Authoress Note: Welcome to the final chapter of Troublemaker. Thank you to those who stuck with me during this time of reading Troublemaker, it really does mean a lot to me. With further ado Chapter 4 of Troublemaker.

Chapter 4

Not John

Sam with the help of Violet poured salt along the windows. His face was a mess, bruised, bloody and swollen from the demon attack.

Dean came into the room seeing them working on the windows.

"How is he?" Sam asked softly as he worked.

"He just needed a little rest, that's all. How are you?"

"I'll survive." Sam turned to his brother. "Hey, you don't think we were followed here, do you?"

"I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, we couldn't have found a more out-of-the-way place to hole up."

"Yeah." He looked at his brother. "Hey, uh... Dean, you, um... you saved my life back there."

"So, I guess you're glad I brought the gun, huh?" Dean questioned his brother.

"You two aren't going to start fighting are you?" Violet questioned tiredly. "You fight more than me and my Uncle Rufus." She shook her head lightly knowing that her and her uncle fought constantly.

Sam let out a soft breath. "Man, I'm trying to thank you here."

"You're welcome."

Sam slowly walked across the room.

"Hey, Sam?" Dean said softly causing his brother to stop.

"Yeah?"

"You know that guy I shot? There was a person in there."

"You didn't have a choice, Dean."Sam said looking over at his brother.

"Yeah, I know, that's not what bothers me." Dean admitted his brows furrowed in worry.

"Then what does?" Sam asked confusion written across his face.

"Killing that guy, killing Meg. I didn't hesitate, I didn't even flinch. For you or Dad, the things I'm willing to do or kill, it's just, uh ... it scares me sometimes."

Sam looked at Dean unsure of what to say.

Violet let out a breath unsure of what to say to the older Winchester.

John came into the room looking at them. "It shouldn't. You did good." John told his oldest son.

"You're not mad?" Dean asked slightly confused of why his father wasn't upset with him using a bullet.

"For what?"

"Using a bullet."

"Mad? I'm proud of you. You know, Sam and I, we can get pretty obsessed. But you – you watch out for this family. You always have."

"Thanks." Dean said softly.

The wind suddenly began to pick up and the lights began to flicker. They went over to the window looking out it.

"It found us. It's here." John said looking at his sons.

"The demon?"

"Sam, lines of salt in front of every window, every door. Take Violet with you."

Violet looked at John with big dark brown eyes. She was confused about why John was even ordering her around. She wasn't even part of this and she had helped Sam with the whole thing of putting salt down.

"I already did it." Sam said looking at his father.

"Well, check it, okay?"

"Okay." Sam said as he left the room grabbing Violet's hand on the way out.

Violet bit her lip as she walked with Sam. "You sure you're okay? That was a hell of a beating you too from that demon."

"I'm okay. Just a bit bruised up."

"I can tend to it once we're finished with checking the salt lines."

Sam nodded his head. "Can I ask you something?"

Violet blinked a few times. "Sure, of course. What did you want to ask Sam?" She asked as she checked a salt line that they had made before.

"You said you fight with your uncle… is he a hunter too?" Sam asked softly to her. He was curious about her and what she knew.

Violet bit her lower plush lip and then let out a soft sigh. "Yes, he is a hunter, but he's more of a recluse now. He hasn't gone on a hunt in a while." She admitted softly. "Kind to think of it… he hates it when I took after him and went to hunting. I guess he didn't want that for me, but the man taught me everything I know."

"How long have you been hunting for and why get into it?"

"Same for almost everyone else that gets into this life. My father Ryan who is my uncle's younger brother and my mother were killed by what I don't know." She let out a breath. "I was fifteen at the time and I of course was at school when it happened. I was picked up by my uncle and he took me to his place. I would meet Bobby a few days later. Honestly… if it weren't for Bobby and my Uncle… I don't know where I would be."

Sam nodded his head softly. "Have you tried to get out?"

"And do what? Try to go to college like you did before Dean came and got you?"

Sam rubbed the back of his neck shyly. "Yeah…"

"Honestly at a time I did, yes, but I decided that I wouldn't fit in." Violet shrugged. "This life, it may be hard, but I don't think I'd give it up. Come on I'm sure Dean and your dad are waiting for us."

Sam nodded his head and walked with her into the room where they left Dean and John together.

They stopped in shock seeing Dean pointing the gun at John.

Sam's eyes were wide. "Dean? What the hell's going on?"

"Your brother's lost his mind." John told Sam as he continued to look at his eldest son.

"He's not Dad." Dean said looking at Sam and Violet out of the corner of his eye. He knew something was wrong.

"What?" Sam asked in confusion wondering how Dean even knew.

"I think he's possessed. I think he's been possessed since we rescued him." He starts to get upset over the fact that their father could be very well possessed.

"Don't listen to him, Sammy." John said looking at his youngest.

"Dean, how do you know?" Sam asked looking at his brother. He wanted to know how his brother knew that their father was possessed. There was just no way. He had tested him.

Dean fought back the tears that came to his eyes. "He's ... he's different."

"You know, we don't have time for this. Sam, you wanna kill this demon, you've gotta trust me." John snapped looking at his eldest son with a sour look on his face.

Sam looked back and forth between his father and Dean. He was so confused about why Dean was saying what he was saying.

Dean glanced at his brother, but didn't say anything else to convince him that their father was possessed.

Violet bit her lower lip in worry trying to remember the stories that Bobby had told her about John, but none were popping up in her head.

"Sam?" John said looking at his youngest.

Sam's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. "No. No." He moved to stand by his brother's side.

John looked at Violet. "Violet?"

Violet shook her head and moved to where the brothers were. She wasn't going to choose John over the brothers because she didn't know him at all.

John looked at them with a hurt look on his face. "Fine. You three are so sure, go ahead. Kill me." John waited for the gun to go off.

Dean held the Colt on him, but he can't pull the trigger.

"I thought so." John's eyes suddenly turned yellow.

Sam lunged, but was thrown against the wall and pinned. So is Dean and he drops the Colt.

John picked up the gun and waved his hand bringing Violet to him. His hand went around her throat causing tears to her eyes. John looked at the gun in his other hand in distaste. "What a pain in the ass this thing's been."

"It's you, isn't it? We've been looking for you for a long time." Sam said struggling a little bit against the wall.

"Well, you found me."

"But the holy water?"

"You think something like that works on something like me?" The demon mocked Sam.

Sam tried to fight the force that had him pinned to the wall, but failed miserably. "I'm gonna kill you!"

"Oh, that'd be a neat trick. In fact," he placed the gun down onto the table, "here. Make the gun float to you there, psychic boy."

Sam looked at the gun, but it doesn't move.

"Well, this is fun." He walked over to the window beside Dean dragging Violet with him. "I could've killed you a hundred times today, but this..." He let out a sigh. "this is worth the wait."

Dean struggled against the wall, but is still pinned.

John looked over at him a coy smirk came to his lips. "Your Dad – he's in here with me. Trapped inside his own meat suit. He says "hi", by the way. He's gonna tear you apart. He's gonna taste the iron in your blood."

"Let him go, or I swear to God –" Dean said struggling some more.

"What? What are you and God gonna do? You see, as far as I'm concerned, this is justice." He came over to Dean. "You know that little exorcism of yours? That was my daughter."

"Who, Meg?"

"The one in the alley? That was my boy. You understand."

"You've got to be kidding me." Dean said looking up at John.

"What? You're the only one that can have a family? You destroyed my children. How would you feel if I killed your family?" He smiled at Dean. "Oh, that's right. I forgot. I did. Still, two wrongs don't make a right."

"You son of a bitch."

"I wanna know why. Why'd you do it?" Sam questioned looking at John. He wanted to know the truth.

John turned to Sam. "You mean, why did I kill Mommy and pretty, little Jess?"

"Yeah."

John turned to Dean gripping onto Violet tightly. "You know, I never told you this, but Sam was going to ask her to marry him. Been shopping for rings and everything." He turned to Sam. "You want to know why? Because they got in the way."

"In the way of what?" Sam asked as he fought tears from falling.

"My plans for you, Sammy. You... and all the children like you."

"Listen, you mind just getting this over with, huh? Cause I really can't stand the monologuing." Dean said scoffing a bit.

John walked back to Dean dragging Violet with him. "Funny, but that's all part of your M.O., isn't it? Masks all that nasty pain, masks the truth."

"Oh, yeah? What's that?"

"You know, you fight and you fight for this family, but the truth is they don't need you. Not like you need them. Sam – he's clearly John's favorite. Even when they fight, it's more concern than he's ever shown you."

"I bet you're real proud of your kids, too, huh? Oh wait, I forgot. I wasted 'em." Dean smiled at him and John looked at him.

He stepped back putting his head down flinging Violet to the wall. He looked back up causing Dean to suddenly scream in pain.

"Dean! No!" Sam yelled struggling against the wall

Dean began to bleed heavily from his chest.

Sam started to struggle more against the force that had him pinned to the wall.

"Dad! Dad, don't you let it kill me!" Dean pleaded with his father hoping he would fight the demon back.

John looked back at him and smiled.

Dean screamed in agony.

"Dean! No!" Sam yelled in fear of losing Dean to this demon.

Blood flowed freely from Dean.

Sam struggled trying to get free.

Blood dribbled down Dean's chin. "Dad, please." Dean passed out.

"Dean!" Sam yelled in agony.

Violet slowly lifted her throbbing head. Her whole body ached from being thrown.

" Stop." John whispered.

Sam is suddenly released from his hold.

"Stop it."

Sam dived and grabbed the colt off of the table.

John turned to Sam his eyes turning yellow once again.

Sam aimed the gun at him.

"You kill me, you kill Daddy."

"I know." Sam fired the gun, shooting his father in the leg.

John falls causing Dean to fall down as well.

Sam gets up moving over to his brother. "Dean? Dean, hey? Oh God, you've lost a lot of blood."

"Where's Dad?" Dean asked weakly coughing a little bit of blood up.

"He's right here. He's right here, Dean."

"Go check on him."

"Dean."

"Go check on him."

Sam got up to his feet and saw that Violet was up and moving around as he went to his father who was laying motionless on the floor. "Dad? Dad?"

John suddenly looked up at Sam. "Sammy! It's still alive. It's inside me, I can feel it. You shoot me. You shoot me! You shoot me in the heart, son!"

Sam aimed the gun at his father.

"Do it now!"

"Sam, don't you do it. Don't you do it."

Violet felt her heart crumbling wondering what was going to happen. Was Sam really going to shoot John right in front of his brother and her?

"You've gotta hurry! I can't hold onto it much longer! You shoot me, son! Shoot me! Son, I'm begging you! We can end this here and now! Sammy!"

"Sam, no." Dean pleaded with his little brother to not kill their father.

"You do this! Sammy! Sam..." The demon suddenly left John in a black cloud through his mouth. It disappeared through the floor. John looked at Sam accusingly.

SPNSPN

Sam drove the Impala with John by his side. Dean was in the back seat with Violet who was trying to tend to his wounds while he was slumped in the seat.

"Look, just hold on, alright. The hospital's only ten minutes away." Sam said softly as he drove knowing that Dean needed serious medical attention.

"I'm surprised at you, Sammy. Why didn't you kill it? I thought we saw eye-to-eye on this? Killing this demon comes first – before me, before everything." John said looking over at his youngest son.

Sam looked in the rear view mirror at Dean who had a balled up shirt on one of his wounds which was Violet's shirt. "No, sir. Not before everything. Look, we've still got the Colt. We still have the one bullet left. We just have to start over, alright? I mean, we already found the demon..."

An eighteen wheeler suddenly slammed into the passenger side of the Impala at full speed, driving it sideways in front of it. The driver of the semi sat behind the wheel his eyes were black.

Dean, Sam, Violet, and John were all knocked unconscious blood covering them all.
