Whipping, Barking Beauty
Chapter 1- The New Hunt
Sam and Dean ran in too late. The woman was already dead and the demon had disappeared.
"Damn it!" Dean kicked a chair nearby, in fury.
"We were so close. It's a shame." Sam said sadly. He knelt down beside her, inspecting her injuries; slashes, from a whip. Sam sighed. Dean didn't know, but Sam had had a soft spot for her.
"We better give her a proper burial… well at least the best that we can." Dean said, scratching his head.
Scurry, scurry.
"Dean… did you hear that?" Sam asked a little creeped out.
"Yeah…" he answered, looking around. "Sam! Look out!" Dean shouted, as something pounced on Sam.
"Aaahhhhhh!" Sam shouted.
"Ruff! Ruff!" A little Jack Russell puppy started licking Sam on the face.
"Hey! It's only a puppy. Can we keep it?" Sam laughed, cuddling it.
"What!? Are you crazy?"
"What? We couldn't save its owner, so we might as well try to save it. At least for a little while." Sam explained trying to use a guilt trip on him.
"I s'pose you're right. Give me a look him…" Sam handed Dean the puppy. He examined it.
"What's your name boy?" Dean looked at the name tag hanging around its neck. "Lucy?" Dean said, confused.
"But that's a girl's name." Sam pointed out.
"Well, that would explain a lot…" Dean said examining the puppy closer.
The puppy then nipped Dean on the nose, growling.
"Ow!" Dean exclaimed. Dean stared at the puppy. The puppy glared at him and Dean saw her eyes turn red.
"Oh shit!" Dean said, as he dropped her. Sam laughed.
"I think she likes you." Sam laughed again as the puppy started peeing on Dean's shoe.
"Shut up…" Dean muttered.
"No! Well at least she likes me." Sam teased.
"What!? I found her!" Dean shouted.
"Oh. So now it's 'she'? Not 'he'? Anyway, no you didn't. I found her, she pounced on me!" Sam argued.
"I can't believe this… it's playing mind tricks. It's evil…" Dean said frustrated.
"Whatever. You're just jealous that she likes me better." Sam said rubbing noses with Lucy.
"Ah… maybe it's just me, but… we're forgetting that there's a dead woman on the floor!" Dean shouted.
"Oh yeah…" Sam said, going slightly red, cuddling Lucy.
"C'mon. We'll bury her."
Sam and Dean trudged through the thick foliage to the woman's favourite place, Lucy trotting closely behind. They had been trying to help this woman for ages and they had become relatively close to her… well, at least, Sam had… Dean just wanted to kick the demon's butt, and send it rotting, back to hell. But this was proving hard, as all they knew about her was that she had a whip.
Dean dug out the grave and gently placed the woman in it. Sam watched sadly, allowing only a single tear to slide down his cheek.
"C'mon Sam. Put the puppy down. You can fill in the grave as I had to dig it out." Dean said exhausted. Sam shot him a look.
"I'm only comforting Lucy. Look, she's upset." Sam explained, even though Lucy's tail was wagging. Dean rolled his eyes. Sam sighed and picked up the shovel.
"Ah…Sammy. Before you do, chuck the dog in. Maybe we can bury it with her and get rid of it, before anyone notices." Dean joked.
"What? Dean, no! How can you be so heartless?" Sam was shocked. He started filling in the grave (without Lucy in it).
After burying the woman, they had decided to go back to the woman's house to get any supplies for Lucy. They reached the woman's house and searched for her belongings, but they couldn't find anything.
"That's odd." Said Dean scratching his head puzzled.
"What's wrong with you? Got lice or something?" Sam joked.
"What? No. C'mon. It's getting late and I'm exhausted. We'll improvise." Sam and Dean walked out of the house more confused than ever.
