Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Supernatural characters (Sam & Dean). But I do own Harley and Harrison.
Summary: The Winchester Brothers find themselves in a small town with a big secret, and a spirit that just won't go away. Could this be a step in the right direction to finding what killed their mother and Jess?
AN: This is my first attempt at a Supernatural fic, and I know it's not a very good start, but it'll get better, or at least I hope it does.
"Harley," The shaggy haired brunette started.
"Piss off Harry, I'm not in the mood to talk." His sister snapped at him.
He backed up, hands raised in front of him, "Look, you need to talk about it Harley. It isn't good to let it all build up inside of you."
"Harrison I don't want to talk about it. What don't you understand about that!" Harley exclaimed, her brown eyes blazing.
Harrison flinched, his sister hadn't used his real name in a long time. She always called him Harry, and she was the only one who ever got away with it. He always glared at his parents when they called him Harry. "Whatever Harley. When you need to talk I'll be here."
"Would the two of you take this sibling rivalry out of here! Please!" Steve, the owner of the small diner that Harrison and his sister were in, said. "Or if you're done now, can you get back to work Harrison."
"Sorry Steve." Harrison muttered, looking at his sister, who turned and walked over to one of the tables on the other side of the diner.
Shaking his head he walked into the back, Steve following him. "And what are you and your sister fighting about this time?"
"Same thing as usual. She still won't talk about it."
"Well she won't if you keep pushing her." Steve stated.
"But she needs to talk about it Steve. It's been building up inside of her forever, who knows what could happen." Harrison sighed. "For all we know, she could do the exact same thing our mom did."
"She won't Harrison. Your sister is strong. I hate to say that she's stronger then your mom. But she is and that's a good thing." Steve reassured Harrison.
"But everything that's been happening could break her. Have you seen our town? Everyone's a mess. Harley's worse off because she's been the one that's made the discoveries. She's seen more than all of us, and she wont' talk about it."
"Your sister will talk when she's ready. And until then, you have to sit back, and wait patiently.
"So why are we stopping here again?" Sam Winchester asked his older brother as they came to a stop in front of a small roadside diner.
"One, I'm hungry. Two, in the past year ten people have died mysteriously in this town."
"And you think it has something to do with the supernatural."
"You're a smart boy Sammy." Dean smirked at his younger brother.
Rolling his eyes Sam said, "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Sammy? And what do you think we're dealing with then?"
"I'm not exactly sure." Dean replied getting out of his car.
Sam got out as well, following his brother into the diner. Sam glanced around, the diner was dead, just like the town was. He could only see one other person in the diner, and that was a girl, who looked about the age of sixteen, with straight brown hair, and brown eyes. She sat in a booth in the corner of the diner, furiously scribbling away in a notebook.
She looked up and her eyes connected with Sam's. Sighing she closed her notebook and stood up. Walking past them she leaned over the counter and yelled, "You guys have customers!"
Dean and Sam looked at each other before sitting down. When no one came out of the kitchen the girl rolled her eyes, put her notebook down and hoped over the counter. She pulled out two menus from under the counter and gave Dean and Sam each one. "The best thing on the menu is the house burger." She stated before disappearing into the kitchen.
"Well that was... interesting..." Sam stated looking at the menu.
"It is kinda dead in here. Whoever was suppose to be working, probably got distracted." Dean mused, as the girl walked back out with a man who was at least in his late forties behind her.
"What can I get the two of you?" The man questioned.
"Um..." Sam trailed off looking at the menu. "House burger I guess, and a coffee."
"I'll have the same thing." Dean said from beside him.
The girl smiled before hopping back over the counter. "Do you have to do that?" The guy questioned. "A part of the counter does open so that you can get back here and out."
"But my way is so much more fun."
The guy rolled his eyes and yelled, "Harrison! I need two house burgers!"
"Sure thing boss!" A voice yelled in response from the kitchen.
Silence filled the diner. The girl was now sitting beside Dean, once again writing in her notebook. The owner of the diner was getting Dean and Sam their coffee. Dean and Sam were waiting for the food and coffee. It was ten minutes after they got their coffee that they heard a voice from the back yell, "Burgers are up!"
"Then bring them out here Harrison!" The owner yelled.
A shaggy haired brunette came out from the back, who Dean and Sam were guessing, was Harrison. He had a great resemblance to the girl sitting beside Dean. "First you want me working in the back, then you want me serving the customers." Harrison commented as he put the plates in front of Dean and Sam.
"Well I'm sorry we're not that busy Harrison."
"Would the two of you quit it before you scare away your only customers until one." The girl commented not looking up.
"If anyone scares away the customers it'll be you." Harrison replied.
"Are you sure about that Harry?" She questioned looking up at him.
"Let me guess, the two of you are siblings." Dean mused.
"How would you ever have guessed that?" she questioned looking over at him "Because we look nothing alike."
"Ignore my sister, she has a sarcastic bone, and a stick up her ass." Harrison stated. "Names Harrison. She's Harley. And the owner of this place is Steve, the guy who gave you coffee, and took your order."
"I'm Dean, and this is Sam."
"So what are you doing in our small town?" Harley questioned, looking back down at her notebook.
"Just driving through," Sam stated.
Before anything else could be said the door to the small diner opened, and boy no older then five walked in. "Conner what are you doing here so early?" Harrison questioned.
Harley turned around in her seat and looked at the small boy, his jet black hair stuck up all over, and his crystal blue eyes looked like they were calling out for help. "Conner, honey, what's wrong?" Harley questioned, her entire attitude changing.
"Mommy needs help." Conner stated.
Harley glanced over her shoulder at her brother, before looking at Conner and asking, "Did she lock herself in the bathroom again?"
Conner shook his head.
"Then what did she do now?" Harley questioned.
"Help." Was all Conner said, before turning and leaving the diner.
Sighing Harley stood up, "I'll take care of this one. I'll be back in five. Steve you know Alice, we're going to need one of your famous veggie soups."
"Don't take to long." Steve replied, as Harley left the diner, catching up to Conner.
"Small town crisis." Harrison explained looking at the two confused customers.
"Ok..." Sam trailed off looking at Dean who was currently taking a bite of his burger. "Do you know where we could find a cheap hotel, or motel?"
Harrison looked at Steve, "There's only one in this town, and its not very cheap. If you're looking for a place to stay, people in this town would be more than eager to put you up in their house for free." Harrison stated. "Hell, I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind having you guys stay with us. We do have a spare room just sitting vacant."
"You sure it's a good idea to offer your house?" Steve questioned.
"My dad won't mind Steve. You know that."
"It's not your dad I'm worried about." Steve replied disappearing into the kitchen.
Harrison rolled his eyes. "If you don't feel comfortable staying at someone's house, you can always check out the motel, but I'm not promising anything."
"If you're sure your dad wouldn't mind having us stay in your guest room, I'm sure that will be fine. We only to a place to stay until tomorrow morning." Sam stated warily.
"When Harley get's back I'll get her to bring the two of you over there."
"Conner stay out here ok?" Harley said as she came up to the small house.
"OK Harley." Conner replied sitting down on the steps in front of the house.
Harley smiled, and ruffled Conner's already messy hair. Walking into the house she yelled, "Alice!"
Getting no reply Harley walked further into the house. "Alice! Answer me! I can't help you if you don't help me find you."
'Must be locked in the bathroom again,' Harley mused to herself. "Look if you locked yourself in the bathroom again, don't be embarrassed. That door is messed up, you know that. It's most likely just jammed again."
She walked towards the back of the house, towards the bathroom. Her eyebrows knitted in confusion at the bathroom door open a crack, and the light on. Tilting her head to the side Harley pushed opened the bathroom door, her heart stopping at the site before her.
"How did you like the burgers?" Harrison questioned Dean and Sam, as he took the plates and put them in a bin sitting behind him.
"Best burger I've had in a while." Dean mused.
"Is it always this dead around here?" Sam questioned
"Yup. When one rolls around everyone ends up coming here for lunch, and your every day gossip. When school's in, there's no one here. The town at times can be considered a ghost town."
"Harrison! Is Harley back yet?" Steve yelled from the kitchen.
"Nope, did you hear her come back in?" Harrison replied.
"She sure is taking her time helping Al-" Steve was cut off by the sound of sirens outside. Coming out of the kitchen he looked at Harrison, and then out the window. "What the hell is going on out there."
"Looks like an ambulance and police car are headed toward's Alice's place." Harrison stated already out the door.
"Where do you think your going Harrison?" Steve questioned.
"Where you would go if you didn't have customers." Harrison replied, before the door closed behind him.
"This can't be good." Steve muttered to himself, wanting to go see what was going on, after all Alice was his daughter. "Are the two of you done?" he questioned turning to Dean and Sam.
"I am." Dean replied, pulling his wallet out of his pocket.
"No, your lunch was free." Steve stated. "First lunches are always free here. Only way I can guarantee that my customers will come back. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to have to kick you out until I find out what's going on out there."
"No problem at all." Sam said standing up
"You guys might as well follow me to see what's going on out there. Everyone else in this town probably already has gathered there."
Sam and Dean looked at each other and followed Steve, both figuring they might as well find out as much as they could about the town, to find out the truth about the mysterious deaths. They followed Steve just a little ways away from the diner to where a group of people stood.
"Harrison!" Steve yelled spotting the brunette.
When Harrison turned around he looked at the group with grim look. "What's going on Harrison?" Steve questioned.
"I don't know." Harrison replied. "All I know is it isn't good."
"Conner!" They heard a female voice yell, they immediately pinned the voice to Harley. Seconds after the yell, they saw the small boy run past them, Harley following close behind.
Conner ran right up to Steve, who bent down and picked up his grandson. "I want mommy." Conner cried into his grandfather's shoulder.
Harley's eyes connected with Steve's, "I'm sorry." she whispered, before turning around and heading back towards the house.
"Harley!" Harrison yelled after his sister, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Was he suppose to go after his sister? Or comfort his friend?
Dean looked over at Sam. "Now do you agree that something supernatural is going on here?" He questioned.
"Who says I didn't agree with you before?" Sam asked in response.
"Can I get you boys another cup of coffee?" A woman in her late sixties questioned walking up to the table the brothers sat at.
"That would be great." Dean smiled at her.
"Such a pity." She sighed pouring them their coffee. "Alice was such a young girl, and Conner was her pride and joy. She vowed to never leave him. Steve and Conner only have each other now."
"Emma, has Harley come in yet?" Harrison questioned walking over.
"No, hun, I haven't seen your sister since the whole thing at Alice's."
Harrison nodded. "I guess she's off thinking. Thanks for helping out by the way. Steve's a mess. We might have to close this place up for a little while."
"Oh nonsense Preston. Eric and Adam will come in and help run things until Steve gets back on his feet." Emma stated.
"Emma, it's Harrison. Not Preston. Preston is my middle name, and my father's name." Harrison clarified.
"Did I call you Preston?" Emma questioned.
Harrison nodded.
"I'm sorry dear. I'm getting on in my age, and forgetting things."
"That's ok Emma, go pour some more coffee." Emma nodded and walked off, leaving Harrison with Dean and Sam. "I'm sorry that I haven't gotten the chance to bring you to my family's place. It's been kind of hectic today."
"That's ok. We understand." Sam replied.
"Mind if I sit down with you guys?" Harrison questioned.
"Not at all." Dean replied, as Harrison sat down beside Sam.
"This year has been crazy." Harrison stated drumming his fingers on the table.
"How so?" Sam questioned.
"Our towns falling apart." Harrison replied.
"Looks like it's in pretty good shape to me." Dean mused.
"Not in that sense." Harrison sighed. "So much has happened in so little time, it just doesn't feel right."
"Harrison, you're sister's coming up to the diner." One of the other teenagers in the diner stated.
"Thanks for telling me Adam." Harrison replied standing up. "When things settle down here a bit I'll take the two of you to my family's place and get you settled for the rest of the day."
"Sounds good." Dean said as Harrison walked away, and out of the diner's door to greet his sister.
"So what do you think's killing all these people?" Sam questioned.
"I don't know yet." Dean replied looking out the window, ahead of him. "I still have to link the death's together, to see if I can come up with a conclusion. For now their still mysterious deaths."
"Don't you think it would of been better to do all that before we got here?"
"Being prepared doesn't always help Sam." Dean stated. "Their worse than us."
"What?" Sam asked confused.
"Harrison and Harley. They fight worse than us." Dean nodded towards where the siblings were arguing outside.
Sam turned and looked out the window to see Harley's face red from yelling, her eyes glossed over. Harrison's face was just as red, as he yelled right back. They watched as Harley broke down beating her fists against her brother's chest, who now stood there taking it as if it were nothing new.
"She looks like she's about ready to kill him." Dean mused.
"No, she looks like she's just venting." Sam replied.
"Hi, I'm Conner." The boy from earlier said, as he made his way to the table.
Sam smiled down at him, "I'm Sam, and that's my brother Dean."
"Do you know where my mommy is?" Conner questioned looking up at Sam. "No one will tell me where she is. And Grandpa won't stop crying."
Sam glanced at Dean, "Well you see..."
"You're mom went up to a great place." A voice said from off to the side. Dean, Sam, and Conner looked up to see Harley standing there, Harrison standing behind her.
"What do you mean?" Conner questioned.
Harley sighed and reached out her hand, "Come on kiddo lets go find your grandpa and I'll tell you where your mom went."
"You ok man?" Dean asked Harrison as Harley walked of with Conner. "Your sister looked about ready to kill you."
"I'm fine, we just had our usual screaming match, and then I let her vent. So are the two of you ready to go? I'll walk you over to the house and then you guys can walk back here and get your car after."
"Lead the way." Dean stated standing up, Sam doing the same.
Harrison nodded and led the two out of the diner and down the street to a rather large house not to far away. Walking up to the door Harrison unlocked it and walked inside. "I'll give you guys a tour of the place later, but the guest room is down the hall and on your right, I have to make a quick call."
"OK..." Sam trailed off as Harrison disappeared into a room on their left. "This house is kind of big and creepy."
"Wouldn't be surprised if it was haunted." Dean agreed.
The brothers walked down the hall and to the room they were directed to, where they sat down and figured out a plan to find out what they wanted to know.
AN: Sucky, I know, but leave a review anyway! Please.
