What if Croatoan took place right after Dead Man's Blood?
John walked into the cabin him and the boys were staying in. "We should get going. Those vampires still have our scent and they probably aren't too happy with us."
"That's probably understatement of the year," Dean replied remembering the leader being shot by the Colt and going down.
"Where are we going?" Sam asked.
"Salvation, Iowa. I think there have been some demonic omens there," John answered.
Sam was thinking about asking for details, but decided not to. He and his dad were actually getting along for a change and he didn't feel like rocking the boat.
"Sam and I had a chance for a heart to heart yesterday, and I'd like the same opportunity with Dean. Sam, why don't you follow us in the Impala, while Dean rides with me in the truck."
"OK," Sam said.
Dean wondered what his dad wanted to talk to him about, but it was OK with him. He had missed his dad this past year. They finished packing up the vehicles in silence.
"OK, Sam, stick close," John said as he got in his truck.
Sam nodded and slid into the Impala as Dean got in the passenger seat of his dad's truck.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Dean asked.
"Anything weird been going on?" John asked.
"Weirder than normal?"
"Yes," John asked seriously.
"Not really,"Dean said, wondering what this was all about.
"Nothing strange going on with your brother?" John pressed.
"Dad, what is this about?" Dean asked.
"Has Sam been having any psychic episodes?" John finally asked directly.
"He had a dream about something being in our old house. That's why we went to Lawrence. And then a couple of months later, he had a dream about this guy in Michigan, which was followed up with visions during the day about the rest of his family being killed. How did you know?" Dean asked.
"Why didn't you tell me?" John asked, ignoring Dean's question.
"We didn't know what it meant," Dean answered.
"Something like this starts happening to your brother, you pick up the phone and call me," John said angrily. It had started so much sooner than he thought. This wasn't good.
"How did you know?" Dean asked again. Obviously something was going on and he wanted to know what.
John was thinking about how to answer when he looked in the rearview mirror and saw the Impala swerving wildly and finally somehow coming to a stop safely at the side of the road.
"What the hell?" John asked and pulled over.
Dean turned around just in time to see the tail end and jumped out the truck almost before it had stopped.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Sam was following behind his dad and brother. He wasn't used to driving long distances without Dean in the car. It was kind of weird. He thought about turning on the music, but it was Dean's music and if he switched the station to something he liked and forgot to turn it back, Dean would be giving him crap about his sissy music.
Suddenly, Sam didn't see the road ahead of him anymore, but a room that looked like a doctor's office or something. He saw himself tied to a chair and his dad standing over him. There was nobody else in the room.
"I'm sorry, Sammy, but you're going to be a monster," his dad said. Before Sam had any time to say anything or react, his dad shot him in the head.
The world came back into focus and Sam realized he was driving, and not particularly well. He fought to get the car under control and onto the side of the road.
