The Hamilton Inn
Chapter three
"Sammy!" Dean knelt down next to his brother. Sam was gasping for air as if he was drowning but he hadn't even been in the water. Dean stood up protectively in front of Sam, standing between the spirit and his brother. He cursed himself for not having the salt gun with him, but this had happened so unexpectedly.
Dean watched as the spirit stopped just short of coming onto the beach. It was hard to make out the face but it seemed to flicker between a pretty woman's face and a badly decayed face.
"Get away from him you bitch!" Dean yelled at the apparition, but without a salt gun there was no way to get rid of the spirit. By now Sam had fallen to his side and had stopped breathing, only then did the spirit drift back out to sea.
"Sammy? Sam?" Dean once more knelt by his brother but this time he pressed on his chest as he shouted. "Come on Sammy wake up!"
Dean was just about to tilt Sam's head back and breathe into his mouth when his brother finally came around. At first Sam panicked and pushed Dean away but within a few seconds he realized it was his brother kneeling next to him.
"You okay Sammy?" Dean looked into his brother's eyes.
"What….what happened?"
"You tell me."
"I don't know…. I was walking along the beach and all of a sudden I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I remember looking out into the ocean and then suddenly I felt like I was drowning. I couldn't catch my breath, I felt like my lungs were going to explode."
"You were actually puking up water Sam."
"I was? How could I, I wasn't even in the water."
"I don't know but…. did you see her?"
"Who?"
"The spirit."
"I just remember seeing a mist… but…."
"But what?"
"Do you think it was Evelyn Hamilton?"
"I don't know, it could have been."
"Maybe she was trying to tell me how she died."
"She drowned?"
"Or someone drowned her."
"Then her body could still be out in the sea." Dean stood up then reached down and helped Sam up.
They both stood looking out into the ocean.
"If that's true then there won't be a body to burn."
"And with no body to burn we can't stop her."
Dean looked over at his brother.
"I don't like it Sam. I'm thinking she can zone in on your psychic stuff and that's why she came after you."
"But she appeared to you too."
"Yeah but she didn't try to drown me."
"Maybe she wasn't trying to kill me."
"Well she sure seemed like she was."
"But she didn't."
"That's probably because I showed up. If you had been alone out here who knows what might have happened. A few more minutes and you could have died, or have brain damage from lack of oxygen." Dean gave Sam a small smile. "At least more brain damage then you already have."
"Very funny."
"Seriously Sam I don't want you going off by yourself, we stick together on this one."
"Dean I can take care of myself now that I know what I'm up against. We'll just have to keep our salt guns on us at all times. She comes back….I'll blast her, simple as that."
"It might not be as simple as that, besides the salt gun is only a temporary solution, it won't destroy her permanently. She killed all those people Sam, and there's no reason to think she won't kill us if she gets the chance."
