"Room 21 guys" Lee yelled to the others sitting in the car as he chucked Dean the Keys.

Dean got back into the car and moved it so it was parked just outside the unit labeled "21"

"Home sweet home" he smiled as he thought of a hot shower and a bed.

Sam looked at the unit. "You sure this is the right room?" he glanced at Dean.

Dean pointed to the number on the door "Room 21"he said slowly as if Sam was a child. "That's the room Lee said we're staying in Sammy… 2…. 1…. 21." He said pointing to each number.

"You're a real jerk you know that?" Sam replied

"we can't all be geek boys" Dean smirked as he shoved Sam and opened the door.

The boys walked into the hotel unit, Lee followed, carrying his sleeping sister. The unit was huge… and would have been expensive.

"Dude, you paid for all of this?" Dean staggered

Lee laughed. "It's the least I could do for you guys. Besides I've got money saved up and Kris needs a good sleep after today." He lowered his sister onto a bed.

"Wow, thanks Lee." Sam caught Dean's eye as his older brother mouthed 'Geek boy'

'jerk' he mouthed back. Sam turned bright red when he saw that Lee had seen him.

"I'll go get our first aid kit and we can get Kristen cleaned up." Sam ran out to the car, returning with a large bag.

Lee carefully nudged Kristen. "Kris, Kris you gotta wake up now k?"

Dean was sitting on the edge of the bed across from Kristen.

"Seems almost cruel to wake her up aye?"

"Cruel doesn't even come close" Kristen groaned

"Sorry, we've gotta check you out though." Lee said as he leaned forward and brushed her hair out of her face.

"It's not like I have any serious wounds. Can I grab a shower first?" she pleaded

"You feel up to it?" Dean asked Kristen.

Kristen slowly got to her feet, everyone stepping closer and waiting to catch her.

"I'll be fine guys" she said as she walked calmly through the door. Shutting it behind her.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

Kristen emerged from the shower about half an hour later.

"Sorry, I lost track of time" she grinned shyly.

Dean and Sam looked up and smiled. Kristen was quite pretty underneath all the mud and blood. Her hair was tied back. Deep bruises and scratches covered her pale skin, but even in this beaten state, she had a shine to her. She looked strangely comfortable in one of her brother's shirts and boxers.

"Lee's gone out for a bit. Do you mind if I have a look at those scratches? They look pretty nasty." Sam smiled kindly.

"Sure" Kris went and sat on the bed by Sam.

"Would you guys mind?"

Sam and dean both turned away while Kristen took off her top and lay face down on the bed.

She didn't seem uncomfortable showing the two brothers the cuts on her body but dean decided to busy himself with the laptop anyway.

"Woah" Sam whispered, looking at the patchwork of scratches across her back.

Dean looked up from the screen and felt his heart quicken at the sight. He swallowed his anger and took in her form. Sam moved towards Kris and started to clean her cuts, breaking dean from his trance so he pulled his attention back to the laptop.

When Sam had cleaned and dressed the wounds on her back Kristen carefully rolled onto her back, her brother's shirt covering her chest and Sam continued to rub antiseptic into the wounds. Whenever Kris would wince, Sam would apologize and dean would shoot a look over the screen.

"Ah…. Dean, I think you need to take a look at this."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The two brothers looked at each other and then back at Kristen. Her collarbones had deep cuts under them where Scott had dug his fingers. The wounds were red and had lines spreading out from the centre.

"They look infected, and they're still bleeding" Sam explained to Kris who looked worried at the brothers faces.

Dean leaned closer. "There's something in there" he grabbed the tweezers out of Sam's hand and turned to Kris.

"This is going to hurt" she nodded at him and he pushed the tweezers into the wound. Kristen's body tensed and her hands grasped at the bed beneath her. Sam held onto her hand and rubbed his thumb over her wrist trying to calm her down.

She gasped as Dean pulled out a sharp shard.

"It's a fingernail, a bloody fingernail. That son of a…"

Sam stared at the shard. "Are there any more?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

20 minutes, 4 fingernail shards and multiple swearwords later Kristen sat on the bed in a now bloody shirt. Sam was on the phone to lee making sure he'd get extra bandages at the shops before he came back.

"Hey" dean put a hand on Kristen's shoulder. "here, put this on" Kristen took the shirt dean offered her.

"thanks" she went into the bathroom and freshened herself up putting on the clean shirt that had a hint of deans scent. She smiled and came out of the bathroom.

"Lee's going to buy you some clean clothes" Sam smiled.

"Cool, coz I don't wanna look like a boy for the next couple of days"

Dean smirked; she looked nothing like a boy… she was too… fresh. Like clean sheets. What was he thinking??? Clean sheets? This girl business was turning him into a pansy.

"I'm gunna go see if they've got a pool table around here somewhere" he grabbed his coat, making sure to get just one more glimpse of her smile before he left. "I need a beer" he grumbled as he walked down the hallway.
