ahead and start looking for him-" Harper started.

"No," Dean cut off. "You're not goin' anywhere with that demon."

"That's gonna be a problem," Harper said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Why?" Dean asked, his eyebrows drawing closer together.

Harper sighed, "Because there's a binding spell on us…"

"She'll explain it later ok?" Alec threw in; he really wanted to get on with this and kill the last monster. He hated this place and the sooner they got out of there, the better.

"Fine," Dean grumbled. He brushed by Harper and Alec, and then walked out of the room. Alec quickly followed with Harper close behind, to Sam's room.

"Wait Dean," Alec called out. Dean slowed down so he could catch up and whisper, "What about the body?"

"Shit," Dean muttered, looking back to the room they had just left.

"I'll take care of it," Harper whispered. Dean gave her a grateful smile, and then she turned back to the room and closed the door behind her.

"C'mon," Dean said after Harper disappeared, and he led the way to Sam's room.

Alec was disappointed to see that Sam was still in a coma, or dream thing. He'd kind of hoped that however Dean woke up it would work for Sam too. But it hadn't. At least he had Dean now; he would know what to do.

"So you really don't know how you woke up?" Alec asked in a whisper.

"I have a guess…" Dean said softly.

"What is it?" Alec immediately asked.

"I think the one that Harper killed was the one that put me under, and when he died, the spell was broken," Dean replied.

"Do you think if we kill the other one, Sam will wake up?" Alec asked.

Dean nodded a little, "I hope so…" He looked around the room for a second and then said, "You stay here, I'm gonna get my clothes and be back…"

"Ok," Alec easily replied, sitting down on the edge of Sam's bed.

Dean left the room and Alec sat there and wondered what Sam could be dreaming about. He'd been with Sam and Dean for a while now, but he didn't know what their dreams would be. He thought he knew them, but he didn't know hardly anything. He knew their parents were dead and he knew Sam had gone to college. That was it. He didn't know what they really wanted to do, or if they really liked being hunters.

He frowned thinking about all the times Sam and Dean had tried to get him to tell them about himself, but he hadn't asked them the same questions. Once they were out of this, he'd ask them. He wanted to get to know them, and who knew, maybe he would share some of the things he went through at Manticore. It might take a while for him to get to that point, but he wasn't planning on leaving his brothers any time soon.

"Hey, you ok?" Dean asked, walking back into the room. He had on jeans and a t-shirt and a knife in his hand; he looked ready to hunt even though he'd just woken up.

Alec shook himself and nodded, "Yeah, I'm alright…"

"Alright…" Dean said slowly. "Let's go hunt this son of a bitch."

Sam lay back with a huge smile on his face, breathing hard. He had really missed Jess. He looked over at her and saw that she had a wide smile on her face and that she was also breathing hard. She turned to her side to meet his gaze. Her eyes were twinkling and she moved so she was partially on top of him; her long blonde hair tickling his chest.

"You think they heard us?" Jess asked in a whisper. Dean and Alec were in the living room, sleeping on the sofa bed. With Alec's hearing, there was no way he missed that unless Dean had knocked him out. That would be kinda funny, and Sam could see Alec asking Dean to do it, but he knew Dean wouldn't.

Sam smirked, "Yeah, I think they heard…"

Jess kissed his shoulder and smiled against him, "Oh well…" She lightly nipped at his skin and moved her way further up to his neck. "Wanna go again?" She asked in a low voice.

Sam's smile widened and he turned so he was on top of Jess.

"Would you two knock it off?!" Alec called out in aggravation from the living room.

Jess laughed and Sam couldn't help but chuckle; poor Alec and his sensitive hearing.

"Sorry," Jess called back in amusement.

"Told you they could hear us," Sam muttered, burying his face against her neck. He lightly grazed his teeth against her and she squirmed beneath him.

"Sam," Jess breathed out. Sam kissed up her neck until he met her lips; he put one hand in her hair and wrapped his other hand around her back to press her closer to him. He moved from her lips to across her jaw, and then pulled back to look at her.

"I love you Jess," Sam whispered.

"I love you too Sam," Jess whispered back.

Dean was tired; he felt the same as he had from the last djinn, but he couldn't stop now. He had to find the djinn and kill him, which would hopefully break Sam from the spell and wake him up.

"Where do you think he's at?" Dean asked Alec as they walked down the hall.

Alec's eyes widened and he shrugged, "I don't know, I've just been wingin' it…"

Dean chuckled, "Well, I can't complain with your method…"

"We should have him paged or something," Alec suggested, trying to hide his smirk.

Dean's eyes brightened and he ruffled Alec's hair as he made his way over to the nurse's station. He leaned against the counter so he could smile at the nurse sitting at the desk. "Hi…um, I'm supposed to talk to Dr. George something…I think he's an intern, but I don't really remember…"

The nurse looked at him and smiled, "Of course! I know George! He should be on call today…" She started typing and then she smiled triumphantly. "He is! I'll have him paged to…"

"Oh, um, my room's over there…I'm supposed to talk to him before I get discharged," Dean said, cranking his smile up just a little more.

"Sure! He should be there in a few minutes."

"Thanks," Dean said before he patted the counter, and then he started back to his room. Alec followed behind him, but they didn't go straight to his room. They went to Alec's room first and saw Harper and Tera waiting in there.

Dean scowled at seeing the demon again, but he didn't say anything. They had a job to do, and he would deal with the demon after Sam woke up.

"Ok, George is getting paged to my room. Me and Alec are going to take him down and Harper, you stay in Sam's room to make sure he's ok," Dean said.

"You're benching me?!" Harper asked incredulously at the same time that Tera asked, "What am I supposed to do?"

Dean pointed at Tera and said, "You, get lost." Then he turned to Harper and tried to soften his tone, "I'm not benching you, Sammy needs protection…"

Harper crossed her arms in defiance and argued, "You and Alec just woke up and you wanna bench me? This is ridiculous."

"Please," Dean practically begged. "Sam needs the best he can get for protection…besides, me and Alec took down that nurse…"

Harper sighed and said, "Fine, but Tera's coming with me."

"No."

"Too bad," Harper said, her eyes flashing. She turned and walked out of the room without another word and Tera followed with a smirk firmly planted on her face.

Dean groaned, but Alec grabbed his sleeve and started pulling him towards the door. "Don't worry about it now…we've got a monster to kill, remember?" Alec said with a small smile.

Dean just nodded; after this was over, he was definitely getting to the bottom of this stupid demon situation. He didn't like it at all, but so far, there was nothing he could do about it.

He and Alec went into his room and closed the door behind them and waited. Alec got on one side of the door, while he stayed on his own side. They didn't have to wait long before the door opened a crack and a short man walked in.

"You George?" Dean asked as soon as the guy had walked in.

He looked up in surprise, having not seen him until he said something. "Umm, yes, I am…"

"Good," Dean said with a smile. Then he suddenly shoved the guy hard and Alec caught him in a headlock while Dean kicked the door closed.

George struggled against Alec's headlock, but he couldn't break free.

"Wha' are you doing?" George struggled to say.

Dean slowly pulled out his knife and started to move forward. George struggled a little more, but Alec had a good hold.

Dean smiled and put the knife against George's throat, "The Doc and the Nurse are gone," Dean said, and he watched as George's face lost its color.

"What?" George asked in shock.

"We killed the nurse ourselves," Dean said with a smirk. "And now it's your turn…"

George finally made his move and slammed Alec back against the wall. Alec released him and he instantly moved for Dean. George shoved Dean across the room and he hit the opposite wall hard. He waited for George to crouch down in front of him and grab his collar. His hand started to glow blue and Dean knew for sure, they had the right guy.

"Alec now!" Dean yelled.

Alec blurred forward and easily got George back in the headlock. He held him still while Dean got to his feet, came over to Alec, and stabbed George in the heart.

Ending coming soon...
