Chapter Two: Unexpected
Meanwhile back at the Winchester motel room, Dean is lying in bed with a girl on either side of him
"Man this is the life ain't it? A babe in each arm and a good comfy bed, this is the life" Right at that moment, Dean's cell rings. "Oh it's probably Sammy, he's got no idea of timing, hello?"
"Hey Dean, its Cassie"
"Cassie?" he sits up straight.
"What's wrong? Did I startle you or something, you sound.. Surprised" Cassie says.
"I am surprised" Dean replies.
"Well I'm just ringing to say that I heard you're in Up-state New York and that I am too, and if we could catch up"
"You're in New York state? Wait a minute, how would you know me and my brother are in New York?"
"I'm psychic Dean, I forgot to tell you before, and looks like you and me have a little more in common than we thought"
"Psychic? What the hell?! Cass, you sound different, are you ok?"
"Yeah Dean, I'm fine. Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't want you to freak out and leave me"
"Freak out? Cass, with what I do and with what I told you I do, I figured you'd be the one freaking out"
"Well I was at first, but now I'm ok with it, if you love someone enough you'll accept them for who they really are. So can I come and see you or not?"
"Uh.. Give me at least a half hour" looks at the half naked women in his bed.
"Ok, see you in around half an hour"
"Cass?"
"Yeah"
"I love you" this was a first for Dean; he hadn't really loved anyone before Cassie.
"I love you too Dean. See you soon ok"
"Ok"
He hears Cassie hang up and does the same. And soon realises he still has two half naked women in the bed with him.
"Oh shit!"
"Who was that?" Woman number one said.
"Was that another woman?" asked the other woman.
"Yeah, so that's why I'm gonna have to ask you to leave, right now!" Dean told them.
"But at the bar you told us you were single" woman one pouted.
"I am, but you see, Cassie and I, we're kinda on/off, but I love her" Dean replied, that was the truth, Dean Winchester didn't often tell the truth.
"Whatever" says woman number two, who gets out of bed, gets dressed and storms out.
Woman one gets up and storms out too, slamming the door behind her. "Asshole!"
Dean lies back on the bed and sighs
"Rejected by two women, accepted by another, could my life get any more complicated" he says to himself. Then he gets up and puts his shirt back on, Cassie was coming around soon and he had to hide the evidence of his wild night.
Soon after Sam arrives back to the motel room, walks in and slams the door behind him.
"whoa man, what did the door ever do to you?" Dean complains, he had a slight hangover and his ears were sensitive.
"Thanks a lot Dean, because you wanted me back here so badly, Sarah and I broke up" Sam yells at him.
"Shit! Sammy im so sorry, I was just screwing around; I didn't want you to break up with her"
"Dean!"
"What?"
"Man I just wanna hit you sometimes" Sam tells him
"Yeah well you never have" Sam shoots Dean a look. "Call her and tell her your dumb ass of a brother was screwing around and he's sorry"
"I was gonna do that anyway" Sam storms back out of the room and slams the door again.
"Whoa man, care..ful!" he stops, Sam is already out the door.
Meanwhile, outside, Sam is talking with Sarah.
"So it wasn't important?" asks Sarah
"No, he just gets bored sometimes, im all he's got now. He's just scared he's gonna lose me" Sam tells her.
"But he hasn't, and he won't. It's not like I'm gonna take you away from him, he can still have his brother, and I can have my boyfriend"
"Really? You really want me?" Sam asked playfully.
"I always did want you" she tells him.
"Oh, ok then" Sam says, he felt a bit embarrassed now.
"So, where are we at the moment?" Sarah asked, Sam noticed she often started her sentences with 'so'.
"Together" says Sam.
"But there's a 'but' coming" Sarah says, an inside joke.
"But.." He started, Sarah laughed. "It's just so hard, you know, with me out on the road all the time, traveling all over the country, never in one place for too long"
"Yeah I know, but I think we could do something about that"
"Like what?"
"Well I could come with you" Sarah suggests.
"Uh... Sarah, as much as I'd love for you to come with me, you know how much I'd hate for something to happen to you, this stuff can get dangerous and…" he stopped, Sarah knew what he was gonna say next.
"And we've been though this before Sam, I love you, and I can't stand being away from you for long periods of time. I'm coming with you whether you like it or not" Sarah was putting her foot down and Sam knew he couldn't talk her out of it.
"Well... Ok, but you know the risks" he warned.
"I know, and I'm willing to share them with you" she told him.
Sam leans down, he was much taller than Sarah, and they kiss passionately.
A while later, it's the early hours of the morning and Dean, Cassie, Sam and Sarah are parked on the roadside in the Impala on a sleep stop. Sam and Sarah are asleep in the backseat together and Dean's asleep in the driver's seat with his sunglasses on, even though it was night time. Cassie was riding shotgun, Sam's usual seat. Everyone was asleep.
Sarah wakes up and finds that Cassie is gone and both the brothers still asleep. Maybe she just went to the bathroom, Sarah thought, she'll be back. She stares at Sam for a while and strokes his hair. Then all of a sudden he wakes up and must have been having a nightmare because he pulls out a pocket knife and holds it out ready, startling Sarah.
"Hey, whoa, Sam it's just me" seeing the pocket knife.
"Sarah, oh my god, im sorry, you... You scared me"
"I scared you? Sam, you scared me! Why do you have a knife in your pocket anyway?"
"Precaution, I'm just protecting you Sarah. You never know what could be out there"
"Sam you know me, I don't need protecting"
"Hey what about that time that freaky little girl tried to slit your throat? You remember that? If I hadn't jumped on top of you, you wouldn't be here right now, would you?"
"Ok except that, but…" Sam cuts her off.
"No 'butt's' ok? You and Dean are all I've got now, I'm gonna be protecting you no matter how much you protest" he tells her, this time he was putting his foot down.
"Hey do you guys mind keeping it down, the driver needs to get some shut- eye. I don't wanna listen to a chick flick all night long" says Dean, with his eyes closed, but who could tell with his shades on.
"Sorry. Um, Dean, where's Cassie?" Sarah asked.
"What?" Dean takes off his shades to see that his girlfriend is missing from the passenger seat. "Shit! Where the hell could she have gone? There's nothing here but woods"
"Maybe she went to the bathroom" says Sam, half asleep.
"Alone? No way, this isn't like Cassie, she would've woken me first" He gets out of the car.
"Dean, where are you going?" Sam asks, sitting up now.
"To find Cassie" he tells Sam and Sarah, he shuts the car door and walks down to the trunk of the Impala, opens it and takes out a gun filled with rock salt and a hunting knife, better to be safe than sorry. He loads up and heads into the woods that lined the highway with a flashlight, calling out Cassie's name every few seconds.
"What should we do Sam?" asked Sarah, she was starting to panic.
"Stay here, Dean's a skilled hunter; he knows what he's doing" he tells her.
"Where do you think Cassie went, and why would she leave without telling Dean?"
"I don't know, but I do think she's not herself"
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"I think she's either possessed or she's a vampire, I could sense it"
"Vampire? I thought there was no such thing?"
"Well, welcome to my world"
Sarah stopped and thought for a second, she had to get to head around all of this.
"Sam, if she was a vampire, wouldn't she have tried to, you know, suck our blood already?"
"Yeah you've got a point, but maybe she wasn't hungry" Suggested Sam.
"I don't think she's a vampire"
"How come?"
"I didn't see any fangs"
"Teeth, vampires have teeth, not fangs; they retract in the back of their mouths"
"Oh"
"Come to think of it I don't think she's a vampire either, maybe she's a ware wolf" says Sam.
Sarah looked at him like he was insane. "Ok this is getting weirder by the minute"
"At first I thought Vampires were extinct until my dad told me that had come back, but Ware wolves have always been around. There's tons of different legends about Ware wolves but all of them share one common fact" Sam told her.
"And what's that?"
"They always turn at night, and they always go after the heart of their victim"
"So you think she's after Dean?"
"Most probably, or she wants to turn someone else into one, and she knows she can get close to Dean"
"Oh my God!" this was really starting to freak Sarah out.
"Come on we've gotta go help Dean" Says Sam, he hands Sarah a gun loaded with silver bullets.
"What's this?"
"It's loaded with silver bullets; it's the only thing that kills ware wolves" he tells her.
"But I can't shoot a gun"
"Yes you can, Dean's counting on you"
"But Sam, what if she's not a ware wolf, what if we kill her and she's just herself?"
"That's why we've gotta be prepared" he grabs a few hunting knives and a jar of 'dead man's blood' as well. He also packs a flask of holy water too, better to be safe than sorry.
Sam hands Sarah a flashlight and they head out into the woods to find Dean and Cassie.
