I was eating my breakfast while Dean was circling stuff in the news paper, I ran my fingers through my hair as the waitress walked over, "Can I get you anything?" The waitress asked "just the check please" Sam said sitting back down in the booth after using the restroom. "You know, Sam, we are allowed to have fun once in a while. And thats fun" he pointed to the waitress, I rolled my eyes "Do you ever think with your upstairs brain?" I asked "Shut up and take a look at this, I think I got one. Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin. Last week Sophie Carlton, eighteen, walks into the lake, doesn't walk out. Authorities dragged the water; nothing. Sophie Carlton is the third Lake Manitoc drowning this year. None of the other bodies were found either. They had a funeral two days ago." Dean said turning the paper towards me and Sam "A funeral?" Sam asked "Yeah, it's weird, they buried an empty coffin. For, uh, closure or whatever." Dean said "Closure? What closure? People don't just disappear, Dean. Other people just stop looking for them." Sam said. Here we go, "Something you want to say to me?" Dean asked "No he doesn't" I said trying to stop the fight before it even began, "Yes I do, The trail for Dad. It's getting colder every day." Sam said "Exactly. So what are we supposed to do?" Dean asked "Not fight about this!" I said "I don't know. Something. Anything." Sam said "You know what? I'm sick of this attitude. You don't think we wanna find Dad as much as you do?" "Seriously do Ye even hear me?" I asked "Yeah, I know you do, it's just-" Dean cut Sammy off "We're the ones that's been with him every single day for the past two years, while you've been off to college going to pep rallies. We will find Dad, but until then, we're gonna kill everything bad between here and there. Okay?" Dean said as the waitress walked passed distracting, "Just once I'd actually liked to be heard when you're arguing" I said as Sam snapped his fingers to regain Dean's attention "All right, Lake Manitoc. Hey!" "Huh" "How far?" Sam asked "Bout an hour or two" Dean said standing dropping money on the table, "Shotgun" I said grabbing my bag and running past Dean out into the parking lot to the Impala, I lent against the door as Sam and Dean walked over, "Dean come on" Sam said "Sorry Sammy, those are the rules she called shot gun you'll just have to sit in the back" Dean said unlocking the car. "The seat doesn't bite" I said grinning at Sam.

I was left in the car once again when my brothers went to talk to Sophie Carlton's family and again when they went into the ranger station, I got out of the car when we got to the station, Dean gave me his best don't you even dare looks, "Relax D, I'm just sitting in the sun kay? fresh air" I said sitting on the hood of the Impala, "Fine but stay here" ""Yes Sir" I said with a salute, "Can I at least have the keys so I can get back in?" Dean rolled his eyes but tossed me the keys, "Thanks bro" I yelled after him, He waved his hand up saying "yeah yeah". I lay down on the cars hood for I don't know how long when I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, I sat up pulling it out of my pants pocket to see a message from Sam, "Dean's flirting, follow us" I sat up and saw my brothers walking out of the station a woman following, I grabbed my bag from the car and followed them, keeping my distance, I could just catch up with them but Dean looks like he's having fun, I say sarcastically. "Must be hard, with your sense of direction, never being able to find your way to a decent pickup line." the woman said as I reached them I burst out laughing "You have no idea lady" I said "And you are?" "I'm Ely Rosbud, I'm interning at the..." I trailed off not knowing who they were pretending to be "Wildlife service," Sam finished putting a hand on my shoulder "Right, I'm not very good" I said, "I'm Andrea Barr, Enjoy your stay" she said as she walked away "Really Dean, Kids are the best? You don't even like kids." Sam said as Dean glared at me which held no anger, "I love kids!" Dean said "Name three kids you know?" I asked. Dean paused "I'm thinking" he yelled as Sam and I walked into the hotel, "There's a laundry matt a few buildings down, do you have any coins I'll cart all our dirty clothing down" I said as we reached the check in desk, "How can I help you?" the desk clerk a beautiful young women which Dean will more then likely flirt with, that doesn't happen often "A family room please three beds" Sam said as Dean walked in. The woman handed Sam a key card "Room 304, enjoy" Dean smirked as he lent against the counter I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the stairs.

Sam was sitting at the table and chairs working on his laptop having already went through his clothes and dropped his dirty clothes into the duffle bag for me, Dean and I were doing the same. "So there's the three drowning victims this year." Sam said "Any before that?" Dean asked "Uh yeah...Six more spread out over the past thirty-five years. Those bodies were never recovered either. If there is something out there, it's picking up its pace." Sam said as Dean tossed a few clothes into the duffle that was open on my bed. "So, what, we got a lake monster on a binge?" Dean asked "Lake monsters aren't real!" I said dropping my own clothes into the bag. Dean turned to look at me and raised and eyebrow "Really Els with what we see everyday?" he said "she may have a point, This whole lake monster theory, it, it just bugs me." Sam said "Why?" Dean asked as he walked over to Sam and read over his shoulder "Loch Ness, uh, Lake Champlain, there are literally hundreds of eyewitness accounts, but here, almost nothing. Whatever it is out there, no one's living to talk about it." Sam said annoyed "Are you seriously telling me that lake monsters really exist?" I asked, Dean looked over at me and was about to I hope say something comforting when something On Sammy's laptop caught his attention "Wait, Barr, Christopher Barr. Where have I heard that name before?" He asked "Christopher Barr, the victim in May." Sam said, "Barr wasn't that that woman's surname?" I asked walking over and standing next to Dean who put his hand on my lower back "Oh. Christopher Barr was Andrea's husband, Lucas's father. Apparently he took Lucas out swimming. Lucas was on a floating wooden platform when Chris drowned. Two hours before the kid got rescued." Sam said as he clicked on the photo "Maybe we have an eyewitness after all." Sam said "No wonder that kid was so freaked out. Watching one of your parents die isn't something you just get over." Dean said "Don't I know it?" I said.

"We're going to talk to Andrea" Dean said, "I'll be in the laundry matt" I said picking up the duffle with our clothes then I pat my pockets "Any of you have coins?" I asked both shook their heads "Great I'll just use the coin machine" I said and walked out and down the street. I sorted out all the clothes and went to the coin machine in the back and exchanged a couple of notes and well laundry is boring so I sat on one of the benches my headphones in and pulled the most recent Harry Potter out of my bag and read while I waited. After about a chapter and a half so like ten-twenty minutes I felt like I was being watched, I looked around and saw a group of boys around my age outside just watching me, I was the only teenager in the place I quickly moved the clothes from the washer into the dryer and called Dean, "What up?" Dean said "Are you at the motel?" I asked "Yeah why, What's wrong?" Dean asked "There's a group of boys my age staring at me through the window!" I said, Dean chuckled "So talk to them, have a little fun you can hang out with kids your own age" Dean said "D, You and I have more in common then just our personality okay, I don't do boys well not most of the time anyway" I said "Then tell 'em that, if they bother you sucker punch them okay?" "Okay, thanks D, I should be back in about 20-25 minutes"

I folded all the dry clothing back into the duffle separating them by person, I notice the group of boys were still out there, all about 5-10 to 6'0 and the typical jock build, I put my book in my bag and plugged my headphones in and walked out and down to the motel, "Hey sweetheart" I heard over my music as some one pulled my ear buds out, "I was talking to you" a boy with brown hair and blue eyes I think said gripping my arm, "Yeah, and I had my headphones in which usually means I don't want to be bothered let go of me" I said. The boy didn't I grabbed his arm and twisted it so it was behind his back "What's your name?" I asked "M-Mike" "Listen closely Mike, It's rude to touch a girl with out permission you don't know what they're going through or have gone through, Don't bother people when they are clearly trying to ignore you and definitely don't spend forty or so minutes watching them from outside a laundry matt its creepy" I said slow and calm before I let his arm go, "I have no interest in guys especially the ones that treat women like we're their property , you don't get to decide weather or not I talk to you Capeesh" I turned put my ear buds back in and said "Have a nice night boys".

"Hey Sammy" I said pulling out my head phones as I reached the motel door, Sam smiled at me and opened the door letting me in first "Such a gentleman" I laughed and set the bag on my bed and opened it, I pulled out Dean's pile and dropped it onto his bed next to him "So, I think it's safe to say we can rule out Nessie" Sam said "What do you mean?" Dean asked as Sam sat next to him. "I just drove past the Carlton house. There was an ambulance there. Will Carlton is dead." Sam said "Drowned?" I asked grabbing a wooden chair and sat on it backwards in front of them. "Yep In the sink" Sammy said "What the hell?" Dean and I said "So you're right, this isn't a creature. We're dealing with something else." Dean said pointing at Sam "Yeah but what" Sam asked, "Water wrath?" I suggested, Dean nodded his head in agreement adding "or some kind of demon? I mean, something that controls water...water that comes from the same source." "The lake?" Sam said "Which would explain why it's upping the body count. The lake is draining. It'll be dry in a few months. Whatever this thing is, whatever it wants, it's running out of time." He said "if it can get through the pipes, it can get to anyone, anywhere" I said as Dean stood "This is gonna happen again soon" he said "And we do know one other thing for sure. We know this has got something to do with Bill Carlton." Sam said "Yeah, it took both his kids" Dean agreed "And I've been asking around. Lucas's dad, Chris-Bill Carlton's godson." Sam said "I think it time for you both to go talk to Bill Carlton" I said, They both stood agreeing with me and Dean turned "I know lock the door and don't answer unless there's three knocks, I'm not stupid Dean" I said "Okay, Okay" Dean held his hands up and followed Sam out the door.

I had just gotten out of the quickest shower I've ever had when I heard the motel door open "Ely" Dean yelled "Bathroom, did you grab my pads?" I asked, The bathroom door opened a crack and a box was chucked in, "Thank you" I yelled "Hurry on, the sheriff figured us out we gotta leave" Dean yelled, I finished getting dressed and walked out of the bathroom, "What the hell happened while you were gone?" I asked.

"Lucas lead you to Peter Sweenys House and you think Bill Carlton killed him, and he willingly took a boat out onto the water?" I said as Dean stopped at a red light "Yep" Sam said "What an Idiot" I muttered as Sam looked at Dean, "Green" he said "What?" "Lights green" I said, Dean turns right "The interstate is the other way" Sam said "I know," he said as he turned the car around "But Dean, this job, I think it's over." Sam said "I'm not so sure." Dean said "If Bill murdered Peter Sweeney and Peter's spirit got its revenge, case closed. The spirit should be at rest. Right?" I said folding my arms on the back of their seats "All right, so what if we take off and this thing isn't done? You know, what if we've missed something? What if more people get hurt?" Dean said "But why would you think that?" Sam asked "Because Lucas was really scared." Dean said glancing at Sam "thats what this is about?" "I just don't want to leave this town until I know the kid's okay." Dean said, Sam and I shared an amused glance "Okay? Who are you? And what have you done with our brother?" Sam asked, I giggled as Dean took his eyes off the road long enough to shoot a glare at Sam, "Shut up"

"Its late Dean they're probably in bed" I said as we walked to the door, "Are you sure about this?" Sam asked as Dean rang the door bell at the same moment a kid Lucas I assume opened the door freaking out "Lucas Lucas?" Dean asked urgently, Lucas took off running Sam and Dean followed I closed the door and ran up the stars In time to see Dean kick in the door, there was water leaking out from under it all over the hallway, Dean held Lucas back while Sam pulled Andrea out of the bathtub.

Sam was sitting with Andrea asking her about what happened in the tub while Dean and I looked through the books on the shelves, "I'm not seeing anything Dean what are we even looking for?" I asked as Dean opened what looked to be an old scrapbook, It had Jake 12 years old on the front, he closed it again and gestured for me to follow him over to Sam and Andrea "Do you recognize the kids in these pictures?" Dean asked opening the book on a page with explorer group 37 glued onto it, I sat in a seat next to Andrea, "What? Um, um, no. I mean, except that's my dad right there. He must have been about twelve in these pictures." She said pointing at a boy standing next to Peter Sweeny if the photo Sam and Dean showed me was correct, "Chris Barr's drowning. The connection wasn't to Bill Carlton. It must have been to the sheriff" Dean said looking at both Me and Sam, "Billandthe sheriff—they were both involved with Peter" Sam said "What about Chris? My dad—what are you talking about?" Andrea said the confusion clear in her tone, "We'd explain but you'd probably think we were crazy most people do" I said with a soft smile as Dean looked sideways and said "Lucas?" We all looked over at the kid who was just staring out the window, "Lucas what is it?" Dean asked as Lucas opened the door and walked out we all followed "Lucas Honey?" Andrea said, Lucas stopped and looked down at the ground, "I'll go get the shovels" I muttered to Sam as Dean told Andrea to go back to the house with Lucas.

I tossed Sam and Dean a shovel each and they started to dig at the ground. I stood off to the side watching. Sam hit something and they dug the rest of the way with their hands and pulled out a red bike, "Didn't you say that Peter had a red bike?" I asked "Yeah" both boys said "Who are you?" A voice said from behind me, Dean quickly pulled me beind him and Sam enough to shield me but not to block my view of the older man in a sheriff's uniform that was pointing a gun at us, I'm going to assume he's Jake. "Put the gun down, Jake" Sam said as both he and Dean dropped their shovels, Huh I was right this is Jake, "how did you know that was there?" Jake asked "What happened? You and Bill killed Peter, drowned him in the lake and then buried the bike? You can't bury the truth, Jake. Nothing stays buried" Dean asked "I don't know what the hell you're talking about." Jake said "You and Bill killed Peter Sweeney thirty-five years ago. That's what the hell I'm talking about." Dean says as Andrea runs over "And now you got one seriously pissed-off spirit." I said that likes the water, this isn't my case "It's gonna take Andrea, Lucas, everyone you love. It's gonna drown them. And it's gonna drag their bodies God knows where, so you can feel the same pain Peter's mom felt. And then, after that, it's gonna take you, and it's not gonna stop until it does." Sam said "Oh and how do you know that?" Jake asked "That what it did to Bill Carlton, His Daughter then his son and then him" I said "Listen to yourselves, the three of you. You're insane." Jake said, I had to restrain myself from face palming, its like we're talking to a brick wall seriously "I don't really give a rat's ass what you think of us. But if we're gonna bring down this spirit, we need to find the remains, salt them, and burn them into dust. Now tell me you buried Peter somewhere. Tell me you didn't just let him go in the lake." Dean said backing up a little, "Dad is any of this true?" Andrea asked "No. Don't listen to them. They're liars and they're dangerous." Jake said "Why do people automatically assume we're lying" I asked "It was rethorical" I said before either of my brother's answered "Something tried to drown me. Chris died on that lake. Dad, look at me." Jake looked at Andrea "Tell me you—you didn't kill anyone" she asked, Jake looked away from her "Oh my god" "Billy and I were at the lake. Peter was the smallest one. We always bullied him, but this time, it got rough. We were holding his head under the water. We didn't mean to. But we held him under too long and he drowned. We let the body go, and it sank." Jake said. Great there goes our only way of stopping him, "Oh, Andrea, we were kids. We were so scared. It was a mistake. But, Andrea, to say that I have anything to do with these drownings, with Chris, because of some ghost? It's not rational" Jake said "All right, listen to me, all of you. We need to get you away from this lake, as far as we can, right now." Dean said, Andrea's eyes caught something behind us and she gasped as Jake yelled "Lucas" Sam, Dean and I turned to see lucas crouching on the edge of the dock reaching into the water. We all took off towards him, I was the fasted getting to the dock before anyone else but not quick enough to grab Lucas, a grey hand shot up and pulled him in, a head peaked out of the water and looked at Jake and disappeared and Sam and Dean ran past me Dean yelling a "Stay on the dock" at me before they both dived head first in, I stopped Andrea as she pulls off her jacket getting ready to dive in "You have to stay here in the dock" I said as she sobbed "no Lucas" she said as Sam resurfaced "My brothers got it okay, its kind of what we do" I said. Dean came up right as Sam went back down and came back up "Sam?" Dean asked, Sam shook his head and they both dived under again, "Peter, if you can hear me...please, Peter, I'm sorry. I'm so—I'm so sorry." I heard Jake say, I looked over to see him in the water "Daddy no" Andrea said "Jake what are you doing you idiot?" I yelled right as Sam and Dean came up for air "Peter. Lucas—he's, he's just a little boy. Please, it's not his fault, it's mine. Please take me." "Jake no" Dean yelled "Just let it be over!" Jake yelled before he was yanked under, Sam and Dean dive under again "Daddy! Daddy! No!" Andrea cried, Sam resurfaced and shook his head making Andrea cry harder as Dean came up with an unmoving g Lucas in his arms.

"Ghosts water every thing I hate in one job" I said as Sam tossed a duffle bag into the trunk Sam chucked and looked at Dean, "We aren't going to save everybody" Sam said "I know" Dean said "Sam, Dean, Ely" Andrea called as she walked over with Lucas who was holding a plate of sandwiches "We're glad we caught you. We just, um, we made you lunch for the road, Lucas insisted on making the sandwiches himself" Andrea said, Lucas looked up at his mom and asked "Can I give it to them now?" Andrea smiled and kissed the top of his head "of course" she said, "Come on, Lucas, let's load this into the car." Dean said grabbing my elbow as I yawned "You need to sleep" he whispered in my ear, I nodded i did just stay up all night, I opened the car door and slid into the back pulling the pillow from my rucksack as Dean talked with Lucas "All right, if you're gonna be talking now, this is a very important phrase, so I want you to repeat it one more time" "Zeppelin Rules" Lucas said, I giggled of course Dean would get him to say that, "That's right. Up high. Take care of your mom okay?" "All right" Lucas said. I closed my eyes and turned so my face was facing the seats "Sam, move your ass. We're gonna run out of daylight before we hit the road" Dean yelled as he got into the drivers seat.
