Here's the second chapter of the Chris Winchester saga. I'm going to follow the plotlines of season one obviously since there is no point in skipping to get to the good bits. I'd imagine it might take some time as I'm back at school now and time is limited. Do not fret as more WILL be written and completed as soon as possible. Please if you have the time, remember to review with your thoughts as I gladly accept people's opinions. P.S I don't own Supernatural apart from Chris.

If You Go To the Woods Today

There was me sitting in the back of the Impala like always, minding my own business, when Sam decides to suddenly wake up, near enough making me crap myself. Luckily Dean didn't noticed so I was spared from being ridiculed. Dean eyed Sam for a second and continued driving.

"You okay?" he asked Sam keeping his eye on the road.

"Yeah I'm fine" replied Sam.

He seemed spooked but I didn't say anything. Dean knew what I was thinking too. That's something me and Dean have in common. You can't hide squat from us. That and our fondness for rock music.

"Another nightmare?" Dean inquired glancing at Sam who only cleared his throat.

Dean then had an idea and said "Wanna drive for while?"

Now that was something. Sam was hardly ever allowed to drive, the Impala was Dean's baby. It was pathetic if you ask me the way he acted about the car. If I wasn't grounded, I'd have to wax the stupid thing.

"Dean your whole life you've never once asked me that" Sam said surprised.

"Just thought you might want to" replied Dean "Never mind."

"Can I drive?" I asked chancing my luck.

"Nope" Dean said looking at me in the rear view mirror.

I sulked and slouched in the back seat. One of these days I was gonna drive the Impala and it would be Dean in the back and not me.

Sam looked at Dean "Look man your worried about me. I get it. Thank you but I'm perfectly okay."

"Uh uh" said Dean and I in a spooky unison. Sam was lying obviously.

"Alright" said Sam grabbing the map to examine it, "Where are we?"

"We are just outside Grand Junction" responded Dean.

I leaned for and looked over Sam's shoulder. Dad's coordinates stated the code 35-111 and was marked by a red x.

"You know what" Sam sighed "Maybe we shouldn't have left Stanford so soon."

"Sam we dug around there for a week and we cam up with nothin" said Dean "If you want to find the thing that killed Jessica then."

"We need to find Dad first" said Sam cutting Dean off.

Dean continued "Dad disappearing and this thing showing up again after fourteen years, it's no coincidence, Dad'll have answers. He'll know what to do."

Sam's brow furrowed "It's weird man. These coordinates he left. This Black Water Ridge."

"What about it?" questioned Dean.

"There nothin there" I said study them over again to make sure I was correct, "It's just woods."

Sam placed the map on his knees. I scratched my head and we both glanced at each other in confusion.

"Why would he send us to the middle of nowhere?" I wondered aloud as I noticed a sign stating Welcome to Lost Creek Colorado National Forest.

We stopped outside the ranger station were we looked around.

"So Black Water Ridge is pretty remote" said Sam. I noticed he was surveying a map of the woods, "It's cut off by these canyons here. Rough terrain. Dense forest and abandoned silver and gold mines all over the place."

Dean had his eye on something else "Dude check out the size of the freakin bear?"

I wandered over to see the framed photograph myself. It was of a caught grizzly bear with the hunter peeking over it's massive carcase.

"Whoa! That ain't Yogi Bear!" I said in awe and shock.

Sam looked over his shoulder at us in annoyance. I was a bright kid most times. Like Sam. But my mind strayed occasionally. Like Dean.

Sam came over with folded arms "And a dozen or more grizzlies in the area. It's no nature hike that's for sure. "

We turned at the voice of a middle aged ranger behind us holding a mug in his hand "You kids aren't planning on going out near Black Water Ridge by any chance?"

"Ah no sir were Environmental study majors from UC Boulder" lied Sam.

I spun from the same web of lies "Just workin on a paper."

Dean joined in too "Recycle man."

The ranger looked at us "Bull, Your friends with that Hailey girl right."

"Yes" said Dean "Yes we are Ranger Wilkinson."

Ranger Wilkinson replied "Well I tell you exactly what I told her. Her brother filled out a back country permit saying he wouldn't be back from Black Water until the 24th. So it's not exactly a missing person now is it? Tell that girl to quit worryin. I'm sure her brother's just fine. "

"We will" said Dean then a grin appeared on his face "Oh that Hailey girl is quiet a pistol huh?"

I rolled my eyes and slapped him on the arm of his black leather jacket. Wilkinson turned around before he walked out "That is putting it mildly."

"Actually you know what would help" said Dean going into his jacket pockets "If could show her a copy of the back country permit, You know so she could see her brother's return day."

Dean's act of percussion comes in handy when we inquire information or to look for trouble mostly. We came outside again with Dean holding the permit in his hands chuckling to himself.

"You cruising for a hook up or somethin?" I asked with smirk.

"What do you mean?" asked Dean.

Sam sighed and answered for me "The coordinates point to Black Water Ridge so what are we waiting for, let's just go find Dad. I mean why go talk to this girl?"

Dean said "Er I don't know maybe we should know what were walking into before we walk into it."

Sam threw his arms out as Dean and I gave him an odd look "What?"

I looked up at Sam curiously with my hands on my hips "Since when were you all shoot first questions later anyway?"

Sam simply stated "Since now."

Dean seemed impressed as he climbed back into the Impala "Oh really."

We knocked on the door and a young girl with dark curly hair answered.

"Hi you must be Hailey Colins," said Dean before he introduced himself and Sam, "We're rangers with the park service. And this is Chris, she's a girl scout who helps run the Environmental awareness for the kids. She wants to be a ranger too, huh kiddo"

"Yup" I said through gritted teeth as Dean slapped me on the back.

Ugh he pulled the scout card again. I'm either an intern, an apprentice or a damn girl scout!

Dean continued " Anyway Ranger Wilkinson sent us over. We want to ask you some questions about your brother Tommy?"

Then as always we were forced to show ID. I had a scout badge that I've had since I was younger. As we were invited inside Hailey complimented on the Impala. Dean was taken aback but if I know him, he thought he was in there. The idjit. If there was one other thing he had a love for apart from the Impala and pie. It was women. I rolled my eyes at him in my usual manner.

Hailey explained that Tommy had been missing for three days and she also stated that it was just her and her two brothers. Heck maybe I could find a friend in her just by that fact. Sam then began searching through photos on Hailey's laptop. Nothin weird came up, well not from my point of view. Then Hailey announced that she had hired a guide and was heading for Black Water Ridge in the morning to look for her brother. We then left.

Sam phoned me later on my cell phone when I was alone in our motel room channel flicking on the TV. Him and Dean had found information surrounding "Grizzly" attacks and how they happened over a period every 23 years. They even questioned an old man over his attack. Sam told me of the man claw mark scar over his shoulder. It was something unknown. Maybe a skin walker but it was something we could hopefully kill. From what Sam told me, it weren't no grizzly bear.

The next morning we met up with Hailey, her brother and her guide called Roy.

"You guys got room of three more" announced Dean as we got out the Impala.

I knew this was going to happen. If it turned out it was a bear, I was gonna be pissed at Dean for dragging me around a damn forest for nothin. I grunted as I crawled out of the Impala, my hands deep in my jean pockets. I wish I had gum. Anything to take the taste of mint tooth paste.

"What you wanna come with us?" said Hailey looking slightly puzzled.

"Who are these guys?" asked Roy rudely.

"Apparently this is all the park service could muster up for search and rescue" replied Hailey with her hands on her hips.

"Your rangers?" Roy asked Sam and Dean questionably before looking down at me "Your too little to be a ranger kid."

"I'm a scout actually" I said curtly "I'm working for a merit badge."

Hailey looked at us at our appearance. We weren't dressed like hikers. I was kicked out in my old scuffed black high top sneakers, a navy ribbed vest and an old denim shirt I stole from Dean with the sleeves rolled up. I looked at Hailey in slight irritation. I ain't wearin nothin that makes me look stupid I thought to myself.

"And your hiking out in biker boots and jeans?" she said looking at Dean with an arched eyebrow.

Dean looked down at himself and replied "Oh sweetheart I don't do shorts."

Roy wasn't impressed by Dean's smirk as he passed him "What you think this is funny? It's dangerous back country out there, her brother might be hurt."

Dean faced Roy "Believe me I know how dangerous it could be. We just want to help her find her brother that's all. "

As we trekked though the forest Dean was enjoying winding Roy up. So much the idjit almost stood in a bear trap. Me and Sam just rolled our eyes and continued walking with the group. Hailey's brother wasn't very social so I didn't bother with him as he was listening to his Ipod thing or whatever its called. I dunno much about new technology apart from working on Sam's laptop but then again I only use it when it comes to research. So I only surf the net as far as Google. Hailey then figured us out when she questioned Dean about our lack of provisions and Dean explained to her that him, me and Sam were siblings looking for our father. We were now technically in the same boat.

We eventually arrived at Black Water Ridge and the coordinates matched too. Something wasn't right. I knew the guys felt it as we stood in a small clearing. There wasn't a single sound in the air. Not even crickets. Roy then said he was going off to check out the area himself.

"You shouldn't go off by yourself " warned Sam.

"That's sweet" sneered Roy loading his gun as he walked away in front of the group "Don't worry about me."

Dean then turned to the rest of us "Alright everybody stays together. Let's go."

As we picked our way through the greenery we heard Roy call out for Hailey to which we rushed to investigate. What we discovered was an abandoned campsite. The tents were all torn and ripped and bloodstained. It did look like the site of a grizzly attack. Hailey called out for Tommy as we surveyed the scene. Sam hushed Hailey.

"Why?" asked Hailey.

"Something might still be out there" said Sam his eyes shifting all around.

"Sam, Chris," Dean called to which me and Sam found Dean crouched down "There bodies were dragged from the campsite. But here the tracks just vanish. That's weird. I tell ya what it's no skin walker or black dog. "

Dean then stood at full height again and turned around and headed back to the group. Me and Sam followed him.

Hailey looked upset as she found her brother's cell phone. It looked like somethin had chewed on it as if it was taffy. Dean assured her that he was safe. Then we suddenly heard a shout for help. We sprung into action, Roy and Dean clutching their guns as we ran to find the voice that had called out. When stopped and looked around attentively.

"It seemed like it came from around here didn't it?" asked Hailey her hand resting on a tree.

Sam was poised like a cat and he looked worried "Everybody back to camp."

We made it back to camp to find the bag packs missing. I kinda laughed to myself as I was glad I didn't bring my bag and Hailey was the one fusing earlier to Dean about provisions.

"What the hell is going on?" she questioned looking slightly pissed.

"It's smart," said Sam thoughtfully with his hands his coat pockets "It wants to cut us off so we can't call for help."

Roy had his own theory and believed it was some loon who stole their stuff. I then began eavesdropping as Sam went over to Dean.

"I need to speak to you" whispered Sam "In private."

Heck if it was something regarding the situation I wasn't going to be left in the dark. I hadn't been shoved outta bed at daybreak in order to come out into this forest for nothin. If Sam knew what was out here then I wanted to be aware of it myself.

I sneaked cautiously to find Dean giving Dad's journal. I hide behind a tree as Dean almost spotted me.

"Aw come on," I heard Dean say "Wendigo's are in the Minnesota woods or northern Michigan. I've never heard of one this far west."

"A Wendigo?" I said making my appearance from behind the tree, they didn't look annoyed to my disappointment "You think a Wendigo is prowling about here Sam?"

Sam closed the journal "Think about it. The claws. The way it can make a human voice."

"Great" said Dean sarcastically holding up his pistol "I guess this is useless."

"We better get those folks to safety then if there's a Wendigo on the rampage" I said as Sam gave Dad's journal back to Dean "That would be the wisest plan I'd think."

Roy was pissed at Sam when he stated that we ought to leave the woods. Honestly I saw Roy as a bit of a dick. He thought he was badass and he'd protect everybody with his rifle. Who did he think he was? Rambo? Dean had to step in to calm Sam down as Roy was just being an asshole. Hailey then stated she wasn't leaving until she found Tommy. That was kinda stupid even though I know were she was coming from. There was a Wendigo somewhere out there. It was hardly teddy bears having a picnic.

"It's getting late," announced Dean looking round the group, "This thing is a good hunter during the day and an unbelievable hunter at night. We'll never bet it. Not in the dark."

Dean and I circled protection symbols into the dirt with sticks. Symbols a Wendigo couldn't cross. Dickface, or should I say Roy just laughed at us.

"Wendigo likes a sceptic Roy" I said scornfully glancing up at him, "Better watch out man."

I wandered about and I let out a sigh. Dad wasn't here. That much surprised me. He could of left us somethin? I knew this because I was eavesdropping again on Sam and Dean's conversation. I knew they'd didn't want me to get my hopes up and be disappointed. I was fine I told myself but that was a lie. I was worried but I bottled it up to save being fussed over like some little kid. Sam was just as eager as me to hit the road again. We had to get those people back to town. Even though it was my first Wendigo, I heard stories and I wasn't that keen. Not like I was scared or nothin, I just wanted to get back to finding Dad. I could hear Dean insisting we picked up on where Dad left. The typical hunt the monster or creature and save lives. The "family business" as he put it. He also warned Sam not to bury his anger inside him. That was rich coming from Dean. He was the expert in bottling emotions. I'm one to talk, I do the same from time to time. I blame Dean, I caught one of his bad habits. That and talking with an open mouth and being bad tempered and cocky, which always landed me in trouble.

I was then startled by a sudden cry for help. It sounded like the call from earlier. Everybody was on their feet and I switched on my flashlight as I heard the click of Dean's pistol from behind me. Sam was at my side with his flashlight. We scanned about in the dark and we heard the voice again.

"It's tryin to draw us out" stated Dean, "Just stay cool, stay put."

Me and the guys were cool but everybody else was crappin it. I shivered with the cold. I wasn't freaked. Not even when the voice got louder and a cat like growl was heard behind it. I only moved closer to Dean because he had a gun, there wasn't any other reason.

"It's here" I breathed.

Roy fired from his gun as the bushes rustled with movement and then the ass leaped over the protection line much to Dean's alarm. If he got eaten by the Wendigo it would be his own fault.

"Don't move!" he commanded Hailey and brother.

He also gave me his famous don't follow face before he and Sam charged after Roy.

"Like hell I am" I murmured running after them much to Hailey's dismay.

I gasped for breathe as I caught up with the guys. Dean once again was pissed because I didn't listen to him. Roy was gone nevertheless.

The next morning we had to explain to Hailey and her brother what a Wendigo was. Basically a Wendigo was once a human that was forced to turn to cannibalism. Other cultures also believe that feasting on the flesh of humans grants certain abilities such as speed and soon after years of this behaviour the person is no longer human. Knives and guns are useless and the only way to kill the sucker is to torch it.

We walked through the forest with Dean leading the way. I suddenly tugged on Sam's arm and pointed up at a bloody claw mark scrapped into the bark of a tree. Then it occurred to us that the marks were everywhere. The suddenly we heard the Wendigo close by. The bushes shook with movement, Sam stood in front of me in an attempt to shield me from what was coming our way. Hailey then screamed as Roy's dead body fell from a tree and the growls of the Wendigo intensified. Dean ushered us to run and before I could make a break of it myself, Dean grabbed my wrist and sped through the woods near enough dragging me through the leaves and dirt. I couldn't see Sam when I turned my head. Then I skidded to a halt when I saw the Wendigo standing in front of me, Dean and Hailey. Hailey let out a shrill scream. The Wendigo went for her and it thwarted me with a swoop of it's arm, and I flew into a tree, I swear I heard something break though it might have been a twig. It was darkness from that point.

I was woke with a start. My head was pounding and I could feel blood trickle down my eyebrow. My arms were high above my head with my hands were bound together with rope. I swung, as I was dangling off the ground and I couldn't touch the ground with my feet. It was dark around me as the Wendigo must have brought us to an abandoned mine.

I groaned trying to focus then I craned my head around and Dean was next to me along with Hailey. Both were tied up like me but at least they were closer to the ground. Suddenly there was a crash and I then saw Sam and Hailey's brother appear from the shadows. They rushed over to us.

"Bout time Sammy" I joked with a grimace "I've been hanging here for God knows how long. My arms are killing me."

Dean then was woken by Sam who then help us both down. I dabbed at my forehead. I had a small gash on my hairline were I probably hit it when the Wendigo catapulted me into a tree. I've had worse.

Hailey became away of another body hanging up. It was Tommy. Sam, Hailey and her brother went to him while me and Dean recovered. My hand grazed something and I nudged Dean.

"Check it out" Dean said holding up the pair of guns I found.

"Flare guns" smiled Sam "Those'll work."

We carefully moved through the mine and we stopped when we heard the snarl of the Wendigo.

"Looks like someone's home for supper" I stated sarcastically rubbing my bruised ribcage.

"We'll never out run it" said Hailey supporting Tommy upright with her brother.

Dean looked at Sam "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Sam, poised with the flare gun replied "Yeah I think so."

Dean then turned to the rest of us "Alright listen to me. Stay with Sam. He's going to get you outta here."

"What are you gonna do?" I asked, gripping a hold of his arm to which he just winked at me and move down the mine.

"It's chow time you freakin bastard," he shouted as we inched along the direction of Dean, "Yeah that's right bring it on baby! I taste good!"

Good grief! That was one way to gain the attention of a Wendigo. It was safe so we shuffled over to the right and through the labyrinth of tunnels. The Wendigo was heard again and Sam instructed us to run for the exit. I was stubborn and refused to leave Sam's side. I stayed close to him though, keeping a watchful eye and followed his orders. I listened to Sam. He didn't bark at me. Unlike Dean.

I felt a heavy breathing noise and I turned my head to see the Wendigo. Sam and I leapt back in fright as it howled in our faces. Sam then shot the flare and it missed the Wendigo. We then both dashed down the mine tunnel then we met Hailey and her brothers again. The Wendigo was hot on our heels. As always we hit a dead end.

"Keep behind me" said Sam as the Wendigo appeared again.

It was an fugly looking thing with gangly arms but it was armed with razor sharp claws. It snarled menacingly as it moved towards us. It then threw it's head back and let out a roar.

"Hey!" came Dean's voice as he fired the flare gun.

He got it right in the gut and the Wendigo was then engulfed in fire and it crumpled to the ground in flames. Dead.

Dean lowered the gun "Not bad huh."

Everybody was patched up when we got back to the ranger station. I looked like a dork with a band aid face. Me and the guys sat on the hood of the Impala as we watched Hailey and her brothers disappear in the back of an ambulance.

"Man I hate camping" Dean frowned.

"Me too" replied Sam .

"Me three" I chuckled resting my head on Sam's arm.

"Sam you know were gonna find Dad right" said Dean.

"Yeah I know" nodded Sam he then turned to Dean with a smirk "But in the meantime. I'm drivin."

Dean threw the keys to Sam and we climbed back into the Impala once more. I gave a small giggle as I leaned forward towards Dean.

"What?" asked Dean turning his head to face me.

"You didn't get the girl this time pal" I laughed as we drove away Hopefully in Dad's direction .
