Hunter's Academy

Chapter ten

Sam looked up from the book he was reading and saw the look of anger on Dean's face. Something had happened while he had met up with his father and he didn't look happy about it.

"Let me guess," Sam said. "Meeting with your father didn't turn out so well?"

"You can read my mind, why don't you guess," Dean responded rudely. Sam read his brother's mind and saw what Dean had to do, and he couldn't help his smile.

"No freaking way, " Sam said. "You have to run the dance?"

"Shut up," Dean said and laid back on his bed. "I don't know the first thing about running a damn dance, let alone getting it ready," Sam still couldn't help but laugh before answering.

"So do you have to buy a mask or do I need to give you one?" Sam joked.

"I've got a mask already," Dean responded. "But I am not dressing up in a monkey suit," Sam blinked a few times. Dean running this whole masquerade ball thing might actually help them catch whoever was behind all this. It would be difficult and they would have to blend in, but it might be their only chance.

"Forget the monkey suits De, chances are the summoner is going to the dance so we have to catch them," Sam responded. "That also means we're going to have to blend in," Dean knew what his brother meant, and before he could even protest Sam dragged him out of their room. "Don't argue with me, during a ball you have to wear formal clothes"

"Where the hell are we going?!" Dean exclaimed.

"To a suit store," Sam said simply but seeing as how there was no way to argue with Sam, the two had left the school and went into town to get themselves some suits for the ball. Dean made an annoyed face the second they arrived at the menswear store. "Why the long face Dean?" He asked.

"Because we're going shopping," Dean answered, crossing his arms over his chest, Sam laughed seeing as how he kind of figured who the youngest out of the two of them was. "What?"

"Nothing, I just find you being grumpy, funny," Sam responded as he pushed the door open. "Maybe I'll find a mask that matches your brooding nature,"

"Or maybe I'll be tucked away in a suit or even ditch that lame dance," Dean answered. "Shouldn't we focus on trying to find the summoner at that dance? Or are we here to play dress up," he continued. "In case you haven't noticed, I've never been to a school dance, let alone know how to dance," Dean didn't realize that they had an audience. So he picked out one of the suits and threw it at his twin brother. Sam grimaced when he felt the pain once Dean got hit.

"What is he going on about?" The lady at the check-out asked.

"Sorry my brother is a little crazy, can you tell us where the masks are?" Sam asked, thinking quickly.

"Crazy?" Dean thought "I am not crazy.."

"In the seasonal section," the cashier said and pointed them toward a large seasonal section with costumes and even masks hanging on some hooks. Sam could still hear his brother complaining about what a waste of time this was. He groaned as he grabbed a black mask and a white one that was nearly identical. The only difference was the black mask had silver lines while the white had gold.

"Save your complaints for later now, wear this, " Sam said tossing him the white mask. "Besides we are killing two birds with one stone and it's fun," Meanwhile back in the hidden hallway of hunter's academy, Lilith began including the different ingredients needed to bring forth the darkness. Everything that had gone down since her time at the school would all come together during the masquerade ball. While she was working on it Carmen was growing impatient that her aunt was taking forever.

"Is there a problem dearie?" Lilith asked.

"I'm tired of waiting. I want my revenge," Carmen responded. "Can't we just summon her now?"

"We've only killed one person," Lilith said. "If you want to help and stop complaining why don't you go and kill seven more people," she continued. "And leave me in peace, maybe start with Sam and Dean's birth mother, we need as much killing as we possibly can and we can't just use the chupacabra all the time, I have already sent it to kill their adopted parents,"

"Auntie, that's so clever and evil, I admire your skills," Carmen said, clearly impressed. "Shall I kill their mother?" She asked letting her sharp teeth appear.

"If it'll get you off my back then yes," Lilith said with a groan. "Just leave me here to do my work!" Carmen nodded and walked out the door. The siren put her teeth away and hid a knife in her black dress. While she preferred not to get her hands dirty, Carmen wanted to make the death slow and painful. She came across Mary's office and knocked on the door.

"Ma'am are you there? I need help," Carmen cried. She didn't have to wait long as Mary answered immediately. Mary saw Carmen standing outside her office and saw the fake tears that Carmen just so happened to have. Being a hunter herself she knew what was happening but decided to play along with Carmen.

"Sure sweetie, is there anything I can do for you?" Mary asked.

"Beg for your life," Carmen whispered, letting her teeth come out again. Immediately Mary pulled out her pepper spray and sprayed Carmen in the face causing the siren to cry out and wipe her eyes. Seeing that she was distracted Mary proceeded to kick the siren against one of the nearby counters and ran out of her office. Carmen groaned in annoyance as she ran after Mary whom she hadn't expected to know how to fight. Carmen revealed her dagger and tried to stab Mary with it, however, Mary was able to evade each attack and block the siren from using her blade. Mary was backed against one of the surgical tables as Carmen tore the blade from Mary's hands and attempted to strike her with it but Mary turned and kicked the table toward Carmen.

"You can't escape me bitch!" Carmen yelled. "My aunt will find a way to get the darkness from coming whether you like it or not! No twins are going to get in our way!" Mary tried to run once again, but that didn't turn out so well as she tripped and fell onto the floor with a groan. Carmen grabbed Mary by the leg and dragged her over so that she was under Carmen. "Nowhere to run now," said Carmen. Mary didn't have a chance to say anything before she was stabbed in the stomach soiling the floor with Mary's blood and for good measure, Carmen bit down on Mary's arm making sure that she had been dead. She stood and wiped her mouth knowing that there was no other way that Mary could have survived that, which also meant that the brothers would find her dead when they arrived. "So much for being there for your children,"
