Chapter Three
Dean's POV
"So we're back to square one?" I asked Sam and Christina as we sat at a diner booth for a late lunch. "This case is getting really annoying."
"So let's see what we concluded. It's not a werewolf," Sam said softly as to not draw attention from the other patrons. "Or a demon."
"Or a shapeshifter." I added though a small mouthfull of apple pie since I had craved one back at the construction site. "What else could be out there that might be the cause?"
"A witch?" Sam suggested quietly.
"No hex bags." I said taking another bite from my pie. I glanced over at Chriatina who was looking like she was in the middle of thinking something hard. "You okay?"
"Huh..." She looked up at both me and Sam and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. Just been thinking that's all." She grabbed her glass of water and took a few gulps before sEttinger it down on the table. "Let's see..." I raised an eyebrow before the wailing of police cruisers and an ambulance flew past us leading towards the hiking trail that was just a little ways south of town.
"Another attack?" Sam asked as we turned in our seats to see the ambulance vanishing.
"Might be. Let's give it a few minutes and we'll check to see if Dr. Garson has something for us." I said but I had a feeling we will be getting a call from the good doctor.
~O.U.A.H~
It was twenty minutes from the time we watched the ambulance drive past, that I did indeed get a call from the doctor saying that this attack was strange like the last one. Sam and Christina both were standing next to me as we stood and talked to the latest victim. She was crying and looked to be in bad shape.
"...she just drugged us," I caught the very end of the conversation when the three of us stepped inside the room. She was talking to the Doctor as he was trying to calm her down. "Then she, this sweet old woman started to cut him up. Oh my god! This sweet old woman killed him. Then when she turned towards me, I probably didn't have as much as Ken, but I managed to push her off and she fell backwards and she hit her head on her stove."
"It's going to be okay." Dr. Garrison said looking up at us as we walked in. "These people are here to help you out."
"Please you got to let me go. I've got things to arrange." The girls eyes filled with tears much like our last victim when he talked about his brother's deaths.
"Ma'am," Christina's voice was soothing as she gently grabbed the woman's hands. Almost instantly the woman calmed down slightly before Christina continued to ask questions. "My partners and I are so sorry for your loss. We want to make sure what caused this to happen doesn't happen again. Can you tell us anything that seemed out of the ordinary? Like you smelled something like rotten eggs or experienced unexplained cold spots?"
"Well," the woman closed her eyes before looking back at us. "The only smell we smelt was cherry pie, because that's what the old woman had baked to lure us in. And I didn't feel cold but..." she shook her head as though what she was going to say next didn't make any sense. "There was this girl just standing and looking inside the house. I can't believe she had to witness something like that. But she didn't seemed to care. She just stared and before I blacked out she just vanished."
"LIke she moved out of sight?" I asked and the woman shook her head.
"Like she wasn't there to begin with."

Christina's POV
My head was buzzing. The woman had seen a girl outside the window when she was attacked. "Did this girl wore a white dress and had black hair?" I asked only to get states from both brothers and from the woman as well.
"She did." The woman said and my stomach flipped.
"Alright we're going to search for this girl," Dean said and I let go of the woman's hands before I quickly made my way out of that room to lean against the wall. Sam following closely behind me.
"What's wrong?" He asked as I began to take in slow deep breaths.
"I've seen that girl too." I said cupping my face with my hands. "Back at the Library. I thought it was just some girl that walked down the stairs and then quietly left. But now, I'm questioning my sanity."
"We hunt monsters that nobody else believes in. You're already insane." Sam stated trying to make me smile. But It didn't work. I looked up at him and saw the black aura still surrounding him. I closed my eyes and shook my head before looking back at him. The aura was still there. "Something's bothering you and it's not the girl you saw."
"No it's not just the girl that's bothering me." I admitted seeing Dean walking out of the room. "But it's for another time."
"Care to explain why you just left like that?" Dean asked when we walked towards the front door of the hospital. "I mean, she mentions a girl. You ask if she was wearing a white dress and when she said yes, you freaked out."
"Dean, calm down will you?" I liked it when Sam stuck up for me. But at this time I wasn't wanting it.
"Let's focus on the case shall we?" I asked swapping subjects so fast Sam and Dean had a hard time with where I came up with that suggestion. "We're dealing with a ghost apparently. Dean, why don't you head to the library and see if you can find anything else on the girl. See if there's been any tragic deaths."
"Who died and made you boss?" He asked and I glared at him. "Okay, chill out."
"Sam I think you should go check out the house. See if you can pick up anything on the EMF." Sam nodded silently. "I'm needing to step away from this for a little bit clear my head." My brothers didn't argue and I liked that. Something had me on the edge of snapping and I needed to step away. Having the woman confirm that I'd seen this girl made me shake and tremble. I started to feel a headache starting in the back of my head and I knew what better place to get it checked out then a hospital.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Dean asked making me look up at him. The surrounding blue aura made the headache grew worse.
"Yeah," I lied trying to calm down. "I just need to talk to Dr. Garrison about something. I'll be alright." I turned and walked into the hospital leaving both my brothers behind looking quite confused.
