Happy Reading!
Chapter 3
They went to the cottage that the witch had been. All the doors and windows were closed in the house just like the way like it had been the night they came. Sam winced at the headache that was bothering him earning a concerned look form Dean. Sam mentally kicked himself for not taking some painkillers and hoped that any of his big brothers wouldn't start to fuss over it. Their attraction for audience hasn't really over since on their way; people on the road wouldn't stop staring and people in vehicles risked two or more glances ignoring Sam's death glare. Brad stopped the car near the house and turned to the passenger side
"See no one's home" Brad sighed.
"yeah but checking out wouldn't harm us man" He shot another dead glare at the hot blonde girl who smiled at the trio.
Brad shrugged and opened the door. San reached for the door handle too but Dean grabbed his wrist and held the younger boy before he climbed out of the car.
"What?" Sam asked staring at Dean slightly annoyed. Why can't his brothers just go and check the damn house.
" Look three of us can't go inside there"
" That would because?"
" We are attracting to much attention" Dean nodded towards the neighboring house of the witch's. An old man was glaring at them.
" Now you notice?" Sam said raising his eye brows.
" I know that you are frustrated Sammy. Hell we are too. But we can't come to the Impala or drive her invisible! " Alec said checking his .45 and Sam glared at him.
" Sam can't this wait…at least till night? " Dean asked and Sam shot him an incredulous look.
" Ok ok …I get it! We checking it now…" Dean sighed unhappily.
"Anything you wanna suggest?"
" Yeah…well Brad could stay and watch out for anything while we can go and check in the house!" Alec said shoving the gun inside his jacket. Brad started the Impala .
" Don't like to break it to you Sammy. But it seem like we better get out of here right now…That old guy creeps me!"
Brad drove the Impala further in the street and noticed a small coffee shop. Flashing a winning smile he parked it there.
" Ah…I thought we are not supposed to be the center of the audience!" Sam said half heatedly.
" Don't sweat it Sam. I'll charm the lady and try to fish some stuff outta her" Sam and Dean rolled their eyes.
" Yeah …"
" Come on dude she'll probably mother me. But seriously we might get to know some stuff about her friendly witch neighbor…After all this is a small town"
" Yeah which I hate…cuz we are already the audience" Dean said darkly.
" Whatever…Can we just get out and search the house" Alec grumbled stepping out of the car. Sam thankful that at least some one was on his side and followed Alec with Dean following him.
Coffee shop hasn't been the best place not to be noticed but they were sure that
They managed to get inside without much fuss and they were glad for that.
" Do you think leaving Brad there was a good idea?" Sam asked just as they got inside. Dean shot him a look and shrugged
" He'll pull out some stuff about the witch like he said and beside he'll come up with some cover up story…you know why suddenly a hot looking trio and a geek Hailey Joel is in the neighborhood." Sam shot him a glare and pinched him which was greeted by a smirk
Alec headed to the basement and before he went , Alec shared a look with Dean which Sam interpreted as 'don't let Sam out of sight' . Sam rolled his eyes indignantly. He was knocked out yesterday and ended up with a concussion. His head did bother him…So big deal. It's not like this is his first concussion…Still his big brother doesn't have to be his shadow! Sam huffed and walked away from his brothers. Alec and Dean shared grin and nodded to each other. Dean followed Sam and Alec went to the basement where they found the altar.
…………………………………………………………
Dean searched the bedroom and Sam checked the other one. Sam opened the cupboard, finding few old books discarded around the shelves. He opened one of the books and read through few pages . It was about basic Wiccan practice and rituals. Hopefully Sam fingered the pages trying to find anything that could help them. He went through couple of pages and shut the book. He can read it later. He checked the other books and found some books about Pagan Gods and other practices. Sam went to the table and opened one of the drawers in it. It was filled with papers. Some of them were bills and some of them were notes she had done.
Sam was startled by the footsteps behind him since he was so engrossed to one of the rituals he was reading. Dean walked to him and look above his shoulders.
" Found her diary?" Sam rolled his eyes.
" Nah just some of her notes… Any thing in the bedroom"
" Nope nothing which is to be expected since we did come last night and checked the place. " Dean made a face.
" Yeah I know."
" You checked the cupboard?" Dean asked pointing the slightly opened door.
" Yeah some books" Sam said collecting the notes.
"Ok…" Dean went to the cupboard and took one of the books from the lowest shelve which Sam didn't bother to look. He flipped though some pages.
"Wonder why she left them"
"May be they are not the real deal" Sam said looking through some recent bills and pocketing a one. He turned to his brother and leaned on the table. Dean looked at him and titled his head slightly.
" You ok?"
" yeah…um
Dean?"
"Hmm"
" What exactly happened after I was knocked out?" Dean shrugged
" Nothing much… after she thought to grace us with her appearance you took that little flying lesson…"
"And"
" I had to save your ass that's all"
" Dean!" Sam voice was almost whining. Dean raised an eye brow.
" Well since I couldn't kick her ass went to the second best choice. Destroyed the altar. Not that it was easy…I mean it's not as easy as spilling holy water or rock salt." Sam gave him a disbelieving look.
" Yeah I know" Dean threw the book back and grabbed another ,careless turning the pages.
" Did you take your own flying lesson too?" Dean looked up from the book.
" Yeah well I had the better luck than you. Landed pretty close to the altar . Guess she regretted it later" Dean shook the book holding it by the cover to see whether it has anything inside. Sam watched Dean's processing and shook his head. " Be careful with the book Dean"
" Hmmm…Remember that big black book we burnt. I'm almost regretting it now."
" She was pissed…and may be whatever happened to you was in that book" Sam agreed grimly.
" Yeah well what's done is done"
" So…" Sam let his voice trail, coaxing the older hunter to continue.
" She didn't say any thing just glared at me and did I tell you that she looked more charming when she was pissed"
" Dean!"
" You are a killer joy and you know what she did to us is just lame"
" Lame?" Sam parroted Dean's voice. " Lame…man there are three of you"
" Huh…thanks captain obvious, but I'm alive and kicking if you haven't noticed. If she so damn wanted revenge yeah then this is lame…she could have done more damage than just splitting me into three…" Dean's heart beat increased at the thought that she could have done anything to Sam. His baby brother…his purpose and his one of his weakness. Although it have been weird and freaked them out into a new level at first, they have managed to adjust themselves somehow to the fat that there are three of them now.
But anything happening to Sammy which would have hurt him and destroyed more than any thing in the world.
Sam watched Den's face darkening and as became thoughtful.
" So I was out of it?" He asked pulling Dean out of the trance he had been in.
" You remember anything?"
"Just burning the book, the witch coming and some random stuff. Others are a bit fuzzy"
Dean frowned. "Yeah you were dazed…eyes glazed, unfocused just staring at nothing but air. Well you had a nasty concussion…or she did something to you ." Dean shrugged . "May be not cuz of that lump in the back of your head" Sam's hand automatically reached behind his head at the lump that still was there. He winced. The action went unnoticed to Dean since he was interested in whatever the book in his hand offered.
"Yeah but still you don't have to stalk me" Sam said indignantly tuning his attention back to the notes. Dean looked up and gave him disbelieving look and a snort.
" Stalk you? Dude you so out of my type" Dean looked at his little brother amused.
" Beside you had a concussion…you weren't really responding yesterday …zoned out like…" Dean trailed . Sam sighed and supplied helpfully " Like I'm a having a vision…premonition…whatever the hell it is" Dean nodded.
" So I hauled your heavy ass…dude all those princess eating you do but still weight like hell"
" Princess eating"
" One word Sammy, salad"
" Vegetables won't kill you Dean"
"Whatever I really didn't care much about anything other than getting us to the motel. Beside what can I possible do? I can't kill her or either call cops on her and say she was doing some hoodoo on a family."
" Thanks Dean" Sam said sincerely. Dean rolled his eyes.
" Yeah sure…then Alec took the pleasure of knocking you out again. Not that I'm worried or stalking you dude but I need you alert to get this crazy bitch" Sam snorted and gave a knowing nod to that.
" So it's Alec" Dean's eyes shone with mischief.
" Hell yeah but don't tell him"
Alec took the very moment to crash in.
" Did I hear my name ?"
" Naha" Dean replied shaking the book. Alec cocked an eye brow . A small piece of paper fell from the books . " Viola" Dean exclaimed excitedly and checked the note. There was a phone number and ' Jenny Brooks' scribbled in it.
" Nice job bro" Alec thumped Dean on the back. Dean stuck his tongue at him.
" You found anything"
" No…nothing important than candles and herbs…that nasty stuff Missouri had"
" Angelica root" Sam said absentmindedly. Alec muttered 'geek' under his breathe and shook his head.
" Huh…You think she'll be back for the books?" Alec asked looking around the books.
" Dunno…we could always keep an eye" Dean answered pocketing the number
" Sure have Brad to do that" Alec said.
" Lets get outta here and check this number. You and Brad cold may be find where she worked so far…Sam you can check in the local library for any sort of a curse…and grab some of these books so you can get to read them." Dean took few books and tucked them under his arm and walked out of the room. Alec stared at his counterpart's retreating back.
" Whoa…I'm bossy' he commented. Sam chuckled. " Yeah join the club bro" he said shoving Alec towards the door following Dean with a goofy grin.
