Disclaimer: Neither the boys nor anything related to Supernatural belongs to me. I'm just having some fun with the boys, playing around with Eric Kripke's sandbox.
DEM BONES
By: Vanessa Sgroi
Sam tapped a few more keys before sitting back with a sigh.
Looking up from his journal, Dean frowned. "What's up?"
"I think I know what we're after."
"Oh?"
"I think we're hunting a Caalabro."
"Okay, that's a new one…"
"Says here that a Caalabro appears as a skeleton with blood leaking from its empty eye sockets. Has a real taste for human flesh, especially the eyes."
Dean grimaced. "Great. How do we kill it?"
"Not it…them. There's a picture here titled a fesnyng of Caalabro."
"A what?"
"Fesnyng. It's the collective noun they used here for these creatures. Like a murder of crows."
As Dean's eyes rolled at the impromptu vocabulary lesson, Sam finished with, "Basically, these things make themselves an army."
"You mean like those skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts?"
"What?"
"You remember that old movie—we watched it when we were kids."
"Oh, yeah—vaguely, I guess."
"So do we kill them with swords?"
Sam's eyes scanned the computer screen again. "Spelled blades of silver, honed with blood. So…yeah. But no way can we take out an army of skeletons on our own, Dean."
Dean grabbed his cell. "So we'll assemble our own Army of Darkness."
