The Huntress

Sam who sat there fast asleep in his usual place in the passenger side of the impala was rudely awakened by his brother, Dean.

"Sammy, you wanna tell me why I've been driving for 20 hours?"

"Dean I already told you we're going down to St. Louis. I found something in the local news papers while we were in Main. I think it's our kind of thing."

Dean looking over at Sam grunted. It was a long drive and they still had a few hours to go before he knew he would have the chance to lay down in one of those ever familiar motel beds and sleep. 'If I'm not sleeping may as well take Sam with me.' He thought to himself.

"So! What the hell makes you think St. Louis might have something for us?"

"Well Dean, first of all it's known for one pretty vicious haunting. The Lemp Mansion haunting?"

"Uh huh"

"It's a late 19th century home that was built by William Lemp for his family. Over the years there were a few deaths, some scandals regarding divorce, the family business went under, and multiple suicides, but get this the family home only started getting signs of paranormal activity in the 1950's after the fourth child of Adam Lemp's had committed suicide. Anyways now it's a restaurant and an inn, they still claim paranormal activity but nothing major."

"Wait, so you're telling me that we're driving all the way down from Main because of some guests at an inn that are scared of a non-violent ghost?! Sam I'm gonna throw you out of this car and leave you on the interstate I swear- ."

"No. No, Dean the reason we're going to St. Louis is because a woman and her daughter were taken from their home and haven't been found yet."

"And THAT screams supernatural to you?"

"Dean would you let me finish?"

And in a tone just loud enough for Sam to hear Dean replied...

"That's what she said."

"Really Dean?"

"What it was funny!"

"Anyways. This isn't some normal abduction, Dean this isn't the first time one of the family members was taken. Almost 12 years ago they lost their son. They thought that they were never going to find the body the way the investigation was going and four months later they found him, except it was like he hadn't decomposed at all and his blood was completely drained. Dean they couldn't explain it there were no cuts nothing indicating that his blood was drained from the outside, the only thing they found was a scar but it's impossible for it to have formed after he died.

"Ok that sounds pretty messed up, but Sammie how do we know that this isn't some sick son of a bitch doctor out to finish his collection? I mean he got one of the siblings already."

"I still think we should check it out."

Four hours later they had arrived in St. Louis. The two brothers pulled up into the dark misty parking lot of the motel where they would be spending their nights in Missouri until they had a new case, and a new destination. Settling in for the night both brothers agreed that they would take up further investigating until morning as they had arrive late into the night.

When morning had come Sam was awake, sitting at the small table provided in their room with his computer in front of him and a coffee to his right. He was getting all the information that he could about the current victims and see if they couldn't find the living sister. When Dean finally woke up several hours later Sam explained to him the plans for the day.

"So we've got Beth Morrison and her daughter Christine who were abducted from their home a couple of days ago, there was no mention of any signs of forced entry. It says here that they lived together with Beth's sister, so maybe we should start by talking to her first?

"Sounds like a plan to me."

And with that they jumped into the impala and drove off. Driving for about a half hour before they got to the house they were looking for. On the way there they had decided that they were going to pose as a pair of reporters. Dean got out of the car first, Sam following shortly after. At first it didn't really seem like any special kind of place, then again how many places did they go to where supernatural activity hung above the house like a neon sign guiding them in. Dean looked around his eyes lingering on the black 1969 camaro that was sitting in the driveway, after a few moments Dean finally tore his gaze away from the car and onto his brother. With a silent nod in agreement the headed for the front door of the house.

At first they knocked on the door and waited a few minutes, there was no answer so Dean in a moment of either brilliance or stupidity twisted the doorknob. What was there to greet them on the other side of the door was not what they were expecting, yet they would both agree if you asked them that it wasn't the first time that they were greeted like this. When the door opened, before them stood a young woman with brownish-red hair and green eyes similar in color only to freshly cut grass on a summers day, yet her most outstanding feature was the double barrelled shot gun that she was pointing right at Dean's chest.

With ease she spoke; "Can I help you with something?"

Sam answered her first; "Yes actually we're with the River Front Times and we were wondering if it would be possible to speak Beth Morrison's sister, now I assume that would be you?"

Not once had she moved the gun since opening the door.

"Yeah I'm Janie Morrison. What do you want to know, just about every papers been here in the past few days I'll give you credit though, you're the first ones who tried to open my door to get me to answer."

It seemed as though it was without thinking on his part but Dean spoke next.

"So Janie's Got a Gun?"

She then cocked said gun.

"Sorry."

"Please Janie can we just come in, we only want to ask you a few questions. It won't take long."

Finally lowering her gun she looked at both brothers, then at their car before making her decision.

"Fine, come in."

As they were being guided into the house Sam looked over at his brother not as shocked as he should have been by Dean's comment and yet when Janie was out of earshot he spoke.

"Aerosmith? Really Dean, she was pointing a gun at you and you go with Aerosmith."
