Chapter five
The evening air was nice though a bit warm, there were no clouds and the multitudes of stars shone brightly above their heads. Dean stood looked up and felt a little dizzy. Looking at the vast sky and all those tiny white spots made him feel small, it was a weird feeling. They were at the footsteps of Terrence's house about to go inside. Dean stopped looking up when Sam asked him if was going to join them. He grinned a bit sheepishly, before he went up the steps and picked the lock to open the door. They were surprised to see that there were even more books than at Bobby's place. The house was fairly small; only one floor and a basement. There was only one bedroom and a small kitchen. The larger room was the living room and that's where all the books were stored. Books on magic, witchcraft, spells, rituals for all sorts of things, some that would give anyone goosebumps just reading about what was needed and how to perform them.
Despite the books and artifacts, it was neat and clean. Dean went into the bedroom, which was small held nothing of interest, only a bed, a desk and closet full of clothes. Nothing out of the ordinary except lines of salt at the windows. After that he noticed that there were lines of salt at every window of the little house as well as all the doors too.
Sam went down a short hallway and in the back found a closet filled with more books and jars with all sorts of ingredients, herbs, incense, salt, as well as candles, athames, a cauldron, crystals and other types of stones, pendulums, a ouija board and odds and ends needed to practice rituals. On the one side of the hallway, there was a small bathroom and on the other side there was a door. Sam opened it and saw that it led to the basement. He called the others to alert them of his find. They went down together where they saw an almost bare room with only an altar in the middle filled with things used for a ritual and another room, with a huge armoire that was locked and engraved with symbols.
Dean approached the armoire to attempt to open it but Bobby stopped him almost violently.
"Wait, see those engravings on the wood? They are curses to protect whatever is inside and if you don't know how to disable them, it could be the end of you." Bobby informed them both.
"Do you know how to disable the curses?" Sam asked Bobby.
"No, I know a thing or two about curses but I don't recall seeing any of those before. There was a pencil and paper upstairs on the coffee table, would you get that for me?" Bobby asked a she looked in Sam’s direction.
Sam retrieved the pencil and paper for Bobby.. Bobby put the paper flat against the engravings and gently stroked the pencil over the paper to make the markings appear on it.
"I'll be able to decipher what they mean at home." Bobby said.

It was the middle of the night and Dean was having the same dream he had at the hospital but this time he saw who it was he desperately needed to save.
He was in the cemetery and he was desperately trying to talk some sense into Sam. Sam was pointing a gun at him and telling him that he had to stop him from ever hurting anyone else and that the only way he could do that was to kill him. Sam pressed against the trigger and the shot rang loud.
Dean woke up with this feeling like he had fallen off the bed. Now he knew who he was supposed to save, it was his own brother. Something would happen to Sam that would change him, turn him into something he wasn't and he had to do everything he could to stop it. He had to save Sam from himself.
He got up and silently went downstairs and out the door. He hoped that the sound of the engine wouldn't wake the others. He drove to the cemetery, he wanted answers and he wanted them now.
He walked around in the cemetery and waited to hear the voice or for something to happen but nothing did. He got to the cross where Terrence had been found and looked around. On the dirt ground before him he saw words, something had been written there in the soil.
"You still won't be able to save him." those were the words.
And then, more words started appearing, written by something invisible.
"He will kill you and it will destroy him."
"Who are you?" shouted Dean, "Why would my brother want to kill me? What will happen to Sam? ANSWER ME!" Dean shouted again but all he heard was an evil laugh that started loud and faded away.
"ANSWER ME!" Dean shouted once more angrily but the place was silent and empty.
Dean waited a bit longer though he knew nothing more would happen. The sun was about to rise so he decided to head back to Bobby's house.
When he got there, he saw that neither Bobby or Sam had awakened. He went back to his bed and fell asleep almost immediately, he wanted to think about what had happened but he was too tired to fight the sleep that overcame him.
