Four
About five hours into the drive I began to fade slightly and asked Dylan to drive.
"You're trusting me with the car? You still have your anti possession tattoo right?" She joked.
"Dylan my eyelids are that heavy it would take two butt loads of adderall to keep them open, so yes I'm trusting you with the car, but I swear on my sawn off that if you do anything to hurt her I will tie your wings up and throw you off a cliff!" Dylan cracked up.
"Well that's a new one! I solemnly swear your darling will remain intact and in good working order, now get some shut eye girly."
"Thanks babes." I smiled pulling over and climbing into the passenger seat.
"Does this mean I can switch this soft cock rock off?" Dylan asked, smirking slightly.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." I muttered closing my eyes and settling down in the leather seat. Dylan started up the car and within minutes I was out.
I was running through a wooded area in the dying light of the evening when I heard a male voice call out.
"You can't run forever Rayne, I can smell you, your blood calls to me, my body craves it, so much I can almost taste it." I ducked down behind a tree, panting and gasping for air, my lungs felt as though they would burst and my calves burned.
"Your little angel can't help you now can she? Trapped in that ring of holy oil and fire, she cant even help herself. Oh Rayne why must you play this cat and mouse game with me? You can't win my dear, I will find you. And when I do I will tear your limbs from their sockets and bathe in your blood."
The voice called out in a vicious yet singsong way. I put a hand over my mouth to stifle the sobs that were now wracking my body. It was hopeless, I could run all day and all night and he would still catch me and kill me. There was no way I would make it out of here alive.
But god damn it I wasn't going out without a fight. I jumped up and bolted for a nearby clearing, hoping to put more distance between me and the evil voice. Suddenly from behind a bush a hand grabbed my arm, I swung around ready to attack when I saw it wasn't my pursuer but a tall, slightly lanky guy with shoulder length brown hair and blue green eyes.
A wave of relief washed through me and I hugged him.
"Rayne thank god, we thought he'd gotten you back there, this way, we will head to the car, Dean should be there, he went the other way looking for you." The tall guy pulled away and grabbed my hand. He pulled my exhausted body along through the trees for what seemed like forever when we finally reached a black muscle car with Kansas plates.
From the opposite direction a slightly shorter muscular guy with short brown hair and green eyes ran up to the car.
"Oh Sam you found her, thank god!" The guy called out, "get her into the car!"
The tall guy, who I now knew was named Sam, pulled me down an embankment and flung open the cars rear door. I jumped in and Sam slammed the door behind me before quickly climbing into the drivers seat. The muscular guy, who I assumed was Dean, climbed in the opposite side to me and Sam started the car with an almost deafening roar.
Just as the car pulled away a tall balding older man pushed through the thick throng of trees.
"You can't avoid it forever boys, she will be mine eventually and when I catch her I will flay the skin from her bones and make you watch!" He screamed. I shuddered but felt safe now.
"What about Dylan? How do we know he won't follow us?" I asked in a hoarse whisper, shivering even though it was warm in the car.
"We are going to get her now Rayne, don't worry about her. And douche nozzle can't follow, we have the sigils on the roof to avoid angel detection." Dean pointed upwards, I looked up and saw the symbols. Dean touched my face and wiped away some blood from a cut on my cheek. Then he pulled me to him and pushed his lips against mine, almost crushing me, he hugged me that tight. I felt myself melt into him and kiss back.
"We thought we'd lost you, we, I couldn't handle that. I don't want anything to ever happen to you Rayne. Ok? You mean way too much to me."
And he kissed me again.
I woke with a start.
Touching my lips that still felt the tingle from the dream kiss. I glanced over at Dylan who was on the phone and hasn't realised I was awake.
"Yeah I'm like five minutes away from Dad's now. I can see the junk yard. How long? Ok well I'll make sure Dad has beers in the fridge. Yeah. I'm bringing a friend. Rayne Murphy. Yeah that Murphy. No I won't. Dad already made me promise that. Yeah no worries. I'll see you tonight. Bye Sam." I closed my eyes and pretended I was asleep as she hung up. I knew that I wasn't meant to hear that conversation. Dylan gently shook my shoulder.
"Hey, Rayne, we are almost there, rise and shine Aurora."
I stretched and stifled a yawn. "Aurora?" I looked at her puzzled.
"You know, Sleeping Beauty, the Disney version?" She chuckled. I nodded vaguely, the only Disney movie I had ever seen was Aladdin and that was at Bobby's when I was nine. Dad didn't like any movies with a happy ending.
"Anyways, we are almost there and my sort of cousins Sam and Dean are coming to see Dad, so you'll finally get to meet them. Honestly I'm amazed you haven't met them before, they're pretty well known in the hunter community. But then again, you don't really mix with other hunters do you?" Dylan chatted on like this for a little while but I was lost in my own thoughts. But I couldn't help wonder if the Sam and Dean she was talking about were the same Sam and Dean from my dream. 'I guess I'll find out.' I thought to myself as we pulled up to Bobby's place.
