Chapter 18

Sam felt something tickling his nose and cheek and absently brushed it away as he started to sink back into sleep until something moved beside him. His body tensed for a moment until he remembered last night and the sexy woman who was beside him. A hint of a smile crossed his lips when her warm body moved against his as she shifted her position. He glanced at the digital clock and sighed knowing they would need to get up if they were going to make it to Sky's by six.

He closed his eyes thinking a couple more minutes wouldn't hurt when a hand brushed across his stomach, past his belly button, to dance across his hip bone and tickle his inner thigh. Sam could feel himself starting to grow hard the more she explored his lower body. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he pushed her to her back and found her lips, moist and waiting for him. Sasha matched his passion as she kissed him back. A soft growl escaped his lips as their tongues chased each other and their hands began to roam over the other's body. He didn't have to wait long before she opened herself to him and he took her over the edge and back. They lay side by side letting their racing hearts settle down.

"Good morning," he said softly gazing at her shadowed face.

"It is indeed," she cooed back tracing his lips with her finger which he kissed.

Both looked to the floor when a ringing echoed up from the pile of clothes. Sam leaned over her and fumbled around in the clothes trying to find his cell.

"H'lo," he huffed laying back down.

"Rise and shine Sammy, this is your wake up call," Dean yelled from the phone.

"I'm already up."

"Oh, I bet you are. Is she there with you? Did you show her how up you are?"

"Bite me!" Sam growled at his brother and hung up the phone.

"I think you'd rather have her..." Dean crowed from the cell as Sam hung up on him.

"Your brother?"

"Yeah, he's being an ass as always."

"So, I'm guessing there's not much that gets by him where you're concerned," she chuckled.

"Oh yeah, you can expect some teasing when we get there. I'm giving you fair warning," Sam said throwing the covers off them and getting up. "We better shower and get ready. I'll never hear the end of it if we're late."

Dean walked out of the kitchen as Sam and Sasha came through the door at six-thirty. He smirked to himself when he saw them hugged together whispering to each other. He was pretty sure from the look on both their faces; they had a romp under the sheets. He was happy for Sam; it was about time he found someone too.

"'bout time you got here. Have a little trouble getting out of bed this mornin'?"

"Where's the others?" Sam asked looking around the empty room trying to ignore the jab Dean had made.

"They're not here. I wanted to talk to you alone."

"Coffee?" Sky asked coming out of the kitchen holding up cups and a carafe.

"Sure," Sasha replied stepping to her side to take the cups and sit them on the dining room table. There was already a plate of Danish and fruit sitting on it with plates laid out. The two girls sat at the table and watched the boys' interaction.

"What's goin' on?" Sam asked giving his brother a puzzled look.

"I went through all the notes from Sasha last night and learned more about this soul eater that I'm not real happy about."

"So what did you find?"

"It can control young people easier than adults and make them do its bidding. Plus, we can't kill it until it has it's true form which we don't know for sure what that is."

"If that's the case, the girls can't come with us; it could take control and turn them against us."

"My thoughts exactly."

"Problem is they'll wanna come anyway, so how do we keep them away? You know how stubborn they can be," Sam told his brother. He accepted the cup of coffee Sky pushed toward him and waited for his brother to continue.

"I'm havin' the guys keep them occupied this mornin' so we can go after it. I told them we were goin' after it this evening."

"You think that'll work? They are pretty smart you know."

"I know, too smart for their own good. I'm hoping the guys can pull it off and keep them distracted long enough for us to get the job done. At least we have a secret weapon."

"Cas?"

"Yep, we'll give him one of the blades since he can go invisible and get close enough to gank it."

"So I guess we need to do this and hope they don't figure out what we're doing until it's done."

"It's settled then, drink up, we'll call Cas when we get there."

"I just hope we'll live through their wrath when they find out we left them out of the hunt. I may take a vacation and disappear for a while."

"They'll get over it."

"But will they let us?" Sam asked knowing how their sisters were going to react when they found out they were tricked and kept from the hunt.

The girls sat at the table nibbling on Danish while listening to the guys talk. They waited quietly for them to finish their planning.

"Is it always this intense?" Sasha whispered to Sky.

"This is nothing compared to some of the hunts. They've hunted for so long its second nature for them. They don't even have to talk to communicate."

"They're that good?"

"Yep, the best."

"I'd love to hear about some of them," she started until Dean interrupted.

"You girls ready?" Dean asked finally acknowledging they were there.

"Any chance you'll stay here until this is over?" Sam asked Sasha when she got up to stand beside him.

"Like that's gonna happen big guy," she laughed at him like he was crazy.

"Don't even try man, I quit after the second attempt with Sky," Dean told him slapping him on the back. "Might as well get use to it."

"See, they can be trained," Sky bragged giving Dean a kiss on the cheek.

"Keep thinkin' that," Dean told her grabbing her around the waist and giving her a proper kiss.

Sasha giggled at them and reached for Sam's hand, interlacing her fingers with his, while he slipped his other around her shoulder and pulled her close.

"Alright kiddies, let's go for a ride," Dean told them popping Sky's bottom and pushing her toward the door.

"Yea, road trip," Sky quipped heading for the Impala.

The drive to the possible site was silent as each contemplated what they were going to be facing and if they were going to be able to stop it. Dean pulled off the road onto a neglected driveway, going on a short distance before pulling over and stopping. Everyone got out and stood by the car, the others waiting for Dean to take the lead.

"Cas, got your ears on? Need your help," Dean prayed. He opened one eye and looked around waiting for him to appear. The others looked around nervously waiting too.

"Yes, Dean," Castiel spoke making them all jump.

"Damn Cas," Dean fussed. "We're going after the creature and need you to be our secret weapon."

"How will I do that?"

"You'll have one of the blades and when the thing is in its true form, you can get in there and kill it."

"Alright," he said accepting his spelled angel blade from Sam and looking closely at the blade that felt different by the spell. There was a coldness to it now and he almost wanted to give it back.

Dean gripped the other one and Sam pulled the demon knife, knowing it wouldn't kill, but it might slow it down.

"Sam around back and stay out of sight, we need to catch it off guard."

Sky pulled a hand gun and checked the load before stepping up beside Dean. Sasha looked at each of them frowning decided she needed to be armed too.

"Got it. Sasha stay behind me."

"I need a weapon too," she told him not budging from in front of him.

"I don't know, you could hurt yourself."

"I could get hurt without it, you guys all have something," She complained standing tall, not letting Sam get by her

"I like her," Sky commented thinking she was just what Sam needed.

"Fine," Dean said opening the trunk and pulling up the fake bottom to reveal their weapon's stash. He grabbed a hand gun, checked the load and handed it to her. "Don't shoot yourself and for Heaven's sakes don't shoot one of us."

"I have used a gun before," Sasha stated looking the gun over, checking the load, feeling the weight and taking off the safety before stepping up to Sam. "Now let's go."

Sam rolled his eyes and gave Dean a bitch face before heading into the trees to circle around the abandoned, falling down building. Sasha followed closely behind him as they disappeared in the mist.

"Cas go invisible and stay nearby."

"Alright."

"Dean look, isn't that one of the kids from Claire's school?" Sky asked watching someone making their way through the trees toward the building.

"Yeah, does look like it. Come on, we need to get in place 'fore he sucks the rest of the kid's soul out of her."

"Right behind ya Babe," Sky said falling into step with him.

They moved in silence toward an opening just big enough for them to enter. Dean stayed in the shadows moving along the inner wall toward an open area that was suspiciously clean of debris. A table sat in the middle of the area and nothing else. Dean stopped his progress and held up a hand for Sky to do the same. They stood still and waited, both with weapons drawn and ready.

Sam and Sasha had found a way in at the back of the building. He cautioned her to stay behind him and to be quiet. They worked their way around fallen beams and crumbling walls trying to get in a position where they could see and be able to help when needed. Sam stood in the dark doorway where he could see into the open area. He could just make out the shape of his brother hidden on the other side of the building.

Everyone froze when the young girl shuffled into the room. She had a glazed, empty look in her eyes and didn't look like she even knew where she was. Her shuffling took her to the table where she stretched out on it like a sacrifice waiting to be taken.

Sasha trembled slightly as she stood just behind Sam in the darkness of the other room. He placed a reassuring hand on her arm and squeezed gently letting her know she would be okay. She smiled at him and stilled herself drawing in a deep breathe and stilling her nerves. To actually be involved in a hunt was all new to her and she kind of liked it. When this was over with, she would have Sam refresh her gun training and fighting skills. She was sure he wouldn't mind spending more time with her, at least she hoped not.
