A/N: Disclaimer: I own Beth, and only Beth. I do not own Supernatural (Though I wish I did) or the song this is based off of: "Perfect" by Simple Plan.
Dean is 26, Sam is 22, Beth is 21
This starts at Wendigo because Beth is missing in the first episode, hence the conversation between Sam and Dean in the Short Prologue
Thanks for choosing this story, ENJOY!
SHORT PROLOGUE
"Dean, take your brother outside, as fast as you can." John yells, giving 2 year-old Sam to 6 year-old Dean. "What about-" "Now Dean! GO!" Dean runs outside...John had forgotten his 1 year old daughter, Bethany, in her room during the fire. She was alright when a firefighter brought her out, nothing but one small burn above her right eye, which would stay as a scar for life.
**************SPN****************
"Dean, why do I have a scar above my eye?" asked a ten year old Beth. She had finally gotten an answer from her father about why he always went away- he told her some basic things about hunting, what he hunted, why he hunted- and was starting to question Dean and Sam, mostly Dean since he was older, on everything that she hadn't gotten answers to before: why did they salt windows? why do they always move? and the hardest for him to answer: what happened to Mum? He answered honestly and the best he could without dumping too much info on her. This one, though, he had to lie. "I told you, kiddo, you were born with it" Dean answered untruthfully. "Nope, because in the picture with Mum, I didn't have it. After that, it's there. You're lying Dean" He walked over to where she was standing and bent down to her level. "Okay, promise you won't tell Dad I told you this?" She nodded. "In the fire, you were in your room. Dad..." Dean had to come up with a lie, and fast. "...he couldn't get to you. He tried, but couldn't. You got burned in the fire" Dean explained. "That's it? That's why you lied? That's nothing!" She exclaimed. 'Oh, if only you knew the truth' He thought
***********SPN**********
"Well, not only is Dad missing, like that isn't enough, but so is Beth" Dean said. "What?!" Sam yelled.
"Shut up! We don't wanna wake up the whole neighbourhood...She went on a hunt, 2 weeks ago, haven't seen her since" Dean acted calmed, like nothing happened. But on this inside; he was freaking out, all he could think was 'Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I lost her! It's my fault!'
"Don't worry, Dean. We'll find her" Sam said, putting a comforting hand on Dean's shoulder. But honestly, Sam wasn't so sure himself.
NOW
Dean Winchester, and his younger brother Sam walked up to the house of Haley Collins, the girl who Ranger Wilkinson mentioned at the Ranger Station. Sam didn't really want to do this, he just wanted to go looking for his father and sister. His father left them coordinates, which just happened to be Blackwater Ridge, meaning he obviously wanted them to do something there. He couldn't say this to Dean though, Sam knew exactly what he would say. 'So now you decide to do what Dad says..' Beth wouldn't say that though, he would have been able to tell her. Somehow, his mind always wandered back to Beth. Whether it was things like "what she would do if she were here right now?" or "Beth would have definitely said that..." or a memory; her running after Sam when he left her for college, Beth helping him bandage a wound he got on a hunt, her knocking out some weird thing they were hunting when it nearly killed Sam...Beth was always there for Sam, and vice versa. At that moment, he swore to get Beth back, no matter what.
Sam came back to reality, stopped thinking about Beth, when Dean knocked on on the door, and the door opened to reveal Haley Collins. "You must be Haley Collins. I'm Dean, this is Sam, we're, ah, we're rangers with the Park Service. Ranger Wilkinson sent us over. He wanted us to ask a few questions about your brother Tommy." Dean said. Haley hesitated before saying
"Let me see some I.D"
Dean pulled out his fake I.D. Haley looked at it, and then to Dean, who smiled at her, before opening the door for them.
"Come on in"
Haley lead Sam and Dean into the kitchen, where her younger brother Ben is sitting at his computer.
"So if Tommy's not due back for a while, how do you know something's wrong?" Sam asked. "He checks in every day by cell. He emails, photos, stupid little videos-we haven't heard anything in over three days now." Haley said.
"Maybe he can't get reception" Sam suggested. "He's got a satellite phone, too" Haley said. "Could it be he's just having too much fun and forgot to call" Dean suggested with a small smile.
"He wouldn't do that!" Ben, Haley's younger brother, snapped.
"Our parents are gone. It's just my two brothers and me. We all keep pretty close tabs on each other." Haley said.
"Can I see the pictures he sent you?" Sam asked.
"Yeah" Haley opened a laptop sitting on a small table, and opened her email. She opened up a photo of Tommy sitting with one of his friends. "That's Tommy" She pointed to the one on the left. She opened up a video.
-Video-
"Hey Haley, day six, we're still out near Blackwater Ridge. We're fine, keeping safe, so don't worry, okay? Talk to you tomorrow. Oh, I almost! Say hi to Beth! We met her yesterday, she stayed the night and, unfortunately, is going tonight" Tommy flipped the camera around, to face a smiling Beth. "Isn't she so beautiful?" He said, turning her cheeks red.
"You, are the nicest guy I've ever met" She said, smiling."Well, bye guys!"
The two brothers eyed each other.
"Well, we'll find your brother. We're heading out to Blackwater Ridge first thing." Dean said. "Then maybe I'll see you there. Look, I can't sit around here anymore. So I hired a guy. I'm heading out in the morning, and I'm gonna find Tommy myself."
"I think I know how you feel." Dean said, eyeing Sam again, but neither he nor Haley noticed. "Hey, do you mind forwarding these to me?" Sam asked. "Sure."
"So, we know where Beth is" Sam said. They walked into a bar, they decided to go there after visiting Haley.
"Thank God" Dean muttered, as he slid into a seat at a table, Sam sitting across from him. "Now comes the fun part; finding her" Sam said.
"Well first we need to find out what we're up against; we can't go running in without any idea what we're going to face" Dean said.
"You got anything?" Dean asked, referring to any research that could help them out.
"Yeah. Nothing really useful, though. This past April, two hikers went missing out there. They were never found." Sam said, pulling out their father's journal.
"Any before that?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, in 1982, eight different people all vanished in the same year. Authorities said it was a grizzly attack." Sam said, as he pulled out a newspaper article for Dean:
"GRIZZLY BEAR ATTACKS!
UP TO EIGHT HIKERS VANISH IN LOST CREEK AREA
HIKERS DISAPPEARANCE BAFFLE AUTHORITIES'
"And again in 1959 and before that in 1936" Sam said. "Every twenty-three years" Sam opens his laptop to reveal Tommy's video.
"I download the video to the laptop, check this out" Sam pulled up the video and went through three frames of the video one at a time. A shadow crossed the screen. "Do that again" Dean said. Sam does.
"That's 3 frames, a fraction of a second. Whatever it is, it moves fast" Dean said. Sam closed the laptop and said "And whatever it is, it has Beth"
-Time Skip: Later On, In The Mine-
Sam walks over to Beth, hanging from a rope that bounded her wrists together. He touches her cheek, and her head snaps up to him. She's grown so much in the last two years he thought. "Sammy?" She whispers, her ice blue eyes peering down to her older brother, whom she had not seen in two years.
"Yeah, Beth. It's me, and we're going to get you of here" He said, struggling to untie her hands, which were bounded together by several layers of rope.
"You've got to get out of here, Sam! It'll come back, go!"
"I'm not leaving without you" Sam argued. Damn, he's still as stubborn as ever she thought. She rubbed her sore, raw wrists that Sam had finally succeeded in untying. He grabbed her elbow gently, pulling Beth to her feet with ease. The two siblings walked back to their older brother.
"Beth!" Dean exclaimed, spotting the two and running over to them. "Hey Dean" Beth smiled as her brother wrapped his arms around her. "I swear, you ever do that again, I'll shoot you" He said. Beth grinned. I'm glad to back where I belong.
"Hey, look at this" Sam said, picking up a gun. Flare gun, actually.
"Flare guns." She said, inspecting one that Sam had tossed to Dean.
"These will work" Sam said, grinning. They headed down the tunnel, Sam and Dean taking the lead with their flare guns, Haley and Ben in the middle, supporting Tommy who was limping, and Beth with her own flare gun at the end, in case the thing shows up behind them, when suddenly they heard a growl. That meant one thing: it was back.
"Looks like someone's home for dinner" Dean whispered.
"We'll never outrun it." Haley said quietly, careful not to catch the attention of the...the thing. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Dean looked back and forth between his siblings.
"Yeah, I think so." Beth sighed. Dean turned to their three companions.
"All right, listen to me. Stay with Sam. He's gonna get you out of here."
"What are you gonna do?" Haley asked. Dean winks at her and starts walking and yelling. "Chow time, you freaky bastard! Yeah, that's right, bring it on, baby, I'm feeling good."
Sam waited until Dean was a safe distance away before turning to them. "All right, come on! Hurry!" and they followed Sam into the tunnel.
They thought they were almost safe, until they heard it; more growling.
"Get him outta here. I'll catch up" Sam said. "Sam, no." Beth protested.
"Go! Go! GO!" Sam yelled "Come on, Beth" Haley said. Haley, Ben, a half-conscious Tommy, and Beth walked down the tunnel. Sam suddenly ran up behind them.
"Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry." They ran to the end of the tunnel, the Wendigo right behind them.
"Get behind me." Sam said, and they obeyed, except for Beth, who stepped in front of Sam. "Beth, get behind me! Before it attacks you!" Sam yelled, when Dean comes up behind the Wendigo, which was quickly approaching them.
"Hey!" Dean yelled to it, and it turned as Dean shoots it in the stomach. The flare goes off and the Wendigo goes up in flames.
"Not bad, huh?"
*Part 2 of "Wendigo" will be up soon! Part 2 includes the ending of Wendigo, and a small part not in the episode!*
