Chapter Eight is here :D I hope you all enjoy it.

Bobby arrived in the early hours of the morning. He was a little more than shocked to meet the new addition of the Winchester family. Huntress had immediately walked over to Bobby and gently licked his hand. Bobby had rubbed her roughly under her chin and before Dean could protest the two had been rolling around on the floor.

At one point Huntress had almost managed to pin the older hunter down when she had leapt on to his back with her front paws. Bobby was hunched over and was puffing from the play fight. Sam was grinning whilst Dean glowered in the corner at the cute, domestic scene. Sam chuckled, walked over and said,

"Alright Huntress. You've had your fun get off of poor Bobby." Huntress obliged and wagged her tail before throwing herself at Sam, clearly over-excited.

Sam laughed, but firmly pushed her down and attempted to signal her to stop. Huntress trotted over to her water bowel and began to lap the water up nosily.

"She reminds me of my old hunting dog, Rumsfeld." Bobby said fondly as he watched Huntress with a small sparkle in his eyes. Sam placed a hand on Bobby's shoulder and said,

"I bet you miss having a dog around. I remember how upset I was when I had to say goodbye to Bones." Dean cringed visibly and said through gritted teeth, his tone heavy with admonishment

"You mean that blasted dog you took in when you ran away to Flagstaff on my watch! You were missing for two weeks and when dad found out. He beat me black and blue Sam."

Sam's eyes swam with sadness. He had never intended to cause Dean all of that trouble back when they were younger. At the time he just needed to escape the hunter lifestyle and a rare opportunity arose allowing him to sneak out without being detected by his brother's watchful eye.

However, Sam could not deny the fact he had felt truly happy in those two weeks than he had felt most of his life and he owed a lot to Bones. This was the reason why he felt so elated having Huntress with him now. As his nostalgia started to leave him, Sam could only pray that Dean would be won over by Huntress's charm, given time of course.

"Right. Let's get back on the subject," Bobby interjected as he felt the tension rise in the room.

The boys settled down onto the chairs at the table and they listened intently to what Bobby had discovered "Alright as I briefly said to Dean last night. I came across this in the papers," Bobby showed them the article. It was practically identical to the Picnic one they had solved a few days ago. "I am suspecting it is a Wendigo attack.". Dean said surprised,

"Bobby me and Sam solved that. It was a grizzly bear attack. Nothing more, nothing less." Bobby glared at Dean as if he was an insolent child trying to be clever.

"Boy, are you disputing that I don't know my Wendigo attacks from an overstuffed bear?" Bobby questioned in a stern tone that implied he felt deeply insulted.

Dean grinned awkwardly and his eyes lit up like a child's, who knew they had crossed the line and they were trying to weasel their way out of trouble. Sam sighed and apologised on Dean's behalf,

"Sorry Bobby. It's just we were pretty sure it was the grizzly bear."

"Grizzly bear my ass Sam. Besides I wouldn't come here if I didn't have proof. I tracked the bastard back to a cave. But it was foggy at the time so I guess it wouldn't hurt to find out if any other people had seen sightings of it. So will you boys help a fellow hunter?" Bobby explained and Sam looked over at Dean. They exchanged knowing looks.

"Of course we will Bobby. I will go ask around the town. Those policemen are about as helpful as using holy water on an angel". Dean smirked at his own joke as Sam and Bobby rolled their eyes in response.

"I will assist you on the hunt then Bobby. Come on Huntress." Sam called and Huntress ran over to Sam only to be blocked by Dean.

"Nope. The flea-bag stays here."

"What why?" Sam asked his voice filled with annoyance.

"Because Sam we don't know for certain if we can trust that thing," Huntress lowered her head and whined at the accusation. "Who knows maybe it wasn't a Wendigo it could have been her."

Huntress raised her head abruptly and began to make low growls.

"I am not agreeing completely with what Dean is saying Sam. But he does have a point. And we don't want to get her injured now do we? Besides she has had no training and we have not seen her fully in action." Sam decided it was best not to bring up the fact that Huntress had taken on a grizzly bear that was twice her size and had lived.

"Fine. Bobby and I will head into the woods and go to that cave he found. Dean you investigate and see if you can get any information from the townsfolk. We will meet back here later. And Huntress," Sam's eyes were sad for a brief moment as he bent down as she walked over to him. "You stay put." Huntress whined and began nudging Sam's hand before dashing off and grabbing her leash off of the table and brought it over to him. "No Huntress. I mean it stay here. Bed." Sam spoke firmly and pointed to her basket. Huntress stalked over to her basket and laid her head onto her paws. She was sulking.

Sam felt his heartstrings tug and smiled as he walked over and bent down to stroke her again. Huntress rubbed her head on Sam's leg. Sam sighed as he felt a strong urge to take Huntress with him.

"Come on Sam, let's find this Wendigo." Bobby called breaking Sam's train of thought. He grunted in agreement and left. Dean shook his head and looked at Huntress, who gently bared her fangs at him briefly.

"You do anything suspicious or if you so much as move from that basket you will have me to deal with!" Dean barked at Huntress, who he swore rolled her eyes sassily in response. Satisfied he had laid down the law Dean left the motel room and got into his Impala making the short drive into town.

Well that is the end of chapter Eight. Please feel free to review. Any positive or negative criticisms are accepted.
