I jerked awake as someone started shaking me, rather roughly.
"We have to go." Dean's voice said and I groggily opened my eyes to see him sitting on the bed next to me. "Wakey, wakey."
I sighed and shoved his hand away. "I'm getting up. Don't do that again."
I rolled out of bed, grabbing my bag and going into the bathroom to change. I dressed in dark blue jeans, white sneakers, and a black T-shirt with a v-neck. I tied a red hoody around my waist before brushing through my hair and going out to Sam and Dean who already had everything they thought we'd need. I followed the two of them out to the Impala and climbed in the back, brushing my hair out of my face.
It wasn't that long until we were pulling up in front of Haley, Ben, and another Ranger who I recognized as Roy. Haley shook her head as we climbed out of the car, Sam going around to pull the duffel bag out of the trunk.
"You guys got room for three more?" Dean questioned, looking at them as Sam came around, the duffel slung over his shoulder.
"Wait, you want to come with us?" Haley inquired of us. I rolled my eyes. What else would we be talking about?
"Who are these guys?" Roy asked, though he looked at me with recognition.
"Apparently this is all the park service could muster up for the search and rescue." Haley answered. Just another reason I didn't like our cover story.
Sam headed past all of us.
"You're rangers?" Roy asked us, looking at me in particular.
"That's right." Dean answered and I looked at him, following Sam.
Roy reached out and grabbed my arm. "And you're saying she's a ranger?"
"Yes." I answered, glaring at him. "It was specially worked out."
"And you're hiking out in biker boots and jeans?" Haley was asking Dean.
Dean looked down at himself. "Well, sweetheart, I don't do shorts."
"What, you think this is funny? It's dangerous back country out there. Her brother might be hurt." Roy said, letting go of my arm.
Sam turned back.
"Believe me, I know how dangerous it can be. We just wanna help them find their brother, that's all." Dean said, heading past Sam.
We hiked for hours through the woods, Sam and me at the rear as Roy lead everyone. Dean seemed very intent on mocking our temporary guide. I said temporary because I knew that once the creepy stuff started he probably wouldn't know how to deal with it any more then I did at the moment. I was more or less an apprentice.
"Tell me, uh, Bambi or Yogi ever hunt you back?" Dean was saying as I tuned into his conversation with the hunter. Sam and I looked on as Roy grabbed Dean, who spoke calmly. "Whatcha doing, Roy?"
Roy picked up a stick and poked the ground and I jumped as a bear trap was triggered and I realized that Dean had almost stepped in it. Haley seemed annoyed.
"You should watch where you're stepping..." Roy said, mockingly. "...Ranger." He dropped the stick and retook the lead.
"It's a bear trap." Dean said, stating the obvious before we continued on.
"You didn't pack any provisions. You guys are carrying a duffel bag. And she's at most sixteen years old. You're not rangers." Haley said, catching up to Dean and grabbing his arms. "So who the hell are you?"
I watched as Ben went past Haley and Dean. I looked at Dean and his expression indicated that Sam and I should continue on by. I followed Sam as he obeyed.
"So.." I said, looking up at Sam, trying to start conversation. "...how are you dealing with the bombshell I dropped on you guys last night?"
"I think a better question would be how are you dealing with being back here after what happened?" Sam murmured.
"I'm fine." I said, looking around at the trees. They seemed ominous though that was probably just my head playing with me. "I've moved on."
Sam didn't seem to believe me, but he let it drop and I smiled at him before pushing ahead.
(Sorry that this chapter is so short. I hit a case of writer's block, but I wanted to post something for those of you who have reviewed and read my story. I don't own anything except Cameron. And it took me so long to update because I'm in the middle of finals and I wanted to make what I did post sound good. So please bear with me and review.)
