Under Your Skin
Chapter 4
Slowly the fake Sam, which everybody knew was the shape shifter, took one step down the stairs at a time. Helpless Meghan went with him. She was very petrified. What would this thing do to her? Will it kill her? Torture her? Make her his mate?
The shape shifter reached the end of the stairs. Dean and Sam blocked the door from them escaping. "Move," said the shape shifter. Dean and Sam stood their ground. "I don't think you heard me," said the fake Sam. His grip tightened on Meghan. She started coughing. She was turning blue. No air could she inhale.
Her father had collapsed on the floor from the shock, so he was of no help. "Fa-ther," Meghan gasped out after her eyes had shut.
Sam and Dean had no choice. They lowered their guns and stepped aside. The fake Sam smiled. "You're weaklings," he said. He dragged Meghan out by her hair. She didn't even notice. From lack of air, she had fainted.
The fake Sam laughed then disappeared into the night. Sam and Dean called the cops and an ambulance, until they too went out into the night. "We have to find her!" Dean said. "Yes, and when we do, we kill the son of a bitch," said Sam.
They ran into their car, turned on the engine and sped away. "Where to start?" asked Dean. Sam was looking out the window for any sign. "Wait. Stop the car," he said. Dean slammed o the brakes. "What is it?" asked Dean. "I think I saw something," he said.
Sam got out of the car. "Stay here," said Sam. Dean did. the engine idled silently.
Sam walked over to the side of the road. What he found made his own blood freeze. Looking down, there were human body parts lying in a pile. In it was a heart, a lung, a hand, an arm, a leg, and an eyeball, all bloodied up. "This must be from another victim. Oh, I think I'm going to vomit," he said. Then he did.
"Are you okay?" called Dean. "Oh yeah, I'm just fine," answered Sam. He got into the car still a little woozy. "What did you see?" asked Dean putting the engine into drive. "Oh, just some parts," Sam said. He gagged. "Don't you throw up in my car," Dean said. "I'll make you sorry you did," said Dean before speeding away. "So, if you were a shape shifter, where would you be?" asked Sam. "Cemetery," said Dean. He accelerated on the gas down the country road clouded in darkness of the forest.
Meghan, on the other hand, was starting to wake up. She slowly opened her eyes. She saw a ceiling. "Unh," she moaned. After getting her eyes adjusted to the candle light around her, she looked around. She was in some sort of cave. She tried to sit up, but her hands were bound by chains.
Then she got a good look at where her body was. The bastard had changed her clothes. She was out of her street clothes and now in a red silk evening gown. Her hair had been taken down from the high ponytail she always wore it in. It surrounded her body.
Around her were black candles; all lit, with what she guessed was blood leaking over the table she was currently lying on. On the floor around her was a star with a circle surrounding it. "Witchcraft," she said. She had saw the same symbol in her books.
"It's called a pentagram," said a voice. there waling down the stone steps was the shape shifter still in Sam's form. He was wearing a black robe with a hood. In his hands he carried a very fine blade. It had rubies in the handle. "What are you going to do with me?" asked Meghan looking back at the ceiling.
The shape shifter smiled. He walked over to her and put the tip of the blade beneath her throat. She gasped at the coldness of the blade. "You are the bait to lure those two to me, so I can kill them," he said. Meghan narrowed her eyes.
"Oh so that's your whole plan? Kidnap me then use me as bait just for those two?" she yelled. She struggled on her wrists, but stopped when he cut her arm. She screamed.
Looking down her arm, she saw that he had cut a pattern in her left arm. The cut was in the shape of an "X." Blood poured from her new wound, it wouldn't stop flowing. It flowed onto the floor. The pentagram started to shine.
Meghan sighed and panted heavily. "You know you're going to die," she said. "Dean and Sam will get you, and kill you. It's what you deserve!" she hollered at him. The shape shifter walked over to her. She looked at him, He transformed into Dean this time. Then he heard car doors slam. He smiled. "They're here," he said. Meghan's eyes glittered with hope. He undid the chains that bound her wrists. She sat up and tried to run, but her legs gave out on her. She fell to the blood soaked floor.
The shape shifter lifted her up by her arm. She tugged her arm out of his reach. "Don't touch me you freak," she sneered. For that she received a slap to the face. "Not now, we have company," he said. He grabbed her wrist and made her stand beside him. Then his hand found it's way to her hip. The knife was placed on her back. "No funny stuff," he said. Meghan frowned.
Then in walked Dean and Sam. They saw Meghan and the shifter standing in the middle of the glowing pentagram. "Whoa," said Dean stopping on the steps. "Now's he's me," said Dean stunned. "Yeah, fucking weird isn't it? But at least Meg's alive, " said Sam.
"Welcome my friends, I was wondering what was keeping you," said the shape shifter smiling. Dean and Sam walked closer and closer. Sam eyes found their way over to Meghan. She looked absolutely stunning. She saw this and smiled. The shifter also saw this.
"Getting acquainted are we?" asked the fake Dean looking from Sam to Meghan. Meghan widened her eyes. "Well, not for long," he said.
He took the blade off her back and put it to her throat. "Now lose the weapons," he said seriously. Dean and Sam knew the routine. "Fine," said Dean. It was weird talking to another him. They dropped their guns on the floor and kicked them away. "Good, now be good and kneel down," he said.
"What do you want with them?" asked Meghan. "I want revenge," he replied. "Revenge? What is he talking about?" she asked the brothers.
He must me the other shifter we killed about 3 weeks ago in another town." said Dean. "Yes, you finally understand. He was my brother and now he's dead. He's dead because all he wanted was happiness and you took it away form him. Now I'm going to take your happiness away from you, simple as that. you can understand, after all your brothers, just like I was, " said the shape shifter.
Meghan was not going to stand for this. No way was she going to let them get killed. Time to take things into her own hands. She stomped hard on the freak's foot. He cried out in pain. Then she flipped him over. The knife went flying in the air. Dean and Sam acted quickly. They dove for their guns.
They got their guns and shot the shifter at the same time. They struck him in the stomach area. He fell backwards and bled out onto the floor where the pentagram was. But he was still breathing. The pentagram was glowing brighter and brighter. The shape shifter took his real form. Just a huge piece of skin with a mouth. "I will get my revenge. You will die by my hands!" it said.
Meghan came over with the knife in her hands. She bent down. "No. You will die by my hand," she said. Then she stabbed the creature several times until she knew it was dead. Sam and Dean didn't stop her.
Meghan stood up covered in the creature's red blood. The good news? The shape shifter was dead. The bad news? Breaking the news to her father that Meghan was the one who killed him. Her dad never did like blood and all that shit. Meghan walked over to Sam and Dean. "I so need a shower," she said. They all laughed.
"So, should we get rid of the body?" asked Sam. "What body?" asked Dean. Sam and Meghan turned around. Nothing was there. Just an empty cave. Everything was gone. They left the cave, all got into Dean's car, and headed for Meghan's house.
In the car, Meghan and Sam took the backseat. She was so tired. Her head was on Sam's lap. She had fallen asleep. Her chest went up and down very slowly. He smiled down at the sleeping beauty in his lap. the smell of blood had filled the car, but they ignored it.
Sam couldn't stop looking at her. Am I falling in love with her? asked Sam's mind. NO! I have to find Jessica's killer first before I fall in love again!
"I'm going to have a tough time getting blood out of the car," said Sam to Dean silently. He was trying to change the subject. "I know," said Dean. Dean smiled.
