Chapter Song- Taking Over Me by Evanescence just because Evie is oh so slowly being taken over by Dean…well she cant stop thinking about him lol

Evie sat cross legged on the other side of the table to Dean Winchester quietly supping on her black coffee. She chewed her mint fresh gum slowly. They had driven back to the US quickly and were now sat in a road side diner after the brothers had scoured the journal for any clues of where the in-famous John Winchester had disappeared to. She looked at Dean wondering if there had been any cases in the papers, he had circled small sections of interest in the local papers and had now reached the state wide papers they were mainly pictures from what she could see. She couldn't help but sigh and look at the empty plates laid out in front of them. It was always slightly awkward when it was just her and Dean, whenever Sam was there it was fine but her and him in the same room. There was just something that…made if awkward, not just on her part but also on his. Either both of them or just one found a way to distract themselves from the other one. There was just something after La Llorona that had clicked between them, sometimes Evie wanted to run into arms and cry, other times she wanted to shoot him with his own sawn off and then rest of the time she wanted to rip his shirt off and…

Evie shook her head and looked at the black mass that had accumulated at the bottom of her mug, "cheap shit" she said and placed the mug back on the table just as the blonde waitress in short shorts walked past. Dean looked at Evie quickly then carried on reading the paper.

"Can I get you anything else?" the waitress said looking at Dean then casting a glance at Evie, he looked up from the papers and smiled that good old Winchester charm at her.

Sam's voice came from behind them and he sat down in the spare seat next to Evie, "Just the check please."

"Okay" she said as she walked off back towards the kitchen, Evie popped her gum loudly as Dean's eyes followed her ass.

Sam picked up on the fact that she wasn't happy and gave her a 'its just him' look, she rolled her eyes and picked up a paper as she pretended to read it.

Dean's eyes still followed the woman and he said to Sam, "You know Sam, we're allowed to have fun once in a while," he pointed to the waitress causing him to turn around, he always forgot that Sam's girlfriend died only a matter of weeks ago, "That's fun"

Sam turned back around and faced his brother, before he could say anything Evie tossed the paper back on to the table and said, "Women aren't pieces of meat you buy from a butcher you know," She looked at him critically.

He looked at her confused, "I know anyway when you look this good you don't need to buy, they just fall at your feet"

"Often in sobs of tears running away from a monster…then they see your face and run back to the monster" She told him carefully adding a smile on to the end of the insult.

Dean's face turned hard and he was about to retort until Sam pushed the paper in his face.

"Here, take a look at this, I think I got one. Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin. Last week Sophie Carlton, 18, walks into the lake, doesn't walk out. Authorities dragged the water—Nothing. Sophie Carlton is the third Lake Manitoc drowning this year. None of the other bodies were found either. They had a funeral two days ago," Sam told him, he had noticed the article on the page that Evie had been reading.

"A funeral?" Dean asked taking the paper away from him and reading it himself, "They buried an empty coffin…guess that's for closure or whatever…"

"Closure? What closure? People don't just disappear, Dean. Other people just stop looking for them" Sam said slightly stressed.

"Something you want to say to me?" his brother asked him and Evie could sense an argument brewing, something Sam had really wanted to avoid.

"The trail for Dad, it's getting colder every day" he said staring at the table, his jaw set in place.

Dean leaned back in his chair and looked at Evie who still chewed her gum and shrugged, "Exactly, so what are we supposed to do?"

Sam looked up almost pleading, "I don't know. Something, anything."

The other man lost it, he was fed up of this conversation nearly every other day, "You know what? I'm sick of this attitude. You don't think I wanna find dad as much as you do?"

Evie got up and walked off towards the bathroom, something she couldn't deal with was domestic disputes, she'd had more than her fair share of them back home. Sam and Dean often had them when it came to their Dad.


Dean watched her go as Sam struggled for a reply. He assessed her in his own head, jeans, white shirt with her water proof jacket left carelessly on the back of her chair, She has a lot of work to do before she's a hunter…

"Yeah I know you do its just-" Sam was cut off before he could finish.

"I'm the one that's been with him every single day for the past two years, while you've been off to college going to pep rallies. We will find dad, but until then, we're gonna kill everything bad between here and there. Okay?" he said looking at him and feeling slightly bad for losing it in the middle of a diner.

Sam rolled his eyes and looked back, Evie came back from the toilets and sat down, the waitress walked by again distracting Dean from the argument.

"Alright, Lake Manitoc" Sam said and Evie nodded, the other guy was still looking at the waitress though, "Hey!"

"Huh?" Dean said to Sam as he brought him out of the trance.

"How far?" he asked just as they were given the bill.

"About a day's drive by the looks of it" Evie said as she looked at the article.


A couple of hours later after a very silent drive with only the sound of Dean's favorite mix tape blaring through the impala they arrived at Lake Manitoc or more specifically the place where Sophie Carlton lived and the place where she died was only a matter a few minutes walk.

Dean pulled up outside the log cabin nestled into the forest where she had lived, the family was still there and that's why they'd come straight here. He turned the engine off and exited his beloved car. He heard to car doors close behind him, Sam and Evie had also got out.

"This looks…secluded" Evie said as she looked up at the cabin and the surrounding area.

"Really? Never would have guessed" Dean said sarcastically, he hadn't forgiven her for her earlier comment.

"I meant the more secluded it is the less chance anyone could have seen what actually happened" she replied calmly.

This caught him off guard, he often forgot she could pick up on things like she'd been doing this for a while, "Well…yeah…that's a problem"

Sam chuckled silently to himself, seeing his brother speechless was always something he loved to see, "Come on" he said and he started to walk up to the cabin door.

Dean held his arm out so it hit him across the chest blocking him, "I'm gonna do the talking"

"Okay" Sam held his hands up like a suspect often does to show that they aren't a threat and Dean lead the three of them up to the door of the cabin, he knocked on the door three times.

A man younger than any of them opened the door, he had dark hair and brown eyes, it was clear he'd been crying, he looked up at them.

"Will Carlton?" Dean asked in his member of authority voice.

"Yeah that's right" Will said.

Dean pulled out a fake badge, "I'm Agent Ford and this is Agent Hamill" Sam waved and he carried on, "And this is Agent Bailey" Evie gave a tight smile in greeting, "We're with the U.S wildlife service, We'd like to talk about what happened to Sophie"

"Oh…I guess I should show you the lake too" Will guessed.

"If you could, though you only need to show us the place where she entered the water, we can take it from there" Evie said kindly, she didn't want him to get worked up by it.

"Okay, I'll just grab my coat" He said as he closed the door and went to get his coat, this left them out on the porch.

Dean turned to Evie, "What don't you get about I'm gonna do the talking?"

"Nothing…just it'd look weird if only you spoke" she told him.

"Dean, stay focused" Sam told him as the door opened again and Will showed them to the lake.


Will took them out by the lake, it wasn't that far away from the house, it was quite peaceful when you looked at it. The water was still, there was a jetty that went out about twenty feet in to the middle of the lake. There were small shack like building that presumably held boats and other things that people used on the body of water. Then there was a man sat on a bench that was placed on the land end of the jetty. Sam guessed it was Sophie's and Will's Dad.

Evie asked carefully knowing how a question worded the wrong way could send someone into floods of tears, "So, where did she drown?"

"At this end of the lake, she was about a hundred yards out" Will told them then added, "That's where she got dragged down."

"Are you sure she didn't just drown?" Dean asked him.

The boy scoffed, "Yeah, no way she could have drowned, she was a varsity swimmer. She practically grew up in that lake, she was as safe out there as she was in her own bathtub."

Sam joined in with the interrogation, playing the part of government official, "So no splashing? No signs of distress?"

"No that's what I'm telling you!" Will was insistent in the fact something had just dragged his sister down and she hadn't seen it coming.

"See any shadows beneath in the water? Maybe something dark breach the surface?" he asked.

He shook his head, "No. Again she was really far out"

Dean took over again, "you ever see any strange tracks by the shore line?"

"No, never. Why? What do you thinks out there?" Will questioned.

"We'll let you know as soon as we figure that out" the older brother said and he started to walk back to the car.

Sam and Evie on the other hand stayed where they were and looked over to the middle aged man sat alone on the bench.

"What about your father? Can we talk to him?" Sam asked Will.

He turned and looked at his father, a concerned look crossed his face, "Look…if you don't mind. He didn't see anything and he's been through a lot you know?"

"Yeah" Evie answered, "We understand, thanks for your time"

They both followed Dean back to the car.
