Chapter Nine: You were wrong

It hadn't take nearly as long to get back as it did to get to the cave of the Thunderbird. But still at least eight hours had passed since they'd left the cliff. Once they got the girl to the local hospital and back to her very happy family, they had to explain to the sheriff how they had found the little girl wandering in the woods where they'd been hiking. They were both surprised when the sheriff asked them if they had killed the Thunderbird that had taken the little girl.

"Good," he told them when they nodded, "that's two children you boys saved in the past few days. No telling how many more it would have killed before we could stop it. That said, I think it's high time you left Denby."

The brothers hadn't wasted any time. They gathered their things and headed out of town, but tired as they were, they only went as far as Pine Ridge where they found another motel. Both had showered and were lying on their beds waiting for sleep to claim them. Both were exhausted not having slept in the past thirty six hours or so.

"Sam, you still awake?" Dean asked quietly.

"Yea."

"You were wrong you know." Dean told him.

"What do you mean?" Sam asked tiredly.

"I mean, we did change your vision, we saved those children. You were so sure we were not going to be able to do it."

"I know, I'm glad I was wrong."

"Me too."

With that the brothers fell silent, falling to sleep nearly simultaneously. They slept soundly for nearly nine hours, until Sam started to toss on his bunk. He woke with start, turned on the light, and got out of his bed. "Dean, come on get up!" he shook his brother awake. "We need to go, NOW!"

Dean turned and looked at the clock on the night stand. Four o'clock in the morning. He watched Sam frantically gather there things together. "Looks like you're back." Dean told him as he got out of bed and got dressed.

Sam stopped and looked at Dean his head tilted to the side with a look of confusion on his face. "You know, you have been acting so strange. I was really starting to get worried about you during that last hunt."

Dean just laughed. "Let's go Sammy, and don't forget your shoes."
