Ice Princess
Chapter twenty one
Maddie kicked Sam in the ribs to make sure he was really unconscious. When he didn't move she went to the shed and returned with a large sled used to haul firewood to the house, some rope, and an ax. She then rolled Sam's body onto the sled and tied his hands and feet. When she was finished she stood up and looked down at him.
"You want to find out what happened to my daughter? Well I'm going to take you out and show you." She then tossed the ax on top of Sam's chest and began pulling the sled out onto the ice. She figured once she got rid of this one she'd go back and take care of his partner.
The basement
Dean moaned softly as he slowly woke up. He gingerly touched the back of his head then looked down at his bloody hand. At first he couldn't remember what had happened or even where he was. But the first thing he thought of was his brother.
"Sammy?" He called out as he slowly stood up. "Sammy you here?" He began looking around the basement praying he wasn't going to find his brother's body lying in a pool of blood. He tried to remember what had happened. He remembered going into the basement and seeing the pictures and that was about it. From the way the back of his head was pounding he figured he must have gotten hit from behind, but by who? And where were Sam and Maddie? Had whoever hit him also attacked them? Were they lying hurt somewhere or even worse? Dean took out his gun and went upstairs. He searched the entire house with no luck. He then looked out a window on the second floor and could see someone pulling a sled out onto the frozen lake. He quickly hurried downstairs and ran outside.
He stood at the edge of the lake and could now tell it was Maddie who was out on the ice. He watched as she stopped in the middle of the lake and began chopping at the ice next to the sled with an ax. What the hell was she doing he wondered? He squinted his eyes trying to see what she had on the sled but he couldn't tell.
"Maddie! Maddie get off the ice!" He shouted out to her. "It's not safe out there!"
She looked at him for a few seconds but said nothing as she turned away and continued chopping at the ice.
"Maddie my partner and I came out here to talk to you. We don't think Kevin killed Melody. We think it was someone else and that they might come out here looking for you. We wanted to warn you, but then someone knocked me out in your basement and now my partner's missing. Did you see him?"
Maddie ignored him as she stood back and looked at the hole she had made. It was then Dean could make out Sam's green jacket and shaggy brown hair on the sled. An icy cold chill went through him and his heart started pounding as he pulled out his gun and started out onto the ice.
"Get away from him Maddie!" Dean shouted as he pointed the gun toward her.
"Your partner is no better then my daughter. They are both sinners in the eyes of God. He needs to die just like my daughter did, so that their souls can be saved."
"Back away from him Maddie!" Dean warned her again.
"Only death will save your partner's soul as death saved my daughter's"
"Maddie talk to me…." Dean slowly inched closer to her. If he could just get her talking he might be able to distract her long enough to stop her. "Tell me about your daughter…tell me how you saved her."
"She came home that night full of booze; I could smell it on her, just like I could smell the men on her. We met here, here on the ice. She told me she was going to have his baby… a baby born from sin. I had to stop her; I had to kill her in order to save her. I knocked her out….just like I did your partner… then I pushed her into the water. The water washed her sins away and she was saved."
"Maddie you did what you thought was right. So now do what is right….step away from my partner."
"I found him in her bedroom. He was looking for her….He was looking to sin with her."
"No Maddie he wasn't looking for her, he was looking for you. We thought you were hurt." Dean kept the gun leveled at her. "Now…I need you to step away from him. I'm not going to hurt you…I just need you to back away."
Instead of backing up Maddie leaned down and picked up Sam's gun which she then pointed at his head.
"Drop your gun or your partner dies still burdened by his sin."
