At the diner, Dean gives the fabric to Sarah and tells her to put it around her neck as a scarf to cover her wounds. They sit down at a seat and the waitress comes over immediately.
Waitress: hey there sweeties! (looks nervously at Sarah's scratched arms) uhh what can I get for you?
Dean: uhh, two coffees, two serves of bacon and eggs, over easy, and an OJ thanks.
Waitress: (writing order) sure thing! (about to walk away)
Dean: aaaand, for you Sarah?
The waitress realises Dean's order is just for himself and gives a quick fake smile to Sarah.
Sarah: um eggs and bacon please. Just one serve for me. And an orange juice. Thank you. (smiles)
The waitress smiles and nods and walks away.
Sarah nervously plays with her fingers and looks down at the table. Dean watches her, curiously.
Dean: so, Sarah. How are you handling the whole, vamp thing.
Sarah swallows nervously and looks at Dean.
Sarah: I dunno... I'm ok I think. I'm just glad they're gone.
Dean: was it just the two of them?
Sarah: yeh just the two.
Dean: how long did they keep you for?
Sarah: (pain shows in her eyes) I lost track of the days pretty quickly. I think it was a couple of weeks.
Dean: (horrified, slight disbelief) they fed on you for a couple of weeks?
Sarah: I think so.. I couldn't see any windows or doors, I could never tell when it was day or night. But I started to notice they would sleep when the weather felt warmer and they were awake when it was cooler. I assumed that meant they only got up when it was night. I figured because of that, they must be vampires. Well, that and the way they kept feeding on me.
Dean: That's awful. I'm really sorry that happened to you.
Dean reaches his hand over and lightly touches Sarah's hands. She gives a half hearted smile and looks down again.
Dean: your scratches look a lot better than before, but I guess they still look pretty bad to someone who doesn't know the whole story (motions to the waitress, who is glaring at Dean from the other side of the diner; he waves his fingers at her and she scowls and walks out back to the kitchen)
Sarah: (looks up) yeah, I washed them the best I could but the hot water stung so I got out of the shower.
Dean: and then the second vampire showed up
Sarah: (eyes starting to water, looks down) yeah..
Dean squeezes her hands to try and comfort her.
Sarah: I'm really thankful you helped me. (looks up) If you and Sam hadn't found me in the woods, I don't know what would have happened. (starting to rant) I tried to run as fast as I could but I knew they'd be faster than me, I couldn't hear anything but I could feel she was getting closer. Thank you so much for helping me, I'm so sorry you had to get involved -
Dean: hey don't apologise, this is what Sam and I do. We hunt things like this all the time. (winks at her) That's how we know exactly how to kill them.
Sarah: (surprised) you hunt these things?
Dean: yeah! We track em down, kill em, find more, kill them too. Not just vampires either. Ghosts, demons, all kinds of things. (bragging)
Sarah: (scared) there are other things like that out there?
Dean: (realises he's said too much) well uh, yeah (laughs nervously) but we don't need to talk about that right now..
Sarah smiles politely at him, then glances down and stares at her fingers again. A few moments of silence go by, until Dean's curiosity overwhelms him.
Dean: if you were there for such a long time, they must have been feeding you to keep you alive?
He immediately regrets probing her for more answers but relaxes when she responds calmly.
Sarah: (quietly) yeah.. every couple of days they brought me chips and candy, junk food like that.
Dean: (nodding, thoughtfully) so that's why you weren't keen to eat the candy I had in the room...
Sarah nods, still looking down. Dean decides to leave it alone for now.
The waitress comes over with a tray and puts their food and drinks down, pretends to smile then walks away. Dean grabs his plates and starts munching down hungrily. Sarah smiles at him and starts eating her food.
Dean: I haven't eaten food like this in weeks.
Sarah: (quietly) me neither
Dean looks at Sarah and feels very sorry for her. She continues eating, quickly but politely.
Dean: (mouth full of food) so anyways, let's talk about something other than vampires... something nice... like... Sam? Sam's nice, right? (winks at her)
Sarah: (softly laughs to herself) Sam is very nice
Dean: yeah, and you know what? He thinks you're nice too (winks again)
Sarah: (blushes and shakes her head) stop winking at me (laughing softly)
Dean laughs quietly and grins at her, glad he made her smile.
They continue eating and making small talk. When they're done they stand up, and Dean accidentally drops his wallet under the table. Sarah bends over to pick it up for him and gravity causes her shirt to fall down slightly. Dean notices the bruises all over her sides and frowns in shock and disbelief. She starts to stand upright again and he quickly grins so she won't see his reaction. She hands the wallet to him with a small smile and he thanks her. He throws some money on the table and they leave.
Back in the room, Sam wakes up suddenly as a vision starts. He sits up and grabs his head, in pain, as the vision plays out. He sees Sarah walking along the road in the sunshine, before someone drives up next to her and grabs her into their car. Sarah screams and tries to fight them but they're strong and fast. The vision ends and Sam panics. He jumps out of bed and rushes out the door, scanning the road trying to see Sarah or Dean or the mysterious car. He sees Sarah and Dean walking casually from the diner and starts running towards them, frantic.
Sam: Dean! Get her inside! They're coming for her!
Dean looks at Sam from afar and frowns. Sarah shakes her head in confusion and fear.
Sarah: what's he talking about? Who's coming?
Dean: I dunno, but he seems serious. Do as he says, get back inside the room.
They both run towards Sam and they all meet. Sam grabs Sarah's hand and pulls her towards the room. When they all get inside, Sam pulls Sarah to the corner of the room and sits her down on the bed. She looks terrified and confused. Dean locks the door and turns to look at Sam.
Dean: what's coming Sam? What is it?
Sarah: (panicked) I thought you killed the vampires?
Dean: we killed two of them but there might be more. What did you see Sam?
Sam: (sits on bed next to Sarah) err I dunno, I didn't see who or what it was. I just saw a black car pull up and someone pulled Sarah inside.
Sarah: (frowning) you saw the black car?
Sam: yeah, you were walking along the road alone, uhh and a black car came up and someone grabbed you and took you.
Dean: I wasn't there?
Sam: (confused) no, I don't think so, I only saw Sarah-
Sarah: (shaking her head, confused) that was when they took me
Sam and Dean: (both look at her) what?
Sarah: that's how they took me. The two vampires you killed.
Sam: (confused) are you sure?
Sarah: (confused but definite) yeah, I was walking home from the store in the afternoon and the black car came and they grabbed me. How do you know about that?
Dean: (ignoring her question) so this has already happened?
Sarah: uhh yeah, on the 13th, I dunno the date now but it must have been a while ago
Dean: today's the 21st
Sam: my vision is a week old? (disbelief)
Sarah: vision? What vision?
Dean: (ignoring her again) what month did it happen Sarah?
Sarah: June. It's June, right?
Dean and Sam look at each other nervously. Sam looks back at Sarah.
Sam: it's July, Sarah. July 21st.
Sarah: (shocked) it's July? I was there for that long?
Dean: (frowning, confused, slowly pacing back and forth) that's a long time for vampires to keep a victim, usually they feed for a few days then either turn them or kill them.
Sam: (looking at Dean) they must have been feeding her to keep her alive that long. Why would they go out of their way to keep her alive for a month?
Dean: I don't know Sammy
Sam: And they grabbed her in daylight, Dean. Vampires never do that unless they're suicidal.
Dean: I know.
Sam: and why was the vampire so desperate to get her back this morning that he attacked her here, in a public place?
Dean: (almost frustrated) I don't know, but I think it's dangerous for us to stay here so we should leave. Now.
Sarah suddenly stands up. Dean stops pacing and looks at her.
Sarah: (scared) you're leaving?
Dean: that's one of the perks of hunting, we move around a lot.
Sarah: (disbelief) so you're just.. leaving?
Sam stands up and turns his body towards Sarah.
Sam: we're all leaving. You're coming with us.
Sarah: (looking at Sam) I am?
Dean: (in the background) she is?
Sam: yes, there's no way we're leaving you alone, you're coming with us.
Dean: do you really think that's a good idea Sam?
Sam: (turns to look at Dean) what do you mean?
Dean: vampires so desperate to keep her alive they feed her for a month? And attack in broad daylight? Twice. Don't you think it sounds a little off?
Sam: that's exactly why Sarah needs to stay with us Dean. If there's a reason they kept her alive so long and went out in the sunlight to get her, more will come after her.
Sarah: (scared) more vampires?
Sam: she can't protect herself against them, she needs our help
Dean: Sammy I understand what you're saying but where are we gonna take her?
Sam: I don't know
Dean: it's not like we have a nice little home set up somewhere nearby. And for how long?
Sam: I don't know
Dean: this isn't what we came here for
Sam: I know Dean
Dean: I agree we should do our best to protect her Sam but we know nothing about this situation
Sam: I know
Dean: we don't know why they're doing this or how many of them there are. Vampires were thought to be extinct but apparently not. We're going into this blind, Sammy.
Sam: (frustrated) I know, Dean! Look we'll figure it out ok? You said yourself we should get outta here, so let's go. There's no way we're leaving her here alone so she's coming with us.(starts moving around the room, packing up their belongings, including the silver tipped arrow on the bathroom floor)
Sarah: (exasperated) I don't understand what either of you are saying, but please let me come with you Dean. I don't have money on me right now but I -
Dean: (sighing) we don't want your money Sarah.
Sam: (stops moving around the room and stands next to Sarah, looking at her) we just want you to be safe.
Sam smiles down at her, trying to reassure her. She looks at Dean hopefully. Dean sighs and nods.
Dean: Sam's right. We wanna make sure you're safe. You're coming with us.
Sarah thanks them both and they pack their items and leave.
