…………………………………………CHAPTER 4………….…………………………...

Looking around the empty dark street Sam can't help but admire each neatly lawned house that stands still against the moonlit background. With the shock of his surroundings Sam forgets about Nina kneeling on the floor until she stands up next to him and begins to take in the view.

"Where are we?" Sam says as he continues to look around the street hoping that any minute now Dean would walk around the corner and be just as much confused as he was.

"Were in one of my visions. How….how come you're here with me?"

Turning around to face Nina, Sam for the first time notices how pretty she is in the moonlight. "Your vision? Are all your visions like this?"

"Not normally. I normally feel like I'm watching it as if it's on telly or something." Nina replies wrapping her arms around her body as she shivers in the cold.

"Me too."

Looking back around the street Sam starts to look for anything out of place until Nina pulls back on his arm and turns him around to face a white house. The house sits in complete darkness except for the porch light which begins to flicker. Suddenly the light goes out and the house remains dark until they see a light come on from behind the front door. The light begins to flicker but then stops, as to does the light in the living room window. Taking a few steps towards the house Sam and Nina suddenly find themselves standing at the foot of some stairs inside a house. Removing her arms from around her chest Nina quickly realises that they are inside the house they were just watching from outside.

Feeling Nina's cold hands against his arm Sam notices her gesturing up towards the stairs where the hallway lights begin to flicker on and off. Following the trail of flickering lights up the stairs and then along a hallway Sam and Nina stop outside a bedroom door that is slightly ajar. Seeing the bedside lamp flickering from within the room Sam and Nina enter and come across a man asleep in his bed. Walking towards the foot of the bed Sam and Nina watch the man sleeping totally unaware that two strangers are in his house. Before Sam and Nina have time to think of what to do next they notice the hallway lights begin to flicker again but this time much brighter.

As the lights flicker the overwhelming feeling of someone walking up the hallway sweeps over Sam. Nina takes a deep breath as they watch on in horror as four grey, burnt looking fingers appear from the hallway clamping themselves around the bedroom doorframe. Holding on to Sam's elbow Nina watches as a distorted human shape enters the room and stands next to the bed looking down at the man. Standing no more than 5 feet tall the creature begins to jerk its neck as it takes in the smell of the sleeping mans odour. Sam looks at the creature's body which is covered in fierce burn marks as if it was once engulfed in flames. As the creature takes in another deep breath of the man's odour Sam can clearly see whip marks across its back which are so deep, dark redness of its muscles can be seen seeping though. The creature's dark, grey like complexion makes it hard for Sam and Nina to see if it is a man or woman standing before them. Hanging from the creatures neck Sam notices a green pendant which is attached to a gold necklace.

Sensing that someone is watching him the man slowing begins to open his eyes and then rubs them clean as he sees the creature standing before him. Sitting himself up the man begins to edge himself towards the other side of his bed all the while reaching out for his phone while he keeps his vision locked on the creature. Shielding Nina with his arm Sam watches as the man begins to shake with fear. Remaining quite peaceful looking the creature remains staring at the man moving its head from side to side as if taking in every possible angle of the man's frozen complexion. Just as Sam begins to think that this creature means no harm he swallows his words as its eyes turn to that of a deadly red and it flips its head back letting out a harrowing scream. Sam, Nina and the man quickly cover their ears as the creature raises its hands to reveal six inch claws retracted from each of its fingers. Bowing its head back down the creature looks back towards the man whose trembling hands begin to fumble again desperately searching for his phone from the side table. Sam and Nina release their hands from their ears as they watch the man scream out in terror as the creature jumps up on to his bed and begins to slash at his stomach with its razor sharp claws. As blood scatters the walls Nina buries her head into Sam's chest as he wraps his arms around her. Hearing the blood gurgling screams of the dying man Sam turns away and hugs Nina tighter while the creature lets out a victory shriek.

Hearing the room go once again silent, Sam opens his eyes and realises that they are now back outside the motel room and it is daylight.

"Were back" Sam says as Nina pulls her head out from his chest and looks around at the car park while Sam looks around for Dean.

"Where's Dean? He was right their"

"What was that thing?" Nina says, her voice still trembling from what she has just seen. Looking back and seeing her pale complexion Sam holds her head in his hands as he checks her over.

"Are you ok?"

"Yer I'm fine….I think"

"We need to find Dean." Sam says releasing his hands and taking another look at the car park.

"Maybe he's inside?" Nina says gesturing to her Motel room door which is still open.

Darting inside the room Sam takes a step back as he finds it completely empty apart from the motels bed, TV, dining table and chairs.

"My stuff…..it's all gone." Nina says walking around the room before standing in front of Sam and jabbing him in the chest. "Is this what you do huh?"

"What?" Sam says holding up his arms trying to defend himself from Nina.

"Go around robbing people. I trusted you, and your brother. WHO ARE YOU?" Nina's jabs turn into punches as she starts to hit Sam harder. Catching her hands in his, Sam holds Nina's still.

"Nina I have no idea what's going on."

"What about your brother?"

"Dean would never do this. He would never leave either. Something is up and we have to figure out what."

"Sorry." Nina says shrugging her hands free from his grip.

"That's ok. Let's just try to find Dean. I'll call him."

Patting down his jeans Sam fails to find his mobile phone when they hear a noise coming from inside the Motel bathroom.

"DEAN?!" Sam yells walking over to the bathroom but before he reaches it the door swings open to reveal the Motels maid. Walking past Sam the maid begins to turn down the bed as Sam and Nina watch in surprise as she doesn't question why they are there.

"Ah Hem, excuse me. Do you know where my friend's stuff is?" The maid carries on turning down the bed giving Sam no indication that she heard him. "Or my brother for that matter?" Standing next to the maid Sam looks over to Nina and huffs as the maid carries on with her duties. "Err….Hola. Coma….How good is your Spanish?"

"I don't think it's out Spanish we need to worry about Sam. She can't see us."

Taking another look at the maid Sam watches as she moves over towards the other side of the bed and begins to tuck in the bed sheets. As the maid begins to hum to herself Nina walks up beside her as Sam leans over the bed and waves his hand in front of her face. Giving no reaction the maid continues humming while Nina reaches out for her arm but then gasps as her hand goes right through it as if she was a ghost. Shaking in fear and holding her hand out in front of her face Nina takes a few steps back.

"Is she….she a ghost?"

"I don't think it's her." Nina looks at Sam who is staring at her with his mouth wide open. Looking down Nina finds herself standing in the middle of a set of draws that surround the bottom half of her body. Clasping Nina in his arms as she runs towards him Sam escorts her outside and back to the car park.

As Nina falls to the floor Sam runs his hands across his face then notices a green Volvo parked up next to him. With his index finger outstretched Sam goes to touch the car window but like Nina, his finger fails make contact and his entire hand goes through the window. Feeling the warmth from the inside of the car on his finger tips Sam quickly pulls his hand back and looks down at Nina who has just watched his failed attempt.

"What the hell is going on Sam?"

"I don't know." Sam says joining Nina on the floor and leaning back against the Volvo only causing him to go flying back and ending up lying flat on the ground. Quickly pulling himself up Sam edges himself next to Nina.

"What are we going to do?" Nina's says as Sam places an arm across her shoulders pulling her head towards his chest.

As the maid locks up Nina's motel room she is greeted by another maid who begins to speak to her in Spanish. Ignoring the laughing maids, Sam stares at the floor trying to make sense of what's happened as Nina pulls her head away from Sam's chest and looks over towards the two maids.

"What is it?"

"Sssssh." Nina says standing up and walking over towards the maids.

Remaining on the floor Sam watches Nina as she listens to the two maids talk until they break apart and go their separate ways.

"We need to get to the hospital." Nina tells Sam as he stands up and dusts himself down.

"What? Why? How do you now that?"

"I did two years of Spanish at High school and I managed to pick up on a few things that those maids where talking about."

"What did they say?"

"One maid asked the other if she knew what happened to the girl and boy from that room meaning you and me."

"And?"

"She doesn't now all she knows is that we are currently in hospital."

"Hospital?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Hospital is said the same in Spanish as it is English, I'm pretty sure."

Running up towards the side of the road Sam looks down at the nearest road sign.

"What are you doing?" Nina says running up behind him.

"Fancy a walk?" Sam says with a slight grin across his face then nodding towards the road sign as Nina looks at him confused.

Reading the road sign Nina curses in disbelief as it reads "LOCAL HOSPITAL 6 MILES."
