It was the middle of the night when Sam was woken, he was with his brother Dean, in a cheap hotel room, somewhere, he wasn't even sure where he was anymore, he'd been to so many different towns that he'd stopped caring where they were going, where they were leaving from, or where they might end up, besides, all he and dean ever did in their lives was kill ghosts and defeat demons, all this was to help people, they never did anything for themselves.
This time they were on their way to a town somewhere in the middle of Texas, but where exactly it was, Sam had no idea. This time, Sam and Dean were to face their biggest challenge yet. But that was all going to happen in the morning, when they actually got there, for now they were in a hotel in a town called Elmo, (which was quite ironic as until Dean was about 15 years old, he went to bed with an Elmo toy every night) which was near Dallas, and somewhere near where they were headed this time.
"Dean, Dean, wake up" Sam said softly
Dean rolled over "What is it Sammy? Do you need me to take you to the toilet or something?" he said with a tired smirk on his face "Seriously Sam, go back to sleep you can tell me in the morning"
"No, Dean, I heard something outside" Sam said testing his brother's patience
"Sam, will you go back to sleep, it was probably just a cat in the dumpster" Dean said and within five seconds he was once again snoring beside his brother in the double bed of the only room the hotel had left, as they had arrived late that night.
After about half an hour, Sam had had enough of Deans snoring so he decided that he may as well go to sleep, and face up to what ever it was outside, whether it was a cat or something much more sinister, in the morning.
It was two or three hours later and still early hours of the morning, really early in the morning, it was about 3 or 4am when Sam and Dean both sat bolt upright, at exactly the same time.
Sam turned to Dean "I told you there was something wrong."
"Ok, ok, I believe you know" Dean said, he was more awake now then he was before, but still he was sitting in the bed yawning.
They both got up and Dean went to the toilet while Sam went around to all the doors and windows to recheck that they were locked and salted, as was the usual protocol in these sorts of happenings, and as usual Dean came out of the bathroom, finding Sam checking the windows and doors and said to him, "Sam, why are you doing that, you know that we did that when we arrived, you worry about the finer points way to much."
But this time they both knew it was different, they both knew that whatever it was that was out there knew who they were, and were planning something against them, and by getting them hear in the small town of Elmo in Texas.
