Chapter Sixteen - No Turning Back
Sam was apprehensive as he walked through the backyard of the Halliwell Manor. He was highly conscious of the fact that other than the two brothers no one had walked where he was walking and lived in over seven years.
He reached the corner of the house and exhaled slowly. It was make it or break it time and he couldn’t afford to fail. Those two brothers were counting on him. The people inside didn’t know it, but they were counting on him. The unknown people who might yet be killed in and around this house and its land were counting on him.
And if that wasn’t enough pressure, he had to survive, because Dean was counting on him. And he wasn’t going to let his brother down.
With that in mind Sam readied himself and turned that corner.
He felt fire burn in his chest, but he forced himself to ignore it. He had to. He reached up his hand with much difficulty and suddenly the demon possessed woman was flying at the wall and his heart no longer hurt. He kept walking as he forced her flush against the wall.
Prue watched him wearily, clearly unsure how to take this, and after seven years almost too tired to think. Sam ignored her and kept walking until he reached the door and tried to open it.
Sam let out a yelp and dropped both hands as the door burned him. The woman smirked at him and Sam felt his chest start burning, again, faster and hotter this time.
Prue waved her arm, giving Sam precious seconds to recover as the woman was thrown across the room. She recovered quickly, too quickly as was typical of those demons, but it was enough time for Sam. He held up his arm and she went sailing at the wall, unable to move as he concentrated on the demon inside her.
After several seconds black smoke started exciting through her mouth. Sam’s body shook from the amount of power it required to fight her. The smoke suspended, tugging in and out as the demon was not willing to let go of its host and Sam was not willing to let her stay.
The battle seemed to go on forever and Sam could feel the strength being sapped out of him and then he felt his opposition give up. The black smoke excited the woman and both Sam and the woman slipped into unconsciousness.
