Supernatural: Wendigo
A/N: Here's the final chapter to this story. Yeah, I know I haven't been updating that often, but I've been busy with Christmas shopping and such, plus I've been bouncing story ideas off of my little sister Yami Faerie, too.
Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER THREE: GOING UNDERGROUND
THE FOREST…
After confirming that the Wendigo had definitely taken Hailey, Liz, and Dean, Sam and Ben wandered through the woods, trying to find some trace of the creature.
"If it keeps its victims alive, why would it kill Roy?" Ben asked, worried for his sister and his brother's safety.
Sam shrugged. "Honestly," he said, looking around for clues, "I think because Roy shot at it, pissed it off."
Just then, Ben found a trail of Dean's M&M's and picked up a yellow one. "They went this way," he said, handing the yellow M&M to Sam.
Sam laughed. "It's better than bread crumbs," he remarked, throwing it aside.
After following the trail, Ben and Sam came to an entrance to a tunnel that said "Warning! Danger! Do not enter. Extremely toxic material." Exchanging a look, they entered under the sign that said "Keep Out No Admittance."
Turning on a flashlight, they were walking down the tunnel when they heard the monster growl, and Sam pushed Ben against the wall. They could see it coming down the tunnel toward them, and Ben was about to scream, but Sam covered his mouth. Thankfully, the Wendigo took a different tunnel, so Sam and Ben slipped out of their hiding place, and moved in the direction that the creature came from. After walking a few yards, the floorboards started creaking and before Sam or Ben could react, they fell through the floor and into a lower chamber, which had a pile of skeletons that scared Ben.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay," Sam reassured the younger man, and then they looked up to see Hailey, Liz, and Dean hanging from the ceiling. Scrambling to his feet, Sam ran over to Dean and Liz, and Ben ran over to Hailey.
"Dean! Liz!" he exclaimed, relieved to see that they were still breathing.
"Hailey, wake up!" Ben cried, touching his sister's face, and hoping to get a response.
Sam grabbed Dean and shook him. "Dean!" he shouted again, and, with a groan, Dean opened his eyes. "Hey, you okay?" he asked.
Dean winced. "Yeah," he mumbled, still dazed from being man-hauled by the Wendigo. "Liz?"
Sam then turned his attention and Liz, whose shoulder he grabbed, shaking until she groaned and blearily opened her eyes. "Liz! Liz, you still with us?"
"Um… I guess," Liz moaned. "But I'm definitely seeing double," she added.
"If you've got a concussion," Dean stated, "I'll kill ya."
"Shut up, Dean," Liz groaned. "I'm fine."
"Hailey, wake up, wake up," Ben pleaded until Hailey opened her eyes.
Pulling out his knife, Sam cut the ropes and got both Dean and Liz down and Ben got Hailey down. "You sure you're all right?" he asked, helping the twins to the nearest wall for them to sit against, which just happened to be near their missing gear.
Dean grimaced in pain while Liz groaned. "Yeah. Yep, where is he?" he asked, referring to the Wendigo.
"He's gone for now," Sam answered, removing the remaining rope from around their wrists.
At that exact moment, Hailey saw Tommy still hanging nearby and started crying as she and Ben, with Sam following, staggered toward him, and she gently touched his face. "Tommy."
Tommy jerked his head up with a gasp and Hailey screamed. "Cut him down!"
Sam quickly cut him down as Ben and Hailey both helped support him; meanwhile, Dean noticed Roy's backpack and opened it to see what was inside that they could use against the Wendigo.
"We're gonna get you home," Hailey promised, relieved to find her brother still alive.
"Check it out," Dean called out as both he and Liz struggled to their feet, clutching three flare guns.
Sam grinned. "Flare guns. I think those'll work."
Dean laughed and then twirled the two guns he was holding while Liz chuckled.
The six of them head down a tunnel, supporting a limping Tommy in the middle, and they looked around when the Wendigo started growling.
Dean handed one of the flare guns to Sam. "Looks like someone's home for supper," he guessed.
"We'll never outrun it," Hailey moaned, scared.
Dean looked back at the group and then at Liz and Sam. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" he asked.
Sam nodded. "Yeah, I think so."
"I wish I wasn't," Liz sighed.
"All right, listen to me," Dean said to Hailey, Ben, and Tommy. "Stay with Sam, he's gonna get you out of here."
Hailey didn't understand. "What are you two gonna do?" she asked.
Dean winked at Hailey and started walking forward with Liz. "Chow time you freaky bastard!" he shouted. "Yeah that's right, bring it on baby, we taste good!" He continued yelling as he and Liz disappeared down a nearby tunnel.
"All right come on. Hurry!" Sam ordered and led them down the tunnel.
"Hey! Hey, you want some white meat, bitch? We're right here!" Dean shouted as he and Liz continued down the tunnel, hoping that they could draw the Wendigo to them and away from the others.
However, it seemed like the Wendigo wasn't falling for the trick, and growled in the area that Sam, Hailey, Tommy, and Ben were walking through, Sam at the lead.
"Get him outta here," Sam ordered, getting the flare gun ready as the growling continued.
"Sam, no," Hailey protested.
"Go! Go!" Sam snapped, and Hailey and her younger brother started helping Tommy out of the cave. Sam pulled up the gun ready to shoot, moved to the nearest wall, and looked down one way of the tunnel. "Come on. Come on.," he muttered.
Sam froze when the growl came from the other side of the tunnel, and he slowly turned to see the Wendigo was right in his face. Diving to the ground to avoid the claws, he shot at it, but missed. The ugly creature vanished, so Sam got back on his feet and ran down the tunnel after Hailey, Tommy, and Ben.
Hailey turned when she heard the noise and saw him coming. "Sam!"
"Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry," Sam gasped, helping the group run to the end of the tunnel, closely followed by the Wendigo, and discovered that it was a dead-end. "Get behind me," he ordered and bodily blocked the group.
The Wendigo walked toward them, and let out a loud roar, preparing for a slaughter.
Just then, Dean and Liz both came up behind the Wendigo. "Hey!" they shouted to get its attention, and they then shot the Wendigo in the stomach with the flare guns. With a loud roar of anger and pain, it burst into flame from the inside out, and in a matter of seconds, it was completely roasted and dead.
"Not bad, huh?" Dean asked, and the others laughed, relieved that the nightmare was finally over.
RANGER STATION…
After getting out of the tunnels, the group was found by a search-and-rescue team, and brought back to the ranger station, where an ambulance was loading up Tommy, and a policeman was interviewing Ben and Sam.
"And the bear came back again after you yelled at it?" he asked.
Ben nodded. "That's when it circled the campsite; I mean this grizzly must have weighed 800-900 pounds," he lied.
The policeman nodded, taking down notes on his pad. "All right we'll go after it first thing," he assured them.
Meanwhile, Hailey, Liz, and Dean, after being patched up, walked over to the Impala, and both Liz and Dean sat on the hood.
"So, I don't know how to thank you," Hailey admitted, and Dean stared at her with a suggestive look in his eyes. "Must you cheapen the moment?" she asked, exasperated and Liz laughed.
"Yeah," Dean said, grinning broadly.
"You're pathetic, Dean," Liz stated with a rueful smile.
Just then one of the paramedics came up to Hailey. "You riding with your brother?" she asked.
Hailey nodded. "Yeah." And she turned to Ben, who walked up with Sam. "Let's go." Ben and Sam nodded at each other and Hailey kissed Dean on the cheek and nodded to Liz, who returned the nod. "I hope you guys find your father," she added, and then, she and Ben started walking towards the ambulance. "Thanks, Sam." They got in the ambulance and it closed up.
Sam sat down on Dean's other side, and the older man sighed. "Man, I hate camping," he complained.
"Me too," Sam agreed and Liz nodded.
"Especially when there's a Wendigo involved," she added, grimacing. They sat on the Impala's hood in silence for a few moments.
"Sam," Dean finally said, "you know we're gonna find Dad, right?"
Sam nodded. "Yeah, I know… but in the mean time," and he grinned, holding out a hand, "I'm driving."
Sighing, Dean tossed him the keys; they got in the car, and drove away.
