Chapter 1: THEN - part 1

Chapter Text

THEN —The periodic table

 

It starts with:

Various omens, a forgettable all-American town, and some deaths –enough to end up in an article and to pick up their attention.

It's clearly a demon, so they get every ounce of holy water at disposal, paint cans, two encrypted gags, and keep the exorcism in the back of their mind.

Ah, Cliff also got his hammer –Kirk rolled his eyes when he insisted to wet it in holy water, but let him do the useless thing; let the man have fun, you know?

Lars is jittery and on the edge, like always when it's demons. They are not killable, that gets to him.

James just came back from the perimeter search and nods at the others, shotgun in hand, anti-possession tattoo (sharpie-baby powder-hair spray, and it better fucking stick till the end of the hunt this time) dancing with the tendons on his neck.

Nobody talks and they go in.

The stench of death increased as they progressed inside the abandoned mansion, Kirk keeping his concentration up, to hear and smell everything over the absolute drowning stink of blood and decomposition.

(He was not gonna throw up like the last time, don’t worry.)

Then came the noise.

 

Notes:

-it's small, but I like it? quite a lot?

-The beginning is an awful joke abt In the End by Linkin Park, y'know? "it starts with: one thing, i dont know why, it doesnt even matter how hard you try" etc etc hfdjhfsjkh if you want, go back up and read it with the rhythm of the song in mind.

-for those who dont know SPN lore: nothing (except 2 demon blades and angel blades, but forget those for now) can kill a demon. you can kill the vessel, you can exorcise the demon... but it just goes back to hell, it can climb up again and again and again.

-ah, for those who dont know this is an anti possession tattoo: James would look cool with one of those poking through his collar, right? also, there is a reason they didnt get a permanent one but stick to the home made one.

-i'm posting it as it is to try and will myself to write the next scene. Because I love this story and this verse and I have everything plotted and I want to share it sm!!

-if anyone is interested in it, please give a shout out! nothing fuels a writer like feedback.
