Chapter Eleven
Back at the motel the four went about various activities, Sam and Dean kept telling them 'useful' information about shape-shifters, and melting and molding silver bullets, while the girls ,with some help from Sam, picked up clothes and the general disarray of the rooms. Now, heading into a third night they were more organized. Alarm clocks were produced and set, beds had been made that morning by an Autumn who was trying to avoid a certain someone who had crawled into her bed, she'd even folded the her bed back into the couch.
"But from what the journal said, it's going to take a form that scares us. So what scares us all?" Athena intercepted Dean's story about Sam being scared of what lived in his closet.
"I don't know." shrugged Autumn, "With our line of work there isn't much that does, except maybe the idea of something happening to the other. But I don't think we're going to go nuts-o when we see something we've already faced down. Though, I would be too impressed if any of those buggers came back."
"What house is it in is better question. We know what it's going to be doing so we can be prepared." Sam pointed out.
"We just watch all the kids then." Dean said.
"Right, Dean. We just drive around town, and keep an eye on every kid that's ever been afraid of the dark. That's a lot of kids. We must have met up with thirty or more kids today in the park alone, not to mention all of the ones who stayed at home, or were drug along behind Mommy and Daddy. That's way too many kids, and Mr. Boogeyman don't seem to care much about age, it's any kid who'll still believe in him."
"Not true, Autty. If it were we'd have an idea what he really looks like." Dean pushed. Autumn glared at him.
"Even if we don't have to believe, that just makes your plan worse. Opens it up to more kids." Dean clenched his jaw intent on not smacking her upside the head.
"Why don't we all call it a night, we'll look deeper tomorrow, see if its not making some sort of mark on its victim before it attacks." Sam said stepping between the two.
"Fine." Dean and Autumn said together backing down.
"So what's going on?" Athena asked. The boys had gone back to their rooms, a few minutes before leaving the girls to their own. Neither had wasted time in folding out their bed.
"Nothing. Just business as usual." John was snoring in the corner by the door where he could keep an eye on his humans.
"Right, that's what makes you so hot headed." Autumn threw a pillow at her sister plopping down on the bed and pulling her hair down. "It's been a long time since we were kids, you've both changed, you know?" Athena kept going. Autumn pulled a brush out of her bag, and trying to be the bigger person started combing her hair out.
"You're being childish. There is nothing going on. Trust me, if their was I wouldn't be out here sleeping on this thing." Autumn bounced on the bed a few times. "Wanna braid my hair?" Athena hopped across the bed and sat behind her sister pulling her hair around and started twisting it into a braid.
"So, when's the wedding?" Autumn grabbed another pillow and smacked her sister upside the head.
"Oh it's on now, bitch." Athena said rolling off the bed grabbing the original pillow. Autumn dove across the bed to attack her sister and ended up knocking the air out of herself landing hard on her stomach. Athena took the moment to start beating her sister with the pillow.
"I shall render your head from your shoulders, baby sister." Autumn announced regaining her breath and springing up to lead and attack on her sister. Autumn managed to pin her sister to the ground and sit on her middle. "Now, lets see, what should I make you declare?"
"Uh, Umm." both girls looked up to see the boys watching them.
"Told you it really happens." Dean said smacking Sam in the shoulder. "And it's even more wonderful than I thought."
"Shut up, dork!" Athena yelled at him beaming him in the head with her pillow. Sam laughed until Dean hit him in the gut with the pillow. Autumn let her sister up and re-armed her.
"Get them!" Autumn hollered waving her pillow over her head.
"Not fair!" Sam called, "We've only got one weapon."
"Oh, Sammy, baby, be creative." Autumn grinned bopping the boy upside the head with her pillow.
"It's Sam." he said ducking another attack. Dean hit Athena with his pillow causing her to stumble backward.
"Now, let's not go and hurt my kin, Dean." Autumn said taking over her sister's place. Dean decided he wasn't going to be beaten by a girl so he grabbed her around the waist and tossed her on the bed.
"She started it, sweetheart." Dean said holding the girl down. "Sam, get the other one." Sam dove on Athena and pinned her to the ground. "We win ladies." But seeing his humans trapped by the two strangers didn't please John. He jumped up and started growling.
