Chapter 31: Monster Mash
I sat on the table as the boys loaded up shotgun shells against Eve filled with phoenix ash hoping this would actually work. I did with slight hesitation touch the ash but it didn't seem to have any effect making me wonder if this was something that was only good against her. Castiel decided to disappear for a bit once he got his strength back to find out what he could but once he returned we learned she was protected completely from angels and demons.
"Maybe you need one of her creations to find her, like a homing beacon." I piped in as Sam replied, "A friendly monster… yea we know of one."
They gave Castiel a name seeing him disappear again while out of the corner of my eye I watched Dean pour some of the ash in his glass of whiskey drinking it. It didn't take long for Castiel to return with a very confused frightened vampire.
"Sam… Dean… what's going on?" she asked afraid while Sam said, "Hey Lenore it's okay we aren't going to hurt you."
"Where is your angry friend?" she asked looking around while Dean said, "He's dead you don't have to worry about him."
"What do you want?" she asked seeing the slight agitation in her posture while Sam said, "Can you get close to Eve."
Fear suddenly showed in her eyes saying, "I'm staying the Hell away from her, she has influence over all of us even caused my whole nest to go crazy and start killing again."
Sam and Dean looked at each other before Dean said, "You have to tell us where she is Lenore, we want to end this and I know you don't want to see more innocent people killed."
"She can see you… through my eyes, she'll know you're coming." Lenore said with a serious tone as Sam said, "We'll take our chances, please Lenore."
She was hesitant at first but gave us the location none the less before giving Sam and Dean a sad look saying, "Now you must do something for me."
"Anything." Sam said while she replied, "I want you guys to kill me because I'm just like the rest of my nest."
"Lenore…" Sam began but she put her hand up saying, "I fed on a sixteen year old so I deserve this."
I saw the conflict in Sam's face but Castiel walked up behind her laying a hand on her head watching her burn from the touch falling dead. Afterward Castiel teleported all of us to the location Lenore said Eve was hiding as we looked around, seemed pretty normal here.
I sat in a diner with them while Bobby looked up information on any missing person and when Castiel went to go check around the town we found he was unable to teleport anymore. Dean decided the best course of action was to split up so he and Castiel decided to go to a man named Silver's office while Sam, Bobby and I checked his house.
I frowned watching Castiel go with Dean but knew that Sam and Bobby might need the backup so we walked up to the house. Once Bobby knocked a few times without an answer Sam picked the lock as we headed inside for any evidence. The house was quiet as I examined the bedrooms for anything amiss but found it creepily neat.
I found a picture showing him with a wife and two sons bringing it to Sam saying, "If this guy's missing it must mean they are too."
"Something is happening here, they are just doing it quietly." Bobby said while I nodded putting the picture back as we walked outside seeing the sheriff.
"Can I help you gentleman and lady?" he asked while Sam flashed his FBI badge along with Bobby saying, "We are looking into disappearances in the area."
"I thought Silver was just sick, is he not home?" the sheriff said confused while Bobby said, "Yea, no sign of the wife and kids either so we would appreciate it if you but an APB out for them."
The sheriff eventually gave in saying he would leaving us be while I saw Dean and Castiel heading in our direction both looking equally confused.
"Ed Bright is in that house." Castiel said suddenly pointing to what looked like an abandoned house so we decided to investigate.
Breaking in we found a whole bunch of Ed's but most of them seemed to be dead except one who looked like he would die any moment. Dean went over to his wallet seeing that he wasn't actually Ed but his friend Todd, he had become a shapeshifter of sorts.
"Oh God do we all look like Ed?" Todd asked seeing the fear cross his face while Sam said, "No man you're hallucinating relax."
"What's the last thing you remember?" I asked while his eyes turned to me saying, "We were in a bar and there was a girl in white…"
I saw his breathing hesitate watching him pass away from whatever sickness was aligning him looking over to the guys shaking my head. Regrouping we decided to check out the bar he mentioned to see if we could find any more clues since he had no other leads at the moment.
Making it to the bar Sam and Dean got the doors opened seeing dead bodies lying all over the place, some partially eaten while others look like they just passed on. I walked around them not touching any of them afraid whatever it was they had could be passed on while Dean and Sam noticed they had vampire fangs as well as other characteristics of monsters they had faced.
"So what is she trying to concoct a super monster?" I said crouching on the other side of the bar seeing most of the bottles untouched hearing Dean say, "This is a new species… I'll name them Jefferson Starfish's."
I peeked my head up over the counter saying, "What a lame name Deano."
"Bite me." He said giving me a playful glare while my eyebrow raised saying, "Maybe later big boy."
"It looks like they all just burned out… clearly she hasn't perfected the technique yet." Bobby said kicking one while I leaned back down again.
I heard the door kick open as Dean crouched by my side hearing the sheriff as well as other officer's bust in grabbing Sam, Bobby, and Castiel.
"Where are your lady friend and the stupid guy?" the sheriff said as I suppressed a laugh seeing Dean's face hearing Sam say, "They are long gone from here."
"Sure… you guys are coming with us downtown." Said the sheriff as we heard them shuffling out the door making me turn to Dean whispering, "Shouldn't we you know save them?"
"Something isn't right about the sheriff maybe he's one of them too, we should lay low." He said making me nod hearing a car start knowing they drove off.
"Do we even know what can kill these things?" I asked standing up while Dean shrugged replying, "No idea but with your angel blade and my arsenal in the car I think we'll be fine."
Twirling my angel blade I laughed saying, "Well let's hunt us some pigs."
