Sam's P.O.V.

"Dean, stop. You don't need to do this!" I heard myself say, the foreground was blurry, making me sick. I could tell that something was very wrong, this wasn't actually happening right now. This was a dream, no, this was something different. My head pounded hard against my skull, making my mind spin. I tried to focus the scene in front of me.

"I do." Dean's voice was rough, echoing through the room. I couldn't take my eye off of my brother. He held a gun in his hand and aimed at a strange man that I didn't recognize.

"Dean, no!" I turned my attention to myself, seeing how I tried to stop him but I was too late. He pulled the trigger, making me jump.

"Woah, Sam you okay?" Dean placed his hand on my shoulder, pulling my attention back to reality. My head pounded hard and I lifted my fingers to my temples, rubbing them in an attempt to soothe the pain.

"I don't know." I pressed hard as I rubbed into my temples, sucking in a deep breath and leaning back.

"What's going on?" Alice's soft voice came from my right side and I opened my eyes to look down at her. Her green eyes met mine and were filled with concern. I gave her a small shrug as she took my hand and rubbed small circles into my palm. I blinked and studied her, trying to think about what I had seen.

"I think I just had a vision?" It obviously hadn't actually happened so a vision was the only thing that made sense, but I still wasn't sure.

"A vision? You haven't had one in a long time." Dean piped up, his rough voice coming from the other side. I winced a bit and nodded, though I relaxed a bit as the headache began to fade.

"What was it about?" Alice asked the question and I was glad. Her voice was soft and helpful but Dean's kind of grated and made my head pound.

"Uh, Dean killed someone." I muttered, holding Alice's gaze.

"What? Like a person or a monster?" Dean's hand finally left my shoulder as I stood up and moved across the hotel room to the fridge to grab a beer. I popped the lid off and tilted my head back, letting the cool liquid wash down my throat before replying.

"A person, I mean it was only just a glimpse, but he seemed pretty human, he was defenseless. I was trying to stop you." I finally answered, setting the half empty bottle on counter and finally meeting Dean's eyes.

"Are you sure it was me? I mean it could be a demon or a shifter?" Dean pushed, his eyes hardening a bit. None of us would want to hear that we killed a regular human.

"I don't know, but I think it really was you." I shrugged and finished off the beer, swallowing hard.

"Do you remember anything else from your vision? A place? We should check it out, visions don't just happen, and they mean something." I jumped when Akuma finally spoke, I had forgotten that she was here. I looked over to where she sat on the couch and frowned at her, trying to think for a while before answering.

"Uhm, I think we were in a hospital, there was medical equipment. And uh, yeah, there was a sign on the wall, it was Rivergrove."

"Oregon?" Alice moved across the room to her sister, plucking Akuma's journal out of her hands. "Well, I think Akuma's right. We should check it out." She said, closing it and smirking at her sister. I hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"We should go and check it out." I said softly, looking at Dean again and waiting for him to nod.

"Agreed. Let's go." Akuma stood and grabbed her journal back from Alice, tucking it under her arm and moving for the door. "I'll grab my bag from the other room and we can go." She said, looking between us all and waiting for us all to nod before she left. Dean sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I gotta go get my bag too." He muttered, reluctantly following after Akuma. A few minutes later I was in the impala waiting for dean while the girls were in Sirius. Dean was silent when he got into the car and took off. The trip was long but filled with upbeat music. The town was basically deserted when we got there so we parked and piled out of the cars.

"Well this is… strange." Akuma muttered, stretching and looking around. I frowned when I noticed that her pupils had flared a bit but shook it off. It happened sometimes when she was excited for a hunt.

"Yeah it is. Definitely our kind of thing." Alice piped up, walking off ahead of us, peaking into a store window. I walked after her and stopped when I noticed an inscription in a telephone pole.

"Croatoan?" I ran my fingers over the inscription, remembering the story of the lost colony of Roanoke that dad had told me about years ago. "Hey, what do you guys know about Croatoan?"

"Uh, not a whole lot. Just that it was supposed to be some kind of virus that killed off a bunch of people." Akuma sounded distracted as she popped open the trunk of Sirius and grabbed a gun and knife.

"It's the name of a demon associated with plague and pestilence. I remember reading about it in my book." Alice walked over to me and looked at the telephone pole.

"Look who's the nerd now." Akuma's voice was teasing as she closed the trunk and stretched her arms above her head.

"If this has any relation to that then we are in way over our heads." I groaned a bit, not really wanting to deal with this at the moment.

"I don't think that we are dealing with anything more than a couple demons. I mean, this place is pretty..." Dean railed off, looking like he had no idea what he was trying to say.

"Abandoned." Akuma filled in the blank and met his eyes, giving him an easy smile. I lifted an eyebrow and smirked at the way Dean returned the look but kept my mouth shut, turning to Alice when she started to speak.

"Yeah, which is weird don't you think? I haven't seen anyone." She muttered, moving away from me and starting to move up the street again.

"Maybe we should go look for someone to talk to. Maybe not in our Fed threads?" Akuma suggested, playing with the knife in her hand and pricking her finger with the tip, causing me to frown again. She was acting a bit off.

"Yeah, want to split up?" Dean looked at me and I shrugged.

"Sure, I'll go with you, we can take the car and drive around some more, see if there is anything or anyone on the road. That way Alice and Sam can check out downtown." Akuma's voice was light and she moved closer to Dean, flipping the knife so she held the blade and held it out to him. He frowned for a moment before taking it from her. She grinned and turned to us.

"Sounds good. Meet back here in," I looked down at my watch for a moment before looking back up at them. "Two hours." They both nodded and Akuma tossed Alice her keys before following dean to the impala.

Akuma's P.O.V.

I sat in the passenger seat, feeling antsy about this place. I had a slight headache forming at the back of my head, at the top of my neck. It was a pulse but it felt like the one I had gotten when my uncle hard started to teach me how to read minds. It was the only time I had gotten a headache at that level or in that place. I frowned when Dean stopped at what was supposed to be another exit from the town. It was completely blocked off and there was a few people milling around. "This one too?" I asked, rubbing my neck and sitting up a bit straighter. This was the fourth exit we had checked and there was only one more after this.

"Apparently. How much you want to be the last one is blocked off too?" He responded, sounding a bit grumpy. I let out a short laugh and looked at one of the humans outside, a strong flash of red and a scream flashing through my mind when he met my eyes. I tore my gaze away and looked out the windshield. "You okay?"

"Uh… yeah. Some guy has a pretty strong thought process going on." I leaned back and glanced at Dean offering him a short smile. "Let's just go check the last exit, hopefully it's actually open. If not we can call or text Alice and Sam." I muttered with a slight sigh. This place was fucking creepy and I was feeling my darker side constantly struggling to gain some sort of control. I could keep most of it under control, like the dark thoughts and anger, but my senses were going off more and more the further into town that we got.

Dean nodded and started driving again, swearing when we reached the last exit and found it closed. "Call Sam… I'm going to try and talk to one of these people." I didn't wait for a response before I got out of the car, taking in a deep breath of fresh air. The moment I started to walk forward people surged at me and noise washed over me. I backed up as one broke away from the crowd and ran at me, looking completely pissed off. "Fucckkkk." I groaned, backing up until I hit the impala, I could hear Dean inside and everyone's breathing and footsteps. My senses were more heightened than they had ever been and I felt as if I could feel their hatred on my skin. I pulled the door and slipped back in, pressing my fingers to my temple. "We need to go." I groaned, trying to think of a reason as to why this was happening to me.

Dean's P.O.V.

"Sam and Alice are at the hospital." I was blunt as I drove quickly through the town, wanting to get back to my brother before whatever was affecting everyone else made him go weird. I wasn't sure exactly what was going on but Akuma looked like she was barely functional and I was worried about Sam and Alice.

"What happened are they okay?" Akuma's voice was strained as she spoke. I shoved away the wave of worry that hit me over her and concentrated on my brother, not wanting to deal with anything like that right now. There were more important things to worry about.

"They're fine. They scouted the town and found some people...they were being held hostage by their crazy son who tried to stab Sammy but he's fine. They took the guy to the hospital after Alice smashed him over the head with a frying pan. But they want us to check something out. It's about his blood." I explained, taking a sharp turn and glancing to my side when Akuma swore softly.

"For fucks sake, alright...hurry...I think I have a theory, but I gotta check with Sam." Akuma sounded a bit annoyed and impatient now, making me roll my eyes.

"Why?"

"Something he said earlier today got me thinking. I don't think that this was an accident, this whole thing stinks of demon." Akuma sighed, her hand grabbing the dashboard. It wasn't long before we pulled up to the hospital, the door had been chained shut, and the windows blacked out, it made me really nervous. I sent a text to Sam and he told me that the side entrance was our way in. Akuma had been all jumpy about everything since we turned back, she had something on her mind and it was bothering her, I could tell that much by the hard squint that she was giving to her feet.

"Sam, what's going on?" Akuma pushed past me and reached for Sam; she had gotten a lot more protective over him in the last day or so. I narrowed my eyes a bit and shoved my hands into my pockets over the action, though I didn't say anything.

"Come, I'll show you." Sam said, sounding a bit worried. We followed him into a closed off office where a nurse stood at the counter, looking into a microscope. "Dean, Akuma, this is Stacy, she's a nurse here."

"Well, doctor in training." She offered a smile and then cleared her throat before turning back to the scope. "Now I'm guessing you want a run down for what's happening. I took a blood sample from, well, that guy and his brother to test and I found something very strange. There seems to be a sulphur compound in their blood."

"In both of them?" Akuma demanded, moving towards the nurse, though she stopped at the counter and grabbed it hard enough to crack it, drawing a surprised look from the Stacy woman.

"Well, one for sure, the other is still being tested. Amy said that she would be back in a few minutes, though it shouldn't be taking this long." The nurse sounded a bit shaken as Akuma bent at the waist and pressed her head against the counter. I stared at her for a moment longer before I started to pace, not knowing what else to do with myself. I glanced at the two guys that were tied down, one of them knocked out and the other awake, meeting my eyes.

"Sam, I think that your dad's theory was right." Akuma finally got out, straightening up again as I turned to look at her. She looked pained and her pupils had flared a bit, the one nurse swallowed but stayed where she was as Akuma turned away to meet my eyes for a brief second before she turned to Sam.

"If this virus is a demonic plague, we need to stop it from spreading immediately." Sam sounded ready to take over as he moved closer to Alice who had been quiet so far. She looked like she was about to say something when one of the men started yelling. I turned to look and stared in slight horror when I noticed the one that was infected had started having a seizure. It didn't last long but it looked painful. Yellow foam had leaked from his mouth and when I could smell the sulfur from here. I hesitated for a moment before moving forward and untying him, glancing over my shoulder at Sam and gesturing for him to help. After a few moments we had his body in the closet with a chair up against the door. I was about to say something when the other nurse walked in.

"He's got it too." Were the only words she said, not even looking at the other man who was still tied up?

"What the hell are you on?! I'm CLEAN." The guy yelled, pulling against the restraints. He looked pretty pissed now, though he had been calm a moment ago. There was no way to tell if it was from the virus or just a bad reaction.

"Oh just SHUT UP." Akuma snapped before anyone could react. She met the guys gaze with a glare and he stared only stared at her for a moment before swallowing and nodding, proving that for now it was just a bad reaction. "Alright, this place is now on lockdown. No one gets in or out. This virus, you say, is transmittable by blood so keep your liquids to yourself." She continued, turning to look at the rest of us. Her eyes were cold, but her pupils were normal which was a good sign for now.

"I want all the weapons are to be placed in the closet...for now…" Sam piped up and I shook my head at him.

"No way Sammy, how are we going to protect ourselves?" I demanded, receiving a straight face and slight glare from my younger brother.

"Dean please, I don't want my vision to come true." Was all he said. I held his gaze for a second longer before letting out a disgruntled sigh and holding my gun out to him. I wasn't pleased with this situation at all, but there would be no fighting him.

"I feel naked." I grumbled, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Shut up and let's figure this thing out. Maybe we can find a cure." Sam muttered, finding a chair and sitting down. I shook my head and glanced at Akuma who head sat on the ground and put her head in her hands again. Alice crouched down beside her and she lifted her head up and nodding at something Alice had said, offering a small smile before Alice stood and walked away.

Alice's P.O.V.

I sat down in one of the many uncomfortable plastic chairs, processing what everyone had just said. I already had a minor headache from all the screaming that went on in the house, and now this. Dean was sure as hell going to kill that guy if Sam didn't take away the weapons. Sam told me about the vision and I had been worried about Dean's possible slip up, though what the other nurse, Amy, had said didn't make any sense if the man in Sam's vision was innocent.

"Wait, are you sure that he's infected?" I stood up from my chair, glancing over to Sam quickly before turning my attention back to Amy.

"You doubt me? I'm pretty damn sure. I did the test." Amy looked completely pissed as she met my gaze and clenched her hands into fists at her sides. She moved towards me and I backed up, curling my hands into fists and meeting her glare with one of my own.

"Woah, okay, we believe you." Sam moved closer to me as if to protect me. It was only when Sam had turned to me with a small smile to make sure that I was alright that I saw the scalpel in Amy's hand. I opened my mouth to say something but she had cut open her hand and then lunged at Sam.

"Sam!" Was all I could get out before Amy slashed at Sam, cutting the arm he raised to protect himself before she grabbed the wound with her bleeding hand. I rushed forwards as they fell together, knocking the small blade from her hand though she clawed at my neck, drawing blood. I yelled out in pain as she flipped me over and grabbed at my neck, choking me. It was Akuma who kicked the bitch off of me. I coughed hard, rolling onto my stomach to watch as Akuma and other girl fought. Dean had managed to grab Sam away from the fight, pulling a knife from under his pant leg he grabbed the woman and stabbed her as she straddled Akuma, She was screaming bloody murder the entire time. The wound killing her instantly and she flopped on top of Akuma and Akuma kicked her off. I stood up slowly, grabbing at neck, feeling the sting of cool air hitting my wounds. I froze, I could practically feel the blood fade from my face. She bled on my scratches, I was infected, which means that Sam was infected. My eyes darted to Sam, his face filled with horror as he came to the same conclusion that I had.

"Alice! Fuck!" Akuma stood and waved a bit, lifting a hand to her head and letting out a low groan "Shit." Akuma shouted. I couldn't tell if she was angrier with me or for herself. I noticed that there was blood all over face, and in her mouth. I almost gagged, realizing that the blood came from Amy. Akuma was spitting it out all over the floor, her pupils had already taken over and I thought I could see some yellow working its way into the black; she was pissed. I felt a sickening feeling wash over me, we were all infected and there was no cure. I let out a low sigh and then started to feel woozy, I pressed a hand to my eyes to try and clear my blurring vision. I kept my eyes shut for a long moment, trying not to throw up, I could hear Dean checking on Sam and Akuma. He was bandaging up Sam's arm when I opened my eyes.

"I need some help over here too." I spat out, stumbling forwards just enough to grab a hold of the counter.

"Alice?" I heard Sam say, though he sounded like he was miles away, my vision blurring completely and my legs couldn't hold me up anymore. My whole body started to feel cold, like I was being held under ice water, I felt myself hit the floor and begin to shiver hard. The voices in the room were just white noise now, the blackness around me sinking in until there was nothing.

Sam's P.O.V.

We had sat there waiting for a least a few hours. Akuma had seemed completely fine, not that I had doubts that the demon virus would affect her since she was part demon. Alice on the other hand had me extremely worried. She had broken out into a fever about an hour ago, falling in and out of consciousness. We placed her on one of the tables in the room, I sat beside her, cooling her down with a wet cloth. I hadn't shown any signs out having the virus but Alice was affected differently than the other victims. They had all broken out into a fit of rage and turned murderous towards the other people of the town, infecting the ones who survived the brawl.

"Anything?" I glanced over to the nurse, she had taken Akuma's blood as well as mine and Alice's blood to make sure that we were not infected with the virus. Akuma's blood was clean from what the nurse could tell, not that was shocked.

"Nothing. You are clean too." She confirmed that I was fine, though I was more worried about Alice. I held onto her hand after she reached out and tugged on my jacket. She was murmuring to herself in a language that I couldn't understand.

"And Alice?" I cleared my throat, glancing between Dean and Akuma.

"Well, it's weird."

"Well get on with it, is she gunna be okay?!" Akuma snapped, her voice dark. She had seemed like she was handling this situation better than everyone but I guess I was wrong. She was freaking out just as much as I was, though she looked a lot better than she had before we were attacked.

"Her blood does have the sulphur in it but it's not affecting her the same as the others I've tested. It appears that it can't penetrate her blood cells to infect her, and so as a result her body is fighting against it as hard as she can. That's why she has a fever. As soon as her body breaks the fever she should be back to normal, though her body is, how should I say, has more cells fighting than normal. But then again it could be the side effects of the 'demonic germ', as you say." She spoke, standing up and walking over to Alice and me.

"But she will okay?" I asked softly, trying to keep my voice even.

"Yes, I can give her a shot of antibiotics to help her fight back. It will be easier on her body, it might even bring down her fever slightly." The nurse's voice was soothing and I relaxed a bit, though I was still worried. Akuma ran a and through her hair and started pacing, muttering something low under her breath that sounded pretty close to a string of curses. I glanced at the door, waiting from Dean to return from doing a quick scan of the hospital to ensure that it was safe. I only had to wait a few moments before he opened the door and stepped into the room, looking confused but relieved.

"There's no one here." He breathed as the nurse gave Alice the antibiotic. I held her hand tight and frowned at Dean.

"What?" Akuma's voice held a slight growl and she turned to look at Alice again, her blue eyes filled with worry and a bit of fear as she moved closer to her sister and pushed some hair out of her face.

"Everyone, they're all gone. I checked outside and the phones are working again." Dean sounded a bit rushed but I got distracted by what Alice was trying to say.

"...zod leh fah….Sammy…..pah dey rah….." She tugged me down and I frowned as I listened to her, wondering what language she was speaking in. It really didn't sound like any language I had heard or heard of.

"Alice? I don't know what you're saying." I said softly, rubbing her shoulder lightly and looking up to Akuma with a frown. Sometimes hunters had their own code so maybe it was something like that. "What did she say?"

"Uhhh... demons...and always...or forever…I think." Akuma gave me a confused look, as if she had expected me to understand her.

"It's not Latin, what is it?" I pressed, returning her look with a frown. I was beginning to get a headache from this entire situation. I just wanted Alice to be okay.

"I don't know." Akuma pinched the bridge of her nose and I sighed, about to say something else when Dean interrupted.

"Who cares? Let's get out of here before we get trapped again." He sounded impatient but I had to agree, we needed to leave before anything else happened. Alice looked better since she had received the shot and it would be best to get her out of here. I scooped her up and started walking, falling in behind Dean while Akuma fell into step behind me. I placed Alice in the back seat of the impala and climbed in beside her, glancing out the window and drowning when I saw Akuma starring Dean down before saying something too quiet to hear, though she sounded pretty pissed off. Dean just shook his head and took a step back when she reached out to him before pulling her hand back and turning around, storming to her car.

Luke's P.O.V.

The sound of the cars echoed between the buildings, drawing a smile from my lips. I was very much aware of the unique rumble of Akuma's engine, I could pick it out anywhere. I pulled out the phone from my pocket, pressing speed dial, the call picking up in under three rings.

"Yes, Sam is immune….as expected."

"And the girls?" The gravelly voice on the other end hissed.

"The whore is clean...the other is much more interesting."

"How so?"

"She's not affected like the others."

"This is news….continue your trail...keep your distance." The line went dead and I hung up, glancing in the direction that the two cars went, and I smiled at my reflection of the car, my eyes flicking to black.
