Chapter 10

"I'm sorry I lied to you. There are no horses. I couldn't think of any other way to get you here." Rachel's hand fell from his. She took a step back. Nick followed trying to reach for her hand.

"Rachel please listen. I never wanted to hurt you. Sure I took you on an impulse but I love you."

"Do you say that to all the girls you kidnap?" Nick's eyes shot up to hers.

"No, Rachel, I didn't kidnap you. I had... I wanted..." Rachel rolled her eyes.

"No, Rachel, I didn't kidnap you. I just lied and took you to the ocean. You say that you care about me. You say that you love me. How could I be so stupid to think... It doesn't matter now. I'm sorry, Nick, but I'm leaving." Rachel said as she turned away from him, but before she could walk away with her head held high, he grabbed her wrist.

"Rachel..." He said as his voice changed it sounded demonic which scared the crap out of Rachel. She tried to yank her arm away but Nick held on.

"I don't want to hurt you, but if you won't come with me I'll have no choice." Nick picked her up and flung her over his shoulder walking down the beach.

"If he comes after you just run okay. We've never faced this kind of creature before."

"Okay."

"Remember, we're only holding him off long enough for that sea mother gets here." Dean said as they cautiously walked on the sand.

"Okay guys, I get it." Silence encompassed the friends while they followed the footprints in the sand. Jessica glanced around looking for her friend and not paying attention to her surroundings when she tripped over something... basically nothing... and fell headfirst into Dean, causing him to fall into Sam, who fell into Cas, who fell into the sand headfirst.

The three all quickly glanced up trying to see what Jessica was looking at. They were all covered in sand so Jessica laughed at them all.

"You guys have sand in your hair." Sam looked over at Dean and laughed as well . The older brother threw some sand in his general direction but Sam moved out of the way just in time to see Cas get hit in the face. The look on the warrior of the Lord's face was less than pleasant.

"Okay enough you toddler. Let's go find Rachel!" Jessica grabbed Cas' hand and they ran off. Sam and Dean were still lying in the sand.

"It's all over me! I hate sand, and she called me a toddler again, Sammy!" Sam pulled his brother from the ground wiping off his jacket before taking off after the other two.

"Well, being called a toddler is fitting, seeing how you act like one."

Literally as soon as the brothers caught up with their favorite angel and Jess, she ran off over toward a figure in the distance, Rachel. She fell into the sand grabbing her friend in a hug. Rachel immediately pushed her away.

"Jess, you have to run. He's gonna be back soon. He'll hurt you." Sam leaned down towards Rachel, but she flinched back into Jessica's arms.

"Ray-Ray this is Sam. That's Dean, and that's Cas. They're good people. They're gonna get you away from Nick, but we gotta go now before he gets back.

"Well, you're to late for that." All five of them turned to toward the voice. Nick's face looked distorted kind of like a horse. The gang pulled out their water guns. They looked ridiculous but... yeah there's nothing that could make them look less ridiculous.

They shot at him with freshwater keeping Nick away from Rachel. Nick in turn sent wave after wave of saltwater at them.

"You okay Rach?"

"Yeah Jess, just get me outta here."

Castiel's water pistol ran out of water giving Nick the upper hand. He pushed on Cas' chest sending him 20 feet away. Sam lunged at Nick, but before he reached him he flew back landing some 15 feet away.

Dean pulled out his gun and fired a few rounds which made Nick angrier. He grabbed Dean by the shirt collar and threw him into the ocean.

Sam yelled for Jess to run as Nick sauntered toward her and Rachel.

"So yeah dude, we should like maybe run." Rachel's grip loosened from Jessica's.

"What if I talk to him? What if I can make him see?" Jessica turned around facing away from the Nucklevee.

"Rach, that's not Nick. Okay! That's a monster. We gotta run. Now!"

Rachel's eyes flashed in alarm. Jessica spun around before meeting the Sandy ground. The wind was knocked out of her body. She looked up to see Nick holding Rachel off the ground by her neck.

"Nick let go. We can talk about this."

"I loved you Rachel, but you don't... There's nothing to talk about."

Before Jessica could do anything Nick slammed Rachel into the ground. When Jessica turned her head all she could see were her friends lifeless eyes. A bright light filled the air.

"Nick!"

"Mother?"

Sam and Dean raised their forgotten water guns. Cas stood by Jessica.

"Come now. You've done enough, my son." The Mither and Nuckelavee left, the bright light went away, but Rachel still laid there. In the sand, dead. Cas leaned down.

"If there was anything I could do... I"

Jessica took a deep breath and sagged into Cas crying into his trench coat. Sam and Dean dropped their guns and joined the angel and their friend.
