Sam sat down with a thud and put his head in his hands, this wasn't how he had expected to spend this trip. He and Dean were supposed to be on a hunt in Illinios, not a hunt in a motel in the middle of nowhere. He thought about the girl who had gone to help the woman from earlier. The way she ran into the door and knocked it down was unbelievable, even Sam wouldn't be able to do that. There was something wierd about the girl but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He had a feeling Dean was thinking the same thing, he laughed, remembering the look on Dean's face when he had seen her knock the door down.
He started as there was a knock at the door, Dean was in the shower so he got up slowly to open the door. The girl was stood there, when she saw Sam open the door she looked slightly shocked and Sam thought she looked afraid to be there. 'Um, Hi, I'm Bellatrix,' the girl said with a slight smile, she looked down for a second, then looked up into Sam's eyes, so piercing and bright, he felt a flutter in his stomach. 'Hey, I'm Sam. Uh, do you want to come in? Deans just in the shower.' He smiled at her, trying to make her feel more welcome, she looked like she wished she was anywhere but there. 'Yea, thanks,' she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the room. 'So youre Sam Winchester right? And Dean's your brother?'
'Yeah thats right. How do you know?' He cocked his head to a side and looked at her face, taking in her features. She was stunning, that was for sure. She looked up at him again and he felt the flutter once more.
'Well, i figured, Dean Winchester - i spoke to him, i figured you might be his brother.'
'Oh yea,' he gave a slight laugh, 'i didn't think.'
She returned the laugh, 'it's okay.'
She was looking at him, searching his face. He realised she wasn't going to speak so he decided to speak first.
'How...' She cut him off.
'You're a hunter arn't you.' It was a statement, not a question.
'Yeah.' He looked slightly bemused for a second. Until she spoke again.
'Me too.' She stared into his eyes, her face an expression of complete seriousness.
'You're a hunter? What? How old are you?' He thought this seemed slightly strange, the only other female hunter he had come across before was Jo, and she was alot older than Bellatrix looked.
'Yes i'm a hunter. And i'm 19.' Sam was suprised. He didn't know what to say.
'I'm a pretty good hunter, although i can tell you're shocked,' She laughed, and Sam noticed the way her eyes brightened even more, making his stomach flutter yet again. He smiled. She continued.
'I...well, this is going to sound crazy, but i know your Dad, well i don't know him technically, when i was born he was there, my mother died, and he was in the room at the same time. I... he was a hunter right.' Her hands were steady as she moved a strand of hair from her face.
'Wow. Uh, Yeah my dad was the best hunter.' Sam looked and saw her smiling at him. He knew she agreed.
'I've been looking for your dad for a long time, to meet him, he saved me from the thing that was there at my birth. I wanted to thank him, in person, to find out what happened.'
Sam heard the bathroom door open and turned around to see Dean looking at the girl.
'He's Dead.'
Sam looked at Bella and took in her reaction, she was staring at Dean, a grave expression had formed on her face. One tear rolled down her cheek, she looked down for a brief second then looked up at Sam, then at Dean.
'I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I should go.' Sam watched her get up to leave. He was longing to touch her, he felt her pain which was not for herself, but for the two boys who had lost their father. Standing up quickly he went over to the door in which she had just exited, he couldn't let her leave like this. He saw her walking towards her room and he jogged to catch up with her. 'Bellatrix.' She stopped and turned around, wiping a tear from her face. She looked up into his eyes.
He touched her arm and felt a shock like electricity, all the way throughout his body. She felt it too, and was looking into his face confused. 'Sam.'
'It's okay,' He said, talking about the death of his father. And he knew she believed him.
Bellatrix had recovered from the news she heard off Dean quickly, she decided there's no need to mull over it for days. It upset her, yes, but there was a hunt right here in the motel so she was going to get on with it. John Winchester had saved her life and in her eyes he'd always be a hero to her. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind she pulled out her laptop and searched on the net for murders in the past that happened in this motel. Straight away she found articles but they weren't murders, they were disappearances. The majority were people who were last seen in the Motel and then never seen again. Scrolling to the bottom of the page she found just the one she was looking for. Which also explained a lot. A Japanese couple had stayed in the hotel room, apparently the woman's husband was doing some business in the area, when passers by heard commotion coming from the room. The husband had brutally killed his wife when she walked in on him with another woman, then he killed himself.
A light bulb switched on inside her head as she realised that obviously they had both been filled with hatred when it happened, causing their spirits to leave a grudge in the motel room.
Now how do i get rid of it? She thought to herself. Salting and burning the bones? Or is it different for a Grudge? She decided to start by salting and burning the bones, if that didn't work then she'd go onto plan B - burning the motel room down, it was apparently meant to work on the film so she might as well try it. She laughed to herself, thinking how ridiculous it was that she was doing what a film did.
After looking on the net once more to find out where they were buried, she got up and was just about to leave when she heard the faintest noise, sounding like a croak. She opened the door when it slammed shut in her face all of a sudden, and the croaks got louder and louder. 'Holy crap.' She knew what was happening, she just didn't think it would happen to her. Turning around slowly, she thought of a way that she could get her small pistol sized salt gun from the kitchen without the spirit thing coming 5 feet near her. Luckily it was at the other side of the room, damn, she thought, this thing is totally creepy. She ran into the kitchen area and grabbed the gun from the counter-top, when she was knocked off her feet, the gun flew a metre or two away. It appeared that the grudge had appeared in front of her and pushed her over. It pinned her legs down, gradually getting closer to her face. Bellatrix strained as she tried to reach the gun, her fingers were centimetres away and the thing was getting closer to her.
She heard a bang and looked up to see the grudge off her. She saw a hand appear, waiting for her to grab hold, she took it and was lifted up to a standing position. The owner of the hand was Sam, she smiled at him 'thanks Sam.'
'No problem,' he smiled back, and handed her the gun. 'Salt gun?'
'Yea,' she took it off him, 'i find its easier to carry around than a big one like that over there,' she nodded her head in the direction of Dean stood with the Salt gun he'd used to literally save her life. 'Dean, thanks for ya know, shooting the damn thing.' She smiled at him.
He returned the smile 'S'okay, i don't think you would have made it if we hadn't shown up.'
She laughed, 'Yeah maybe. Hey, saviours, want a beer before we go kick this jerks butt?'
'Okay, i swear after we get rid of this thing i am taking you two out partying,' Bellatrix laughed, Dean noticed the way there were no crinkles in her smooth skin, he longed to touch her, to see if she was real. God, he though, she's only 19, what's going on with him?
'Dean, hey, earth to Dean,' he snapped back into reality as Sam clicked his fingers in front of Dean's face. He couldn't help but notice that Sam had a huge grin on his face, it was the first time he'd seen his little brother smile like that in a long while. Dean smiled, both of them were looking at him, he felt at ease, being with these two. Although he didn't know Bella, it felt like he'd known her years. She'd relaxed with them both enough to let down her guard.
'So whaddya say, Dean?' Bellatrix was looking up at him expectantly, he realised that he wasn't listening to what she had said.
'Uh, yea sure,' he replied, forcing a smile, hoping he had said the right answer. Bella and Sam laughed at him, exchanging glances in a way that suggested they had a private joke that he wasn't in on. He felt a stab of jealousy, it was unexplainable. He decided to change the subject to the hunt.
'Right, how about we get rid of this thing ASAP then? Shall we try some salting and burning of the bones?' He clapped his hands together and grinned at the two sat opposite him. This was the part he liked, kicking the evil son-of-a-bitches butt back where it belonged.
'Well that sure sounds good to me,' Bella grinned at him and stood up. 'Ready Sam?'
He looked up at the two standing up, 'Yea sure, but, do we know where the body is buried?'
'It's buried in a little cemetery not far from here, all we have to do is look for a Japanese name and we've hit the spot. Let's go.' She picked up her bag, and waited for Dean and Sam to exit before she locked the door after her. Dean climbed into the Impala, Sam following, then Bella into the back seat. Dean looked at her.
'What? I might as well come in here rather than emitting unnecessary fumes into the environment,' She grinned at him and settled down comfortably in the car. He was still surprised at how he felt, normally when he met a good looking girl he just wanted to get her into bed, but with Bellatrix it was different. Sure, he'd like to have "hardcore sex" with her - he chuckled at the thought - but he wondered what spell she had on him that made him have these feelings. He put it down to lust and thought no more of it as they headed off to the cemetery.
