CHAPTER TWO

So where was I, oh yeah I went in stone cold blind.

I walked into the ranger office, the place seemed nice and friendly. Open windows, light flooding the area, pictures painting the walls. Showing character, practically leading me into false security. I should have known better, no case is ever easy. But I didn't know and here's what happened.

Now if you're wondering how I recognised my brothers standing if I hadn't seen them since I was fifteen then you clear are either stupid or didn't read the first chapter properly, so I'll say it again for all out there. I KEPT AN EYE ON THEM OVER THE YEARS. Think that help? Any way standing in front of me was none other than Dean and Sammy.

I am ashamed to say that yes, yes I did infact half scream, which was stupid because they through their attention to me. God Dean hasn't changed a bit. Still with the leather jackets, jeans and biker boots. And what the hell was Sammy doing here!? I thought he was being Joe College, you know sucking it to the old man. But here he was standing in his tall glory.

"Are you here with these two ma'am?" the guy who I hadn't previously seen standing there asked. He frightened me. I know the boring towns' folk faceted the hunter. "'Cause if you are, I was just telling them that the young girl's brother is fine, he's not due back until the end of the month."

"No I'm not with these two I'm with the wild life centre and I was sent to investigate the forest in this area," I replied with as much self control as possible. I could feel tears burning my eyes from seeing my so called family again face to face for the first time. Please, please, Please don't let them recognise me. Please think I'm some random hunter who they don't need to care about.

I noticed from the corner of my eye though Bonnie and Clyde were giving each other looks that said they were suspicious of something. Maybe they're just suspicious of me being a hunter, not the family member they IGNORED! But who knows Sammy is smart enough to get into college maybe he's smart enough to figure it out.

"I have my warrant here if you'd like to see it?" I said while going to my bag to get the fake warrant out. I'm just that awesome that I forged the document a few days ago.

Snatching the document he took a look at it, before putting on the table. "Sorry Ma'am you look so young I just thought you were friends with that Haley girl asking questions for her." The man who's name I can't be bothered to learn said looking slightly sorry about accusing me.

"It's alright, but I'm going to have to have a list of all the people who have gone into the park to camp in the last month please." During this hole ordeal Dean and Sammy were silently looking between me and the ranger, obviously coming to the conclusion that I was all a hunter. Or at least that's what I think, because I'm not a mind reader. I don't think so anyway.

"Right away Ma'am." And of he shuffled to the desk in the back of the room.

As soon as he wasn't in hearing distance anymore the Chucked brother's pounced, literally. I swear for a moment I had a flash of looking at two lions about to chase their prey. It was quite scary looking, and those looks are pointed at me at the present moment.

"Who are you?" Always straight to the point aren't you Sammy. Ugh I hate that. I probably hate everything about him but still.

"Well isn't it obvious, I'm a hunter working a case. I could tell you are hunters too," I said trying not to look suspicious of lying, well half lying, through my ass.

"Why do you look so familiar then?" Dean countered. Damn it HD to be him who was recognising me. You'd think it would be Sammy but Dean has always been smarter, just never showed it. Well time for me to steer him clear of thinking of his little sis then shouldn't I?

"Oh I get asked that all the time. Apparently I have a resemblance to some girl who went missing a few years ago. What was her name again… I think Rebecca something. But I'm sorry to say my name is Beck, Beck Christo. If you want you can call my Mom" I said with as little emotion as possible, now I was lying through my teeth. And you might think I'm crazy for mentioning, well, me. But that's the whole idea. They know I ran away, why the hell would I say something that would tell who I am. Hello it's perfect, steer them so off the path that they'll never know it's me.

I noticed after saying what I said about well, me, that Dean's eyes flashed guilty for a second. Like he regret how he treated me. Nah not possible they don't care. And Sammy, well he didn't show any remorse what so ever at the mentioning of his twin. Thanks Sam real nice.

"No way, you're Beck Christo. As in the Beck Christo. The guy who strikes fear in monsters everywhere. Dude I thought you were… a dude!" Dean said after a minute pause. Hehe nice to know even my oldest brother is impressed with me. I could see Sam's confusion about Dean's statement. Well that's what happens when you abandon the hunting world, you miss all the gossip. You should know that hunters love to gossip.

"Yeah people always assume that I'm a guy and then are pretty shocked when it turns out I'm a female." I laughed. It was sort of ironic that I'm in the same room as Dean and the golden child yet here I was getting all the attention. Good to know that it was just when it was Rebecca Winchester in the room Sammy got everything. Really helps… NOT.

Before Dean or Sam could say anything else the ranger came back in hearing range with a small pile of papers. "Here you go."

"Thank you, see you again soon," I thanked the man before walking out the door. I didn't spare a glance to the two there men in the room. I did have a false reputation to up keep in front of the nameless ranger.

I didn't hear the ending conversation between my brothers and the man for obvious reasons but I did wait for them outside the building. I just knew they had more questions. What, just because they don't know a thing about me doesn't mean I don't know anything about them. I happen to be a good sister, they just weren't good to me. Like there was a time when Sam was in college and I protected Dean from a couple of Vetala. Of course he didn't know I was there and thought he got out on his own, but the truth he had help from me. Also help with a case that was happening close to Stanford. I do help my brothers, it's just they don't help me.

"So seeing as we're both here working on the same case, do you want to work together?" I asked when tweedledum and tweedledee walk up to me. I was half hoping they would just say no and tell me they've got it. Sadly though they accepted. Why did I ask, there is another opportunity I've thrown away where I could have escaped.

"Let's head to that girl Haley's house. I wanna see if that ranger was telling the truth," Dean said with a far away look in his eye.

"Dean!" Sam exclaimed. He looked over at me embarrassed, I just snickered. Some things never change.

"Sure I'll just follow behind you. Which car is yours?" I asked. I knew of course but again keeping up appearances, don't want to have them watching me closer.

After them agreeing with this we parted ways. Them in front and me behind, just like the good old days. I found that once I got in my car I could breathe again. I didn't realise how much they had an effect on me until I was away from them. I really don't know how I would have acted if they had known it was me.

The drive to this unknown girl's house wasn't as long as I needed it to be, but life just isn't fair. I got out of my car and walked behind them to the front door of the of the pretty ordinary looking house. Dean knock on the door.

"Hi you must me Haley Collins. My name is Dean, this Sam. We're rangers. And she is Beck from the wildlife centre. Ranger Wilkinson sent us." Dean said when the door opened. Well it's good to know the name of the ranger. I probably won't remember it but still. Haley was just like the ranger had apparently said from the look on Dean's face. "We'd would just like to ask you a few questions about your brother Tommy."

"Let me see some ID" was her response. Smart girl. Always ask for ID, even if the ID she is about to see is fake. All three of us took out our respective ID and held them up for her to see.

"Here you go," Dean again.

"Come on in," She spoke after a moment of studying them.

"Thanks"

We walk in to the house. It didn't look to shabby. Looked normal and homey to be honest. A house that I would like to live in some day. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Dean and Haley still standing at the door.

"That yours," I heard Haley say looking in the direction of the Impala. Dean looked a little smug when he replied that it was. I wasn't eavesdropping I just happened to overhear their conversation because they were talking to loud.

"So if Tommy not due back for a while how do you know something's wrong?" Sam questioned altered we had walked through into a sitting room slash dinner room. There was a young boy maybe sixteen or seventeen sitting at the table. Haley was giving him food.

"He checks in everyday by cell," she says. "He emails photos, stupid little videos… but we haven't heard anything in over three days."

"Well maybe he can't get cell reception." (Sam)

"He's got a satellite phone too."

"Could it be he's just having fun and forgot to check in?" Dean asked. It's pretty obvious that wasn't the case but Dean was stupid enough to ask. Judging from what the boy's reply was.

"He wouldn't do that." He defend. I decided to stay silent. Let my brothers have their bonding moment over a case

"Our parents are gone," Haley tried to explain for her brother's outburst. "It's just my two brothers and me. We like to keep pretty close tabs on each other.

I know how you feel sister.

"Can I see the pictures he sent you." And back to Sammy. Not that I care. Not in the slightest. Nope.

"Yeah." She went and showed us her computer. "That's Tommy." A video with a young man came on screen.

"Hey Haley, day six. We're still out near Black water Ridge, we're fine, keeping safe. So don't worry, talk to you tomorrow."

I noticed something passing by in the background of the video. And from the look on Sam's face she did to.

"Well we'll find your brother, we're heading out to Black water Ridge first thing," Dean told her.

"Then maybe I'll see you there" She smirked. After noticing the looks she was getting though she continued quickly. "Look, I can't sit around her anymore, so I hired a guide. I'm heading out there tomorrow and I'm gonna find Tommy myself"

"I think I know how you feel," Dean and I said at the same time. He shot me a weird look.

"Hey you mind forwarding these to me?" Sam butted in ruining whatever bonding moment we were having.

"Sure," Haley said.

After getting the messages we left the girl and her brother in peace. I was walking to my baby when dean asked me if I wanted to go with them to research.

"Actually I already looked up everything. I thought you would have done that. Anyway, I'm off to talk to the only person left alive after all the attacks. You can tag along if you want?" What I did my research. It wasn't my fault the two idgets didn't. And I was certainly not doing more research willingly.

"Nah its fine," Dean said sounding annoyed that I was kind of berating them. Which I was and Sam just looked passed because I knew something he didn't. Wow flash back to childhood there. Ugh I don't want to think about that.

"Give me your number and I'll call you about what I find," I told him grudgingly. I really don't want his number but I need it.

Finally I got to leave the presence of two of the people I hate most in the world. You can hate even if you love them it's a fact. I knew what they were going to do next. Look at the video footage that Tommy took. So I headed to the Survivor's house to have a chat with him.

"Hi my name is Beck Christo. I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second sir," I said as politely as I could when he opened the door.

"Come on in. I don't know what you need with me," The man Mr. Shaw said.

"I'm sorry sir but I need to ask you about that time you and your family were attacked. And I'm going to need the truth" I answered.

"It's public record. I was a kid. My parents were attacked by a …" Mr Shaw cut off.

"A Grizzly?. Other people went missing. Was that a grizzly too. And the people this year as well. I might be able to stop it with your help." I interrogated him.

"I don't that," He mumbled. "Beside that nobody believed me. Why would you?"

"Well sir. You'll find that I may be more open minded then folk around here."

"I saw nothing," He spoke in a low frightened voice. "It moved too fast to see, it hid to well. I heard it though, a roar, like… no man or animal I ever heard."

"It came at night? Got inside your tent?"

"It got inside our cabin!" He shuddered. "I was sleep in front of the fireplace when it happened. I didn't even hear it until my parents screamed."

"I'm so sorry Sir."

"I don't know why it left me alive. Did leave me this though" He dragged the collar of his shirt down and showed me three claw like scars.

"Thank you so much Sir. I'll be sure to catch the monster. Take care sir." I said in a almost whisper before heading to the door.

Just before for I closed the door I heard a soft 'thank you for believing me'. I felt bad for bringing up those memories up for him. But I had no choice. Now it's off to phone the lovely Dean Winchester. Note the sarcasm please. But first I'm bucking myself into a motel and sleeping for twenty years.

I drive from Mr Shaw's house to the only motel I saw. After bucking a single room for myself from a zombie like front desk person. I walked into a blank musky smelling room. Hmm home sweet home for the night. Dumping my bag on the small sofa I got my phone out and dial the number.

"Hello," a gruff voice answered.

"Hey it's Beck."

"Hi, what you got."

"Just that the man saw nothing. A thing got into his cabin by picking the lock and dragged his parents screaming off into the forest."

"So it's not a demon or ghost."

"No it's definitely corporeal." Wow big words, that has to be Sam.

"Whatever that's all I found out. Now I'm gonna hit the hay. I'll see you tomorrow bright and early." With that said I hang up the phone and throw it across the room. I just want to sleep now. Today had been very stressful and I think I deserve it. Don't you?

God I can't wait to tell Jo about this. She'll probably want to get out here as fast as possible so she can kick their ass's. That would be a sight to see. I'll call her tomorrow right now though it's time for bed.

After having a nice long shower and setting salt lines at all the exits I finally crawled into the half comfortable bed and feel into a deep sleep. Dreaming of memories I hadn't thought about in years. Dreading of what was to come tomorrow.
