Chapter 22

Newt POV

I wake up to someone whimpering. I open my eyes slightly and see that it's still dark outside.

"Stop screaming! Stop!" Jakie complains tossing and turning, still seemingly asleep.

"Jakie! Wake up!" I shake her shoulder.

"I'm up!" She says breathlessly and I envelop her in a comforting hug. "Make the screaming stop!" She whimpers.

"Nobody's scream--" I start and hear the curdling cries of a male screaming next door.

I rush up to try to find where the screams are coming from as Jakie grabs my wrist to follow me. I pull her up and we make our way towards the sound which seems to be coming from Emily and Dean's room.

"Dean..." Jakie whispers under her breath.

We see Sam rushing down the hall to us, "Hellhounds..." Is all he says before barging into the room, coming out with a reluctantly following Emily.

"I knew this would happen." Emily sobs into her hands, collapsing on the floor.

"Knew what would happen?" I ask sitting down next to her.

"That the Hellhounds would come to collect my brother because he sold his soul to bring me back to life," Sam explains as I console my girlfriend's best friend.

"Oh..." Is all I can say and another scream reverberates through the house.

"We need to get somewhere safe," He orders us as we head back to Jakie and my room and barricade ourselves in after leading a confused Thomas, Minho, and Brenda there too.

"What's going on?" Brenda asks sitting on the bed.

"Dean's going to hell," I say bluntly and Emily shuts her eye trying to block everything out. 

Jakie sits down on the bed next to her and starts rubbing circles on her back consolingly. Soon, Emily's sobs turn into sniffles and after that, her breathing evens out so we know that she's asleep. Jakie gets up from the bed and I embrace her in a gentle hug knowing how close Emily and Dean are to her.

"I won't tell you 'it's gonna be okay,' because I honestly don't know if it will. I just know that I'll be here for you... always." I calm her as she starts to sniffle.

"Thank you... For not sugarcoating it and being honest." She smiles grimly.

"But I'm gonna do everything in my power to save him," Sam says rushing out the door and Jakie screams, reaching out for him not to go.

"Stop... You can't... I can't lose-- No, I won't lose you too!" She sobs. "Emily needs you right now!"

"Fine." He grumbles but I know that he's lying. "Jakie... I'm sorry but I have to go." Sam says rushing out of the door locking it behind him before we have time to grab him and keep him from leaving.

Sam POV

I rush out of Jakie's room and head next door to see my brother crumpled on the floor sobbing his eyes out.

"Dean!" I yell and run over to him, closing our distance in two strides. I crouch down to be eye level with my brother and place a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "What can I do?" I sniffle tears streaming down my face.

"Leave me." He begs through his tears. "Please... Sammy. Leave me!"

"NO!" I shout and look around the room as my brother screams again looking ahead. He seems as if he's looking at an invisible creature and shrinks into my open arms.
