Killing Me Slowly (Third Book to the Secrets Will Kill You Series)

Souls Are Inevitable Part 2

When I started to come to, I realized I was tied up and on the floor, leaning against some hay. My vision came back to me and I saw Bobby was tied to a chair with Sam and Brittney in front of him.

"Listen to me, you don't want to do this. I'm been like a father to you both. Somewhere inside you, you've got to know that" Bobby tried.

"Well, that's just it" Brittney replied.

"I'm sorry" Sam said and raised a knife, ready to slit Bobby's throat.

"No!" I yelled, pleading.

Then, I felt a familiar presence and then I saw Dean come from out of nowhere and punch Brittney and Sam so they were knocked out.

"Hey, guys. I'm back" he said, simply. I sighed with relief.

That is the last time I take a nap.

Dean quickly untied Bobby and then he untied me as well and I shot to my feet and wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him, thanking God that he was back. We all got Brittney and Sam back to Bobby's, put them in the panic room, side by side on the bed and handcuffed them both to the bars on the bed.

"We cant keep doing this...just trying them up every time they try to kill somebody..." I said.

"You're right...I mean they're..." Dean started.

"Capable of anything" Bobby filled in for him.

"What are we supposed to do here?"

"I don't know" Bobby sighed.

I opened the flap to stare in at them both as Dean put his face by mine so he could do the same and they both woke up to stare back at us...but then Dean just shut the flap and we walked away.

"So...I'm guessing it was harder than expected" I said.

"You have no idea" he sighed as we walked up the stairs.

When we reached the top, I grabbed his hand so we were facing each other in the hallway. "What happened?"

So, he started to tell me how the first two were easy...a thief was robbing a man's deli and he was threatening to shoot the man's kid...but then the man shot the robber instead and the robber died...after Dean let him suffer for a few minutes which I was okay with. Son of a bitch deserved it. Then, the next one was a guy who had a heart attack while he was eating pizza...but then the next one was a little girl with a serious heart condition. Her dad was there with her and they were looking through pictures and talking about a big vacation that they were going to go on.

The dad didn't have any other family...and Dean refused to take that little girl's spirit...which cost a nurse's life...which almost cost the nurse's husband's life...and that's when Dean took off the ring to save the husband. Then, he went back to take the little girl so no one else would die. Just watching him tell this story made me ache as I saw he was trying to prevent tears from falling.

"I saw how the guy reacted when his wife died and I couldn't even think about losing you...I-I cant..." he started to stammer.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm right here" I whispered.

I pulled him into me to hug him tightly and I grabbed some the hair on the back of his head into my hand to play with it as he hugged me tightly and he dug his face into my shoulder and the crook of my neck.

After a moment, I pulled away so I could put his face in my hands and kiss him. I could somehow feel the pain he was feeling...and this was only from the thought of losing me. I kind of really wish I did die so he would really see what it would be like...but then again, I would never wish for him to go through the pain I went through. I stared into his eyes for a long moment...but then I felt a strong presence coming from the kitchen. I grabbed his hand to follow me and we walked into the kitchen to see Death sitting at the table eating a hotdog.
