CHAPTER 39

Dean and Megan made their way across the parking lot to the room Megan usually shares with her sister. Megan pulled out her key and was just about to unlock the door when Dean reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Do you think we should, maybe, knock first?"

Megan looked at the door and nodded. Just as she raised her fist to knock they heard a sound come through the door. They both leaned closer to listen and heard a muffled 'oh God!' filter through. They pulled back quickly. Looking at each other, trying desperately to hold on laughter they stepped away from the door.

"Um...coffee?" Dean asked pointing back in the direction of her room.

"Yeah." Megan replied, turning and walking quickly back across the lot.

Half an hour later Sam emerged from the room with wet hair and buttoning his shirt. He stopped short when he saw Megan sitting cross legged on the hood of her Jeep and Dean leaning against the grill beside her, one arm draped over her knee. They were both holding coffee mugs.

"Damn 30 minutes. Guess I owe you ten bucks!" Megan said to Dean.

"I know my brother." Dean said holding out her hand. Megan slapped two five dollar bills in it. "So Sammy, ready for your walk of shame?"

Sam just rolled his eyes and walked past the pair with a huff.

Megan and Dean burst out laughing as they watched him go then turned to face Marnie, who was standing in the door. She ducked back inside quickly.

"So breakfast at the diner in 30?" Dean asked.

"See you there." Megan gave Dean a lingering kiss then followed her sister inside.

"So, you had a good night." Megan said looking at the state of the bed.

"Yeah." Marnie shrugged as she tried to untangle the bedding.

Megan grabbed some clean clothes from her case and started to change.

"Hey. Is that my box of condoms?" She asked.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. Sam only had two and we need a couple more."

"A...couple more? How many...exactly?"

"Three." Marnie said with a shrug.

"Three...five times!" Megan exclaimed.

"Yeah." Marnie grinned and giggled.

"Oh my god!" Megan crossed the room and grabbed her sisters hands. "What the hell is with these Winchester's and their stamina?"

"I know!"

"Well...How was it?" Megan asked.

"Let's just say, everything about Sam is...huge."

"Seriously though, five times, how are you even still walking?"

"Okay dude. I told Megan we'd meet her for breakfast in thirty, so, strip off the stank and get some fresh gear on. I don't know about you, but I'm starving."

Sam just rolled his eyes at his brother again.

"You know you're kinda grumpy for someone who just got laid."

"Yeah, well, I'm kinda tired I guess." Sam said with a shrug and a self satisfied smirk.

"Well, come on." Dean said, slapping Sam on the back. "You'll feel better with some food in you. Then we gotta take care of this hunt. You know, after that, well, we really don't have anywhere special we need to be in a hurry, so, we could stay longer, if you want."

"Hmmm, yeah, maybe." Sam said with a shrug. He disappeared into the bathroom, returning a few minutes later in clean clothes and they headed out to the diner.

Sam and Dean were already waiting in a booth by the time Megan and Marnie arrived. Sam stood to allow Marnie to sit beside him, while Dean just draped her arm across the back of the bench seat so Megan could slide in against her. After she gave Dean a quick kiss she whispered in Deans ear. Her eyes widened and she turned her head to grin at her brother. Sam didn't notice as he was studying the menu.

Their waitress appeared, poured coffees all around and took their orders. Once the waitress left to place their orders Sam turned to Dean.

"So Dean, Marnie and I were talking last night."

"Really Sam?" Dean said folding her hands together on the table and staring at her brother. "And when, pray tell, did you two manage to find time to talk?" She asked holding up five fingers and mouthing 'five times?'

Sam cleared his throat and squirmed uncomfortably in his seat.

"Anyway. Guess what brings them to town?"

"Road trip. Megan told me. See, we talked too." Dean shrugged and took a drink of her coffee, grimacing at the taste.

"Yes, But no. They are here to check out a 'haunted house'." Sam gave Dean a meaningful look.

Dean sat up in her seat and turned to look at Megan.

"What?"

"Well, Yeah. It's what we do. We're into urban legends and stuff like that. We find these stories about haunted houses and shit and go visit them and apparently there's one right here in town." Megan said excitedly.

"Look Megan, I really don't think you should be going to this house."

"Why? It's just a house?" Megan asked.

"Because it's not safe."

"How would you know? Besides it's just an urban legend!"

Dean sighed as she leaned her elbows on the table and ran her hands down her face.

"Okay. Remember how I told you Sam and I were in a 'specialised field of pest removal'?"

"Yeah." Megan replied.

"Well..." Dean shrugged and opened her hand palm up in a 'there you go' gesture.

"Well, what?" Megan asked as she copied the action.

Dean took a deep breath. She knew from experience that this is the part where the sisters called them crazy and left.

"Ghosts. We hunt ghosts." She said softly.

"Ghosts? Seriously?" Megan asked disbelieving.

"Yeah." Dean looked at Sam who looked just as worried as she felt.

"You're ghost hunters?" Marnie asked looking at Sam, who just nodded slightly, looking down and chewing on his lip. "Oh! Are you like those Ghostfacers guys on YouTube?"

"No!" The brothers replied in unison.

"So ghosts are real?" Megan asked.

"Yes, and vampires and werewolves." Dean began.

"And ghouls and shapeshifters and revenants." Sam finished. "They all exist and we hunt them."

"Why?" Megan asked.

Sam and Dean shared a look. Dean shrugged one shoulder.

"Our mother was killed when I was a baby and dad kinda made it his life's mission to rid the world of evil and we just got dragged along."

"Wow, that sucks." Megan said.

"Yeah it does but we save people." Dean said.

The waitress appeared and placed platefuls of food in front of the group, leaving them alone with their thoughts for a few moments.

"So you're going to kill this ghost?" Marnie asked.

"Yeah, we were going to go check the place out today." Sam replied.

"Can we come?" She asked.

"No." Dean replied. "It's too dangerous."

"Oh, come on. You can't stop us going to that house. What are you going to do? Tie us to our bed?" Megan glanced at her sister. "Although some of us might enjoy it." She said looking at her sisters wrist.

"Megan! Shut up!" Marnie pulled her hands under the table as her sister laughed.

"People have died in this house and we can't guarantee your safety. We'd hate for something to happen to you." Sam said.

"Oh please let us come?" Marnie pleaded. "We've been to so many places but have never seen anything. We promise we will stay out of the way and do anything you say."

"If we tell you to leave, you leave." Dean said, pointing her knife at Marnie.

"Yeah, of course. We promise." Marnie said.

Sam shot Dean a bitch face.

"Dean! You can't seriously be considering this!" He hissed across the table.

"Sammy, you heard them. They're just going to go there anyway. Unless we tie them up, we can't stop them. At least this way we can keep them safe." Dean said.

"Fine. Alright you can come." Sam said reluctantly.

"Ooo! Thank you!" Marnie bounced in her seat, clapping before she wrapped her arms around Sam and kissed him on the cheek.

"You have just made her day. Hell, her Millenia." Megan said as she bumped her shoulder against Deans.

"Yeah well, glad we could help." Dean mumbled as she attacked her breakfast.

"So when are we going to go?" Marnie asked, her own food forgotten.

"Well the house is a little way out of town but it would be best to go tonight. Less chance of being spotted." Sam said.

"Yay! This is exciting. Do you think we will actually get to see a real ghost?"

"Marnie. Let's just finish our food. We can talk about this back at the motel." Megan said. She could see the Winchester's weren't happy about this decision. She dropped her hand to Deans thigh and squeezed gently. "We promise we will do everything you tell us to."

Dean just gave her a small smile and nod.
