Chapter Eight – Croatoan, Hunted

"I wouldn't waste an innocent's man life." Sam didn't say a word, so Dean looked at him. "I wouldn't!"

"I never said you would." Sam answered.

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Well, what a start for a hunt." Dean said.

"You should've let me stay at Bobby's.", Emma said from the back.

"Don't start now too." Dean grunted. "Fine."Emma moved slightly. Why was this dream so realistic?

"Dean? Dean, what are you doing?" Emma stood near the doctor, but Dean ignored her.

"I got no choice."

"Dean!"

Dean stared at the boy who's face was pure fear. "Damn it…" Dean put the gun down and went outside.

Emma followed him. "What the hell was this? Didn't you say befor-"

"I know what I said!" Dean yelled.

"You are acting like Gordon, you know that?"

"Don't play with me, Emma. I'm so not in the mood." 'I need to wake up. I don't want to dream about this again, no, no, no…'

Dean turned to Emma. "Get them out of here. Drive to the roadhouse and warn the others."

Emma froze. "What? No. What are you doing?"

"Something Gordon wouldn't have done." Dean said cold.

"You are insane."

"Emma, he is right." Sam said now. Emma saw a tear in his eyes.

"Get out of here." Dean said to the others, which they did.

"Maybe there is a way-"

"This is not the time to argue." Dean said and shoved Emma outside.

"When is it then? I can't argue with graves, I'm not good at that." Dean pushed her and Emma went some steps behind and fell on her butt.

"You have to warn the others. There is at least this thing we told you: We do our Jobs to save people. Now do your job and safe them." Dean closed the door and locked it. Emma sat on the ground and stared at the door. She shortly closed her eyes, then she got up and went to the others.

"Alright, I will check out what's going on. I'll give you a sign when you can follow me." Emma said.

"A kid wants to protect us?"

"Shut up." Emma said harsh and walked to the window to look outside. She frowned and went outside. But there was no one there. "Doctor, get them, they have to see that." Emma commanded and walked around the house.

"Emma?" Dean and Sam came outside.

"There is nothing. No one seems to be here, at all."

Emma finally opened her eyes. She was sweating. What did just happen? Why did she fully re-dreamed what happened on their last hunt? Suddenly Dean got up quickly after he saw, that Sam was gone. "Ouch, damn it. Dean!" Emma said. She got kicked by Dean, because she slept on the ground between the brother's beds and Dean hit her with his feet.

"Where is Sam?" Dean asked and got into his pants.

"What?" Emma sat up and looked around.

"We gotta find him." Dean said and got into the bathroom while Emma hopped into her pants too. She was just in the middle of changing her shirt, when Dean entered the room again. He stopped for a second and watched Emma, who saw that and got her T-Shirt on quickly.

"Dean!"

"What?" Dean had this wolfish smile on.

Emma grunted and put her shoes on. "Where should we look for him?"

"I'm going to call Ellen." Dean answered and picked his phone. "Pack your stuff."

"Yes sir."

Dean was quiet the whole drive. "Is that really your plan? Just cruising around, hoping that we randomly see him?" But Dean didn't answer. "Dude, seriously. I mean, we got no idea why he left so we ain't got a clue where he could be." Emma had the suspicion that Dean knew why Sam left, because yesterday both were so quiet in the car, Sam even seemed really pissed.

"We are going to find him, okay?" Emma nodded. "We have to." Dean added softly. Then both just sat there and didn't say a word for a while.

Till Emma finally got the guts to ask. "What happened yesterday?"

"Nothing."

"Yeah, apparently. Sam left because nothing happened, that's his style." Dean kept a straight face. "This must be a real bad joke." Emma became a bit angry.

"It's not on your business."

"It is on my business! Sam is gone and I care about him!" Then Emma froze for a second. "Did Sam tell you why I called him some days ago?" She asked.

"He told me that you asked if you could join the hunting again." answered Dean.

"So he didn't tell you that I didn't got mind controlled and he thought that I was one of those special kids."

Dean pulled over. "Come again?"

"When you guys got to the case with Jo I got in a fight with Sam before you left and he let me stay at Ellen because of that. That was the reason I went back to Bobby."

Dean stared at Emma and couldn't believe what she said. "You got to be kidding me. Sam yelled at me for keeping secrets and he does it himself? That's just great." Then Dean looked like he thought about something. "What do you mean, Sam thought that. He doesn't think that anymore?"

"I guess. I don't know though." Dean looked straight forward. "You think that I'm one of those psychic kids too, don't you?"

"I don't know, but why didn't Sam tell me about it."

"Maybe the same reason you kept secrets from him?" Emma answered and sounded annoyed about the double standards that Dean had.

"Because Dad told me to kill him! There, are you happy now?"

"He did what?" Emma couldn't believe her ears. John wouldn't say something like that if he wasn't really sure about it.

"He said that I have to save Sam and if I couldn't that I have to kill him." Dean suddenly got out of the car. Emma waited some seconds before she followed him. "He got really pissed at me that I didn't tell him."

"Yeah, Sam doesn't like it much, when you hide secrets from him." Emma said and leaned against the Impala, next to Dean.

"It wasn't like I didn't tell him because I felt like teasing him." Dean grumbled. "I asked him to take a break from the jobs, that's why he took off I guess." Emma couldn't answer Dean. It was the first time that Dean was so open to her.

Suddenly her phone rang. "Yeah?"

"Emma, its Ellen. I might know where Sam is, but I don't want Dean to freak out about it."

"Who is it?" Dean asked.

"Shut up." Emma said to Dean. "What if I freak out about it? Where is he?" Suddenly Dean took Emma's phone.

"Ellen?" Dean went back inside the car while he talked to Ellen. Emma got back inside too.

They stopped in front of a motel and saw Sam standing near the window. "He's okay, thank god." Dean said quiet. Then they saw a girl too.

"And he got company."

"Seems like he is better than okay." Dean grinned. Suddenly they heard a shot and the window glass broke. "Damn it." Dean got out of the car, just like Emma. Both ran up to the roof and saw Gordon. Dean immediately attacked him while Emma tried to grab the gun. But Gordon got the gun and knocked Dean out, then he took Emma's arm.

"Don't start shit with me." He said, then he knocked her out too.

Emma started to blink and woke up. She was tied up at a chair. Dean was behind her, apparently tied up to. "Emma, I thought you would never wake up. Your little trainee isn't used to that, is she?" Gordon grinned and stroke over her head.

Emma moved her head. "Don't touch me.", she hissed.

"Be a good girl. You have to take Sam's place, so you should behave. I don't want to hurt you." Emma glared at Gordon.

"You wont be able to hurt me. Hell you wont be able to hurt Sam either!"

Gordon laughed. "And who will hinder me from doing that? You? Or Dean? Good luck." Gordon grabbed two scarves and gagged them. "I really have no choice but killing this monster, you know? You guys should know though, it's your family business, isn't it?" Gordon snorted. "If only John would've made the right deal. Hey Dean, stop moving around, you will miss the show."

"Here he comes." Gordon said when they heard the door opening. Emma closed her eyes and tried to hold the tears back. Then they heard the explosion of the grenade. While Emma heard Dean trying to scream she couldn't hold it in anymore and a tear shed. "Just wait…" Gordon said calm and then the second grenade exploded. Gordon got up and went to the other room to look after the mess. Suddenly they heard fighting noises. Emma opened surprised her eyes and even heard Sam's voice. After a short while he came in and untied first Dean then Emma. When he looked into Emma's face he stopped for a second when he saw the tear. Then he got up, where Dean put the hand on his shoulder, looking revealed that he got his brother back, while Emma just stood there and wiped away her single tear.

"I'm going to kill that son of a bitch." Dean said and wanted to go to the other room. But Sam held him back.

"Don't."

"I let him go once, I wont do the same mistake twice." Dean said.

"I got it covered, believe me. Let's go." Sam grabbed Emma's arm and dragged her fast outside, Dean followed them. Some steps away from the house they suddenly got shot by Gordon so they started run and ducked.

"You got this covered, eh?" Dean said.

"Just trust me on this one." Sam said. Suddenly police cars arrived and the police men took care of Gordon. "Anonymous tip." Sam grinned.

"You're a fine upstanding citizen, Sam." Dean said and Emma had to smile too.

(-)

"Are you alright, Emma?" Sam asked and turned to her. Emma was really tired and could only nod. "Gordon hit you hard, didn't he? Maybe we should let someone have a look at it."

"I'm fine, really." Emma said quickly and then laid down on the backseat. "Dean?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry… I should've never compared you to Gordon…" Dean didn't say a word.

"Emma gets to know the good sides of a hunter's job." Sam said sarcastically.

"There are no good sides anyway! Let's just ditch the job and go somewhere else, just forgetting about this crap."

"Well, come on, dude, you're a hunter. I mean, it's what you were meant to do."

"Oh, I wasn't meant to do anything, I don't believe in that destiny crap."

"You mean you don't believe in my destiny." Sam said.

"Yeah, whatever. "

"Look, Dean, I've tried running before. I mean, I ran all the way to California and look what happened. You can't run from this. And you can't protect me. "

"I can try."

"Thanks for that." Sam said quietly, Dean just nodded. "I'm gonna keep hunting. I mean, whatever is coming, I'm taking it head-on; so if you really want to watch my back, then I guess you're gonna have to stick around."

"Bitch." Dean said.

"Jerk." Sam answered and smiled. Then he looked back to Emma, who had fallen asleep. "I guess I got someone else who is watching out for me." Sam said softly.

"She got really worried about you."

"Yeah, I know…" Sam whispered and thought of the tear he saw earlier on Emma's cheek. "Dean, can we please look for Ava. I can't reach her on the phone, I got a bad feeling…"

"Sure."
