A Missed Shot

Chapter Twenty-One

Sam nervously inspects Alisa. Something is missing. She had something hanging around her neck, glowing in her grip last time he looked at her now it's gone.

Dean is glaring at her, making sure she doesn't make a move, also noticing that her hands were trembling. He smirks and starts to speak. "Or what? You gonna kill us?" Alisa let's out a small gasp and Dean chuckles lightly. "See, I can read people. I know you may seem like the big bad wolf," Dean leans in closer, despite the blade being held up to his neck, "but you're no better than the three little pigs. You're a coward."

Sam decides it would be the good opportunity to play good cop. He begins to speak to her in a soft tone of voice, "Alisa. Put the knives down. This isn't worth it." As she is resting her arms, Dean flips out; he grabs her and slams her head into the other window, shattering it on impact and making her pass out. Sam is so shocked, he can't do anything but sit back and watch. Dean began moving towards the back seat, but Sam stopped him, forcing Dean against the dashboard. "Dean! What the hell are you doing?" Sam glances down to see the Mark on Dean's arm glowing.

Sam lets his brother go, easing Dean back into his seat, securing him with the seat belt. Sam lets out a heavy sigh and lays Alisa down on the back seat.

He begins to speak as Dean is letting out heavy, deep breaths. "Dean, just relax. Dunno what came over you but we'll talk about this later." Sam turn on the communication device. The first thing he hears is demonic growling and men grunting. "Destiny?" The next thing after that he hears is a fairly loud splatter. Sam is completely lost, as he shouts her name a bit louder. The following sounds he hears consist of gunshots and fists landing on people. Then complete silence. "Destiny? Destiny?! What the hell is going on?"

He hears a vaguely familiar voice come back through the receiver. They said,

"Sam." He draws in a sharp breath and swallows hard.

"Where uh. . .where is uh. . ."

"Dead."

". . .you-"

meanwhile

A hand latches onto Scarlet's arm. The force of her being held back launches Destiny through the door. Destiny's body went flailing around like a rag doll for a few feet before finally settling at the base of a tree. The demon who grabbed her punches her in the face before also tossing her out of the door.

As she struggles to her feet, about five demons surround her. She says, with a sly smirk, "You fellas forget that we're outside now." As she clenches her demon fist, it glows radiantly as does the purple talisman, now dangling around her neck. She slowly stretches her arm out. When it is fully extended, thunder booms and lightning screeches just as the Red Queen appears in her left hand. The sword seems to create traces of red lightning bolts on its appearance. It begins to pour down rain as she opens her eyes. There appears to be some sort of light blue, soft aura surrounding Scarlet's head. "When you're ready, come and get it."

Two demons launch themselves towards Scarlet. The phantom from her demon arm stretches out and grabs one of the demons and crushes it, dropping the lifeless corpse to the ground as the blood seeps from the cracks between her fingers, flickering orange. She revs Red Queen and slashes the other demon across the chest, spins in a full 360 and stops, sending the demon flying back into the building, knocking another two demons unconscious who were on the way out.

As she came to stand-still, water falls with a heavy impact around her as if her power itself caught a hold of it and released. Scarlet eyed the demons, the blood lust building within, and yells out with her demonic voice merged with her own, "Come on!" Scarlet is dripping wet, soaked not only in rain but also demon blood. She stabs her sword into the ground and revs it twice, sending slush and mud flying backwards, as if to intimidate the demons.
