A

 

                Sam says they need to work together, that the only way to beat Yellow-Eyes is if they stand side-by-side. “My brother will help,” he promises, “and there are others, friends. We don’t have to go it alone, Jake.”

                Ava, Andy, Lily. Scott, Ansem, Max. No telling how many others before or after.

                Jake looks at him for a long moment. Sam waits, ready to dodge, duck, or strike. Finally, Jake nods.

                They leave that town shoulder-to-shoulder, and meet Dean and Bobby on the road.

 

 

B

 

                He sees how this will go.   Been dreaming about it for weeks now, this ghost town and all the dead haunting it. Ava, Andy, and two strangers, all four dangerous.

                Terrified Lily is the easiest, and Andy the one he regrets. Ava had killed before and wanted to kill again, so he doesn’t hesitate. And Jake, the soldier—Jake would have killed him, even if he didn’t want to, so Sam shoves the knife into his throat. Three broken necks and one stabbing, and Sam’s the last one standing.

                He ignores Yellow-Eyes clapping and hurries through the woods. He’s gotta find Dean.

 

 

C

 

                Lily goes off on her own: easy.

                Jake tries fighting Ava’s little pet, but you can’t beat what you can’t touch.

                Andy screams and there’s no iron around for Sam to use.

                And finally, Sam. He looks at her, so sad. So disappointed.

                As Sam’s brother kills her, Ava laughs.

 

 

D

 

                He’d hoped that maybe Sam’s powers had nothing to do with that God-forsaken town, but it’s Sam’s twenty-third birthday in a few weeks and Dean’s dreams have been getting bloodier with memories in the last couple nights.

                The diner is stained with demon and Dean knows exactly where to go. He should stop for backup, for someone he can trust, but there’s no time, not if Sam can get out unscathed. 

                He and Dad had never talked about that week he went missing, a few months after Sam left for Stanford. Dean came back as quietly as he left, and Dad didn’t ask. 

                Maybe Yellow-Eyes hadn’t planned for Dean, and he ignored Dean when they met up again, but Dean won’t let him get Sammy. Not Sammy.

                The ghosts part before him, and the demons scamper away, and there are four people with Sammy. Two he recognizes, Andy and Ava. Mind control and visions. Ava’s been upgraded, though, if the demon dancing to her tune is anything to go by.

                She’ll be first, then.

 

 

E

 

 

                If you wanna get back to your brother, Yellow-Eyes whispers, you’ll need to win, Sammy. Dean’s in danger, you know. Universally hated by my kind. And hunted by yours.

                The others here will kill you, Sam. You’re a threat. My favorite.   It’ll all there, in your head. Everything you need to know. To save Dean you have to save yourself.

                When Ava makes her move on Lily, Sam lets it happen. When she goes after Andy, he waits. When Jake kills Ava to save him, Sam thinks, One left.

                When Jake tells him only one of them can survive, Sam says, “I know.” When Jake attacks, Sam strikes with Max’s telekinesis and stops his heart.

                He can feel them all, each ability. They died in his presence and their abilities came to him. 

                There are more, Yellow-Eyes says. Dozens. My favorite.

                Sam ignores him and starts walking.

Wow! These are all fantastic, but man, I wish the first had been the actual ending. I liked Jake so much I manage to ignore the fact he killed Sam. *hides face*
