After
the incident that involved me trying to kill Sam, and Sam telling me
that he had a vision of Dean dead, I couldn't sleep very well. Not
that I didn't have a valid reason.
So I ended up checking Dean's
pulse every time I woke up from a nightmare, which was often. I know
it sounds stupid but before Dean, I had been doing my very best to
keep my distance from men and not get attached. But being with Dean
was nothing I could have expected. I had become completely attached
to him and that alone was enough to scare the crap of me.
It
was around 9a.m. and I was lying on the bed I was sharing with Dean.
Both the Winchester men were out cold, Sam was snoring loudly. I
placed two fingers over Dean's pulse point on his neck and felt for
a steady beat, what I got instead was a groan,
"What are you
doing Kaiden?" He mumbled mostly into his pillow.
I quickly
pulled my fingers from where they were on his skin,
"Err,
nothing." I replied with a deep blush,
"I get it." He said,
"You just can't keep your hands off me."
I should have known that he would have the ability to be a smart-ass even when he had just woken up.
Dean rolled over and propped himself up on
his forearms, his body pressing against mine and his mouth only
inches away from my lips,
"You're pretty sure of yourself
Winchester."
He ran his fingers down my check,
"Yea,
well I can afford to be, especially with a hot chick like you."
I
laughed and shoved him away from me,
"You're an idiot."
I
slid out of bed and padded towards the mini fridge on the other side
of the room. I pulled out a bottle of water and took a long drink as
I watched Dean walk into the bathroom and turn on the shower.
He
poked his head out the bathroom door,
"You wanna join in on the
fun?" he asked me as his eyebrows rose suggestively,
"Ha!" I
said, "As tempting as that offer might be, I'll have to pass."
He
said something along the lines of "Your loss." and retreated back
into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
Sam woke up a
few minutes later looking like he had only gotten a few hours of
decent sleep,
"Morning Sam." I said as I sat down on the edge
of the bed, routing through my duffle bag,
"Morning." He
groggily replied.
I pulled out a pair of jeans and a baggy
sweatshirt over the boxers and t-shirt I had been previously sleeping
in,
"I'm going for food." I said to Sam as I grabbed my
wallet, shoved it in my pocket and walked out the door.
The
day was beautiful; the temperature was warm and the sky was
completely clear, perfect for walking.
I headed towards the quaint
little diner that was about 7 miles from where we were staying, I had
to walk along a long stretch of pretty much deserted country road,
but it was too nice to drive so I decided to tough it out. The
exercise would do me good.
It didn't even take me half an
hour before I was sitting on a stool at the counter in diner, waiting
for my order to be ready.
There was a man sitting a couple stools
down drinking a cup of coffee. He looked over and me and
smiled,
"They have really good food here."
I gave him a
friendly smile back,
"Yea, we've ate here a couple
times."
"We?"
"Me and some friends." The guy seemed
harmless so I didn't think I need to drop the 'I have a
boyfriend' hint,
"I see." He held out his hand, "I'm
Alex."
"Kaiden." I said shaking his hand
A matronly
waitress bought me my orders in three Styrofoam take-out containers.
I thanked the lady and gave Alex a smile before walking out.
I
bought a package of licorice and some other candy including peanut
M&Ms for Dean and me to share.
I hadn't been walking
back towards the motel for more than five minutes before a dark blue
Honda Civic pulled up beside me. I turned my head and looked through
the open window of the car, the guy from the diner, Alex, was staring
back at me,
"Let me give you a lift back to where you are
staying."
I shook my head,
"No thanks, I'm only a couple
minutes away."
He nodded his head and the car sped up, I
figured he had given up his attempt to hook up with me, but the car
pulled to a complete stop a couple meters ahead of me. He got out of
the car, walked up to me and stood uncomfortably close,
"Let me
give you a ride." His words weren't a suggestion, they were a
command.
I suddenly became uncomfortable, I had only just
noticed that I had left the main part of town and was now walking
down the long stretch of road with not much around.
The man must
have seen my unnerved expression and figured I'd bolt, he closed
the minimal distance between is and wrapped his strong fingers around
my wrist, forcing me to drop the food and candy I had been carrying.
I tired to wrench my arm out of his grasp, but he only tightened his
grip into one that I knew would bruise my fair skin.
"What
do you want from me?"
"I've been watching you for weeks.
You're here with two men. I saw you kissing and holding hands with
the one, tempting me, like some slut. Get in the car, I want my
turn."
Whoa, this guy had been watching me? That was just a
tad too creepy, and the fact that he had called me a slut pissed me
off in a major way. There was no way in hell I was tempting him
either. This guy was clearly some kind of maniac,
"Look." I
said through clenched teeth, "I don't know who you think you are,
but you are sure as hell better let me go. I am not someone you want
to mess with."
He pulled something out of his pocket; it was
a handful of pills,
"I promise you it won't hurt much."
I
did what any girl in my position would do; I screamed.
Alex
dragged me to his car, and when I wouldn't stop screaming he
slammed my face into the door frame of the car.
I quieted, I was
literally seeing stars. He took advantage of my stunned condition and
shoved the handful of pills into my mouth and cut my air off by
covering my mouth and nose until I swallowed the pills.
I gulped air after he released his grip and keened him right between the legs while simultaneously punching him in the solar plexus.
Once
he had dropped to his knees in pain and I had delivered one last
blow, rendering him unconscious I ran as fast as my legs would take
me back to the motel.
Whatever pills that Alex guy had drugged me
with were beginning to take affect as I ran, my limbs became heavy
and running became difficult.
As I reached the door to our motel room my motor skills were not entirely functional, I was having some issues getting the key in the lock and the fact that my eye was swelling from where it had hit the car wasn't helping either.
Tears burned my eyes and rolled down my cheeks, the panic from what had happened was setting in and there was nothing I could do to control the hysterical sobs. They key slipped from my fingers and I started banging on the door as hard as I could.
The
door swung open and Sam was standing in front of me wearing some
jeans and a brown hoodie, I threw myself at him as more tears poured
down my face,
"Kaiden?" Sam asked with an alarmed voice.
I
heard the creek of bed springs and feet moving quickly across the
room, and before I knew it, I wasn't resting my face on Sam's
sweater, I as crying into Dean's t-shirt clad shoulder,
"Shhh,"
He said, "You're okay. You're okay now. What happened?"
I
found myself extremely woozy; my legs wobbled and gave out from under
me. Dean caught me in his strong arms and helped me to the bed,
"Sam
what's going on?" he asked in a panicked voice.
Sam's face
appeared in front of mine, I could see his mouth moving the only
thing I could hear was a sound that was something like an out of tune
radio.
I stood up shakily and moved as fast as my legs would
allow me to the mini fridge, dumping salt and water into a glass and
chugging it down. I made it to the bathroom just in time for my
stomach to empty it's self into the toilet. I felt slightly better
and leaned against the shower stall, still pretty weak.
I figured
I would be okay since I had thrown up most of what I had been drugged
with, but I was still pretty damned shaky, my entire body felt like
Jell-O.
I turned to Sam and Dean, who had followed me into the
bathroom,
"What happened?" Dean asked,
"A m-man
att-tacked me." He kept talking but it was barely audible through
my hysteria, I could tell Dean hadn't caught a word of it so Sam
translated for him,
"He drugged her." Sam said, his face and
voice dead serious.
Dean lifted me from where I was sitting
and wrapped his arms around my shaking body,
"Do you think
she'll be alright?"
Sam shrugged,
"We don't know what
he gave her, or how much of it. She should probably get checked out
at a hospital."
"No." I said as I shook my head, there was
no way I was going to a hospital, not after being in one so
recently.
Dean helped/carried me back to the bed and I told
him and Sam everything that had happened form when I left the room to
when I knocked the guy out and sprinted back to the motel.
Dean's
eyes were dark with rage,
"Sam you stay here with Kaiden." He
bit out as he walked across the room and shrugged on his leather
jacket,
"Where are you going?" Sam asked,
"Out." Was
Dean's only reply as he walked out of the room and closed the door
behind him.
"He's going to do something stupid and get himself
killed." Sam muttered to himself.
"Sam you need to go track
Dean down." I said after we sat in silence for a few minutes.
He
nodded his head and zipped up his sweater,
"Are you sure you'll
be okay?"
I informed him that I would be fine and he left,
hoping to go track down Dean on foot.
I made sure the door and
windows were locked up before I put on one of Dean's button up
flannel shirts and climbed into bed. I had been wearing Dean's
clothes quite a bit lately, mostly because it had been a really long
while since any of my garments had seen a washing machine, Dean's
clothes just didn't seem to get dirty the same way mine did. I
think it was because Dean wasn't falling down all the time and
getting mauled on hunts like I did.
I was curled up in bed
watching infomercials, I was half way through the one with the guy
cutting shoes with a knife when the door unlocked and opened.
My
stomach clenched in fears, but I relaxed when I saw Sam and Dean walk
across the threshold,
"What happened?" I asked,
"We found
him." Dean said, avoiding my eyes
"And…?"
"And,"
Sam said, "He has Dean to thank for a broken nose and a couple of
broken ribs."
Dean sat down on the bed beside me, his jacket
wet from the rain that must have started after I got back to the
motel,
"So now what?" I asked, "The guy had been watching
us. He seemed crazy, acting like-"
"Jason?" Dean cut
in
Jason was exactly who I had been thinking about, but it was
weird that it was Dean's first guess
"What's going on that
you're not telling me?" I demanded, looking back and forth
between Dean and Sam.
Sam sighed and sat down on the bed
across from me,
"He talked about a man with yellow eyes." He
said in a tired voice,
My mouth hung open,
"The yellow eyed
demon got to him?"
Both the Winchesters nodded,
"What do we
do now?" I questioned,
"We pack up. Drive as far away from
here as we can and find a job, keep ourselves busy and out of sight."
Dean said as he began tossing his things into his bags.
I stood up
and followed suit.
I knew one thing was for certain, I sure as
hell wasn't getting any sleep tonight.
