CHAPTER 2

Monsters, how should I feel?

Marie sat on the bench inside the waiting area of the bus station. She was irritated to say the least. Wet, tired and starving she laid her head on her suitcase. Heavy lidded she started to drift off.

'Hey there young lady' Marie snapped her eyes open. An old lady approached her at the bench.

'Do you mind if I sit with you. I missed my bus and there is no one else here'

Marie sat up 'yeah no worries, what bus did you miss?

'Parkville' Marie smiled at the old lady. 'That's the bus I missed, what's your name?

The old lady moved closer to Marie. 'My dear it doesn't matter what my name is, but I know yours, Marie!

Before she could react she was slammed to the safety glass with such force it cracked. Marie gave out a cry as blood trickled from the back of her head. The member of staff Allan fled at the sight. Locking himself in the back office.

The old lady eyes changed to jet black and cackled.

She approached Marie and grabbed her throat, chocking her, gasping for air Marie tried to pry the old lady's hands off.

'Oh my dearie, it's no use. You will make a great meat suit after your soul has left the building'

'im gonna die. Please help. Help me, God please' Marie thought to herself.

Out of nowhere Dean shouted. 'HEY YOU BLACK EYED BITCH' the demon turned and snarled at Dean.

He threw holy water at the demon and she let go of Marie, she screamed as her skin bubbled.

Marie fell to the ground and tried to catch her breath, her blurred vision couldn't make sense of what was happening.

She felt the pain around her neck and at the back of her head. She just lay there in a fetal position. Paralyzed in fear she closed her eyes and covered her face and head with her arms.

Sam started the exorcism as Dean kept throwing holy water.

'Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus

omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio

infernalis adversarii, omnis legio,

omnis congregatio et secta diabolica'!

The demon screamed. 'YOU ARE…ARE ALL GOING TO DIE…WINCHESTERS!

Then black smoke poured out of the old ladies mouth disappearing into nothing. The old lady dropped and it was clear that she had been dead for a long time.

'Hey, Sam over here' Dean gestured over towards Marie lying very still on the ground, covering her head with her arms.

Marie felt hands around back and her arms urging her to sit up. She yelped at the touch not knowing who they belonged to.

'It's ok Marie, it's me Sam, you're safe now, you're safe' she turned to see a kind semi familiar face and to see another familiar face standing above her.

Dean didn't have a smile that she remembered only a few hours ago. He had anger in his eyes.

'We need to get her moved out of here before someone finds the body. Way too public of a place to leave her in' Dean said in a serious gruff voice. Defiantly a change of character

Sam nodded in agreement. 'Get her to the car; we need to be as quick as possible Sam'

Marie was quite. She was shocked and couldn't form a sentence that would even make sense. Sam helped her walk to the car, she was weak and her legs felt as if they were somebody else's.

'This is a nightmare, I will wake up at home wi my cat and it will be fine. This is too fucked up to be real'

Sam very gently sat Marie in the back seat of the Impala. He noticed she was pale a shaking. He took off his jacket and laid it over her shoulders. He gave her a small smile.

'It's ok, you just rest here. Me and my brother will be back soon. Just stay her ok'

Marie just nodded. Sam closed the door and walked over to help Dean

Luckily enough the Bus station was empty, and eerily quiet. Nothing but the buzzing sounds of the surrounding lights and the patter of rain that was steadily easing off.

'Well sonvabitch! There are damn cctv cameras everywhere. This is gonna take longer than we think'.

Sam rubbed the back of his neck to help think, and then he noticed a movement behind the broken safety glass. He tapped Dean on the arm. 'Look'

Allan head appeared over the counter off the booth. His eyes wide in fear and shock, with what he'd witnessed. He slowly made his way out to the waiting area when Dean pulled his gun out pointing it at him. 'STOP RIGHT THERE!

'Woah wait, please…please don't kill me' Sam stepped forward with a flask in hand.

'We just need to test you for something; it won't hurt unless you're a….

'A demon'! Dean said cutting off Sam. 'A WHAT! Allan shouted.

'Listen pal I'm not gonna sugar coat it for you, yes a demon, so my brother Sam here is gonna throw this holy water on you, so suck it up'

Sam splashed the water on Allan; he had no reaction to it.

'Good! Now listen up, can you get access to the cctv footage and erase what just happened?

'I don't have the clearance for that, I'm just a night worker, my supervisor has the code'

'I could maybe hack the system, I could take a while, but you have to go back to the car Dean, I left Marie there'

Dean groaned in annoyance, I'm not leaving you here by yourself and what about her? Pointing towards the old lady. Should we burn her or bury her?

Sam was thinking with his brows slightly lowered.

'Neither, we move her to the side of the road and call it in. she will be missed by someone, and she deserves to be found'. Then you should go back to the car and just sit tight. Try and calm Marie down, don't be rude or flirty, just try and be sensitive, and talk to her'

Dean rubbed his forehead. 'Oh yeah we will hug and talk about our feelings, maybe compare chick moments. You know I'm not into that touchy feely crap Sammy'

Sam threw a bitch face. 'It's Sam… just go and try not to be an ass'

'You're an ass' Dean whispered to himself. A he walked off.

Marie was still shaking; she was defiantly having the worse day of her life. Her head hurt and her neck felt swollen. She wanted to just close her eyes and forget everything. She Leaned her head back and started drifting off.

Dean approached the impala and opened rear passenger side door, Marie jumped and hissed at the pain in her head.

Dean was kneeling down toward Marie at her eye level.

'Hey no sleeping until we check those injuries, you could have a concussion'

Marie didn't make eye contact she just looked down at her hands. She didn't know what type of people she just got involved in, they weren't mechanic's that's for sure.

Dean gave out a sigh, he never really knew how to comfort women, he knew how to flirt and to make them feel good physically, this was more of Sam's department. The touchy feely stuff.

'ummm so where are you hurt? Dean started scanning Marie for injuries.

'My neck and my head hurts, I think I need to go to A&E'

'it could be too risky to take you to hospital , me and my brother can patch you up, but first what did that demon say to you? Dean said still kneeling.

Marie still looking at her hands, fidgeting nervously, 'A demon, she was a demon? Now raising her eyes she looked at Dean, making eye contact for only the second time since she met him. Her brown eyes wide with shock as she met his green ones, she blushed slightly.

'Yes, she was, what did she say to you?

Marie dropped eye contact hoping Dean wouldn't notice that she blushed and looked at her hands again. She took in a shaky breath. 'She said I would make a great meat suit, once I was dead, she knew my name, she…she had black eyes'

Dean rubbed his hand over his face, he knew it wasn't good. A demon knowing Marie's name wasn't a good sign, she had been targeted and that means she would be in future danger.

'Ok, me and my brother will take you somewhere safe'

'Wait, no I can't, I need to go home, my uncle will be worried sick, my friend piers is also expecting me'

'Sorry sweetheart, you can't, not right now'

Marie started to panic; she thought this was a kidnap.

'Move I'm gonna spew! Dean quickly moved to the side, not wanting his baby to be puked in.

Marie pushed past Dean and started to run. 'Hey! Lady wait….Marie! Come back'. Dean shouted after her.

She never got far. The pain in her head and now her back made her world spin and then darkness overcame her and she clasped in a heap a few feet from the impala.

'Crap!

Dean ran over and kneeled at Marie, he lifted her head and tapped her cheeks lightly to get her to regain consciousness.

'Hey, Marie can you hear me?

Sam came running over, with a worried look. 'What the hell happened Dean?

'She tailed ass and ran, after I told her about demons being real and she was in danger, you know the usual reaction of a civilian'

Sam sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. 'We've got to get her patched up and to Bobby's ASAP Dean'

'Yeah I know, did you hack the cctv?

'Yes it's done; we need to make tracks now'

Sam picked up Marie and carried her to the impala; he rested her on the back seat.

Dean started the car and they headed for the next motel, it was too late to start driving to Bobby's, they needed rest and Marie needed to be patched up.

Marie's heard a familiar voice coaxing her to wake up, she felt a warm sensation on her forehead, felt like a hand, and once again a distant voice was calling her. Her heavy eyes fluttered open. She was met with hazel eyes looking down at her.

She quickly sat up and she regretted it, she groaned in pain, and took a moment before she took in her surroundings.

'Hey take it easy' Sam said in a soft voice.

'You have a lot of bruising around your back and neck, we think you may have a small concussion, do you remember what happened?

Marie looked around again confused 'Where am I? She said through gritted teeth. She was in pain, a lot of pain.

'You're in a motel just outside Kansas City, you're safe'

Dean said while sat on the small table drinking a beer.

Sam picked up a glass of water and handed it to Marie along with two pain killers.

'These should help with the pain'

She took the glass downed the pills and water in one go. She hoped the medication would kick in quickly, she had to leave. She didn't want to be stuck with two men she barely knew.

'Sam I need to talk to you for a moment' Dean said as he stood up. Sam followed him outside the motel and closed the door.

'We need to keep an eye on this one, she's a damn flight risk, she's not gonna stay weak and injured for long. We have to give it to her straight Sammy'

Sam sighed. You're right. We will have to stress the fact that her and her family could be in Danger. Did you speak to Bobby?

'I left him a voice mail. He hasn't picked up'

'Ok. Well we better get this over with'

Marie sat there on the bed staring at the ugly wall paper. It had a horrid moulding green and brown colour and the room smelled stale, like wet clothes that have been left in a pile for weeks on end. She was planning an escape, as soon as she was fit and able.

Sam and Dean walked in and that's when she really looked at them for the first time. Noticing their features in detail they were both huge, scary huge. Sam was at least 6, 4 and Dean 6, 2. Sam had muscles that she could now see through his plaid shirt. His hair was wavy brown that just covered his forehead he had softness to his hazel eyes and a chiselled jaw. Dean had spiked dark blond hair, his eyes were bright emerald green and he had freckles around his nose. His lips were plump which would make most girls envious. He had a broad chest and broad shoulders. These two men were not a force to be reckoned with.

How she would escape them in her 5, 7 stature would be near to impossible.

Dean cleared his throat and nudged Sam to talk to Marie.

Sam threw him a bitch face. ' hey Marie you need to listen ok, what me and Dean are trying to do is protect you from getting hurt or worse, we are not here to kidnap you or hurt you. Our job is complicated as you can probably tell'

Marie lowered her face and mumbled 'aye ya think'

'We are hunters, we hunt monsters, everything that you thought wasn't real is, well most of it anyways.'

Dean, getting straight to the point.

Marie's pain wasn't easing off much and she was scared and frustrated, she snapped at them.

'Ok! I get ya, monsters. So when can I go home, why am I in deep shite with a demon?

Sam and Dean looked at each other. They were tired and they knew Marie needed answers in which they didn't have.

Sam moved over to sit on the opposite bed. He looked at how much fear Marie had in her eyes. She was young she must only be 19, 20. She had big brown eyes and short ash blond hair. She had milky white skin. He didn't know if it was her natural skin tone or was it due to shock.

She was shy too, Dean mentioned that she never held eye contact with him, Sam stared to notice too.

With his kind voice and puppy dog look he started to explain the best he could.

'We will get you home as soon as we know you are safe, our friend Bobby is going to help, he's the best at what we do, if anyone can figure things out it's him. He's good people'

Marie tried to take in all the craziness she was hearing. She needed a drink.

'I really need Alcohol' Dean smiled 'I support that' and poured her and himself some whiskey. Sam stood up and started to protest. 'We need to get some shut eye; we have to drive to Bobby's first thing'

'Ok fine Samantha; just get your panties out of a twist' Marie started to shift uncomfortably when she realised her suit case wasn't there. It had most of her clothes, toiletries and her phone charger.

'Where's my suit case?

Sam and Dean looked at each other. Dean shifted on his feet awkwardly 'ummm at the bus station' he said with a sorry look on his face.

Marie was about to cry when Sam volunteered to go back for it, hoping it will still be there.

'I will be back in an hour, I'm sure it's still there Marie, try and rest' he looked at Dean.

'And no drinking'!

Dean just rolled his eyes. 'Ok dad!...

Thankfully, Sam retrieved Marie's suit case. She was still awake at 5am when Sam came back to the motel. He was quite, not wanting to wake anyone. He lay on the couch and sighed. He was tired; Dean was spread out on his stomach snoring on one of the queen-size beds. The sun was starting to rise and they had to hit the road by 6am. This only gave Sam an hour or less to sleep.

Marie shifted in bed she was sore and she was scared, what if she never seen her family again. What if Piers has already put out a missing person's report and what if this whole Demon thing was a lie to keep her here.

"I'm fucked" she thought to herself.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ! The alarm went off snapping Dean out of his sleep. He groaned and sat up slowly, he had bed head and bloodshot eyes. 'Shit, slept in'.

He hadn't slept more than 5 hours in a week; he ran his hands over his face and yawned.

He went over to Sam to wake him up, shaking him by the shoulders. 'Wake up sunshine, we need to go' Sam huffed in annoyance. 'Ok Dean, jeez'

Dean shuffled over to Marie's bed. 'Hey princess we need to get ready to go'

There was no response or movement; he reached out to shake her. She was lying there limp.

'Sammy! There is something wrong, she's not moving!
