****sorry for all the dialogue. I'm like the dialogue queen****
Fifteen minutes later she was in the bathroom on the toilet. She sat with a towel draped across her lap in and attempt at some modesty. Sam entered the bathroom with a book that looked older than Willa could imagine. She had pulled her hair back in a sloppy pony tail. That was something Sam couldn't do. He handed her a glass of water.
"Drink this, the whole thing." He said
"What is it?" She asked knowing there was no way it was simply plain water.
"Holy water." He replied
Accepting the water she drank it as fast as she could and as quickly as she could. Sam's hazel eyes met hers.
"Are you ready?" He asked sincerely looking for an answer
"As I'll ever be." She mumbled in response
Sam frowned and turned to the page he had marked in the book. He began reading from the book and watching Willa reactions. She listened intently and nervously. The words he spoke frightened her. She was scared, more scared than she would ever admit to the man. He spoke fluently and had no trouble reading what was in the book. She tried to stay relaxed when the first cramp seized her body. She shrieked in pain. She had no idea it would hurt so badly. Sam knelt down with her but never took his eyes off the book and never stopped his chant. He could see her hands were shaking. Her eyes were frantic. She was terrified.
The cramping continued and finally she felt like she was being ripped in two. She reached out and grabbed Sam's arm for some kind of comfort from this stranger. He paused for only half a second. She tried not to squeeze too tightly but all she wanted to do was cry out. Just as she thought she could take no more smoke emitted from her loins, not as much as the man had leave his body but it dissipated as soon as it hit the air. The horrific pain stopped but she could feel the blood clots leaving her body. She looked down and could see blood streaming from her uterus. One final cramp hit her and she leaned forward. Same read the final line and put the book down.
"It's done." He said and embraced her holding her to his chest. Her shaking body let him know she needed comfort. He ran his hands up and down her back slowly attempting to soothe her but wasn't sure if it was working. It could be making it worse.
Clots were still coming out and she was scared. She felt like there was too much blood leaving her body and she worried with that state she was already in from being neglected if it was too much for her to handle. She let out a deep shaky breath and leaned away from Sam's strong arms. He was trying his best to be kind to her but it wasn't helping at the moment. She just wanted to sit as still as possible for the time being. He held her shaking hand and studied her face.
"I think I'm losing too much blood." She said.
Sam's mouth dropped open. She felt like she was going to faint but she wasn't sure if it was the blood loss or simply her nerves getting the best of her.
"Sam, can you give me just one private minute?" She asked
He wanted to protest but she had to be a little freaked out from what just happened. How could he deny her one minute? "Ok. Just one, I'm counting." He said and reluctantly let go of her hand.
As soon as he left the bathroom she wiped all the blood she could. Though it was still coming out it wasn't coming out as fast. She shoved toilet paper in her underwear and stood. She was feeling dizzy. She went to the sink where she splashed water on her face. It wasn't helping. She tried holding on to the sink for support but her strength seemed to leave every part of her body. She fell to her knees and her hands hit the ground a moment later. Sam must have heard the noise. He thrust open the door and saw her. Rushing to her he could see she was pale.
"You're going to the hospital, now!" His voice was deeper with force and she wasn't about to argue. She closed her eyes and her body fell to the floor. As Sam was picking her up she fell into unconsciousness.
The time at the hospital was short lived for Willa at least it seemed that way to her since she was out for quite a bit of it. She was questioned over and over by police officers asking what happened, why she had bruises, were the men that brought her here responsible for her kidnapping, were they responsible for the bruises, what was she doing with them, and many more questions she had no interest in answering. She lied to the police and told them she had spoken with her parents. She would do that in the morning when she was ready and rested. They explained she had been missing for 29 days. That was actually more than she thought. Sam and Dean were questioned about what had happened. They told the police officers they found Willa wandering in the woods and Willa verified the story. They would all be locked up in the nut house if the truth was told. They ran tests to see who her kidnapper was and made Dean and Sam submit DNA to perform further testing. They were reluctant but fully cooperative as they were innocent and had nothing to hide. She was allowed to leave as long as she promised to get plenty of rest. She really had no desire to do anything at the moment so rest was easily the first thing on her list.
Back at the hotel Lauren was very concerned about Willa. She was nearly in tears when Willa explained to whole story to her. Mainly it touched Willa to see how concerned she was and she vowed to be as nice as possible to Lauren until they took her home. Willa made sure to ask how Lauren was doing and Lauren said she was doing alright amongst the circumstances. While she talked with Lauren, Willa lay down in the bed. She remembered Lauren was chatting away when Willa passed out on the poor girl. She was exhausted and the stay at the hospital wasn't nearly enough time to catch up on all her body had been through.
When Willa woke in the morning she was alone in the room. Her stiff body barely let her make it to the bathroom in time. She could see she was still bleeding but nothing to make her worry. She showered and was thankfully for a fully hot shower. Everything was easier to do for herself but she was still in pain. Though there was probably pain medication left in her system from the hospital. She dried her hair with the blow dryer which she rarely did but the warmth was heaven. She left the room having no choice but to put on the dirty clothes. As she walked out she saw someone in the room and it made her jump. It was only Sam but she thought she was alone.
"Sorry." He said "I thought I heard you up. Breakfast?"
"Please." She responded
He called Dean and asked him to pick up something for Willa. He and Lauren had gone out to breakfast and were going to load up on a few supplies for the got out on the road.
"I think it's time I call my parents. Do you mind if I speak with them in private?" She asked Sam
"Sure." He said nodding. "Here" He reached in his pocket and pulled out his cell phone.
"Thanks." She responded and took the phone from him. He left the room to give her privacy and she dialed the number. It only rang a couple of times before she heard her father's voice on the phone. She nearly choked on the air she was breathing when he answered.
Breathing in she replied "Hi Dad"
"Willa?" He said astounded "Honey get on the phone." She heard him say through a muffled receiver.
"Willa my girl is that you?" Her father's voice sounded like heaven.
"Yes Dad."
She heard a loud click and her mother was on the phone.
"Willa?"
She choked through the word "Mom" and began crying. She knew this would happen once she talked to them.
"Are you okay?" Her mother asked
"I'm fine." She managed to say through her tears.
"Where have you been? What's been going on? Willa we've missed you so much!" Her father said. She paused gathering her thoughts together. Crying was making her want to blurt out everything. And they didn't need to hear everything not yet, maybe not ever. Sobs came up through her chest and she dared herself to say anything before she calmed down.
"Honey, are you alright? We've been worried sick." Her mother asked
Willa sucked in all the air she could.
"Just breathe dear and visualize yourself relaxed surrounded by yellow soft, soothing, and warm."
It was her mother's way of getting her to calm herself since she was a little girl. It was usually followed by a miracle tea that her mother knew the recipe for. She knew how to calm her and keep her level headed. It seemed as though the spent much of their time teaching Willa how to be a mature level headed adult and not to act on crazy impulses.
After closing her eyes and releasing the air she answered. "I'm okay." She managed to force the words from her lungs.
"Where are you?" Her father asked
Suddenly it dawned on Willa she had no idea where she was. If she didn't still have pain in her head she would've smacked her forehead for being such a moron.
"I'm sorry I really don't know. Things have been a little crazy. "She realized how stupid and immature that must sound to her parents. She shook her head.
"But I'm okay now. I'm in a hotel. Someone kidnapped me. These men found me. They've been helping me. I've been to the hospital. I'm fine. Just tired is all." She did her best to downplay her stupidity. Tears were still falling but she had relaxed enough to not hyperventilate.
"When are you coming home?" Her father asked
"We'll come get you." Her mother spoke up
"No No. You don't have to. The men who found me will bring me home. I guess as soon as I figure out where I am I will let you know."
"What kind of men?" Her mother asked
She didn't want to lie. She thought of the first thing that came to mind. She had heard conversations but not gotten the whole gist of what they did for a living.
"They're hunters." Willa answered
"We never received a ransom note, are you sure you're alright?" Her father asked
"Yes I'm so much better now but I….I don't want to talk to you about everything over the phone. I'd like to tell you in person."
There was silence on the phone. Willa was sure her parents were doing a quick rundown of everything that could have possibly happened to their daughter. Hopefully their minds didn't divulge too far.
"I promise to call you this afternoon when I figure things out. " Willa said
Her parents were satisfied with that answer for now but she would rundown and replay how the conversation would go for the rest of her life. They exchanged their "goodbyes" and "I love you's" and Willa hung up the phone. She darted for the bathroom so Sam wouldn't see her tears. She had the best parents in the world and she missed them like crazy. She leaned on the sink for support as she let tear after tear go. Wave after wave of emotion hit her hard. Anger, sadness, loneliness, it was all there and all hitting at one time. She didn't want to feel this way and if she could just have her mother's soothing voice telling her to relax it seemed it would make it all better. The knock at the door brought her out of her pity party.
"Willa, you okay?" Sam asked through the door
She sighed heavily. "Yes"
"Dean and Lauren will be back soon." He said
"Okay."
Willa pulled herself together and splashed cold water on her face. Her eyes were red and her cheeks were puffy. Every sign that tears had been falling were there. She couldn't hide in there all day so she came out. Sam was picking up his phone that she left on the nightstand. He noticed she had been crying.
"Everything go okay with your parents?" He asked
The lump grew in her throat as she thought of her answer. She rubbed her hands across her tired face and looked at him.
"Yes it was…difficult though." She answered
Same nodded understanding. He played with his phone in his hands trying to think of something else to say. Nothing came to mind. Willa watched as he sighed and left to go to the adjoining room. She sat on the bed and rested her elbows on her knees. She was getting used to feeling sorry for herself.
Not much later she heard a noise in the adjoin room. Lauren burst in the room shopping bags in hand. Dean wasn't far behind her with a brown paper bag.
"We went shopping!" Lauren said excitedly slinging the bags on the bed. "Dean got us some more clothes."
Willa groaned. "Dean I swear ill pay you back for everything." She said as he set her food down on the table. He winked at her and went to join Sam in the next room. She managed a chuckle when Lauren caught sight of the redness on Willa's face.
"You've been crying." Lauren exclaimed "You never cry
"I never let you know I was crying." Willa stated.
Lauren's shoulders slumped. Willa stood and walked to the table where she sat down and began to dig in. Dean had brought her exactly what she asked for, pancakes, fruit and orange juice. She ate faster than she had the day before and ate more.
Lauren began rummaging through the bags she brought in.
"These are for you. I figured you were maybe a size bigger than me. Your hips are bigger than mine." She was referring to a pair of jeans she pulled out of the bag and threw on Willa's bed.
Willa rolled her eyes but continued to stuff her face. She saw Dean leaning against the doorframe watching them both. He opened a can of beer and took a sip.
"Look." Lauren shouted. She pulled out a pink sparkly shirt that Willa prayed wasn't picked out for her. "I got you a shirt. Isn't it cute? We also got sports bras, a pack of tank tops, and a few plain t-shirts that Dean picked up."
Willa raised her eyebrows and shot a grateful look to Dean. He had been paying attention and not just to the blonde with big boobs.
"Oh and flip flops. Aren't they cute?" Lauren asked as she tossed the wretched pink things on Willa's bed. She recited in her head "She means well" but it didn't help her aggravation. Now that she was out of that hell she didn't want to relive any discomfort from now on. But no one knew her size so the footwear would have to do for temporary purposes.
"Oh and one more bag. I got you some granny panties but thongs for me. I didn't think you would like them." Lauren said
"I know I do." Dean chimed in. "I'm hoping to see them modeled later on." Willa laughed at the twinkle in his eye. She knew he wasn't serious unless of course the offer was on the table. Sam pushed passed Dean through the doorway.
"My brother's hormones get in the way of his intelligent thinking." Sam said as he entered the room rolling his eyes. Sam sat at the table with Willa.
"That may be the perfect way for me to thank you." Lauren cooed at Dean. She turned back to Willa as she nearly spit out her breakfast. Dean sipped his beer and winked at this brother. You could see Sam's face was filled with disappointment.
Willa changed the subject. "Where exactly are we? What city?"
"We're in Painter, VA"
Willa nearly spit out her food again. "I live in Florida!" She exclaimed "How the hell did I get all the way up here? I must've been out forever."
Dean and Sam both looked at one another with eyebrows raised. That was a longer trip than they anticipated.
"Really? I live in Hampton." Lauren said.
"Well we told you we would take you both home, maybe we can find some jobs along the way Dean." Sam said
"Yeah okay." He said and took a long sip of the beer.
"I can get my parents to buy me a plane ticket or wire some money. I had no idea I was this far." She shook her head wondering how he got her that far so fast.
"Is there a reason he would have taken you girls. Why you might be singled out?" Sam asked
Willa sat thoughtfully but nothing came to her. Her parents had money but Laurens didn't not from conversations she had or heard parts of. Both Willa and Lauren shook their heads.
"You've never seen anyone with black eyes before, never in your life?" Dean asked
Willa's head pounded with a memory of the man's eyes. She had tried not to look at him while he was raping her but there were times she was sure she had seen him with eyes fully filled as black as coal. Though it was hard to see with the dim light in the room she thought she had been seeing things.
"I thought I saw his black a few times." She responded
"I did too." Lauren chimed in but it was clear to Willa the question was directed at her.
"But no one ever before that?" Sam asked
Willa shook her head in response. She was beginning to wonder where this conversation was going.
"What's your family life like?" Sam asked
She squinted her eyes. Dean and Sam seemed to be eager to gain information from her that she wasn't interested in divulging to two strange men.
"Perfect. Why are you asking?" She replied
Sam and Dean exchanged knowing looks. It made Willa angry to see they were making assumptions about her life. They had no idea who or what she was about or what her life was like. Her emotions were high possibly from the earlier morning's conversation.
"What the hell is so wrong with having a perfect life?" She asked angrily.
"Nothing. If you mind not having a soul." Dean responded
Willa shot darts at him with her eyes. She slammed her fork down and stared at him. What was he trying to say?
Sam interrupted her thoughts. "What Dean means is do you think your family had any sort of luck that came out of nowhere? Winning the lottery, perhaps?"
"No! My family has worked hard for everything they have. So maybe Granddaddy was rich enough to pass along some cash but my father didn't spend 12 years in school for no reason. He's a prominent plastic surgeon and my mother is an established attorney. Is that what you need to know?"
Dean raised his eyebrows. "Sounds lucky to me." He said.
She could've slapped him if he wasn't standing across the room.
"We work hard! There's been no streak of luck anywhere in my family. Maybe some stock choices were lucky but that's what stocks are all about. What are you implying anyway?"
"So no one made any deals with a demon?" Dean asked
"What?! They would never! You're insane!"
"Am I?" Dean asked
If she wasn't raised properly she would've socked him in the jaw. Instead she stood slowly and stiffly walked out of the hotel room. As she opened the door she heard Sam angrily say Deans name. She slammed the door shut and it immediately opened behind her. She turned to see Sam right behind her.
"Just leave me alone for a minute." She said angrily. His face dropped and she could see he was hurt by her words. She turned away from him.
"We're just trying to figure out what's going on." Sam said
"I don't know what the hell is going on Sam! This whole crazy thing is a mess."
"Okay I'm sorry. We're sorry." He pleaded
"You can't apologize for your brother."
Willa took a moment to calm down. Anger was not making the situation any easier to deal with. She sat on the small concrete stoop outside of the room. Sam stood in front of her but far enough away not to make her uncomfortable.
"The truth is, we'd like to take you home so we can speak with your family. Demons don't normally seek out someone to impregnate. And Lauren is almost useless she never speaks with her family."
Willa looked up at Sam.
"Can I just be alone for a few minutes?" She asked
Sam sighed. He wasn't sure what the right thing was. It was a simple request but they feared for her safety. Something was out there that wanted her for reasons they needed to know.
"No I'm sorry." Sam decided. "We think you're in further danger. Demons are everywhere and could use anyone's body at anytime. I'd like for you to come back inside…please?"
She was taken aback. Sam wasn't the blunt one. The truth had come out and maybe she had truly known all along she was taken for a reason. It would be a long time before she was out of danger. As she began to stand Sam took her hand and helped her up. She walked back in with her head held low and found the clothes Lauren picked out for her. She changed but not into the stupid sparkly shirt. She "accidentally" left that behind in a drawer in the bathroom.
