I fell asleep in Shaun's grasp, when I opened my eyes he was looking down at me a small smile on his face. He kissed my head gently but didn't say anything. I stayed in his grasp, I felt safe since I was right next to him. I knew he wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt me, if they did I know he'd be the one to kick their ass all the way to hell. After that he'd probably bring them back to do it all over again. I looked up at him again my eyes meeting his. He was trying to hide the fear for me in his eyes but I saw it right away, I saw the guilt too. I sat up and sighed. "Shaun...it wasn't your fault. There was nothing you could've done to keep me from getting possesed. It was my fault I was the one who was stupid and left the room. It was my fault."
Shaun sat up. "Nikki if I hadn't been such a jerk to you, you wouldn't have left the room."
"I probably still would have. I can't stand when people are mad at me. So if it wasn't you it was Dean and Sam. I would've left the room anyway." I explained as I sneezed.
"Bless you. Anyway, I probably would have went with you then." He told me.
"Shaun...you would've risked being possesed to." I sighed laying my head on his shoulder.
"Well that's a risk I would've taken if it meant keeping you safe." He wrapped me in a hug and ran his fingers through my hair lightly.
I smiled up at him. "I know."
Dean came through the hotel door. "Oh hey guys, I was just going to wake you up."
"Why?" I asked.
"Sam thinks we should take a car ride, also theres a wendigo up near the mountains." Dean smiled.
"Oh great another hunt." Shaun moaned.
I frowned. "A wendigo?"
Dean nodded. "Yeah but you can't go on the hunt."
"Why not?" I asked.
"Shaun will agree with me too. Wendigo's are dangerous, they can rip you to shreads, they're faster then the speed of light and if they capture you, you most likely get eaten." Dean explained.
"He's right Nikki. You can't go on this hunt." Shaun let me go and stood up.
"But I'm a good hunter." I argued.
"Nikki it has nothing to do with good hunting. It's got everything to do with safety." Shaun argued back.
I crossed my arms. "This isn't fair."
Dean ruffled my hair. "That's life little sister."
I got my duffle packed and Shaun and I went to the car. Sam was already in and sleeping, I smiled and flicked his nose. He sat up and glared at me. "Nikki."
I giggled. "Hello Sammy."
He rolled his eyes. "Just like Dean."
I giggled again and Shaun smiled. "Sam, it's fun to be like Dean. You should try it."
He looked at Shaun. "Yeah I'd rather not, thank you."
Dean got in the car and put his keys in the ignition. "Everyone ready?"
We all nodded and I pulled out my phone as Dean pulled out and put his music on. I was playing guitar hero on my phone when it stopped and a new text arrived from a number I didn't recognize. I frowned and tapped the read on my touch screen.

You got it.
I can't believe you forgot me already.

From: Nichole
Greg.
I didn't kill you!
You saved me.
There was nothing I could do.
You pushed me out of the way.
It all happened so fast I didn't have time to help you.
I'm sorry.
This was getting really crazy I'm having a text conversation with my dead best friend. I must be going nuts, this can't be him right? Another text came in.
To: Nichole
From: Greg
Sorry isn't good enough!
You let me die!
I will get you.
I'll get my revenge.
If it's the last thing I do.
Better watch your back Nikki.
The memory suddenly flooded back.
Greg and I were walking home from the park. We were talking and laughing. He was hugging my waist as we came to the street. The light was red and we began walking across the street. A drunk driver who looked like he fell asleep at the wheel was headed right toward me. I screamed in terror and Greg looked over, he quickly grabbed my waist and pushed me to the grass. I shook my head getting up and saw Greg get hit, his body flew and I screamed his name. I ran over to where he was thrown, blood covered his face and pretty much his whole body. "Greg wake up...please. Wake up." I screamed as tears came down my cheeks, he wasn't breathing and I hit his chest trying to get his heart to beat. "Greg please...please!" I yelled. Paramedics showed up and wanted to take him, I hugged Greg's lifeless body not wanting to let go. I wouldn't let them take him. A guy came over and started trying to pry me off of him. "No Greg. No!" I screamed as the guy held me back not letting me go near him. They called Shaun and I was still fighting with the guy to let me go, they put Greg in a body bag just as Shaun arrived. I was fighting and screaming. Shaun came over and took me out of the guys arms and brought me into his. He whispered soothing words in my ear desperatly trying to calm me down. A week later we had the funeral. That was the worst day of my life.
End memory.
I gulped this can't be happening, it just can't. Greg was dead, I just had to tell myself that. He's not alive, he's dead, he's dead. This isn't real just wake up it's a nightmare. Just open your eyes and everything will be okay, you'll be laying next to Shaun in the motel room. I opened my eyes and saw I was in the car. I started breathing heavy I was so scared, I couldn't even breathe. Shaun sat up. "Whoa...Nikki honey what's wrong?"
I just stopped breathing and passed out.
When I woke up Shaun, Sam, and Dean were all looking at me, all their eyes filled with concern. I tried to sit up and Dean pushed me down gently. "Hey, just stay down. You had a servere panic attack so you stay down and just breathe."
I breathed in and out, looking at Shaun his eyes showed concern. I tried to talk but nothing came out. "You won't be able to talk for a while." Sam told me.
I looked at Shaun he just looked down at me. I knew he was worried that's why he wouldn't talk. "Were going to start driving again you just rest." Dean cooed.
I nodded slowly. A couple minutes later we were back on the road, my head was still in Shaun's lap. I looked up at him. "Shaun." I tried to say but it came out sounding like someone choked me.
"What is it sweetie?" Shaun asked.
"Greg" I tried but it came out the same way.
"Honey if you keep trying to use your voice, it won't come back." Shaun whispered. I sighed and grabbed a peice of paper and wrote down, GREG in big letters. "What about him?" Shaun asked. I handed him my phone and wrote on the paper, READ TEXT MESSAGES FROM 266-404-0998. Shaun looked over the messages He looked at me for a second. "Nikki someone could just be playing a prank on you, its a nasty prank to play and if I get my hands on them I'll fuck them up." Shaun tried to calm me down.
I thought for a second and sat up slowly. The way we were going would lead us to Gregs grave. "Grave." I tried to get out.
Shaun furrowed his eyebrows. "Dean can you turn left up here?"
Dean nodded and turned left and stopped at a well wooded area. "Why are we here?" He asked.
"To calm Nikki's nerves." Shaun stated simply.
We got out of the car and walked into the wooded area to where Greg's grave was located. Sam frowned. "Look it all this dead stuff."
Dean looked around at the dead grass, flowers and trees. "This is either a serious case of black thumb or necromanacy."
"Necromanacy?" Shaun asked.
"Yeah it's when the dead come to life, it's not a good thing. Unless you consider zombies good." Sam explained.
I walked over to Gregs grave and pointed. "You want us to dig it up?" Dean asked.
I nodded. Dean, Sam, and Shaun started digging up the grave. We found the coffin fast and I jumped down gently pulling up the lid hoping to God there was a body in here. I opened it and it was empty. I backed away, I was really scared. Shaun grabbed me and pulled me up, into his chest. "Shaun!" I tried to say.
He smoothed down my hair. "Dean? Sam? What are we going to do?"
Dean and Sam looked at each other and then at us. "We find him and kill him again." They said in unison.
I whimpered and buried my head in Shaun's chest, he smoothed down my hair again and kissed my head. "I won't let anything happen to you I promise." We found a motel to stay in for the night. Shaun was cleaning guns and loading them, Sam was sharpening a stake, Dean was trying to see if he could figure out where Greg might be, and i was chewing on my nails. That was until Shaun gently smacked my hand away from my mouth. "Stop that. Your going to start a bad habit. Don't bite your nails."
I nodded and brought my knees to my chest rocking myself back and fourth. "Nikki your okay. We won't let him get you." Dean told me.
Shaun looked at me. "Hey why don't you go take a warm shower? That'll calm your nerves for a while." Shaun told me as he ran a hand through his hair.
I got up and went to the shower, I looked around the bathroom and saw the window, I saw a black shadow walk by. Okay now I must be losing it...I thought. I turned the water on and climbed in the shower. Shaun was right the warm water was calming me down, I heard a tap at the window and opened the curtain slightly and looked at the window. Since I saw nothing, I shrugged it off. I got out of the shower and put my pajama's on, I looked at the window and Greg's face appeared. I backed away hitting the door keeping me from going any farther. He smirked and lifted his hand to break the window. "Shaun!" I tried to scream but it sounded again like someone had chocked me. "Shaun!" I tried again.
Greg broke the window and I began to cry. Shaun must've heard because he was pounding on the door. "Nikki! Nikki! Open the door!"
Greg smiled. "Hi Nikki. Did you miss me?"
"Nikki!" I heard Dean's voice.
Greg pulled me away from the door. "I told you I'd get my revenge."
