I do not own Supernatural characters. I own Emma.

Swearing is included; I think it brings the story to life.

Chapter Three

Emma woke up with the warm blanket over her shoulders. Her eyes stung from the tears of last night events. She sniffed. Coffee… she sat up onto her elbows to look over at the pantry. Dean was brewing some hard black coffee, stirring it simultaneously. Emma's now brown hair streamed into her eyes as she looked at Sam, how calm he looked in his sleep. She got up and walked into the bathroom. It smelt funny. She scrunched up her nose and started to strip. The bathroom was molded with dirt, it made Emma want to gag. She stepped into the yellowing bath tub and turned on the water. The shower pounded her back like a massage, the steam felt relieving on her skin. She blew the water away from her face as Dean walked into the bath room. Emma poked her head around from behind the shower curtains, her hair dripping.

"Dean, do you mind?" She said.

"Sorry Emma, just getting my brush."

She rolled her eyes and went back to her shower. Five minutes later, Emma walked out of the bathroom toweling off. Sam was still sleeping, and Dean was on the laptop, searching for something out of the ordinary. Emma pulled on a large t-shirt that draped to her thighs to hide her panties and walked towards Dean

"Did you find anything?" She leaned over his shoulder, trying to focus on the bright screen.

"Yup, a man who's been missing in the forest. It has been happening very recently. You think we should check it out?" He looked up her and stares.

"What?" Emma asked.

"Did your boobs grow bigger or are you not wearing a bra?"

"Dean!" She punched Dean in the shoulder. "Not funny!"

"Relax! It was a complement can't you even accept that?" He smirked.

"Both of you shut up!" Sam's voice was muffled under the covers.

"Rise and shine sleepy head! We got an order for us. Dad sent us coordinates and I found enough Info for us. Now get your ass moving"

Dean parked outside the house. Sam and Dean went up to the porch and knocked on the door, they left Emma in the Impala.

"Hello? May I help you?" A beautiful girl answered the door.

"Err- yes. We're news reporters seeking information on the disappearances of the residents here. May we ask you a few questions?" Dean began.

"Yes sure. Matter of fact I was just heading out to the forest."

"Uh, why?" Sam said sarcastically.

"My brother and his friends went into the forest on a camping trip and he hasn't answered or called, I'm going to go look for him."

"How do you not know he forgot to call, err?"

"Haley, its Haley. I know my brother; he isn't that type of person. Every night he calls to let me know he's okay. Sometimes he'll even send us videos."

"Us?" Dean questioned.

"Oh, my younger brother. Yeah we sometimes receive videos from him. He's such a goof; he'll make jokes and, such." She gave a nervous laugh.

"Do you have any videos that we may look at?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, but, how would this help your article?"

"Oh, just to make the residents here know that their forest isn't, you know, wild…" Dean gave one of his smiles.

Haley nodded suspiciously. Well come on in, I'll show you the videos."

"Dean! Emma come check this out!" Sam waved for them to come.

Emma and Dean looked at the laptop. Sam was showing the videos (the most recent one) second by second image. A dark figure was behind Haley's brother outside the tent. It seemed to be moving so fast that even in second by second it looked blurred

"This thing must be going really fast!" Stated Emma.

"Uh, no duh!" Dean said.

Emma punched his shoulder and looked at the phone which started to ring. Dean picked it up casually and answered it.

"What! No, listen you can't go out there. It's dangerous! Yeah! I know but, Haley…Wait! No don't hang up! Haley! Haley!" Dean cussed.

"What was that all about?" Sam asked.

"They're gong into the forest to find their brother. But what they don't know is that a wendigo is out there." Dean started to pack.

"A wendigo?"

"A wendigo used to be human until it ate human flesh and became a cannibal, and then it feeds off human flesh for the rest of its life. They're usually people who were stranded and had nothing to survive on like miners."

"Yeah I know what a wendigo is Dean! But aren't they supposed to origin in the west? What is it doing over here?"

Dean shrugged and threw Emma the .22 gauge.

Dean stepped out of the Impala and ran towards Haley and her brother. She was wearing gears, shorts and a hiking pack. A man trudged behind her.

"Haley! Haley thank god you didn't go into- who the hell is this?" Dean asked.

"This is Roy, he's a trained hunter; he'll protect us from what ever the hell it is in the forest that you claim is in there."

"I highly doubt that." Dean scoffed.

"And who the hell do you think you are?" The hunter asked Dean.

"Just some good looking guy, got a problem?"

The man looked away and urged Haley and her brother to come follow them. Haley turned away from Dean with one last glance and followed Roy.

Dean sighed and gestured that Emma and Sam should follow. Haley looked around at them, surprised.

"You're following us?"

"Damn straight."

"And you're hiking out in biker boots and jeans?"

"Oh, sweetheart, I don't do jeans."

"And you don't have equipment."

"Hey I have provisions." Dean held up a bag full of M&M's.

Haley smiled and followed the path once more. Emma shook her head and Sam scoffed.

They came into a clearing in the forest and found a ruined camp ground. Haley gasped. The three tents were torn, and a trail mark of someone being dragged was still fresh. Claw marks outlined the trees and bushes. Emma looked around the debris of the nylon and found a broken cell phone, tainted with blood.

"Dean! I found the cell phone!" She held it up for Dean to see.

Haley covered her mouth with her hand, fighting back tears. Dean walked over to her. "Don't worry there's a huge chance that your brother is still alive."

She looked up at him with a quizzical look. "And how do you know that?"

Emma gulped. Sam looked at Dean disbelievingly.

"Because we know what took your brother and his friends. Its something called a wendigo, they're cannibals. They like to store their hunts in their lair. So find the lair, find your brother. Presuming from the marks on the ground are still fresh, mmm, I recon that your brother is still alive."

"Oh cut the crap would you!" Roy said, holding his gun like a pet.

"Got a problem there Elmer Fed?"

Emma laughed. She remembered Elmer from her childhood, the cartoon with bugs bunny and daffy duck. It's "wabbit" season… Sam also was smiling.

"Think you're such a wise ass do ya?"

"Nah, that's my brother the college boy."

"Hey!"

"Alright you two!" Haley shouted, "Can we please settle this? We need to find my brother…Got it?"

Suddenly a shriek came from the bushes. A cry of pain.

"It's my brother! GARY!" Haley called out.

"Nuh uh! It's the wendigo. It's manipulated your brother's voice to lure you out and attack us one by one. Sam draw the protection symbols. Emma keep watch."

"Oh please!" The man called out.

"Roy!" Haley yelled at him.

"You believe them!"

"At this point…I believe anything."

The screech continued, and Roy started to pace. The sun had set and the tension was getting high. Roy walked out of the protection circle.

"Roy get your ass back in this circle now!"

"Don't worry…I got this under control, now you kids can just sit here and play your stupid little games while I'll go and kill that bear."

"Bear!" Emma scoffed sarcastically, "It's not a bear! Can a bear scream?"

"Sweetie I've heard everything."

"Don't sweetie me!"

But Roy didn't listen and walked on. Dean clenched his fists and walked back into the circle. Haley walked beside him and grabbed his arm.

"You're going to let him out there on his own?"

"Let that jackass, sorry, let Elmer do what he wants. I can't stop him."

Haley looked anxiously at the patch of forest path that Roy had taken. As if she hoped that Roy would come back with a dead bear and her brother smiling, walking back to them.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"What the hell was that?" Exclaimed Haley's brother.

"Damn it all! Didn't I say that he had to stay in the bloody circle?"

"Trust me it didn't sound all that convincing!" Haley said.

"Stay in the circle with Emma, Emma watch Haley and her brother. Don't let them out of your sight, got that?" Sam ordered.

Emma nodded and loaded the .22. Haley and her brother looked around at their surroundings and sat down on the log in front of the blazing fire. Emma strolled around on the inside of the circle, listening for any hints of what was going on. But she couldn't hear anything. It nauseated her how much she didn't know at the moment. She was anxious of not knowing what might happen to her cousins. Suddenly, a twig snapped under someone's foot. Emma turned to face the bushes. Sam came running through, looking worried. Haley sighed that it wasn't wendigo.

"Sam, where's Dean?" Emma asked, her voice shaking.

"Emma listen okay, the wendigo has Dean. Calm down."

Emma had started to shake. NO! No! Not Dean! Her thoughts were gearing her fear a notch higher and higher. "Calm down? I can't calm down! That thing has Dean! Do you know which way he took him?"

"That's the thing," Sam sighed, "I don't know. I just heard his voice and then I couldn't find him. I need all your help," he nodded towards Haley and her brother, "to find him."

"Hey! Look!" Haley's brother was somewhere out by the bushes.

Sam, Emma, and Haley ran towards him, he was pointing to the ground; little circles were on the ground of every colour.

"M&M's…" Sam laughed.

"Better than bread crumbs." Emma said.

They followed the little M&M's until they came to an opening. It was an abandoned mine, the wood pillars had somewhat rotted or collapsed. An eerie smell came from the opening and Emma gasped in exasperation to indicate the smell of rotting flesh.

"That's disgusting." Said Haley's brother.

"If it can help me find Gary," she said, "I don't care if it smells bad."

They crept into the tunnels. Dripping sounds could be heard echoing in the tunnels, leading from all directions. Sam cocked his gun and Emma had the gauge at the ready. Sam looked at Emma and nodded…one…two…three…

They both jumped around the corner, their weapons in front of them.

"Dean!" Emma ran to untie her cousin from hanging of the ceiling.

Dean looked up at Emma, his focus was blurry from the blood dripping down his face. He gave his cockish smiles.

"Hey Emma. What the hell took you guys so long?"

Emma laughed through her relief as Haley and her brother ran towards Gary. She started to cry. Haley was hugging her brother. Sam winced at the sight of Gary, he was all scratched up and was bleeding from a head wound.

"MMPH!"

Haley gasped. Gary looked at his sister with slit eyes. His mouth broke into a smile, as he winced in pain. Haley's fingers fumbled with the cords around her brother's wrists. Once he was down they were hugging each other in the happy moment of a reunion.

"Don't get all too happy now," said Dean, "We're still in the wendigo's lair. This means we're still venerable to it. Everyone stay close together, and if anyone here's something fishy, tell us. Now, let's kill this bloody son of a bitch."

The six of them slowly walked through the tunnels. Haley and her brother were supporting Gary with his arms slung over their shoulders.

"AAARGH!"

"Okay, what the fuck was that?" Emma whispered.

"They throw their voices remember…I bet it just found out that it his meal just escaped and can sense four more prey in his lair. Emma, lead Haley and her brothers out of here, after that keep watch until we come out got that?"

"No…I'll lead them out give them my .45 then I come back in to help you."

"Emma! That was an order!"

Emma glared at him and led the three siblings out of the mine. Her anger was so consuming that she didn't even notice the thing following them. Whoosh!

Emma screamed. The wendigo had just slashed her thigh as she turned around. She fell to the ground but held up her gun. She fired at the wendigo but it did nothing. The wendigo was gone. Vanished. Sam and Dean came running towards the four of them. Sam helped Emma up as the wendigo came back. Sam spun around and shot at the wendigo again and again. Nothing. Emma looked around.

"Where's Dean?" She whispered.

Sam looked around. Dean was gone. Where was he?

"You want some white meat, bitch? I'm right here!" Shouted Dean.

The wendigo turned around to face Dean as Dean shot the wendigo with a fire bullet. The wendigo screeched. It rang through the mines. It bounced off the walls echoing loudly.

"So madam, you say it was a bear that attacked your brother and killed Roy?" Asked the cop.

"Mmhmm, it was a really big bear."

Haley turned away from the cop and went up to Dean.

"I don't know how to thank you."

Dean gives her one of "his" looks.

"Must you cheapen the moment?"

"Yeah."
