A Chance Meeting

Chapter 9

Long Kiss Goodbye

After Hazel walked off with Jamie, Max called Sam and Dean out. "I think Hazel's right. I don't think that thing is coming this morning." He slung the shotgun Dean had lent him over his shoulder and started walking after Jamie and Hazel.

Dean fell into step with him, "So I take it Jamie is a runner too?"

Max shook his head, "Naw, she prefers other activities." He wiggled his eyebrows. "She's a daddy's girl."

Sam had caught up to them, "What dose her Dad do then?"

Max shrugged his shoulder, "Real-estate I think. He buys land cheep and either sales it or develops it."

Sam stopped dead in his tracks. It took Max and Dean a moment to realize that he stopped, "Sam what is it?" Dean asked looking back.

Sam walked up to them, "Hazel had this idea about the victims. They were all bidding on the same piece of land. Her idea is that, that is what they were killed for, if all of them die then Jamie's dad would get it at a very low price."

"But Susan wasn't killed that thing never came by here," Max tried to keep his voice calm, he had dated Jamie for a while and she was the sweetest person ever, if her dad was involved in this it would tear her up.

"The Wampus Cat didn't but wasn't Jamie coming from the direction of Susan's house. What if she went directly there to make sure that thing got the right person?"

Max smirked; Sam clearly didn't know Jamie, "No way. Jamie feels guilty when she kills a spider."

Dean and Sam were looking at each other and Max was feeling the odd ball out. "Look I'm telling you…" But whatever Max was about to tell them was cut short.

"Jamie! Don't!"

Max recognized his sister's voice and took off running towards the sound. They rounded a bend and saw Jamie's car with the shattered window. Max looked around for Hazel or even Jamie but couldn't see either.

"Max where would she go?" Sam asked walking over to the car.

"You mean if she was being chased by a very large cat hell bent in killing her?" Dean said with great sarcasm.

Max smiled, "River. She would think cats don't like water. Follow me." Max left the path and Sam and Dean followed.

While running Max heard a gunshot echoing. God please don't let Hazel be hurt. They reached the river and Max glanced around for Hazel. He saw her further up the river. "HAZEL!"

He saw her stop and turn towards him, "MAX!" Then he saw the Wampus Cat charge her and collide, both falling in the river.

When Hazel opened her eyes her first thought was why the hell she was under water, her second why was there was a freaky looking cat coming at her. It came back pretty quick and she pushed up and back breaking the surface. The Wampus Cat, it seemed had no problem with water and was doggie… or in this case, kitty paddling towards her.

She used her arms and legs to try and push herself towards the shore. The fall must have pushed them pretty far in the river, she could feel the current pulling her further and further downstream. She spared a glance towards shore and could make out Max, Sam and Dean running along the bank calling her name.

She turned her head to look behind her and gave a yelp, the Cat was right on top of her and she quickly ducked under the water to avoid the large, sharp claw coming at her head.

Sam saw Hazel duck under the water and shouted for her again. For once his height and long legs were an advantage, his long legs were making it possible for him to keep up with Hazel and the Cat as they were swept down the river. Up a head he saw a log jutting out over the river, he put on a burst of speed and was able to reach it just a head of Hazel.

Not waiting for Max and Dean he started across the log praying it would hold his weight. It creaked and groaned but he was happy to find it didn't plunge him into the river. He laid flat on the log and looked back up the river towards Hazel.

She had resurfaced and he was sure she saw where he was, cause to him it looked like she was trying to make her way towards the log.

Hazel broke the surface for the second time and was able to catch a glimpse of Sam dangling off a fallen log downstream. God please let it hold him, she thought as she tried her best to push herself towards the log. Her legs were getting tired and she had noticed that her left side was bleeding. Not even bothering to look back to see where the Wampus Cat she concentrated on the log and Sam.

He was a few feet in front of her when her head was forced under. She felt claws digging into her shoulders and screamed under water. She dug her heels into the bottom pushing as hard as her legs would let her against the force of the water. She saw a fuzzy lump go over her head and pushed with her feet, straight up.

The Wampus Cat floated past Sam and then he felt a cold wet hand grab his. He gripped it and looked down to see Hazel dangling off his hand. "I got ya." She smiled up at him then brought her other hand to clasp his. Using what little leverage he could, he pulled her on to the log with him. He helped her shimmy off the log and sat her on the bank. "You're bleeding," he knelt beside her and lifted up the left side of her shirt.

She grimaced at the stab of pain then looked down to see a fairly large gash, left by the bullet Jamie had shot at her. "It's not to bad." They both hear a growl and looked up to see a very wet and very pissed Wampus Cat creeping towards then.

Sam stood, pulled Hazel to her feet and pushed her behind him. "Think you can run?" He asked her, keeping his eyes on the Wampus Cat.

She shook her head, "I wouldn't get far. That thing is wicked fast."

It paced back and forth in front of them, it's growls getting louder and louder. Hazel felt a hand on her shoulder and spun around to see Jamie standing there.

Jamie swung at her head and Hazel stepped back to avoid the blow. She tripped and pulled Sam down with her. "Jamie no!"

Jamie stood over the two with the gun in her hand, "Sorry but I already told you, no witnesses." She stepped back and the Cat lunched itself at them. Sam rolled on top of her and Hazel saw his face contorted with pain as the Cat's claws sank into his back.

"SAM!" He was pulled off her and the Cat tossed him aside, his body hitting the base of the fallen log. Hazel scooted back away but the Cat pinned her to the ground, it's claws digging into her shoulders, she screamed and tried to kick it. Its jaws were opened and then suddenly they snapped shut.

Hazel looked into its eyes and would have sworn there was confusion in them. It lowered its head and she turned her own to the side as it sniffed her. Then it backed off, just like that.

"What are you doing? Kill her!" Jamie screamed at it. But the Wampus Cat stood back away from Hazel. Jamie pulled the pendent out and shook it at the Cat. "You have to obey me. Now kill her!" Still the Wampus Cat did nothing.

Hazel got to her feet and saw Jamie swing the gun on her, "Don't move Hazel."

Hazel put one hand up, the other clutching her side. She didn't have the strength to run and she wasn't going to leave Sam behind anyway. The Cat started growling but this time it was directed at Jamie.

"Sam! Hazel!"

Hazel turned towards her brother's voice. He and Dean came bursting through the brush, shotgun's raise. Dean trained his on Jamie and Max with his on the Cat. "No you two wait!"

Jamie stood with her gun on Hazel and the pendent hanging from her outstretched hand, pointing at the Wampus Cat. "You have to obey me! Now Kill Her!"

"Shut up Jamie!" Max yelled at her.

The Cat stood still, its growl increasing as Jamie shook the gun at Hazel. It's eyes starting to look more and more human.

"Jamie," Hazel addressed her friend in a soft tone. "It's not going to. For some reason it's not going to listen to you now. Let it go." Hazel put her hands down and Jamie shook the gun at her.

"I told you don't move!"

Hazel looked at her sadly, "You really planning on shooting me? I don't think you can. That's why you had the Wampus Cat kill for you. You never had the guts to do it yourself." Hazel's sad expression changed. "You've known me since we were little. You can't and you won't kill me." Hazel took a step towards where Sam was still lying, turning her back on Jamie.

A shot rang out and Hazel felt something heavy hit her in the back knocking her to the ground.

For a second Hazel couldn't move. She shot me! Jamie actually shot me! But there was no pain in her back, just a lot of pressure. She tried to roll over but whatever was on top of her wouldn't let her.

There was a lot of shouting and Hazel could see Sam getting to his feet and making his way to where she was pinned. "A little help here!" she shouted. She felt the pressure leave her back, rolled over and saw a young girl lying beside her, raven black hair covering her face. "What the hell!" She scurried backwards and felt Sam behind her.

She turned to him, "Where the hell did she come from?" She glanced back to the girl, "and why is she naked?"

Sam held her, "That's the Wampus Cat. When Jamie," he nodded to where Dean and Max were holding Jamie between them, "fired, it… or she launched herself in front of you."

Hazel crawled over to the girl, with Sam right behind her. She turned the girl over and gasped when the girl took a ragged breath. Dean handed her his jacket and Hazel laid it over the girl. She noticed there was blood pooling underneath her.

The girl's eyes wandered around till she saw Hazel, she smiled. "Nea'eše." She then looked at Sam, took his hand and whispered, "Me'êševôtse hestonaho." She closed her eyes and Hazel saw her breathing stop.

"Dose anybody know what she said?" Hazel asked pulling Dean's jacket to cover her face. They all shook their heads.

They were sitting in the living room later the next day. Jamie had been arrested for murder, she had left her finger prints all over Susan Miller's home and given the MO was the same as the other killings, they were confident they would be able to get her on the other four murders as well.

The girl wasn't identified and the four of them weren't able to explain how she got there or where she came from, at lest not to the cops. But Sam had a good idea.

"I think that by protecting you she was able to break the curse herself." Sam informed them as he and Hazel sat on the couch. She was curled into him both wrapped in a blanket.

Hazel nodded leaning deeper in to Sam, "I remember reading something like that. I think they called it propitiation. It's the removal of a cures through a sacrifice that brings with it the right intentions."

Max entered and handed Dean and Sam beer, "So by saving your life she lifted her curse?" Hazel and Sam nodded.

Dean took a swig of his drink, "But why didn't she attack you when Jamie told her to? I mean she had no problem the first time."

Hazel shrugged, "Don't know, and don't care. I'm just glad she didn't. Wasn't looking forward to becoming kitty food." She leaned her head back and looked up at Sam, "By the way that was quick thinking using the log to fish me out."

He smiled down at her and kissed her on the forehead, "I believe that makes us even." Hazel snuggled deeper, ignoring Max as he rolled his eyes.

"So when do you and Dean plan on leaving?"

Dean finished off the bottle, "In the morning. My baby's fix, and I must give a shout out to Max, wonderful work." He raised his empty beer in Max's direction and Max raised his back.

It was Hazel's turn to roll her eyes. "Men and their toys." She took Sam's hand and stood up, "I'm just going to borrow your brother for a moment Dean." She didn't need to see Max to know he was making a face at her this time. "And before you say one word Max, let me remind you that your ex-girlfriend tried to kill me, so back off."

She pulled Sam into her room, shut the door and felt Sam's arms around her waist, his mouth on her neck. "Where were we?"

Hazel turned and wrapped her arms around Sam's neck, "I really don't want you to leave." She stood on tiptoe to kiss his mouth. His hand found the back of her neck and pulled her even closer. She welcomed the feel of his lips on hers.

"Wish we didn't have to go either," he told her cupping her chin and letting his thumb run over where his lips had just been, "but Dean and I have other things to do."

Hazel caressed his cheek, and wrapped her arms tightly around him burying her head in his chest. He wrapped both arms around her. "Hey we still have all night you know."

She smiled at that and looked up at him, "Why Sam, what ever are you suggesting?"

He gave her a cheeky grin as her hands trailed up his side causing him to giggle. "That tickles," he told her trying to back away from her.

Given the door was closed he had little room to move. "I know your not trying to run from me," she teased as she closed the space between them, causing him to be pinned against her door. "Cause you know I might take offence to that." She hooked her fingers around his belt loops and pulled his hips closer to her.

He leaned into kiss her again whispering, "I wouldn't dream of it."

Hazel rolled over and found Sam's spot empty; she sat up pulling her sheets with her. "Sam?" She looked over to her window and saw him sitting there, fully dressed, and watching her. "You weren't going to leave without saying goodbye, where you?" She asked grinning at him.

He stood and sat beside her on the bed, taking her face in his hands, "I wouldn't dream of it." He kissed her softly and she reached her arm up to encircle his neck. He ran his hands down her bare back and she pressed into him.

He pulled back and sighed resting his forehead on hers; "I put my cell phone number by the phone. You call me if you need anything, anything at all." He brushed her hair back and tucked it. "I meant what I said the other day. There is something distinct with you."

She could tell he wanted to say something else, "Say it," she told him, taking his hand and bringing it to her lips. "I want to here you say it."

He looked away towards the window that was letting in the morning sun. He gazed back to her his eyes saying what she wanted him to say. "I love you." He kissed her again and she smiled to herself. He stood up. "I mean it. You call if you need anything."

She nodded and pulled her knees to her chest, "And you call me for shits and giggles." He moved to her door but she stopped him, "Hey Sam?" He turned to her and she smiled, "I love you too." He returned her smile then left. She closed her eyes to keep the tears back. "I love you too," she whispered to herself.
