CHAPTER 3

"I think I found something." Sam said. Dean looked from the town records he was searching towards his brother. Collin who was pacing earlier was beside Sam within seconds.

"Here it is said that according to the lore the witches in order to remain young requires the power from the soul of children. They take the power from the soul of kids which put the kids in so much pressure that their heart rate increases which results in heart attacks. But the witch has to perform a ritual first which means we still have time to search for the witch. So it looks like we know what we are searching , we just have to find the answer to 'where'. " Sam explained what he had found after about four hours of continuous research.

"These bitches , they normally do their rituals in abandoned buildings such as a warehouse or a factory or a house to be least suspicious. In order to find the witch we need to find the places which are least populated in this town." Dean said.

"I know an abandoned warehouse at the outskirts of the town. The witch must have Ryan there." Collin said. Finally he would have his brother back.

"Okay lets go and gank this bitch." Dean said picking up his duffel containing the weapons.

"Collin why don't you stay here , it can be pretty dangerous. We don't know how powerful the witch is." Sam said. He didn't want Collin's life to be at a risk.

"No I will come." Collin said resolutely , no way he wouldn't go. Its his brother. Doesn't matter if he had to go alone but he will go.

"Collin.."

"Sam , leave it. Collin you are coming with us. But you have to follow our orders without any questions. If we tell you to stay back you will stay back. Clear ?" Dean asked Collin. He knew if they refused to take Collin with them then the kid would go alone but he will go so with them atleast he would be safe. He figured Collin was as much protective of his little brother as he himself was. So no way the kid was staying when his brother was out there in the danger.

"Yes, sir. Now please can we go." Collin asked desperately.

"Okay."

The warehouse was about half an hour away from their motel. The drive was spent in silence. Dean stopped the car a few meters away from the warehouse so as not to be noticed by the witch. While dealing with the supernatural beings the element of surprise has always worked in their favour. And they hoped that today would be that day too.

The witch can be killed only by destroying her altar by fire. God knows how many kids she had killed. She stays in a town for a few weeks and then move to another. Each year she takes the lives of about six innocent kids just so that she could stay young forever. ' I hate witches the most of all.' Dean thought.

"Collin , you know how to use a gun ?" Sam asked handing a .45 to Collin. It would not kill the witch but it would definitely hurt her.

"Yes , sir." Collin said taking the gun. It had been some time since he had holded a gun but not enough to make him forget how to use one.

"Alright , Collin you stay behind me and Sam . Come on." Dean said taking the lead to the warehouse with Sam behind him and Collin behind both of them.

They made their way silently to the warehouse. Looking for any sign of the witch. They entered the warehouse from a window in the back to avoid the creaking sound of the rotten wooden gate in the front so as to not alert the witch. The warehouse was completely dark , the only source of light was the moonlight coming from the windows.

They made their way forward slowly while straining their ears to hear any sound. But no sound came. Dean motioned Sam to go search the left side with Collin while he would search the right. Sam nodded and moved to the left with Collin close behind him.

As Sam and Collin were moving slowly , they stopped in front of a small room. Noises of a child crying and whimpering was coming out of it. Sam looked at Collin and nodded. Sam carefully opened the door and inside that was a small kid tied on a chair. His arms and legs were tied with a rope and so were his eyes.

Collin took one look at Ryan tied and crying and he dashed towards his brother. He untied the cloth covering his eyes while Sam was untying the ropes covering his arms and legs.

Ryan gasped when he felt someone's hands around him. He thought the bad lady had returned. But when he saw his brother he cried in relief. "Cole.." Ryan said crying , tears flowing down his cheeks and mixing with the dirt that covered his body from the warehouse.

"Shh... I am here, okay. You're safe , kiddo." Collin whispered soothingly to his brother.

Sam heard a sound behind him and turned and came face to face with a young woman. In an instant he threw himself in between the witch and the kids.

"My , my I didn't realise I would have some company." The witch was a young beautiful woman. Her beautiful face drawn in an ugly frown and her voice was like poison.

"Stay away from the kids and maybe we would let you go." Sam said pointing his gun towards the witch , it would not kill her but it would hurt like hell after all witches are humans , right.

"Oh , I don't think so , darling." With that the witch took a step forward and Sam poised his gun ready to fire at the witch. But the witch with a single movement of her hand threw the gun out of Sam's hand.

"Tsk tsk... Now bad boys will learn a lesson." The witch said and took a step forward and then all of a sudden she let out a piercing scream and her whole body bursted into flames.

The kids flinched violently and Sam wrapped his arms around both kids protectively. He looked at the burning witch who was now reduced to ashes. Dean must have destroyed her altar. Thought Sam.

Dean entered the room and saw Sam with his arms full of two kids. The little kid who he supposed was Ryan was crying his heart out. Collin was aslo crying but not as much as his brother. He was whispering soothingly to Ryan and rubbing his back. Sam looked at Dean and made his way towards his brother.

"The kid looks fine but we still have to check for injuries." Sam said looking at the two kids.

"Alright. Come on, lets go." Dean said and called to the kids. "Comeon kids lets go."

When Dean spoke Ryan hid behind his brother in fear. Collin looked at Dean and nodded. "Hey its okay. They helped me in saving you and I am here , you don't have to be afraid." Ryan nodded still clutching his brother tightly and looking at Sam and Dean.

They all exited the warehouse with Dean and Sam in front and the kids close behind. When they reached the impala , Sam opened the backdoor for the kids. Collin and Ryan sat in the backseat with Ryan leaning into his brother while Sam was in the passenger seat with Dean driving.

"Its pretty dark. Why don't you both stay in our room for the night This way we can check Ryan for injuries." Dean asked looking in the rearview mirror at the kids.

Collin didn't trust these men. They have helped him in finding his brother but he still didn't trust them. But Dean is right it is pretty dark. And the storage room where they lived didn't have enough light for him to check his brother for injuries. He had dropped the food bags in his haste to find Ryan , god knows where. So that means there wasn't enough food. And god knows when his brother had eaten last. Probably in the morning and that was only some cereals. He decided go with Sam and Dean. They looked nice enough. Besides he promised them that he would do anything for them if they helped him in finding his brother. Maybe if he asked them , they would provide some food for his brother too. This was his only option , he didn't have enough money to buy food and medicines , he would ask for their help and in return he would do anything the men asked.
