Chapter 23: Thoughts and Plans

Sam's ears were alert when he realized he wasn't asleep. Though his eyes were still closed, he could feel the warmth of the sun on his body. At this moment his body was at peace. The first night from any other night, Sam slept through it. Even though they spent the rest of the night in the woods, looking for the demon. No dream to haunt him awake early in the morning nor the feel of waking up with cold sweat and agonizing headaches. He was at peace this time and he didn't want to get up. Until a clicking noise stir interrupted his peace. Clicking sounds, there was only one thing he knew that could make that noise. Angerly opening his eyes, he turned to see Dean carefully cleaning and loading his gun while examining them. Looking up from his work, Dean smiled and brought his attention back to his gun. Sam groan as he sat up from the bed and rub the sleep from his eyes.

"Dean do you have to do that while I'm sleeping?"

"Oh, you was sleeping, I haven't really notice," Dean smiled and blew into the barrel of the gun. "Beside it's ten thirty in the morning. There was nothing on tv and I got bored. So I showered, cleaned and loaded three guns, and now I'm on the fourth one."

"What time did you get up?"

"What time do you think? I'm so use of you waking me up at five o'clock in the morning to tell me about your freaky dreams, that I woke up at five o'clock in the morning. I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Hey, if you wanted to sleep like sleeping beauty, then sleep away. Lord knows you need it."

"Dean man, why didn't you wake me up? You know we have to go and get Chloe from the hospital and get a head start in finding this demon before it take its last victim and then vanish without a trace," Sam said getting some clothes and headed toward the bathroom."

"Well, thanks Dean for letting me sleep late, you know I really appreciate it. You welcome Sam," Dean mimickly said under his breath. He stood up and followed Sam to the bathroom. "Honestly Sam, do we have to bring Chloe along. You saw what happened, she'll only slow us down."

"That wasn't her fault. And anyway, she's not coming with us this time. She's smart, I don't think she's willing to do anymore damage to her body."

"That's good."

"Yeah great, now could you move from the door so I can take my shower."

Dean backed up from the door with his hands up in defense and sat back on the bed. He went back to cleaning his gun until Sam started his shower. He placed the gun down when he heard the shower cut on. Dean mind begin to wonder. Why didn't I wake you Sam, good question. The only answer that I could give you is for the first time in a long time you slept like a baby. Of course, I was worried. You always wake me...or sometimes wake me up from your nightmares. When you didn't, I brushed it off. Sometimes your nightmares let you sleep a little later. So I waited. Then the hour came and went and I got scared. I would of woke you up but I stopped myself. Looking over you got me thinking. Maybe it's a good sign that you was sleeping that long. Meaning a change is coming or your dream had finally stopped. But then again, it seem strange without the contant nightmares. It's kind of scary once you think about it. Sam's nightmares seem...normal. Not having them made things weird in a way. Then again if Sam's not worried about it, why should I. Right. I should be worrying about this demon and Chloe. That wasn't her fault. Sam's words echo in Dean's head. Like hell it wasn't her fault. If she stayed like we told her, she wouldn't be hurt right now. Sam is right, she is stubborn. Like you, his thought said. Dean scoffed at the thought of that. Admit it Dean, she gets to you and you know it. Dean again scoffed at his thought. You have to admire that about a woman. This time Dean didn't push this thought away. Chloe's a woman who you can't stand but yet a woman who you can grow to like. All you have to do is trust her. Maybe even get to know her a little better. Dean begin to ponder over his thoughts until he heard the shower stopped. With one last blink, he gathered his guns and put them up with the rest of his hunting things. He turned on the tv and flipped the channels around until Sam came out of the bathroom. Finally stopping it on some cartoons, Sam walked out of the bathroom, drying his still damped hair.

"Anything good on," he asked.

"No. Just the same old boring things," but laughed when something funny happened on the show he was watching.

Sam went back into the bathroom to fully dry his hair, so it wouldn't be to damp when they leave. Knowing what the weather was going to be like, he wasn't taking any chances. Once he was done, he walked back into the room to put on his jacket.

"Are you ready?"

Dean was laying down in the bed and watching tv when Sam came back from the bathroom. He looked up from the tv and at his brother.

"Yeah I guess so," he said getting up from the bed.

Chloe was dressed and ready to go in her room. This morning the nurse had came in and helped her removed the splint and replace the gauzes on her head with some fresh ones. Her head and arm no longer hurt due to the pain killers they gave her this morning. Though her right arm was still a little sore. Now she's waiting on the brothers to come and pick her up. I wonder did they went back into the woods last night, she thought to herself. I want to be there when they do whatever they have to do to get rid of it. But I doubt they'll let me come since I'm in bad shape. Then again, I could sneak in their car again without them knowing. But I doubt they'll fall for that again. I have to think of something if they decide on not letting me go.

"Maybe you should stay behind," Chloe said out loud. "Yeah that would be best."

"What would be best," Sam asked while walking in, along with Dean.

When Chloe saw Dean, her mind went back to there conversation last night. By the look on his face, he did too. Dean turn his head out the door, to keep from looking at her. Chloe caught the hint and looked away.

"Chloe"

"Yeah."

"What was you saying earlier?"

"Nothing."

"You ready?"

"Yeah."

After one last check up by the nurse and a prescription from the doctor, they left to go to the car. It was a silent walk to the car but Sam knew something was up with the two. He tried to figure it out while in the car but with Dean's loud music it was kind of hard.

"Hey guys," Chloe finally said. "Could we stop by the cafe? I kind of skipped out on breakfest and I am dying for a cup of coffee right about now."

"Sure, we were heading there ourselves, since we didn't eat anything either," Sam said looking at his brother.

"Yeah, sure," Dean said.

They made there way to the cafe without a word spoken. Sam knew for sure that something was up. They grabbed a booth in the back and looked over the menu.

"How's my three favorite customers," Bob said looking at the three. "Besides the obvious," he said pointing to Chloe's head.

"Good Bob and you," asked Chloe.

"Oh, I been good. My old dried bones aren't like they use to be these days but I'll manage. The usual."

"Yes, the usual thank you."

"What about you boys? I have warm sandwiches in the back being baked, you can have some if you want?"

"Yeah Bob that would be great," Sam said. Bob left to get their orders and again the silence came.

"Alright, I don't know what's up with you two but..." Dean cut Sam off with his hand raised.

"Sam, could I speak with Chloe...alone?"

Sam looked from Dean to Chloe, "Ah sure. I'll just be in another booth." He scudded out of the booth and to another one instantly, leaving the two the talk.

"I was wondering how long we could keep up the silent treatment," Chloe smiled. "Listen, if this is about last night then..."

"It's going to take time for me to trust you, alright."

"Oookay."

"I mean you couldn't just except it'll be a simple hand shake and spilling the beans kind of thing did you. Our lives and what we are doing is dangerous."

"I know, I kind of got first hands-on experience remember," Chloe said pointing at her damaged head.

"You'll live."

"Geez, thanks for caring,' Chloe rolled her eyes.

"I do... I mean, I will admit that I don't want to see...we save people all the time, you're one of them and we don't want to see nothing happen to you that's all." Chloe was smiling at Dean's attempt to show her that he cares.

Bob came over to the table and put down the tray in his hands on the table. After passing out Chloe's english muffin, the boys sandwiches, he left. At this point, Sam took it as a sign to come back to his regular seat with his brother and Chloe.

"You guys through with your little chat," he said sitting down.

"Yeah," Dean said letting out a small sigh. "Let's eat."

"So what are you guys going to do with the demon," asked Chloe taking a sip from her coffee. " One more day it gets to feed and then it's gone."

"That is why once we drop you off to the motel, we're going to go back in the woods again and search. Taken that this demon have feed off of the four people two nights ago, it probably needed time to digest. Figure going in early and search through out the night would give us a chance to save its next victim," Dean said.

"I guess that would make sense." Sam was about to say something but Chloe cut him off. "And I know what you're thinking. It'll be best if I stay at the motel. My thoughts exactly. I don't think I could deal with another hit like that."

Sam just smiled at her before taking a bit out of his sandwich. The rest of the time was silent because of their consentraction on the food. Once done, they left and head for the motel where Sam and Dean prepare to search for the demon.
