Chapter Two
The next chapters are all gonna be short because I want to put one scene per chapter.
Dean and Sam followed their group out the doors and into a small white tent. A table stood off to the side, and a man and woman in Bible costumes stood next to it.
"Ah, shalom, family!" said the man. "Welcome to Nazareth Inn! Come, bring your family and your money and stay with us!"
"Shalom, family, welcome to our humble Inn!" the female innkeeper said as the group filed into the tent. "It is very late for you to be arriving. What is the purpose of your travels?"
As the doors closed, several people answered them in small voices.
"You are very welcome to stay with us here at the Nazareth Inn," said the male innkeeper.
"But we have no more room," said the female innkeeper. "I do not have enough food for you and all the other guests."
"Oh, come up with something," the male innkeeper begged his wife. "Look at the size of the family. Think of the money." He smiled widely at the group.
"No," said the female innkeeper. "There is simply not enough room or food."
The male innkeeper gave a big sigh. "I know you came to seek lodging here in Nazareth, but I regret to tell you, we have no more room. Is there someplace else you could travel to tonight to stay?"
A couple people said something about going to Bethlehem.
"Bethlehem?" said the innkeepers loudly and with surprise.
A man and woman entered the tent from opposite the doors. The man was wearing a tan tunic with dark green jacket on top and a tan headdress. The woman wore a pink tunic with blue headdress. The man was as tall as Sam.
"Family!" said the man. "Here you are!" He hugged a couple of the men in front. "Shalom!"
"Shalom, sister!" said the woman as she hugged a couple of women. "Shalom, children!"
"So, this is your family," said the male innkeeper.
"Oh, yes!" said the man. "This is our family!"
"Oh, look," said the woman, reaching out for a child in front, "it seems we have new family members."
"Yes, we do," said the man. "Well, my name is Hananiah and this is my wife Ruth."
"We are family!" said Ruth, spreading her arms towards the group.
"Well, Hananiah, I am sorry but we do not have enough room here," said the female innkeeper.
"Yes, we will be on our way," said Hananiah. "We will be traveling to Bethlehem with our good friends Joseph and Mary."
The male innkeeper shook his head. "Oh, no, you are not."
"Yes, we are," said Hananiah.
"No, you are not," said the male innkeeper.
"Yes, we are," said Hananiah. Both the women in costumes shook their heads and threw up their arms in disbelief at the argument.
"No—you are not," said the male innkeeper. "They already left for Bethlehem."
"You know Mary is great with child and could not wait any longer to being their journey," said the female innkeeper.
"Yes," said Ruth. "Oh, perhaps the baby will be born in Bethlehem—the city of our father David."
"We must be on our way," said Hananiah. "We know that God is gracious and we pray that He will watch over us. Come, family of Hananiah. Let us make our Journey to Bethlehem."
Hananiah began leading the group out of the tent towards the parking lot.
"Shalom," said the innkeepers as they left. "Be careful on your journey."
"Do come back to Nazareth and stay with us when you return," said the male innkeeper. He turned to his wife. "Just think of ALL the money we could make from THIS family."
The female innkeeper nodded in agreement as Sam and Dean followed the group outside.
