Dark Intentions

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Dean, Neville and Ron came back to Bobby's place they found Bobby and Hermione in the living room pouring over books and Harry and Sam nowhere in sight.

"I was hoping for a warmer welcome." Dean said and the two looked up.

"Hope's a bitch, kid." Bobby said and stood up. He looked all three of them over and nodded when he saw that they were uninjured.

"What's with the reading?" Ron asked.

"We've found out a few very concerning things." Hermione said and Bobby snorted.

"We're talking fricking end of the world and you say it's only concerning." Hermione smiled slightly, although her eyes were hard.

"End of the world?" Neville asked and all three of them accepted a shot glass of holy water before they drank it.

"Take seats. I'm going to bring Harry and Sam up."

"Where are they?" Dean asked as he took a seat.

"Cleaning up the basement." Hermione said and snorted. "Harry – He let go a bit." She said and the three raised eyebrows at her.

"How do you mean that?" Dean asked.

"I mean that he tortured and killed the Demon that helped Sam for information." Hermione said and the three tensed up.

"Harry?" Ron asked.

"Our Harry?" Neville said.

"The squirt actually tortured someone?" Dean said.

"You want a firsthand experience?" They all tensed up when Harry spoke up darkly as he, Sam and Bobby entered the room and took seats.

"Was it her?" Ron spoke lowly and Harry looked at him.

"It was Ruby, yes."

"I hope she suffered." Ron growled and Harry grinned at him in a way that made everyone besides him and Ron, feel like the skies have darkened.

"Trust me." Harry spoke lowly. "She did."

"What did you squeeze out of her?" Dean asked and Harry looked at him.

"We know who holds your contract; we know why and let me tell you, we're screwed." Everyone frowned at that.

"What did she tell you?" Sam asked. "You said you'd tell us when Dean, Neville and Ron came back." Harry nodded, sighed and slid lower in his chair. He threw his left arm over his stomach, rested his elbow on it and rubbed his scarred cheek with his right hand.

"She confirmed that Lilith is the one holding Dean's contract." Harry said.

"Who's Lilith?" Dean asked.

"According to the Lore, Lilith is the First Wife Of Adam. She was banished from Heaven when she refused to serve the Man, and became the First Demon." Hermione said and Harry and Bobby nodded.

"Why would the First Demon hold Dean's contract?" Neville asked.

"That, my dear friend, is the million dollar question." Harry said and rolled his shoulders. "According to what Ruby told us they have this really well planned scheme and the goal is to bring Lucifer out of his cage."

"WHAT?!" everyone shouted at that and Harry jumped in his seat slightly.

"How do you mean 'bring Lucifer out of his cage'?!" Bobby snapped and Harry sighed.

"Pretty simple." He says. "They want him out. They want him free. Sam was a part of their plan and so was Dean. Apparently Sam was supposed to die so that Dean would bring him back and condemn his soul for Hell. As much as I understood her between her screams and curses, they need 'a righteous man to torture 66 souls in hell'." He said. "She said something about that being the First Seal. One of 66 seals they need to break before Lucifer can walk free."

"Okay, I understand my part of it, but what about Sam?" Dean said. "And just for the record, we are so finding a way around that contract."

"We'll get to that later." Harry said. "Sam was the center of the plan. Ruby said that Lilith ordered her to approach you all. She was told to make Sam believe her. If it were their way you, Sam, should have trusted her enough to actually feed on her blood." Sam's nose wrinkled and others shivered.

"Why?" Ron asked. "And that's disgusting, by the way."

"Demon blood is the most powerful steroid in the world." Harry said. "It makes both the mind and the body stronger. Azazel gave you a taste when you were a baby. As much as I understand before Azazel was killed you were having visions and under a lot of stress, you could actually move objects." Sam nodded. "The point behind that and the point behind the plan for Ruby to feed you her blood one way or another, was for you to be able to be Lucifer's vessel." Harry said and everyone gapped at that.

"What?" Sam rasped out and Harry winced slightly.

"Sorry, kid. Don't kill the messenger."

"Sam's supposed to be Lucifer's what?" Dean asked. His face was a mask of quiet, seething rage.

"His vessel." Harry said. "Putting it in a way you'll understand, Lucifer wanted to wear a Sammy-suite."

"But why me?"

"Ruby couldn't tell me that." Hadrian said and everyone frowned. "She knew a lot, but there were still a few things she didn't know. She couldn't tell me where to find Lilith or how, and she couldn't tell me if Dean was really the only one who can break the First Seal or if there are others."

"So what's our plan of action?" Ron asked and leaned forward.

"We find Lilith." Harry said with a small shrug. "We find her and kill her. It would fix a lot of our problems actually since she's the one holding Dean's contract."

"So we kill her and I go free." Dean said and Harry shrugged.

"That's the general idea." Harry said and Dean grinned at him. He clapped his hands as he stood up and looked around.

"So!" He said and looked around. "Where do we start?"

"You look out for each other, alright?" Harry said as he leaned down to look at Bobby. He looked around and barely suppressed a small whine at his baby being driven by someone that wasn't him. "And please don't wreck my baby." He said and Bobby, Ron, Neville and Hermione rolled their eyes at him.

"We'll try, ya idjit." Bobby said and Harry sighed. He patted the hood of his baby one last time and took a small step back.

"Don't get killed!" He shouted as Bobby started the engine and they drove off the scrap yard.

"Don't worry." Harry turned on his heel and looked at Sam and Dean. The two were leaning on Dean's Impala, and while Sam was shooting him a fond look, Dean looked absolutely amused. "Bobby will take good care of your car." Harry snorted and walked over to them.

"Let's get a move on." He said and entered the back seat of the Impala. Dean walked around while Sam squeezed into the front passenger seat.

"So, where to first?" Dean asked as he started the car.

"Drive for Illinois." Harry said. A black cap appeared in his hand and he slid lower in his seat. "I've heard there's a pretty good medium living somewhere in Illinois. He should be able to help us either locate Lilith or locate someone who knows how to locate Lilith."

"Where are the others going?" Sam asked.

"New York." Harry said as he pulled his cap low over his face. "They're looking for the same deal." He said and settled as comfortably as he could. "Remember to stop at a hostel before sundown. We travel only by light." Dean snorted.

"Don't tell me you're afraid of the dark, squirt." Dean asked and Harry snorted.

"I just killed Lilith's second in command, Dean." Harry spoke and the two Hunters tensed up and shared a look. "Trust me there are a lot of demons out there that are just dying to sink their claws in my pert little ass." Dean snorted while Sam snickered, and Harry smirked under the shadows of his cap.

"Wake me up when we get there." He said and the brothers shared a small look.

At least they had something to go with now.

No matter how dark it all seemed.

More comes as soon as I'm able to post!
