……………………………………………CHAPTER 6……………………………………...
Pulling up at the end of a street Dean looks on as police cars and CSI vans remain parked up outside a house covered in Police tape. Pulling out a fake police ID badge and retrieving his EMF reader from the glove compartment Dean gets out of his car and heads towards the back gardens of the estate. After jumping over the fourth fence Dean finds himself in the right garden and then quickly hides behind a tree as he sees a policeman in the kitchen drinking some coffee and looking out of the window. Scanning the house Dean notices a drain pipe that leads up to a ledge just outside what looks like a bathroom window. Waiting for the right moment for when the policeman looks away Dean makes his move and jumps on to the drain pipe and begins to climb. Entering the bathroom then checking that the hallway is clear, Dean makes his way towards the bedroom which is clearly marked by police tape that takes on the form of a big X. Pulling out the EMF reader and tearing down the tape Dean enters the bedroom and starts to walk around. Scratch marks cover the walls while pools of blood scatter the carpet causing Dean to carefully watch every step he takes so as not to disturb any evidence.
Standing at the foot of the bed Dean looks around the room trying to take in the morbid visions that surround him. Blood splatter is across each four walls while the bed itself looks like a red swimming pool just waiting for someone to dive in and take a swim. Moving the EMF reader around each wall it suddenly makes a noise towards a scratch mark that is just above the beds headboard. Putting the EMF reader back in to his pocket, Dean pulls out his knife and starts to dig at something inside the scratch mark. Holding out his hand Dean catches an object and holding it up towards the light from the window he sees what looks like the tip of a finger nail that is two inches long. Putting the nail into his pocket Dean takes one more look around the room and then leaves.
Walking back to the car Dean pulls out his phone and begins to dial a number.
"Ellen, it's me Dean. Listen you were right. I've just checked the house over and it's more than a bear attack. I need you to ask Ash if he can pull up any files on the dead guy and also any files relating to his attack. I'm heading back to the hospital but you can reach me on my cell. Ok bye."

With his father's journal resting on his lap Dean sleeps soundly in the corner of the hospital room. All is silent apart from the occasional beep coming from Sam and Nina's heart rate monitors but the silence is soon broken by laughter. Lying on the floor at the bottom of the beds is Sam and Nina. Holding his stomach in agony Sam looks at Nina who continues to laugh and finish her story.
"And then this whole plate of spaghetti just fell all over him, it was so funny, he was so mad with me."
Wiping the tears of laughter away from her eyes Nina rolls on to her stomach while Sam takes a deep breath and tries to calm down his stomach while at the same time still laughing to himself.
"I haven't laughed like that for a long time." Sam says joining Nina as he too rolls onto his belly. "Do you miss your Dad?"
"Of course. I just wish I had more time with him you now. What about you?"
"The same."
Feeling the awkwardness of their feelings growing between them Nina quickly tries to change the conversation.
"I see your brother is finally getting some sleep."
Just as Nina finishes her sentence Sam leans in and kisses her. Pulling back in shock Nina pauses for a moment but then jumps on Sam pinning him down and kisses him back. Rolling Nina over on to her back Sam lies on top of her and finds his hands begin to wonder stroking her stomach and chest. Running her hands through his hair Nina looks deep into Sam's eyes.
"Is this wrong? I mean we should be trying to figure out what to do, shouldn't we?"
"I don't know." Sam says moving some hair out of Nina's face before standing up and then helping Nina to her feet.
Dusting themselves down Sam and Nina face each other.
"Ah to hell with it." Nina says jumping onto Sam placing her lips against his as they fall to the floor.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Cradling Nina in his arms while she strokes his chest through his unbuttoned shirt Sam looks up at the ceiling full of so much happiness he doesn't notice the coldness of the marble floor beneath him.
"Do you think we will ever get back into our bodies?"
"Dean has got Ellen and Ash working with him. They won't stop until we are back with them."
Giving Sam one more kiss, Nina stands up followed by Sam who begins to do up his shirt. Running her fingers through her hair Nina begins to feel the warm sensation fill her head followed by that of pain. Grabbing her forehead Nina begins to sway back and forth unnoticed by Sam until she falls to the floor in a heap.
"Nina?"
As Sam touches Nina he feels his stomach being ripped away from his body causing him to shut his eyes and focus himself away from the pain.
Opening their eyes and standing up Nina and Sam find themselves in the middle of yet another deserted street which is in complete darkness. Holding on to Sam's hand Nina looks towards the houses until she notices a porch light begin to flicker on the nearest house. In an instant Sam and Nina find themselves inside yet another living room of a house they don't recognise. As the lights begin to flicker up the stairs and on the hallway Sam takes the lead keeping a firm grip on Nina's hand the whole way.
Entering the bedroom Sam and Nina see a middle aged couple asleep in their bed. Watching the hallway lights begin to flicker brightly the all too familiar creature appears in the door way. Jerking itself along the bedroom until it is next to the bed the creature takes in a wheezy breath as it stares down at the woman. Slowly opening her eyes the woman jumps up and pulls the sheets up towards her chest as if to protect herself. Banging on her husband's back the woman desperately tries to wake him although he doesn't move. Looking back at the creature in fear the woman covers her ears along with Sam and Nina as it lets out its harrowing scream. Taking a step back Nina finds herself making contact with the dressing table behind her.
"Sam." Nina says pulling on Sam's elbow and spinning him around. "We can touch things." Placing her hands on the table Nina begins to touch random objects.
As the creature's screaming stops it flicks out its hands to reveal the six inch claws that have retracted from its fingers nails. Desperately screaming for help the woman begins to pull on her husband's shoulders begging for him to wake up. With its right hand in the air the creature gets ready to sweep down on the woman when it is suddenly forced against the wall as Nina jumps on its back. Falling off, Nina is helped up by Sam who pulls her back out of the creature's way as it begins to swipe at the air behind it where she was just standing.
"What are you doing?" Sam yells as they watch the creature look around the room unable to see them.
"I couldn't save the last guy and so I'm not gonna let that thing take her. We can touch things here Sam, we can help."
The woman remains in her bed with the sheets pulled up to her mouth as she watches the creature take one final sweep at the air and then turning its attention back towards her.
"Sam please we have to help her!"
Knowing that Sam won't release his grip Nina pushes him aside and attacks the creature. In an instant Nina lashes out and makes contact with the creature's necklace causing it to break away and fall to the floor. The creature begins to scream out in pain while Nina is pulled back once again by Sam's strong arms. As the creature continues to scream and the woman pulls the sheets over her head, a bright green light begins to shine out from the pendant. All of a sudden the light gets stronger causing Sam and Nina cover their eyes as the light engulfs them.

Giving a slight twitch Dean wakes himself up and finding himself in the hospital room he sits himself up and rubs his eyes before placing his father's journal back in to the safety of his bag. Looking over towards his brother's sleep filled state, Dean's heart skips a beat as both heart rate monitors begin to flat line. Before Dean can even stand up, Sam and Nina sit up taking in a big deep breath of air just as the heart rate monitors explode. Dean rushes over to Sam's side who, like Nina, is trying to calm down his breathing. Covered in sweat and slightly disorientated Sam looks at Dean.
"Sammy….Sammy are you ok?"
Sam struggles to talk while Nina lies back down holding on to her chest.
"V…Vision." Sam spits out.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
With the help of a nurse Sam takes a sip of water while Nina remains asleep in her bed. As the nurse leaves, Sam looks towards Nina and then over to Dean who is in the doorway talking to the doctor.
"So what's wrong with them?"
"Actually we are not too sure. We still can't figure out the reason for their induced coma and now all they are showing is signs of exhaustion."
"Exhaustion?"
"Yes, quite severe exhaustion. The only thing they both need is plenty of bed rest. They should be free to go in a day or so."
"Ok, thank you doctor."
Just as the doctor goes to leave he turns back to Dean.
"Sorry, just one more thing. You said that you are Mr Woods brother, is that right?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Oh no reason, just for some of our paper work we need to fill out."
As the doctor leaves Dean takes a seat next to Sam's bed.
"Sammy what happened?"
Sam tries to sit himself up but fails causing Dean to help him up.
"I don't know Dean, it was weird. One minute we were outside the Motel room and then the next we were in this street and we saw a man getting killed by some creature."
"You had a vision?"
"It wasn't mine, it was Nina's." Sam and Dean look over to Nina who remains sleeping.
"You got pulled into her vision."
"Yes, we must be connected somehow, I don't really understand it."
"Listen I'm gonna get some coffee and when I get back you can tell me exactly what happened ok. In full detail."
Dean walks out of the room and heads towards the coffee machine that is by the nurse's station. While Dean sorts through his change he begins to hear Sam's doctor and nurse talking.
"And room 302? What should we do there?" Dean hears the nurse say.
"Just complete bed rest, check on them every couple of hours but they should be ok. If you could ring the police for me and then let me now when they arrive that would be great."
"So you're still going ahead with calling in the authority's then sir?"
"Well of course Jane. Stealing someone's identity is a crime. That man and his brother in there are as much who they say they are as I am Superman. Heavens knows who that girl is."
"But Doctor how can you be sure that their not telling the truth?"
"The James Woods who is on the insurance card that man gave us doesn't have a brother. Not a step brother, adopted brother or even a brother in law. I shall be in my office so you can reach me in there."
"Yes sir."
Dean quickly runs back to the room and shuts the door.
"What's wrong?" Says Sam as Dean pulls out two clear plastic bags of clothes from the cupboard.
"We need to get out of here. There on to us with the fake insurance card. Here's your clothes get dressed." Dean throws Sam his bag of clothes and pulls across the curtain.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Checking that the hallway is clear Dean leaves the room carrying Nina who remains asleep in his arms and still wearing her hospital gown. Sam follows Dean holding the bag containing Nina's clothes but falls against the wall as he struggles to keep himself up straight.
"Dude you ok?" Dean says as he hitches Nina up and tightens his grip.
"I'm fine just tired, keep going."
The trio quickly make their escape through a fire exit door as a bunch of Doctor's walk down the hallway.
Dean and Sam quicken their pace as they reach the car park and place Nina on the back seat of their car before speeding away.
Stepping outside room 302 the doctor adjusts his white coat as the two policemen either side of him hold on to their guns that remain locked in their holsters.
"Now the boy and girl in the hospital beds will have to stay here for just a little while longer, but the other guy I guess you can take away and interview." The doctor says before opening the door and looking towards the beds where the shapes of two bodies can be seen lying underneath the covers. The policemen stand by the door while the doctor goes over to Sam's bed and then looks down in amazement. Pulling back the sheet he sees three pillows placed in the bed to give the illusion that it was still occupied. Pulling back the sheet on Nina's bed and seeing some more pillows he looks over to the policemen who begin to shake their heads.
