Charlie woke to the sound of her cellphone ringing. She moaned and rolled over, taking a look the dingy motel room clock, 3:23am it read. Charlie groaned and hobbled her way across the room to the table her phone was on. "What the hell?" Charlie rasped into the phone without checking the ID.
"Well good morning to you to" Jakes voice rang through the phone, the volume of it made Charlie cringe, she was still suffering from the headache from the day before.
"Good morning? Are you kidding me? Jake, its 3am what the hell are you doing calling me?"
"Well I was just calling to congratulate you." He said, she could tell from the sound of his voice he was pissed.
"Congratulate me on wh-" before Charlie even had a chance to get the sentence out he started,
"Really Charlotte? I told you to go for the werewolf in fricking Casper! But no, you have to get all cocky and take out the vamps in Denver! Are you stupid or something? Did you think I was telling you to avoid that nest because I thought you couldn't handle it?" Jake spat into the phone, Charlie could practically taste the venom in his voice.
"Umm, kinda..." She said back, sounding unsure.
"Charlotte, Im not an idiot, I am well aware of the fact that you are more than capable of taking out a few vampires!" he replied sounding exasperated, "But I was also aware that the Winchester's were in Denver, looking into the very same vampire case you seem to be so interested in."
"Shit" Charlie hissed under her breath "So you heard about my little encounter with them?"
"Yes, I heard and so did every hunter within an 100,000 mile radius of Colorado. Dean has practically put a price on your head." He sighed, "Why do you get your self into these situations Char? Seriously, Im tired of covering your ass, you really need to pull yourself together."
I closed my eyes and sighed, "Your right Jake, I'm sorry, I should of listened to you."
"Hell ya you should of" Jake sighed and I could tell that he was stressed out "When are we going to talk about this Charlie?"
"Talk about what I asked" feigning innocence.
"Don't play dumb with me Charlotte" he snapped.
"Jake, I know what your going to say but don't waste your breath. I have nothing to say to you. I don't care what you say, Im over what happened in Blackfoot. Im fine and I would get a hell of a lot better a hell of a lot faster if you would just drop it!"
"Charlotte" he said, sounding pissed again "You can fool Dustin, and maybe you can even fool yourself but your not fooling me. I know you to well kiddo, I know you are not ok."
"Shut up Jake" Charlie snapped "you have no idea what you are talking about, so just do everyone a favour a shut your bloody mouth! Your not my brother so stop pretending." Charlie could feel tears stinging her eyes as she snapped her phone shut. She glared at her phone for a moment before turning and whipping it at the wall. Charlie stood there a moment allowing herself to stew in her anger before she took a breath and began to calm down. She took a deep breath and walked into the bathroom, splashed some cool water over her face, rubbing away her tears and drying her face on her sleeve Charlie crawled back into bed. Her head was pounding and every muscle in her body was aching, she wanted nothing more than to just forget the world and fall into darkness. So that is exactly what she did, Charlie closed her eyes and slipped into her dream world. Thats when the whispers started.
