By: Bed of Thorns
Episode 2
The battle lines
Sam stuck Katharine inside the back seat of the 67 Chevy Impala and Sam got into the passenger seat Dean who was in the rivers seat. Stepped on the gas and drove off into the night.
"What the hell is going on?" Katharine shouted at the two young men. Dean blinked and looked over at Sam.
"What do you think those things back there are?" Dean asked his green-grey eyes staring at the road ahead.
Katharine looked at them before answering "Zombies or vampires?" Katharine answered meekly. Sam turned around and looked at Katharine.
"How can you tell?" he asked not looking all that surprised.
"Well he had fangs. I remember seeing them. Plus the whole popping out of the grave was a no brainier" Katharine answered rolling her eyes.
Dean smirked at that, she was sarcastic even in their situation.
"Where do you live?" Sam asked deciding it was best to keep the eye on the goal here which at the moment was getting Katharine to safety.
"In a house" Katharine replied, resisting an eye roll. In truth she was quite scared but she did not expose emotions easily, she was really sarcastic when she was nervous or scared.
"Up on Rose creek Drive I will point to the house when you drive up" Katharine answered.
Sam and Dean simply nodded and Dean continued to drive taking a moment to look at the girl in the mirror.
She had plain brown hair that went a bit passed her shoulders and plain brown eyes. She was quite pale and was about 5'1. She had on a black zip up sweater, a grey shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans.
She was pretty, not his type of girl but still pretty.
"You never did answer my question" Katharine stated looking at the two young men.
Katharine stopped and began to look at the two young men closely. They both looked her age but they looked a nothing alike.
Sam was tall with shaggy brown hair. He had dark brown eyes and a clean shaven face. He had on baggy pants and a dark brown jacket. His face looked tired and worn.
Dean was different, he was not that tall about 5'8 and had dark brown hair and either green or brown eyes it was hard to tell. He may have been shorten than his accomplice but he looked stronger more capable.
"Well what do you want to know?" Sam asked her.
"Who are you would be nice, besides knowing that you are Dean and Sam" Katharine stated watching them both.
Sam looked over at Dean and Dean just looked at Sam giving him the answer to Sam's silent question.
"We are brothers, Winchester brothers to be exact" Dean answered for Sam. Katharine nodded noticing how gruff Dean's voice was.
Dean then turned the wheel down the street marked Rose Creek Drive and continued on.
"This is my stop" Katharine said pointing to a small rather trashy house.
Sam nodded and turned to Katharine. "Be careful thank you for helping us . . . what is your name?" Sam asked.
"It's Katharine" she answered and turned to Dean and simply nodded before getting out and slamming the door shut.
Katharine walked up to the front door opened it and shut it behind her softly.
Katharine stepped in slowly. The house was dark and eerie. Katharine gulped and looked around her heart pounding fearing her abusive father's wrath.
Katharine felt her way to the living room and saw that the TV was on but her father was not in his usual seat.
Katharine walked up to the TV. and turned it off. Sh stopped when she felt something on her arm . . . something warm and wet.
Katharine looked up and she let out a scream for the third time that night.
Her father was up on the ceiling. His eyes were milk wide and his mouth was hanging open. His stomach was slashed open and blood was dripping from it.
Suddenly the ceiling was starting to get caught on fire, trailing down on her walls all around her.
Dean watched Katharine enter her house and shut the door behind her.
Dean then leaned back and closed his eyes. "Whats next Sam?" asked Dean.
Sam leaned down and turned on his laptop and responded. "There is something in Alkali Lake, known as creatively as Alkali Lake Monster it is in Nevada sound good?" Sam asked.
Dean nodded and opened his eyes "tell me more" Dean stopped when he heard a scream coming from Katharine's house.
Dean saw that the top of the house was being lit on fire and he turned to Sam.
"Lets go" Dean yelled hurriedly getting out of his car Sam not far from behind.
Dean ran towards Katharine's front door and turned the knob. Dean drew back his hand and cursed. "Jesus it's already hot" Dean said before he turned to Sam.
"We have to break it down" Sam answered. Dean nodded and they both stood back and turned to each other.
"On the count of three" Dean said. Sam's eyes drilled into the front door.
"Lets move . . . 1" Dean and Sam got into position ". . . 2" Dean's eyes glared into the door ". . . 3" Sam and Dean with all their strength ran into the door and burst it into splinters.
Immediately the brothers were met with bursts of flames.
"Katharine" Dean yelled, his voice ringing through the house.
Katharine gasped and narrowly dodged a part of the flaming falling ceiling. "In here" she said before going into a fit of coughs.
Dean hit Sam on the arm and Sam nodded before they ran into the living room dodging flaming pieces of ceiling and bursts of flames.
Dean caught sit of Katharine and grabbed her arm. Katharine looked up at Dean and grabbed onto his arm.
"We need to get out of here" Sam yelled.
"Not until I get Billy" Katharine yelled letting go of Dean and began to move. Sam grabbed her.
"Where is Billy?" he asked her.
"In his room I put him to bed before I left" She answered panic in her eyes.
"I'll get him, you get her out of here" Dean said moving past his brothers and up the stairs.
Dean ran up the stairs, almost falling through one of them until he got onto the second floor. "Billy?" he yelled running through the hallway. "Help me" a young distressed voice called out.
"Where are you Billy?" Dean yelled.
"In the room" Billy went into a fit of coughs "at the end of the hall I cannot open my door" he said.
Dean looked down the hall and saw the door and ran up to it and kicked it open. The door went into splinters and Dean saw a small boy about seven or eight years old standing there in his pajamas looking confused as ever.
"Come the house is going down we have to get you out of here" Dean said picking up the boy.
"Wait my sister Kat where is she?" Billy said looking at him.
"You mean Katharine?" Dean said making sure. Billy nodded and Dean yelled out "she is with my brother you are in safe hands" Dean said as he exited the room and went down the hallway and to the stairs.
Dean brought the boy nearer to him, incase something fell he would be able to protect him.
Dean stepped off the stairs when a huge piece of ceiling fell on them. Dean made a move and got Billy out not with out injuring his arm from a sharp piece of glass.
Dean gasped and stood up grabbing Billy and ran out of the house before it completely collapsed.
Katharine was in tears when she saw Dean carrying out Billy. Ripping herself from Sam's grasp she ran over to Dean and took Billy out of his arms and set him down and hugged Billy.
"I thought I almost lost you" she whispered to Billy.
Dean smiled and looked down at Katharine who looked as thought she was never going to let him go.
Katharine let go of her brother and stood up. She looked over and smiled at Sam and Dean. "Thank you . . . thank you so much" she said shaking. Dean smiled and nodded.
"We are just doing our job" Dean said giving hr a cocky smirk hiding his pain.
Katharine's face fell "you are hurt" she said looking down at his arm. Dean looked down and frowned.
"Just a scratch" he said, Katharine rolled her eyes. "Where do you both stay I can take care of this" she said.
Sam nodded "get in the car" he said taking Dean's keys away from him. "I'm driving" he said with a small grin.
"I do not need you to clean it" Dean said as he tried to get away from Katharine. Katharine slammed the alcohol on the table.
"Fine you jerk forgets it" she growled at him.
"Let her do it Dean" Sam called from the other bed. Billy was currently sleeping in Sam's bed.
He watched her as she gently dabbed the cotton ball on his cut.
Dean and Katharine were sitting on a bed in the motel room she was currently cleaning his room.
"This is one nasty cut" she commented shaking her head with disapproval.
"Well if you hadn't of lit your house on fire it would not have happened" Dean snapped at her. Already angry about it Katharine glared at him and took the alcohol bottle and poured it on his wound.
Trying to forget the pain Dean then leaned towards her "You need to tell me how he died" Dean whispered to her.
"I do not need to tell you anything" she answered him shaking her head no and continued on his cut.
"Hey I saved your life now your dad's death could be bigger than this. Now tell me now!" Dean snapped at her. She growled and looked up at him.
"Well I came in the living room and well . . . I felt something wet on my arm. It was blood. I looked up and saw that my father" she stopped and gotten a clean cotton ball and wetted it with alcohol and continued "had his stomach slashed open and then the ceiling went on fire and well you can guess the rest" she finished.
Dean paled and stopped her hand and looked at her. She glared hard at him and he smirked "good girl" he said. Dean looked over and saw that Sam was watching. Sam was glaring at him disapproving.
"Got to go love" Dean said patting her on the head. She swatted at him but missed him as he walked off with Sam.
The brothers stepped outside and Sam looked at Dean.
"What the hell was that?" Sam asked Dean.
Dean frowned "what was what?" he asked.
"You acted like a total jack ass in there a jerk to her like that man. You never act like that not with other girls" Sam said.
Dean rolled his eyes "oh don't go play Doctor Phil with me. Now what do you want?" Dean snapped his bad mood emerging again.
"You know she has to come with us" Sam said.
"Oh hell no" Dean said shaking his head.
"She has no where else to go, her house burned down everything. She saw the same thing. I think we should keep her around" Sam answered.
"Alright, we will keep her around till us get to where ever she needs to go, like to live with a relative" Dean responded.
Sam nodded and held out a hand "deal?" Sam asked raising an eyebrow. Dean sighed and took Sam's hand "deal".
The brothers reentered the room and watched Katharine putting away the things.
"Katharine we are prepared to give you an offer. You can travel with us until you can get to where you need to go" Sam said getting to the point.
Katharine blinked and looked at them. "Are you serious?" she asked. Sam nodded and gave her a small smile. "Do you have a place?" he asked. Katharine nodded "yah my mothers"
"Then we leave in the mourning now we do have to make some stops you know the whole hunting thing" Sam said. Katharine nodded and smiled at Sam and then turned to Dean and glared at him and he glared back.
The battle lines between them were drawn and Sam knew it.
