² Deception - Dean Winchester

Thirty-One

Jenny, Susan, Sam and Dean had all rushed up the stairs to the play room. As Susan was fumbling to get the right key, Sam and Dean pulled Jenny aside.

"How long have you been able to actually see ghosts?" Dean asked in a somewhat harsh tone, Jenny's eyes widening as she shrugged.

"I don't know! We haven't been on a ghost case for a bit and I didn't actually see them last time unless you guys did." Jenny looked back to Susan, who was mumbling to herself nervously as she kept inserting the wrong keys.

"Jenny, you don't think this has anything to do with what Gordon said, right?" Sam questioned as Jenny thought for a moment, unsure. "What if this started when your brother— the demon— whoever it was... Contacted you?"

"That's impossible, Sam. There's no way a mental phone call could do that." Jenny scoffed, though the thought was now stuck in her mind.

"I got it!" Susan burst through the door, the four entering to find many broken porcelain dolls on the ground. "Oh my god."

Susan ran out of the room yelling for Tyler, rushing back in with a panic. "She's not in here!" Jenny rushed to the door leading to Rose' room, stopping at the landing.

Rushing back down, Jenny shook her head. "They aren't in Rose's room... But she looks horrified." Sam turned to Susan, outstretching his hand as he thought.

"Susan. Tell us what you know about Maggie." Sam demanded, Susan shaking her head as she couldn't come up with anything.

"Uh, not much. Um, Tyler's been talking about her since Mom got sick."

"Okay, did you ever know anyone by that name?" Sam continued on, but Susan shook her heads

"C'mon, Susan, think! We're running out of time! Someone that's lived here, someone that's died here anyone!" Jenny raised her voice, now worried about the child she had never spoken to.

Susan turned away for a moment, her eyes widening in a realization. "Oh my god. My mom. My mom had a sister named Margaret. She barely spoke about her."

"Did Margaret happen to die here when she was a kid?" Sam asked, Susan nodded.

"She drowned in the pool." The four didn't waste much time sprinting to the pool, though with how fast the three hunters were compared to Susan, they had to run a little slower so she could lead the way.

Susan rushed the three outside and past the gardens to the pool house, Sam and Dean slamming into the doors only to realize they were locked.

While the Winchester brothers and Susan could only see Tyler standing on the outside of the railing, Jenny could see Maggie, edging the poor girl to jump.

"Tyler!" Susan screamed as Sam, Dean and Jenny tried breaking the door, but it would budge. "Tyler!"

"Is there a back door?!" Dean yelled as Susan nodded. They all stopped for a moment as Jenny saw Maggie throw Tyler into the pool.

"Screw it we don't have time for this!" Jenny pulled out the gun that had been hiding in her belt behind her, shooting at the glass a few times before it finally broke.

Jenny ran straight through the broken glass, making a giant leap over the railing and into the covered pool. As Sam, Dean and Susan all rushed downstairs, Jenny struggled to get to Tyler, who was being held under the water by Maggie.

She was finally able to get the girl away from the spirit, lifting her out of the water and over her shoulder. "I got her!" Jenny yelled, crawling her way back to the edge of the pool.

Sam took Tyler as Dean helped Jenny out of the pool, everyone waiting for only a moment before Tyler coughed up water. Susan gasped in relief, picking her daughter up and cradled her.
