Supernatural: Something Wicked This Way Returns

Something Wicked This Way Returns Part 3

All over town, random people were being possessed by demons. The town's population wasn't very big, only a few hundred people, but by 9 p.m. a good third of the town had been possessed, largely due to the demon Meg calling in every favor she could.

This was the first stop on Meg's tour of killing everyone that Sam and Dean Winchester had ever saved, and she was going to start off with a bang. There were 8 children in the town who been survivors of a Shtriga, a soul sucking demon. The Winchesters had killed the monster and saved the children before moving on, and now Meg was going to fix that.

With the help of the Horseman Pestilence, Meg had infected the children with a prototype version of the Croatoan virus, and now the children were edging closer to death, with the only thing keeping them from the full effects of the virus being Pestilence himself.

By the end of the night, most of the town would be possessed, ready to keep the Winchesters at bay if they showed up. And currently the only ones who had any idea of what was really going on were two teenage boys, who were finding out just how much trouble they were in.

In the motel office, the demon possessed body of Meg laughed as the cloud of black smoke headed toward Michael, intending to possess him. The office walls shook as sparks started flying out of the lights above, lighting the carpet on fire. But as the black smoke started forcing it's way into the boy's mouth, he started coughing and hacking the smoke back up.

"What? That's impossible!" Meg shouted as the black smoke filtered back out of the office to find a body it could possess.

"I've got my tricks too, you demon bitch," Michael said in a raspy voice as he lifted up his shirt to reveal an anti-possession sigil on his upper chest. "Just... don't tell my mom I got this."

Evan Sr. dragged his son into the office by the hair and flung him across the room, knocking him over the desk as the fire started to quickly spread. Michael went to help his friend as Evan Sr. pulled out a knife and started scratching at the devil's trap where Meg was trapped. Meg smirked as she calmly stepped out of it.

"Mmm. you chose well," Meg smiled at Evan Sr.'s muscular body. "Let's skin these brats, I haven't done anything really fun since I got here."

Meg looked toward the desk, where Michael and Evan had vanished, having escaped through the back door. The fire was starting to really get out of control as Meg looked at Evan Sr.

"I know where they're headed," Meg told him. "If we hurry, we can a surprise waiting for them when they arrive."

"You going to be okay?" Michael asked he helped Evan walk. He was limping since he'd been injured after having been tossed across the room.

"I hurt my leg," Evan said. The two boys looked back at the motel, where the fire was quickly spreading. He saw Michael's eyes tearing up. "I'm sorry."

"My little brother, my home, she's taking it all," Michael said, his voice cracking. "We have to stop her."

"How?" Evan asked. "We have nothing to fight back with. And now she's starting to have other people possessed. We're outnumbered."

"Outnumbered, but not outsmarted," Michael said. "You have the exorcism print-out?"

"In my pocket," Evan said as he noticed people slowly gathering around them. "Oh damn."

"They've all been possessed," Michael said as Evan saw his own mother among the possessed. "We need to go, now!"

"I can't run!" Evan shouted. "Just leave me! I have to try to get through to her!"
