Ghost 5: I absolutely love this show so I thought I would give this a go. I know my grammar is incredibly bad so please forgive.
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
CHAPTER SEVEN
"I'm going to have a look at that nightclub," Chris said as she tucked her knife away.
"I'm going with you," Sam said firmly
"I'll go to the bars," Dean offered "Hey Chris, perhaps you should come in and try your hustling skills at the pool table,"
"No thanks," Chris replied "You'll only get jealous,"
Dean tucked his weapons out of sight and walked into the bar.
"Show off," she muttered
Sam and Chris walked along the street quietly.
"What happened to you back there?" Sam asked
"Nothing, why?" she answered
"I saw you go all freaky, it was like you were in a trance," he explained
Chris sighed slowly.
"Go ahead and say it, I know you're dieing too," she said in a low voice
"Something's happened to you?" Sam asked
Chris looked at floor with a disappointed look on her face, was she disappointed that he hadn't asked the right question? or was she more disappointed with herself?
"Promise me you won't tell Dean," she said urgently "Or your dad,"
Sam could see the seriousness in her face, was she in trouble? Could he save her? He wasn't sure until he knew what was going on, he suddenly began to wish he hadn't asked her anything.
"Chris...I," he began
"I'm not asking you as a friend Sam, I'm asking you as the only kind of brother i've had other than Dan," she said sternly
Sam swallowed hard trying to conceal his worry.
"I haven't changed you know," she said softly "Not really,"
Sam wasn't convinced.
"I mean of course i've changed, but i'm not one of the bad guys," she said quickly
"Then what are you?" Sam asked
"I'm a witch," she answered "A hedge witch to be precise, and anyway you shouldn't be surprised by what i did back there, remember my other talents?"
Sam had forgotten that she could see spirits and have full conversations with them, on one or two occasions Sam had sat with her and talked to her brother. Dean had always thought they were playing games just to pass the time, he couldn't see them but Sam could. As he got older he found that he couldn't do it any more, Chris had obviously got better at it over time.
"How is Dan?" Sam asked
"Perhaps you should ask him," Chris answered "You might want to warn Dean though,"
Sam felt that he had his sister back again and it made him feel just a little more complete, Chris had been the only kind of motherly influence that he had had growing up. Dean always teased him for being the baby, Chris would often comfort him by saying that Dean was only jealous because she loved him more because he was the baby.
"So, how did you become a witch?" Sam asked
"Long Story, and it wasn't by choice if that's what you're thinking," she answered "My Auntie Caroline said it was in my blood, she used to say that if we ignore the gifts we have they only get more out of control, if we accept who we are we then have control over what we can do. She feared that if i wasn't taught how to control my powers people would get hurt, giving the odd bully chicken pox is fine but anger and hormones can make you do a lot of destructive stuff if you aren't careful,"
Sam smiled at the thought.
"Plus she knew that one day I was going to go home, she felt that because i'm a woman i would need extra backup so she taught me witchcraft. Which i only ever use if it's absolutely necessary, your dad taught me everything i would ever need to know I owe a lot to him," Chris finished
She saw Sam looking at the floor thoughtfully.
"There's something I've been meaning to ask you," he said in a low voice "Dean's been pissing me off about it, but I don't really think it's anything,"
"That depends," Chris answered
"I keep having weird feelings and i have dreams that come true," he said confused "I had a dream that what happened to mom would happen to Jess, and it did,"
"Dreams, are first stage of premonitions Sam," Chris explained "I have those quite often,"
"What's the point in having them?" Sam asked angrily
"They are there to guide us, to warn us and prepare us for the things we're about to come up against," Chris answered "Imagine how i felt when i was thirteen and going through what you're going through right now,"
"So, what powers do you have now?" he asked curiously
"A lot more than before and that is all you need to know, other than that I'm just your average hunter," she answered "The reason why i don't want you telling Dean or your dad is because they have met one too many bad witches so i'm not sure how they would react if they found out, i don't think telling him that i'm a hedge witch will help my case either,"
"Hedge witch?" Sam asked
"They don't practise in a coven, and they are few and far between, many witches believe that their kind should worship in covens and those that don't get forced to, those that still refuse are either drowned or burned, and trust me I've have seen this stuff happen. So do you promise you won't tell?" Chris replied
"I promise I won't tell," Sam said seriously
"Winchester's word?" Chris asked
Sam laughed.
"You still remember that?"
"When a Winchester makes a promise he'll always keep his word, that's what your dad said to me," Chris answered
"Ok, Winchester's word," Sam agreed
They came to the dimly light nightclub that was on the other end of the town, Chris and Sam looked at the entrance then at each other.
"We always did say we would go to hell and back together," he said in a low voice "There's another thing I wanted to ask you,"
Chris looked at him curiously.
"You said that the first thing she'd do is hit on me," Sam said seriously
"Yes," she replied
"Well we're about to go into a nightclub, there's going to be women in there who are going to try and hit on me anyway. How will I tell the difference?" he asked
Chris smiled and tugged his arm to follow her.
"Don't worry Sam, i'll protect you," she said reassuringly
"You're using me as bait?" Sam exclaimed
"Well she's not about to fall for me is she?" Chris asked sarcastically "Anyway you wanted to come with me, if Dean was here he'd be in your shoes right now,"
"Only he'd enjoy it," Sam replied annoyed
"He probably would, anyway just think you have someone watching your back, Dean's in a bar on his own," she said sympathetically "We have to lure her out somehow, that is of course you want to barrel on in there and start cutting every woman's head off,"
She had a point, Sam offered her his hand and took her into the nightclub. The air was smoky and thick, Chris began to feel her t-shirt sticking to her back because of the humidity, the walls and the floor vibrated in time to the music.
"Rave music is not my taste," Chris muttered
Sam was scouring the place anxiously, from the moment he stepped into the club he could feel a strange pulling sensation in his stomach as if he was being led somewhere. He noticed most of the boys looking at Chris in half amazement as she walked by, the looks turned to envy as he followed but he also noticed that he was getting attention as well from the girls in the club. Sam began to feel very out of place, he felt thousands of eyes staring at him.
"Take you never got to experience any of this at Stanford?" Chris said into his ear
"No, I was busy doing the smart thing," he replied
"Don't be ashamed for not following the crowd Sam, we're all proud of you," she said firmly
"Did you follow the crowd while you were at Newcastle?" Sam asked
"Certainly not, I did go to a few parties, but I love being a bookworm," Chris answered "I'm an even bigger bookworm now that I'm a professor,"
"Of what?" he asked
"Parapsychology," she answered
Sam looked at her in surprise.
"Told you I didn't follow the crowd," she said with a giggle
"Can I get you two anything to drink?" The barmaid asked
"Two beers please," Sam replied
"Sure thing honey," the woman said giving him a wink
"I'll be back in a minute," Chris said before turning around and walking into the crowd
"Where you going?" he asked
"To the little girl's room," she answered
Sam stood patiently waiting at the bar, the tugging sensation in his gut hadn't gone. Something was about to happen, Chris had left him alone at the bar for a reason and it was making him uneasy. He began looking around the dimly light room for her, trying his best to ignore the voice in his head telling him to leave the bar and go and look properly.
"Looking for me?" Chris said cheerfully
"Was getting worried," Sam answered as he passed her a bottle of beer
"Thanks," she replied
Chris wondered off into the crowd making sure she wouldn't be seen by the succubus, she knew it had been close when Sam and her were talking at the bar she had felt a peculiar stinging sensation run down her back. Chris knew that the only way of properly finding it was if she left Sam alone, luckily she had put a binding spell on him before they had entered the club, it meant that he couldn't go anywhere without her and it would keep him safe. She wondered to the second floor of the club keeping her eyes on the bar, something out the corner of her eye had got her attention. Chris smiled as she watched the girl prowl toward Sam.
"Got you," she whispered
Chris went outside and took out her cellphone.
"Please don't tell me you're still playing pool," she said to herself
"Yep," came an answer
"Found anything?" she asked
"No, but I've scored a lot of cash," Dean replied proudly
"Good for you, now that you've finished playing get your arse up here," Chris said angrily and then hung up
"You ok?" Sam asked
"Yeh fine," Chris answered
"I don't think she's here, we'd have found here already," he said disappointed
"I know a good way of looking for someone," Chris said with a smile as she put her empty bottle on the bar
Before Sam knew what was going on she grabbed his hand and took him to the dance floor.
"Come and dance with me Sam," she urged
"I don't think we should be doing this," he said seriously "I think we should go,"
"Ok," Chris agreed
Sam was thankful to be breathing fresh air and not stale smoke, Chris cuddled close his arm as they walked down the road to the bars. Sam stopped by an alley and looked at Chris.
"Dean's not going to like this," he said sadly
"What Dean doesn't know won't hurt him Sam," she replied seductively
Sam felt the tugging sensation in his gut suddenly stop.
"Sam move!" Dean yelled
Sam looked at the girl on his arm, Chris had become a blonde blue eyed woman with a pointed tongue and vampire fangs. She hissed at him before throwing him across the alley, Sam scrambled to his feet and saw Chris coming down the other side of the alley holding some small metal disks, she threw one at the succubus cutting her cheek cleanly before lodging itself in the wall. The succubus hissed at her before leaping onto the metal fire escape and making a run for it across the rooves.
"You ok?" Chris asked
"Yeh," he answered
"Told you succubus's can make themselves look like anyone," she said as she dislodged the disk from the wall.
