Chapter 4
The three Winchester siblings headed back to the motel.
"We need some sleep." Dean said, "I want both of you in bed in ten."
"Yes, mom." Elizabeth responded sarcastically. Sam grinned and walked into the room. Eli followed him inside and made it into the bathroom first. Dean followed both of his siblings inside and dropped onto the bed, exhausted. Elizabeth came out in black shorts and a white t-shirt and left the bathroom door open.
Sam and Dean reached the bathroom at the same time. They looked each other in the eye and knew what they had to do.
"Rock, paper, scissors!" they said at the same time. Sam chose rock and Dean chose scissors.
"Damn." Dean said. Sam laughed happily and went into the bathroom.
Sam came out and Dean went in. Soon everyone was ready for bed (of course, not in the ten minutes that Dean demanded).
"Goodnight." Dean told his siblings.
"G'night." Sam and Eli responded at the same time.
"What do you want?" Eli asked, already sensing the strange man's presence.
"Am I that predictable now?" he responded.
"You're avoiding the question."
"You're smart as well as pretty. My name's Alexin."
"Alright, next question, Alexin. What do you need with me?" she turned towards him.
"I need you." he walked over to her, "You're a Winchester."
"So you're a demon?"
"Far from it."
"Then what are you?"
"Not important. But my family needs your family. And I just happened to get you. You really are the prettiest one." he lightly stroked her cheek, smiling at her.
"Do you want to keep that hand? If you do, I suggest you stop touching me." a knife instantly appeared in her hand.
"Alright, alright." Alexin brought his hand down to his side.
"Good. Now what do you need us for?"
"Classified information, sorry. You'll learn soon enough." With that, Alexin disappeared.
Elizabeth stood there, utterly confused. The knife left her hand and she was left alone in the clearing that she first met Alexin in. She knew something was coming. What, she didn't have a clue. But it was something.
Something big.
Eli awoke with a start. She immediately got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. She flicked on the light and turned on the water. She splashed the cold water over her face. Her breathing was shallow and she was pretty scared.
She looked in the room to see Sam laying on the couch, asleep. Dean's bed was empty though, which was unusual. Before she had much time to think it over, the motel door opened. Elizabeth picked up her gun from the floor of the bathroom, where she had forgotten to pick it up when she had changed. She aimed it at the door as a figure walked inside.
"Whoa! Is that really necessary?" Dean whispered.
"Sorry." she said, sticking her gun into the waistband of her shorts. She sighed and walked back over to her bed. She sat down and put her head in her hands.
"Hey, hey, hey... What's wrong?" he asked, sitting down next to Eli on the bed.
"Had another dream..." she answered quietly.
"What happened?"
"He told me his name is Alexin, and that his family needs us. And something about him getting me."
"Anything else?"
"Well I was going to leave out the part where he hit on me, but since you asked."
"Wow, well that's not at creepy." Dean muttered sarcastically.
"This is too much. Dreams about a man saying he needs me, your deal. What are we supposed to do?"
"We'll get through it." he said, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders.
"That's just it: We might not."
"I'll make sure we get through it." Dean reassured her.
Eli smiled and him and put her head on his shoulder. Soon, she was asleep once again. As soon as Dean was sure she wasn't going to have another nightmare, he transferred her from his shoulder to her pillow and covered her with his leather jacket. He then went over to his bed and sat down, kicking off his shoes. He then laid down and fell asleep himself.
Predictions? Anyone? I would love to hear what you think is gonna happen next! But I do hope I can surprise you with the ending!
