Chapter 29 Means to an end
The two friends were out matched by the werewolves and were barley able to stay on their feet. Breathing hard and barley able to see straight, Jada managed to dodge the werewolve's latest attempt to kill her. Akina was trying to hold her own, but wasn't doing so well.
"I...think that...we...might be in...trouble." Jada said trying to catch her breath. Her and Akina were once again standing back to back. "We...need to think...of a better plan."
"I...know that." The two did manage to kill one of them, but they were more organizied that they thought. The remaining three were prepairing to attack again. "We need to think of something now!" She looked back at Jada.
"I think I have an idea. Just follow my lead." Akina nodded and waited. She didn't realize what her friend was planning until it was too late. Jada ran and took the wolves attation off Akina. All three ran after her, fogetting all about Akina.
"What the hell are you thinking!?" Akina yelled as she took off after Jada and the werewolves. She pulled out her elbow blades and ran as fast as she could. That's when she noticed that there were only two wolves chaseing her friend. Akina stopped and looked around. "I know that you're here. Stop hiding and come out." She turned to see one of the werewolves emerge from the bushes. "What? Didn't think I can count or something?" The thing growled at her and charged. She braced herself for the impact that this wolf would make and when it hit her, it sent her crashing to the ground with such force that she lost her breath. It clawed and snarled, trying to get at her, but she managed to keep it's mouth just out of striking distance. 'Not good! So not good!' She thought as she wrestled with it. It sliced at her shoulder and managed to get her face with it's claws. Blood was flowing down her face and she was fighting just to stay awake. "JADA!" It was the only thing she could do. Call to her friend in hopes that she would be able to help. "HELP!!!!"
"She can not help you." The werewolf backed off the minute Akina heard that voice. She lifted her head to see the demon. He was just standing there, smiling at her. Akina looked around and saw Jada laying at his feet. She saw that her chest was rising and falling so she was alive.
"So it was you." The demon nodded. "I knew it. And that man?"
"He was no one important. Not that he matters now anyways. I got what I wanted so he's no longer needed. Now get some sleep. You're both going to need every ounce of your energy for what I have planned for you." With that last comment, Akina lost her battle to stay awake and she fell into a welcomed world of darkness.
Sam and Dean
"It's been three days and nothing. You don't think that they're..." Sam started asking his brother, but the look he got from Dean shut him up.
"They're fine. I know they are." Dean was trying to convince himself of that, but he knew deep down that something was wrong with the girls. He was drumming along to Metallica with Sam watching his every movement. "What is it Sam?"
"If they are fine, why haven't they called? I mean didn't they both sware that they would call and let us know they're safe?" Dean nodded at his baby brothers question. "I think that we shoud go look for them."
"We don't even know where they went. I mean, where would we even start?" Sam took out his laptop and began searching for something that Dean couldn't see. "What are you looking for?"
"They said they were going after werewolves, right?" Dean nodded. "Well, all we have to do is find something that fit's a werewolf's hunting pattern. That would be a pretty good place to start if you ask me."
"So stop talking and start looking. The sooner you find a pattern, the sooner we can find them." Sam started searching for anything that would lead the brother to the wolves the girls were hunting. Dean had checked them into a small motel and both planned on staying there until they found something that pointed them in Jada and Akina's directions. Sam looked through so many web sites and articals, he thought that his eyes were about to fall out.
"I don't get this. I've searched everthing I could find and got nothing. No strange deaths, no mutalations, nothing at all." Sam said as he rested his back against the wooden chair. Dean was sitting across from him, reading the paper. "We've got nothing Dean. No clue on where to begin looking for them."
"Not true Sammy. I think I found something." Sam leaned in to see exactly what Dean was looking at. "Here." He handed Sam the paper he had been reading. Sam began reading and smiled at his brother, who smiled back. "I think that's where we start." The two packed up and left that night, driving all the way to a run down town in Utah. They drove non-stop and reached their destanation in two days. They got out of the impala and were standing infront of a giant hospital.
"So this is the place?" Sam asked turning to Dean. He nodded and got out the news artical. Local man by the name of Earl Allen Parker, was arrested in connection with the deaths of four local women. All four of these women were brutally murdered by Mr. Parker in a two day period of time. Mr. Parked admitted to the killings saying that he was a werewolf and that during the first night of the full moon, he changed and killed the four. Mr. Parker is also being investigated in the disapperence of six other women. He is currently being help at the Paskadero State Mental Hospital. "You don't think that he killed them, do you?"
"I don't know Sam, but I do know that we need to talk to this Earl guy as soon as possible." Sam nodded and followed his brother into the hospital. They walked up to the front desk where they spoke to a male nurse. "Good afternoon. I'm Vince Cordts and this is my partner Jared Laskey. We're working the missing persons case that involves Mr. Parker. We believe that he is a patient here and we need to speak with him." Dean explained to the man as he and Sam flashed him their fake ID's. The male nurse looked at them and buzzed the brother's in.
"He'll be in the TV room now. It's down the hall, third door on the right. Take your time. That guy is a real piece of work." The nurse said as Sam and Dean entered the hall. The both thanked the man and continued down the hall. They passed along of mentally unstable people on their way to the TV room. The entered the room and saw that there was only one person there so they figured that he was Earl.
"Escuse me. Are you Earl Parker?" Dean asked as they approached the man. He looked up at them and nodded.
"What do you want?" Dean and Sam sat across from him. Earl was cuffed to the table he was sitting at so the chance of him getting up and leaving before the brothers asked him what they wanted was slim to none.
"We're working on your case involving the missing girls." Sam explained. Earl kept looking from Sam to Dean and Dean to Sam. "We know that you know something about them. It would really help you if you would just tell us where they are."
"I can't do that."
"And why is that?"
"Because they're all dead." Dean glanced over at Sam and signed.
"Look. I'm going to cut right to the chase here. We know that you seem to think that you're a werewolf and we believe you." Dean was loseing his patients. All he wanted to do was find Akina and Jada. He could care less if this man was sane or not.
"You believe me? I doubt that." Dean leaned forward.
"We know that you know where those missing girls are and we believe that two very good friends of our might be two of them. Now you can either tell us where they are or I can make you tell me. Take your pick." Sam looked at his brother. It's true that Dean was pissed and Sam couldn't blame him. He wanted to find them as soon as possible too, he just didn't think that threatining the crazy man was the way to go about it.
"I told you, friend or not, they're all dead. If you two persue this than you'll join them." Dean nodded and stood up. Sam glanced at him, but followed his lead. He turned to leave, but all Dean did was grab poor Earl by the throat and hit him as hard as he could.
"Dean!" Sam yelled without thinking. Dean didn't even flinch. He kept hitting Earl over and over. The strange thing is that it didn't even seem like anyone noticed or if they did, they didn't care because no one stopped him. "What are you doing man!?"
"He know's where they are and if he won't tell us on his own, I'll beat it out of him!"
"You can't do this! Stop it! I know that you're worried about them, but killing him isn't going to help us find them!" Sam was trying to calm his brother down, but it wasn't working. Dean was hell bent on finding the girls that were now family to him and if that ment killing Earl to find them, so be it. Dean hit him over and over again. Nothing Sam said or did could stop him.
"The woods!" Earl managed to get out as Dean hit him.
"What?" He asked not sure if he heard him right.
"Only three of them are still alive. They're in a small house in the woods just north of here." Dean looked over at Sam and smiled.
"Where at?"
"Take the main road for about a mile. After that take a right, drive for about three miles after that, take a left and then the second right. That's where you'll find the house and the remaining girls."
"Our two friends. Are they there? Names are Jada and Akina." Earl looked up at the Winchesters. "They are, aren't they?" Sam asked.
"If he didn't kill them already, then yes. They were the ones he wanted above all the others." Without asking another question, Dean dropped the bloody man and both boys ran out of the hospital and to the car. Dean followed the directions that Earl had giving them and sure enough, there was the house. More importantly, there was the civic. The brother's looked at each other and got out. They went to the trunk and armed themselves before going into the house. It was near dark when they got onto the porch. They tried looking throught the windows, but they were all boarded up. Neither saw or heard anything, so Sam carefully and slowly opened the front door as Dean watched his back. He pushed it open and both walked inside. The smell of rotting flesh hit them both hard and they had to hold back the breakfast they are that morning from comming back up. They searched the rooms and found no trace of the missing girls. The did happen to find two sleeping werewolves and killed them both before they had the chance to wake up and kill them. The only place left was the basement. The two cautiously walked down the steps and when they made it to the bottom is when they saw the three remaining women. The one they didn't know was already dead and from the look and smell, had been that way for a while.
"Dean." Sam whispered. Dean looked at him and he motioned to Jada and Akina, who were hanging by their wrists from the ceiling.
"Damn it!" Dean silently cursed as the two made there way over to them. "Akina? Look at me." Dean whispered as he softly patted her face. She let out a quiet moan and opened her eyes. "Evening." Dean said with a slight smile. She smiled back, but that faded soon after.
"Jada?" She whispered as Dean cut her down. "Is she alive?" Dean looked over and saw Sam cutting her down. Sam nodded at him. "Is she?"
"She's alive, yes. We have to get you two out of here and quick." Dean was about to pick her up, but was thrown against the wall. Same thing happened to Sam.
"He's back." Was the last thing Akina said before she past out again. Dean looked over at her and then at his brother. A shadow to his left caught his eye, but before he could turn, he was being raised into the air by some invisable force. He saw that the same thing was happening to Sam.
"So nice of you two to join us. It's been a long time." The man smiled at the Winchesters as they were tied up just as the girls had been. Jada and Akina were moved to a cage off to the side. "Come to save your little girlfriends huh? Afraid that's not going to happen the way you planned."
"Who the hell are you?" Dean spat at him. The man walked over to him and as soon as he was in the light, it was clear exactly who he was. "It's you, isn't it?"
"Oh Dean! You remember me! I'm flattered. Even after all this time, you still remember me." The demon said with a smile. Sam looked right into his eyes with such hatred that you could of killed someone with that feeling alone. The demon turned to Sam and smiled. "Nice to see you again too Sammy."
"Don't call me that."
"Oh! Now don't be so mean. Just because I killed your mother and your first lover is no reason to hate me." The demon said as he got right in Sam's face.
"Get the hell away from him!" Dean yelled. He was trying to get the demon's attation away from his little brother. The demon turned to Dean and smiled.
"What's the matter Dean? Think that I might just harm baby brother like I did your girlfriend and her baby.?" Dean's eyes went wide as the mentiong that this thing did something to his unborn child. It almost seemed as if the demon senced it. "Don't worry. They're both alive...for now."
"If you touch either of them again, I will tear you apart with my bare hands." Dean hissed at the demon that stood before him. This cause the demons smile to fade.
"I'm not planning on killing none of them yet. But how long that stays that way depends on you."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sam asked. He was afraid that his older brother might say something that could get them all killed by this thing. The demon turned to Sam and smiled even wider than before.
"You have something that I want Sammy boy. If you give it to me, I'll let them all live." Dean and Sam stared at the demon in shock. "Take your time and think about it. I wouldn't take too long though. I might just get hungry and feed on that little life that's snuggled inside her." The demon said as he pointed at Akina. This only pissed Dean off more and made him want to kill this thing more than ever.
"What do you want from me?"
"That power inside you. You give it to me and I'll let them go. Your brother and all"
"What happens to me?" The demon smiled at Sam's question and that was all the answer Sam needed. "I thought so."
"Don't even think about it! No way are you dying here!" Dean yelled at his brother. The demon just stood back and watched. "There has to be something else."
"Take whatever you want, just let them go." Sam said as he put his head down. The demon walked up to him and smiled more, if that's even possible.
"Sam, no! Don't do this! Leave him alone!!" Dean screamed, but it was no use. The demon was going to take what he wanted and there was nothing that anyone could do about it. "SAM!!"
"You ready Sammy?" The demon asked. Sam nodded and the screaming began. Not just from Sam, but from Dean as well.
"SAMMY!!!"
