Ok, I was going to wait to post another chapter but I was so thrilled with the response I received that I decided to post this now. Hope you enjoy and please review.
Chapter 1
Sam Winchester was laying in bed listening to music waiting for his dad to call him down. The three Winchester men were about to go on a hunt involving a mansion. Ten people have died in that mansion over the past 5 years. Sam was pissed because he had a math test to study for this weekend but instead he had to go hunting.
John yelled up to Sam from the bottom of the stairs. "Sam, it's time to go." Sam turned off the walkman and got ready to leave. He came down the stairs with his duffle, when he walked by John ruffled his hair and told him to go wait in the car with Dean. Dean was already in the driver's seat of the classic 1967 Chevy Impala his dad gave him for his 17th birthday listening to music when Sam came out to join him. Dean heard and saw the passenger door open and close and knew that Sammy had joined him.
"Hey Sammy." Dean said way to giddy for Sam's liking. Sam grunted in response and turned his music back on and closed his eyes. Sam didn't realize he fell asleep till he felt the car stop and Dean was shaking him awake. He looked outside and saw that they had stopped at a hotel. "You awake over there kiddo?"
Sam nodded yes and got out of the car with Dean. The room had two twin beds and a pull out couch. That meant that the brothers would flip for the bed. Dean won the coin toss which was fine with Sam because he didn't sleep much anyway. Sam put his stuff on the couch and went into the bathroom. When he got out his dad and Dean were already sitting at the table discussing the hunt.
He joined them at the table and John gave him the job of researcher which made Sam happy. Sam found out a lot about the mansion. First, it was the Grove mansion; second, everything was quiet until the construction started. Third, the family was happy and healthy, then they all died of unknown causes when the mother and wife Donna cast a spell that backfired. Now when people go into the house they experience the same symptoms the family did. The catch is not everyone who had entered the mansion died so now the three men had to figure out what was causing the odd occurrence and take care of it.
Once they had all the info they needed the three men headed over to do what would hopefully be a simple hunt. Once John's truck and Dean's car were parked out in front of the mansion the Winchesters got their gear and proceeded into the house. When the boys got their first look of the house they stood there for a moment in awe at the size of just the first room alone. There was a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling and gold trim along the meeting point of the wall and ceiling. Old Victorian furniture filled the room with an elegance the boys weren't used to. Every room was exactly like the first one. Gold trim, elegant furniture and beautiful light fixtures. After standing there for another minute their dad went over what they were going to do.
The plan was Dean and Sam would take the second floor and John would take the main floor and they would all meet back in the main hall in one hour if they couldn't find anything. Just as the boys were about to head upstairs they were called back by their father. "I want you two to stay together and be careful. We don't know what we're dealing with yet so be prepared for anything. Understand?"
Both boys replied with a "Yes sir." John told Dean and Sam one more thing. "Dean, watch out for Sammy, ok?" Dean nodded. Then John addressed Sam. "Sam, stay by your brother. Don't leave his side. Got me?" Sam also nodded.
John gestured for them to get going and the brothers went upstairs to start investigating. John smiled as he watched his sons bicker the entire way. Dean calling Sam a geek and Sam calling Dean a stupid jerk. John loved his sons despite what people thought and that was why he was always telling them to stick together. He wanted to keep them as safe as possible. So when the boys were out of his sight he sent a silent prayer to whoever was listening. "Keep them safe, they're all I have." Then John went to his own search.
Dean and Sam had been searching for almost an hour now and it was almost time to head back but Dean wanted to check one more hallway of rooms. "Come on Sammy, it'll only take a few minutes. We each take a row and meet back at the beginning. Then we can go home and you can finish your homework like a good little geek. How's that?" Sam gave Dean a very annoyed look before replying. "Alright, no more then ten minutes. If we're late dad will kill us." Dean laughed then came out with his own witty response. "If we're late I'll just tell him you drank too much on the ride here and had to make a stop to the little boy's room."
Sam hit Dean on the arm then walked off to start his search. He sometimes didn't like some of Dean's joke but he acted madder then he really was. Every time Dean would make a joke Sam would pretend to be mad and walk away but he would always have a smile on his face.
Dean laughed at Sam's retreating form and went to the first room of his row. He knew that Sam waited till he couldn't see his face before smiling about whatever joke he made that day. Dean had known ever since Sam was 10 and he didn't turn quick enough to completely hide his smile after Dean poked fun at him. Dean never told Sam he knew since that day. He figured he would let Sam think he was convincing at playing mad. As Dean was finishing looking through the first room Sam was already on his third.
Sam was about to enter the third room when he heard strange noises coming from inside the room. He knew he should probably call for Dean and wait till he got there to go in but something was preventing him from getting the words past his throat. Something was also compelling him to go into the room on his own. So he went in and saw a book with a large gem and weird symbol on the cover resting on a lonely pedestal. Sam went to the book and opened it. He soon realized his mistake when the book flew open and he was bathed in a bright light. Before he could even think about calling out for Dean he fell to the floor and everything went black.
Please review. I love them! Hope you liked this chapter. I promise it will get more interesting.
