Chapter 3- Sams POV

Sam
There was only about an hour before we were leaving for our next hunt. There was a Shtriga in West Virginia and has put four kids in the hospital, and has killed two. Thankfully we have dealt with one of these before so it wouldn't be as hard this time around, as the first time we hunted one of these things.
I decided I would start cleaning up the room, normally Kenzie would handle the cleaning but I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. I pulled all the food out of the mini fridge and put a couple of the things in the cooler but throwing away all the left overs. I put the beers in the cooler, too then set it by the door. I'll put the cooler in the car when I make my way out the door. I started packing my cloths but I froze when I herd Kenz start stirring, Dean froze too, we went back to packing after a few seconds. When I was done packing he tossed me his keys.
"Mind filling her up and getting some food?" he went right on with his packing.
"Sure thing." I said grabbing my bags and the cooler on my way out the door. I put my bags in the trunk and put the cooler between the passenger and driver seat on the floor. We were only about five minutes away from the closest gas station, the pumps were old and slow and filling up the care took forever. I grabbed some pre made sandwiches that said they were just made. I grabbed some granola bars (Kenzie's favorite) and a few drinks. I grab a yogurt and some veggies with humus for Kenzie. How she has kept up a vegetarian diet for the past two and a half years is beyond me.
When she first told us she's a vegetarian, I thought Dean was going to pass out. He had just taken a big bite of his bacon cheeseburger and about choked on it. He looked at her like she just took a bat and started beating the Impala.
He asked her why she was a vegetarian and the reply was heart breaking. Her and her mom had both become vegetarians over Christmas break the year before she was killed. It was like their special thing and she couldn't let it go, so no matter how hard it was for her to stay a vegetarian she promised she would never eat meat again. She told me about a year ago, that sometimes, she feels that being a vegetarian is the only connection she has left with her mom.
By the time I had gotten back to the motel Dean was all ready to go, he had opened the door and curtains letting the room flood with sunlight. I had just gotten out of the car when I saw Kenzie's sunglasses and sunscreen sitting on the back seat, at that same moment I saw the door open and her step out. I grabbed them out of the car and took them to her, putting the sunglasses in her hand. She took them and slid them on, then we traded the sunscreen for the bag she had over her shoulder. I gave her the look I always give her when giving her the sunscreen, she just smirked. She disappeared back into the bathroom closing the door behind her. I walked to the Impala and put Kenzie's bag into the trunk. Dean had just wolfed down his sandwich and was chugging his Gatorade. Kenz came out of the bathroom then and she got silently into the back seat, she sprawled out in the back. I got her afghan out of the trunk and opened the door to lay it across her. She snuggled up to it and I got the impression she'd rather sleep then eat. We had a six to eight hour drive (depending on traffic) before us and I could tell Dean was happy to be back on the road, done with Kenzie's hunt. I couldn't help but agree that I was happy she was out of harms way. Although now she will probably want to run more hunts, and she'll make it hard to say, no.
Dean got in and started the car. Noting that Kenz was asleep in the back he turned some music on low enough so it wouldn't wake her but loud enough to drown out noise. Kenzie loves listening to music while she sleeps, its something she would do with Adam when she was a kid. If she had a bad dream she would crawl into bed with Adam and he would turn on some music till she fell asleep and even then he would leave it on.
We had only been driving for about an hour when I herd Kenzie, she started making these little whimpering noises. She made them for a couple of seconds before having a full on scream fest. Dean pulled over and put the car in 'park'. I was out of the car before it had even stopped, yanking her out and setting her in my lap, she was covered in a layer of sweat. A single tear escaped and ran down her face. Dean had made his way around the car and was kneeling down in front of us. I started shaking her, but she still wasn't waking up.
"Open your eyes Kenzie!" I practically yelled in her face, but she was still screaming.
"Damn it Kenz!" I could tell Dean felt helpless just watching, I did too to be honest. "Come on kiddo!" Dean was getting impatient and I could tell he was about thirty seconds away from slapping her across the face. I was still shaking her when she finally opened her eyes. She stopped sweating and her breathing started to even out. After a couple of seconds she slip out of my lap and laid back down in the back seat, covering herself with the afghan. Neither Dean nor I moved, that scream wasn't her normal ' I'm having a nightmare' scream that was a 'I'm in pain scream' and we both knew it too.
The first time she woke up screaming from a nightmare I though she was being attached, so did Dean, he actually grabbed his gun.
She told us she has been having these dreams of happy times involving her, Adam and their mom and in the end of the dream they're taken away from her. She's called out for them in her sleep before and she just screamed and screamed for them, about six months ago I started laying down with her and wrapping her in my arms. It is, so far, the only way we've found to calm her down.
That's why I pulled her out of the car and into my lap, it scared me a little when she didn't stop screaming this time.
We got back in and continued to drive to the motel that Dean had booked. It was about six p.m. when we pulled into the motel parking lot. Kenzie was still sleeping in the back seat, I don't even think she moved the whole drive.

Instead of waking her up I carried her in, noting that she had a slight fever, I laid her on the bed farthest from the door and window. I noticed she was shivering so I went out to the car to get her afghan and, the first aid kit we kept in the car, there is some extra strength Tylenol in there that I wanted to give her for the fever. It took three tries to get her to wake up, I gave her the Tylenol and a bottle of apple juice from the cooler in the car that Dean brought in. I let her lean on me while she took them, she stayed leaning against me, and she fell asleep that was. After a couple of minutes I laid her back down, placing the afghan back over her. Dean had stepped out taking a call from Garth, about the Shtriga. Five minutes later when he walked back in I informed him of Kenzie's fever, and I knew he was making the choice of staying with Kenz to keep an eye on her or hunt the monster that's killing innocent little kids. I knew the hunt would win, and it did.
