Thanks a lot for the reviews.

Hunted

Chapter ten

"Dean!" Sam screamed again as he crawled over to the side of the cliff and looked down. He couldn't see his brother anywhere. "Dean!" He frantically called over and over for his brother. He wiped angrily at the tears that filled his eyes. Flipping out wasn't going to help Dean.

Near the bottom of the cliff

Dean could hear Sam calling out for him and wanted to answer him but the air had been knocked out of him when he hit the ground and he couldn't speak. He had been lucky, he had landed on top of the creature and it had broken his fall. But he knew he was in big trouble, the Wendigo was only dazed and would soon recover. More then likely since he had hurt it it would kill him outright and not drag him off to its lair to consume later. He finally managed to roll off of the creature and slowly made it to his feet. Other then being a little bruised and twisting his ankle when he landed he was surprised that he seemed fine. He looked up at the cliff and a feeling of hopelessness overtook him. It could take hours to make it back up the steep cliff to his brother. He knew he could make it to the car quicker then trying to climb the cliff, and then he could circle around and make his way back to Sam. If he could make it to the car he could get weapons plus a flare to kill the creature. He knew it took fire to kill a Wendigo and that's how they had killed it before, with a flare. He could hear the desperation in Sam's voice as he screamed his name. He tried to yell back to him to tell him he was okay but he was still out of breath and couldn't get anything to come out of his mouth. He looked up and could see that Sam was starting to climb down the side of the cliff; he knew his brother was in no shape to attempt a climb. He walked out to where he hoped Sam could see him. He took a couple of deep breaths trying to get his voice back then looked up at his brother.

"Sam!"

At first Sam wasn't sure if he was just hearing things or if his brother was really calling to him. How could it be Dean? He was probably dead or lying gravely injured at the bottom of the cliff. Maybe it was the Wendigo who was known to mimic voices. He continued to try to make his way down the cliff when he heard his name again. This time he stopped and looked down. He let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw Dean far below looking up at him.

"Dean!... Dean you okay?" As he looked down at his brother he suddenly lost his footing and slid down a few feet.

"Sam!" Dean felt his stomach lurch when he saw Sam slid, a few more feet and he could have lost his grip and fallen to his death. "Go back up Sam! I'm going to the car…I'll be back sooner then if I try to climb up the cliff. Just stay in the woods and hide…I'll find you when I get back." The thought of leaving his brother left a sour feeling in his stomach. If those men found Sam before he got back…. He couldn't think about that, he had no choice. Going to the car and bringing back weapons was their only hope. If he climbed up the cliff once he got there they still would be helpless. The only hope they had was if he could make it to the car and get back to Sam before the men did. He looked over to where the Wendigo had been lying hoping it had been badly hurt but it was gone. His heart started pounding in his chest when he saw that it was climbing back up the cliff…climbing back up to Sam.

"Sam it's coming back up! You got to get out of there!" He shouted up to Sam as he pointed at the creature that was easily making its way back up the cliff. He picked up some rocks and began throwing them at it. "Come on you son of a bitch turn around!...Come after me you bastard!"

The rocks had no affect on the thing. Dean knew there was absolutely nothing he could do but get to the car and bring back weapons.

"Sam go…get out of there! Find somewhere to hide! I'll be back!" It was the hardest thing he ever had to do to turn his back on his brother but he had no choice. He turned and ran in the direction he knew the car was in. His only hope was that he could get back to Sam in time, before either the men or the Wendigo reached him.
