Ghost Hunters Weekend

Chapter ten

Unger was just about to bring the rock down to smash Sam's head in when he heard a terrified scream coming from a woman standing behind him who had witnessed the attack. Her scream tore his attention away from Sam and onto her. She backed away from him terrified as he slowly walked toward her. The others in the group scattered as Unger and the frightened woman started to back into them. The woman finally became trapped against the side of the cave and could go no further. She threw her hands up to cover her face as she began screaming as Unger continued toward her. He walked up to her and without a word began smashing her head in with the rock. Once she was down he continued beating her till her head and face were a bloody mess and not even recognizable as human. He then dropped the rock and collapsed next to her. The spirit inhabiting his body immediately left and after circling the group of terrified people as if looking for its next host once more disappeared back into the darkness of the cave.

One of the women in the group ran over to the phone and picked it up.

Dean's side

Dean saw the flashing light on the phone and picked it up. He had to hold the phone away from his ear as the woman screamed into it.

"Help us! Please you got to help us!"

"Try to calm down and tell me what's happening?" Dean's heart was pounding in his chest, where was Sam, why wasn't he at the other end of the phone?

"That thing is killing all of us!"

"What happened?" Dean wasn't sure he really wanted to know. Had Sam been hurt….or worse?

"Steve…..Steve Unger …. He went nuts! He hit that tall dark haired boy then attacked Ellen …. That thing is going to kill us all!"

"Are they injured or are they….." Dean couldn't get the word dead out of his mouth, saying it would somehow seem to make it so.

"Ellen's skull is busted wide open!…..She's dead….her brains are everywhere! The boy….." The woman looked in Sam's direction. "I can't tell….. He's bleeding pretty bad but …. I can't tell."

"You need to go check him." Dean tried to keep his voice calm; he knew if the woman sensed his anxiety it would just feed her fear.

"No! I can't!" The woman started to cry; she was scared to death and couldn't make herself move.

"You must, he might need your help."

The woman shakily put the phone down then slowly walked over to Sam while she kept her eyes on the back of the cave expecting to see the grey mist appear. She knelt down next to him and put her hand on his shoulder, she then gave him a gentle shake.

"Hey…..hey you got to wake up." She said when she realized he was still breathing. Her only response was a soft moan. She quickly went back to the phone. "He's alive, but hurt."

Dean shut his eyes and let out the breath he didn't even realized he had been holding. At least Sam was alive, but he had no way of knowing how badly hurt he was.

"Is he conscious?"

"No….but he's moaning and moving a little."

"Can you tell how bad his injuries are?"

"He's bleeding pretty badly from a head wound and it looks like his arms are pretty cut up."

"Okay…… Look I know this is easy to say because I'm not over there, but you need to stay as calm as possible, we're working as hard as we can to get to you." Dean knew that wasn't entirely true, most of the people in his group were now concentrating their efforts on digging their way out of the prison rather then trying to free the people trapped in the dungeon below. He also knew that his brother had told him that the air was running out and he knew that a bunch of panicky people would use it up a lot faster then people trying to stay relatively calm.

"What can we do? How can we stop this thing from coming back?"

Dean knew without the gun and holy water there was nothing they could do. Even if Sam had the items on him he would have to be awake in order to recite the exorcism prayer or it wouldn't work.

He didn't know what to tell the girl, there had already been three suicides and a murder, and only she and a few others were still alive.

"What you need to do is take care of the injured man; he can help you if you can wake him up." Dean hoped that was true, even though Sam didn't have his gun or the holy water he could at least recite the prayer, maybe it would at least slow the spirit down before it hurt anyone else. He knew the prayer wouldn't destroy it but if the spirit could be slowed down he'd at least have a chance to reach them before it killed them all.
