Sam, Dean and Livia went back to the crime scene while Bobby, Ellen, Butler and Artemis stayed back to do some more research. Artemis went to the upstairs study and grabbed his voice activated recorder. He locked the door and got into his lotus position. He needed some sort of plan to catch this Demon, get back the Colt and to protect Livia from getting killed. Before he could start though, his fairy communicator rang.

“Holly?”

“Hello Artemis. When were you planning on telling me Livia is in danger of being killed?” Holly said quite angrily. Artemis sighed. He forgot about telling Holly. Then again he could use fairy assistance in this matter.

“Yes, I’m sorry Holly, we’ve been wrapped up in research.”

“Brilliant. Well Foaly told me, thank goodness Sam called to tell us”

“Sam has a communicator?”

“Yes so does Dean. Now, Do Bobby and Ellen know about me?”

“I don’t know, I’ll ask. What if they don’t?”

“Then tell them. The council said it was okay seeing as they’re with Sam and Dean”

“all right then.” Artemis agreed. He got the manor com and put in study to the call request.

“Ellen? Bobby? Do you know about the People? “He asked. He waited for a few seconds.

“You mean do we know Holly and Foaly and the other fairies? Yes we do Hun” Ellen answered. Artemis looked surprised at the com as if it was a snake. He got his fairy communicator out.

“Yes Holly. They know”

“Good. I’ll be there in fifteen”

“What? How are going to get here that quick?”

“I’m Already up in the air heading for your house. I’ll be there soon”

“Okay. See you soon”

“Bye Artemis”

Artemis hung up, then got back to his lotus position. Fairy powers could come in useful for this mission.

Sam, Dean and Livia were down at the house. Sam was in the house investigating while Dean and Livia covering for him. Livia was bored so she wanted to go the corner shop that was just four houses away. Dean was reluctant at first but he agreed. He kept an eye on her as she went. Livia went into the shop, which had three different sections. There was a clothing area on the far right. There was a coffee shop down the back, with a sitting area in the middle and a candy shop on the far left. Livia walked over to the candy shop. She looked over all the lollies. A boy about her age was leaning against the glass. He had brown sandish coloured hair, green grass coloured eyes. He was wearing a black hooded sweat shirt and he was wearing baggy jeans with joggers. He was smiling at her.

” I heard they had great sweets here but I didn’t know they had girls here too” He said in a honeyed voice.

“Hmm, thanks, but I’m not for sale” Livia replied looking up at him, leaning against the glass too and putting her other hand on her hip.

“Wow, hard to get eh? I always liked the expensive chocolates”

“Charming”

“So, do you come here often?”

“No. First time”

“Well, I must show you around then” He said gesturing to the other areas.

“No I’m fine thanks” She replied standing up straight. She got out a small knife and started flipping it down, flicking it up then flipping it again expertly.

“oooh, biker type. That’s hot” He said walking towards her. Livia flipped the knife up and held up by her chest. The boy looked at it then at her again.

“Careful, don’t want anyone getting hurt” He said smiling charmingly, inching his lips towards hers.

“Yeah? Well I get the feeling you don’t get what I’m getting at” She said returning his grin, centimeters away from his lips. He spoke softly to her.

“Come on, a girl like you. You need someone. Want to get together?” He asked, placing his arm on the wall right next to Livia. She looked at his eyes again.

“Are you serious?” She said, giving a are-you-a-complete-moron frown yet whispering seductively.

“What do you mean?” He said getting closer to her lips. Livia inched so close they were at least two centimeters away from each other. The boy looked like he was going to go into shock. Livia twisted her head slightly, the boy thought he was going to score, but Livia spoke before he had a chance to kiss her.

“I’m taken” She said seducingly, then she smiled, slid the knife away and walked the other direction. They boy looked down at his shoes then looked at the girl walking away from him.

“He doesn’t deserve you!” He yelled after her. Livia stopped. She turned around and walked over towards him. She bought a lollipop then walked over to the guy.

“And why don’t you think my boy deserves me?” She asked , unwrapping the lollipop and putting it in her mouth.

“Well, with your good looks and your personality, seriously, He’s probably using you” He said. Livia smiled then she lost her playfulness. Enough was enough.

“Trust me sugar, I think he likes me just fine. And he probably isn’t as hopeless for love as you” She said cornering him against the wall. She got close to him again, whispering in his ear.

“I’ll see you around bucky” She walked away. And for once the boy who happened to be called Tim Harley, who usually got which ever girl he wanted, was speechless. No girl had ever refused him, and they usually dumped their boyfriend just to be with him. His friends over behind the bush, were laughing their heads off. His reputation was over.

Back to Livia.

She walked over to the door and saw two cops on the opposite side of the shop asking people if they had seen someone, as they were holding a picture. Livia ducked behind a tree in the coffee area. The person pointed into the shop, the cops nodded in appreciation then started walking towards the shop. Livia got out her phone and called Dean.

“Liv, what’s up?”

“Well I had a junky trying to hit on me but that’s not the issue.”

“What is it then Liv, spill it” Livia looked over at the window. The cops were coming in and looking around.

“Dean, Five-o, take off”

“Okay, Catch you on the corner a block from here okay?”

“Towards the manor?”

“That’s the one. Catch you soon”. She hung up and stood up. She turned around and the police were right behind her.

“Are you lost little girl?” Asked the big, bulky cop. Livia hated being called ‘little girl’. Time to use her drama queen experience. She smiled her sweetest smile while looking distraught.

“Oh thank goodness you came!” Livia said with a Texan accent. She covered her eyes and started acting like she was crying.

“What’s wrong sweetheart” Asked the smaller cop.

“I…I….” Livia stuttered professionally. She then pretended to break out crying. The big cop tried to comfort her.

“What’s your name?” He asked her. She thought quick. Time to use an old alias.

“My name is Eloise Croft” She stated. Livia had used this Alias many times. The boys had helped make a fake credit card and she even had a passport. They passport and credit card were real, even when the details behind both of them weren’t.

“Well what’s wrong Eloise?” Asked the cop. Livia thought quick. She needed a distraction to get out of here. She found the perfect one.

“Well officer, that boy over there,” she said pointing at the boy who was hitting on her earlier

“He was……” She started to cry again.

“He what?” asked the cop again.

“He was…trying to….touch me!” She burst into tears. Not really but it worked. The cops stood up and walked over to him. Livia stood up and walked over towards the door. She looked back at the boy. He was yelling at them. He looked over at her. Livia couldn’t help but rub in who was queen. She kissed her two fingers, middle and index, then raised them high and made a peace sign. She winked at him and left. The boy went insane.

Livia ran, laughing , to the corner close to the manor a block from the shop. She was laughing so hard her stomach hurt, waiting for Sam and Dean to come. When they did, they were chuckling at the sight of Livia laughing so much.

“Who are you and what have you done with Liv?” Sam said. He put some holy water on her hands to make sure she wasn’t possessed.

“It was hilarious!! You should have seen his face!!!” she laughed. It was contagious. They were all laughing. She told them the whole story and they were laughing so hard Dean had to pull over. They were all laughing so hard they were practically crying. When they finally got back to the manor, everyone was still doing research and Artemis was still meditating. They all walked in laughing. Bobby also did the holy water check on them. Then started chuckling at the s Then started chuckling at the sight of the three of them laughing so much. Ellen asked what was so funny. Livia was about to explain when there was a knock on the door. Bobby decided he should answer as the other three were to busy busting their sides. He opened the door to see Holly standing there.
“Captain Short. Holly, good to see you.”
“Hello Bobby. Could you invite me in please, you know how fussy the book rules are.”
“Sure, no problem. I invite you to enter the house as long as you like, whenever you like and to make yourself at home” Bobby said smiling. Holly smiled back.
“Thanks Bobby” She stepped in and heard laughter. It was very loud. She followed Bobby into the study and placed her wings and helmet on the desk. She looked at Sam, Dean and Livia who were laughing hysterically, clutching their sides in pain.
“What happened?” She asked Bobby looking quizzically at him.
“ We’re about to find out” he said glancing at the threesome.
“Hey Holly” Livia said still laughing, trying to calm down. She did so sufficiently enough to tell the whole story to everyone again. Everyone was laughing and Sam, Dean and Herself were in pain from laughing to much. Five minutes later they calmed down and started talking.
“So, where’s Artemis?” Asked Livia still giggling.
“He’s meditating” Ellen answered, wiping a tear from her eye.
“Not anymore I’m not. What is so funny?” Artemis asked, stepping down the stairs.
“Sorry Arty, did we disrupt you?” Livia said standing up and walking to him.
“No actually, I finished before you all started laughing” He said hugging her. Livia explained what happened down at the shops.
“If he comes near you again, tell me okay?” Artemis instructed her.
“ Don’t worry, he won’t bother me again” Livia said. “Did we find anything else? Do you have a plan?” She asked him.
“Well, I do, but it needs work. We need to go to Wicklow. Before this weekend” Artemis informed them, glancing around the room. “Oh, and hello Holly, glad you could make it”. Holly smiled back. They all agreed to go together down to Wicklow to check out the site. Holly stayed downstairs with Sam, who had already packed, and explained everything to her while everyone else packed.
“Livia, I think you should stay here. Yellow eyes could be waiting for you.”
“Artemis, Yellow eyes would know where I would be, and even so, if he didn’t see me down in Wicklow, he’d come and look for me here. Either way, I’m coming” She answered, packing her clothes. Artemis finished his packing. He walked over to Livia. Livia looked up at him. She then hugged him, he hugged her back.
“I’m sorry I’m getting testy Arty, I’m just stressed about this Demon, with him wanting to kill me and all.” She said, sniffing slightly. Artemis hugged her tight.
“It’s all right. It’s not your fault”. He felt a tear run down his own cheek. He cleared it away, he needed to be strong, for Livia. As they all walked down the stairs and prepared to go to Wicklow, Holly got a call.
“SHORT!! What are you doing above ground without permits!” Root’s voice sounded through Holly’s headphone.
“Well Sir, I must have forgot, but you see, Livia is in danger of dying, and as a friend I thought I should help out” Holly explained. Root sighed.
“Holly, I understand what you’re doing, but you have to always sign the clearance form before you go topside. I’m afraid you have to come down and then write a clearance form”
“But Sir! I’m already here, what’s the point”
“You know how internal affairs is Holly ”He hung up. Holly clenched her fists.
“ D’Arvit!” She swore.
“Problems?” Artemis asked, hugging Livia.
“I have to go back down to Haven and fill out a form” She told them. Artemis thought. If Holly didn’t come with them now, it could jeopardize the plan. And if something did happen to anyone, Holly wouldn’t be there to heal them. As everyone stepped outside, Butler packed their bags into the Impala, Ellen, Butler and Bobby were going in Bobby’s truck. Everyone said their good-byes to Holly.
“I promise to go as quick as I can, okay Liv?”
“It’s okay Holly, I’ll be fine. Thanks though, you’re an awesome friend”
“Be careful ok?”
“I’ll try” Livia hugged her tight as Holly hugged her. She strapped on her wings and helmet and took off.
“even though I’m paid to protect Artemis, I have become good friends with all of you, so I will do anything to protect you as well” Butler said to Livia, before they got into their vehicles.
“Thanks B-man. I appreciate it Old friend” She said smiling. They walked to their cars. Dean got into the drivers seat, Sam was in the passengers and Livia and Artemis were in the back. They started the journey towards Wicklow.

3 hours down the highway.

“How much longer Sammy?”
“Um, We should be there in about….thirty minutes” Sam told him, checking his satellite phone. Livia and Artemis were asleep in the back, well Livia was, Artemis was meditating. More or less. It was hard to meditate with “Highway to hell” blasting on the stereo. The hours seemed to roll by. Within thirty minutes, they arrived at a motel.
“Liv, wake up. We’re here.” Sam said, lifting Livia out of the car.
“Hmmm….” She groaned. Dean poked her in the ribs, which got Livia up immediately, and after a few arguments and chats later, Sam, Bobby, Ellen, Dean, Livia, Artemis, and Butler walked into the reception.
“Can I help you?” asked the lady behind the counter.
“Umm, yes we’d like to check in please. Together” Bobby said happily.
“Family reunion?” the lady asked smiling.
“Well, actually it’s a get together. This is my wife Suzanne” He said pointing at Ellen. She smiled convincingly. “This is my daughter Leila and her brother Daniel” He informed pointing at Sam and Livia.
“And this is my long time friend Mr. Smith” He said smiling at Butler.
“Please, call me Roger” Butler said chuckling.
“How nice. And who are these two?” The lady asked glancing and nodding at Dean and Artemis. “Oh, how rude of me. These are my sons, Alphonse and his big brother Jared”. Artemis smiled and Dean gave him a playful punch in the shoulder. The lady smiled.
“Okay. Mr. Smith you’ll have room thirteen on the top level. Far right. And Mr…”
“ Young”
“well Mr. Young, you’ll be staying in room twelve. Right next to your friend” she smiled at them handing them keys. As they paid for the rooms and got their luggage upstairs, and arguing about whose staying in which room, they finally settled down. Artemis, Livia, Sam and Dean were staying in room thirteen, while Bobby, Butler and Ellen were staying in twelve.
“ Alphonse? Where did he get that from?” Artemis asked as he typed on his computer.
“I thought it was funny! I got Sam for a brother, you have Dean”
“What’s that supposed to mean!”
“Well I have to deal with both of you all the time”
“ha ha, your a riot” Dean said sarcastically, as he flicked through the channels on T.V.
The night dragged on. As they all got into bed, Livia snuck outside. She stood at the railing, looking over the area.
“You all right?” Artemis asked her.
“How do you always know when I’m not in the house.”
“I have instincts.”
“yeah, I’m fine”
“you sure”
“Yes! I’m Sure!” She hissed. Artemis backed off. “Sorry, I’m just sick of everyone asking me if I’m okay”
“It’s understandable” Livia turned around and looked at him. Artemis smiled sympathetically at her, then walked over and hugged her. Livia hugged him back.
“I just wanna find this demonic bast*rd and get rid of him”
“Me too. Frankly, I’m getting sick of him coming back then disappearing, then coming back again. He is really getting on my nerves. It’s quite annoying”
“Yeah, true” She laughed. Sam came through the front door.
“Guys, you should check this out”. Livia and Artemis rushed inside. Bobby, Butler and Ellen came through a few minutes later.
“Sammy what is it? What is so important?” Livia asked Sam urgently.
“You remember that guy who wasted me last year?”
“Yeah”
“Well, who would be the perfect servant to get the Colt across the railway?” Sam responded. The thought struck them all like a glass bottle across the head.
“When are we leaving?” Livia asked him.
“Livia, we’re not leaving in the middle of the night” Artemis interrupted, placing his hand on her arm. Livia glanced at him, with a look of desperation. She looked at Sam. Sam was giving her a please-don’t-do-this look. Everyone was. Butler, Artemis, Dean, Ellen, Bobby and Sam.
“When do we leave?” She repeated firmly. Sam looked down.
“Now” He replied. Livia barely heard him. She grabbed her double barrel.
“Let’s go” She started walking to the door.
“WAIT!” Artemis shouted. She turned and looked at him. He sighed and walked up to her. Holding her hands.
“At least let me work on my plan?”
“Well hurry” she insisted. Artemis grabbed his tape recorder out of his bag and went into the other room. Livia went on the computer for a while, Bobby, Dean and Ellen were cleaning their guns. Sam walked over to the table and sat on it, facing Livia.
“Liv, we’re scared for you. Don’t do this, you know Dean and I couldn’t stand you dying. Not to mention Artemis. He loves you. How do you think he’ll feel?” Sam said to her. Livia looked up at him. Her eyes glassy.
“Sam, I know you guys need me. But I want the personnel satisfaction of wasting this goddamn demon myself”
Sam was about to point out the difference between being a hero and when you’re being just plain stupid, when Artemis walked in. He looked exhausted but he had determination written all over him.
“Here’s the plan”

As everyone set out into their cars, Artemis explained the plan to them. The rest of the journey to the railway lines was made in silence. Livia was hugged close to Artemis who was holding her tight. They were listening to “It’s a long way to the top (If you wanna rock’n’roll)” They finally arrived at the lines, hiding their cars in the bushes. Ellen, Bobby and Butler arrived, they did the same as Sam and Dean, then they loaded up their guns and got ready for a war.

Far on the east side of the railway lines, Yellow eyes met his soldier. As the man stepped out of a car, Yellow eyes walked up behind him. He was a sergeant in the army, stationed at Vietnam, he was an African American.
“How you doin’ sonny Jim?”
“What do you want from me?”
“I need you to go over these railway lines for me…”
“Go over them yourself!”
“Oh not yet I can’t. But I need you, to go in there and open a door for me. And if you’re going to open a door, you need a key” Said Yellow eyes, pulling out the Colt.
“A gun?”
“Oh this isn’t just any gun, This is the only gun, that can shoot me dead” He explained, holding the gun to his head. He handed the gun to the sergeant. Sergeant took the gun, looking at it, then he held the gun up at Yellow eyes.
“My. I’m , shocked, at the sudden turn of events” Yellow eyes said sarcastically, smiling.
“ God help me, I’ll shoot you now”
“God has nothing to do with this. Go on, shoot me then, but lets just say there’s going to be a mysterious disease your, sweet little sister may die from”
“You wouldn’t”
“I would” There was a brief silence. Very brief.
“Fine”
“Good boy. Be quick about it though”
