Chapter 2
As dean turned on to the drive way that led to the house, he was amazed by the size of the corn field. The drive way its self seemed to go on for ever and the cornstalks were taller then 7 ft at least. The drive way was dirt, no gravel laid down at all. Sam could see scarecrows in the corn field spread out every 30 feet or so. He couldn't help but shiver at the memories of the last time he saw a scare crow, in that small town of Burkitsville, were they were ready to sacrifice dean and there niece to gods. He remembered how that scare crow could jump off of the stake and savagely murder people. It was also the first time he met Meg the girl possessed by a demon.
Dean looked over at Sam who was staring at the scarecrow in the field. He knew exactly what his brother was thinking about, the homicidal scarecrow that they faced. That basterd almost made him sushi. Dean glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that angelica was sleeping. He was guessing her nightmares were still persistent at night. He felt helpless because he could not fight a night mare.
"She's sleeping in the back should we leave her in the car while we check out the house." Dean asked Sam while glancing back again to see if she responded to his voice.
"I don't know do you think its safe to leave her out here alone, we don't really know what's out there yet" Sam replied looking out at the corn field seeing if he could see any thing while they had the gift of the sun available. Unfortunately he didn't see any thing but corn. Dean finally 5 minutes later pulled up to the house. He parked the car and opened his door; He looked up at the big empty house. He could see the house is still in good condition which he would expect from only being abandoned for 3 months. Sam got out and walked over to the side of the car angelica was sitting in, he stared down through the window not sure what to do and decided not to wake her, instead he opened her door. Her figure laid there undisturbed by the sounds of the door. He leaned down and picked her up one arm under her knees, the other arm be hind her back, she stirred and leaned her head on his shoulder. Hopefully she would not wake up in his arms and freak out. He kicked the door closed behind him and stood next to dean who was still staring at the house. Dean looked over at his brother for a second then looked back with surprise.
"what are you doing man, what you really think some thing would get her out here, we could have locked her in you know." Dean said to him wondering what his brother was going to do with her, hopefully he didn't try to carry her the hole time. Dean headed for the steps leading to the front door Sam in tow. He looked in through a side window to get a glimpse of what might be facing them inside. He saw a large living room with a fire place and two large couches and on the opposite side a dinning room and in-between the too about 6 feet away was a stair case. Dean walked over to the door and tried to open it. It was locked.
"its locked, let me see if I can find another place to go in. weight here" dean said before running off around the side of the house, leaving Sam with angelica in his arms. Some how in the process of walking up to the house she had wrapped her arms around his neck and put her head on his upper shoulder. He looked down at her and saw that she was dreaming, her eyes were moving behind her closed eye lids. As he stood there he remembered the time he carried Jessica in to there apartment sound asleep after seeing a late movie, he remembered placing her on the bed and kissing her, she kissed him back and they made love all night. Sam felt tears forming in his eyes and falling down his face. He new he still loved Jessica even though she was gone but he new he needed to move on. He looked down and saw his tears had landed on angelicas cheek. He had no way of wiping his eyes so he closed them hoping it would make them stop, he felt a hand wipe the tears away, when he opened his eyes angelica's eyes met his. She looked at him worried.
"What's wrong" she asked him concerned.
"Nothing, I'm fine just bad memories." He replied to her faking a smile.
"I hope they don't have to do with accidentally dropping a baby because I could be in trouble." She said to him seriously. He couldn't help but laugh at that comment and stared back at her thankful that she didn't exactly now what happened to Jessica. The door opened in front of them and dean was staring at them with a serious face.
"She's awake now Sammy, don't you think you should put her down maybe" Dean said to him, giving angelica a big grin when Sam put her down.
"Ladies first" he said and angelica entered the house amazed that it was this clean after three months.
"So know what do we do" she asked them not really sure what to do with her self.
"We look for clues as to what is going on here, Spells, odd objects, dead bodies buried in the basement, you now spooky things." Dean said the last part with enthusiasm. Sam looked around the living room taking in the surroundings not sure if there was any thing in this room he went and opened some draws on a dresser, shifting around through some bills and papers seeing nothing important.
"I'm going to go up stairs" dean said then looked at angelica "why don't you come with me while Sammy looks around down here"
"Ok, your not going to try to be a jerk and scare me, are you?" she asked looking at dean not fully trusting him.
"No it's just in case if any thing happens, every time your with Sam when were looking for clues, he seems to loose you" dean said to her mainly referring to the cemetery incident were she almost died. Another time she was fallowing Sam and fell in to a ditch and Sam kept walking oblivious until she finally yelled out his name realizing he didn't notice.
"Hay that's not fair, I I" he stopped trying when he realized she probably would be safer with dean if any thing happened.
Dean and angelica started up the stairs, angelica looked behind her at Sam who was watching her leave the room. She new she was lucky that she had two people that cared about her so much after only knowing her for three weeks. But she still felt like some thing was missing still an empty void inside her that needed to be filled. She was still searching for what it was she needed to fill it.
Down stairs Sam started walking around looking in draws, closets, and cabinets. He even pocked around the fire place some. But nothing, so he went in to the kitchen and started looking around there, he made the mistake of opening the fridge, rotting food was every were, the smell was horrible. He closed the fridge while covering his nose with his hand. He went and opened some cabnets then spotted another door. He walked over to it and turned the knob and it opened. He looked in to the darkness in front of him unable to see anything he searched for a light switch on the wall. After a couple of second he found one and turned the light on. He stared down at a stair case that lead in to what looked like a basement. He slowly started walking down the stairs. When he got to the bottom he looked around from right to left. He saw book cases with old objects on them, shovels, hoes, some tools. He walked around some to see if he could find any thing when he herd some thing behind him when he turned around he was hit on the head with a heavy object, and fell to the floor, the sound echoing up the stairs.
Dean was looking at some papers when he heard it a soft thud coming from some where down stairs.
"Did you hear that" he asked angelica wondering if he was hearing things.
"Yeah I did; what could it be" she said looking at him seeing concern on deans face. Dean turned around and started for the stairs worried about Sam. Angelica followed behind him trying to keep up. They raced down the stairs and looked around no sight of Sam.
"were is he?" angelica asked dean wondering what is going on and not having a single idea in mind of were he could have went. Dean turned around and went in to the kitchen he looked around and saw a door open, he walked over to it. The light was turned on and there was stairs leading in to the basement.
"You think he went down there? I have to admit dean I'm not a huge fan of basements." Angelica said to him with a serious face. She has always hated basement ever since she was a little girl. Dean looked at her trying not to laugh, and started down the stairs. Angelica reluctantly followed hopping that there was nothing down there that was going to make her fear of basements worse. When the reached the bottom dean saw what he heard. There was Sam unconscious on the floor with a man bent over him searching his pockets, dean grabbed his gun.
"Hay what the hell do you think your doing get away from him." Dean yelled pointing the gun at the man. The man looked up and backed away putting his hands in the air.
"I thought he was some one else sorry, I was just looking for ID man"
"Ok well see about that." Dean replied back still pointing his gun at him.
Angelica looked at dean then at Sam, and ran over to Sam's body on the floor. She nelt down on the floor and pulled him in to her body to check for a pulse. When she found one she called his name getting no response.
"He's unconscious dean, we need to lay him upstairs on the couch."
"Ok come here your going to have to hold this gun so I can carry him up." Dean said and angelica walked over taking the gun and pointing it. She never held a gun before and she never wants to again.
"I could help" the man said to dean as he walked over to Sam and though him over his shoulders.
"I don't think so, you just follow me" dean walked up the stairs with Sam and the man followed him, angelica followed pointing the gun at his back. When they reached the living room dean put Sam down on the couch and walked over to angelica taking the gun.
"Thanks I didn't like that thing" she said to him
"ok you come with me angelica see if you can wake up Sam, and check out his head to, ill be in the room up stairs talking to him." Dean said looking at the guy motioning for him to walk up the stairs
Angelica walked over to the couch and knelt next to Sam checking his head she saw a little blood, she walked to the kitchen and looked around for a towel to wet. When she found one she walked over to the sink to check if the place had running water, surprisingly it did so she stuck the rag under cold water. When she finished, she looked in all the cabinets for some vinegar hoping the smell would wake up Sam. When she finds some she goes back out to Sam and lifts his head up and cleans the wound. When she puts his head down she looks at him, she might actually think that Sam is better looking then dean, he has the boyish face that makes girls go goo goo gaga over. Dean's face is more of a manly face the kind you would find on a bad boy which kind of matched him. She took the cap off the vinegar and smelt it. She quickly pulled it out from under her nose repulsed from the smell. She went and stuck it under Sam's nose waiting for a response. After a minute she was ready to give up when he started moving his arm. Then he moved his head a little, then his eyes opened, when her eyes met his she was relived that it worked. She put the cap on the bottle and put it down. When she looked up Sam smiled at her in a kind of uncomfortable way.
"what happened" Sam asked her rubbing the back of his head wondering if he looked like as much of a idiot as he felt.
"well, some guy knocked you out thinking you were some one else, I don't think your brother trusted him so he took him up stairs and is probably beating the shit out of him as we speak. But hay at least your brother gets to do some thing nice for you for a change." Angelica said cheerfully the last part. Sam sat up and laughed at her, it amused him how she thought of his brother as this mindless bad boy who didn't give a damn about his little brother, it was the farthest from the truth.
"Trust me he dose allot of nice things for me." Sam replied as angelica sat next to him on the couch. She moved her face close and looked at the back of his head to make sure it wasn't bleeding for a second the two of them caught each others eyes and he found him self looking at her lips.
"Is your head feeling ok" she asked breaking up the moment and putting distance in between them. Sam figured it was for the best he didn't need a relationship at this time.
"umm its ok I guess, I have a headache but that's expected probably. Maybe we should go up stairs and check on dean, make sure he hasn't killed him yet" Sam said while looking at the floor and then back up at her. Sam stood up and started for the stairs angelica waited for second comprehending what could have just happened, and if at this time if she wanted it to or not. She pushed the thoughts out of her head and got up following after Sam. When she got up stair she went in to the bed room and found dean staring at the man as if he was contemplating some thing.
"So are new friend here is Derek and he says that some thing chased him in to this house last night and that he hid out in the basement all night." Dean said while still staring the guy in the eyes. "Truthfully I'm leaving this up to you Sammy, you can kill him or let him go" dean handed Sam the gun, Sam just stared at him not understanding Derek got up panicking
"look man, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit him please don't kill me" Derek said backing in to a corner, dean inched closer then a big grin on his face formed.
"Hay all I wanted was a apology for my brother. I guess well let you live." With that dean turned around and left the room. Sam looked at angelica and laughed turning around to.
"You now your brothers insane" angelica yelled at them as they started walking to the stairs. She looked over at Derek he gave her a smile. She just turned around and left not wasting time on him.
"Hay, what are we going to do about this guy we can't just leave him out here." Angelica asked Sam and dean
"Well bring him with us and he can tell us what he saw at the hotel. Tomorrow well come back at dusk to check the place out at night." Dean said to her as if she should have already known this.
"guys, he isn't staying over night with us is he, we don't even know him" she said starting to worry, she didn't like the look of him.
"Only if we need him the next day" Sam said turning around to face her, he saw the look on her face and could tell she didn't like the sound of it. "don't worry it will be fine we haven't let any thing happen to you so fare have we" Sam said trying to reassure her.
"oh you mean other then me falling in a ditch and you not even realizing it other then that no nothing has ever happened to me" she said as she reached the last step of the stair.
"God you're never going to let that go are you" Sam said turning around. He was greeted with her standing there arms crossed, her foot taping and a face that said don't even try to defend your self. Sam looked at her and opened his mouth ready to say some thing when he saw dean in the corner of his eye shake his head and mouthed don't even try.
As they got in the car angelica looked next to her in the back seat expecting Sam to give up the front knowing she was uncomfortable with this guy. But instead Derek slid in next to her. She wanted to burn holes in the boys heads with laser beams that shoot out of her eyes. Dean looked in the rearview mirror and saw the guy wink at her and she gave him a look of disgust, it made him laugh. He new that before the end of the day Derek was going to be either punched or she was going to threaten to punch him if he kept acting like this. Dean started the car and drove down the drive way back to the road anxious to find some thing to eat.
"Hay before we go back were going to the dinner, I'm starving." Dean said to them knowing they probably were to.
