Chapter 3
Supernatural POV
"Did you find anything?" Dean asked while taking a big bite of hamburger. They were in the Wheatville Diner, which was a typical greasy place. The entire reason they had gone to the small town was the reported five gruesome deaths in a store nearby. After the strange car ride, Dean was hoping to get back to business.
"The people who died all worked for the Mysterious Earth shop, so we should probably check it out," said Sam, who then got up and paid the bill.
Dean finished his burger and looked around the diner, while Sam spoke to a waitress. He saw the Doctor and Rose in a corner booth. He hoped they wouldn't see him. Thankfully, they were both looking out a window.
"Ready to go?" Sam said, walking towards Dean, then waiting for him to get up.
"Yeah," he replied, taking a swig of water. "C'mon."
"Hey isn't that-"
Dean grabbed Sam and said, "We're going!"
Just as they left the Wheatville Diner did the Doctor and Rose notice them. Dean wasn't sure why he didn't want to talk to them, but he did know that something was not right and it wasn't that the guy was an alien. It was something much, much deeper than that, and Dean wasn't sure he wanted to get involved.
11 PM, That Night
The Mysterious Earth was one of those tourist shops that sold "alien-finding" and "ghost-communicating" equipment. Sam tried to look through the poster-covered windows while Dean picked the lock. To Dean's surprise, the door was unlocked. "Why would they leave the door open," he muttered. "Sam it's open."
They turned on their flashlights and crept into the store. Little knick-knacks lined the purple shelves. Everything was quiet until a strange buzzing noise startled them. Dean dropped his flashlight and swore, then picked it up. "Hey didn't that sound like the Doctor's metal wand thingy?" Sam whispered.
"You're right," said Dean suspiciously. A quiet footstep behind them made them spin around and Dean pull out a salt-filled gun.
"Doctor?!"
"Sam and Dean?!"
For it was the Doctor standing there. "Why are you here?" he asked with confusion on his face.
"Why are you here?"
The Doctor stood up straighter and looked serious. "Answer the question."
Dean sighed. It was a fake sigh, but the Doctor didn't know that. "Like we told you, we are making a TV show about a mystery. We asked the owners and they said we could shoot here."
"I don't see a camera, so how are you filming?"
"We are rehearsing before we start. Now you still haven't said why you are in this closed store," Sam said.
Suddenly Rose appeared by the Doctor's side. She seemed to understand what was going on and didn't say anything. "They have some weird frequencies coming from inside of the shop, so Rose and I decided to check it out."
The lights went on inside the shop, shocking the people within. "If only you and Rose came, then who turned on the lights?" Dean said softly. They all turned their heads towards the door that lead to a big storage room. A scream pierced the air, and the lights went off again.
The Doctor and Rose started running to the door, desperate to save whoever got trapped. Sam and Dean took off a second later, but before any of them could reach the door is slammed shut and locked. Instantly the Doctor took out his sonic screwdriver and began buzzing it, but it wasn't working. "Of course it had to be wood."
Sam, meanwhile had began pouring salt out of a bag into a circle around them. Rose raised an eyebrow and said, "how is pouring salt going to help anything?"
"Keeps spirits and demons out," Dean answered casually.
"I thought you were shooting a TV show? Why-"
"People lie, Rose!" The Doctor snapped, then felt bad when he saw Rose's hurt expression.
The lights started flickering on and off, and items fell off the shelves. Whatever it was, it was getting closer. They huddled together and looked for something, anything that would show them what was there. A radio turned on on the counter and started playing a song.
It's the final countdown!
Loud footfalls echoed through the store. The radio stopped playing and it was suddenly an eerie silence. The only sound was them breathing.
"Hello, Doctor."
