Dean and Sam walked into Alex's room. They see her laying down in bed staring at the ceiling, with her mouth taped up again. The doctor told them to make sure that she only takes it off to eat for a few days. There were the same heart machines connected to her. That was the only noise in the room. The tv wasn't on and the blinds were closed.
Sam sat down in a chair next to her bed and Dean took a seat on her bed. They noticed that she was pale. She looked tired, but it was like she couldn't sleep...or didn't want to sleep.
Sam- *Sympathetically* We heard about what happend to your dad. I'm so sorry.
Dean- We're here if you ever want to talk about it.
Alex- *Slowly nodding her head*
Dean- *Changing the subject* So, are the pain meds kickin' in yet?
Alex- *Nodding her head again*
Dean- Wow. Your so interesting to talk to, Alex.
Dean tried using his sarcasm to cheer Alex up, but she looked dead inside. There was no expression on her face. Dean was wondering if that's what he looked like when Sam died.
Sam- The doctor said that you could go home tonight, but your going to be on bed rest. He thinks that you should stay with us at the cabin for a month, untill your leg gets better,
Dean- Yeah. He doesn't want you to move that leg at all. Are you ready to leave tonight?
Alex- *Thinking about it for a minute, then nodding her head*
Sam- Alright. We'll take you back in a little bit.
After they all left the hospital, Sam and Dean drove Alex back to the cabin. They arrived at the house at 11:56pm. Once they got her into Bobby's old room, Sam took Dean aside. They were talking softly so Alex couldn't over hear them.
Sam- I showed the picture to Bobby.
Dean- And?
Sam- He says it's a curse thats used by some demons.
Dean- What kinda curse?
Sam- He doesn't know the detailes, but It basically makes her a magnet for evil. Anyone around is in danger. Including us.
Dean- But her dad didn't die, right away. And Cody and Brad are still alive.
Sam- Bobby also said that the necklace she was wearing protects her for three years.
Dean- Let me guess. Her three years are up at midnight?
Sam- Yep. Right when she turns twenty.
Dean- That's one h*** of a birthday present.
Sam- Dean. I think we should take her with us.
Dean- What? Your not serious?
Sam- Yes, I'm serious. It's the best thing for her.
Dean- Are kidding me?! She could get killed! You said so yourself! She's a magnet for evil, and we just happen to be around it all the time!
Sam- We know how to protect her, Dean! If we leave her here alone, she won't last a day!
Dean- It's not right to drag her into this! She deserves a normal life!
Sam- And we don't?
Dean- Don't even go there! You know I wanted you to live a normal life.
Sam- That's my point, Dean! I tried normal and look what happend! *Pausing* Look. Dean, whether you like it or not, she's in danger. If we leave now.......she's gonna die.
Dean- *Letting out a heavy sigh* Fine. She'll come with us, but she stays in the motel rooms. I'm not taking her on any hunts with us.
Sam- Fine.
Dean- But once we find a way to break the curse, I'm sending her back home.
Sam- By then she'd probably know, just as much as we do!
Dean- Yeah! Then she'd probably know how to protect herself too!
Sam- I'm still trying to figure out how to get you out of that deal you made! Getting you out of that deal comes first. I'm not leaving her like this, but I'm not giving up on you either.
Dean- For once, I would like some one in our family to live a full, normal, and happy life.
Sam- I know you do, but I also know that you want her to be safe. Which is why we should get ready, because we have three minutes until midnight.
Sam started lining the doors and windows with salt, while Dean was getting their weapons ready. They let Alex fall asleep, while they prepared for the worst. Dean didn't want Alex to know about what they did for a living. Heck, they didn't even know what she did for a living.
Sam- Are you sure this will work?
Dean- Yep.
Sam- What about Alex? Don't you think we should warn her?
Dean- No. It'll be better if she didn't know.
Sam- What if she wakes up?
Dean- She won't.
Sam- What do you...You didn't.
Dean- Give her a sleeping pill? Yes, I did.
Sam- Way to earn her trust, Dean!
Dean- Hey. At least we don't have to worry about her waking up. *Sam glares at him* Go take off her necklace. It's almost midnight. The necklace may not be affective any more, but the iron still is.
Sam- What about you?
Dean- I'll be in there in a little bit. I have to get a few things, from the trunk.
Dean went out to get some holy water and his dad's journal. He looked at his watch, which read 12:00am.
Sam- DEAN! GET IN HERE!
Dean quickly closed the trunk and ran inside the cabin. There was muffled screaming coming from Alex's room. He ran down the small hall way and swung open the door.
Dean- What's going on?
Alex was tied down to the bed and trying to break free. Sam was standing next to the bed salting up the last window. Dean looked up at the ceiling, to see the devil's trap.
Sam- It's Meg.
Dean- Wow. That was fast. *Walking over to Alex's body* So, what. You couldn't wait to see me?
Meg put Alex's hand in a fist leaving the middle finger sticking out. Even though it was her broken finger, Dean was positive that she did it on purpose. Dean tossed the journal over to Sam.
Dean- Lets get this over with.
