Chapter 2

DPOV

Nathan was lying on the floor having tried to defend himself from the Wendigo, looking at Sam and I like he had just seen a ghost.

"Hey little brother" I smiled at him and offered my hand to help him up, which he cautiously accepted.

"Where have you guys been?" He asked barely louder than a whisper hugging the both of us so tightly, I had felt horrible leaving him here but someone had to watch out for Haley and well, Nathan was the right age to blend in and be her friend.

"Looking for Dad still, he uh he's still gone" Sam told Nathan.

"What? How?"

"We haven't been able to find any trace of him in over three months" I said. It was clear as day, the look Nathan had on his face, his hope in finding Dad alive, was officially gone. I knew because it mirrored the expression I had been wearing for the last few months.

"Oh" was all Nathan had said, turning away from us looking at the mess left behind in the locker room "Uh we better get out of here before someone comes to figure out what all that noise was about" Nathan looked at us and started walking out the door. But more importantly on my mind was that we had to get out of here before Haley saw us, even though I was dying to see her smile again, but after my leaving her, there was no way she would smile when seeing me. Granted I had my reasons, but Haley didn't know them, and never could.

We had gotten as far as the halls before some old man came walking towards us "Nathan! What the hell was that?! We've got a practise to get too, and a game in three days! Get your scrawny ass back into my gym! And who the hell are these people?!"

"Sorry coach, I didn't feel very well and went to the bathroom, uh, these are Sam and Dean Winchester, my brothers, I haven't seen them in over a year" Nathan said quietly to the old man who was even intimidating me.

"Hi I'm Dean, I'm Nathans legal guardian, I'm sorry to just come running into the school, sir, I just got back from a work expedition and wanted to see my little brother" I smiled giving Nathan a path on the shoulder.

"Fine, well, you've seen him, now you can wait til practise is finished to catch up" He smiled and turned away "Nathan!" he yelled as he walked back into the gym.

"I got to go guys, what hotel are you staying at? I'll come by after practise" he whispered.

"Motel 1" Sam said "Room 204"

"Okay see you in an hour" Nathan said running back into the gym.

We continued to walk through the school in order to get out of there when the last bell of the day rang, shit, we had to get out of here before running into Haley. We were at the front exit when I heard my name spoken from the most majestical voice, that I never thought I'd hear again, Haley was right behind me.
