Chapter 2 - A Place To Stay
'Fresh air!' exclaimed Dean as he exited the hospital on his crutches two days later. Sam walked out behind him, also grateful for the air.
'Yeah, it's nice,' he said.
Dean smiled in delight at his fixed Impala, and eased his way into the passenger seat. Sam retrieved the crutches, throwing them into the back seat, and slid himself gently behind the wheel. They sat there in silence, still amazed that they were alive.
'What next?' asked Sam. He glanced at Dean, who was looking thoughtful.
'Well…I think we should hang around here. I mean, we'd be near the hospital, and they know our injuries best…'
'Is that really a smart idea though?' Sam asked skeptically. 'I mean…that demon could pop up anywhere. It's not safe.'
'Aw c'mon Sam. You said yourself that it wanted to wait until we're not injured. So we should stay.'
'This isn't because of the hospital…is it Dean?' Said Sam., a grin creeping onto his face. 'This is about Katie. You don't want to leave her.'
'No Sam, that's not it,' Dean said defensively, a little too quickly.
'Haha! I knew it! Dean and Katie sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Dean with the baby's carriage!' Sam smiled in delight as Dean punched his arm.
'Dude you are sick.'
'Whatever,' sighed Sam in between laughs. They both jumped as someone knocked on the driver's side window. Katie peered in.
'Did I scare you?' she asked innocently when Sam rolled the window down. 'What are you guys doing? You've been sitting in here for five minutes now.'
'We're just not sure if we should stay here, where we're close to the hospital, or continue on to wherever we were going before we came here,' replied Dean.
'Oh you guys should stay!' said Katie enthusiastically. 'I mean…it would be smart to stay near the hospital.'
'Well, that's good and all, but we don't really have enough money for a hotel,' said Sam firmly.
'No problem,' said Katie smoothly. 'I live in a house that's too big for one person; there's room for you guys, free of charge. I insist that you stay.'
'Well there you go,' said Dean to Sam. 'Looks like we can stay after all. Thankyou Katie.' He smiled warmly at her.
'You can just follow me in my car,' she said, and walked off.
'Gees Dean, you are so annoying sometimes!' grumbled Sam. He sighed with defeat and pulled out after Katie.
It was a five-minute drive to Katie's house. The house was single story, with an attic,old and wooden, part of the walls covered in ivy.
'That's creepy,' muttered Sam.
'Huh?' asked Dean softly. Sam glanced at his brother, who was staring intently straight ahead.
'Don't you think the house is creepy?' he repeated.
'Uh...yeah whatever Sam, do whatever you want.'
Sam followed Dean's gaze to see Katie bending over into her trunk, trying to retrieve a lost item. Her skirt was now effectively shorter than it should be.
'You sicken me Dean,' said Sam, getting out of the car.
Dean finally glanced at Sam. 'What?'
Sam just rolled his eyes and walked away.
'Uh Sam…' Dean called out. 'Little help? I kinda have a cast on my leg.'
Sam grabbed some of Katie's bags and escorted her inside, ignoring Dean.
'Sam? SAM! GET YOUR TALL ASS BACK HERE!'
