Chapter 12: Wendigo (Part Six)

As we headed down the tunnel, Sam, Dean, and I took the lead while Haley and Ben supported Tommy. Suddenly we all hear growling.

"Looks like someone's home for supper," Dean muttered.

"We'll never outrun it," Haley pointed out.

Sam and Dean looked at each other and I could tell what they were thinking.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Dean asked Sam.

"Yeah, I think so," Sam answered.

"Not without me," I said stubbornly. There was no way I was gonna let him be a distraction without backup.

He looked at me for a minute with worried eyes before realizing he couldn't dissuade me. He nodded.

He turned to the siblings behind us. "All right, listen to me. Stay with Sam. He's gonna get you out of here."

"What are you and Emi gonna do?" she asked.

Dean just winked and started walking. I followed as he started yelling. "Chow time, you freaky bastard! Yeah, that's right, bring it on, baby, I taste good!"

"Hey, you want some white meat, bitch! I'm right here!" he continued to yell.

Dean continued yelling as we made our way through the mine both with our flare guns up and ready.

Then we hear Sam yelling and we run toward it.

We approach to see the wendigo advancing toward Sam as he shielded all of the siblings.

Dean raised his flare gun and yelled, "Hey!"

The wendigo turned and Dean shot it in the stomach. It screamed as it went up in flames. We waited until it was ash to approach Sam and the others.

"Not bad, huh?" Dean asked. I smiled as Sam grinned.

After we got out of the mine and told Ben and Haley the story we would tell the police we headed to the ranger's station.

Dean and I sat on the hood of the Impala while Sam and Ben talked to a cop and Haley watched the paramedics load her brother into the ambulance. Haley walked over to us.

"So I don't know how to thank you," Haley told us.

Dean smirked and Haley smiled. "Must you cheapen the moment?" she asked him.

"Yeah," he said, rolling his eyes.

I smiled. "It's ok, Haley. We were happy to help," I told her. A paramedic walked up to us.

"You riding with your brother?" they asked.

"Yeah," she answered.

She turned to Ben as the paramedic walked away. "Let's go."

Ben and Sam nodded to each other while Haley hugged us. "I hope you find your father," she told Sam and Dean. We shared one last smile before she wrapped her arm around her brother and they headed toward the ambulance. Sam sat down next to Dean and me.

"Man, I hate camping," Dean announced.

"Me too," Sam said.

"Me three," I agreed.

We all heard the ambulance drive away.

"Sam, you know we're gonna find Dad, right?" Dean asked.

"Yeah, I know. But in the meantime? I'm driving," Sam announced.

I smiled at that. Dean tossed Sam the keys with a sour look on his face. We all got into the car and Sam started the car. It felt nice to save people. And it would feel even better when we found John.

AN: Here's the end of Wendigo! *applause* Kay, so first part of Dead in the Water should be up soon. Hope you liked it!
