Chapter 2: Body Like An Hourglass
It took a good five minutes for the boys to finally get outside. "So where are we going?" I asked looking at Sam.
"The case is in Washington D.C. I'll ride with you." Sam answered walking towards me. "That way I can give you directions and get you up to speed on the case."
"She doesn't need your help." Dean said stubbornly. "It isn't that hard to find the way to Washington D.C."
"Shut up Dean, you're just jealous that Sammy wants to ride with me instead of your grumpy ass." I retorted opening my car door. It was still the black 1965 Shelby Ford Mustang that I got when I was 17. "Besides I still need to be briefed on the case." I slid into my car in just enough time to catch Dean flipping me off. "He sure is a work of art." I mumbled to Sam.
Sam sighed and got in, "He still cares about you…really…he just has an odd way of showing it." I started the car and tapped on the steering wheel impatiently as I waited for Dean to get his precious Impala out of the way. I didn't care whether Dean cared for me or not because all my feelings for him went out the window long ago. "So what was the fight about?" Sam asked trying to fill the angry silence.
"I know you heard it. Don't act ignorant." I laid on the horn and yelled out my window. "Come on get going asshole!" I yelled out my window. "God, he's so irritating…he's laughing at me!" I could see him looking back at us, laughing.
Then to my irritation Sam started laughing hysterically. "You two are so much alike."
I punched him in the arm, "Shut it Sam. I don't need to hear your opinion." Finally Dean decided to get going and I followed him.
"So what have you been up to?" Sam asked turning so that he could look at me without turning his head.
I sighed, "Finished getting my bachelors and hunting mostly…nothing too interesting."
"What was you major?" He asked sounding actually interested.
"I double majored in Anthropology and Psychology. I thought it would help me with hunting…well the anthro part I just took psych because it seemed interesting." I kept my eyes one the road. "So how'd pre-law go?" I was glad that Sam settled for small talk because I was tired of talking about what happened between Dean and me.
"It went well until Dad ended up going missing. I swear when we find him I'm either going to hug him or kill him for doing that." Sam said a little cynically.
I nodded, "Yeah I know the feeling."
"You can't blame Dean for leaving." Oh great he was going to continue with the 'Dean cares about you' speech and just when I thought I was in the clear. "Our Dad is to blame. He has it instilled in Dean's brain that he has to fallow everything our father says like a good little soldier."
"Dude did he pay you to talk him up or are you just doing this to seriously piss me off?" I asked taking a quick glance at him and then looking back at the road.
"He hasn't been the same since the whole incident." Sam mumbled.
"News flash Sam, neither have I. Now can we please just stick to lighter subjects or even better the case."
Sam nodded, "We have found some weird things happening in Washington." Sam stated.
"Like Demon weird?" I had heard that the Winchesters were trying to catch and kill a demon, but would they really need my help with that?
Sam shrugged his shoulders, "We don't exactly know. There have been kidnappings, weird weather, bodies showing up with odd symbols carved into them and other basic signs."
"How many bodies with the carvings are there?"
"Six so far. But there could be more…there are more missing people that haven't been accounted for yet." Sam rubbed his eyes with a sigh. "I have never really seen a creature like this before and there's a whole trail behind it. The police think it's a serial killer but you and I both know that isn't true."
I nodded, "I picked up on the trail but I didn't really associate it with the Supernatural. I thought it was just a killer too. Who picked up on this?"
Sam grunted, "Our father. He called us and told us about it and then hung up." John was always good at connecting the dots, that's one reason he was such a good hunter.
When we needed to refuel Sam took the wheel and I took shot gun. I tried to ignore Dean by reading a book but that guy is stubborn. "So you read, huh?" He asked as he dangled a package of twizzlers and a mountain dew in front of my face. I just took the candy and soda and went back to reading. "What are you reading?" He looked at the cover and answered his own question. "Dante's Inferno. Hmmm…fitting."
I glared at him, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh nothing besides the fact you should get to know the place you're going before you get there." He sneered at me.
"Well in that case I guess I'll let you borrow it. I think you'd fit into rings 2, 3, 8 and 9. Second is Lust, Third is Gluttony, the Eighth is hypocrites, thieves and counterfeiters and the tenth is treachery. Finger's crossed for nine." I threw the book at him as hard as I could and it hit him in the head.
"Ow…that's a hardcover." He mumbled picking the book off of the ground. I took a bit of my twizzlers and turned so that my whole body was in the car. I guess he took that as his cue to leave because he closed the passenger door and walked to the Impala.
"Did you really have to throw a book at him?" Sam asked getting in the car.
I nodded, "Yes. I figure that if I was going to Hell I might as well aim for circle seven…I've always wanted to meet a Minotaur."
Sam shook his head and chuckled, "You are unbelievable."
I shook my head, "No I just don't want to be in the same ring as him. It's perfectly logical and believable."
A/N: okay so here's chapter two. Sorry it took me so long to update I was having major writers block…and a hard time concentrating on anything that wasn't moving. So I have referenced Dante's Inferno in here because I am currently reading it and I thought it would be the perfect read for Ryan. I will update Ryan's Journal either tonight or tomorrow so enjoy ^_^. Oh if you have any questions just ask I will be happy to answer them.
