"Why are we here?" I asked as my big brother messed with the latch on a window that lead us to my other brothers apartment, "Cause Ely, we're getting Sammy" he said "What makes you think he'll help" I asked as he got the latch with my switch blade, "because we're family" Dean said, I rolled my eyes, "we could just call him" I said, Dean looked at me "You really think he'd answer?" Dean asked, I shrugged I'll give him that! "I got a twenty that says he doesn't come" I said as I put the switch blade back into my bag, "You're on sister, now get in there" Dean pushed me through the window before climbing through himself. Dean look around and went straight to the fridge, I rolled my eyes and lent against the wall my left foot against it and crossed my arms over my chest. I saw Sam coming before Dean did and I'll admit it was amusing to watch them, "Easy tiger" Dean said pining Sam to the floor, "Dean?" Sam asked confused "I'm here too!" I said moving from the wall "Ely? You guys scared the chap outta me" Sam said "Thats cause your outta practice" Dean laughed only for Sam to flip them around, "Or not, get off of me" Sam let Dean go then helped him to his feet, "What the hell are you doing here?" Sam asked "Well I was looking for a beer" Dean said at the same time I said "We were in the area and wanted to come say hi", I rolled my eyes at Dean and hit his shoulder, Sam looked at us skepticalally and repeated his question, "Okay, all right we gotta talk" Dean admitted, "Uh, The phone?" Sam asked "That's what I said" I said, Dean looked at me then back at Sammy, "If I'd'a called would you have picked up" the lights turned on and a good looking blond was standing at the door "Jess, Hey, Dean, Ely this is my girlfriend Jessica" "Your brother and sister?" Jessica asked "In the flesh" I said as Dean shamelessly looked her up and down and said "Oh, I love the Smurfs. You know, I gotta tell you. You are completely out of my brother's league." I glared at him as did Sam, I reached out and smacked the back of his head as hard as I could "Don't mind him, he sometimes thinks with his downstairs head before he speaks" I smirked at Dean who turned to glare at me, and I swear I saw Sammy hold back a smile, "Anyway, we gotta borrow your boyfriend here talk about some private family business" Dean said patting Sam on the chest, "Its nice meeting you" I said, Sam looked between us "No, whatever you want to say, you can say it in front of her." Sam said putting an arm around her shoulders, "Okay" Dean said "Dad hasn't been home in a few days" I said "So he's working overtime on a Miller Time shift. He'll stumble back in sooner or later." Sam said, Dean and I shared a look before Dean turned back to Sammy,

"Dad's on a hunting trip. And he hasn't been home in a few days" Dean said looking straight at Sammy, who's expression didn't change as told his girlfriend "Jess, excuse us, we have to go outside".

"I mean, come on. You can't just break in, middle of the night, and expect me to hit the road with you." Sam said as we walked down the stairs. I was in front of the two with Dean between Sam and I, "You're not hearing us, Sammy. Dad's missing. We need you to help us find him." Dean said "You remember the poltergeist in Amherst? Or the Devil's Gates in Clifton? He was missing then, too. He's always missing, and he's always fine." Sam said exasperated, as we reached the end of the stairs "Not for this long. Now are you gonna come with us or not?" Dean asked "No, I'm not" Sam said, Dean pulled out a twenty and handed it to me, "Why not?" Dean questioned, "If he doesn't want to come Dean he doesn't want to come, I'll be in the car" I said walking out of the building and jogging over to the impala. I pulled my backpack from where I had stashed it under the passenger seat and I grabbed my Ipod, a couple minutes later I heard the trunk of the car open, I pulled out an ear bud and got out of the car in time to hear Sam ask "Dad let you go on a hunting trip with Ely by yourself?" "I'm twenty six dude!" Dean said as I walked around and sat on the edge of the trunk "And I'm sixteen, I'm more then capable of taking care of him" I said "very funny" Dean said poking my stomach as Sam laughed "All right, here we go. So Dad was checking out this two-lane blacktop just outside of Jericho, California. About a month ago, this guy." He handed Sam a wanted poster for 'Andrew Carey' "So maybe he was kidnapped" Sam said "Yeah. Well, here's another one in April. Another one in December 'oh-four, 'oh-three, 'ninety-eight, 'ninety-two, ten of them over the past twenty years." Dean said putting the corresponding news articles down "All men, all the same five-mile stretch of road" he continued pulling a duffle bag "It started happening more and more, so Dad went to go dig around. That was about three weeks ago. We hadn't heard from him since, which is bad enough." I said as Dean pulled out a voice recorder "And then Dean gets this" I said as Dean hit play on the recorder "Dean...Ely...something big is starting to happen...I need to try and figure out what's going on. It may... Be very careful, Kids. We're all in danger." Dads voice came out of the recorder, after a second of pondering Sam said "You know there's EVP on that?" Dean chuckled "Not bad, Sammy. Kinda like riding a bike, isn't it?" He said, Sam shook his head and I rolled my eyes "All right. So I slowed the message down and ran it through a gold wave, took out the hiss, and this is what we got." I said pointing at Dean who hit play on the recorder and a creepy womans voice said "I can never go home" Dean sighed and dropped the recorder and pulled the shotgun that was holding the arsenal up down, I stood as he shut the trunk and we both leant against it "You know, in almost two years we've never bothered you, never asked you for a thing." Dean said. Sam look away then sighed, "All right. I'll go. I'll help ye find him." "Yes" I moved from the car and hugged him "But I have to get back first thing Monday. Just wait here." Sam said, wrapping his arms around me and kissing the top of my head "What's first thing Monday?" I asked pulling away from Sam and walking back over to Dean, "I have this, I have an interview" Sam said "What, a job interview? Skip it." Dean said "It's a law school interview, and it's my whole future on a plate." Sam said "Law school?" Dean and I asked we looked at eachother and smirked, "Do we have a deal or not" Sam asked "Yeah" Dean said, Sam disappeared back into the building, "Does this mean I have to ride in the back seat?" I asked "Yes kiddo it does now give me my twenty" Dean said holding out his hand, "What twenty?" I asked sliding into the back seat "I'm not getting it back am I" he asked "Nope" I said laying down as he closed the door. A few minutes later I was lying on my stomach my legs crossed in the air writing in my diary when the trunk opened then closed and Sam got into the front seat, I pulled out an earbud in time to hear him say "I can not believe you two made a bet on weather or not I'd come" I closed my journal and sat up in the middle seat and rested my arms on their seats "Really Sammy, cause that sounds like something we'd do" I said before leaning against my seat as Dean drove us out of Stanford.

I followed Dean out of the convenience store, carring a plastic bag with all my goodies "Hey you want breakfast?" Dean asked Sam who was sitting shotgun with the door open as he riffled through Dean's box of tapes. "No, I'm good" Sammy said as I slid into the back seat, "So how'd you pay for that stuff?, You and Dad still running credit card scams?" Sam asked as Dean put the gas nozzle back in its place "You know they are Sammy" I muttered pulling out a granola bar from my bag "Yeah, well, hunting ain't exactly a pro ball career." Dean said as he walked around the car "Besides, all we do is apply. It's not our fault they send us the cards" He said getting into the car as Sam sung his legs into the car shutting his door "Yeah? And what names did you write on the application this time?" Sam asked "Burt Aframian. I think" I said. Dean looked at me and said "And his kids, Hector and Isobelle, scored three cards out of the deal" Dean said "That sounds about right. I swear, man, you've gotta update your cassette tape collection." Sam said, I lay back on the seats reading a magazine as they argued over Dean's music choices, "House rules Sammy, Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole." Dean said as AD/DC started to play, "You know, Sammy is a chubby twelve-year-old., Its Sam okay!" Sam said "Yeah, like that's gonna matter" I muttered as Dean turned up the music saying "Sorry, I can't hear you, the music's too loud."

I yawned as Sam was talking on his phone, "Go to sleep Ely, we'll wake you when we get to the motel", "Okay, and do wake me this time" I said pulling my ipod from my bag I put my head phones in and grabbed the pillow that I keep in my Rucksack.

"So, while I was asleep, you two went to a crime scene and talked to the victims girlfriend?" I asked as I followed the two into the library "yes" "Totally should have woken me up" I muttered as we sat down at a computer, Dean was typing in a bunch of things into the search bar. Sam shoved Dean to the side "Control freak" Dean said hitting Sam's shoulder "Angry spirits are born out of violent deaths aren't they?" I asked pulling my chair closer to them, "Yeah, so maybe it wasn't murder" Sam said and changed what Dean was looking for, he clicked on the article that popped up "This was 1981. Constance Welch, twenty-four years old, jumps off Sylvania Bridge, drowns in the river." Sam said as he scrolled down, "Does it say why she did it?" I asked resting my elbow on his shoulder, "An hour before they found her, she calls 911. Apparently her two little kids are in the bathtub. She leaves them alone for a minute, and when she comes back, they aren't breathing. Both of them died." he said "Our babies were gone, and Constance just couldn't bear it,' said husband Joseph Welch." I read as Dean pointed to the picture of who I assume was Joseph and asked "Does that bridge look familiar to you" "No" I said as Sam nodded, "What, What is it?" I asked "It's the bridge where Troy Squire disappeared" Sam said as Dean stood taking my hand, "I know where we're going" Dean said.

I grabbed my denim jacket from my rucksack and pulled it on before I followed Sam and Dean out of the car, they seemed to be arguing again, I rolled my eyes seriously, Dad's missing and they can't go a minute with out getting at each others throats, I stayed by the car let them hash it out. "hey" I yelled as Dean grabbed Sammy by the collar of his shirt and shoved him up against the railing of the bridge, I ran up to them "Dean" I said as Dean said "Don't talk about her like that" I was confused and about to ask what the hell the fight was about when the Constance chick from the news article caught my attention, "Boys?" I said nodding to where she was standing on the railing of the bridge, she stepped off falling, Sam Dean and I all ran forward "Where'd she go?" Dean asked as we looked over "I don't know" Sam and I answered. I heard the Impala turn on behind us which is impossible since I'm pretty sure Dean took the keys, "What the? Dean asked stepping back turning to his car "Who's driving your car?" Sam asked as I stood between them, Dean reached into his pocket and pulled the keys out and held them up so we could see, "Ghosts I freaking hate ghosts" I said "Yeah that doesn't matter right now we need to run now" Sam said as the car came at us, we all jumped over the railing as I was preparing myself to hit the water I felt someone catch my wrist, I looked up and saw Sammy holding onto me, but where's Dean, "Dean?" I yelled as Sam lifted himself up and then pulled me up, "You are freakishly strong" I said wrapping my arms around him just under his arm pits as we looked down and yelled for our older brother, "Dean" Sam yelled again "What?" Dean yelled up as he climbed out of the river soaking and covered in muck "hey! are you okay?" Sam yelled down, "I'm Super" Dean yelled making an okay sign with his fingers. Sam wrapped his arms around me laughing and pulled me back from the edge, I stood up my hands shaking, "Hey are you okay flower?" Sam asked putting his hand on my shoulder "Yeah, Sammy I'm fine" I lied stuffing my hands in my pockets "Elyzabeth", "Samuel, that full name crap stopped working on me years ago, I'm fine just afraid of water, so thanks for catching me" "Since when?" Sam asked as I walked passed him towards the car to inspect her, "For the same reason I hate ghosts even more then I did, Haunted pool 'bout one-two years ago Dad thought it would be an easy job let me tag along, the ghost dragged me into the pool as Dad and Dean were figuring out how to destroy the object he was tied to" I said "Ely" Sam said, "Don't look at me like that, I was fine- I'm fine. Dean jumped in after me while Daddy busted it" "Am I interrupting something?" Dean asked "No, We were just talking about how pissed you'd be if that Constance chick messed up your car" I said changing the subject. "She better not have" Dean muttered, a good couple minutes later Dean shut the hood and lent against it, "Car okay?" Sam asked "Yeah, whatever she did to it, seems all right now. That Constance chick, what a bitch!" Dean yelled as Sam settled next to him and I lent on my arms between them "She definitely didn't want us poking round" I said "that's for sure. So where's the job go from here, genius?" Sam agreed looking at Dean who flung his hands up shrugging then flung mud off his hands "You smell like a toilet" Sam said after a moment, Dean glared at him as I started to laugh. "Get into the car, both of you" he said.

Dean pulled into the first motel we passed, "You really need a shower bro" I said closing the car door behind me, Dean glared at me "Yeah, I know" he said as we entered the office "One room please" Dean said dropping his credit card onto the table "You guys having a reunion or something?" the clerk asked after looking at the card, "What do you mean?" Sammy asked "I had another guy, Burt Aframian. He came and bought out a room for the whole month." the clerk said "What room?" I asked, "Room 23" the clerk said, "Thank you" I said pulling my brothers out of the room, "Here Sammy you've always been the better lock picker" I said handing Sam the set of lock picks I had taken from my bag after deciding to leave it in the car, "I don't want to know" Sam said, "What Dean has a habit of hand cuffing me to something to stop me from following him and Dad" I said as we walked to the room, Dean stood in front of Sam and I lent against the frame as Sam picked the lock and pushed the door open, I slipped in first and he grabbed the back of Dean's jacket pulling him in.

I stood in the middle of the room every all the walls have papers pinned or taped to it, maps, newspaper clippings, pictures, notes. Books on the desk and assorted junk on the floor and bed. Dad could be a bit of a slob when he was in over his head. "I don't think he's been here for a couple days at least." Dean said, I turned to look at him and noticed the salt that Sammy was crouched by, "Salt, cats-eye shells...he was worried. Trying to keep something from coming in." He said "Yeah well Daddy is a paranoid barsterd" I said looking around the room, walking over to Dean who was looking at all the wanted posters for the guys we were looking for, "What have you got here?" Sam asked "I don't get it. I mean, different men, different jobs, ages, ethnicities. There's always a connection, right? What do these guys have in common?" Dean asked as Sam and I walked to different sides of the room, Man I'll never understand how dad understands what he's pinned to the wall, "Dad figured it out." Sam said, I didn't bother turning as I asked "figured what out?" At the same time Dean asked "What do you mean?" "He found the same article we did. Constance Welch. She's a woman in white." I turned at that as I pulled my hair from the bun I had it in dropping the pins into my jacet pocket, "A woman in white?" I asked "All right, so if we're dealing with a woman in white, Dad would have found the corpse and destroyed it." Dean said, its like I'm not even here, "No, not that I can tell. If I were Dad, though, I'd go ask her husband." Sam said pointing at the photo on the news article "if he's still alive" I said walking away, "All right. Why don't you, uh, see if you can find an address, I'm gonna get cleaned up." Dean said walking to the bathroom, "hey Dean" Sam said "What I said earlier, about Mom and Dad, I'm sorry." Sam said, so that's what they were arguing about, I looked down and fiddled with the buttons on my shirt "No chick-flick moments." Dean said, Sam laughed as he said "Alright Jerk" "Bitch" Dean said walking onto the bathroom "Assholes" I muttered, "Hey Sammy?" I said. Sam turned to look at me the photo of the three of us and Dad that was on the mirror in his hand. "Yeah" "What's a women in white, I've never heard of one" I said, Sam sat on the bed "A women in white, sometimes weeping woman they're spirits. They've been sighted for hundreds of years, dozens of places, in Hawaii, Mexico, lately in Arizona, Indiana. All these are different women. But all share the same story, when they were alive, their husbands were unfaithful to them and these women, basically suffering from temporary insanity, murdered their children once they realized what they had done, they took their own lives. So now their spirits are cursed, walking back roads, waterways. And if they find an unfaithful man, they kill him. And that man is never seen again" Sam said, I nodded, guess I'm adding something to my journal, "I'll add that to my list of reasons I like women more then men" I said "Thanks Sammy, unfaithful men" I turned to look at the missing mens photos on the wall, "Jerks" I said.

Dean walked out of the bathroom when Sam was listening to his voicemail "Hey, I'm starving, I'm gonna grab a little something to eat in that diner down the street. You want anything?" Sam shook his head saying "no,", "can I ride shotgun" "Sure thing kiddo" Dean said ruffling my hair "You sure Sammy Aframian's buying." Dean said, "I'm sure" Sammy said as Dean opened the door, "Crap Dean" I said pointing to the cops that were talking to the desk clerk, Dean called Sam and told him to take off, that we'd be fine as the cops reached us, What a great time for Sammy to have my lock picks!. "Problem, officers?" Dean asked "Where's your partner?" A deputy...Jaffe asked "Partner? What, what partner?, only person with me is my little sister" Dean nodded his head to me and I smiled and waved a little as the deputy nodded his head to our room and his partner headed over, Come on Sammy get out of there, "So. Fake US Marshal. Fake credit cards. You got anything that's real?" The cop asked "My boobs" Dean answered in the most smart Alecy tone, I snorted laughing as the cop slammed Dean down on the hood of a cop car "Seriously Bro" I asked as the other came over "The rooms empty but you've got to see whats in here" the other one said. Dean and I were both cuffed and put into the cruiser "They ask, we're Ted and Victoria Nugent" "I don't look like a Victoria" I said "Ely" "I know D, I know" I said "This is just fantastic, 16 years and I've never gotten arrested and the first time I do, I don't even have my lock picks" I said, Dean groaned beside me, "Just let me do the talking okay, you're underage, can't talk to you with out a parent or guardian present remember that if they split us up" Dean said, I nodded as the cop came back over and got into the driver seat.

Once we got into the sheriffs station Dean made a big deal about me being underage when they tried to put us into separate rooms so they put us into the same one, I actually think I fell asleep again (Don't judge its been a stressful few weeks) it took them so long because the next thing I know Dean's shaking me awake "Ely, Come on sweetie we don't have long" he said, I yawned and streched "Long for what?" I asked "To book it, Sammy called a distraction" He said grabbing a familiar book from the table, "Is that Dads journal?" I asked "Yeah, We're going out the window, I'll go down first catch you if you fall" Dean said, I nodded and watched as he climbed down then copied exactly what he did, "We gotta find a payphone" Dean said as we ran finding one about a block or two away from the station, Dean flipped through the journal then gave it to me and called Sammy as I flipped through it "Fake 911 phone call? Sammy, I don't know, that's pretty illegal...Yeah, she's fine listen we gotta talk...Sammy, would you shut up for a second?...Well, that's what I'm trying to tell you. He's gone. Dad left Jericho...We've got his journal...Yeah, well, he did this time...Ah, the same old ex-Marine crap, when he wants to let us know where he's going...I'm not sure yet." Dean said, Stupid payphones not having a speaker option so we both can talk to him, "Sam, Sam" Dean yelled "What's wrong?" I asked, closing the journal "I don't know Come on we've got to get to Constance's house"

(Cause I'm not sure how Dean even got there)

"How the hell do you have your gun?" I whispered as Dean pulled it from his pants shooting at Constance who was on top of Sammy, Sam sat up and turned on the car driving straight into the house, Dean and I ran in after him "Sam! Sam! You okay?" Dean asked "I think..." Sam said "Can you move" "Yeah help me" Dean helped Sam as I got my bag from the back and got my gun for nothing more then piece of mind, I know it won't do anything but i can hope right? I shut the door and turned around, Constance was holding a photograph "she looked up an glared at us as she throws the picture down. A bureau come flying towards us, pinning us to the car, my gun slipped from my fingers as the lights flickered, Constance looks around, she was scared. Water stsrted to fall down the stairs and creepy childish voices came in unison "You've come home to us mommy" Man this shit is creepy I seriously hate ghosts, Constance walked over to the staircase as the kids appeared behind her and hugged her, and now they're melting sometimes I wonder if this job is just one big hilusination and I'm secretly in a nut house or something, Sam and Dean pushed the bureau off of us and I gasped for breath nope this is very very real! "So this is where she drowned her kids" Dean asked walking over to the puddle, I picked up my gun as Sam and I followed Dean over "That's why she could never go home. She was too scared to face them." Sam said "Well that's one fucked up family" I said putting my gun in the waist band of my leggings "You found her weak spot. Nice work, Sammy." Dean said hitting Sam right where Constance had been trying to kill him, Sam laughed through the pain I'm sure he's feeling if the screams say anything, "Yeah, I wish I could say the same for you. What were you thinking shooting Casper in the face, you freak?" Sam said "He saved your ass didn't he" I said kissing his cheek and walking to the car to put my gun back in my bag, I am never parting with it again, though it probably would have been hard to explain why a sixteen year old carried two guns and two switch blades in her bag, "Earth to Ely" "Huh, Sorry?" "I said get in, We're leaving" Dean said as he walked around to the drivers seat, "Yeah, let's go, this place creeps me out" I said getting in and shutting the door behind me.

"Dad left us co-ordinates? I said pulling off my boots, my feet were killing me, "Yep" Dean said. I looked at the journal that Sam has open on the dash a map on his lap as he tries to find where Dad went, 'Dean, Ely 35-111' in a circle "Where are we heading?" I asked "Blackwater Ridge, Colorado" Sam said "Sounds charming. How far?" Dean asked "About six hundred miles." Sam answered "We could make it by morning if Dean drives fast enough" I said leaning my elbows on their seats, Sam looked at me and then to Dean "I, Um" he said "You're not going." Dean said "The interview's in like, ten hours. I gotta be there." Sam said, I sat back and plugged my head phones in picking up my journal to continue my passage about todays events and add Women in white to my list of monsters. I'm upset that Sam isn't coming I really enjoyed having both him and Dean, even when I was ignored, I'll miss Sammy alot but he's gotta do what he's gotta do right.

"Call me if you find him?" Sam said when he got out of the car, he was leaning through the window, "Will do" Dean nodded as I slid out of the car to hug Sammy goodbye, "Don't be a stranger Sammy I enjoyed having both my big brothers around" "I won't, maybe I can meet up with you later, huh?" He said kissing the top of my head and looking at Dean "yeah alright" Dean said Sam let me go and patted the roof of the car twice as I got into the front next to Dean, "Hey Sam" Dean yelled at Sammy who was leaving, Sam stopped and turned "You know, we made a hell of a team back there." "Yeah" Sam said, and Dean drove off, "what's the matter kiddo?" Dean asked "Nothing, I just...I missed Sammy and now he's back to living his safe normal life" I said as we drove passed the clock tower, my brows furrow as I looked at it "Dean has your watch stopped?" I asked, turning to look at him as he turned the car around, "Why are we turning around" I asked "I've got a bad feeling, Stay in the car" he said skidding to a stop and got out running to Sam's building, I got out of the car and sat on the hood watching Sam's window which suddenly lit up orange with smoke coming out "Sam, Dean" I yelled a moment or two later Dean came out pulling a struggling Sam with him, "Where's Jessica?" I asked, "Dead, burnt up on the ceiling" Dean said, "Make sure he stays here, I'm going to call 911" Dean said.

There were fire trucks everywhere, "Just like your mom?" I said leaning on the trunk as Sam messed with a shot gun, "Yeah, if what Dad told us was right" Sam said, "I am so sorry Sammy" I said as Dean jogged over from where he had been watching the firemen work. "Hey, How you doing?" Dean asked concern written all over his face, "I'm fine" Sam said, Dean and I shared a look behind his back as he tossed the shot gun into the trunk, "Come on, we've got work to do" he said as he closed the trunk.
