I do NOT own supernatural or any other parts of that magnificent show. I do own Layla and Landon......that's about it...and that piece of grass on my shoe but that's it.
How was I possibly supposed to do this? I focused my eyes on the target in front of me, not ten feet away. I closed my eyes, clearing my thoughts and mind of only my cell phone moving toward me.
Breathing in, I held out my hand and waited for my phone.
Nothing.
I tried again, shifting a bit.
Still nothing. Well hell.
I opened my eyes and walked the ten feet to the small kitchen to grab my phone.
"Still trying?"
I turned around to see my younger sister, Layla, putting her bronze hair into a ponytail.
I nodded. "Yeah. Not working too well, though. I swear Ruby's screwing with me."
Layla laughed, amused by my whining. "You're so impatient, Laney. She told you it'd take awhile."
She sat down on her bed and shuffled through her duffel bag. I sat on my bed, flipping open my phone and going to the games.
"Well, we don't have 'awhile'. We've got," I looked at my watch. "ten weeks, four days and three odd hours. We shouldn't be wasting this time."
She took out her shotgun and started pulling it apart. "Yeah, I know. You remind me every day."
I rolled my eyes and flipped my phone shut. "Wasn't Ruby supposed to show up soon, or something?"
Layla looked up at me through her lashes and shook her head in amusement. "Yes. She called me before I got in the shower. She had to check in with someone and then she'd be here."
I scoffed and laid back on my bed. "Yeah, check in with someone. She had to go have a brewsky with the devil."
"No, I don't think I did, actually."
I shot up and looked in the corner of our motel room. Ruby was standing there, her arms folded across her chest and her black eyes glaring at me.
"Did you doubt me again?" she asked.
I scoffed. "Hell yeah, I did. You're always somewhere else when we need you. What's up with that?"
She shrugged and walked to a chair and sat down. She put her feet up on the table and leaned back. "I have other," she stopped, choosing the right word. "clients to attend too. Sorry you're not center of attention, Landon."
I glared at her, giving her a smug look. "Well, you're here. What do you want?"
Ruby didn't speak for a second. She looked at her nails.
Layla looked up and rolled her eyes at her. "Ruby, please."
"Oh fine! You guys are no fun." She stood up and pulled a piece of paper from her back pocket.
I took the paper before Layla could get it.
Dean and Sam Winchester.
I looked up at Ruby. "The Winchesters? What's so important about them?"
Ruby picked up my knife and twirled it between her fingers. "Those boys are your tickets to Lilith. Find them and she'll be there."
Layla put her gun part down and looked at Ruby. "Are you sure? We've been chasing her for, God knows how long. It can't be that easy."
Ruby threw down the knife and it landed in the table. "Well, if you don't want to find Lilith fine. I'll take my information back and just let you two guinea pigs figure it out for yourselves."
I stood up and flicked my wrist at her. She flew to the wall and smacked into it. She clutched her throat as I cut off her air way. "Who are you calling a 'guinea pig'?"
Layla came up beside me and put her hand on my shoulder. "Let her go, Landon."
My eyes flickered to my sister then back to Ruby. She looked frightened by me. I laughed inside. Good.
I let her go and sat back down. "Get out, Ruby."
I looked to Layla and nodded. She looked at Ruby. "We'll go after the Winchesters' tomorrow."
Ruby nodded. "Good. Once you find them, be careful. They won't be expecting other hunters."
We both nodded as she walked over to the door and opened it. She turned around and smiled at me. "Oh, and Landon? Be careful with your new found gift. You'll poke someone's eye out."
I gritted my teeth and stood up. A lamp flew across the room as the door shut. The lamp crashed against the door and I punched a wall.
"I really hate her, Lay." I growled, picking up my knife and twirling it in my hand.
My sister nodded and hugged me. "Me too, Landon."
I rolled my eyes and hugged her back. My sister the sissy.
I pulled away from her and laid on my bed. Ruby told us to go to the Winchesters'. I couldn't go down that alley again. Not after what had happened with Sam. It was way too risky. Not just for me, but for Layla. I wouldn't put her in that kind of danger again.
"Wake me up when we're leaving. Don't answer the door. Got it?" I said, closing my eyes and getting comfortable.
"Yes, moron. I got it." Layla replied. She mumbled something else but I was already passed out to hear her.
