Supernatural: Savior

Chapter 5

When Dean blinked his eyes again, everyone was there. Even his car was there, but Faith wasn't.

"Faith, Faith!" Everyone called. Then, Sam suddenly collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach.

"Sammy," Dean said.

"It's Famine, he's here," Cass said.

"You think he has Faith," Dean asked.

"If he does, he knows we're coming."

"Then we need to move. We need to get Faith and cut Famine's finger off before his hunger spreads throughout the town," Dean said.

"It's too late," Sam said, "I think I'm hungry for it."

"Hungry for what," Bobby asked.

"I think you know," Sam replied.

"Demon blood? Demon blood, Cass, you've got to get him out of here. Get Ellen, Jo, Sam, Rufus, and Bobby out of here."

"Dean no, we can help," Ellen protested.

"Ellen, you will kill to get what you long for. It's safer back at Bobby's," Dean said. Ellen sighed and nodded.

Cass walked up to Sam, Bobby, Ellen, Rufus, and Jo and said, "I'll meet you back here in two minutes." Dean nodded and then they were gone. When Cass came back, he'd been gone for one minute.

"Well, you certainly wasted no time," Dean said.

"If Famine has Faith, then he knows what we're after. He'll pull her grace from her body and devour it."

"Then where is he," Dean demanded.

"I don't know, Dean, I don't know. If I knew I would've cut his finger off already."

Dean sighed, "Ok where would Famine be?"

"Well, he's hungry, so a restaurant."

"Cass there's like fifty restaurants in town. How are we supposed to know which one?" Dean asked.

"It'll be a fast food chain on the outskirts of town. That's how he likes it," Cass said.

"So what restaurants would that be," Dean asked.

"Pizzo's Corner, Taco Mayo, or Biggerson's; where do you want to start?"

Dean looked around and sighed, "Well, we're on west Main so let's head over to Taco Mayo, then Biggerson's, and then Pizzo's Corner." Dean went to get in the driver's seat in his car as Cass got into the passenger seat. Dean drove to Taco Mayo to find no one there. The blinds were closed and the place looked deserted. "What do you think?" Dean asked.

"I don't know. If Famine has her grace I should feel it, but I don't."

"Let's check anyway," Dean said. He didn't want to not look for Faith and then end up that she was there the whole time. Dean brought his gun with him into the restaurant. Cass broke the glass on the door and unlocked it. When they walked into the dining room, there were dead bodies everywhere.

"We're too late. Famine's already been here," Cass stated.

"What happened to them," Dean asked.

"Famine eats the souls of his victims."

"Why," Dean said.

"And then will come Famine, riding on a black steed. He will ride into the land of plenty. And great will be the horseman's hunger, for he is hunger. His hunger will seep out and poison the air, taking every soul with it. Famine is weak from the advances in agriculture so Lucifer sent demons to take care of him until he is ready to march."

"March where," Dean asked.

"To march across the land. It's obvious she's not here so let's go. We'll head over to Biggerson's," Cass said. They headed back to the car and began to drive unacquainted that they were about to get their biggest signal.

The pain was unbearable. Faith's body was throbbing and she couldn't move. Famine, who was in a wheelchair, moved closer to her. He was an old man with almost no hair. He was on a respirator and his voice was raspy.

"I'm going to offer you a deal, Faith. If you take it, great, if you don't I'll rip your grace from you and eat it." It was then that Faith saw the ring on Famine's finger.

"What's...the...deal?" Faith said, squinting through the pain.

"Join Lucifer's side. He promises that your family will have immunity during the apocalypse. What do you say?"

Faith sighed in pain and looked up at him, "You tell him that he can go back to hell."

"So be it," Famine said. He lifted his hand and Faith felt her grace being pulled out of her body. And then she saw it; her grace had been pulled out. It was a big ball of light; Faith took one look at it before passing out. However, her grace is a part of her and it was present. The grace then projected itself. The room lit up and was visible from the outside. The light was so bright that even Famine had to cover his eyes.

Her grace then screamed in Enochian, "Castiel! Castiel!" And then the light dissipated and went back to a basic ball of light. Famine moved his arm from his face and looked around. The demons were recovering and Faith's body was lifeless. Famine the lifted his hand and Faith's grace was compelled to move towards Famine. Her grace went into his mouth and Famine closed it.

"Delicious," Famine said.  Then, he heard the sound of a car pulling up. "Just in time," he said.
