Chapter 4

Yellow Eyes

Sam slowly poured salt along the window sill. His face was bloody, bruised and swollen from getting beaten up by the demon that Dean had killed. He felt a pair of eyes on him from Chloe who had just finished putting salt by the door.

Dean came into the room letting out a soft breath.

"How is he?" Sam asked softly as he continued to work.

"He just needed a little rest, that's all. How are you?" Dean asked looking at his brother worried about him.

"I'll survive." He turned to Dean. "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."

"Doubt it… demons aren't always that smart… most of the time they're called to where they need to go." Chloe said as she leaned against the wall.

"Yeah." Sam slowly looked over 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 asked his little brother as he crossed his arms.

"Man, I'm trying to thank you here."

"You're welcome."

Sam slowly moved across the room.

"Hey, Sam?"

"Yeah?"

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

"You didn't have a choice, Dean."

"Sam's right Dean." Chloe said as she pushed herself off of the wall looking at the older Winchester brother with a knowing look.

"Yeah, I know, that's not what bothers me." Dean admitted softly looking at the two of them.

"Then what does?" Sam asked tilting his head a little bit in confusion.

"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 just looked at his older brother unsure of what to say to him.

"For the job… sometimes it can scare any hunter… it's part of life." Chloe said softly biting her lower lip knowing that it probably wasn't going to make him feel any better.

John came into the room. "It shouldn't. You did good."

"You're not mad?" Dean asked turning to face his father.

"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."

Chloe blinked a few times remembering how John acted and this was sounding so much not like him.

"Thanks." Dean said softly not thinking too much on that moment of how his father was acting.

The wind suddenly picked up and the lights began to flicker.

They all walked to the window with grim looks on their faces.

"It found us. It's here." John said as he continued to look out the window.

"The demon?" Sam asked softly, hoping that he was right about what he had said.

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

"We already did it."

"Well, check it, okay?" John said looking at Sam.

Chloe looked at Sam wondering if he was going to do what his father said.

"Okay." He gestured with his head to Chloe.

The two of them left the room.

Chloe let out a breath as she checked the lines over. "Sam…"

"Hm?" Sam questioned looking over at her.

"Can I ask you something?" Chloe asked softly as she continued to work.

Sam turned to look at her fully. "Chloe, about what?" He asked his brows furrowed together in concern.

"You were out…"

"How'd you know about that?"

"Dad said something about college a while ago to me…" Chloe said softly as she moved back from where she was checking the salt line. "Why come back?"

Sam let out a breath. "That's a long story…"

"One you don't want to explain to me?" Chloe said wiping her hands on her jeans.

Sam looked down weakly.

"I get it." Chloe said with a shrug. "You don't want to tell me. We're not as close as we were when we were children."

"Chloe it's not that…"

Chloe looked at him. "No, Sam. I get it. Honest." She shook her head. "I haven't been your friend in years."

"Chloe… you've been my friends, even though we haven't had contact with one another."

Chloe's brow quirked in confusion.

"You'll always be my friend. No matter what had happened…"

The two went into the room and stood in shock seeing Dean pointing the gun at John.

Chloe blinked a few times in confusion. Dean had to have a reason to do what he was doing.

"Dean? What the hell's going on?" Sam asked his confusion could be well heard in his voice.

"Your brother's lost his mind." John told his youngest son.

"He's not Dad." Dean told his little brother.

"What?"

"I think he's possessed. I think he's been possessed since we rescued him." Dean began to get angry.

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

"Dean, how do you know?"

Dean fought back tears. "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 said pleading with his youngest son.

Chloe slowly moved to where Dean was trusting the older brother. She knew that it wasn't easy for him to make this choice.

Sam looked back and forth between his father and where Dean stood with Chloe.

Dean glanced at Sam not saying another word to convince him.

"Sam?"

Sam continued to look back and forth with worry. He knew that he needed to make a choice. "No. No." He moved to where his brother was.

John looked at them with a hurt look across his face. "Fine. You three are so sure, go ahead. Kill me." John looked down and waited.

Dean held the gun on his father, but he can't pull the trigger to shoot him.

"I thought so." John said looking up his eyes were yellow.

Sam lunged, but was thrown against the wall and pinned there. Dean was pinned against the other wall and he dropped the Colt. Chloe was then flung into the wall and pinned as well.

John came over and picked up the Colt. "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 questioned as he looked at his father.

"Well, you found me."

"But the holy water?" Sam said in shock trying to figure out why the holy water didn't work on the demon that was in their father.

"You think something like that works on something like me?" He said looking at Sam with a smirk on his lips.

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

John stroked Chloe's cheek softly causing her to struggle against the force that held her to the wall. "Oh, that'd be a neat trick. In fact," he put the gun down onto the table, "here. Make the gun float to you there, psychic boy."

Sam looked at the gun, but nothing happened.

"Well, this is fun." He walked over to the window that was beside Dean. "I could've killed you a hundred times today, but this..." He sighed. "this is worth the wait."

Dean struggled against the wall.

John looked over at Dean. "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 as he struggled.

"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?" Dean asked looking up at him.

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

"You've got to be kidding me."

"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 up at him.

Chloe looked over at Sam seeing the anguish written across Sam's face. She swallowed the lump in her throat.

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

"Yeah."

Chloe took a shaky breath.

John turned to Dean. "You know, I never told you this, but Sam was going to ask her to marry him." He moved back towards Sam. "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 softly wondering what was going on.

"My plans for you, Sammy. You... and all the children like you." John said with a smirk.

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

John went to 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 smile at him.

John looked at him before stepping back lowering his head. He looked back up and Dean suddenly screamed in pain.

"Dean! No!" Sam yelled looking at his brother in shock.

Dean began to bleed heavily from his chest.

Sam started to struggle against the force that held him.

Chloe struggled against the force that held her against the wall as well.

"Dad! Dad, don't you let it kill me!" Dean pleaded for his father to stop.

John looked at him again and smiled. Dean screamed in pain again.

"Dean! No!"

Blood flowed freely from Dean.

Sam struggled harder to get loose.

Blood ran from Dean's mouth. "Dad, please." Dean suddenly passed out.

"Dean!"

"Stop." John whispered.

Sam suddenly fell to his feet.

"Stop it."

Sam dived and grabbed the gun from the table.

John's eyes turned yellow again as Sam pointed the gun at him. "You kill me, you kill Daddy."

"I know." Sam said before firing the gun, shooting John in the leg.

John fell down causing Dean to fall as well as Chole.

Chloe moved quickly towards Dean.

Sam got up and went to Dean as well. "Dean? Dean, hey? Oh God, you've lost a lot of blood."

"Where's Dad?" Dean coughed out.

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

"Go check on him."

"Dean."

"Go check on him."

"Go Sam… I got him." Chloe said pushing him softly as she held her hand to one of his wounds.

Sam got up and went over to his father who was lying motionless on the floor. "Dad? Dad?"

John looked up suddenly to Sam. "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 John.

"Do it now!"

"Sam, don't you do it. Don't you do it." Dean yelled struggling against Chloe.

"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 stop moving." Chloe said softly pushing him down.

"You do this! Sammy! Sam..."

Suddenly the demon leaves John's mouth a cloud of black smoke. It disappeared through the floor.

John looked at Sam accusingly.

Sam drove the Impala with John by his side and Dean and Chloe in the backseat.

John gasped in pain while Dean was slumped in the back seat.

"Look, just hold on, alright. The hospital's only ten minutes away." Sam said gripping the wheel.

"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."

Sam looked in the rear view mirror at Dean who had Chloe over him trying to keep the bleeding down. "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.

Dean, Sam, John, and Chloe were all knocked unconscious in the car, blood covering them all.
