Dean moved quickly to separate Sarah from Duncan and backed her up against the wall. He was about to pull his gun when he was forced away from her.
“Dean, explain yourself?” Duncan demanded as he step between them
“If she’s not Sarah, she could be dangerous, Mac.” He looked at his friend. “Can’t you see that?”
“Dean, I…” Duncan paused. Confusion crossed his face.
“Oh my God,” came the exclamation from across the room. They all turned to look at Katie. “Sarah told me about what you do but I didn’t think…” She trailed off and looked at Sam. “Shouldn’t you be getting some rock salt and chanting Latin or something?”
Sam looked at her. “You know about all of that?”
Katie shrugged. “Sarah needed to share and I was a believer before. Your emails just, you know, just confirmed it all.”
“You read my emails?” Sam asked incredulously.
“Hey, lover boy!” Dean yelled. “No time for flirting. Katie’s actually right. Grab the gear. We need to figure out what’s going on.”
Katie giggled and Sam sent her a conspiratorial eye roll indicating that his brother was an idiot, which only made her laugh harder. “On it,” he said as he backed out of the kitchen and went to get the duffle and his laptop from the car.

The tableau hadn’t changed when Sam returned two minutes later with the gear. Connor stood off to the right, looking confused, while across the room Duncan was still holding off Dean and protecting Sarah. They all looked at him when he walked in. Katie approached and grabbed the lap top. She cracked it open and set it up on the table. Sam dumped the duffle next to it and leaned in to whisper to Katie. “I miss anything?”
“No. Dean made everyone wait until you returned.” She sat down next to Sam at the table as he booted up his computer.
Dean looked back at Duncan. “Okay, what’s the story?”
Duncan reached for Sarah’s wrist. “I gave this bracelet to Debra Campbell…” Duncan paused, looked at Katie and then he looked pointedly at Dean, “a long time ago.” Dean nodded his understanding.
Duncan couldn’t tell the whole story while Katie was around, unless they wanted to admit to being Immortals.
“Katie,” Dean said while trying not to take his eyes off Sarah. “I think it would be safer if you were to leave. Do you have some friends you can stay with?”
Katie shook her head. “No way am I going anywhere. My best friend may be possessed. I want to help.”
Sam started to say something, but she just glared at him and then at Dean, cementing the idea that she wasn’t going anywhere.
Dean sighed. “Fine, but you don’t get to ask any questions, and you do as I say if things turn south.” He pointed a finger at her. “Understood?” At her nod he turned back to Duncan.
“Whole story. All of it.”
Duncan took a deep breath. “Before my first death, I was in love with a woman named Debra Campbell, but she was promised to another.” Duncan felt himself growing emotional remembering that time. “I gave the bracelet to her as a token. A promise that I would love her forever.” At the mention of her name Debra had moved next to Duncan, who unconsciously placed his arm around her.
“And I returned that pledge,” she said softly.
“First death?” Katie whispered to Sam.
Dean whirled on her. “Hey, no questions.”
Katie threw her arms up in surrender. Sam laughed and whispered to her that he’d answer every one of them later.
Duncan continued. “I had to kill a kinsman, her betrothed, when he became jealous about the bracelet.” Duncan faltered.
Debra picked up the story. “I hoped it meant we could be together, but Duncan felt shamed and was going to leave the village. To have him only to lose him again… I couldn’t face that,” she said softly
“What happened?” Dean prompted.
Duncan continued. “She died, violently. Fell off a cliff. The Church ruled it a suicide but it was an accident. I buried the bracelet with her…”
Sarah interrupted. “And now God has granted me a miracle,” she said and looking up at Duncan. “We can be together again.”
Duncan smiled down at her adoringly.
“And the bracelet?”
Duncan looked at him with confusion.
“You okay, Duncan?” Dean didn’t like what he was seeing. The spirit appeared to be casting some sort of influence over Duncan.
“The bracelet,” Dean reminded him. “How did Sarah get it?”
“I gave it to her,” came the quiet voice from across the room. Connor continued when he had their attention. “I found it in an estate sale, and since Sarah loves Celtic designs, I gave it to her.”
“And you didn’t recognize it?” Dean asked.
“No, Duncan and I didn’t meet until many years after his first death.” Connor looked at Duncan with sympathy. “I’m sorry Duncan. I never knew about Debra Campbell.”
Duncan nodded weakly. He still seemed dazed by the turn of events.
Sam spoke up. “It should be pretty straightforward. We’ve dealt with this kind of possessed object before. The spirit contained in it may have been seeking a way back to Duncan.”
Dean addressed his brother. “What are you thinking? This bracelet giving off some kind of ‘Lord of the Rings’ vibe.”
Sam grinned at Dean’s analogy. “Yeah, maybe. If that is the case then destroying the bracelet should break the spirit’s hold over Sarah.”
Dean nodded his agreement and reached for Sarah’s wrist. She pulled away from him. “No, I won’t let you. Duncan, stop him! He’s trying to keep us apart!” she cried.
Duncan hesitated before he took Sarah’s hand in his own. The tears began slipping down her cheeks. “Don’t do this. I love you!”
Silently, Duncan choked back his own grief and tugged at the bracelet. Debra cried silently but made no move to pull her hand away again. He frowned and pulled harder. “I think it’s stuck.”
Dean moved Duncan out of the way and took over the tugging. He raised her hand and tried to see between the bracelet and her wrist. “I don’t believe it.”
“What?” asked Sam.
“Dude, I think it’s fused to her wrist,” Dean explained. “Short of amputating her hand, I don’t think it’s coming off.”
