Chapter 21

We pulled up outside Josie's house, the lights were on and movement could be seen through the drawn curtains

"change of Plan" Dean said

"Guess we're all staying here, we'll go round back, Carmen, Sammy you guys knock on the front, If she tries to escape, we'll stop her" Dean said

We got out the car and I tucked my silver blade into my boot then Dean and I walked round the back and Sam and Carmen knocked on the front door.

Dean and I hid in a bush in the back garden, I could suddenly hear things braking and saw what looked like Sam being thrown into a wall, I heard yelling and saw Carmen being thrown back. suddenly the back door opened. I pulled the blade from my boot, and we stood up

"more of you" Josie hissed

Her face screwed up with anger and she stared at me

"you the one who killed my brother" she hissed at me

"no I am!" Dean corrected her, stepping infront of me slightly, taking her focus from me

She ran towards him, several sharp teeth breaking through her gums. Nails growing from her boney fingers As she jumped towards him I ran in to help.

We fought with her, she had managed to throw Both Dean's silver blade and mine away, meters from where we were. I flew backwards, knocking into Sam and Carmen just as they were headed out. We all landed on a heap on the floor. I noticed my blade on the floor and began to reach for it. I took it firmly in my grip

As I looked up I saw Dean being thrown into a tree, she grabbed him as he was about to stand and him pinned, her hands around his throat. Choking him. I panicked as I saw him gasping for air.

"Hey!" I shouted

She jumped at my voice and turned to look at me. She dropped Dean, he slumped to the ground on his hands and knees trying to breath normally again, she ran towards me, ready to attack, her long thin fingers slashed for me, I ducked but her long nails scraped my back, digging in and tearing my shirt and into my flesh. I screamed in Pain but managed to throw her back as I stood up pushing her off with my shoulder. And I brought the blade up and drove it into her chest. Piecing her heart. A howl filled the nights air as she screamed before falling to the ground in a heap.

I looked over at Sam and Carmen, he had blood running from his head, and from the corner of his mouth, Carmen was clutching her wrist

"you ok?" I asked quickly

Carmen looked at Sam and nodded

I then turned and ran for Dean who still was on all fours by the tree, trying to catch his breath

"Dean, you ok?" I asked

he nodded then noticed blood pouring from my shoulder

"What about you?" He asked, standing up and pulling me with him

"hurts like hell, but otherwise fine" I said

He brushed the loose strands of hair out of my eyes and looked deeply into them. After a few seconds of staring into each others eyes, He wrapped one arm around my waist, the other hand grabbed the back of my head and kissed me passionately.

Sam and Dean buried the body while Carmen and I walked back to the impala

"just a sprain" she said, when I asked her about her wrist

I sat on the edge of the trunk as she pulled my top up and cleaned my wound, then placed a dressing over it

"it looks pretty bad, we'll need to keep an eye on it" she said as she pulled my top slowly down

"Thanks" I said

Just then the guys appeared from the darkness

Dean wrapped his arm around my shoulder, but quickly moved back when he saw me flinch in pain.

I grabbed the arm he was going to wrap over my shoulders and placed it around my waist

"doesn't hurt if you hold me like this" I said

He smiled and pulled me close.

Sam was holding Carmen's wrist gently and examining it

"It's ok Sam" she told him

"you guys hungry?" She asked

"hell Yeah" Dean answered

He took his jacket off and placed it over my shoulders, I slipped my arms through then hugged myself against his body

"Shall we go to the diner, get some food" she suggested

I was feeling alittle ill, but agreed. We hopped into the car and drove off back to the diner.

"Becoming Regulars are we?" the waitress asked

Carmen smiled

"just while we're in town" she answered

I snuggled into Dean's chest, suddenly feeling quite nauseous

"what can I get you then?" She asked

As the others reeled off their order the sound of the diner was ringing through my ears making my head pound, the smell of the food, making my stomach churn

"what about you dear?" she asked

"Just water thanks" I mumbled out

She smiled softly, then walked away

"You ok Beth?" Dean asked looking down at me worried

"Just feel alittle sick" I lied

I didn't want him to know how sick I really felt.

The food arrived, I sat back, allowing Dean both arms to eat with, I grabbed my glass and took a tiny sip, but continued to hold the glass under my nose, hoping the freshness of the water would drown out the smell of the surrounding food. I didn't seem to help.

Dean finished his meal and pushed the plate away

"you look very green, you sure your ok?" he asked

I looked up, I noticed all three of them staring at me now

My shoulder began to burn

"maybe I just need fresh air" I said

I stood up to walk outside, as soon as I was on my feet, they felt weak, unable to hold me up, my head began swimming and the room began spinning as I collapsed to the floor.
