---------I own Dana and Samantha Daniels-----

-----Chapter 8----

Jon finally decided that they could all stay at a hotel to get some sleep. It's about 8:30 at night and the boys are talking in the room adjacent to Dana and the baby.

"I still don't understand why you wouldn't let me go in there." Sam said

"Are you kidding Sam? Going in there would be like committing suicide!"

"You don't know that!" Sam shot back

"C'mon on Sam!"

Dana heard the yelling in the next room, she grabbed Samantha and went to the door of the boy's room.

Sam shot up "That thing killed mom! That thing killed Jess"

"Sam you said it yourself once…mom and Jess are gone…. and they aren't coming back."

Sam threw Dean against the wall.

"Don't you say that! Don't you ever say that!"

The shower went off. Jon walked out in a robe.

"Hey! What the hell is going on here?"

Dana walked away from the door with tears in her eyes.

Sam was in the other room for a while so Dana took a shower and threw a pair of Sam's pajamas on.

"Hello Amtrak how may I be of service?" said the cheery women on the phone.

"Hi…" she cleared her throat "I need the time for the next train to Salvation Iowa."

"Actually there is one tonight at 10."

"Really?"

"Yes…"

"Okay…can I have a ticket please?"

"Sure…what's your name?"

"Dana Daniels."

"Okay Dana…I will hold a ticket for you and you can pay and pick it up at the desk."

"Um…I have a six month old with me… will I need a extra ticket?"

"Yeah."

"Okay how much?"

"I'll tell you what…it's only a baby so I'll give you two tickets for the price of one."

Sam walked into the room and took his jacket off. He saw Dana with his back to him on the phone.

"Really? Thanks a lot."

"Okay…. have a good night and thanks for choosing Amtrak."

Dana hung up and dialed a different number.

"Hi I need the number to a taxi service closest to the Motel on Willow Avenue."

"Sure one moment I'll connect you."

"Willow Car Service…we get you where you need to be…Mike speaking how can I be of service."

"I need a car right away…. I'm in the hotel on Willow Avenue and I need someone to take me to the train station a few miles from here."

"Sure I'll send a car…they'll be there in 5 minutes or so."

"Thanks a lot."

She hung up once again and turned around.

She was startled at Sam standing there.

"What was that about?" he said

"I'm leaving Sam."

"What?"

"I'm leaving." She said putting her jacket on

"Why?"

"Because I don't…. you don't." she started to cry, "I don't belong here with you."

"What…yes you do."

"No I don't I heard you tonight. You attacked Dean! You still love her Sam."

"Jess?"

"Yes! Jess you still love her. You don't love me!" she cried and continued to yell "I wanted to believe that we still had something…. that we could have something a real relationship!"

"I love you Dana…. I want that…I want what you want."

"But I'm scared that you still love her…you'll think about her and wish she was alive…. you'll want her…not me…but her!" she took a breath "I know you still love her. I know that you loved her so much…. I know that I'm being selfish. But I can't do it I can't go threw something with you again and have my heart broken again! I just can't"

She walked to the door "Goodbye Sam…. I love you…. know that."

She shut the door and stood to the curb of the parking lot. Dean ran out to her.

"Hey…what's going on?"

"I'm leaving Dean."

"Why what happened."

She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"I can't do it Dean…. I can't stay here with him knowing he doesn't love me like I love him."

The taxi pulled up. She hugged Dean.

"Samantha was really starting to warm up to you…"

"I know…"

"Your great man Dean…. come visit Me. " she kissed his cheek and went into the car.

Dean shook his head and ran into Sam's room.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" he shouted

"How could you let her leave? What were you thinking letting her go?"

"I love her Dean…. I love her so much…. I've loved her since high school."

Dean slapped his forehead "Freaking idiot…. tell her not me! Go with her! Go!"

He threw Sam the keys. "Train leaves at 10. It's 9:45…. Go!"

Sam drove like a mad man and ran to the train station.

"Where's the train to Salvation Iowa?"

The man pointed to the train pulling out of the station.

Sam stood there trying to catch his breath. He put in hands on his knees and breathed heavily.

As he listened to the train pull away, he looked up and saw Dana and Samantha standing on the opposite side of the tracks.

Sam smiled and ran to the other side. He took Dana in his arms.

"I couldn't do it. I love you to much to let you go like that." He kissed her

"I love you so much Dana…. know that…."
