Disclaimer: David and Paul are mine. So is Lucy. No one else is.
Author's Note: Short. Sorry. I'm trying hard to get past my writer's block on this story and that will probably cause the next few chapters to be short, but not bad, I hope. Happy reading!
Dean drove like a madman who had no idea where he was going. He had stopped in many of the popular local places in town, asking people if they had seen Paul and/or David. No one had even heard of them. So Dean resorted to driving around town, keeping an eye out for them. He was driving down an empty street full of empty apartment buildings.
Out of nowhere, a man ran in to the middle of the street. Dean was just barely able to stop before hitting him. The man ran over to the passenger side and ripped open the door. Before Dean was able to grab a weapon of any kind, the man sat down and closed the door. Dean finally recognized him as Paul.
"Drive," Paul commanded.
"Wait. Before I do-"
"GO! Or we'll never get away!" That was all Dean needed as he drove off as fast as he could. For some reason, he trusted this man.
"I wasn't expecting to get both of you here. This is a nice surprise." Lucy was confused. This was no beast. In front of them stood a man. His voice still came in whispers, but they seemed to reverberate off the cavern walls.
"You," Sam said. Lucy looked at him, confused. "I saw you in my vision. You were with that other guy when he shot Lucy.
"Wait. What? There was only one guy there," Lucy spoke up.
"That's the nice thing about being a demon. When I don't want you to see me, you won't see me."
"But I saw you," said Sam.
"That's because you are a special child. That's also why you are here. You have a psychic connection with both of your siblings."
"I don't understand."
"There is no need for you to understand. I'm going to kill you anyway." There was a flash of white light and Sam and Lucy had to cover their eyes. When they were able to look again, the beast had taken the place of the man. They finally got a good look at it. It looked like a Wendigo with fur. Almost like a werewolf. It came complete with fangs and claws. It was at least three times bigger than Sam. And Sam was no small guy. The beast lunged.
"Where are we going, Paul?" Dean asked once they were at the outskirts of town.
"There's a cavern about 50 miles from here. We need to get there as fast as we can." Paul was wringing his hands and there were clearly beads of sweat on his forehead. Dean could see that he was terrified.
"Why? How did you get away from that other guy?"
"He wasn't paying attention. He was occupied with something else. He doesn't need me anymore."
"What?"
"It takes a lot of his attention and energy to kill someone. It takes twice that much to kill two people."
"You mean-"
"Yeah. He's going to kill your brother and sister."
"Right now?"
"Right now. But if we can kill his human form, the form that is trying to kill your siblings will die as well."
"What form is trying to kill Sam and Lucy?"
"A beast. I can't really explain what it looks like."
"Why isn't he just having you kill them?" It hurt Dean to say that. He didn't want to think of anyone or anything killing his baby brother or sister.
"Because of you. You stand between their human forms and his power. You're their protector. With them stuck in this plane of reality he's brought them to, you can't physically stop him."
"See, though, I can. And I will." Dean had never failed his siblings before and he didn't intend to start now.
Back in the hospital room, Missouri continued her vigil at Lucy and Sam's bedsides. Both siblings hadn't moved a muscle in hours and Missouri wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. The sun was beginning to go down and Missouri reached for her cell phone to call Dean to check in.
Out of nowhere, both siblings let out a horrific scream.
