The New Family

Chapter #2

As Dean was following his Dad's 4x4, John' s truck suddenly pulled over on the side of the road. Dean pulled his beloved Impala over beside his Father's. Dean got out to talk to his father and find out what was up. Sam was not sure if he should join in the meeting of the two hunters, as he was still considered an outsider looking in on this father and son team. Sam had to find a way too be a part of this family!

Sam opened the door of the Impala door to witness the end of John and Dean's argument. "You said this would be our vacation and it won't be safe for Sam in the Roadhouse!" After Dean said this he turned away from his father and was facing the forest. John took a calming deep breath and walked toward his son, put his hand on his shoulder and said, " I know what I said and we will go on our vacation but Ellen called and said that she has an interesting case for us." Dean's curiosity was tipped off. He had to know what kind of spooky monster was terrifying innocent people. "OK, I am listening."

" Ellen said that something is killing civilian hunters. That's all she said on the phone. I am going over to her bar to get more information and you and Sam are going to rent an R.V." Dean was not happy about this. " What? Dad, RV's are not cool. Please tell me you are joking!" John shook his head 'no.' "Dad, RV's are for Geeks and for really bad family comedies."

"I know son, but Ellen sent me a radio message telling me that we should rent an R.V and come over to her bar. Sam's curiosity got the better of him and he got too close to the two hunters and his foot accidentally snapped a small twig which caused John and Dean to turn around and see Sam standing there with a determined expression on his face. " Sam what the hell are you doing sneaking up on two hunters with holy water?' Dean yelled with protective fury in his voice.

"Son, don't take your anger out on Sam. You are angry with me." Dean's eye twitched, which was the only sign of his anger "No, Dad I am mad at you and at Sam. I am mad at you for changing the plans that we had and I am mad at Sam because I could have seriously hurt him with holy water."

Sam walks up to Dean and puts his hand on his shoulder. "I am sorry Dean. I did not mean to scare you. I just did not want to be left out of your family." Dean looked at Sam and saw that his expression was pleading with him to accept his apology. " I forgive you Sam, but next time just come with me for the next meeting." Sam and Dean shook hands to show that there were no hard feelings.

"I am glad that you boys are not fighting with each other anymore but my other plans will not be cancelled."

"But Dad, what about my baby?"

"Dean your car will be safe. Bobby will take care of your car. I will meet you boys at his place." Dean was so annoyed at his father but he know it was no use to argue with him when he had made up his mind." Oh fine, how long will you be?" John was glad that Dean was not trying to talk him out of going to the roundhouse bar. " I will only be at the roundhouse a couple of hours. My estimated time of arrival will be that I get to Bobby Grange at midnight."

"Dad, Bobby is a hunter. What will I say to him about Sam?" John reached in his pocket and pulled out a necklace with a key on it and handed it to Dean. As soon as Sam saw this necklace he backed away from John and Dean. "Dean put that on Sam now." Dean was unsure if should follow this order. "Do it Dean. It will be the only way for Sam to be safe at Bobby's!" Dean agreed with his father that he would put this necklace on Sam if it was the only way to keep him safe. "Sam you have to put this on. Bobby is a hunter. He will kill you if he thinks you are a threat to him." Sam took anther step away from Dean and John. " I am not a threat to you or any other hunter. Can't you just explain that to Bobby?" Dean takes a deep breath. " You know we can't do that. I did not trust you at first; you want to be part of our team, which means you have to trust us. I won't let anything happen to you. Just come over here and let me this necklace on you." Sam made a quick decision and walked over to Dean. Dean was relieved Sam was letting him do this. Sam was taking small and slow steps. Sam reminded him of a little fox coming up to campers for food. Dean did not try to come to Sam for fear of scaring him. Finally Sam was close enough for Dean to put the necklace around Sam's neck. As soon it was fastened, Sam instantly went limp in Dean's arms. Dean looked at his father. "Dad, what just happened? What was that necklace?"

"Son, that necklace is called "Jewelry of the Slave". It is a guarantee that a demon would not use their power against us. Sam will regain his strength soon". Dean looked at his father like a stranger. " Dad, when did you get this necklace?" John did not want to answer this question but he would never lie to his son. " I bought it after our frist hunt with Sam." Dean looked at his father with a look of shock. John did not like the silence. "Dean, get Sam in the car and go to Bobby's and wait for me"

"Yes sir,"

Dean, Sam and John went their separate ways. John did not like to leave the boys by themselves, but he had to talk Ellen alone.
