Third Person

Jimmy shifted in the hotel bed, he stretched out and groaned as Matt and Brian watched over him still freaked out by the entire situation. Jimmy’s eyes slowing moved open as he squinted from the light, he wasn’t used to it from being in hell… he wasn’t even aware that he was out.

“What the fuck” Slipped from his lips as he shot up before holding his head, the room was spinning and while it seemed that the little deal had made the wounds and pain go away it didn’t change the emotional state of being.

“Matt? Brian?” He called out looking at them before they came over and hugged him, they were happy to have their best friend back, the whole group popped into the room, but no Lacey, she stayed back, she sat in her room trying to avoid explanation… she couldn’t ever let anyone know that she had made a deal with Crowley let alone talked with him and not given any word of it.

“Did Izzy get out too?” Jimmy asked remembering that last time he saw her she was staring him right in the eyes after taking a beating by one of Crowley’s goons and still didn’t say a word…

“You were the only one up-top Jimmy, no one knows what the hell was going on but you were lying in the alley by a dumpster” Matt stated and Jimmy put his head in his hands and rubbed his face… he didn’t want to leave her… he could barely make out very much right now

“I left her… dammit I left her, I was gonna fucking things out!” He roared and everyone fell silent, Lacey stilled in the other room from the sudden uproar.

“Give me the phone” Jimmy said… his tone was hushed and he was trying to bring himself down from everything.

“Please someone just give me the phone.. the girls have a right to know what is going on” He said and Michelle pulled hers out handing it to him as he attempted to call Hannah first but got nothing but voicemail… he hoped that Erin was going to pick up and hear him out.

Dean’s P.O.V

Hannah followed Cas out the bunker door and I waited for the bang of the bunker door closing and as soon as it rung through my ears I moved my lips back to Erin’s but she just put her hands on my chest and pushed me away slightly.

“Sorry, the moment has passed, nothing personal it’s just ya know getting interrupted by Cas and Hannah… mood killer” She said rubbing her bottom lip and I nodded backing up and moving on to cleaning the shattered glass from the floor as Erin picked up her phone dusting it off, she sat on the tabletop staring at the floor.

“What’s running through your mind?” I asked her and she set her phone down.

“I mean I just can’t stop thinking about Izzy being stuck down in Hell with that ass, not to mention my best friend just blurted out she is related to that ass…” She stated and she walked over to the stack of books browsing through some of them.

“Where would you keep all your books on Witches?” She asked and I put my hand on her back guiding her to the library grabbing as many as I could, this wouldn’t be the first time that I had to research this. Erin grabbed a couple of the books and shook her head placing them back on the shelves.

“This is a lot more than just your basic witch, believe me both Hannah and Izzy know about that stuff and so honestly those won’t help, let’s take these and do some research” She said smiling and walking back out, I stood there for a moment before walking out.

“What’s wrong?” She asked realizing the look on my face.

“Just you sounded exactly like Sam, he loved doing research and I don’t know… fond memories, should we get to it?” I asked sitting down pouring another shot and she nodded moving to her seat instantly opening up one of the books while starting up her laptop.

“So did they uh… practice witchcraft?” I asked turning my head and raising an eyebrow, she let out a soft giggle and sat there for a moment in silence before turning her head and for her gaze to meet mine.

“Winchester are you asking if my friends think they’re witches?? Because you know fine well that Hannah was just attacked by one and Izzy well she likes the thought, but she isn’t insane” She stated almost as if she was brushing the question off…

Erin’s P.O.V

Dean was only doing the logical thing asking about the girls practicing the craft but I wasn’t going to tell him about the time that Hannah was messing around with a book that she checked out at the library and included me in a ‘spell’ that she wanted to try, but my mind wandered, the thought was vivid and only seemed like it had happened yesterday, the two of us burning candles and buying odd ingredients.. I shook it off and turned my attention back to researching.

“So you’ve dealt with witches before?” I asked still keeping my eyes on the laptop as I skimmed over reading bits and pieces, multiple covens, types of witches and what traits they have…

“Yes, a bunch of them actually, they can be very common since technically most are just humans that have given themselves over to it” He said and I continued to read through some more disturbing facts and a witch named Rowena but pulled out and turned as I felt Dean’s hand on mine.

“We will figure everything out Erin, we will, I swear” He said and I just rolled my eyes and turned my head.

“Last time you swore that Izzy would be okay we found out she was in hell, no one is in a place
to make promises or swear when everything could change in a heartbeat” I said and his fingers lingered for a moment before he nodded and focused his attention back to the books, my head rested on my hand as I scrolled through different covens, stronger witches… and I must have dozed off….

*There was no color… the dead silence was deafening as I watched a group of bare bodied men and women dancing around a large fire, they were painted with different symbols, I watched as a young man was sacrificed and they just kept on like nothing happened, one woman caught my eye… my grandmother? What was she doing here? A young woman placed her hand on her shoulder and smiled and my grandmother placed her hand onto hers, they were talking and I couldn’t make out a damn thin*

I jolted awake at the sound of my phone, Dean handed it to me and I realized it was Michelle

“Hey Michelle what’s up?” I answered rubbing my eyes trying to wake up and come back to reality.

“It’s actually Jimmy” The voice said… nearly stuttering.

“Is this a joke? Jimmy is in hell? Who the fuck is this?” I asked questioning the man.

“E, it’s me… I’m up top again” He said… oh my god it was him and I stood up placing my hand on my head.

“Oh god, Jimmy, uh Iz?” I asked hoping and praying that somehow he was going to tell me that she was up top again as well.

“Still there… Erin I am worried… she hasn’t broken yet but she was pretty beaten when I last saw her” He said, you could tell that Jimmy truly cared about Iz to our level, you could hear him whispers profanities to himself..

“Where are you?” I asked, that was about all that could come out of my mouth.

“Erin no I promise she is alive, she is tough, she is so fucking tough and I will get her out alive just please” He begged but there was no way that I was going to sit back and watch it all decay.

“Just send the location Jimmy I am coming to you” I said hanging up the phone and I felt as if my world stopped and I couldn’t even breathe…

Third Person

Erin took in a sharp breath as she clutched her phone, the sound of her speedy heart pounding in her ears, her phone chimed as she read the text, she ran to her room grabbing her keys and jacket and Dean grabbed her waist before she hit the bunker stairs.

“What the hell is going on?” He inquired, the look of worry spread across his face.

“Jimmy is back… but Izzy wasn’t with him, I have to go and talk to him, I have to figure this out Dean just let me go” She said pulling from him. He said nothing just grabbed his jacket and phone from his chair.

“I’m going with you then Erin, I’ll be damned if I am gonna let you go this alone” He said putting his hands on her cheeks, he felt like if he didn’t help her or at least try to make this right… things wouldn’t be right between the two of them, this was purely for her.

“I need to do… what I gotta do to get her back Dean and you’re only going to try and stop me” Erin stated, she wasn’t trying to be bitter but hate for Crowley coated her mind.

“I know what it’s like to wanna do anything in your power to get that one person back… family, a loved one and I have been to hell and back, so if you wanna do this… like I mean you really wanna do this, you better be ready to have me there step by step because I ain’t gonna let go” Dean said, he knew exactly what she and Hannah were going through, he knew exactly what she was gonna try to do but he was ready to help her. She finally let up and agreed to let him come with her, the trip was silent and a little awkward and Erin was sure she knew what she was going to say… but when they arrived she froze in the car. Dean was halfway out of the door when he realized that she was just sitting there.

“Talk to me” He said and she turned her head, her eyes meeting his.

“I thought I was gonna be able to walk right in there and get this all figured out and now I am just realizing that I have to face the fact that Jimmy found a way out and Izzy is still down there trapped.

“Don’t think about it, things never go as planned, you have to just take that step inside… I am sure that whatever brought him back up top, well let’s just say he probably didn’t go willingly. I saw how Jimmy looked at Iz, hell he adores the girl and he probably wants her back too” He said to her which was exactly what she needed, she was taken off guard by the sudden comfort that Dean brought to her when just hours ago they were fighting, but it helped her haul her ass into the building. They made it upstairs and Erin didn’t even have to knock, Michelle greeted Erin and pulled her and Dean inside.

“Good to see you two” Matt said and Erin couldn’t help but stray to the bed where Jimmy was staring down at some books.

Erin’s P.O.V

“She’s alive… right?” I asked, the question just rolled off my tongue and Jimmy’s head shot up, he was pale and I could tell that this was bothering him.

“Yes, she takes pain quite well for how tiny she is…” Jimmy said and he was fighting back tears.

“She has always been like that” I said laughing a little bit.

“Ya know Crowley was all up in her business, asking about you and Hannah, your history and such… she just spit in his face no matter how much they hurt her, I didn’t mean to leave her Erin, and I wanted her with me” Jimmy said, I knew he wanted her

“This has nothing to do with you Jimmy, this has to do with Crowley and the fact that he has hurt so many people… I need and want this to stop, I never thought for a second that you left her behind, you can’t burden yourself with something like that, the weight can kill you inside” I said, I knew things were heavy right now but it wasn’t his fault and I needed him to be at his best because we needed all hands on deck.

“I need everyone on board Jimmy, I need you to be strong and be ‘The Rev’ if we want to get Izzy… and Val and even Sam back, we are gonna do this and this is gonna end” I said getting serious and it only got him into his hunter mood

“I need you all, we will be in touch” I said and turned to Dean.

“Give me the keys” I said and he just stared at me. I knew that car was everything but I didn’t have mine and I needed to put some concrete in the rear view mirror. I took them from him as he quickly walked behind me. I got in, adjusting the seat and he sat next to me.

“Be careful… please” He said in a sassed tone, I didn’t even take it in, I just drove, fast…. As fast as I could like something inside of me just busted open. I slowed pulling into the bunker area still gripping his steering wheel.

“I can see why you love the car…” I said quietly.

“Come on let’s get you a drink” He said pulling my hands from the wheel, my phone dinged from the sudden service range and saw that Hannah was back. When I got in she was talking with Castiel in the library, I put my jacket on one of the chairs… and I wasn’t sure how to tell Hannah about the topic of Jimmy.

“Hannah we have to talk” I said and I didn’t want to turn to her, to meet her gaze. Dean handed me the drink and I took down the amber liquid feeling it burn in my throat before I handed back the glass.

“Jimmy is back” I said getting the guts to turn and face the facts.

“And Iz?” She asked and I just shook my head, Hannah sat down in the chair that was closest to her, Castiel leaning down to make sure that she was alright.

“He was unwillingly brought up, she was last seen alive though…” I trailed off, rubbing my face just as Hannah was doing.

“You’re not well, you seem off, I can tell” Castiel stated coming closer to me, studying me, I turned my head away from him and I knew he was analyzing every move I made.

“Having you been having strange dreams?” He asked…. Shit…

“Strange dreams about what?” Dean asked… great, just great.

“I can’t quite make it out, she is really resisting, but whatever it came to her like a memory” Cas stated and I knew this was something that must really be bothering him, but it couldn’t be worse than the Crowley situation… Could it?
