AN: Hey Readers! Welcome to the third book in our Bakers, Hunters and Pie series. Our first book, Witch Pie? deals with our favorite hunters meeting these oc bakers and the second book, Mourning Pie deals with John's death and how that affected our hunters and bakers. We'd recommend reading them first :)

We hope you enjoy reading Cursed Pie? and if you need a fluffy pick me up, head over to Slices of Pie for a growing Anthology of shorts.


The Road so Far:

Mae was excited every time she heard from Sam; sometimes their calls lasted for hours as they discussed the boys' cases and the goings on around Sioux Falls.

The first call came a few weeks after John's funeral. He told her all about meeting Ellen, Jo and Ash, and then he told her about the case they got while there. She shuddered as they both expressed their hatred of clowns. She smiled as she listened to him, happy the lead had turned out to be a good one.

Dean also called occasionally, all to happy to torment Mae with threats of revealing her feelings to Sam. He doesn't, simply because he's realized that Sam has a returned interest in the girl and he wants to make his brother sweat over whether she likes him back - plus it would be unsportsmanlike since he only knows of her crush because he overheard the girls talking.

As the calls continued over the year, it slowly dawns on the brothers that Mae and Lilly were genuine in their interest. When they asked how a case was going, or just how the brothers were doing in general, they sincerely wanted to know. For Dean and Sam it was a strange feeling, knowing someone else cared about them, but one they eagerly accepted. They found themselves calling the girls simply to talk. They even stopped by now and then, though another case always called them away. Dean managed to stay supplied in pies though.

One night Mae was doodling in her sketch pad, and Lilly working on a new pie recipe when a special report was issued on the national news .They watched in terror when they realized Sam and Dean were involved in a bank robbery. The two were temporarily frozen while watched the developments in horror. They eventually called Bobby in a panic, who called them Gidjits and insisted that the boys knew what they were doing. At their pleading, he came over to watch the news report with them. Both girls were enthralled with the 'bank heist' tale once they finally connected again with the brothers.

When Dean and Sam decided to take on a job in a prison (by getting themselves arrested!), they informed the sisters before beginning- just so the girls wouldn't be so alarmed if they showed up on the news again. Well, that and Lilly had given them a thorough tongue-lashing.

Things returned to a semblance of normal after that. The Winchesters would call and update Mae and Lilly on their cases and tell stories from the road. There was apparently a case where a genie was involved, but neither brother would give many specifics.

It was about this time that Lilly noticed Mae was having a hard time sleeping and woke up often throughout the night screaming. Mae never remembered the next morning though, and Lilly was almost too afraid to ask. One morning, Mae insisted on calling Sam, fearful that something had happened to him. He didn't answer, and it's was several days before the brothers got back to them. Mae breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of Sam's voice, relieved that her nightmare had been just that; a nightmare.

And life went on...
