Claire shifted slightly trying to get comfy in the back seat of the impala. Her legs were still aching from all the running earlier and if she didn't tend to the wounds on her back soon they were bound to get infected.
Dean noticed her discomfort but chose not to comment on it. There was just something about this girl that just didn't ring true.
Claire was well aware that Dean had been watching her. Her original plan had been shot to hell, she was meant to fall out the portal have a few days to get her bearings get some money together find an apartment and play the poor damsel in distress and accidentally meet them and get the to help her. But now she had to think of a new plan, she cursed herself that she had been stupid enough to actually give them her real name. She had to come up with a plan first. She didn't know how much time she had before the event, and she couldn't ask them what date it was without looking like a complete nut case.
She knew that soon Sam and Dean would start asking questions soon and she wanted to get her thoughts together first before she started answering them so she wouldn't accidentally contradict herself. She closed her eyes and slouched in the seat and began to feign sleep.
Dean glanced at the sleeping girl through the drivers mirror and then back to Sam.
"You feeling ok?" Since almost running the girl over they hadn't had the opportunity to talk about Sam's nightmare.
"Was it a nightmare or something else" He emphasised the last word knowing same would know what he meant.
"Something else" He turned and looked at Claire and lowered his voice "We'll talk about it when we get to the motel" Dean nodded his agreement and pressed on the accelerator slightly harder.
They drove for another 25 minutes before they reached civilisation.
"So Claire where can we drop you off" Dean said over his shoulder. Claire opened her eyes; she sat up a bit and let out a fake yawn and looked out the window.
"Somewhere round the centre of town would be great thank you"
"Where you come from anyway" asked Sam. Great she thought Here comes the customary questions I bet anything as soon as they get settled into a grotty motel they will run a back ground check on me.
"Texas originally but I move around a lot"
"Really, how come?"
"Because of my Dad's job we never really stayed in one place too long" she replied looking out of the window
"Here's fine thank you"
Dean slowed the car and pulled up near the curb.
"Thanks again guy's" She climbed out the car and grabbed her bag.
She stepped out onto the side walk and waved goodbye to them as they pulled away. Knowing that they would properly stay in a motel in the outskirts of the town she knew that her best bet would bet would be to stay in the centre of town. She needed to find a bed for the night but the only problem was that the money in her wallet wouldn't be valid for another twenty or so years.
She glanced up the road taking in a few local shops and the odd bar which all appeared to be open. She slung her bag over her shoulder and headed towards them. Before entering she opened her jacket and adjusted her top so that a fair bit of cleavage was showing and entered.
The bar was dark and filled with noise from the jukebox. She quickly took in her surroundings. The bar was quiet busy, there was a dart board and a pool table in another being used by three rather drunk men slightly older than herself.
She walked over to the bar and ordered a beer. Taking a sip from it she walked over to the men. A couple of them smiled seductively to her or so they thought due to there drunkenness they just looked more like morons. She smiled shyly back and sat at the nearest empty table to them and watched them play.
When one of them completed a fairly complicated shot she clapped in appreciation.
"Would you like to join of love?" One asked her, he had dark hair and was a fair bit taller than her about 6''4 and was currently staring down her top.
"Erm not sure really never been that good at pool" she said lying through her teeth.
"Don't worry love we'll teach you"
"Ok then if your sure" After a few lesson by the dark haired one who's name turned out to be mike and the occasional 'lucky' shot she was ready to play for some cash, but the look of they weren't they were two busy starring at her ass every tie she leant over to take a shot. On more than one occasion Mike's hand had copped a feel which she forced herself to ignore.
Every fibre in her being was telling her to punch the guy in the face then knee the others in the balls, but she couldn't do that she needed to keep a low profile and a 21 year old woman taking down three guys twice the size of herself would surely bring in some unwanted attention.
"So I noticed earlier that you guys were playing for some money I think its only fair if
I put in some too"
She could see it his face, thinking that if he let her win he could properly get into her pants.
They started to play for money, she deliberately lost a few games until she was down about $150 then she pulled the weak little girly routine and looked as though she was about to cry and bet all or nothing and a date for the victor , which to Mick's surprise not to hers she won.
She quickly excused her self from the bar stuffed the winnings into her pocket grabbed her bag and walked out of the bar.
She walked quickly down the street behind her she heard the bar door slam and foot steps coming up behind her. She turned into an alley and felt a hand grab her shoulder and slam her into a wall. It was Mike.
She gasped as this action aggravated her earlier injuries.
"what do you think you're doing" She said pretending to be scared. He bent down and tried to kiss her, she managed to evade his lips.
"Somebody please help" she yelled out putting on her best victim voice.
She struggled a bit and let out a whimper. She tried to scream put his hand covered her mouth.
"Now darling why do you wanna do that for" He replied breathing down her neck nibbling her. He moved his hand up and roughly cupped her breast.
He moved his head so that it was level with hers and leant in for another kiss, again she struggled trying to get away from him without resorting to violence.
"Trust me love girl's like you love a bit of rough" he said moving his hand underneath her top. Her patience snapped.
"Have you ever thought that maybe just maybe girls just don't want to be groped and slobbered on by a drunken moron like you!?!" She said slamming her forehead in his nose. He yelled out in shock and pain, he stumbled back slightly.
"You fuc…" he slurred out cupping his bleeding face blood dripping down his white t-shirt. He was cut off as she kicked him in balls he let out a high pitch scream, which echoed down the alley.
"Now now there are ladies present and it's rude to swear"
He let out a roar of fury and lunged towards her, she easily side stepped him grabbed him by the hair and slammed his head into a wall knocking him out.
She walked over and checked his pulse collected her bag from where it had fallen and left him lying in the gutter.
She headed out of the alley and towards the nearest motel.
Hopefully chapter 4 will be up in the next few days
