Alyssa was in the bathroom as I talked to Dean on the phone.
"Find anything?" He asked.
"No, nothing. Everyone just happened to come down sick slipping into a coma. Kids and adults alike."
"What are we going to do?" He all the sudden questioned.
"What do you mean?" I asked knowing exactly what he meant.
I thought about bringing her to Bobby's again but I knew she would then bring up too many questions that I couldn't answer. I knew I couldn't just keep her locked in the room all day or that would raise questions too. I stayed behind as Dean went out just to watch over and protect her.
"What are you going to do with the kid?"
I looked at the bathroom door.
"She's going to stay I'm going to stay with her though."
"You think that's safe?"
"No, but it's all we got without her raising too many questions."
"Alright, well I'll see what I can find out here. You take care of her Sammy."
I shook my head as the bathroom door opened.
"Like I wouldn't. Call me when you find something."
"Yeah. Bye."
"Bye."
We both hung up as she came out in her pajamas.
"Ready for bed little moose?" I asked standing up.
"Yes."
"Ok, come on."
She climbed into the bed by herself then I came over tucking her in while she clutched her toy. I kissed her on the forehead before turning off the light. She was never scared of the dark. She might have her nightmares but she was never scared of darkness.
"Good night Alyssa."
"Good night daddy." She mumbled.
I went back to my laptop researching as she slowly went to sleep only her small rhythmic breathing filling the air. It was eleven when my phone rang. I quickly answered it then left the room so I didn't wake her up.
"What did you find?" I asked looking around the dark parking lot.
"We have to get Alyssa out of town now." He said and I could hear him driving quickly on the other end.
"What why?"
"The adults were just to throw us off. It's really going for the kids. Dude, it's a Shtriga."
I straightened at that.
"How did you figure this out?"
"Some chick screamed and I ran in seeing the thing over her kid with her. I stopped it then it jumped out the window."
"Ok, get here and we'll…"
I didn't finish my sentence when a screamed filled the air coming from the door behind me. I dropped my phone running in quickly to see the Shtriga jumping out the window and Alyssa just lying in the bed with a mess of blankets. I ran over to her worry and fear quickly filling me.
"Alyssa. Alyssa!" I shouted shaking her.
She wouldn't wake and so many things were coursing through me. I promised I would protect her. I swore I would. Now she was attacked by the very things I hunted and was not waking up. She was still alive but was still hurt. It was all my fault.

Third Person POV
Dean jumped out of his car seeing the motel door wide up. He ran over stopping seeing Sam's phone on the ground. He picked it up going into the pitch black room.
"Sammy." He called.
Now he heard it. Dean turned on the lights to see Sam crying over Alyssa.
"Sam. What happened?" Dean quickly asked coming over.
"It got to her." Sam told him gritting his teeth. "I was outside and the Shtriga got to her."
"Crap. Well come on we have to get her to the hospital." He said going to go back to the car.
"We can't." Sam mumbled tears still running down his cheeks.
"What do you mean we can't?"
"The last Shtriga was at the hospital."
Dean ran a hand down his face remembering.
"What else can we do Sam? She's in a coma now."
"And it's my fault. If I had just stayed to protect her…"
"Sam there was nothing you could do." Dean tried to convince him as his shoulders drooped.
"I could have tried. She was right here and I wasn't there to protect her."
Dean put a hand on Sam's shoulder. Finally he looked at him.
"That just means you have to save her now. As much as I don't want to we have to take her to the hospital. They will keep her stable while we hunt this damn thing down."
Sam nodded as his eyes drifted back to his daughter. Dean was actually trying hard not to cry as he watched. This was his family and right now it was in danger and hurt. He had to make it right as well. Sam stood up then lifted Alyssa up.
"Let's go." Sam muttered.
As a little side note, if any one would like to see a certain scenario happen with Alyssa with Sam and/or Dean tell me and I will see what I can do. I will do some between the ages of six and sixteen. Thank you for the lovely reviews, follows, and favorites!
