Chapter 8

Breathe


After Sherlock, John, and Olivia stepped out and closed the door, Dean immediately turned to the Doctor. "What the hell was that?" He demanded. "I told you that we should've handled this."

"It's a bit too late now, I was about to ask her some questions." The Doctor took a step closer to Christine, "Again, really sorry about this, but we would like to know what you are."

"What do you mean what I am?" Christine demanded, "There's nothing to talk about. Just get out of here!"

Sam looked at the icicle on the ground, "Is that ice?" Sam picked up the long piece of ice to observe it, "Where did this come from?"

Christine straightened her back, "It's nothing..."

"Come on, you and I both know that's nothing." The Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver at her and pressed the button to scan her, "Now, let's see what you are."

"I'm human..." Christine's stomach started to turn, her pulse rushing, head spinning, Oh my god, this is highschool all over again... she thought, Oh God, they're going to find out. I'm going to get experimented on, maybe even killed!

Before Christine tried to excuse herself, Dean spoke up in her defense, "Doc, that's enough," he said grabbing the Doctor's shoulder, "You're scaring the poor lady. Let me handle this." Dean let go of the Doctor's shoulder when he finally got the memo, and took a few steps towards Christine.

"Look, whatever it is you guys are trying to prove, just drop it okay? I know what I am!" Christine's heart raced even more not knowing what will happen, "Dean, please, you have to believe me!"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Dean tried to reassure her, "I need to see your arm for a second."

"My arm? What's that going to pr-" Before Christine could finish, Dean took out a knife from his inside jacket pocket. "Dean. Put that away."

"Relax, I just need to test your blood." Sam wasn't sure whether to let his brother go with this or stop him, so instead he said nothing and stood next to Rose.

"Like hell you are! Sam? Come on, you have to have some sense here!"

Again Sam didn't say anything. He knew what his brother was doing. Check with a silver knife for a reaction. Works on most monsters and demons.

"I agree with Christine here Dean. There's no need for violence." The Doctor chimed in, examining his sonic screwdriver.

"There won't be any violence unless she doesn't cooperate." said Dean knife still in hand.

"Dean, drop the knife. My sonic says that there's no sign of alien in her. She's human!" The Doctor quickly put the sonic back in his jacket pocket and took a step in between Dean and Christine.

"Alien? This isn't what it's about Doc. We're talking ghosts, demons, crazy other things like that! That's why we're here, and she could be one of them!"

"Oh my God I can't believe this is happening." Christine ran her fingers through her hair anxiously and started to pace back and forth, "One you think I'm from outer space, while the other one thinks I'm a monster!"

"Oh please, there's no such things as ghosts." The Doctor countered, "Monsters, perhaps. But what you call monsters I call species from another planet."

"Will you two stop fighting?" Rose exclaimed. "Does it really matter if she's alien or monster?"

"Yeah Dean, that's enough." Sam agreed.

"Rose, like I said, the monsters they're talking about don't exist."

"What do you think me and my brother do for a living? We hunt and kill these things. And I'm suppose to listen to you and change my mind about what I've seen in my life?"

Hunt and kill? Oh my God, I'm going to die. Christine thought as the two bickered. My life is over, any moment now they're going to kill me. Or worse, take me to get experimented at a laboratory.

Christine's heart began to flutter, her stomach turned to knots, and her chest tightened as he began to panic. She didn't know what to do. So without any choice she did the only thing she could do and faint.

Everyone looked over at Christine with concern and quickly rushed over to her.

"What the hell happened?" Dean asked supporting her head.

"She might have had a panic attack." Rose said standing by his side. "Olivia asked if she was having one earlier when I went to get her."

"We need to get Olivia." Sam said aiding Dean.

Before anyone could get up, Olivia, Sherlock, and John rushed into the room.

"Christine?" Olivia rushed to her sister and pushed Dean away from her, "What did you do to her?"
