Sleigh Ride Together
Chapter Two
Dean shook his head, figuring that the snow had somehow managed to cover the tracks already. With that thought, he went inside the hotel and headed up to his and Sam's room.
Upon arriving at the room, he pulled the card to swipe out of his pocket. More specifically, from the wallet that Arbre had looked through. Dean found it an odd coincidence that he'd run into the brunette twice. And that she wasn't freaked out about the fake ID's he had.
He sighed, opening the door and entering the room where Sam was sitting, eating a sub.
"Hey, back so soon? Didn't think you would be or I would've gotten something for you," Sam smiled and set the sub on his lap.
"The weirdest thing happened," Dean said, not acknowledging that Sam had spoken. "I met this girl down at the bar and then ran into her again outside."
"That's...weird," the younger of the two shook his head. "Dean, that happens."
Dean gave his brother a menacing look and sat on the bed across from him, "No, that's not the weird part. So, I run into her outside, right? Well, then we went on a sleigh ride with Santa."
"A sleigh ride with Santa?" Sam looked at Dean incredulously. "Dean, I hate yo break it to you...but Santa's not real."
Dean put on a mock-sad face, "What? No... how could that be? ...Oh, come on Sam. You think I don't know that? You know what I meant. Guy in a Santa suit..."
Sam nodded and Dean looked down at the sub on his lap, "Where's mine?"
"I already told you, I didn't think you'd be back."
Dean nodded, unable to get his mind off the girl, "Anyway, we talked and everything. She seemed...quirky."
"Quirky?"
Dean merely looked at his brother before continuing, "And after we got off the sleigh, now this is the weird part-"
"Don't you mean the quirky part?" Sam laughed, but his brother's face stayed serious.
"The weird part," Dean said sternly, "was that the sleigh and Santa just vanished afterwards."
"Did you see them disappear?" Sam asked curiously.
"No," Dean paused. "But I looked and there were no marks in the snow."
Sam looked a little confused.
"Isn't that weird? Hmm...maybe Arbre's still down there somewhere. She might've seen the Santa go or something."
"Arbre?" Sam asked, annoyed with his brother's rambling.
"The girl," Dean said.
Sam nodded, "Why don't you go see?"
Dean agreed and Sam had never felt so relieved to be alone.

After the sleigh ride, which seemed a bit surreal to Arbre, she'd decided to go shopping since it was nearly Christmas. She sighed, realizing that everyone else had also decided to go shopping.
Seeing how long the lines were, Arbre decided it'd be best to head back to the hotel and do her shopping another time. She didn't have the patience to wait in such long lines, and there was no point in looking if she wasn't going to buy anything.
Taking a shortcut back to the hotel, which was only a couple blocks away, she began to think of Dean.
She was about halfway back when her vision suddenly began to fade.

"A sleigh ride," Sam smiled to himself, wrapping the half-eaten sub back up before putting it into the fridge.
He got up and went over to the bathroom turning on the light and making his way to the shower. He was about to turn on the water when he realized his shampoo and such was still packed. Sam sighed and went to go get his essentials.
Rummaging through his bag, all of a sudden Sam felt a sharp pain on the back of his head before losing consciousness.

Dean sighed, looking around the hotel lobby. She wasn't there. He went back into the bar, not expecting the brunette to have gone back. And his lack of expectation was right.
That's when he decided to take a quick glance outside. Maybe she was still out there, he thought to himself.
She wasn't there either.
A bit disappointed, Dean went inside and was on his way back to the hotel room.
Author's note: So...the story wasn't well represented by the first chapter in my opinion, since it's going to be pretty dark for a bit...but it'll get light at the end again. I'd really love to hear more feedback, so leave a review please.
