Chapter Two: The Beach Meeting

Sam's life was flashing before his eye's. This can't be happening, he thought, I can't go out like this. Not in a stupid car accident in the ass-end of nowhere. No, he would go out fighting, fighting and killing the thing that killed his mom and Jessica. Or even fighting another evil thing after getting his revenge.

"DEAN!" Sam heard himself scream.

Almost in slow motion Sam looked over and saw Dean's eye's glass over and slump down in the seat. He had passed out, Dean NEVER passes out. What in God's good name is going on here? Sam thought to himself 'You're the only conscious one left you have to do something and you only have a split second to do it.'

Sam grabbed the wheel of the Impala, and slid his foot over to the drivers side and pumped the brakes. That was another thing their dad had taught them, NEVER EVER slam on your brakes on an icy road. That's a good way to lose control of the vehicle. Someone must have been looking out for Dean and Sam because Sam managed to slide the car gently into the ditch. There would probably be no serious damage to the car, but they'd need to call a tow truck to get it out of the shallow ditch.

Sam managed to pry the passenger side door open and make his way through the knee deep snow in the ditch to the drivers side of the Impala. He opened the door and reached in to undo the seat belt, then eased an unconscious Dean softly, and slowly out onto the side of the road.

Dean's eye's fluttered open, you could see the pain and confusion on his face.

"What...What happened?" He muttered softly, his mouth was so dry he though to himself that he'd kill for a glass of water.

"You blacked out, that's what happened." Said Sam "You scared the living hell out of me."

Dean could tell it was true, for he could see the fear in Sam's eyes.

"Do you remember anything about what you were thinking or how you felt right before you blacked out?" Asked Sam inquisitively He couldn't help but worry, it was SO unlike Dean to black out, he never did stuff like that unless something was seriously wrong.

"Well, I felt a little light headed and kind of out of it, and I remember thinking how pretty the scenery was..." Dean trailed off blushing, he felt very un manly like to admit what he had thought, he knew he'd better redeem himself or he'd never hear the end of it. "And I thought how I wished I had one of my shot guns handy to hunt that deer!" Dean husked in the most manly voice he could muster at the time, since he still could use a glass of water.

"Ok" Sam said smothering a laugh, he knew his brother, and he understood why he said what he said so he just let it go. "The fact that you were light headed and having uncharacteristic thoughts before you blacked out, probably means, you are having an allergic reaction. But let's be sure" Sam took off Dean's jacket and shirt and sure enough his chest and arms were covered in red hives and a rash. "See" pointed out Sam "That is the big NEON SIGN saying your reacting to something."

"Ok fine Sammy, but reacting to what?" asked Dean " I've only been in a car with the windows rolled up, so it can't be environmental. And the only medicine I'm on is Darvacet for the pain for the injuries we got in Chicago, but I've been on it before."

"That doesn't matter" Explained Sam "You can take a medication everyday of your life then one day out of nowhere, you can have an allergic reaction to it."

"Well, Ok then college boy, is it a big deal?" Dean asked "and what do we do?"

"No it's not a big deal we'll just pick up some Benadryl at the drug store in the next town, you will take 2 every 4-6 hours until the hives and other symptoms go away." Sam explained nonchalantly "No big deal"

Sam had other worries on his mind they had just wasted a couple hours, what if that little car mishap causes them to not get to Rebecca on time? He remembered the feeling that had washed over him that night in Saginaw, Michigan. Pulling up to that house and seeing all the flashing police lights already outside, and thinking 'What good are my visions if I can't stop them from happening?' NO, Sam had made up his mind they WERE going to make it there in time and they were going to save her. No If's and's or But's about it!

Dean's head was pounding like he had an entire Drum Line marching around in his skull. And He itched like crazy, it felt like there were fire ants all over his body. All he wanted to do was cuddle down and go to sleep but it was freezing in the stalled car, and he knew that if Sam caught him sleeping after he'd just blacked out, he'd FREAK! With all their experience with bodily harm, they knew not to sleep right after blacking out or a blow to the head. You could have a concussion and you'd never wake up. Sam had always been a worry wort, always tending to everyone when they had been hurt. Dean was surprised when he found out Sam wanted to go into Law, He'd always figured he'd go into Medicine so he could help people, you know, make a difference.

Finally the Tow truck arrived to pull the Impala out of the ditch, as soon as it was safely on the side of the road Dean was making his rounds checking on his baby. Aside from a few minor bumps and bruise it was no worse for the wear. So they payed the tow truck driver , and went on their way.

"You need to rest Dean" Sam said "So let's get a few hours sleep before we hit the road again."

"No Sam, NO WAY!" Said Dean sternly "I couldn't do that to you, not like Saginaw, we have to get there in time!"

"Dean" Sam said softly "We're only about 1 hour away from this State Park, my vison took place at night and we're reaching daybreak here pretty quick so either we're already to late or we have lots of time. So Let's get a few hours sleep, and get a fresh start later today."

Dean decided he was way to exhausted to argue, and Sam was right about the whole timing issue. A few hours sleep definitely wouldn't hurt, it could only help.

The brothers stopped at a small pharmacy, in southern Michigan to pick up some Benadryl for Dean along with some Advil for the pain to replace his Darvacet. Then they stopped at a halfway decent motel for the night to get some good sleep. They were going to need it, they had a long couple of days ahead of them.

Sam put the key in the door and let them into the room, he helped Dean get settled into bed without really helping Dean get into bed. He then headed out to the car to get their bags from the backseat. He didn't need to get into the trunk the chances that they'd need weapons were slim to none. Plus, they kept a couple knives and handguns on them so they'd be prepared if something happened out of the blue.

Dean seemed to be sleeping peacefully enough, probably due to the effects of the drugs he'd just taken. After watching the steady rise and fall of his chest for a good long while, Sam decided to try and get some rest himself. He would be needing it if he was to be on top of his game, and so he could do his job and save the person from his dream. He closed his eye's and tried to clear his mind and drift off to sleep.

A Beautiful tan girl with blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and legs that went on for miles strode up to Sam on a beautiful deserted beach.

"Who are you and, Where are we?" asked Sam confused

"My name is, Rebecca, and I think we're in each others minds." explained Rebecca then with a laugh she said "But don't expect to much out of me, I'm just now figuring out where 'here' is and who you might be...who are you?"

"My name is Sam" Sam said confusion clearly written on his face "I've seen you before, I had a vison of you in trouble, and my brother and I are on our way to find you right now." Sam further explained "Have you ever seen me before? And are you awake right now or sleeping like me?" he asked inquisitively.

"Oh, I'm sleeping" she said "and did you say you have dream visions?"

"Yes"

"So do I, they are usually of things to come and I'm never awake and active in them like this. Maybe Since we both have the same gift we can sort of communicate in some way?" Rebecca enquired.

"That makes sense, I love beaches so I probably picked the scenery." Sam Laughed unwittingly trying to make the attractive girl that's in his brain laugh.

"That's so ironic, I LOVE the beach also, it's my idea of a getaway in my mind, so it definitely would have been my pick!" Rebecca laughed "Well, anyway enough of that, if you don't mind I'd like to know why a strange man and his brother are coming to find me, if you don't mind." She said coyly with a sexy smile.

"Oh, Yeah, sure, of course" Sam said a bit flustered "If you don't mind I'd like to just give you the cliff notes version for now, I'll explain in more detail when we meet in person. Deal?"

"Of Course, Deal"

"I had this Dream Vision last night and I saw you running from something, at some State Park, Sleepy Hollow I think it was, and I knew that I needed to find you and save you from being taken by whatever that evil thing was that was after you." Explained Sam.

" Ok, well, do you have any idea why some evil thing would be after me in the first place?" Asked Rebecca "What makes me so special?"

"To be honest Rebecca, I only know what I saw in my vision." Sam said with a deep breath "and it's not a whole lot. That is why my brother and I are coming to see you, to protect you and to figure out what this thing is and as you said, what makes you so special."

"Alright, when can I expect you?" she asked

"Sometime today." He replied "Today."

"Sounds good."

"I just have one last question." Sam asked cautiously "How is it you know that this dream is real, and we're really talking, if you say there is nothing special about yourself?"

"Oh, that" Rebecca laughed "I have always believed in the supernatural and the paranormal, I've studied it as a hobby. My whole life I've just KNOWN it was real and when I turned twenty one I started having dream visions as you call them that's how I knew right away, that this was real."

"Oh, ok, that actually makes a litle bit of sense and it will definetely help us in figuring everything out." Stated Sam "So, how is it exactly that we get out of here?"

"Don't worry about that, it's hot here, let's go in the water!" Rebecca exclaimed as she stripped off her clothes down to her silver blue Bikini. "Just take your clothes off...trust me Sam..."

"Ok" Sam said relenquishing his will to her as he stripped down to a pair of swim trunks. He had not idea how they got there but he figured anything was possible it is his mind, and everyone knows the mind is a powerful thing.

Rebecca grabbed Sams hand and intertwined their fingers together as they ran toward the water. Sam braced himself for the shock of the cold, but it never came, the water wasn't warm it wasn't cold it was Just cool enough and just warm enough, perfect could explain it. They dove deep down into the deep passing tons of tropical fish, marine life, seaweed, and corals. It was the most beautiful place Sam had ever seen. Then the deeper they went in the distance Sam saw what looked like an underwater cave. He looked over at Rebecca and she smiled at him her blonde hair shimmering and swirling around her face, the blue-green water setting off her eyes of the same color. It made him smile and laugh, which shouldn't have been possible since they were miles under water, but he did and so did she. He started to remember this was just a dream, with how perfect it was, how could it not be? They twisted around each other giggling, his hands on her waist, her arms draped across his neck, all the while drawing closer and closer to the cave opening. As they got closer Sam was in such bliss words couldn't explain it, he felt this unbelievably strong pull toward this woman. He was so lost in euphoria, thoughts, and Rebecca's Beauty that he didn't notice that they were almost to the caves entrance.

He looked at Rebecca and she smiled at him leaned in and whispered "In life everyone has a destiny, the question is wether or not your willing to fulfill it."

Then they went through the arch of the cave opening into a bright unwavering light. Sam felt warm, and unusually certain, that everything was going to be alright, and would work out for the best. The next thing he new he was being thrust back to the cold harsh reality that is his life, the transision was so harsh that when he woke up he could open his eyes, yet he was still paralyzed from REM sleep. He couldn't get his body to work or his voice and all he wanted was to wake up get Dean up and get going, so they could get to Rebecca and figure out this whole damn mystery.

"Ok, so explain it to me one more time." Dean said putting a finger to his throbbing temple, he had the makings of one hell of a migraine.

"What is it that your having so much trouble with, Dean?" Asked Sam, he was getting tired of explaining what the dream/vision/meeting with Rebecca had been like and what had happened. And of course there was a lot about the meeting that Sam wanted to keep to himself. He still had a warm feeling in his stomach everytime he thought about their adventure. Then that of course caused him to mentally punish himself for thinking that way about someone, he still felt like that was betraying Jessica. They had been together a long time but they had been so young that they had never had the whole, 'If I die I still want you to be happy' discussion. So, he didn't really know how Jess would feel about him being with another girl. Sure it's been a long time since she was taken, but how long is long enough when it comes to grieving? Sam shook his head, he didn't need to be thinking about this now he needed to focus on getting to Rebecca, and focusing on the job at hand. When or even IF it comes to it in the future he'd just have to follow his gut, it hasn't let him down so far in his life.

"Well, I was having enough trouble with you and your whole The Shining deal but now you have a little bit of Dream Walkers now too?" Dean asked with a quizzical look on his face.

"I guess you could say that, but don't you think that I'm having trouble with it too. I mean I didn't know I could meet with people in my dreams, I'm just as weirded out as you." said Sam

"Well, to be honest I'm kinda jealous." Admitted Dean "I mean do you think you could meet up with anyone you want to? Man you could step into Jessica Alba's Dream, and give me a play by play...or even better maybe it could be like Xbox Live and you could plug me in and I could have a little fun!"

"Dean, I don't think it works like that." Explained Sam "Didn't I tell you, Rebecca told me that when she turned twenty one she started having visions like me. So, I think that because we both have the same ability and obviously we have a connection since I had a vision of her, and I'm meant to help her, our minds and abilitys connected and allowed our minds to link together decide on a common place and communicate."

"Oh" Dean sighed "I guess I'll just have to settle for the Jessica Alba in my own Dreams."

"Yeah, I guess you will." breathed Sam "Now listen do you have anymore questions, cause we really should be getting going, I told Rebecca we would be there as soon as we could."

"No, I think I know all I NEED to know for right now, let's head out." Dean said as he stood up gathering his duffle bag, Peanut M&Ms, and the rest of his belongings to take out to the Impala. "Actually, just one more question and one observation."

"Ok, hit me." said Sam as he mimicked Dean gathering his backpack his laptop and the rest of his own belongings to take with them. "Just make it fast"

"Alright, well the observation is that, as your brother you can't get anything by me, I know your starting to have feelings for this Rebecca girl. Don't bother trying to deny it I know it's true and you'll just be wasting time." Dean said in an authoratative older brother tone, with a straight face. "I also know that she is a knockout from what you tell me, so here is my question, Does she have a sister?" Dean said this with his eyes sparkling and a cocky ass grin.

Sam couldn't help but laugh at that, he had to admit his brother had amazing intuition when it came to him. And for some reason when it came to Rebecca he didn't want to deny his feelings, he wanted to bask in them and enjoy them as long as he could. Because he knew in his life, you never know how long it's going to last. So, instead of deny deny deny like Sam usually did with his brother he simply did the opposite.

"I don't know if she does or not." Sam said with a laugh "But that's your problem not mine, as far as I'm concerned Rebecca's one of a kind."

The look on Dean's face was priceless, it made Sam laugh as he threw the weapons bag at Dean and turned to leave the room.

"We'll see about that!" Dean yelled after Sam "For all you know she has a clone!"

Sam just shook his head as he loaded all his stuff into the car, although Dean was right He doesn't know that much about Rebecca. Sam mentally slapped himself, and told himself 'I have plenty of time to get to know Rebecca, for goodness sakes I haven't even met her in person yet.' That was a plus right there I know her better then anyone else I've never met! The bottom line was he was already loopy over her and she's only been in his dreams.

Sam and Dean had been driving for about forty five minutes, Sam had been doing a lot of research, and a lot of day dreaming. Dean did a lot of jamming to Metallica, Foreigner, and Blue Oyster Cult, and a lot of complaining about how boring and repetitive the scenery was in Michigan, although he did admit it was better then the fields of Ohio.

Sam had uncovered that their weren't ANY mysterious deaths in the town that Rebecca lives in, grew up in, the town Sleepy Hollow State Park is in, or any of the surrounding towns. So, that made everything a little more difficult because they don't have a trail to follow that would take them to this evil being. So, Sam was trying to brainstorm different demons, spirits, and other beings, that could possible be interested in only one person. He looked over at Dean he was bobbing his head up and down to the music, mouthing the words, and tapping the steering wheel as if he were playing the drums. Sam still couldn't understand how Dean could totally separate jobs from life, like he had once told him 'You can't take it home like that.' Sam couldn't help but get invested in all of this, evil had taken a lot from him, so to him it was personal. But, nonetheless Sam did envy Dean for separating it all, and enjoying this life and not wanting a normal life, so therefore not missing it.

"Did you find anything, College Boy?" asked Dean

"No, not really. There have been no mysterious deaths anywhere around where we're going, and so I've been trying to think off what evil would be interested in only one person instead of one certain group of people." Sam said "Do you have any thoughts as to what we could be facing?"

"Well, I know that Demon Bounty Hunters usually only go after one bounty at a time, and they can be any type of Demon or creature of darkness, there is no telling. Sometimes spirits will attach to a person, and I know Vampires will sometimes migrate to different places and at each place choose a person to stalk and gradually change. It could be any of those or even something else that I don't know of or can't think of off the top of my head." Dean explained "But I won't be able to make an educated guess until we get there, meet Rebecca and learn more about what has been going on with her and you and the visions."

"Alright, how far out are we?" asked Sam

"We should be getting there in about ten- fifteen minutes." answered Dean "By the way did you think to find Rebecca's address?"

"Not exactly." countered Sam "I figured we'd get into town find a reasonably priced hotel, then get settled in. I looked up Rebecca's phone number, so we can call her and set up a time to meet, after we know what we need to know to get started on this job."

"Sounds good to me, Sammy." Dean said with a smirk. And it did sound good to him, he couldn't wait to get started on this job. He had a good feeling about this one, he had a feeling there was a lot of fun to be had. Out of nowhere there was a yelp, that threw Dean out of his thoughts, he knew something was wrong with Sam right away, it was one of those brother things.

"Sammy, what's wrong are you alright?" asked Dean with a panicked look on his face, he knew in his heart something was wrong.

Sam's head felt like it was on fire and he could feel the vision coming on, it felt like the image was ripping it's way into his mind.

There were grey storm clouds swirling around when suddenly a bright light cut through it and out of that bright light came Rebecca. Only instead of the normal bright smile she usually had on her face, there was a look of fear, and panic. Her blonde hair was blowing in the swirling wind, and her eyes were squinting trying to block out the harsh air. Sam could barely hear her over the roar of the wind, at first all he could here was her yelling... "SAM, HELP!"...
