someone to stay, supernatural [ 1 ]

051. demon blood

It's nighttime and lightly raining. Dean pulls up to a diner and parks outside of it.

"Hey, don't forget the extra onions this time, huh?" Dean says, handing Sam some money.

"Nooo." Natalie whines.

"No onions!" Ophelia huffs.

"Dude, we're the ones who're gonna have to ride in the car with your extra onions." Sam complains and Dean grins. Sam gets out and opens the back door, getting Libby out of her car seat and holding her.

"Hey, see if they're got any pie." Dean says. Sam glares at his brother as he shuts Libby's door. "Bring me some pie!" Dean calls after his retreating brother. "I love me some pie." Dean turns the radio up.

"Yeah, we know." Natalie mumbles, rolling her eyes.

After a few moments, the music turns to static. Dean taps it, trying to see if that'll help, but nothing works. He looks around and messes with the radio a bit more, but it turns off. He looks up and finds the inside of the diner empty.

"You two stay here." Dean tells his sister and daughter.

"What? Why?" Natalie asks.

"Just stay with the defenseless six year old, okay?" Dean orders.

"Well, that was uncalled for." Ophelia pouts as Dean gets out of the car.

Dean goes into the diner, finding Sam and Libby gone, and everybody else dead.

"This is it. All demonic signs and omens over the past month." Bobby says, laying the map across the car. Ophelia is sitting in the Impala, tired from feeling the worry of the others, it only making her own anxiety worse.

"Are you joking? There's nothing here." Dean says.

"Exactly." Bobby says.

"Well, come on, there's gotta be something. What about the-the-- the normal, low level stuff? You know, exorcisms, that kind of thing." Dean says.

"That's what I'm telling you -- there's nothing. It's completely quiet." Bobby says.

"Well, are we supposed to look for Sam and Libby? What, do we just close our eyes and point?" Dean asks. His phone rings. "Ash, what do you got?"

"Okay, listen, it's a big negatory on Sam--"

"Oh, come on, man! You've gotta give us something. We're looking at a three thousand mile haystack there."

"Listen, Dean. I did find something."

"Well, what?"

"I can't talk over this line, Dean."

"Come on, I don't have time for this!"

"Make time, okay? Because this-- what's up? What's going on?" Ash asks a passing guy. "Not only does this almost definitely help you find your brother and niece, this... ah, it's huge. So get here. Now." He hangs up.

"I guess we're going to the roadhouse. Come on." Dean says.

Libby lets out a small groan as she wakes up. She sits up, looking around and finding herself surrounded by trees. She looks around, freezing and her eyes widen when she recognizes Azazel in front of her.

"Look who's awake. Nice of you to join the living." Azazel evilly grins.

"No. No. Daddy." Libby whimpers, looking around, hoping to find her dad.

"Sorry, sweetheart. Daddy isn't here." Azazel mockingly pouts.

"I want my daddy!" Libby screams.

"I want your daddy, too. I want him to win." Azazel says.
