Chapter Two

Johns nightmares took over as he laid there. He saw that thing again, the one that took his parents, the thing he had stared straight In the eyes. Each nightmare was the same, John was trying to save his parents and each time they died and Mikey just kept crying, his cries haunted Johns head as he groaned in his sleep..

"he's severely dehydrated" the doctor said to Mikey as he watched his brother toss and turn In the hospital bed.."what happened to his hand?"

"he punched the wall" Mikey lied as the doctor looked at him as if he knew Mikey was full of shit..

"Yeah well you should tell him to stay away from those walls, he sprained his hand pretty bad, he's lucky its not broke" the doctor said with a shake of his head..Mikey didnt say anything as he looked at his brother.."we have him hooked up to fluids but he needs to take better care of himself" the doctor said as he walked to the door..

"I'll make sure he does" Mikey said with a sigh as he looked back at his brother..

Hours passed as Mikey sat in the hospital chair, John was in and out of it as he broke the fever he had been running. The doctors said with was from an apparent lack of sleep and Mikey knew that his brother rarely ever slept, Mikey had a hard enough time sleeping himself.

The sound of groaning made Mikey's eyes open from his half asleep state as John began to sit up.."where the hell am I, what is this" John said as he stared down at the IV in his arm, realization began to hit him, he was at the hospital, he hated hospitals..

"Just relax, your lucky I got you here, do you have any idea how fucked up your body is now" Mikey began to snap.."are you trying to kill yourself"

"i fucking hate these places and I feel just fine" John snapped back angrily as he pulled hard on the IV and it came out of his arm as Mikey jumped up and came over to him..

"are you out of your mind!" Mikey quickly grabbed a gauze pad and put it on the small puncture wound on Johns arm..

"I cant believe you brought me here, I just needed sleep" John snapped as he yanked his arm back and held the gauze on it..

"You were dehydrated" Mikey began as John kicked his feet over the bed as he shook his head and mumbled under his breath.."Listen John you need to stay here so they can" he began as John fumbled to get his boots on..

"people fucking die here Mikey and I wont be one of them" he said angrily as he stood up, he still felt a bit wobbily but better now, he stared at his bandaged hand and groaned some more..

"You passed out in my house John!" Mikey yelled with concern..

"i was fucking tired, I told you that" John said as he fixed his shirt some and then ran a hand through his hair..

"your unbelievable, your just going to end up killing yourself" Mikey huffed..

"Oh can you stop being so dramatic Mikey" John said as he got to the door..

"so your just going to leave" Mikey said in disbelief..

"thats what it looks like" John said as he stepped out of the hospital room..Mikey following him..

"Its against doctors orders" Mikey continued..

"well good thing your a doc" John said sarcastically as they walked past a nurses station and one of the brown haired nurses quickly got up..

"Mr Mcbain where do you think your going, you cant leave" she said as she neared them and John stopped and looked the young nurse up and down..

"You look pretty hot in those scrubs" John smirked at her as she immediately flushed at him..

"flattery wont do you any good, you need to get back in the room" she forced the words out as she stood there with her hands on her hips..

"what time does your shift end" John grinned as her eyes got wide..

"John, really?" Mikey said as he got up to his brother and then he looked at the nurse.."dont mind him" he said quickly to the now flustered Nurse.."lets go" he grabbed johns arm...

"another time sweetheart" John smiled as he walked with mikey.."You know you didnt have to be such a prick" John said to his brother and then he yanked his arm back..

"yeah well you dont have to practically drool over every woman you see" Mikey snapped..

"and why not" John said with a shrug of his shoulders..

"Lets just get the hell out of here before we get caught" Mikey said with worry..

"its not illegal to leave a hospital Mikey" John said sarcastically as they reached the main doors to get out..

Mikey was completely frustrated as he drove John back to his place. John hadnt been back in his life more than 24 hours but he had already fucked up everything that he had worked hard for, including his relationship with Clare..

"You know I dont get why your so pissed with me, you lied to her, not me" John said nonchalantly as they got back to the house..

"she was the best thing that has ever happened to me" Mikey snapped..

"Oh please if you really think that then your seriously delusional" John said sarcastically..

"you know what, I want you to leave ok, leave and never come back" Mikey snapped as he got out of the car and began walking up to the house, he was pissed and thats when he saw the front door open and he stopped for a moment, he had shut it, he was sure he had..

"fine be that way but when you need me" John snapped at him as Mikey began to run up to the house.."Oh please dont tell me your going to go in and cry now, really pathetic Mikey" John snapped..

"Can you shut the fuck up for a minute, something is wrong" Mikey said as he got into the house and he looked at the destruction all around. Pictures were knocked off the walls, furniture over turned, glass broken. He stood in shock as he looked at the mess, had someone broke in and robbed him..

"woo this place is trashed" John began as he got to the door..

Before either of them could say anything a loud piercing scream was heard from upstairs and Mikeys heart dropped as he took off running, yelling as he did so.."Clare!", Her screams filled his head as he ran from room to room and then he stopped when he got to the empty bedroom at the far side of the house, fear filled him as he stared at the red glowing eyes, the same eyes that had haunted him for so many years and there was Clare. So much like his mother as she was pinned across the room and on the wall. It took him a second to realize that this was really happening, that this wasnt a dream..

The evil thing smiled at him as Clare's eyes got wide and then he was reaching into her body as she screamed.."NO!" Mikey yelled as he finally jumped from his half frozen stance and he lunged for the demon as John ran in the room, gun in hand he let out a round as the bullet wizzed in the air and towards the demon but then it was gone as Clare fell to the ground and Mikey scrambled to her.."clare" he said with overwhelming emotion, her eyes were sightless and her body limp.."no..no..no..no" Mikey began to cry as he pulled her bloodied body into his arms..

Two Months Later..

"are you coming or what" John snapped at his brother, who quickly looked at him and shook off the memories that haunted him.. They made their way through the dark, barely lit woods. They had been tracking this fucker for days now and finally the trail was hot, they were going to get the son of bitch..

This is what their lives had come down to over the past two months. They were on a hunt and even though they couldnt find the fucker responsible not only for their parents death but also Clares.. Well they had taken down at least thirty demons and it seemed like the destruction and death would never end because as soon as they killed one, another one would take its place in causing death and chaosis. Needless to say this is why they were walking through dark woods at nearly ten pm.

This one was a shape shifter and killing victims in the form of a wolf, a huge one at that but about an hour ago they had found it and John had blasted the damned thing with a silver bullet but missed his heart but the blood trail it left was good enough for them to go on and they were close, so close that both of them could feel it..

The sound of leaves crinkling in the distance made John look at his brother as he nodded his head and pointed..Mikey nodded at him in return as he held the gun in his hand. They hid behind a large oak tree as the sound came even closer..John held his gun close to his chest as he glanced over at his brother, he pointed once more as he got ready to make his move. The sound so close now as John braced himself and then with a deep breath he spun around the tree but instead of seeing that grey beast his eyes widdened at the sight of a red headed girl and then he saw her booted leg as it kicked right at him, for a second he was stunned as his gun got kicked high up in the air and then he was down on his back on the ground, a knife at his neck as this girl straddled his body..

"HEY!"Mikey yelled as he aimed his gun, the red haired girl looked up and smiled..

"do it and I swear to god I will gut him" she said dangerously loud..Mikey stopped in his tracks..

John looked up at the girl, who was she? She looked at him, her blue eyes reflecting back at him.."what are you doing out here" she said angrily to John..

"Just taking a stroll sweetheart" he grinned, this chick was hot, like seriously and he couldnt help the way his body reacted..

She pressed the knife harder into his neck.."dont sweetheart me, asshole" she said through gritted teeth..

"wooo ok..ok...this all seems to be a big misunderstanding" Mikey said quickly as he looked at the girl..

She looked up at him, giving John the opportunity to flip the scenerio, literally as he flipped her over and straddled her with his huge body as she yelled out.."oh come on sweetheart, I thought we were having fun" John grinned as he kept her hands pinned down by his legs, Mikey came over now, shaking his head..

"get off of me" the girl snapped..

"she's a fiesty one" John smirked as he looked at his brother and then back at the red headed beauty..

"and she is apparently not who we are looking for" Mikey said with a loud sigh as he ran his hand through his now untamed hair..

"I dunno, maybe she is" John smirked at the girl who shot him a nasty look.."feeling frisky in the moonlight?" he raised an eyebrow as he smiled..

"asshole" she snapped at him..

"you did have a knife to my throat just seconds ago darling" John smiled..She narrowed her eyes at him..

"John get off of her" Mikey said quickly..

"But we were just getting to know each other, aint that right Red" John smirked and the girl smiled at him now as he leaned down closer to her face.."got something to say?"

"actually I do" she said suddenly in the sweetest voice he had ever heard, it caught him off guard and then her head was slamming into his as he fell back.."get the hell off of me!" she yelled as she quickly got to her feet and John just held his head..

"fuck, that really hurt" he yelled out as Mikey held his gun on the girl..

"Can you put that thing down before you hurt someone" the girl snapped at Mikey as she grabbed her knife off the ground and dusted it off on her jeans.."Like now" she said again to Mikey who was more than in shock about what he had just witnessed, this chick was bad ass and she had taken his brother down, impressive to say the least..

"Jesus Mikey can you stop fucking drooling and help me up" John made Mikey quickly look away as he flushed and then he was walking over to his brother as he helped him up.."so are you gonna tell me who you are" John said with annoyance as he held his aching head..

"Im apparently the girl who just kicked your ass" she said with a proud grin as she stood there.."why dont you tell me who you are and what the hell your doing out here"

John rubbed his head as Mikey went to speak.." Im Mik" he began as John elbowed him in the side and shot him a look.."what? She's apparently not" Mikey began..

"im cheech and this is chong, whats it to you" John blurted out quickly as she rolled her eyes..

"and let me guess your strolling the woods in hopes of finding weed" she said dryly.."try again"

"You know this works both ways Red" John smirked..She narrowed her eyes again.."whats a girl like you doing in the woods alone at night"

"a girl like me? What the hell does that mean" she snapped at him..

Before he could answer the sound of foot steps rushing at them made both John and Mikey raise their guns as two guys ran over.."Nat what the fuck I told you to stay behind" the taller of the two said as he looked at her and then quickly backed up and raised his own gun.."who the fuck are they"

"hey why dont you lower the gun" John snapped as he kept his gun up..

The girl rolled her eyes as she spun from John and his brother, she looked at the guys in front of her, Cristian and Brody.."these dimwits made me lose my trail" she snapped..

"Hey, why am I a dimwit" Mikey groaned as John looked at him and shook his head..

"someone want to tell me what the hell is going on before" John began as the girl spun and looked at him..

"or what? Your gonna shoot me" she said sarcastically as she shook her head and stormed past the two guys..

"Umm Nat, what are we suppose to do with them" Brody said as he watched her walk away..

"this is bullshit you know" John finally lowered his gun.."who the hell are you" he snapped at the two guys..Mikey lowered his gun to but the two men kept their guns up..

"Listen, I think there has just been a misunderstanding" Mikey began as he looked at them..The sound of a loud howl split through the air as they all turned and then a gun shot went off...

"shit" the taller guy named Cris yelled out as he went running, followed by the shorter guy..

"come on" John yelled as he too ran off and finally Mikey as they all took off towards the sound..

They all came to a halt as a large grey wolf lay on the ground, a bullet in its head.."and that boys is how it is done" natalie said proudly as they all stared at her in shock..

"Holy shit" John broke the silence as he walked up to the wolf and he kicked it for good measure.."How did you" John said in shock to her as she stood there and then gave him a sarcastic smirk..

"Oh im sorry, you never saw a girl like me kill a wolf" she said as she spun from him.."burn it" she finished as she walked off and John stood in shock..

"who the hell is she" he finally said as the shorter guy named Brody looked at him..

"trust me you dont want to know" Brody shook his head as Cristian pulled out lighter fluid and poured it on the body and then dropped a lit match on it as it immediately went up in flames, they then turned from the burning body..

"hey, hold up...wait" Mikey ran after them as John stood there still a bit shocked, she had killed that thing? And by herself? Holy shit!

"Listen its a long story and you wouldnt believe it if you heard it, the best thing to do is just go home" Cris said as he continued to walk..

"that was a shape shifter" John called out as the guys stopped now and slowly turned to face him..

"who told you that" Brody said with wide eyes..

"weve been tracking it for days" Mikey said quickly as the guys looked at him with shock.."the question is how did you know" he said in shock..

"they know cause they are the same as us" John said as he walked up to them.."slayers" he finished as the guys looked at them.."im John by the way and this is my brother Mike"

"what makes you think we can trust anything you say" Cris said quickly..

"Hmmm.. well the whole shape shifting wolf thing would maybe a hint" John said sarcastically..

"Im Brody, this is Cris" Brody said quick as cris shot him a look.."what? We could use all the help we could get"

"we know nothing about them" Cris said sternly as he eyed John..

"listen we can play this who is tougher then who shit all day long or we can get down to business" John snapped at them..

"I dont think I like your tone" Cris said angrily..

"John just let me handle this" Mikey said quickly, he knew that this could easily turn into a blood battle..

"be my guest" John through his hands up in the air as he shook his head..

"Listen I think we all got off on the wrong foot here, we apparently were all hunting the same thing" Mikey began.."we all know what that thing was back there so that tells me that were all on the same side"

"Im not convinced" Cris said as he stared at John..

"Oh give it up tough guy" John snapped..

"John, please" Mikey warned him.."how many more of you are there"

"Listen this is not an invitation, were good, thanks" Cris said sarcastically..

"wow your really just a rude fucker arent you, did someone not have his wheaties today" John snapped..

"hey!" Cris yelled as he went to move towards John but brody went in front of him..

"dont do this Cris, its not worth it" Brody said quickly..

"You should listen to the little man" John smiled..

"John...seriously , cut it out man" Mikey said quickly..

"You know what, you do whatever you want, im heading back" Cris snapped at brody and then stormed off as brody looked at the guys..

"that guy has issues" John said sarcastically..

Mikey ignored his brother and looked at Brody..." we can help you guys" he said quickly..

"what are you crazy Mikey" John pulled his brother back by the arm.."we work alone" John snapped at him..

"John this could work, think about it" Mikey began to say..

"No thanks buddy, we got this" John said to brody and then he grabbed his brothers arm harder..

"John im tired of doing this shit alone" Mikey pulled his arm back.."hey wait up, im coming" Mikey said as he ran after Brody and John just stood there, this is definitely not how he planned on spending his night, and after yelling a few choice words into the air he went after his brother..
