Rating: Light R
Chapter: 5 of 5
Prompt: #162 - Stalemate for tamingthemuse
Spoilers: Possibly up to Season 4's High School episode. You need to know what the yellow-eyed demon's real name is, too.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Summary: For devon99: Pre-Series AU. When John gets too close for comfort, the yellow-eyed demon decides to turn the tide and threatens Sam in a way that hits close to home and that the Winchesters won't forget. The aftermath leaves them all shaken, and John has to decide between continuing his hunt for the demon responsible for it all, or abandoning it for the safety of his sons.

A/N: This isn't in any way related to my RaBB!verse. Just a pre-series fic.

In Chapter 4:

He took a sip from the luke-warm coffee and cradled it between his hands. The kitchen was silent save for the clock behind him, ticking away softly. A glance over his shoulder said it was almost eight-thirty. He needed to go check on the boys, see if they were sleeping, and tell them...

Tell them what? What he was going to do? John didn't have a clue. He had two choices, possibly more, but he was pretty sure they boiled down to the main two. Hunt it or let it go. He could technically do either one.

The real question was, could he really let it go?
