Chapter 24: A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Action

Chloe watched from her room's window as the brothers got into their car to leave. Once they were out of view, she left the window and laid on the bed. The pain in her head and arm had subsided thanks to the pain-killers she took a hour ago. Closing her eyes, she thought back on the days she spent searching for the Winchesters and finally finding them. Her conversations with the boys and the times she spent with them. Even though those times with them were with arguements and a one way trip to the hospital, she had to admit, it was worth it. Worth it that there are people out in the world that believe in the things she believe in and worth being with them. "This search was totally worth it," Chloe said to herself. Suddenly her phone rings and she was cut off out of her thoughts. She reached over to the night stand for her cell phone and answered it, "Hello." Her eyes grew big as she sat up in her bed, surprise to hear from the person on the other end. "Missouri," she said.

"You packed everything," asked Sam standing behind Dean.

"Yes mommy I packed everything," Dean said checking his pistol in his hand. Sam hit his brother on the shoulder after shaking his head at his brother reply. They were once again in the woods by the Parker's house getting ready to hunt for the fear demon. They gathered their things and entered the woods.

"So, what were you and Chloe talking about in the cafe earlier," Sam asked out of the blue. Dean left his attention from their surrounding to look at Sam. Sam had a small smirk on his face to show that he was interested in what Dean answer was going to be.

"Nothing," Dean quickly replied.

"It didn't seem like nothing to me in order for you to have a private conversation with her."

"It was nothing alright. Now drop the subject."

They went silent for awhile until Sam broke it.

"You know what I think?"

"If what you're thinking is about the fear demon, then I'm all ears, but if it's about what I think it's about, then you can forget it. I don't want to know what's going on in that sick mind of yours."

"I think,' Sam started ignoring his brother statement. " you and Chloe are the same. Your ambition, your dedication, your "stubborness," Sam said a little bit louder.

"Get to the point, Sam."

"You like her more then you think."

"I hardly even know her?"

"That never stopped you before."

Dean stopped in his tracks to think. He had a smile on his face before answering, "Yea, you're right." He shook the thoughts of varies women out of his head as he started to walk again.

"The point that I'm making here is that you should give her a chance. Listen to what she have to say for once before judging her. She's not Cassie."

Dean stopped in his track again to look at Sam with confused eyes. "What does Cassie have to do with this?"

"More then you think. Cassie may have been your first love, Dean, but she doesn't have to be the only one. It's not that you don't trust Chloe, it's that you don't want to get close."

"Sam what are..." Dean was interrupted by Sam holding up his hand.

"Just give her a chance. She can probably understand more than anyone about what we go through."

This time Sam start back walking and left Dean with his thoughts. Once reviving from them, he hurried up to catch up with Sam and back to the reason they were here in the first place.

They were still in the woods looking for the fear demon with time running out. It's five o'clock now and the sun was beginning to go down. They stopped in a nearby clearing in the woods to catch a breather.

"This is getting cold and it's getting dark. We're running out of time, Dean."

"I know," Dean said squating down to unzip the bag he'd been carrying the whole time.

"How are we to know if it's even here or taking his victims here. We didn't find it last time nor did we fiind it's hid out for that matter."

"We don't," Dean said handing Sam the shot gun and himself, a pistol. " That is what we're going to find out," he said as he stood.

Sam looked at his brother to read him "What are you planning?" Dean looked at his brother and then looked around. With a long exhale he answered.

"Hate to say it but I think it's best that we split up," returning his glance to Sam.

"What...Dean are you crazy? Splitting up is the last thing we should be doing right now."

"Well Sam, with us splitting up we can cover more ground that way. I hate the idea myself but we really don't have much of a choice right now. One more person and this thing is gone."

"I know Dean but this demoon can change, into humans matter of fact. It got the jump on us last time what if it does it again? We can't take the risk."

There was silent for awhile before Dean went on.

"Okay we know this demon at least attack at night, right?"

"Dean..."

"Right," he yell a little.

"Yeah."

"Okay, well I figure we split up now, take the time we have left before it gets dark. We meet back here and continue the search together. What harm will that do?"

"Much, Dean. Man, I don't know about this."

"Do you have another plan then, because if you don't then tough. We don't have time and if splitting up is our best option right now, then we should do it."

Sam was bitting his bottom lips now. He can feel that this plan is a bad idea and yet, he knows that Dean is right. Cutting his eyes, he faced his brother.

"Alright we split up, but before it gets dark we meet back here."

"Okay, you take that way and I go this way," Dean said already moving toward the direction he pointed.

"Before it gets dark Dean..."

"Yeah I know," Dean yelled from a distance.

Sam watched as his brother disappeared into the woods before turning around and running in the opposite direction.

"How did you get my numb... wait don't answer that," Chloe said more to herself then to Missouri.

"Hush child and listen. You have to go to the boys, they are in grave danger." Chloe stood up from the bed this time.

"What?"

"Remember what I told you when you were in Kansas, you are the one who can save them right now."

"But it have been hours since they left, how am I suppose the find them? They could be deep in the woods by now," Chloe said grabbing her jacket and heading outside to her car.

"You will, now hurry."

"Okay," Chloe said ending her connection with Missouri.

"I'm coming guys", she said stepping into her car. I hope they are okay? Please let them be okay, her thoughts questioned as she pulled out of the motel's lot and onto the open road towards the woods.
