A Magnificent Castle

The road before him seemed to stretch on for miles. Miles and miles of nothing but white crunchy snow. He sighed as he took in the figure sleeping in the seat beside him. He took one hand off the steering wheel and rearranged the blanket carefully around his passenger. He scoffed at the amount of chaos that angelic face could brew and wondered for what seemed like the zillionth time if he was that bratty at twenty-two. Damn baby brothers.

Dean spared one last glance at his brother before turning his attention back to the road. If they didn't find shelter soon, they'll freeze in the blizzard they were caught in. He strained his eyes to look through all the white outside his windows and windscreen to find the distinguishing features of a house or a building of some sort. Hell, he'd take a witch's lair right now if it meant getting out of the snow.

In Dean's eyes, the motel was the most beautiful thing he had come across. It wouldn't matter if it was just a tin shack by the road. It had a roof and a bed and heating. It was a magnificent castle. And it looked like he wasn't the only one who thought so. The motel parking lot was almost overflowing with cars, some of them very flashy. Whoever owned this motel was about to make a shit ton of money. He hastily found some parking space, mentally apologizing to the car for the rough treatment and, after a quick internal debate as to whether to wake Sam now, he decided to check them in first and then worry later about how to get Sam to their room.


Damon wondered why he never pays attention to Caroline when it matters as he tried to navigate through the heavy snow storm. He remembered her vaguely saying something about a blizzard or something as they prepared for this trip. Now here he was in the middle of nowhere, and the storm rapidly picking up. When he meets up with the rest of them, he knows he deserves every single one of their I-told-you-so's. At least one good thing came out of this mishap, he comforted himself as he looked into the rearview mirror at the figure sprawled across the back seat peacefully sleeping the storm away. His baby brother wasn't one for much sleep, so Damon took what he could get. Seriously though, if they didn't find a place to stop soon, he was going to start pulling out all his hair.

Damon was so into his thoughts, they almost passed by the motel before he saw it. With a sharp U-turn that he was surprised didn't throw Stefan off the back seat onto the floor of the car, he parked in front of the motel and just narrowly avoided hitting some young guy who practically dove out of his seat as soon as his impala was parked. He didn't even pause to think about what to do with Stefan, deciding to secure a room for them first and then simply carry him inside. He reached the lobby just as a matronly Hispanic woman was arriving at the reception; the young man immediately before him having rung the bell so loudly and for so long, Damon was sure they heard in Australia.

"We need a room"

"Oh dear. You boys have been out in the cold for quite a while, haven't you? Because the last of my guests to get caught in the storm arrived over two hours ago" the woman said to them, chiding. "You boys were not caught in the storm, you rode into it. Didn't you watch the news this morning?" she tutted. "Kids these days. You don't pay attention to warnings. You could have died out there"

"Look, lady, I appreciate the concern but I need a room with two beds. For my brother and I" Dean interrupted quickly

"I need one too" Damon added

The woman was slightly confused. "Wait, you're not his brother?"

"No, my brother's in the car outside. Now would you hurry. Storm's getting worse" Damon was getting irritated

"Yes, lady. Do hurry up. I can't keep the engine running for too long. Don't know how long till I find a gas station and I don't wish to waste any more fuel. So please, room?" Dean said

"Oh… well… that is… erm… we've got only one room left"

"What?!"
