Alright, so once again, I do not own Dean, Sam or any of the other characters you may recognize from the show. I also don't own some of the conversations between Dean and Sam that you recognize from the show.

Chapter 9: "I'm Coming With You"
Dean and Sam both spun around to face a red-faced Amber. Sam and Dean were both white as a ghost.
"Answer me!" Amber demanded, crossing her arms.
Dean sighed, nodding at Sam,
"Sam and I are looking for our father. Our father sent us to find and protect you," Dean began, receiving a confused look from Amber.
"Protect me?" Amber began, "from what?"
"That thing that attacked your family….and ours."
"Wait, so you knew it was going to attack!" Amber practically yelled, "Yet you never said anything!"
"Amber, we knew it was going to attack, but we thought it was going to attack you, not your family. That's why we bumped into each other everywhere we went, we were watching you, making sure nothing happened to you. It's our job to hunt down evil and kill it, as well as protect the people involved."
"You hunt evil?" Amber laughed.
"I know you know that what happened wasn't natural, your mom on the ceiling…" Sam stood up.
"Our mom died the same way, but twenty years ago," Dean stated.
"I know you may think we're crazy," Sam began.
"I…I don't think you're crazy," Amber's anger dissolved and she stopped yelling, "I believe you."
"You believe us?" Dean did not think he heard her correctly.
"Yes, I believe in demons and ghosts," Amber stated.
"We hunt demons, ghosts, witches, skin walkers, black dogs and whatever else you can think of," Sam stood next to his brother.
"So you know what killed my family?" Amber asked, full of hope.
Dean walked over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder,
"What don't know yet, but we will find out and I swear, I will kill that son of a bitch," Dean stated matter-of-factly.
"So, your father sent you coordinates and the place is…here?" Amber looked over her shoulder.
"Yeah."
"So, it's going to attack here?" she shivered.
"No, not exactly here, but near here, it's actually in the woods, near the old mines marked down on the map," Sam stated, picking up the map.
"Lost Creek Wilderness Area…and it's not going to be the thing that attacked you, we think our father might be there."
"I could take you guys there first thing in the morning, it's about 15 to 20 miles from here," Amber took in all the information just given to her.
"No, we'll find it on our own, you take it easy," Sam told her.
"No! I'm coming with you! There's no way in Hell I'm staying here by myself!" she said, eyes wide, "if that thing is still out there, I don't want to be alone!"
Dean nodded at Sam,
"Fine."
Amber sighed,
"Thank You," Amber nodded at Dean.
"Now get some sleep, we've got a long day," Dean told her, yawning on cue.
The next morning they found themselves at a ranger station near Lost Creek Wilderness Area. It was not too hard to find. The pulled up to the log cabin, the song "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner pouring out of the speakers of the impala. Dean parked the impala beside the set of stairs. Dean climbed out of the driver's side wearing his biker boots, blue jeans, leather jacket and grey t-shit. His dirty blonde hair was messy from not brushing it when he woke up. Sam climbed out wearing an olive colored t-shirt was a kaki colored jacket on top with a pair of jeans and boots. Amber climbed out on Sam's side, stretching as she got out. Yawning, her "Rolling Stones" t-shirt lifted slightly to reveal a perfectly toned stomach and a bellybutton piercing. Her blue jeans hung low on her curvy hips. She wore a pair of black and white checkered vans on her tiny feet.
"Do you guys always get up this early?" Amber yawned, brushing her waist-length red hair over her shoulder and out of her face.
"Told ya you'd need sleep," was Dean's response.
Smirking, Amber followed Dean and Sam up the set of stairs towards the open entrance. Dean and Sam looked around the building when they entered. Photographs hung on the wall and a large map sat in the center of the room. Sam instantly walked over to the map, Amber following closely behind,
"So, like you said, there are dense forests, abandoned coal mines…"Sam pointed to the bottom of a mountain on the map.
"There are al.."
Amber was cut off by Dean, who stood by a photograph hanging on the wall, hands in his pockets,
"Dude, check out this size of this freakin' bear!"
"...also a dozen or so grizzly bears roamin' around," Amber finished, walking over to Dean, Sam behind her.
"It's no nature hike," Dean added.
The photograph was of a man standing beside a rather large bear. Amber jumped as a man spoke behind them,
"You guys aren't planning on going out near Blackwater Ridge by any chance?" the ranger asked.
Amber was about to speak, but Dean and Sam instantly cut her off,
"Oh, no sir, we're environmental study majors from UC Boulder, just workin' on a paper," Sam spit out.
"Recycle man!" Dean added stupidly.
Amber elbowed Dean in the back. He stiffened and shot her a look,
"Bull!" the ranger said, "you're friends with that…Hailey, girl."
Dean cocked his head to the side, thinking for a moment,
"Yes."
"Well, you tell her that her brother filled out a back-country permit stating that he would not be back from Blackwater until the 24th, so he's not exactly a missing person," the ranger said.
Amber stood behind the brothers, watching with amazement how easily they could lie.
"Well, uh….ranger….Wilkinson," Dean squinted at his name tag, "it would help if I could get a copy of that back-country permit so I could show her her brother's return date," Sam rolled his eyes at the last part.
"Sure, whatever will keep her from trying to file a missing persons report even though he is not missing," the ranger sighed, walking to grab the paper to copy.
"That Hailey girl, well she's quite a pistol, huh?" Dean grinned.
"That's putting it mildly," the ranger said while copying the paper behind the desk.
The ranger walked over and handed Dean the paper after circling the return date in red ink,
"You show her that date," the ranger said, turning and walking towards the back room.
"Thank you, sir," Amber added before turning and leaving with Dean and Sam.
