One More Night- A Dean Winchester Love Story *COMPLETE*

Chapter 18

I told the boys about my escape from hell on the drive back to the motel. I left out pretty much everything involving Mikey though. That's not a conversation I want to have with Dean right now. When we reached the motel the three of us exited the Impala. When we got inside Dean started filling me in on the details of the case they were working. I could tell by the look on Sam's face that it was the most Dean had talked since I'd been gone. I agreed to help, more than happy to get something done after being held against my will for so long.

Sam got a call from the police later that night, they'd found one of the teens dead in a ditch not far from where they'd disappeared. I got my gun and knife from my bag that the boys had been carrying around before joining them outside. Before we could make it to the Impala at least a dozen dark figures stepped out of the shadows of the dimly lit parking lot.

"Demons." Dean said, confirming what I already knew.

I could feel their presence getting more intense as they stepped towards us. I took a quick count, there were thirteen, too many for the three us to take on without getting hurt. Anger welled up inside of me. Crowley wants to try to drag me back down to hell and hold me hostage there again. I'm not letting him take me away a second time, and this time I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

I let the anger take over and tapped into my inner strength like Rowena had taught me to with witchcraft.

Sam's P.O.V.

Dean took out the demon killing knife while I prepared myself to start saying exorcisms. I'm not sure how effective it would be against this many but I could at least be a distraction. Leah, on the other hand, wasn't doing anything. She stood very still in the same spot she'd stopped in. Her eyes were closed, a look of focus on her face. The demons were getting closer, taking their time to get to us since they knew we were behind a rock and a hard place. Suddenly Leah's eyes opened, they weren't the clear blue they had always been. They were red, the exact same as Crowley's.

"You should run." Leah said softly in a voice that sounded like liquid honey.

After a second Dean grabbed my arm and we took her advice. The sound of Leah's voice made me look over my shoulder as we ran for cover.

"Tell him that I won't be coming back!" She shouted.

All at once every single demon's smirk was replaced with a look of intense pain. I stopped running to watch in shock. One by one the demons dropped to their knees, their jaws wrenched open by some unseen force. Black smoke poured out of all of them and disappeared into the night sky. The people the demon's had possessed were still lying in the parking lot. Leah weaved back and forth violently for a moment before dropping to the ground.

"Leah!" Dean shouted as he ran to help his unconscious, half-demon girlfriend.

Leah's P.O.V.

I came to in a comfortable bed. I blinked a few times trying to remember what had happened after I'd summoned all of my strength. I tried to sit up but was hit with a wave of dizziness so intense I immediately fell back. I heard a chair scrape as someone got up. Dean appeared over me, he was so fuzzy looking I didn't believe he was there. My arm felt like it was full of lead but I managed to lift it up and touch Dean's arm. He felt real.

Dean grabbed my hand and squeezed tightly. "Thank God you're awake. How are you feeling?"

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked, my voice sounding strange and hoarse.

"You've been in and out for two days." Dean answered, still holding my hand tightly. "Cas said the effort to exorcise all of those demons nearly killed you."

"Feels like it." The room seemed to spin slower if I closed my eyes, so I kept them shut. "What happened in Missouri with the case? Where are we now?"

"Cas and Sammy took care of it. A minor nature God, he did not appreciate the mess the teens were leaving behind."

I nodded my head slowly like this was just another day.

"We're at a friend's house, in Sioux Falls."

"Wait. Where Bobby lived?" I asked, remembering the tales of the old drunk I'd heard. The man that had been a father figure to Sam and Dean.

"Yeah. Jody was a friend of his and now one of ours. You needed a stable place to recuperate, somewhere that Crowley wouldn't immediately think to go."

Before I could think of something to say I heard the door creak open. I opened my eyes to see a nice looking woman with short brown hair. My vision had cleared enough to see her well.

"Sorry, I heard talking. Just wanted to see if our guest of honor was awake." The woman, who I assume was Jody said.

"Thank you." I said, unsure of what else to say.

"I ordered pizza, do you want me to bring you a couple slices?" Jody asked.

"Thank you for the offer but I want to try to get up and walk in there." I answered before trying to get up.

"You really need to stay down." Dean said quickly.

"I have to get up. I've been in bed for way too long." I sat up and swung my legs over to the side of the bed. My entire body felt like it was made of concrete, but I did it anyway.

When I looked down at my clothes I wasn't wearing what I had on before. I was in an old t-shirt that looked like one of Dean's and a pair of shorts.

Dean saw my look of confusion. "You were half awake, I dressed you." He explained.

I nodded, putting all of my effort into standing. I made it, my feet planted on the floor with all of my body upright. I took a couple steps and my knees started to give. Dean put his arm around my shoulders.

"I got it." I told him, trying to keep going on my own.

Dean let me struggle for a few more minutes before he picked me up bridal style. "I'll let you walk on your own back, but there's pizza waiting for us in the kitchen right now."

I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck.
