Chapter 96-Saving Monica

Making our way to Monica's house as we pulled up to the driveway "maybe we could tell 'em it was a gas leak. Might get 'em out of the house for a few hours." Sam suggested "yeah, and how many times has that actually worked for us?"Dean asked him "yeah. We could always tell 'em the truth." Sam said as they looked at each other for a moment, considering the suggestion,"nah!" They said in unison "I know, I know. I just...with what's coming for these people.." Sam said.

"Sam, we only got one move, and you know it, all right? We gotta wait for that demon to show itself, and then we get it before it gets them." Dean said "I wonder how Dad's doing." Sam said "I'd feel a lot better if we were there backing him up." Dean said "I'd feeling a lot better if he were here backing us up." Sam said as Dean nodded and then turned back to the
house "this is weird." Sam said "what?" Dean asked "after all of these years, we're finally here. It doesn't seem real." Sam said.

"We just gotta keep our heads and do our job, like always." Dean said "yeah, but this isn't like always." Sam said "true." Dean said turning back to the house "Dean...uh...I wanna thank you." Sam said "for what?" Dean asked him "for everything. You've always had my back, you know? Even when I couldn't count on anyone, I could always count on you. And uh...I don't know. I just wanted to let you know. Just in case." Sam said "don't do that,." I interjected "yeah, are you kidding me?" Dean asked as Sam looked back and forth between Dean and me.

"What?" He asked "don't say just in case something happens to you. I don't wanna hear that friggin' speech, man. Nobody's dying tonight. Not us, not that family, nobody. Except that demon. That evil son of a bitch ain't getting any older than tonight, you understand me?" Dean said sternly as Sam nodded reluctantly, and Dean went back to staring at the house "hey, isn't Dad supposed to have called by now?" I asked spotting the time as Dean looked at the clock nodding as he picked up his phone and called Dad.

"Dad's not answering." He said as he shook his head and then hung up "maybe Meg was late. Maybe cell reception's bad." Sam said as Dean shook his head "yeah, well-." Dean said "Dean, wait...listen." Sam said as he turned the radio up noticing there was static coming and going almost immediately after Sam turned the radio up, the wind started to pick up and the lights down the street and in the house began flickering "it's coming." Sam said as they jumped out of the car and ran toward the house as I watched from the car as Sam and Dean unlocked the front door and walked in.

Nothing happened for a few minutes until I heard a gunshot. At that point, it took everything in me to not run into the house, but I decided the boys would probably be safer without a distraction. Moments later, a light flashed in one of the rooms, and then flames exploded and shattered the window. A man came running out of the front door as I jumped out of the car and ran over to him "where are my brothers?!" I yelled as the entire house burst into flames making the man turned to me as he put his hands on my shoulders, and shook me.

"Who are you, people? What have you done to my family?!" The man yelled "we're trying to help you!" I yelled out as the man turned as Monica and my brothers ran out of the house "you get away from my family!" He yelled as he let go of me and ran over to them, fists clenched as Monica blocked him from charging Sam "no!Charlie don't. They saved us." Monica said as Dean handed Monica her baby "thank you." She said as her husband pulled her and their baby into him.

We turned back to the burning house and watched the disaster, but then a dark silhouette appeared in a window on the top floor as Sam started to rush back to the house "it's still in there!" Sam shouted as Dean grabbed his arm and pulled him back "Sam. Sam, no!" Dean yelled "Dean, let me go. It's still in there." Sam said as he tried to pull himself from Dean's grip "no. It's burning to the ground. It's suicide!" Dean yelled "I don't care!" Sam yelled, still struggling "I do!" Dean yelled, pushing him back as we watched as the demon's silhouette disappeared. Then we quickly made our way back to the motel before the police and firefighters showed up.

[......]
Sam and I sat on the beds and watched Dean pace as he called Dad for the tenth time "come on, Dad, answer your phone, damn it. Somethings wrong." Dean said frustrated as I watched him anxiously making Dean lock eyes with me and then looked past me to Sam "you hear me?Somethings wrong." Dean said while Sam stared at the floor "if you had just let me go in there, I could'a ended all this." Sam angrily said.

"Sam, the only thing you would have ended was your life." Dean said "you don't know that." Sam snapped "so, what, you're just willing to sacrifice yourself, is that it?" Dean asked him as Sam stood up "yeah. Yeah, you're damn right I am." Sam snapped "well, that's not going to happen, not as long as I'm around." Dean replied "what the hell are you talking about, Dean? We've been searching for this demon our whole lives. It's the only thing we've ever cared about." Sam said as Dean sighed "Sam, I wanna waste it. I do. Okay?But it's not worth dying over." Dean said "what?" Sam asked.

"I mean it. If hunting this demon means getting yourself killed, then I hope we never find the damn thing." Dean replied "that thing killed Jess! That thing killed Mom!" Sam yelled "you said yourself once that no matter what we do, they're gone, and they're never coming back." Dean said poking his chest harshly as Sam shoved Dean against the wall, tugging at his shirt collar making me stand up and watch not knowing what to do "don't you say that, not you! Not after all this, don't you say that!" Sam yelled.

"Sam, look. The four of us....that's all we have.....and it's all I have. Sometimes I feel like I'm barely holding it together, man...and without you, Ads or Dad..." Dean said calmly as Sam let him go "Dad." Sam muttered as he turned away and rubbed his face while Dean took a deep breath "he should have called by now. Try him again."Sam said with tears in his eyes as Dean dialed Dad's number and raised the phone to his ear, and after a moment, he looked over at us with fear in his eyes.

"Where is he?"
