AN: Okay, I know it's been a while, but there is an effort here. I got for you the next chapter. Man I really want season 1 up because I was re-watching it and it is so good and there are all these perfect moments Vanessa could be in. Any way enough chit chat crap, here ya go.
Morning came and Vanessa was back in the motel bed. Dean tossed her duffle bag on her making her jerk awake with a knife in her hand.
"Easy there, tiger. Get dressed, you're coming with us."
Vanessa rubbed her eyes, "I thought your word was final?"
"Yeah, then I realized, someone needs to help me carry some of these weapons up there in the hills, while eat my candy."
Vanessa looked up at him, he gave her a cocky smile. She returned one, throwing the blankets over her feet. She wore jean shorts going down to her knee with a yellow tank top and red hoodie covering her. She sat in the back seat with Adam who looked happy to be going with his older brothers.
"Don't tell me you don't want to go now, sleepy head," he smirked at her.
"Shut up, child," Vanessa snuggled against him and rest her head on his side. Adam looked down at her smiling to himself. He was going to ignore the warm feeling in his stomach when ever she touched him.
The Impala pulls up to Haley, Ben, and some man with a gun. Haley shook her head as all four Winchesters get out of the car. Sam opens the trunk of the Impala and pulls out the duffel bag.
"You guys got room for four more?" Dean asked.
"Wait, you want to come with us?" Haley tilted her head.
"Who are these guys?" the man asked rudely.
"Apparently this is all the park service could muster up for the search and rescue," Haley sounded disappointed. Sam and Vanessa walked passed everyone.
"You're rangers?" the rude man didn't believe it.
"That's right. That's our trainee and eagle scout shadowing us."
Haley looked down at what Vanessa was wearing at to Dean's comparing the two, "And you're hiking out in biker boots and jeans?"
Dean looks down at himself, "Well, sweetheart, I don't do shorts," Dean walks in front of Haley. The rude man didn't seem to have a sense of humor, "What, you think this is funny? It's dangerous back country out there. Her brother might be hurt."
Sam and Vanessa turned back to see what Dean was gonna say, "Believe me, I know how dangerous this could get. We just wanna help her find her brother, that's all."
They continued to walk in the forest.
The group hikes through the forest, the rude man, Roy, in the lead, then Dean, Adam, Haley, Ben, Vanessa, and Sam bringing up the rear.
"Think Dad's here any where?" Vanessa asked Sam. He just shrugged, "I don't know, I mean why else would he send us here?"
Vanessa looked at him and saw he looked like he was miles away, "Hey, I know it's hard for you now. But it's going to be okay. We'll find dad, then we can kill the son of bitch that's brought us so much pain."
Sam glanced to her, "That's what Dean keeps telling me."
"Well, he's right. And I can't wait to get rid of it," Sam looked over to her, "You and Dean agree on something?"
"Just this one time, Sam, just this one time," she walked a head of him.
Sam, Dean, Vanessa, Adam, Ben, and Haley are looking around near a large rock to see if anything is there.
"Haley! Over here!" Roy yells from a distance.
Haley runs towards Roy's voice, followed closely by the others. They come to a halt when they see the horrifying sight in front of them.
"Oh my God," Haley's voice turns scared.
The tents are torn open and bloody and all the supplies are scattered.
"Looks like a grizzly," Roy said clearly jumping to a realistic conclusion. The Winchesters knew the truth. They looked around for any sign of life.
"Tommy?" Haley takes off her backpack and goes through the campsite, "Tommy!"
Sam went to catch up with the frantic sister, "Shh!"
"TOMMY!"
"Shh-shh-hh!" Sam tried to keep her quiet.
"Why?"
"Something might still be out there."
"Sam!" Dean calls to him as he was crouching. Vanessa was standing by Dean when Sam came to crouch next to him, "The bodies were dragged from the campsite. But here, the tracks just vanish. That's weird."
They both stand, "I'll tell you what, that's no skinwalker or black dog."
Dean goes back to the campsite. Sam and Vanessa follows their brother. Haley picks up Tom's cell phone; it's bloody. She starts to cry. She turns the phone over and the back is open. Vanessa decides to go up to her, "Hey, he could still be alive."
Haley just looked at her through her tears.
"Help! Help!" someone shouted in the woods.
Roy leads the way as everyone runs to the aid of the shouter. It continues to cry for help. Now when voices cry for help, they normally belong to a person. What was strange was that they didn't find anyone. No one was there.
"It seemed like it was coming from around here, didn't it?" Haley was confused. Everyone tuned their ears to listen if they would hear it again.
"Everybody back to camp," Sam said.
When they got back, all of their supplies was missing.
"Our packs!" Haley exclaimed.
"So much for my GPS and my satellite phone," Roy said getting pissed.
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's smart. It wants to cut us off so we can't call for help," Sam said figuring out the monster's plan.
Roy looked to him being skeptical, "You mean someone, some nutjob out there just stole all our gear?"
Sam went to his siblings, "I need to speak with you guys in private," When they were far enough away Sam asked to see John's journal. Dean gave it to him and he flipped through the pages until he found the one he was looking for, "All right, check that out."
Sam points to a drawing of a scary looking figure.
"Oh come on," Dean said not believing it, "Wendigos are in the Minnesota woods or, or northern Michigan. I've never even heard of one this far west."
Vanessa covered her gasp from escaping. She's never seen a Wendigo, but heard horror stories. Stories that she would tell Adam just to see him get scared.
"Think about it, Dean, the claws, the way it can mimic a human voice."
"Great," Dean takes out his pistol, "Well then this is useless."
Sam gave the journal back to Dean, "We gotta get these people to safety."
Sam, Dean, Vanessa, Adam, Ben, and Haley are looking around near a large rock to see if anything is there.
"Haley! Over here!" Roy yells from a distance.
Haley runs towards Roy's voice, followed closely by the others. They come to a halt when they see the horrifying sight in front of them.

"What the hell is going on?"
"It's smart. It wants to cut us off so we can't call for help," Sam said figuring out the monster's plan.
Roy looked to him being skyptical, "You mean someone, some nutjob out there just stole all our gear?"
Sam went to his siblings, "I need to speak with you guys in private," When they were far enough away Sam asked to see John's journal. Dean gave it to him and he flipped through the pages until he found the one he was looking for, "All right, check that out."
Sam points to a drawing of a scary lookingfigure.
"Oh come on," Dean said not believing it, "wendigos are in the Minnesota woods or, or northern Michigan. I've never even heard of one this far west."

"Think about it, Dean, the claws, the way it can mimic a human voice."
"Great," Dean takes out his pistol, "Well then this is useless."
Sam gave the journal back to Dean, "We gotta get these people to safety."
Sam went to get everyone's attention when they came back, "All right, listen up, it's time to go. Things have gotten...more complicated."
"What?" Haley tilted her head.
"Kid, don't worry. Whatever's out there, I think I can handle it," Roy said being cocky.
"It's not me I'm worried about. If you shoot this thing, you're just gonna make it mad. We have to leave. Now."
"One, you're talking nonsense. Two, you're in no position to give anybody orders."
"Relax," Dean said trying to keep the peace.
"We never should have let you come out here in the first place, all right? I'm trying to protect you," Roy steps right up to Sam, getting in his space. Adam gulped, not know where this was going.
"You protect me? I was hunting these woods when your mommy was still kissing you good night."
"Yeah? It's a damn near perfect hunter. It's smarter than you, and it's gonna hunt you down and eat you alive unless we get your stupid sorry ass out of here," Sam told Roy.
Roy laughs, "You know you're crazy, right?"
"Yeah? You ever hunt a wen—" Sam almost let it slip out, but Dean pushed Sam.
"Roy!" Haley yelled.
"Chill out," Dean told Sam.
"Stop. Stop it. Everybody just stop," Haley told the group, "Look. Tommy might still be alive. And I'm not leaving here without him.
There was a long pause until Dean spoke up, "It's getting late. This thing is a good hunter in the day, but an unbelievable hunter at night. We'll never beat it, not in the dark. We need to settle in and protect ourselves."
"How?"
After Dean drew some Anasazi symbols he came back to join Sam and Adam. Vanessa leaned against a tree, secluding herself off from everyone. Dad wasn't here, he might not ever have been. Haley soon came up to her, "You could join us by the fire, you don't have to be alone over her."
Vanessa smirked, "I'm better over here. I can over see everything going on," Haley looked over in the boys direction, "So you're the only girl in the family?"
"Adopted, but yeah."
Haley looked to her, "Oh, that explains the looks."
"What looks?" Vanessa raised an eyebrow.
"The one you've been giving the tallest brother," Vanessa's eyes got huge and was about to deny it, but was cut short, "HELP ME! HELP ME!" the cries returned.
Everyone gathered close and stood together.
"He's trying to draw us out. Just stay cool, stay put," Dean told the group.
"Inside the magic circle?" Roy mocked.
The voice continued, "Help! Help me!"
There was a loud growling noise and Roy pointed his gun to it, "Okay, that's no grizzly."
Haley tries to calm down Ben, "It's okay. You'll be all right, I promise."
Something rushes passed them in the bushes making Haley scream and Vanessa jump.
"It's here," Sam said. Vanessa went to put Adam behind her in a protective way. The rustling continues. Not being able to take anymore of it, Roy starts to shoot at it, "I hit it!"
Roy runs in the forest to go see what he hit.
"Roy, no! Roy!" Dean tried to go get him.
Vanessa looked over to Haley and Ben, "Stay here with me."
Haley grabbed a stick with the end burning, turning it into a weapon. Sam runs after Roy with Dean.
When they came back, Roy wasn't with them. Vanessa looked at Sam and Dean with wide eyes, "Where is he?"
"Gone."
Dean told the Collins about the wendigo, they of course, didn't believe him at first. By morning they did. Sam was leaning against a hollowed tree, playing with the lanyard on John's journal. Vanessa crouched in front of him, "What's on your mind?"
"A lot. Some that's just in the way right now. We have to get these people out of here, fast. Adam and You need to get out of here," he was looking in her eyes. She saw herself in those green orbs.
Vanessa got a sad look on her face. Sam noticed it, "What's wrong?"
She shook her head, "It's nothing. It's not important right now. I'll ask Dean when we're heading out."
Dean informed Haley and Ben what a wendigo is and the weaknesses. Fire is the only way to kill these things. They can be hundreds of years old and feed on humans. They seem to have taking it well. Dean managed to make a Molotov cocktail.
There could be a chance Tommy is alive, but only if the wendigo was rationing it's food. They searched through the woods, Dean and Sam would switch off on leading the way.
"Dean," Sam called to his brother. When he gets up there they look around and see the there's bloody claw marks on all the trees with broken branches all over the ground.
"You know, I was thinking, those claw prints, so clear and distinct. They were almost too easy to follow."
The wendigo use the trees to make his way around the forest. There was a loud growl heard, making everyone look around them. Vanessa saw Haley back up under a tree and blood dripped down on her shirt. Haley felt it and looked up and jump out of the way as a corpse landed in that spot.
Dean looks over the corpse, it was Roy, "His neck's broke."
More growling is heard, it's closer, "Okay, run, run, run, run, go, go, go!" Adam grabbed Vanessa's hand and started to run off. Everybody was at that moment. Ben tripped and Sam went to help him up. Vanessa saw that Sam was behind making her stop in her tracks, "Adam, wait!" Dean and Haley were now ahead, but stopped short. The Wendigo was there. Haley's scream is heard making the rest of the group go to that spot.
"Haley!" Ben calls for his sister.
"Dean!" Adam yelled.
"Dean!" Vanessa said after him. Sam picks up the broken bottle that use to be Dean's Molotov, "DEAN!"
