Chapter Two

Dean and Sam had found nothing at Adair park. They hadn't picked up any reading of paranormal activity at all. Dean was beginning to think that they had a regular serial killer on their hands, but Sam wanted to look at the other park to be sure. They got the directions, and headed out. The park looked of out in the open, but after doing some walking, they found a path. Dean and Sam pulled out the infrared and the emf reader and set to work. The path led to a big field and on the other side, there was another path leading in deeper. Sam stopped in the middle of the big field and watched his emf reader dance off of the chart. He looked over at Dean.

" Are you picking up anything?" Dean looked over at him.

" Oh definitely. We should go further in and see what we find." Sam agreed and they started on the second path. The whole time they were walking, Sam's reader went crazy. They came to another clearing where there was a pond and a very small cave opening. Dean took his head phones off and grinned at Sam.

" We should go back to the car and stake the place out. All of the activity is right here."

They went back to the car to see if they could see anything, but so far there had been nothing. Dean was snoring very loudly, but Sam was wide awake and alert. He glance away for a moment to look at his watch, and when he raised his head again, there was a girl standing in the middle of the park. He saw a man approach her and watched as she pointed a gun right at him. Sam smacked Dean on the head and jumped out of the car, yelling for her to stop. Dean followed him shortly after, but they were too late. The girl fired three shots into the man's body and caused to him to fall to the earth like a rock. She turned to face them and lowered her gun.

" This isn't what it looks like. He isn't a normal guy, even though he looks like one." Dean and Sam exchanged a look and Dean spoke up.

" Well, it looks like you've just murdered someone." She glared at him, but before she could respond to him, the guy stood up again, very much alive. He looked right at the girl and smirked.

" Maddy, this isn't like the movies you've seen. You can't kill me! I'm your best friend, dammit! I'm just trying to share with you what was done to me. You can live forever and we can be together. However, you're little friends over there will have to be taken care of." Dean glared at the girl.

" You resurrected your friend and now you're trying to take it back?" She didn't even look at him, but kept her gun trained on the man.

" I didn't do it. He was killed in a car accident and his girlfriend raised him back up again. She must have made him mad, though, because he's since killed her. What's dead should stay dead, regardless of who the person is." Dean nodded his agreement. When the zombie advanced on him, he held his hands up.

" Look, I've got no bones to pick with you. She shot you, so you should be mad at her." The thing had the nerve to smile at Dean.

" Oh, she'll pay for that, but you know too much." He kept advancing on Dean, and not watching Sam. Sam snuck up behind it and lit it's shirt on fire. Instantly the man picked up Dean and threw him up against his brother, knocking them both to the ground. The zombie began screaming and eventually fell to the ground. Dean walked over to the girl and looked at Sam.

" The only successful ways to kill a zombie are to nail them back to their grave, or burn them." The girl put her gun up like a pro and faced the two boys.

" Who are you guys?" Dean looked away briefly.

" I'm Dean and this is my brother, Sam. We, uh...know of such things." The girl grinned.

" So, you're hunters too?" Sam stared and Dean chuckled.

" You're a hunter? There is no way. What's your name?" She glared at Dean.

" I'm Madisyn Parker and I've been hunting since I was seventeen." This just made Dean laugh harder.

" When was that? Six months ago?" Madisyn folded her arms.

" I'm twenty-two. I suppose you've been doing this longer?" Sam and Dean shared a look, but Sam was the one to speak.

" We were raised doing this stuff. Our dad was a hunter and he taught us when we were young." Madisyn gasped and put her hand over her mouth.

" I thought you looked familiar to me. You were there." Madisyn was looking straight at Dean, who just looked puzzled.

" What do you mean, 'I was there'? Where was I?" Madisyn took a shaky breath.

" When I was sixteen, my older brother, Macon, was possessed by a spirit. He tied me up and..." Dean's eyes got very big as it registered. She didn't continue the story, which was understandable. Sam was confused at this turn of events. Dean walked closer and put his hands in his pockets.

" That was in Philadelphia, several years ago. What on earth made you begin hunting?" A tear had slipped down her cheek.

" Because every evil thing that I kill, keeps someone from going through the hell that I went through." Dean nodded.

" That usually does it." Sam moved in front of Dean and put his hand up.

" Wait a minute, where was I? I wasn't in college then." Dean looked away from Sam.

" That was the time dad left you in Virginia, studying." Sam pursed his lips together and didn't say anything. Madisyn stepped forward.

" How is your father? He was sort of my inspiration." Dean took a deep breath.

" Dad passed away last year." Before Madisyn could respond, there was a sudden wind, and a whispering.

" Witch...must kill. Filthy witches...you will all die." Dean looked over at Sam.

"Time to go until we're more prepared." They grabbed Madisyn by the arms and practically drug her to their car and shoved her into the back seat. Just as they were doing this, three smoky figures appear at the edge of the park. Dean and Sam jumped into the car and sped off. Sam looked over at Dean.

" You know someone else could die tonight, Dean." He glanced over at him.

" I know, but until we find out who they are, we can't do much." Sam looked back at Madisyn.

" Where did you park your car?" Madisyn smiled.

" I came by bus. You can drop me by my motel, which is right up the street. I'll be here a few days, there are about seven zombies still in the area." They stopped at the designated motel and Dean stopped her on her way in.

" Madisyn, if you need any help or have any problems, give us a call. The top number is my cell, and the bottom is Sam's. We'll be here awhile too, but if you're anywhere and need help...we're always available." She smiled, took the card, and walked into her room.
