Here is another story I have been working on. This is my first fic ever.

Disclaimer: Don't own anything but I wish.

Stonehill High School in Utah was the current school of one Sam Winchester. At age 16 Sam was a junior in high school and currently a member of the school's cross-country team. John moved the boys to an apartment in Stonehill at the beginning of the summer and to Sam's joy, he discovered they would be staying here until at least December. Sam made some close friends over the summer who encouraged him to join the cross-country team. The coach soon realized Sam was a natural runner and quickly Sam worked his way up to the number one runner's position on the team. His best friends in Stonehill were Jack and Anna. Jack was the number two runner on the team and Anna was the number one girls runner. On the days of easier workouts, Anna would be told to run with Sam and Jack to help push her a little more. The three friends loved easy workout days since they could all enjoy a nice run together.

It was currently October, and the team was practicing hard for the District Championship race. If they competed well they had a chance for the State Championship Race in November.

Sam arrived home from a particularly difficult practice that day to find Caleb's car in front of the apartment. Upon entering the house, he saw his father and Dean packing up their bags. His dad upon seeing him sent a glare in his direction. Sam and John had been fighting a lot lately, and last night had been a particularly bad one. Sam had yelled at John, but the fight ended with John telling Sam that he was ashamed that he was his son. The minute John had said the words he immediately felt guilty after seeing the look on his son's face, but being the stubborn man he was he refused to apologize to Sam.

"Where are you guys going Dean?" Sam asked.

"Hunt a few towns over. Dad and I are heading out tonight, and you princess will be babysat by Caleb here for the next few days," Dean replied with a smirk.

John approached Sam with his duffle slung over his shoulder. "Mind Caleb, you better not give him any problems."

"Yessir."

John then spoke to Caleb a few moments, before heading out to the impala. "Bye Sammy," said Dean as he to walked out of the apartment.

Sam watched Dean and his Dad leave before turning back to Caleb.

Dean had filled Caleb in on the words John had said to Sam the night before, and now looking at Sam's face Caleb could tell how much those words had hurt him. Caleb was determined to be extra kind to Sam this week.

"Sam you're probably hungry after practice. What do you say to pizza?"

"Sounds good Caleb. I'm gonna go do some homework before it comes."

The next day at practice Coach Jones told everyone it would be an easy day. Sam and his friends were excited. Coach had been working them all very hard the past few days so an easy day was much appreciated. He told the team to run in their groups for forty-five minutes at an easy pace.

Practice today was held at Stonehill Community Park, and there was a beautiful forest by the woods that was fun to run in so Sam, Jack, and Anna decided to run in the forest.

Once they were fairly deep into the forest Sam looked at his watch and realized they had been running for twenty-five minutes and announced to the group that they should be heading back now. However, the end of his statement was met with the snapping of twigs to the left of the path. Everyone froze for a second and then realizing it was probably a squirrel continued on.

About two minutes later though, Sam and Jack both heard a growl and immediately stopped running. They motioned Anna to be extremely quiet. "Stay right here and do not make a noise," Sam whispered. Sam cautiously walked towards the origin of the growl. He heard a twig snap, turned around, and several yards away he saw a big black dog.

Sam was terrified. He had no weapons and his two best friends were with him. He did the only thing he could think to do. He ran to his friends yelling, "RUN!"

The three immediately began sprinting deeper into the forest with black dog in hot pursuit. Sam could hear the black dog gaining on them. Everyone ran faster as Sam yelled for them to hurry. They had run so far off the path by now Sam had no idea how they would ever make it back. They had to be a good thirty minutes off the path and at least an hour into the woods. Up ahead though the group saw a drop off but as they were trying to run to the side of it, the black dog jumped in front of them. The dog pounced at Anna, but Sam jumped in front of her and went tumbling down the hill with the dog.

Sam felt his leg snap as it smacked off a tree during his decent. Then he felt sharp pain in his head and side as he hit the bottom and darkness claimed him.

Coach Pete Jones was becoming worried, as it had now been an hour and a half since he had sent the kids off. Everyone had returned, stretched, and headed home already, except for Sam, Jack, and Anna. It was not like the leaders of the team to goof off and not return on time.

After it began getting dark and the kids had been gone for two hours, Coach Jones new in his gut that something bad had happened to his three most talented runners. He immediately called his buddy, John Davis who was the chief of police.

"I have three runners who have disappeared in the Stonehill Forest. They have been gone for over two hours and there is absolutely no sign of them," he told Davis.

Alarmed by the fear in his friend's voice Davis said, "Pete don't worry. I will send some men out there immediately. Just call their parents, explaining the situation to them."

Pete immediately called the homes of the three children and then sat down and hoped that no harm had come to his kids.

After receiving the phone call from Coach Jones, Caleb had to sit down. Sammy was missing. He called Dean's cell and thankfully, he answered.

"Caleb what is it we are heading back out to the woods soon. We didn't find the freakin' dog all day."

At that statement, all color drained from Caleb's face. Sam was lost in the woods and several towns over a black dog had been terrorizing the woods. What if Sam and his friends had encountered it?

Caleb was drawn away from his thoughts when he heard Dean yelling his name.

"Dean we have a huge problem."

Dean immediately knew by the tone of Caleb's voice that something had happened to Sam. "Is Sammy ok?"

"No he's not…he's…he's…he's missing in the woods. Him and his friends never came back from their run today. Dean I think the black dog may be in the Stonehill Forest now."

Dean immediately sunk to his bed in the motel at those words. John having become nervous when Dean asked if Sam was ok, became terrified at Dean's reaction to the answer. He grabbed the phone from Dean. "Caleb what's going on?"

"John, Sam's missing in the woods. Him and his friends never came back from their run today. I'm praying not, but what if the black dog is in Stonehill now."

"We're on our way," and John hung up the phone told Dean to grab the stuff and get in the car and they were heading back to Stonehill.

Anna and Jack watched as a huge black dog slammed into Sam and in horror saw their friend go tumbling down the steep hill. The heard Sam scream and then they both ran to the edge of the slope. They thanked God when they saw the dog scamper away into the woods, but became instantly worried when Sam did not move at the bottom of the hill.

"We have to go down there now!" Anna yelled to Jack. The two then slowly made their way down the steep slop.

Once down the slope Anna and Jack ran over to Sam. He was lying on his left side facing away from them. Jack slowly rolled Sam over so that he was flat on his back and the two gasped at the shape Sam was in.

"Oh my god," Anna whispered.

The side of his head was bleeding profusely where he hit a rock at the bottom of the hill. His chest had long scratches across it. However, the two most alarming injuries were to his leg and side. A shiny white blood covered bone was poking out of the skin of his lower right leg by the knee, and a branch was protruding from his left side

Jack knew they needed to act quickly or Sam would not make it. He immediately took off his long sleeve and his tshirt. He wrapped his t-shirt around Sam's head, then he balled up his long sleeve around the branch in Sam's side to attempt to stop some of the bleeding.

"Anna, go find two long branches immediately!" yelled Jack.

When Anna left, Jack began to try to wake Sam up.

"C'mon Sam you need to wake up." After several minutes Sam began to come to slowly. However, his eyes jolted open when his body realized the damage that had been done. He began moaning in pain and his breathing became more rapid.

"Sam you have to calm down I know it hurts, but you have to breath through it ok," Jack whispered to Sam.

Sam began to control is breathing and then looked with tear filled eyes at Jack. "Wha hppnd?" Sam slurred.

"The dog attacked us man. You fell down a hill," said Jack.

Sam then instantly remembered and he realized he had to try his hardest to stay awake to warn his friends. "The…dddog…iiis…dddangers…jus leave me..here."

Anna had returned to hear Sam struggle to get those words out. Anna, who has liked Sam since she met him, felt her heart break at the words. She handed the branches to Jack who immediately went to work try to stabilize Sam's leg. Anna grabbed Sam's right hand and held it tightly.

"Sam, you saved my life. Jack and I would never ever leave you here Sam. You are our best friend. Do you understand me? We are not leaving you."

Sam looked at Anna and a tear slid down his cheek. "But… you..don …undrstnd …dog …hunt us."

Anna and Jack both tensed at those words. "Sam what do you mean?" Anna asked.

Sam took a deep breath. "The…dog…is a crture…who wants to kill us." As if on cue, a howl could be heard in the distance.

Anna and Jack became terrified. It was getting dark, Sam was critically injured and a psycho dog was hunting them. The two huddled closer to Sam and prayed they would make it out of the woods alive.
