10 - Meeting in the Dark

By the time Bobby parked the Impala by the side of a road in the heart of Lawrence, both brothers had fallen asleep in the back seat. 24 hours in Hell obviously doesn't give you much rest because it didn't take long before Sam was out, lying on his side with his head next to Dean's lap. Dean soon had followed, fallen asleep sitting with a hand resting on his brother's head.
"You know, I don't think this plan will work. She's not stupid you know," Bobby leaned back in the seat and looked over at the unusually calm Trickster.
"Well neither am I. This will work unless you mess it up," the Trickster pointed his finger at Bobby and stepped out of the car.
"Where's Trixie going?" Dean's voice made Bobby turned around to face the one awakened Winchester. Dean rubbed sleep out his eyes with one hand and pushed the bangs out of Sam's eyes with the other.
"We're here and so is Lilith," Bobby explained as Sam also awakened,
"The Trickster is going to find out just which body she possesses."
"Hope not another child," Sam mumbled and twisted his neck a little. Nobody answered, but it was like a silent agreement. Demons possessing innocent humans was bad enough, but when they went after kids...
All three hunters jumped in their seats as the Trickster came back and banged a fist on the car roof.
"Does Lilith have a fetish for little kids?" the demi-god looked from Bobby to the Winchesters and got his answer just by their look,
"I guess so. In that case, bad news. She's possessing some red haired twelve year old girl down the street and she have killed the girl's brother, aunt, mother, father..." the Trickster started summing up the deaths carelessly,
"Oh and the dad's mistress of course."
"Can't you just pretend that you care a little bit?" Sam muttered angry as they stepped out of the car. They had parked on a lonely road just around the corner from a street with pretty houses, colorful flowers and fresh green trees.
"What? I care enough to see that this Demon Bitch fits well onto my list of pompous dicks. In this case a d-..." Bobby shut the Trickster up and took a deep breath.
"Now if you don't mind, can we get going before she finds out we're onto her?"

Dean closed the door behind him as he and Sam entered the old building. First they had gone to look for Lilith in the home of the little girl she was possessing, but when they came there it was deserted. And a bloodbath. They had left the house quickly and as soon as they were far from it, they gave a tip to the police. Dean was quiet the whole time as he lurked around his childhood town with his little brother, trying to locate Lilith. So finally after hours searching for her, Sam led the way with Dean right behind as they moved slowly through the halls of a high school where the Trickster had explained Lilith were now taking residence.
"What I don't get is why she would stroll around on a deserted school..." Sam came to an abrupt halt and Dean collided right into his back.
"What was that for?" Dean rubbed his nose and looked up at his little brother.
"Maybe. Maybe she knows we're here already, maybe-" Sam was interrupted when a speaker beeped and a girl's voice could be heard over the school's classrooms and corridors.
"Took you're sweet time, Winchesters," the voice was sweet as sugar and the boys started to run along the corridors to try and find the headmaster's office.
"Now where are you two going?" Lilith's voice continued over the speaker as two doors out of the corridor closed,
"Maybe you should look for your grandpa before me?"
"He's not our grandpa!" Dean yelled. Sam silenced him with a stern look and a slap over the arm. The brothers started to bang at the doors, but they wouldn't budge.
"Let's split up," Sam didn't wait for an answer, but Dean grabbed his arm.
"Dude, do you ever watch movies? How often is splitting up a smart idea?" the big brother stared his little brother down.
"This isn't a movie, Dean! Lilith might have Bobby, which means the Trickster either sucks when it comes to demons or he has bailed on us! It goes a lot faster if we split up and you know it," Sam took a deep breath and looked for somewhere else Lilith might be hiding Bobby.
"Fine. Be careful!" Dean meant it, but hurried off before Sam could create a chick flick.

"She's in the gym," the Trickster announced matter-of-factly as he strolled behind Bobby, who was carrying the colt in his waistband.
"You can see through walls now?"
"Nope, but I just know it. Wanna bet?" the Trickster walked past Bobby and stopped in front of a door that was at the end of the corridor and was a little larger then the rest. He signaled for Bobby to be quiet as he slowly opened the door. The smaller man vanished into the huge, dark gym and Bobby quietly followed. The old hunter squinted up at a large clock on the wall.
"11.47pm. We have to hurry," Bobby whispered as he turned around just to find the Trickster nowhere to be seen.
"Why hello there. Don't think I've met you yet," Bobby turned around and pulled out the colt in the same move. He barely had time to catch a glimpse of red hair before he was hurled across the wide room by an invisible, but all too known force.
Bobby grunted as he landed heavy on the floor, his old body screaming against the rough handling. The colt had been thrown another way and Bobby had no chance in finding it in this darkness.
"What are you and the Winchesters doing here?" a young, pretty redheaded girl was suddenly standing beside the fallen hunter. Bobby gasped in pain as he moved his right leg. It must have been broken by the feeling of it.
"Leave me alone. I'm not the one you want," Bobby pushed himself into a sitting position, but Lilith held out a hand and Bobby fell back on his back.
"True, but as a friend of them I expect you know where they are," the pretty girl Lilith was possessing was wearing a pretty black dress and had her long, red hair in a pigtail. She stared at Bobby, but the man refused to answer.
"Fine. There's no point in keeping you then," she raised her hand again, her eyes rolled back in her head so there was only white to be seen.
"Now wait a little, crazy horse," Lilith turned around and lowered her hand when she saw the Trickster on the other end of the gym, in front of the Winchester brothers. Lilith smiled wide and skipped across the room, leaving Bobby behind in the dark.
"I admit I have no idea why someone like you would be here, Trickster, but thank you for bringing those silly brothers," Lilith came to a halt just a few meters away from the coat clothed Trickster.
"Oh I didn't bring them. They came along with me actually," he stepped aside a little so that Lilith was facing both brothers.
"That pathetic thing of a crossroad demon broke her deal with Sam," Dean crossed his arm across his chest and looked down at the much smaller host Lilith was possessing,
"But you know that don't you?"
"Of course I knew, but what are you going to do about it? Begging me to let you out of it? I'd like to see that," Lilith grinned and looked Dean in the eyes with the once so innocent ones.
"No we're not going to beg for it. You're going to let us out. A deal is a deal and you broke it, therefore..." Dean was cut off by a flick of Lilith's hands.
"Okay," Lilith smiled satisfied.
"Okay?" Dean looked over his shoulder at Sam before raising an eyebrow and turning to Lilith again,
"Okay, just like that?"
"Yep, I'll release you from your deal," and with that she raised her right arm towards Sam and twisted her hand around quickly. Dean heard it before he saw it. A snap of bones breaking forced Dean to spin around just as Sam collapsed to the floor lifeless, neck broken.
"NO!" Dean screamed and instinctively pulled out his gun, useless against any demons and sent a bullet straight into the girl's heart. Lilith barely moved by the impact of the bullet.
"Yes!" she laughed as she repeated the hand move and for the second time that night, a neck snapped and Lilith claimed another victim.
"Our deal is completed."
11.59pm.
