Disclaimer: I only own my creation Caeli.
After discussing past cases and close encounters with death, Caeli rises to leave causing Dean to stumble to his feet. "Well, I better get at least some shut eye before I
try to figure out what this thing is that me and Sam are chasing our tails after." "I'll call up some people and see what I can find out." "Thanks" Dean offered with a small smile. "Don't mention it. Besides, its my case now too." Caeli replied nonchalantly as she headed toward the door. "What?" Dean asked in surprise, his eyebrow almost
blending in with his hairline. "You heard me," Caeli said turning to face Dean, "You don't honestly think I'll miss the chance to take out a new type of creepy crawly, do ya?" Sighing Dean just shook his head as he walked past her, out into the cold night air. "See you around," Dean called over his shoulder, resisting the urge to look back. "You'll look stupid and like one of those wusses in chick flicks," Dean scolded himself harshly. As he rounded the corner he kicked himself as he looked back but he was too late and only saw the wall of the restaurant behind him. "It's for the best," Dean thought but couldn't repress a sigh.
"How was your night?" Sam asked as Dean loudly opened the door. "You're back earlier than I expected. Didn't think I'd see you till tomorrow afternoon." "Yeah well, I ended up ditching the waitress." Dean mumbled as he flopped onto one of the beds. "Did you talk to that girl?" Sam questioned. "Her names Caeli, and she's a hunter." "Really?!" Sam exclaimed in astonishment. "Uh huh," Dean said lazily as he rolled over to sleep "Tell ya more about it later." "OK, I'll wake you up if anything interesting happens."
Dean stretched as he opened up his eyes and stopped as he took in the room around him. Books and paper were strewn everywhere but more importantly, Caeli was standing over a large scroll with Sam leaning over her to get a closer look.
"Sam," Dean said clearing is throat, "this counts as interesting." "Oh, hey Dean. Lad you're awake, look at this" Sam replied ignore Dean's previous comment. Dean dragged himself off the bed and stood next to Sam. "What am I looking at?" Dean inquired as he scanned the paper. "Right there," Sam pointed to a spot in the middle. Dean's brow furrowed as he took in the information and his jaw set as it became more serious. "Crap" was all Dean had to offer after he finished. "I know," Sam agreed. "It's not that bad," Caeli offered lightly. "Kinda is." Dean remarked. "Anyways, tell me how this fits in with what you guys have found out already." Caeli suggested becoming more business like. "All the victims have been women in there late twenties to early thirties, each has been alone after leaving the bar around the corner from here and witnesses have said they all talked to the same man before they left." Sam relayed and then he began to try and link what he had to read to the situation. "It says here that the Leopard Man attracted maiden with his beauty and lead them back to the forest for the slaughter." "That would explain why all the victims were mutilated." Dean said. "We don't have much time," Caeli pointed out, "it says that the Leopard Man can only switch between leopard and human for a month before he is a full leopard again, and it's already been two weeks." "Well, would you be willing to play bait tonight?" Dean asked partly dreading the answer. "I'd love to," Caeli said with a smile, causing Dean to hate himself for asking. "Caeli I'm not sure if that's a good idea," Sam worried. "Sam, seriously, I'm a hunter just like you. I can take care of myself, I'm a big girl." "Fine," Sam acquiesced.
A/N: Hey everyone! You can probably tell that the next chapter will be action packed! I found the story of the Leopard Man here: . ?title=Leopard_man#ixzz2CW4KjDya. I changed the story a bit to make it fit. Please review and if there are any spelling or grammar errors let me know! *Have some lasagna! (I was told by a friend that cookies are boring)*
