Chapter 21: Hunting, What Lies in the Woods
It was four fourty five and Sam and Dean was waiting on Chloe with the layouts. They counted out their materials as they laid them out on the table.
"Alright we have silver bullets, holy water, our regular hunting knives, and last but not least the holy bible. All in which are known to kill or do whatever to a demon," Dean said examining the items.
"Alright all we need are the layouts and we'll be on our way."
"Where is she anyway, she should be here by now," asked Dean puttng the items in the duffle bag.
"I don't know."
"Hey check this out," Dean said motioning his little brother to come to where he's at. "You see this bullet right here. In it is filled with holy water. When dad and I went to Alabama to fight off some bad case of vampires, we had to make these to do a two in one special. When it hit them, it heats up and explodes. Killing them from the inside out. Amazing once you see it. Hopefully if we catch the sucker, you'll see this baby magic. Enough though it might slow the sucker down, it'll give us the chance to chop it's head off," Dean finished, admiring the bullet. Sam smiled and went to go answer the door once he heard someone knocking. "I got a whole case of them."
"Chloe you're here, we almost thought you was going to forget," Sam said closing the door behind her.
"No, I just had some trouble getting it that's all."
Chloe laid the layouts on the table and they all look over it.
"Great, let's go," Chloe said balling up the papers.
"Ah, Chloe I think it would be best if you stay here," Sam said grabbing the layouts from her.
"What! After all I done for you guys and helped you out, you are going to exclude me from tracking down the demon."
"Like I said earlier, you'll be in the way," Dean said walking pass her.
"I won't, I know how to handle myself okay. Come on let me come with you."
"Chloe, it's too dangerous."
"You guys aren't going to let me come are you?"
"Nope," Dean said smiling.
"Fine," she said walking out of the door.
"Women," Dean said stuffing more items in the bag.
"You sure you got everthing in there?"
"Yeah, who do you think I am? I have done this a lot longer then you have Sammy."
"It's Sam and I know you have but I just want to make sure, you know."
"Yeah yeah."
Dean grabbed the duffle bag and his jacket and head out the door. Sam was behind him and they got into the car. They throw their bags in the back and went on their way. They was almost in the woods and Dean and Sam was getting anxious.
"Do you think we should call Chloe to let her know we're almost to the woods," asked Sam.
"If she pick up the phone," was all Dean said.
Sam dig in his pocket to get his phone. He pushed talk on the phone and put it to his ear. The phone started ranging. Once it started, there was a ringing in the back. Sam frowned when he saw his brother looking at him and then to the back. Dean pulled over to the side so he could look in the back. Moving their bags out of the way. They saw Chloe huddled in a ball in the back.
"What the hell," Dean said looking at Chloe as she sat up.
"You guys actually thought you're going to leave me out of this, well think again."
"Chloe you don't know what we're up against, it's to dangerous," Sam warning her again.
"I'll take my chances."
"You do know that we won't be watching you if we do come in contact with the demon," Dean said.
"I know, guys could we go already, we're wasting time with you lecturing me on coming. I can handle myself okay."
Sam and Dean gave each other glances before Dean pull the car back on the dirt road. Chloe sat in the back smiling at her victory in coming with them. They were only ten minutes away from meeting their destination and all play time was over. When they arrived at the woods, they decided to park away from Mrs. Parker's house. To avoid her calling the police again. Sam and Dean got out the car, followed by Chloe and grabbed their things. Dean handed Sam a gun, a knife, and some extra bullets. He did the same for himself. Chloe just watched them as they prepared themselves.
"Hey, what about me," she said holding her hand out.
Dean rolled his eyes and handed her a gun. He hesitate before giving her a loaded gun. "You do know how to use a gun don't you?"
"Yes." Both Winchesters lift up their eyes brows stuned. "I'll tell you later, now give me the gun." Dean put the gun on safety lock just in case and went to zip up the bag. He placed it on his shoulders and put the gun in the back of his pants.
"So this is how it feel to go hunting for the supernatural," Chloe smiled.
Both Winchester smiled at the admiration in Chloe's eyes and turned to go into the woods. Chloe was right behind them. Sam pulled out the layouts and started to interpret where they were. When he found it, they continue moving. For four hours, they checked nearly all the houses on the layout. Not a single houses out of places according to the layout. They stopped to take a break from their little hike to drink some water, Chloe happenly brought with her. It was night and it was starting to get colder. They decided to keep on searching until two'oclock in the morning to give up and continue the search tomorrow.
It was twelve fifteen now and still no sign of a demon. They sat down in an opening in the woods to take another break.
"I can't believe we haven't found anything yet," Chloe said breathing hard.
"I guess it's not going to show it's self today," Sam said drinking some water.
"Come on, two more hours of this and we're out of here," Dean said looking at which way to go.
Suddenly there was a loud scream coming from behind them. They all turned around and ran towards the screams. The screams were yelling out a name as they grew closer to whoever was making it. A guy was screaming his lungs out in the woods with only his flashlight. "Jeff," he screamed. Sam, Dean, and Chloe reached him and he jumped.
"You scared me," he said looking at them. "What are you doing in the woods at this time of night."
"Funny we were about to ask you the same thing," Dean said.
"I was looking for my friends, Jeff, Chris, and Lisa, but somehow I lose them."
Sam and Dean gave each other looks. Telling each other that they know what that means. "Alright...," Dean started.
"John, John Lahane."
"Alright John, Chloe is going to get you out of here while we go search for your friends okay."
"Hey why can't I go with you," Chloe said.
"Because we need you to get John out of here that's why,' Dean said getting annoyed.
"We shouldn't split up. What if ...whatever got his friends, come and get us."
"Dean she's right. We shouldn't be splitting up. Not when it's dark out."
"Fine, just stay behind us," Dean argued back.
They walked slowly, carefully watching for any signs of the demon or John's friends. It was quiet and with the moon being blocked by the trees, they hardly had any lights besides their flashlights. Sam and Dean had there guns pointed and ready. If the demon was to jump out at them they would be ready.
"You guys should be carefully where you're pointing those things, what if you shot one of my friends?"
"No offense John but you guys shouldn't be in the woods anyway since people are going missing in them," Sam said not looking back at John.
"Besides we know how to handle our them, we won't shot anybody," Dean finished off.
Suddenly there was a rattle in the bushes behind a tree. Sam and Dean aimed their guns in the that direction and slowly started to walk over to it. It rattle somemore as they inched closer to it. Dean counted down on his fingers and on three they jumped behind it. A woman was squat down hiding her face. Sam reached for her and she jumped.
"We're not going to hurt you,' Sam said moving his gun out from in front of him.
"Lisa," John pushed between them. Lisa ran up and hugged John, while Sam, Dean, and Chloe watched.
"Where's Chris and Jeff,' asked John.
"I don't know, something grabbed them and we were seperated."
"Do you know where they went," asked Chloe.
"It dragged Jeff over there, behind those two trees."
Sam and Dean started moving towards that directions, with Chloe, Lisa and John behind them. They barely listen to the conversation that was happening behind them.
"Oh, Lisa I'm sorry for dragging you guys out here. I should of known it was a bad idea."
"John, you couldn't possible known this was going to happen. We all knew about it and we should of talked you out of it."
"I know but still, it was wrong."
"It's okay John."
"Yeah John, once we find your friends, you guys can go back living normal lives," Chloe said patting John on the back. Dean looked back at her and she shrudded her shoulders. He shook his head and went back to face the front.
"I know you must of been scared out there alone in the woods,' John continued.
"Yeah. I was. I don't like being alone in the woods."
"Your fear is a weakness, Lisa."
Sam and Dean stopped in their tracks once they heard those five words. They turned around at John and he was smiling. He pushed Chloe back and grabbed Lisa and ran into the woods. Dean followed him as Sam helped Chloe up.
"You'll alright," he said dusting her off.
"Yeah."
They followed where Dean and John went in the woods. It was getting darker and the flashlights weren't doing much help. They heard Lisa scream and headed in the direction from where it was coming from. When they got to where they could see Dean, Sam pointed his gun to John and Chloe ran to get Lisa. John was holding Dean by the throat and holding him up. His eyes were examining him. They were red now and soon his whole body turned to the demon creature.
"Samm...shot already," Dean managed to get out.
"I can't Dean, I don't have a clear shot. What if he turn you in front of him."
Chloe and Lisa was behind the demon and Dean. Chloe looked down at her gun in her hand and pointed it at the demon. She pulled the trigger but nothing happened. She looked down at the gun and forgot that Dean put it on safety. She unlocked it and pointed it back to the demon. The demon heard the clicking sound and sneared at Chloe. He tighten his grip on Dean's throat before throwing him quickly towards Sam. They both felled and stumbled on the ground. The demon was infront of Chloe by the time she held the gun up to shot him. It knocked the gun out of her hands and threw her towards a tree. Chloe screamed before hitting her shoulder against the tree. The demon grabbed Lisa and dragged her away from them and disappeared. Even while Lisa was being dragged her screamed died out when it disappeared. Sam and Dean got up quickly off the ground. Dean coughed a little to get some air back to his throat. They ran back to where the demon had been before and looked around. No one was there. Even no sigh of Chloe.
"Chloe," Sam said yelled.
"Chl...," Dean tried to yell, but his throat was still hurting him.
They turned around to hear a moaning sound. "Chloe," Sam yelled again. They ran to where they heard the continous moaning and saw Chloe laying on her back. They both leaned over her on each side. Chloe slowly opened her eyes to see them leaning over her, she put on a hurt smile.
"Did you get it," she said fadely.
"No. Are you hurt, did he did anything to you," Sam asked. They both looked around her to make sure she wasn't bleeding or anything.
"Besides being thrown against a tree, I'm peachy," she said smiling weakly.
"Can you move," Dean asked in a little whisper.
"I think so. Ahhh," Chloe screamed as she tried to get up.
"What, what is it," Dean said finally getting his voice back.
"My shoulder," Chloe said with tears in her eyes.
Dean reached over and touched her right shoulder. Chloe flinched when he touched it. He looked over to his brother who had a concern look on his face. They looked back down at Chloe who started to moan again. Her eyes were slowly closing.
"Chloe, no don't close your eyes, stay with us," Dean said holding her head with comfort. He now noticed the little scrap on her forehead but looked away to focus on Chloe. She smiled at him.
"Dean I didn't know you cared."
"I don't, remember."
Chloe closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. The last thing she heard was Sam and Dean talking.
"Come on we got to get her out of here," Sam said.
'Yeah. Be carefully of her shoulder, it might be..."
Then there was silences.
