Chapter 2 : A Walk Around the Corner
"I'm just saying you scared them off" Dean said. "I did not" Sam said indignantly, this talk had begun hours ago and Dean wouldn't let it drop.
"She called you, a jackass, I mean you must have done something" Dean said "Ohh wait you did! You stuffed her into lockers for, like a year. And Langston practically ripped my ear off every time too."
"Well it's not like you didn't like the attention from Ruth, I mean you like brighten at the sight of her" Sam said in defense "And I sorry if I couldn't stand Willow, I mean she was so… bubbly and happy" Sam said with distant.
"I soo didn't 'brighten' at the sight of Langston, and you did enjoy Willows personality" Dean said with, if Sam didn't know any better, a sight bit of red in his cheeks.
"I did not" Sam said turning in his seat towards Dean's side of the car. "She was annoy, and stupid, and… very, very annoying." Sam said while slowly raising his voice.
The car got very silent for a moment, Dean kept his eyes on the road and Sam stared out the window. Sam suddenly gave a noise of annoyance.
"Jerk"
Dean turned his head towards Sam, giving him the Winchester cheeky smirk "Bitch"
"I'm just saying: stay quiet" Ruth said in an undertone "Why? Why would I need to stay quiet?" Willow said as though she had been hit in the face. "Because you have a habit making the families cry harder"
"I do not…" Willow said being cut off by the door of the house, opening slowly to reveal a red eyed woman.
"Good Afternoon Mrs. Dennis, we were Andy's friends, we're really sorry for your loss." Ruth cut in. "I'm sorry, but I don't seem to remember you." "Andy and I had a couple of classes together." Ruth said
"Oh well come in then" Mrs. Dennis said sounding almost excited; Willow assumed that Andy wasn't that popular of a person. "Andy and I had a chemistry class together, I would have come sooner but we had a falling out, and them I went on that class trip" Ruth went on, sounding somewhat pathetic.
"Yes, the class trip, where were you going again?" "To the swamp we were collecting samples that we would be studying." Ruth said without skipping a beat. If it's something that Ruth's good at its lying. Willow mused.
"But that's not why a came here, you see me and Andy had some mutual friends, and I was wondering if you knew where I could find them"
"No I don't think I do…" Mrs. Dennis said confused "They'd be new, maybe a little out of place, very dark clothing?" Willow said butting in, earning a look from Ruth and wasn't very nice.
"Yes, I do remember now they came around once or twice, but I never got their names"
"Do you think Andy did, maybe in an address book or something?" Willow asked going strait into hunter mode. "Everything's in his room" Mrs. Dennis said breaking up "Do you think that my friend, Willow could go look for it, we have a paper due and we were working with them on it." Ruth said while handing Mrs. Dennis a tissue
"Yes, of course, just don't move anything." Jackpot! Ruth gave Willow a nod and Willow quickly made her way down the hall "Second door to the right" Mrs. Dennis called after her.
Andy's room was…. different; black walls and flooring, it would have looked like a black hole if it weren't for the window. The floor had nothing on it, not even a sock or shirt which was odd. The desk was the only thing that looked somewhat normal, papers were stacked in piles, neat piles, and they all seemed to have to do with school so they weren't helping at all. Willow began to look through the little cupboards inside the desk, everything was relates to school, Yes, Andy was NOT a social person Willow gave a silent laugh then continued her search though the cabinets.
"Interesting" Willow said when coming to a locked cabinet. After picking the lock what Willow found put the icing on the cake. Inside there was what looked like a briefcase and a pure white book. Willows smile grew, if this wasn't what they were looking for then she would shave her head and never hunt again.
Opening the case she quickly placed the book inside then she sealed it again. Then opening the window she placed the case safely on the green grass, glancing down the street she noticed an Impala sitting at the curb, it didn't take her long to recognize it.
"Shit" she whispered opening the door only to hear the sounds of new voices, as the living room came into view, Willow anger rose sitting in her old seat was none other than Sam Winchester.
"Ah Willow, did you find what you were looking for?" Mrs. Dennis asked she seemed to be on cloud nine. "No unfortunately, I couldn't find it" Willows gave Ruth a look.
Ruth was deep in discussion with Dean over what sounded like AC/DC. "We should go. Shouldn't we Ruth?" Willow said with a tone lased with urgency.
Ruth wordlessly got out of her chair and together the said their goodbyes and walked out the front door.
"Get what we needed?" Ruth asked "Yeah, it's down the side of the house" Willow pointed toward the brick house beside the Dennis's .
"I'll go get it, you just keep walking." "'Kay"
As Ruth walked down the side of the house, there was a bag on the ground and Ruth assumed that it was what they were looking for, she bent down and picked up the bag, when she stood up she came face to face with Dean Winchester. He was standing by what looked like a desk, he was staring her strait in the eye Dean had a questioning look in his eye. Ruth just cocked an eyebrow and began to walk away.
When she met up with Willow at the bikes, she didn't tell her about the little meeting with Dean, she actually was having a hard time raping her head around it. The Winchesters they're hunters? It made sense after she thought about it. They were like them.
