Chapter 3 – Sins of the Father

Dean had spent the last couple of hours reviewing the files on the missing persons in the area. There had been over 15 people who had come up missing over the past couple of months. As far as Dean could tell, there was nothing to link them. However, he had found an interesting report that had been filed by Sheila Wilcox. She had filed assault charges against her boyfriend, Stephen Connors. The description of the assault was brutal…almost animalistic in nature. Sheila claimed he not only beat her, but also bit her in a number of places. Looking at the police photos taken of her injuries, Dean felt sorry for the girl. She had been pretty badly beaten and had a number of bite marks, which did not look human.

"Jeez Sammy, why can't you find nice normal girls?" Dean thought as he returned to the hotel. He hadn't slept or ate since Sam had been taken. He was beginning to feel the affects as he rubbed his tired eyes. But he couldn't sleep, not until he had found his brother. He still wasn't sure what he was up against. The bite marks led him to believe that he was definitely dealing with something supernatural…hopefully; his Dad's journal would shed more light on the type of being that had taken Sammy.

Thinking about his father, Dean winced. How was he going to tell him that he lost Sam? If he didn't turn something up soon, he would have to place a call to let his father know what was going on. It was a call he was not looking forward to making, but he knew that his father would be more pissed if he didn't let him know what was going on. Dean knew that his father would be disappointed in him again and wasn't sure that he could face that disappointment right now.

Entering the motel, he decided to take a quick shower and then get back to work. As he passed the mirror in the bathroom, he noticed that the face looking back at him had a haunted look. Letting the hot water stream over his body, he felt his muscles relax and finally let the tears of frustration run down his face to mix with the water from the shower. Damn it! Why did it always have to be Sam that suffered…what had he done to deserve this?

As Dean left the shower and began to get dressed, he paused as he heard a sound from the other room…throwing open the door he ran…his phone was ringing!

ooooooooo

Consciousness returned slowly to Sam. His body was stiff from cold and ached from the abuse it had received from the vampire. He slowly sat up and noticed that Sheila was looking at him with concerned eyes. She was still tied and gagged. Sam stood up on unsteady legs and went to her to help.

"I'm sorry that I got you into this Sheila…I never should have gotten you involved" Sam said softly as he rubbed the girls chaffed wrists.

"What do you mean Sam? It was my ex-boyfriend that hurt you…I thought he was gone…I thought I was safe…What kind of monster is he?" Sheila's eyes were full of tears as she began to try to rub some warmth into her cold body. Sam took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders.

"So that was the scary relationship that you just got out of? Who is that jerk?" Sam asked as he went to examine the door.

"It's a long story….when we first met, he was kind and gentle. But then a few months ago, he disappeared for a week. I was frantic with worry and had reported him missing with the police. But they couldn't find him. Then one day, he showed up on my doorstep. I was thrilled to see him back, but he wouldn't tell me where he had been. When he found out I had filed a police report, he got angry. He…well, let's just say it wasn't pretty….I still have the scars from that night." Sheila shuddered as she remembered how close she had come to dying.

"Let me guess, he bit you?" Sam asked quietly as he watched the fear appear in her eyes.

"How did you know?"

Sam placed a comforting hand on Sheila's shoulder. "I wish I didn't have to tell you this…but you need to understand what we are up against. My brother and I, well...we investigate things that hurt people…things that most people don't know about or prefer to pretend don't exist. Your boyfriend has become a vampire Sheila…he was probably converted during the week that he had gone missing."

"Vampires don't exist…they are only make believe!" Sheila backed away from Sam slightly.

"No, they do exist as do many other supernatural things. Look, you said his personality changed, that he bit you…he has shown super human strength. I know it sounds far fetched…but believe me, we are dealing with vampires here." Sam shook his head as he tried to figure out a way to get them out of the cellar. The door was heavy and too solid to break down. There were no windows or any other means of escape visible…unless…Sam reached into his coat pocket and almost laughed…his cell phone!

Sam quickly pulled up Dean's number and dialed, praying that he would get reception. After the third ring, he almost hung up when he heard his brother's voice "Sammy…Sammy is that you?"

"Yeah Dude…I'm sorry, I guess I messed up again!" Sam said; glad to hear his brother's voice.

"Where are you Sammy?"

"I don't know Dean, they drove us in a van for at least a couple of hours, it felt like we were climbing…maybe the mountains? I'm trapped in some kind of root cellar, but I can't see outside. Dean…it's Kate…I think we are being held in a vampire nest!"

"Ok Sammy…are you hurt?"

"Not too bad…just the usual bumps and bruises…you have to be careful, she has grown her pack to include some of the locals including Sheila's ex-boyfri….."

Sam jumped as the door flew open, three of the vampires entered followed by Kate. "Sorry to interrupt the family chat, but I'm going to have to take that from you!"

"What do you want Kate?" Sam asked, as he fought thevampires that had grabbed him. Kate looked at the phone and smiled as she heard Dean frantically calling for Sam on the other end.

"Not much Sam…just to watch you and your family suffer…suffer the same way I suffered after your father killed Luther! You hear me Dean…your father took someone from me and now I will take his son in exchange…who knows, maybe I will turn him or maybe…" Kate gave a nod to thevampires that held Sam. Before Sam could react, he was slammed to the ground and the vampires were on top of him. Sam screamed as he felt the fangs enter his skin.

Kate listened to the phone for a moment and then smiled as she disconnected the call. "Enjoy your dinner boys!" She said as she walked from the room. "I'll be back for desert!"

ooooooooo

Dean heard Sammy scream on the other end of the phone. "Sammy!" Dean yelled into the phone. "Damn you, I'm going to kill you…you bitch, let him go!"

The only answer Dean received was the sound of the phone being disconnected. "Oh God, Sammy!" Dean felt sick; he remembered the condition of the people he had released from the vampires nest a few months ago. The images of the torn flesh kept flashing through his mind. He had to find Sam and fast.

Dean picked up his cell phone again and placed the call he had been dreading…but now he knew he had no choice. He was going to need back up to get Sam back. The phone rang on the other end, Dean sighed hoping he would not get voice mail. After a couple of rings, he heard the familiar voice on the other end "Hello Dad? We have a problem…remember the vampires we let go in Manning…well they are back and they have Sammy!"
