Dean's POV
The small town of Burkittsville, Indiana seemed too cute for my taste as I pulled my impala to the side of the road. Christina let out a small snort as I shook her awake. "You know you're cute when you snort." I said with a chuckle. I watched as I got the death eye from her. "What can't a brother tease?"
"Just shut up Dean." Christina said her voice a little raspy. "Well, I guess we all do something when we get up in the morning." She said as she opened up her front door. "Me I snort, Sammy he grumbles while you...you say the word tacos." I shot her a look as she smiled and climbed out of the car, blonde hair bouncing as she did. She stretched her arms above her head as I heard small pops coming from her back. She had a happy relaxed smile on her face as she reached in the back to grab her hoodie as I saw her skin began to prickle.
"Why do you wear those if you're just going to freeze?" I asked as she pulled the hoodie over her eyes. "I mean, a tank top really?"
"I love tanks." She said with a shrug pulling her hair out from underneath the hoodie's fabric. "Why do you wear two shirts? Why does Sammy wear flannel? We all have our styles and this one works for me." She shot me a forced smile and we walked across the street.
We walked passed a gentleman who's rough face made me subconsciously pull Christina closer to me. She didn't object. Our eyes were trained on the man who was looking as we walked up. "Can I help you two?" The man asked his voice was like his face, rough.
"We were just looking for a couple of our friends," I said handing the man a picture of the recent disappearing couple. "Got a call from them saying they had driven through here and we haven't heard from them since." The man's cold eyes looked us over. Then down at the pictures. After a good full minute of looking he shook his head.
"Sorry," the man said sitting back. "Haven't seen them. Mind me askin' what your names are?"
"John Bono." I said with a smile. "This is my girlfriend Sarah Winters." I felt Christina pinch the small of my back hard. "Hey wait til later, sweetie." I said forcing a smile and staying in character.
"John Bono?" The man asked eying me suspiciously, I nodded slightly wrapping my arm tighter around Christina's small frame. "Miss Winters." He said with a polite nod. "You two have a good day." He turned and left leaving us to stand there watching him as he walked away and disappeared into a shop.
"Why'd you pinch me?" I hissed in Christina's ear as we walked around to the front of a cafe. "That really hurt."
"Next time don't say girlfriend and don't give me a name from one of your pornos." She said glaring at me. I guess she's a light sleeper then. I thought and opened the door for her. "Why thank you sweetie." She said giving a small wink. I rolled my eyes. I'm going to hell for this aren't I?I thought thinking of ways to stay in character without making it seem to awkward.
"Can I help you two?" A way to happy older woman asked us as I pulled out a chair for my "girlfriend" and sat down next to her.
"Just a couple of waters." I said with a smile. "Just needed a place to rest our feet before we get headed." The woman smiled at us. Even if it seemed like it was forced. The place was empty except for another couple. The waters came and we took them gladly. The smell of apples hung heavily in the air. I leaned in closer pretending to be nuzzling Christina's ear but instead I whispered. "What's up with all the apples?"
She let out a small giggle and she gave me a playful slap. "Not here." Her eyes sparkled as she looked around. There was a young teenager maybe nineteen that caught her attention. She gave me a small peck on the cheek, grabbed the pictures of the couple and walked up to her. "Excuse me, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you seen these two? You see my boyfriend or should I say Fiance wanted them to come to our wedding but we haven't seen or heard from them in a year."
"I'm sorry," the older woman said stepping in between Christina and the girl. "But we get a lot of couples now and then. But congratulations on getting married." Her smile seemed to cause some fear in her as Christina turned around and grabbed me by my shoulders dragging me out of the apple scented building.

"What was that all about?" I asked driving down the road a ways and glancing over at Christina.
"That woman is hiding something." She said chewing nervously on her nails as she looked around the miles of apple trees. Suddenly I had to stop my EMF detector started to freak out as we stopped just outside a large orchard of apple trees. Christina looked at me as I grabbed the EMF detector and we both stepped out of the car.
"Keep your eyes open." I said taking small steps inside the field. The EMF detector started to buzz more, getting stronger as we walked further into the trees. Finally we reached a tall pole and strapped to it was the freakiest scarecrow I've ever seen.
"If I only had a brain." I heard Christina mumble as she arrived staring up at the face. "This is why I hate scarecrows." She said with a shiver. "Not like the loveable one in Wizard of Oz." I let out a small chuckle.
"Well, we better go before the Tin man and Cowardly Lion show up with the wicked witch."
"Shut up Dean." She said rolling her eyes. I looked over the scarecrow and saw something on it's arm. A strange design. The design was familiar and I pulled out the pictures. The man in the picture had the same design tattooed on his arm.
"Nice tattoo." I said and we walked back to the car, Christina practically jogged her way out which made me chuckle.

Just like before we left the couple from earlier was still sitting at their table when we walked in. "Back so soon?" The young girl asked her face lighting up with excitement.
"Just got to have a piece of that apple pie we smelt earlier." I said with a grin pulling out a chair for Christina and one for me. "And some of that apple cider as well, please." I called over my shoulder. I smiled over at the couple who was still eating their full on course meal. "Is that your Honda Accord out there?" I asked nodding at the silver frame that was barely visible from where we sat.
"Yeah," the man said with a smile before taking another bite. "Just started to have the fritz. We pulled in told them what was wrong and they said they'd work on it."
"And how long did they say it would take to fix it?" Christina asked as casually as possible.
"Not for another few hours. They said it would be nightfall before we will be able to dive again." The woman said with a sweet smile.
"Well, my fiance knows a lot about cars, I'm sure he can look it over for you and have back on the road a lot sooner." I smiled at my sister's acting.
"I think you should leave these two alone," the older woman said her eyes growing dark. She had sat down two plates of the pie and two glasses of apple cider before walking over to the couple. "Sorry for that. Some people are so rude." I looked over at Christina who shot her a quick glance before taking a sip of the apple cider carefully tasting it before spitting it back into her glass. "Howdy sheriff?" The woman said her eyes wide with excitement. We both turned and saw the same man as before sit down at a table next to us. "Can I interest you in some pie or cider?"
"No, thanks." The sheriff said looking at us. "Just thought you needed some help getting rid of some uninvited guests." I felt my hands tighten on my pants. They were kicking us out, why? I looked down at the uneaten pie, the barely touched apple cider and dropped a twenty on the table before helping Christina to her feet whose face looked a bit more puffy then normal.
"You okay?" I asked walking her out the door. She shook her head slowly. "What's the matter."
"bbffftttbackfftpack" She said her tongue was huge in her mouth. She walked to the trunk and opened it. She grabbed her backpack and rushed to the front seat and climbed in to take her time searching for whatever she needed. I saw the sheriff standing next to his car as I closed the trunk and climbed into the drivers seat. Seeing Christina open up a bottle and throwing a couple of pills into her mouth. She grabbed a bottle of water from her pack and swallowed some while some drizzled down her face.
That's when I saw the lights on the cop car light up, as I drove to the edge of town. The way we had come in. They were trying to run us out of town. And my sister was having some sort of allergic reaction to something in the cider. As soon as we were on our way out I saw the cops lights turn off and saw him drive back into town.
