Chapter 10
Make Me Believe
Dean and Sam finally arrived at the old warehouse. Sam hated the fact that he was right when they arrived and it appeared that no one was around. They both knew that Kat was in there somewhere and so were the things that they were here to kill. Both excited the car as the took in the edifice with it's broken windows and the age that the abandonment of the building suggested. It was obvious that it hadn't been used for it's original purpose in years and it was just perfect for what the shape shifters were doing. Both boys looked at each other as the made their way to the trunk in order to grab two guns that would certainly do the trick to this suckers.
Dean- "I'll admit, you were right."
Sam- "That's a first, but I seriously wish that I hadn't been."
Dean- "Do you even think that she's still alive?" trying not to show the emotional doubt that was running through his mind.
Sam- "Don't go there. You know her as well as I do. I've even seen her kick your ass a few times and I've also never seen you so afraid of someone when you've done something that you know you shouldn't have. There's no way that they would kill her anyway. Your new friend needs the real Kat alive for her thoughts and what not."
Dean- "You seem to be hitting the right stop today so I guess I'll have to trust you. Any bad feelings yet psychic boy?"
Sam- "Would you stop calling me names? I'm not some sidekick or something. Jerk."
Dean- "Bitch." laughing and then both turned back to the seriousness of their current situation.
They were both eyeing the place neither really ready to go in but at the same time anxious to kill these things that had been playing with them and to find the other part of their family. In both of the Winchesters' minds, there was a doubt on if they really wanted to find Kat, although the both need, they really missed the real her, but what shape she would be in was what scared them both. Usually they only had to worry about themselves and now they may have her life in their hands or in one of theirs. Sam decided to break the silence in hopes of silencing his own doubts, already knowing that his brother would never actually admit what he was feeling emotionally.
Sam- "Creepy warehouse. Typical and us standing here watching it, not exactly the best we've done." trying to lighten the mood and at the same time to get started on this.
Dean- "So you're finally ready then? Let's shoot these things and then find our "damsel in distress" so to speak."
Sam- "So should I tell her that you called her that?" as they began to walk to the first opening that they saw with their guns drawn.
Dean- "Do and I won't be the only one surrounded by ice packs and going through a time of late nights without anything fun." as they entered the falling apart building.
Once Kat was fully satisfied with how she looked, she instructed Dean and Sam to go check on their prisoner. They had all heard the echoed voices, with their enlightened sense of hearing, the boys enter the building. Kat herself got a little more disheveled looking and began to place herself in a spot so that she could easily run into the boys making it look like an escape. She perfected the look by walking hunched slightly and limping. From what she could sense, they were still only at the opening which meant that she had to listen carefully to see exactly which ways they were going in the maze of endless hallways and numerous rooms with doors. Hopefully her partners would do the same and give the boys quite a surprise that would end in certain death for the Winchesters and their other ally.
Kat's luck seemed to be turning around. Although it took some time, and extreme pain, she eventually heard the successful sound of a click as the lock to the cuffs had finally been dismantled by the bobby pin. She stood up quickly and regretted as the dizziness seemed unrelenting. She tried to clear her head but it was impossible. Her breathing was heavy as the pain seized with every step and every movement that she made. When she reached the door she listened carefully and was relieved as much as possible, to hear nothing. She pulled with her good arm and finally the door opened and she could see her old room. A chill ran down her spine as she quickly pushed all the physical and mental pain away leaving only a little bit of emotional from what Dean had done and began to walk into the maze that was the warehouse. She knew that hopefully by now the boys would be here and she could have it out with Dean after some rest. The feeling of seeing Sam and Dean again gave her the will to actually get through this and she also was happy to know that Sam had known all along that it wasn't her. She had found that out from the anger of her impostor and the fact that Sam could tell would just work to her advantage against Dean.
She walked out into the hallway and slowly began to climb the stairs hoping it would lead her out into the real world again and certainly escape death. Hopefully she wasn't wrong.
