Chapter Four

Athena cracked her eyes open. She was in a dark room. Her clothes were torn, and all she felt was cold and pain. Her arms had cuts up and down them and her leg was throbbing. She didn't know if it was broken or not, or what was wrong. But that was the least of her worries right now.

"Hello? I'd like to talk with your manager please?" Athena called. "I'm not satisfied with the service at this motel… or hotel. What exactly is this place?" No one answered. But moans came from nearby. "Hey, I'm not alone. What's your name? I'm Athena."

"You know who I am Blondie."

"Sage!" Athena crawled over to where the noise came from. She felt a woman curled up, she too was bloody, and she sounded exhausted. "You never came to the bar last night… or earlier. I don't remember which. Why not?"

"How dumb are you? And what bar? Do you think I could've gotten to a bar even if I wanted to? We're in the middle of nowhere locked in a cold dark room." Athena shrugged.

"Sam, Dean and Autty will find us. No worries. So do they feed us or water us or are we just here to laugh at?"

"Oh it'll feed and water us. But along with that we get abused too."

"Wow, we're stuck in hell. Got any idea how long you've been here?"

"No. And why are you so happy? God knows how long you'll be here. Or if you'll even live to see those boys and your sister again."

"Eh, I trust them enough. I think we'll be out of here in a week, tops."

"Don't be so sure, Blondie." Just then Athena heard footsteps coming from the other side of the room. A door opened and Athena saw a man's silhouette.

"Aiden, I'm gonna kick your ass!" The man just laughed. A very familiar, but somehow evil laugh.

"Sam?"

Autumn tossed the brown paper towel in the waste basket under the sink and sighed. The sink had been sopped with water that she'd taken the liberty to clean up, while waiting on the four women in line in front of her. She pulled open the door and headed back out into the dimly lit bar room.

"Autty. Where's Athena?" Sam seemed to of come out of nowhere and grab Autumn.

"She's with Aiden. Why?" Autumn replied, confused.

"No she's not. Dean and I got in an argument and when I looked back over there she was gone."

"What?! Do you guys have any idea where she might be?"

"No, if we did we'd be there instead of here. I was in hopes Athena just went to the bathroom and Aiden went … somewhere else."

"No, Sammy. She wasn't in the bathroom and I've not seen Aiden in a few minutes."

"So some ass just walked out of here with Athena and none of us noticed? God how stupid can we get?"

"Look Sam, we're going to find her. And Sage, since she's not showing up here. And then we're going to kill the son of a bitch that took Athena."

"Well first thing's first, we've got to get Dean and get the hell out of here."

"Go ask the bartender if he seen Athena leave with anyone. That should give us a head start on finding her. And if he says yes, then we'll get the hell out of here. Otherwise we're doing a search." Sam walked over to the bar and sat down, he figured that was the easiest way to get a bartenders attention.

"Hey, what can I get for you." the bartender asked.

"Well, I need help. See I lost my friend, she was blond, had a mini skirt on and those knee-high boots?"

"Was she wearing a jean jacket and a red pink tank top too?"

"That's her."

"Yeah, she left about 15 minutes ago with a guy about your height. Shaggy brown hair. Cuts in his jeans, a red short sleeved shirt. You know the way the kids dress these days."

"Yeah. Thanks so much."

"Not a problem. Now what can I get for you?" Sam cocked his eyebrow at the senile man before walking back over to Dean and Autumn.

"He seen her leave with a guy he said had cuts in his jeans, a red shirt and shaggy brown hair."

"Sounds a lot like you Sammy. Are you sure you don't have a clone?" Dean joked.

"Dean this isn't the time for kidding around. Athena's gone and I'll be damned if I'm not going to find her. With or without your help."

"Sam we're going to find her. Don't worry." Autumn reassured.

"I know we are. I just don't know how long it will take. Let's get back to the motel and try to work this out."

"Okay, so Sage calls, she says Rick was beating on her. But Rick is dead, so that means this thing is either a necromancer, or a shape shifter." Autumn stated.

"Right, and so we go to the bar where she told us to meet her. The handwriting on the note and the handwriting on Autumn's burn crap didn't match. And if that's not enough, the note didn't sound like Sage wrote it." Dean agreed.

"Okay, so Sage didn't show up at that bar. A guy takes Teenie, and whatever it was didn't want Dean and I there, so of course it would take one of you girls." Sam said.

"Maybe it found out we were there and took it's chance of taking Athena while it could. I mean you and I were arguing, Autumn was in the bathroom. No one was paying attention so it's perfectly easy."

"That and Athena was drunk. Three margaritas will do that to you." Sam pointed out.

"Sammy you still wouldn't of had a chance."

"Dean. Please lay off your jokes, now really isn't the time."

"Alright well I'm leaning towards a shape shifter. I personally think it all adds up but if you guys come up with something different. You let me know."

"Yeah I'm gonna say it's a shape shifter too. But now the question is how do we find it."

"John." Autumn announced. John's ears perked up at the sound of his name. He stood up and started wagging his tail.

"No. Not yet, we've got to find a place where that creep would of taken Athena. And possibly Sage."

"There's a park a couple miles from that bar. Maybe he took her there." Autumn offered.

"It's a start. Let's go there and see if there's anything that might help us."

Dean climbed out of his car and looked around at the park. "I thought you meant a little park." he complained.

"No, it's big. But we're going to have to check it all if we want to find Teenie." Autumn answered.

"Yeah, unfortunately." Sam and Autumn got out of the car and the three went separate ways. Autumn played with the silver bullet hanging at her throat never letting Sam and Dean out of her sight as she looked for her sister. The park didn't have many trees, and the jungle gym was rather large, but not going to be easy to stash a full grown woman, let alone two. John refused to stay at her side, dashing between her and the boys. She couldn't blame him for his uneasy attitude.

Dean cast another glance at his brother and girlfriend before going down the slight hill, there was a bathroom built close to several gazebos. You could, if necessary, be secluded in this part of the park. He didn't think whatever they were against was dumb enough to actually try it, gazebos don't have walls and the bathroom… Well maybe. Dean shot down the incline toward the bathroom to check it out.

"You don't smell her do ya boy?" Sam asked scratching John's head as the dog took his place at Sam's heels. John nosed his hand, "We'll find her." The dog wagged his tail and followed him. Sam was searching the park directly behind Dean, he could barely see Autumn off to his right. She was squatted down on the ground drawing something in the dirt. "Go check Dean, buddy." The dog took off over the hill and Sam sighed watching John trot away. "Where are you, Teenie?"

Autumn couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. "This was so stupid." she told herself. "Going to a park, that's normal criminals." She drew a pentagram in the dirt. "So how'd you do it creepo?" she looked around before standing up. She was losing it if she thought someone would answer her. Autumn walked several paces further before spotting something familiar.
