Only a Year: The Demon Within

--------

Sam

July 11, 2008

Two months. It's been two months since I've lost them. I've poured myself over every book, every piece of lore that I could find and nothing, not one damn thing, not even a demon will deal.

It's all bullshit.

The silent room makes it easy for me to hear the vibrations coming from inside my bag. Moving from the spot on the chair that has molded to my ass by now, I dig through it until I reach the source and pull it free – Elena's phone. At this point she has hundreds of missed calls and texts from her friends and family. I know I should tell them that she's gone, or hell, text them and pretend to be her and tell them everything is fine, but I don't have the heart or stomach to.

I throw her phone back in bag and run my hands through my hair attempting to smooth out the disheveled mess when it hits me. I grab the phone back out of the bag and unlock it so I can look through her contacts. I locate the person I knew I needed to find.

I scribble down the address on my notepad then rip it free. Twenty minutes later the room is packed up and I'm throwing everything into the trunk of the Impala.

It's a long shot, I know it, but right now it's my only shot and I'm going to take it.

The familiar driveway sends chills down my spine. I put the Impala into park, remove the key from the ignition, open the door and step onto the pavement. It only takes me a few strides to reach the door but I can't seem to make my arm function enough to knock. But by some stroke of dumb luck the door swings open without me having to touch it, bringing me face to face with Elena's younger brother, Jeremy.

"Sam? What are you doing here?" Jeremy asks looking at me, then around me. "Where's my sister? And your brother?"

Uncomfortably I shift my weight on my feet before finding my voice and answer. "Can I come in? We need to talk."

His eyes pour into me before nodding and opening the door wider. I step inside and my eyes immediately fall onto a photo of Elena and Jeremy; it takes everything in me not to tear up.

"Where's my sister?" Jeremy doesn't hesitate to ask again. At this point I'm past asking for permission, I don't have it in me - I just flop down on their couch, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Jeremy follows my lead and sits in a chair across from me.

"She's gone, Jer."

"Gone? What do you mean gone?"

"She thought that..." I pause as the memories come flooding back.

"Lena, what are you doing?"

"She thought that if the hellhounds that were coming for Dean took another soul before they got to him, they would let his soul go."
