Chapter Nine

Amanda went back into the cave and sat by the fire. Now, she had nothing to do but wait until Kyle got back. She turned off her cell phone because it was almost out of battery. She emptied her pockets and counted almost forty bullets that she pulled form Kyle's flesh. He seemed to be gone for a long time. Amanda was starting to worry that Kyle did go back to the motel and killed Sam. Just as she worried this, Kyle came back covered in blood.

"Wow, you're still here." Kyle said shocked to see Amanda.

"What did you kill?" Amanda asked gesturing to all the blood on him.

"First of all, most of this is my blood. Second, I only killed a pony." Kyle answered. "I thought you would leave."

"I really don't want you to kill my friends." Amanda said standing up.

"You mean Sammy?" Kyle sneered.

Amanda didn't answer.

Kyle walked to the fire and warmed himself up. "Just answer me one question. Do you love him?"

Amanda's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want to answer. If she said she loved Sam, Kyle would get angry and want to kill him even more. She knew she loved Sam, but she could tell Kyle that.

"Well?" Kyle urged.

"I don't know." Amanda finally answered with a shaky voice.

"Then why don't we find out?" Kyle said standing back up.

"No, no just leave him alone. He didn't do anything." Amanda said tears in her eyes now. She felt a huge lump in her throat that wouldn't go away.

"Sure sounds like you love him Amanda. I saw you and him sitting by the window waiting for me to come. You almost kissed him." Kyle said sitting back now mostly because he was too weak to stand.

"Well then maybe I do. I'm trying to move on with m life Kyle, and not stay stuck in the past. I'm not your girlfriend anymore." Amanda said strongly.

Kyle stood back up and smacked Amanda hard across the face. She fell to the ground with a bloody lip.

"You are my girlfriend." Kyle said panting.

Amanda was too afraid to argue back and stayed on the ground defeated.

"I want to talk to him and Dean." Kyle said after sitting opposite Amanda. "In the morning when the sun is out so I can be human."

"You'll never be human any more." Amanda said quietly facing the ground.

"I didn't ask for this you know. I didn't want to be bitten by that wolf. I wanted… to marry you." Kyle said suddenly calm.

Amanda looked up at him from the ground and said, "But you did get bitten by that wolf. I can't be with you any more. Please, let me go." She said with tears streaking her face.

"I don't want to. I can't survive without you." Kyle said. "I care to much about you to just let you go out and get yourself killed."

"If you care so much about me, think about what you're doing to me right now. You're preventing me from having my own life. I know you want to be with me, but that mean you have to turn me into what you are. That is killing me, Kyle. In a way, you are the one killing me, not the world." Amanda said facing the ground again. She had to tell him this, but feared another blow of his fist.

"I'm done talking tonight. I'm tired." Kyle said extinguishing the flames. "Tomorrow we'll go and talk to your friends."

Amanda waited until she was sure Kyle was asleep and then went outside to call Hannah. She hid behind a tree just in case he woke up.

Back at the motel, Hannah and the Winchesters were deep in conversation.

"Well Dean since you told me you're big secret, I guess I'll tell you mine." Hannah said sitting on one of the beds.

"Oh really, what's that?" Dean asked anxiously.

"I kinda already knew about you guys hunting." Hannah admitted.

"How?" Dean asked.

"I think I know." Sam said smiling. "Amanda told me at the bar.

"I read your minds." Hannah said to Dean.

"You can read minds?" Dean asked. "How did that happen?"

"Same way Sam has visions." Hannah said. "My mom died in a fire in my nursery."

"I already know about that too." Sam said smiling.

"Just tell me what Amanda didn't tell you." Hannah said annoyed.

"Basically everything. Your mom died when you were six months old, you can read minds, and something about you guys being adopted sisters." Sam said recalling his conversation with Amanda at the bar.

"Yeah, that's basically it." Hannah said leaning back against the bed.

"Damn you guys are exactly like us." Dean said astounded.

"I guess. Listen, I'm gonna find Amanda. You can help me if you want to. Then when I find her, you can tell her that you love her." Hannah said reading Sam's mind.

"That's getting creepy." Sam said blushing slightly.

"So where do we start looking?" Dean asked. "I mean we have no idea where that thing took her."

"She told me to start in the forest right back here where it took her away. She said she is in a cave in the forest." Hannah said slightly worried.

"For all we know she could be dead." Dean said sitting next to Sam on the other bed.

"She's not dead." Sam said rubbing his forehead.

"How do you know?" Dean asked his brother.

Sam let out a gasp of pain and fell back across the bed. He was having a vision. This was the most painful vision Sam had ever experienced.

"Sammy! Sammy, wake up." Dean said lifting his brother's head from the bed. "Sammy!"

"I'm okay." Sam said quietly.

"Hannah, get him a glass of water." Dean said sitting Sam up on the bed.

Hannah went to the bathroom and came back with a glass of water. "I'm guessing that was a vision?" She asked handing Sam the glass.

Sam nodded and took a long drink from the glass.

"What did you see?" Dean asked supporting Sam.

Sam took another drink before answering. "Amanda…I saw her with Kyle."

"I still don't know who that is, but okay." Dean said confused.

"Amanda's ex-boyfriend. He's the warewolf." Hannah said to Dean. "What else Sam?"

"Kyle bit Amanda. She was dying." Sam finished. "I'm not letting that happen."

"Neither are we Sammy." Dean said putting a hand on Sam's shoulder.

"We need to hurry though, Amanda said wait till morning to start looking, but I don't want to listen to her right now." Hannah said sitting back down.

"We should split up so we can search faster." Dean said. "But we'll need to exchange phone numbers just in case one of us runs across Kyle and needs help, or if one of us finds her first."

"That's a good idea." Hannah said. "Mine and Amanda's are on the phone." She added handing her phone to Dean.

"I'll give you both of ours." Dean said taking out his phone to record the numbers. Sam did the same.

"Great." Hannah said taking back her phone. "Now, all we need to…" Hannah's phone began to ring.

Hannah looked from Sam to Dean before answering the phone. "Hello?"

Dean brought his phone to his ear and said, "Just making sure this was your real number."

Hannah closed her phone and shook her head laughing. "why would I give you a number that isn't mine?"

Dean shrugged as Hannah's phone rang again. Hannah looked at Sam as if to say are you calling me now?

"Hey, it's not me." Sam defended himself.

Hannah answered her phone and heard a familiar voice on the other end.

"Hey there Hannah." Amanda said with a shaky voice. She was still crying because of how hard Kyle hit her.

"Amanda! How are you, you don't sound okay." Hannah asked worried.

"I'm fine, Kyle just hit me that's all. Are you guys alright?" Amanda asked in a whisper.

"Yeah we're good, but did you say he hit you?" Hannah asked more worried.

"Yeah, but I'm fine. Just a bloody lip. Listen, I need to talk to Sam." Amanda said taking deep breaths to try and sound like nothing was wrong.

"Sure hold on." Hannah said. "She needs to talk to you." She said to Sam giving him the phone.

"Amanda?" Sam asked talking into the phone.

"Hi Sam." Amanda answered smiling to herself.

"How are you?" Sam asked slowly.

"I'm okay. Sam, you need to listen to me." Amanda said desperately.

"What is it?" Sam asked, but got no response. "Amanda?"

Sam heard a shriek on the other end and then a man's voice speak. "I'm guessing you're Sammy."

"Yes, and you…you're Kyle." Sam answered making Hannah and Dean frown.

"Yes that's right. Now, pay attention. I want to talk to you." Kyle said. Sam could hear that he was holding Amanda with one hand over her mouth. He could he Amanda struggle to get free.

"About what?" Sam asked focused on the noise Amanda was making.

"We'll talk when we meet. At the Caribou Café just two miles away from the motel you are at right now. Make sure all three of you come, but I only want to talk to you and Dean, Hannah stays far away from the conversation." Kyle explained.

"Will Amanda be with you?" Sam asked. Amanda had stopped moving.

"She'll be there, but also far from the conversation. I might even let you take her back for the time being. Just be at the Caribou Café, Sam at ten o'clock." Kyle said and hung up the phone.
