"Shit!"
"What happened? Are you ok Kelly?"
Now
"Don't move. Something is very wrong here. I think it's some kind of trap", she answered.
A trap? What did she mean? I heard her breathing heavily and the metallic smell of blood flooded into my nostrils. She was hurt. I needed to find out what happened but the darkness was making it difficult. Suddenly I remembered the lighter we found.
Something on the floor reflected the light. I looked closer and found a peace of wire. Damn it was a trip wire. I couldn't see Kelly due to the little area the flame illuminated.
"Kelly how bad is your injury?" I asked hoping it was not too bad.
"My arm. Something is stuck in my arm" Kelly replied through clenched teeth.
Cautiously I moved closer until I could see her. Carefully I inspected her injury. Kelly was right there was a small wooden arrow stuck in her arm. It didn't look too good and without first aid kit the wound would most likely get infected.
"Kelly your arm doesn't look good. I will have to pull the arrow out and I am not gonna lie to you it will hurt" I told her. She nodded and I new she was prepared. Kelly winced when I quickly pulled the piece of wood out and applied pressure to stop the bleeding.
It looked worse than it really was. The bleeding soon lessened. Then I ripped the blanket and carefully wrapped the shreds around her arm after I cleaned the wound with water. "I can't do much more to tend your injury. I wish I had something to disinfect it because down here you will most likely get an infection. Lets just hope it heals fast but you should try not to use your arm too much", I said.
"Thank you. I wish it was simple to not use my arm but I need it to get us out of here", she replied. After a few minutes sitting there in silence Kelly started talking again "I am sorry that I didn't notice the trap."
"Don't be. How should you have known that there were trip wires? Do you want to rest for a while or would you like to move on?" I asked hoping to get far away from this place. At the same time I knew we would be walking around in this god forsaken cellar for a long time.
"I know that it is stupid but I don't want to start walking again. There could be more traps and I don't want to get hurt again and honestly I would like to stay here and if I have to starve to death while doing so. I don't care I just want it to be over Sam", she whispered.
She was truly loosing her hope and if I was honest with myself I too was thinking of this situation as hopeless. So I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer because it was the only thing I could do at the moment to make her feel better. My shirt was slowly getting wet with her tears. I wished I could tell her that everything would be alright but I just couldn't lie. Not after everything we went through.
I felt her moving in my arms so I loosened my hold on her. She sat up again but didn't pull away.
Time seemed to stop. Everything happened so fast and still too slow. I felt her hands travelling cautiously up my chest till they reached my face and suddenly I felt her lips on mine. The kiss was hesitant and soft but soon enough pure desire need and lust overpowered the sweet sensation of the first kiss.
I knew it was wrong. That she was upset. She wanted to numb the feeling of loneliness. I knew how she felt because I felt the same way. It was wrong in so many ways but it felt so right at the same time. I didn't want to take advantage and we needed to focus on getting out of the labyrinth so I stopped. "Kelly we can't keep doing that. We have to focus on getting out", I explained my actions.
"I know what you mean but do you think we will get out? This place is more dangerous than I thought. There are traps and cameras. It is cold and we don't have much water and food to survive. I was in a lot of dangerous situations because it is my job. I wasn't fully honest with you. I am working with some people who have problems with the government. We are hired to break into high security companies to find their loops in the system. We do that because every member of my group was in jail because of breaking and entering or hacking. Not only the FBI is after us but also the homeland security because we are able to hack into nearly every security system and I am quite sure that if we wanted to we could break into the pentagon. But now I am not even capable of getting out of a simple cellar that doesn't hold any kind of security system. So tell me Sam do you really think we have a chance of getting out of here alive?"
Her honesty surprised me. The question was if she trusted me fully or if she just told me because she thought she would die.
Did I believe in us? Would we be able to get out of here? These questions popped up since I woke up in this hell. If Dean was here I would tell her that we would be out of here in no time. I don't know why but with Dean near, everything was fine. But he wasn't with me now. I was on my own.
No that wasn't true. Kelly was with me. There was no way I would give up. I was a Winchester and every Winchester was too stubborn to give up. But I couldn't get out of this situation without Kelly and therefor I needed to tell her the truth. I had to go against the rule of all rules. So I broke the golden rule and explained my lifestyle.
After telling her about the things that go bump into the night it was deadly silent. Kelly didn't say a thing and I let her digest the information hoping she wouldn't think I was crazy.
She didn't pull away but didn't say a word either.
When I couldn't take it anymore I asked if she still trusted me or if she thought that I was a case for the asylum.
She just laughed at my question. "I don't know if I can believe you but I know that you believe in every word you just told me, so I guess I still trust you", Kelly said.
That girl was unbelievable. Maybe one day she would accept the existence of the evil beings in the world but for now I was glad to have her trust. I didn't regret telling her the truth far from it I was relieved.
"Does your arm still hurt?" I wanted to know.
"It isn't too bad. Don't worry about it I just have to be more careful", she answered. I suggested to start walking again and this time she agreed. After I helped Kelly up we started to slowly walk further into the tunnel.
I held onto her waist because I didn't want to hurt her arm by accidentally pulling it. With my free hand I felt along the walls while my eyes scanned the floor hoping to see the reflection of wire in case there was another trap. Kelly too was more cautious now.
My thoughts drifted back to the kiss we shared. She evoked feelings in me that I thought I would never experience again since Jess died. I wish I could explain why I felt so strongly for her but I couldn't. I didn't know her well but I felt some kind of deep connection between us.
Was it real? Did I really feel that way or was the loneliness and the situation I was in just confuse me? I had not much hope of getting out of here and that was what Kelly and I had in common.
Would I feel the same way if we had met under normal circumstances? If my connection with her was real would I be able to have a relationship with her? Could I get back to having a normal live again?
I didn't think I was able to stop hunting and lead the life of a normal citizen again. Paying taxes, working a nine to five job, living in a house and having a dog once was my dream but now I just had the hunt. Living day after day not thinking of tomorrow was my life now. I still wanted to kill the yellow eyed bastard but it wasn't about revenge anymore. I needed to find dad. I wanted my family back together.
My childhood wasn't the best and I was always arguing with dad but I still wanted to have him with me and Dean.
I often pictured us three hunting together but now I kept thinking of Kelly joining us. She knew the truth and didn't think I was crazy. Besides she already was living in dangerous situations.
"Do you feel that?" Kelly asked pulling me back to reality.
I stopped and concentrated on our surroundings. There was a light gust of wind but I couldn't pin point the direction it was coming from.
"I don't know for sure but I think the circulation is coming from the left side", I told her.
"That is what I thought. Lets check it out", Kelly said going to the left. I followed her slowly until we finally made out the source. The air was coming from a little fissure in the wall.
"Do you think we can dig us out of here?" Kelly asked.
I could nearly feel her hope of finally getting free. "The air has to come from the outside so it could be a way out but the soil is hard", I answered already testing the stability of the wall. Some soil got loose but it would take time. Kelly wasn't much help right now being forced to work with only one hand due to her injury.
"This is useless Sam. We won't get far digging with our hands", Kelly said after a while then she suggested going back to the room we discovered earlier to get something to dig with.
So we carved new symbols into the wall and walked back hoping to find the room without getting lost again. I wished I had memorised the way but I hadn't.
"I think we took a wrong turn. Damn we should have marked the room", Kelly said.
"Come on lets take a break. I want to check your arm", I suggested. The bleeding had stopped. Even though everything looked fine I still cleaned the wound again with some water.
"How bad does it hurt to move your arm?" I wanted to know.
"The pain isn't too bad. Getting lost while having a chance to get out of this hell is worse. I don't know where to go Sam. I have no idea where we are", she admitted.
I took her in my arms and whispered comforting words in her ear. We had to stay calm and focused.
She soon relaxed in my arms. I held her a while longer before letting her go. Then I took out our provisions which we ate before continuing our journey.
"I am sorry for being so emotional. Normally I am more composed but I just want to get out of here", Kelly told me. Then she added "Thank you for being there for me and for comforting me."
"Don't apologise Kelly. Honestly I am as grateful not having to be alone as you are. Besides who wouldn't like to get out of here? And I think no one would keep calm in this situation but you are not alone. We have each other to help us out", I said letting her know that I didn't mind.
We walked on for a while in silence.
"Do you know what's strange? I never met a person who I was comfortable with walking around in silence. But with you it is different. It feels like we are talking none stop without actually speaking and I like it. I mean I just met you but I feel like I always knew you. It's like there is a connection between us. ", Kelly admitted.
I didn't reply immediately because I had no idea what to tell her. I felt the same but I still hadn't found out if it was due to being trapped or not.
Slightly embarrassed Kelly quietly said "I shouldn't have said that. I am sorry if you feel uncomfortable now."
I don't know what to say Kelly. I feel the connection too but I wonder if it is real or situational", I answered.
My statement was followed by silence. I was afraid I had hurt her. After all we both were emotionally stressed. I regretted telling her but it simply was the right thing to do.
I couldn't let anything happen between us before I was sure my feelings were true. For Dean it wouldn't be a problem to have some fun as he likes to put it but I wasn't like him. I liked Kelly. I couldn't use her like this especially not now.
"Sam I want you to promise me something"
"Promise you what?" I asked automatically.
"Well you have to promise me before I tell you what I want. I swear it is nothing bad or embarrassing but it is something I need you to do", Kelly explained.
Without thinking I promised her to do what she wanted me to do and before I could ask for details Kelly exclaimed happily that we reached the room.
"Bring me to the cupboard with the drawers", I told her and she did.
I took some drawers and smashed them. We picked the thicker parts and made our way back there were no cameras near the wall with the gab.
"Ready to dig?" Kelly asked, took a board and started digging. I did the same.
Thanks for reading and please review!
