''Oh crap...'' Sam who was in the lead stopped walking.
Cain almost ran into him. ''What? What do you mean Oh crap?''
''I mean... have you seen any tapes on the trees for the past 10 minutes?''
Dean came up next to Sam. ''I thought you were the one following the tapes and telling us where to go.''
''Yeah. I was. We must have taken a wrong turn back there somewhere... Haven't seen anything familiar in a while.''
Cain realised what was going on. ''Oh crap.''
Ch. 9 Just What We Needed
Dean looked at Cain. ''What 'Oh crap'?'' He turned around again to face Sam for the second time. Sam's face was twisted in a I'm-sorry way. Dean looked up '' Oh crap.''
''It's okay. I'm sure we can find our way back... surely we haven't deviated too much from the original path.'' Cain put her backpack on the ground and opened the front pocket to get her cell phone. She quickly dialed 911. ''Shit! No signal...'' She shoved the phone back in the bag.
''I'm sorry guys... I thought we were on the right path... I'm tired and I guess I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere...'' Sam was as loss for words.
''It's okay Sam. Don't worry. We should have paid more attention too.'' Cain put a reassuring hand on Sam's arm.
Dean wasn't in a great mood. ''Yeah great! What now? Were lost. What do we do?''
''We can try going back put it's so dark right now that I'm not even sure which way we came from.'' Sitting down on her bag, Cain started bitting her nails.
''So we stay here?'' Dean asked.
Cain stopped bitting her nails just long enough to answer the question. ''Yeah. We stay here and wait for the sun to come back so we can actually see where were going.''
''Okay. First of all, stop doing that. It's disgusting. Also, if you hadn't noticed, it's getting freaking cold outside. We can't stay here.'' Dean sat down too.
''Well, first of all, shut up it's none of your business. And also, why do think I insisted on bringing these huge backpacks?'' Cain got up from the bag and opened it. She threw something big and black at Sam. ''Blanket. You never know. There's also one in yours Dean.''
''What else is there in those bags?'' Sam was opening his.
''Snacks, matches, guns, holy water... you know, the usual.''
Sam took out a bag of M&M from his bag. ''Snacks?''
''Sure!'' Cain snatched the bag from his hands. She glanced at Dean. ''Hey don't look at me like that! I like M&Ms.''
Sam took his blanket and handed it to Cain. ''There's only two of them. You can take this one.''
''No thanks. You keep it. I brought an extra sweater. I'll be alright. I used to go camping all the time before.'' She patted her backpack on the ground to make it more comfy and laid down with her head on it. ''See. I'm fine!''
By the time Cain woke up, the fire that Dean had made was almost out. She looked at her watch and it was 2:15 am.
Oh... I really have to pee.
She really should have brought a third blanket but there wasn't enough space with all the guns. Cain got up shivering and made her way to a big tree she could barely see a couple of meters away in the dark and got behind it making sure that she hadn't waken up Dean or Sam.
Crack!
Cain got up and zipped back her pants.
What the hell was that?
Cain listened really carefully and she could hear branches and leaves cracking under someone's feet somewhere close to her.
CRACK!
She whirled around and ended face to face with Dean!
''What the hell Dean! Don't sneak up on people like that!''
''Yeah well don't leave the camp like that! What are you doing here?'' Dean had his shotgun settled on his shoulder and raised an eyebrow.
''Nature called.'' She smiled.
Dean looked at the ground. ''Eww.''
''Oh shut up! You're so immature.''
''Me? Right, I...''
''Enough... I don't feel like listeneing to you. Let's go back.''
Cain went past Dean and started making her way towards the camp. She could feel Dean following her very closely and had to admit to herself that it didn't bother her that much. Suddenly, her foot caught in a big root sticking out fom the ground and she felt herself sarting to fall forward. Next thing she knew, Dean had dropped his gun and was in front of her in a flash holding her to his chest.
''You okay?''
His perfume... ''Yeah. Yeah I'm okay.'' Cain brought her foot back up and stood straight in his arms. A breeze blew past them and she felt the shivers all the way down her spine.
''Cold?''
'' A little bit.''
''Should have taken the blanket.'' Dean put one arm around her shoulder and guided them back to the little camp. Then Cain settled back down on her backpack. Sam was still sleeping twisted around in his blanket. Dean was throwing a couple of logs in the fire and it got a little warmer in a matter of seconds.
''We can share.'' He was now standing next to her head and holding the blanket in his hand.
Cain stared at him for a second. ''Sure. Okay.'' He laid the blanket on her and settled down under it next to Cain. The blanket wasn't that big so Cain turned on her side and laid her head on his chest. ''If you try anything...''
Dean let out a low chuckle that made his chest shake a little. ''I know... horrible and painful death follows.''
Cain smiled. ''Exactly. G'night.''
''Goodn...''
CRACK!
The two of them were up in a matter of seconds. Whatever made that sound was close. Very close.
''Sammy! Wake up!''
Sam opened his eyes and when he saw Dean with his shotgun in hand, he got up immediatly. Another crack came from behind them and they turned around to face it.
''What is it?'' Cain reached for her shotgun in her bag.
''Do you think it's 'it'?'' Sam had his gun too now.
Just as Dean was about to answer, two big red eyes appeared between the trees about 20 meters away from them.
''Shit!''
The thing started moving forward and the three hunters cocked their guns. At the sound of the guns the thing stopped moving and let out a piercing scream. Immediatly, they put their hands on their ears to try to block the sound. It was so high that they could feel it resonating in their chest and theirs ears started hurting.
After the creature had stopped screaming, Cain uncovered her ears.
''Guys?'' But she couldn't hear her voice. The scream had really hurt her ears and she was temporarily deaf. She could hear faintly Dean cursing next to her and the sounds starting to come back. They were losing very precious time just standing there.
''Guys?'' It was faint but Dean heard Cain call them. His ears were throbbing and he had almost dropped his gun when he had covered his them. After a few curse words Dean had his gun back in his hands and aimed at the creature. It was still very dark and he had to focus on the two red eyes that reflected slightly the light coming from the fire. The creature must have sensed the danger because next thing he knew, it was coming fast at them.
Sam who was closer to Cain had lunched himself at her and pushed her out of the way. Dean hadn't been so lucky and the creature rammed into him at full speed. He felt his feet leave the grounds and he hit the ground face first several feet farter. Dean could hear someone screaming and thought it might have been Cain or the creature. He opened his eyes and his head was hurting so much that he had to close them again.
The next sound he heard was a shotgun being used. Then another scream but this time he was sure it was Cain.
''Dean get up! Run!'' Sam was screaming at him but he was far, Dean could hear him. Why was he telling him to run? He couldn't even move. He was in so much pain.
Then it hit him. The creature was coming back. Dean felt something grab his legs and pull him away. He finally opened his eyes and there it was. That big son of a bitch was dragging him away.
Oh no you're not!
Ignoring the pain, Dean scanned the ground around him. He couldn't have dropped his gun too far. He could hear Cain and Sam screaming because they were looking for more ammunitions. Where the hell was his gun?
Then he saw it. Just a little too far to reach. Dean kicked his foot at the claw that was holding it and got loose just long enough to stretch and grab his gun. He saw something red trickling down one of the creature's wing. Blood. So it could be armed with weapons. Sam and Cain probably just grazed it... it was so dark that they probably missed their shots.
Everything happened in a second. Dean cocked his gun and aimed at the head. The echo of the gun coming off was so loud in here that his head started hurting even more. Then the piercing scream came again. This time the pain was too much to bare and Dean hit the ground with a thud slipping into uncounsciousness.
Wow! That was a very long chapter. Took me a long time to write!! Hope you liked it!! R&R PLEASE!
