Chapter 12: Puzzle

To pay Sam a lesson, Dean told Sam to ride with Chloe once Chloe made her appearance. They decided to go to the Talon to talk about what's been happening in the town, while eating there as well. They sat in the back of the room, where they can have their privacy and eat without people looking at them as they pulled out their usual items. Since Sam left his laptop, they used Chloe's; they also had their dad's journal and the newspaper spread out on the table.

"So you're telling me there is a monster out there taking kids from their homes," Chloe asked watching Sam typing away on her laptop.

"Yeah, some creature with green eyes from what some of the parents are saying," Sam answered.

"Do you have any clues on what it is?"

"It could be a number of things, night stalkers, the boogeyman, raw head, and the list can go on and on. For us to completely narrow it down, we're going to have to look around in the family's home. See can we find anything that would single out our creature."

"We don't have to," Dean said from the opposite side of the table they were sitting at. Dean was looking through their dad's journal while Sam and Chloe looked on the laptop.

"Why," Sam and Chloe asked in unison.

"Listen to this, in 1990; three kids went missing from their homes. The parents went in to check on their kids once they heard some noises coming from their rooms and only caught a glimpse of this thing disappearing in the closet. Get this; they said it had green eyes. And according to dad, he hunted and killed it. It's some relation to the Bogeyman, they're called Bugbear."

"So dad killed it sixteen years ago."

"Yep but I guess his friend is here to finish the job," Dean said throwing the book on the table.

"Or it could be the same one."

"What are you getting at?"

"This creature now and the one dad took out could be the same one." Dean frowned not quit getting it yet. "The same creature, just like the wendigo we killed a night ago could be the same one we killed in Colorado."

"How is that possible Sam, we killed it?"

"Yeah I now but think about it. They both had the same MO except for the whole mutilating the body and leaving it out in the open. This creature and the one in the 90's are no different. And to top it all off it's happening here in Smallville. To say it's a coincidence is a lie."

"Okay it's not a coincident but somehow these two creatures are repeating past incidents. Same or not we have to stop it before it takes another kid."

"I know and we will but….do you know if dad wrote anything about red eyes or mention anything about them."

"Right your vision, care to share what it's all about?"

"Like what I wrote on pad; the red eyes, the woman, and the wendigo. And to add to it, screams, the green eyes and more red eyes. They keep coming in flashes and I can't tell what they're trying to tell me."

"Maybe your visions are giving you what it knows in pieces like a puzzle," Chloe said after being silence in her thoughts. "In order for us to figure out what is the cause of this identical pattern, we're going to have to wait out for more pieces."

"Like a puzzle," Dean restated Chloe's take on the matter. 'So we have to wait until Sam gets another vision to get more clues."

"Yeah that too but I'm thinking from these creature also. Sam, your vision didn't start until you killed the wendigo right?"

"Yes."

"So just thinking hypothetically here; kill this creature we get another clue."

"Great, Sam's visions want to play a game while recreated demons go hectic in town. At least we get to kill something," Dean shook his head.

"Not a bad theory but my visions came before we killed a demon too. Once I left the station I had another vision, hint adding the other three to the pieces. How do we explain that?"

"Maybe they're just add-ons, I don't know. Like I said, hypothetically, we won't know until you kill the creature."

"Easier said then done. We don't know when this Bugbear is going to strike again. It could be in any house in town," Sam said typing on the keys again.

"That's where the research comes in my friend," Dean smiles. "You guys figure out this guy's motive in the library while I go and see what house it's going to attack next."

"Do you want to meet back here," Chloe asked once Dean left the table.

"Why not, we'll meet back here at three."

Chloe and Sam nod their heads once Dean left out the door. They gathered the rest of their belongings and headed out the door to do some research.


Back in the cave Keith and Lilith were enjoying the company of their guest. The five little kids looked to be around the ages of seven and thirteen was all huddles in a corner crying.

"Don't cry, we'll take care of you," Lilith walked around them. She bends down in front of a little girl with brunette hair and green eyes, who look to be the age of seven.

"I want my mommy and daddy," she cried.

"I'll be your mommy and Keith will be your daddy. We'll be all your mommies and daddies. But make daddy mad and he'll turn into mean old monster and will have to punish you." She only managed to ignite the kids' cries louder and she laughed.

She moved away from them and walked over to Keith who looked at the newspaper.

"I just love reading about us in the headlines, don't you?" Lilith smiled and laughed. "You're ready to start your part of the game?"

"Of course and I can't wait."

The two demons laughed evilly as the children cried and covered their ears from the horrid noises coming from the demons.


AN: Okay for those who don't know what a Bugbear is, it's some kind of creature like the Bogeyman. I did some research and they are goblin looking creature who are only used to ignite fear in bad children. I just added the whole part about taking the kids for my story benefit. I hope you guys like it and I will try not to make it short anymore.
