Laken
I drove down the road past some more abandon building as Layton talked to me over the phone.
"So I looked throughout past newspapers and I got nothing on this case so far. It may be just a psycho that kidnaps random people from time to time." Layton said. I saw a light in the warehouse flash. It did not look normal.
"Alright. Meet back at the motel by five. I am going to check out something at one of these warehouses then I will be heading back." I said.
"Alright. Be careful Lake." He said.
"You too." I said as I parked my car before opening the trunk to grab a gun and a flashlight. Better safe then sorry. I walked into the building and looked around before I felt like something was following me. I turned and saw a blue light before I passed out.
I awoke to the smell of bacon. I opened my eyes to see I was in a unfamiliar room. I got up and walked down the hallway following the smell. I noticed someone must have changed me into a AC/DC band shirt and shorts because I know I did not change into these clothes. I entered a kitchen in the maze of rooms to see Dean cooking breakfast and Layton already sitting down eating.
"Morning sleepyhead." Dean said as he hand me a plate. I took it still looking at the situation.
"Hey Layton, I think I am spacing out. Do you remember what happen after our phone call last night?" I asked as I sat across from him. He looked at me confused.
"We never talked to each other via phone last night. We hung out with Uncle Sammy last night while Dad and Cass went on a hunt." Layton said.
"I was driving my car last night though." I said.
"Must have been a dream, Lake. You still wanting the impala I see." Layton said focusing on his breakfast.
"She can wait to get the impala. Now you two have school in a bit." He said as if he was a normal dad who raised us. Sam walked in grabbing a plate.
"But I know I was driving the 'stang last night. I had her all freshly washed and I was getting mad about the dirt around the factories." I said.
"Lake, how much have you had to drink this morning?" Layton asked.
"I think you should stay home and rest. You obviously are losing it." Dean said. I ate my breakfast thinking about what was going on. Then I figured it out. Whatever happen involves the supernatural and it had to do with the missing person case. After breakfast, Layton went to school while I went to study for anything that grants wishes. Dean found me in the library looking up things.
"I do not think this is going to help with a hangover Lake." He said using Layton's nickname for me.
"I just want to be prepared in case of anything. Have you ever ran into a creature that grants wishes?" I asked.
"Djinn are the only thing but their wishes come with a price." He said.
"What type of price?" I asked.
"They typical feed on the victim and let them live in a fake life as they suck the life out of them." He said. I saw a boy about my age who looked like he was close to death's door behind him.
"Behind you!" I shouted thinking it was a ghost. He disappeared as Dean turned around.
"I don't see anything Lake." He said.
"He was behind you until you turned around." I said.
"You must be seeing things." He said before he gave me a hug. "I know it hasn't been the easiest couple of years with me and Sam gone a lot and losing Bobby who was like a grandpa to you, but we will figure this out. I promise." Then he left me there. I want to believe this was my life but then I though of Ben and Emma and figured they couldn't have been in this reality. I got up and started looking into missing person cases. I found the ones that Layton and I were looking into. I figured borrowing Dean's car would get me in trouble in this fake world but it was a fake world and the impala wasn't his. So I swiped the keys and got out of Kansas before either of them found out. I went to South Dakota to switch cars and kidnap my real baby who was still in great condition considering she had been ignored for so long. I got to the warehouse and walked around looking for some sign that I had been here in my world but it looked fake in a way. As if I had never been here. My phone went off but I ignored it. I tried to think of a way out but I did not know how to leave. My phone rang again and I decided to answer.
"Laken Deana Winchester! Where the hell is my car?!" Dean voiced yelled as if this was a reality.
"South Dakota. I broke down and ran off to Bobby's. I guess I was annoyed with life." I lied.
"I will be there in a bit. You better not have hurt her!" He said as if his car was in real danger from his daughter he never knew he had.
"Sorry Dad." I said before hanging up.
"Most people can never even realize it is fake." a voice said. I turned to see Cael.
"William Caelum." I said.
"You know Will is fine." he joked.
"Are you real or fake?" I asked.
"More real then anyone else. You called out to me Laken so I am here." He said.
"This is a djinn isn't it?" I asked.
"Yeah, I could feel you were hurt. I can't help you escape your mind only you can do that." He said. Then he disappeared. I turned to see Dean, Sam, and Layton.
"You won't leave me here alone sissy." Layton said.
"We can be family." Sam said.
"You can be a normal teen." Dean said. I thought of Cael. He was somewhere in my world waiting for me to come home and I had to come home on my own. I looked at my hand which held the gun I stole from the impala and I aimed and shot. I woke to see Layton in front of me working on getting me down. I saw something behind him.
"Behind you." I muttered. He moved and stabbed the creature. The creature died leaving us and two others alone.
"So much for a normal case." Layton joked as he got me down before helping the others. I passed out as Layton placed me in the passenger seat of the Mustang.
I awoke to Cael and Layton talking. They were keeping quiet but I made out some of the words like djinn and dad.
"You know I can kinda hear you two bobble heads." I muttered.
"Welcome back to the land of reality." Layton joked. "Let me guess you were a only child who ruled the world."
"We lived with Dad and went to normal school." I said.
"Weirder things have happen." He said.
"Layton how did you find me?" I asked.
"You left your phone in your car. I used GPS trackers to find your location and then I got a call from Cael warning me about a djinn in the area. Though I still do not know how he knew where we were or about the djinn." Layton said.
"I told him. He came to me when I called him in the other world." I said.
"I hate other worlds." Layton muttered.
"I called you after we talked." Cael told Layton.
"The sad thing is that it was a very nice dream. I swore the bacon was to die for." I joked.
"Who made it?" Layton asked.
"Dean. He kinda made us food before school which I skipped." I said.
"Anything else happen?" Layton asked trying to hold back a laugh.
"I stole his car and left it after I got my car back." I said not wanting to mention the hug to Layton. I rather not mention any interaction between me and the fake version of our father.
I was released and back home quickly. I was in my office when Jesse came in. He handed me a picture of Lacy standing at a train station in North Carolina.
"When was this taken?" I asked.
"Two days ago." Jesse said.
"Our spy tell you about this?" I asked.
"She said the meeting is at noon in two days time. Be there or else." Jesse told me as I looked at the photo.
"Layton is busy correct?" I asked.
"Henry and Layton went to Missouri to look into a possible vampire attack." Jesse said.
"Good. I will head out tonight and meet our spy in private." I said.
"All do respect, I should be there since I am her handler." Jesse said.
"Fine." I said as I looked at the door. Moira walked in having heard everything.
"I think you should bring back up in case the spy turns rogue and tries to harm you." She said.
"That is why I have you and Jesse backing me up. Cael is only a phone call away at all times so I should be fine." I said.
"Will you be okay to travel after the last case?" Moira asked. I got up and began to exit the office.
"Of course I am. I am Laken Woods. I can do anything I set my mind too." I said as I walked out of my office to do my checks.
Unknown
I walked into the room and dropped my bag. I had a miss call from my aunt and a message from Jesse. I decide to read Jesse's message first.
She will be there to meet you.
Short sweet and to the point like always. I called back my aunt.
"Where have you been?" She asked.
"I am in North Carolina looking into a case. I got in last night." I lied.
"Well make it quick. I need you back in Maryland by Friday to take care of the pest once and for all. I may have a location in the next few weeks." She said.
"I will be there in four days, Auntie." I said as I sat there looking at the time on the motel clock. It was late.
"Good see you in four days." She said before hanging up. I landed on the bed and fell asleep to the sound of cars passing the motel.
So it is June not May. I did a note saying I was updating in May instead of June once it was June. Woods Twins as two more chapters for this season. Who is unknown? Will the capture Lacy? Why is Layton and Henry gone? Who felt sorry for Laken? Who thought Laken was a idiot for stealing Dean's baby? When will the twins finally face off with London? All will be revealed (Sort of) in episode 14: The Sister. Which will be out next week.
