Its short forgive me. First I was without my computer for a few days and then I wrote this at like 1 in the morning and forgot to post it. So enjoy.

Chapter 3

John nodded, "Fine. While you and Dean go talk to the family, I'm gonna see what I can find from the morgue."

Dean and Sam nodded. John nodded once and left the room. When John was gone Sam turned to Dean.

"Hey, Dean? Did I…?"

Dean shook his head, "No, but you were close. That's why I tossed the water on you. Otherwise Dad would've gotten an earful of who you were dreaming about."

"Damn, that was close."

"You're telling me. C'mon, kiddo. Let's go talk to the family."

Sam nodded and they left the motel and piled into the impala and headed toward the address that Sam had found. Once they got to the house, Sam knocked on the door. The door opened and a young woman stood behind it.

"Can I help you gentlemen?"

Dean and Sam flashed their FBI badges, "Ma'am we're investigating your daughter's death and we'd like to ask you and your husband a few questions," Sam said.

"Veronica's death? But Veronica committed suicide."

"Well, ma'am," Dean started, "We have reason to believe that Veronica was murdered and who killed her is responsible for these other murders."

Mrs. Myers nodded and opened the screen and allowed the boys to enter. She ushered them into the living room and onto the couch. She left and returned with her husband in tow.

"My wife said that you wanted to ask us some questions about Veronica?"

Sam nodded, "Yes, sir."

"Please, call me Tom."

"Okay, can either of you tell us when was the last time you saw Veronica before you found her dead? And what was she like?" Dean asked.

"The last time I saw Ronny was that morning at breakfast. She was trying to tell me something, but I was running late so I brushed her off and told her I'd talk to her later. The one thing I noticed was that she seemed quieter than normal," Mrs. Myers said.

"What do you mean, Mrs. Myers?" Sam asked gently.

"Please call me Claire. Ronny was always a shy girl but ever since her father died and I remarried Tom, she became quiet. Never really talking much. But that day she seemed quieter, like more confined into herself."

"What about you Tom?" Dean asked.

"Uh, probably the day before that. I was pulling the graveyard shift at the hospital that night so I was sleeping the morning that Claire talked about. There was nothing wrong with her. She seemed to be her normal self. Never really said anything to me, but then again she doesn't really talk to me. And then I found her in her bedroom smothered with her pillow."

"So nothing she did or said struck you as strange?" Dean asked.

The Myers shook their heads. Sam frowned. Something didn't seem right to him.

"Excuse me, but may I use your restroom?"

"Of course, it's up the stairs and the last door on the left."

~SPN~

The minute Sam headed upstairs he searched the rooms until he found Veronica's room. He shook his head; her room didn't portray that of a withdrawn teen. She had bright colors all over her room, posters lined pretty much every inch of the walls. It just didn't make any sense. He sighed and walked down the stairs.

~SPN~

Dean noticed Sam coming back down the stairs and shook Tom and Claire's hands, "Thank you for your time. If we have any more questions we'll ask."

Once they were in the impala and they had pulled away, Dean turned to Sam, "So what did you find?"

Sam shrugged, "It doesn't make any sense, Dean. According to her room Veronica was a complete opposite than what her parents were saying she was. According to her room and little notes around it Veronica was a very lively girl."

"That's strange. I mean why would her parents say she was something that she wasn't?"

"They're trying to hide something, but what?"

"You didn't find anything like a diary in her room? Something that could tell us more?"

"No, but I did find her laptop. I'm guessing it was her diary."

"Did you take it?"

"Not exactly."

"Then how is that supposed to help us?"

"Leave that to your geek boy," Sam chuckled.

Dean chuckled, "You're right. You are my geek boy."

"Hey, did you find out where Veronica was buried?"

"Yup. She was cremated."

"Shit."

"Yup. Apparently her mother said that she was gonna bury her but Tom convinced her at the last minute to cremate her."

"Sonovabitch. That means dad's not gonna find anything at the morgue."

"Nope."

"If she was cremated then what the hell is keeping her here? And why would Tom convince her to cremate if she was already gonna bury her?"

Dean just shrugged. He parked the car next to their dad's truck and went to go meet him in his room. Dean knocked on the door and John opened the door. Dean went and sat on the bed while Sam sat at the table and pulled out his laptop.

"Well, there was nothing at the morgue," John said.

"Yeah, parents said that they had Veronica cremated," Dean said.

"So what's keeping her here?"

Dean shrugged and walked over to Sam and leaned over his shoulder, "Whatchu looking at, Sammy?"

"Dude! Back off of me. I'll let you know if I find something."

"Bitch, bitch, bitch."

"You know what, Dean? Fuck you."

"Boys."

Sam glared at Dean who smirked and ruffled his hair. Sam batted him away.

"Leave me alone, you big jerk."

"Aw, come on, Sammy no need to be a bitch."

"Boys, cut it out."

Dean sighed and left Sam alone while he did his "geek thing" as Dean called it. Using his computer Sam was able to get into Veronica's laptop. He found a file that was labeled "diary-do not read." He clicked on it and began reading. As he read Sam shook his head. I knew they were hiding something.

"Sammy, you got something?" Dean asked.

"I think so. I think I know what they, or at least Tom, were hiding."

Dean pulled up a chair next to his brother while John stood behind Sam, "What's up, kiddo?"

"According to Veronica's diary, her stepdad, Tom, molested her constantly."

"Seriously?" Dean frowned.

"Yeah, here's an entry that was dated a couple days before she died, 'I want him to stop. Is there no one who can help me? I wanna tell mommy, but he said he'd kill me if I do. Oh, God, please make him stop.' My guess is that that's what Veronica was trying to tell her mother when she was blown off."

Dean nodded looking at his brother, "Yeah, and the whole cremation thing makes sense, there wouldn't be any evidence that Tom either molested her or killed her."

"So why is she killing people now?" John wondered. "I mean if she's angry at her stepfather why hasn't she killed him yet?"

Sam shrugged, "I'm not sure. But whatever is keeping her here is in her room."

"Wait, what if it's her diary?"

"Whaddya mean, Dean?" John asked.

"What if the diary is the thing that's keeping her here?"

"It's possible, but that doesn't explain why she's killing random people who enter her room."

"To keep them from discovering the truth. To protect her secret. I mean she said that if she told anybody or anyone found out then Tom would kill her, right?" Dean asked.

Sam and John nodded, "Right," Sam said.

"So maybe her spirit is trying to continue to keep that secret."

"It's possible," John nodded.

"Yeah, and we need to get back into that house."
