You find yourself tired after a long day of classes and are just eager to get home and relax with your roommates. It doesn't take you long before you're pulling into the parking lot of your apartment building. You quickly turn off the ignition and grab your bag, followed by getting out of the car. You take a few steps towards your building before you push the button on your keys to lock your car. You hear the click and see the lights flash reassuring you of the cars security.
You're almost to the side entrance with your apartment key in hand when you get a tingling sensation on your back leading up to your neck. You take a deep breath and continue moving forward until the urge to look behind you can't be denied any longer. You take a quick glimpse only to see nothing. Still feeling like something is wrong, you move a bit faster, rushing inside. Now that you're behind the locked door, you decide to take a chance and look out trying to spot something. Spending only a few moments looking through the window without discovering anything else, you decide to continue up to your apartment. While waiting for the elevator you can't shake the fear that came over you.
As you step out of the elevator you're beginning to calm down. It's been a long day and you are ready to relax and chill out with your roommates for the rest of the night. You quickly walk down the hallway and open the door to your three bedroom apartment. With the door shut behind you you saw your two roommates lounging on the couch watching the tail end of an episode of Friends. You smiled and threw your bag on the counter before joining them on the couch ready to space out and enjoy their company.
You laughed and joked with your friends forgetting all about your earlier scare, at least until you were heading to bed. You sat in your bed and felt the tingling sensation creep back up your neck. Once again, you found yourself looking out the window to reaffirm your mind that it was nothing. However, your mind gave you a told you so as you saw a shadow quickly run across the street. The shadow made it across before stopping and turning around until you saw the glimpse of yellow eyes. You stumbled backward and almost lost your footing. Looking towards your feet you regained your balance. You looked back out the window but couldn't see anything unusual.
You let out a long exhale, not even aware that you were holding your breath. You stood there for a few moments before deciding that sleep wasn't going to be an option tonight. You made your way to the kitchen, bringing your laptop with you. You placed your laptop at the counter before going to the cabinet to grab yourself a mug to make yourself a cup of tea. In just a few minutes you find yourself surfing the web trying to entertain yourself. After an hour or so you think you might give going to sleep another try only to find yourself more awake as soon as you get in bed. Sighing, you sit on your bed and open up your laptop once more. Opening the internet you see the various news articles that swipe across your homepage. You're about to head to Netflix when a certain headline catches your eye. Sheriff Warns Locals to Stay Inside after Sunset Due to Vicious Animal Attacks.
You decide to click on the article and see what it has to offer. It was pretty vague more of just a warning, however, it did say that four locals were found dead, with scratches and bites that experts were trying to figure what caused them. You were surprised to find that these deaths occurred close to your place. After finishing the article you decided to do some of your own research trying to see if you could find an animal that might have been responsible. You knew the news would have played it down a bit, as to not scare the public, so you kept that in mind.
There were some gruesome images but the closest thing that you could find was a Wolf. However, you knew that wolves hadn't been around for a while so you were pretty much just as confused and more disgusted than you were before starting your search. You kept scrolling for a little bit longer, when you saw werewolf as one of the results. Deciding that, at the very least it could provide some entertainment, you clicked on the link.
While it was a cheesy and ridiculous beginning to the article, you found yourself engaged learning the mythology. You were grossed out when you learned that werewolves always ate the heart of their victims. If you believed in werewolves, this article seemed like it would have been the best fit to your inquiry. The last thing that you read was that silver was one of the only things that was effective against a werewolf. After reading that fact, you decided that you didn't need to fill your brain with anymore frivolous knowledge. You opened Netflix and proceeded to watch your favorite show.
The next day drug on as you attempted to go about your everyday life, going to class and work. In the early afternoon, you decided it was time to get another shot of caffeine. You walked down the street and entered the first cafe, you stumbled upon. After picking up your favorite drink you sat down at a table and pulled out a book and worked on some homework. It wasn't too long before you were struggling to keep your eyes open. Before you knew it you were waking up to a pretty empty coffee shop. You couldn't believe that you actually fell asleep. You glanced out the window to see that it was dark outside.
"Crap" you exclaimed, as you gathered your things and headed out the door. You placed your headphones in your ears as you began the walk back to your car which you left on the school campus. You were only a block away, when the tingling sensation from the previous night returned. You continued to walk at maybe a slower pace than before. You also paused your music and took your headphones back out and listened for any unusual sounds. You didn't hear anything, but you knew that you wouldn't feel satisfied until you looked behind you. After a few more steps you quickly turned your head around to see what was up. Expecting to see nothing, and that is was just your imagination, you were surprised to see a fleeting shadow duck into the alley you had just passed.
You decided to increase your pace and try to put as much distance between you and whatever it was that caused the shadow. You didn't get too far before you heard a growling approaching you from behind. You quickly turned around to see a creature that slightly resembled a wolf. The creature made eye contact as it began sprinting towards you. In that fleeting moment the word werewolf flashed through your mind as you began to flee. Whether you believed in the theory of werewolves or not, you decided that for the moment you would trust your instincts. You yanked at the chain of you necklace, it being the only silver thing you own, and continued to run.
It wasn't much longer until you found yourself falling toward the ground after being pounced on. Not wasting any time you manage to roll on your back in order to have the werewolf in your sights. It's claws were scratching into your front side, causing an overwhelming sense of pain. You took the triangle shaped pendent in your hand and stabbed it into the arm of the creature pinning you down. It didn't make much of an impact, but it caught the werewolf by surprise, causing it to loosen its grip. Not hesitating, you pulled your legs up and kicked it in the stomach, successfully getting it off of you. You rolled back to your feet, your backpack falling off in the process. You began to run once again, trying to find some level of safety. You turned down a street, trying to shake it off. That's when the pain couldn't be ignored anymore causing you to let out a scream and stop your movement. Your wounds were still bleeding, leading your vision to begin blurring.
You saw the werewolf getting closer and closer. You held one hand on your belly trying to apply some pressure to slow the bleeding, while the other gripped onto your silver pendent. You were trying to calculate the best way for you to survive this situation when all of a sudden you heard a voice behind you shout, "Get down!" Not needing to be told twice you ducked down, the movement forcing you to land on all fours. The werewolf was a few feet away when a gunshot rang through the air, killing the vicious beast in front of you. You took in a deep breath, and turned around to see your saviors.
Standing in front of you were two men, one really tall, with brown hair just below his ears, and the other a bit shorter with short brown hair. "Hey are you alright?" The tall one asked, lowering the gun he was holding.
You didn't know how to answer that. Just fifteen minutes earlier you were waking up from a nap and your biggest worry had been getting homework done, but since then you had something from myths attack you and you were still in pain. While you struggled to find the words to reply, your body made the decision for you. A sharp pain shocked through your body forcing a whimper from your lips.
At the sound, both of the men ran over to you. The tall one pulled you up, so you were being supported in his arms. "Hey, it's going to be okay. My brother and I can get you help. You're gonna have to move, do you think you can do that for me?" He asked looking in your eyes. You nodded your head as he helped you back into a standing position. You took a few steps trying to follow them before you stumbled, almost crashing back to the ground. The tall one place his arm around your waist and supported your steps until you were sitting in the backseat of a car.
Even though, you didn't know these strangers your brain decided that you were safe and the adrenaline began to fade causing you to become very sleepy. The lull of sleep took over quickly and you found yourself in a dreamless sleep.
When you came to, you found yourself lying on an unfamiliar bed, in what appeared to be a motel room. You sat up, feeling pain race through your sides and belly. You looked around to see two men sitting at a table near the window. The memory of last night flooded into your mind, helping you understand the current situation. You looked down and saw that you were bandaged around your waistline, with some accessory bandaids on your arms and chest.
"Hey look who's up!" A voice said. You brought your attention back to the other two occupants in the room.
"Are you doing alright? Do you need some water?" The tall one asked. You nodded your head, and accepted the glass he handed you. You took a few sips enjoying the way it felt on your parched throat.
"Who are you guys?" You asked.
"I'm Sam, and this is my brother Dean" The same one replied.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Y/N. Thanks for saving me last night" You replied with the ghost of a smile upon your face.
"Hey no problem. Sammy took care of your injuries but I have to ask did you get bit at all last night?" The one named Dean said, his green eyes piercing your Y/E/C ones.
"No it just tore at me mostly before I got away. Why would you as- wait was that creature actually a werewolf?" You exclaimed looking back and forth between the two brothers. The two glanced at each other.
"Why do you say that Y/N?" Sam's brown eyes searching yours.
"Well it was a full moon last night if I'm not mistaken. The animal that attacked me was way too big to be any normal wolf, plus Colorado hasn't had wolves in years. Also I did a little bit of research and it's the most accurate explanation for the animal attacks that have been happening. Plus, although it didn't do much, my silver necklace did surprise it. Besides why else would Dean ask me if I was bitten?"
They both looked shocked at the detail in your answer. You even could have sworn you saw Sam smile at you briefly.
"Well I guess there's no getting it by you. What you saw last night was a werewolf. We came here to hunt that sick son of a bitch down" Dean said.
"Really?! I can't believe it! I mean it was a theory, If I hadn't seen it myself I would think that you guys are crazy" You exclaimed, your worldview had just become larger. If werewolves are real? What else is? Before you could ask anymore questions, Sam spoke up. \
"Well it seems like you're feeling better so you probably should head home. I'm sure there are people worrying about you seeing as it's 4 in the morning and you haven't gotten home yet"
"Oh yeah! My roommates are probably worried about me, wondering where I got off to."
It didn't take long before you were stepping out of the Impala after Sam and Dean told you to take care. You walked towards your apartment before a voice behind you slowed your steps.
"Hey Y/N!" Sam called out. You turned around to see him jogging towards you.
"What's up?" You said looking up at him.
"Dean and I won't be in town for much longer, but I wanted to give you my number just in case something comes up. If something does happen at anytime feel free to give me a call, okay." Sam handed you a piece of paper and patted you on your shoulder.
"Got it, thanks." You smiled and turned back to the building, and buzzing your roommates to let you seeing as your keys were in your missing backpack.
