THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

CHAPTER TEN

Sam went into his room and sat on the bed.

"What can I do?" he asked in despair

"She told you which is a start," Dan said comfortingly

"She needs to tell Dean doesn't she?" Sam said seriously "I mean if she doesn't tell him she's going to burst into flames and if she does Dean will never want to see her again, you have to admit Dan it's a hard one to call,"

"You have to make her see sense Sam, you see because she told you that she was a witch she was able to tap into her powers and control them," Dan argued

"What do you mean?" Sam asked

"It's hard to explain, but all I know is that because you accepted what she said she accepted it as well," Dan said "That's why you weren't in any real danger when you came across the succubus last night, she put a binding spell on you,"

"Isn't that supposed to work on other witches?" Sam said confused

"It does, but with humans it binds them to the witch that cast it did you feel something tugging inside you?" Dan asked

"Yeah I did," he replied

"That's what it does, it means you couldn't go far without her knowing about it," Dan explained

Sam smirked.

"What's funny?" Dan asked

"Just like her to do something like that," he said trying hard not to laugh

"What do you mean?"

Sam looked at Dan and couldn't stop smiling.

"Chris always used to let me do the dangerous things that Dean said I wasn't allowed to do, no matter what she was always there to guard my back and make sure I wasn't in too deep,"

"Sounds like something she would do," Dan agreed

"What the hell was that all about?" Dean asked as he finished getting dressed

"It happens sometimes," Chris explained "Don't tell me you forgot about my certain powers?"

Dean looked at her blankly for a second as fished for a suitable excuse, he was going to have to settle for the truth this time.

"I...might have over looked that part," he stuttered "But that doesn't change anything, I..."

"Just like you to do that!" she said angrily "What in hell was i thinking letting a two bit no good cheating bastard like you sleep with me?"

Dean knew he had to stop this quickly.

"Now look Chrissie it's not like that...When you haven't spoken to someone in thirteen years your bound to forget a few things," he said defensively "Besides I don't care what you are,"

"Yeah Dean that was a really good thing to say, like she's going to buy that," he thought angrily

"Out...Just get out," Chris snapped as she tried to gather the unravelling blanket around her

"Hey come on," Dean said gently grabbing the blanket and wrapping it round her slowly "It doesn't matter what you are,"

Chris looked at the floor, Dean lifted her chin up and looked at her.

"So...long...as...you're... mine,"

Each word he said was punctuated with a kiss.

"You're lucky you went through all that in your teens, poor Sam's going through it right now," he said soothingly

"That must be hard," she whispered

"Sometimes, I feel so helpless," Dean explained

"The pain will stop and he'll get better at it," Chris said softly

"Wait a minute whose comforting who here?" he asked

Chris smiled warmly Dean leant closer and was just about to kiss her again.

"I've got to get dressed," she said cheerfully

Dean gave her an exhausted look, she returned it with a hard stare.

"Alright...Alright, i'll see you in ten minutes," he said in defeat

"Bye," Chris said quietly before shutting the door on him

"So, I take it you and Dean have kissed and made up?" Dan asked brightly

"Something like that," she answered

"So, you gonna tell him then?" he asked

"He forgot that i was like Sam, I don't think he's ready to hear the rest of it just yet," Chris said worriedly

"Chris, you know what will happen if you don't start accepting who you are inside," Dan said seriously "Do you want to be nothing but a smouldering pile of ash?"

"No," she replied softly

"Then i suggest you pluck up the courage and tell him what you've become," Dan said almost angrily

"So...Did you and Chris have fun last night?" Sam asked cheerfully

Dean just smiled

"I don't want to know man ok," he said shaking his head

"Do you know she's got this cute tattoo of a Japanese fantail goldfish on her right..."

"Dean! I don't want to know where her tattoos are ok," Sam said quickly

"Whose tattoos?" Chris asked curiously

Dean turned round and looked at her with embarrassment.

"I was just telling Sam about your goldfish,"

"Uh huh?" she said in a low voice

Chris read the expression on Sam's face

"I don't think Sam really wants to know about that Dean,"

"So what do we do now?" Sam asked

"We find out where they're hiding," Chris said darkly

"How we do that?" Dean asked

"Go ask the latest victim," She said cheerfully

"The latest victim happens to be in a coma," Dean said confused

"I know," Chris said thoughtfully

Darryl Madigan was in the hospital bed unconscious.

"Poor guy," Chris said sympathetically

"Now what?" Dean asked "Isn't going to be a little hard to ask him anything?"

Chris placed a hand on Darryl's forehead and then closed her eyes.

"What's she doing?" Dean asked

"There's something I've got to tell you," Sam said worriedly

Dean looked at him suspiciously.

"What?"

Sam took him by the elbow and took him outside.

"Dean, Chris is a witch," he said "I mean she's a very powerful witch, the only reason why she won't tell you is because she's afraid of what you and dad might say,"

"That's why she was sent away," Dean said thoughtfully "Dad always said she was sent away to have a proper education like her parents would have wanted,"

"Which means if dad sent her here he obviously wants us to protect her," Sam said in agreement "There's something else Dean, you have to get her to tell you what she is,"

"Why?" Dean asked

"Because she doesn't want to admit what she is to herself," Sam answered

Chris found herself standing in Jade's nightclub.

"Ok Darryl where are you?" she said to herself

"Ok buddy I think you've had too much to drink," came a familiar voice giggled

Chris saw a flash of blonde hair.

"Bingo," she whispered

Chris followed the couple back to a house that was just around the corner from Jade's, she stood outside for a moment before walking through a wall like a ghost. She stood watching the succubus drain the guy of his aura and drop him like a sack of potatoes, Chris knew that it was pointless intervening at this time the only Darryl was going to wake was if she killed the succubus.

Chris woke up and looked at the two concerned young men.

"I know where one of them is," she said seriously
