Winchester Siblings

In:

Wendigo

Palo Alto, California…

Sam walked over to Jessica's headstone carrying a bouquet of flowers with him. He stared sadly at her headstone for a few seconds before he began to talk.

"I, um… you always said roses were lame, so, I brought you, uh…"

Sam trailed off, and just kept studying the small picture of Jess on her headstone. A look of regret casted over his face. He sighed.

"Jess… oh God… I should have protected you. I should have told you the truth,"

As he went to place the flowers on the gravestone, a hand reached up and grabbed his wrist.

Sam woke with a start in the passenger seat of the impala, to find a concerned Dean and Katie staring at him.

"Sam are you okay?" Katie asked softly, touching her brother's shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm fine Katie," Sam replied.

"Another nightmare?" Dean inquired.

Sam cleared his throat, letting his siblings know that he didn't want to talk about his nightmare.

"Want to drive for a while?" Dean offered.

"Hey! No fair! I can only drive the impala when we're driving in shifts!" Katie whined.

Dean ignored Katie's whining.

Sam laughed. "Dean, in your whole life, you never once asked me that,"

"Well, I just thought you might want to. Never mind," said Dean.

"Look man, you're worried I get it, and thank you, but I'm perfectly okay. Same goes for you, Katie,"

Katie and Dean exchanged glances in the rearview mirror; Sam was being secretive, and he was not telling them anything about his reoccurring nightmares of Jess. However, they let Sam have his space because Dean and Katie would be there for Sam when he finally wanted to talk.

Sam stared out the dashboard window, lost in his own thoughts for a few minutes before clearing the awkward tension in the impala and turned his attention back to the map they were using to find their father.

Sam cleared his throat again. "All right. Where are we?"

"We are just outside of Grand Junction," Katie promptly replied.

"Guys, you know what? Maybe we shouldn't have left Stanford so soon,"

"Sam, we dug around there for a week. We came up with nothing. If you want to find the thing that killed Jessica…" said Dean.

"We have to find Dad first, I know Dean,"

"Dad's disappearance and this thing showing up again after twenty years? It can't be a coincidence. Besides, Dad will have answers, like he always does," Katie added.

"These are some weird coordinates he left us. This Black Water Ridge..."

"What about it?" Dean questioned.

"There's nothing there. It's just woods,"

"Why would Dad be sending us to the middle of nowhere?' Katie asked.

"Kat, I have no idea, but whatever Dad leaves for us, we follow. We will eventually catch up with him at some point," Dean replied.

The impala passed an old sign that read: Welcome to Lost Creek, Colorado, and below in green letters was National Forest.

Dean parked the impala in front of the Ranger Station for the Lost Creek trail just outside the Lost Creek National Forest. The siblings got out of the impala and headed inside, to gather more information on Black Water Ridge.

"So Black Water Ridge is pretty remote. It's cut off by these canyons here- rough terrain, dense forest, abandoned silver and gold mines all over the place..." said Sam, studying the terrain map of the National forest alongside Katie.

"Guys, check out the size of this friggin' bear," said Dean, staring at a framed picture up on the wall.

"And a dozen or more grizzlies in the area. It's no nature hike, that's for sure," Sam finished.

They both walked over to study the picture of the grizzly Dean was looking at.

"I hope you three aren't planning to go out near Black Water Ridge, by any chance?" The local ranger inquired.

"Oh, no sir, we are environmental study majors from U.C. Boulder- just working on a project," said Sam.

"Recycle, man," Dean added.

"Bull. You guys are friends with that Hailey girl, right?"

"Yes, yes we are Ranger… Wilkinson," said Katie.

"Well, I will tell you exactly what I told her. Her brother filled out a backcountry permit saying he wouldn't be back from Black Water until the 24th. So it's not exactly a missing persons now, is it? Tell that girl to quit worrying. I'm sure her brother is just fine,"

"We will," Katie promised.

Ranger Wilkinson began to walk away from the Winchesters when Dean called him back.

"You know what would help us, if we could get a copy of that backcountry permit to show her- you know, so she could see her brother's return date," said Dean.

The siblings walked out of the station, with a victorious Dean holding a copy of the backcountry permit.

"What, are you cruising for a hook up or something?" Sam asked, annoyed.

"What do you mean?" Dean asked.

"We have the coordinates to Black Water Ridge. Let's go find Dad. Why do we even need to talk to this girl?"

"No need to be in a rush, Sam. Dean and I prefer to know what we're walking into before we actually walk into it," Katie answered.

"Man Sammy, since when are you all 'shoot first, and ask questions later'?" Dean inquired.

"Since now," Sam replied darkly.

Sam got in the passenger side door before Dean and Katie exchanged glances. Sam was obviously still distraught about Jessica's death, so they will have to tread lightly.

Katie slid into the backseat of the impala, and Dean got in after her so they could go talk to the sister who claims her brother went missing up on Black Water Ridge.

Dean pulled in front of Hailey's house, which was on the copy of the backcountry permit that her brother had filled out. The siblings got out and with Dean leading the way, walked to the front door. Dean knocked, and a young woman answered.

"You must be Hailey Collins. I'm Dean, this is Sam and Katie. We're rangers with the Park Service. Ranger Wilkinson sent us over. We wanted to ask you some questions about your brother, Tommy,"

"Why are there three of you? And, let me see some I.D.," said Hailey.

"Oh, Katie is a rookie in training, and she got assigned to shadow us for a few days. Here's my I.D.," Dean replied, holding out his I.D. badge.

Hailey studied the I.D. for a few seconds before allowing them to enter.

"Come on in," Hailey sighed reluctantly.

"Thanks," said Dean.

Hailey spotted the impala parked out front.

"That yours?" Hailey asked.

Katie silently rolled her eyes. Hailey laid eyes on Dean's pride and joy.

"Yeah," said Dean as he flashed a smile.

"Nice car,"

Hailey retreated back into her house, leaving Dean, Sam and Katie to follow her in.

"So if Tommy's not due back for a while, how do you know something is wrong?" Sam asked.

"He checks in everyday by cell. He e-mails photos, stupid little videos, but we haven't heard anything in over three days now,"

"Well, maybe he can't get cell reception," Katie inferred.

"He's got a satellite phone too,"

"Could it be he's just having fun and forgot checking in?" Dean inquired.

"He wouldn't do that," Hailey's little brother interjected.

"Our parents are gone. It's just my two brothers and me. We all keep pretty close tabs on each other,"

"Can I see the pictures he sent you?" Sam asked.

"Yeah,"

Hailey walked over to their computer and pulled up the pictures her brother sent. The Winchesters followed to crowd around the monitor.

"That's Tommy… and this is his last message,"

Hey, Hailey. Day six. We're still out near Black Water Ridge. We're fine, keeping safe, so don't worry, okay? Talk to you tomorrow,"

"Well, we'll find your brother. We're heading out to Black Water Ridge first thing," said Dean.

"Then maybe I'll see you there,"

The siblings quickly exchanged glances of worry. If they don't know what's out on Black Water Ridge, it could be dangerous for anyone besides themselves.

"Look, I can't sit around here anymore, so I hired a guide. I'm heading out in the morning, and I'm gonna find Tommy myself,"

"I think I know how you feel," said Katie.

"Hey, you mind forwarding these to me?" Sam inquired.

"Sure," Hailey replied.

I hoped you liked this first chapter! I'm trying my best to stay by the storyline of the actual episode, so tell me what you think, and leave a review! Chapter 2 will be coming soon enough!
