Ok so more supernatural interaction ;-) ha and a bit more of a build up to the romance :-)
They arrived in Woodward two days later tried form travelling and the brothers had noticed Jess had been unusually quiet, figuring it must be her brothers birthday. Even though that was some of it, Jess had not slept well that last two nights, things happening in her dreams that she felt she should be remembering. Last night in particular was strange, she could remember a huge white wolf but had a sense of knowing her as if it hadn't been the first time that it had been in her dreams. But it was more the sentence that kept floating around in her head. It is not the way, you are..., Jess was at a loss for what it meant, her being the way? The way to what? It was annoying her and she had the feelings of déjà vu when it came to the dream. She kept waking up with really bad headaches as well but this was the first time she could remember dreaming.
"Jessie?...Jess?" Charley waved a hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her thoughts "We're here..."
"Oh, ok...I'll get the room" Jess said
Dean and Sam watched Jess walk to the office of the small motel then Sam turned around to Charley. "Is she doing ok? She just seems really...off"
Charley sighed "She hasn't said anything to me, even though I know it's to do with the date. But I don't think she's slept to good the last few days, I saw her this morning...I mean she shot up out of the bed, out of breath and all...Do you think the last job is only starting to effect her now, it can't be nice knowing six other women became enslaved for you, not to mention the pain she experienced"
Dean thought about the days before the last hunt, "Hay wasn't she having a hard time sleeping before Mobridge?"
"Ye actually you're right, she slept in the car on the way down because she had a rough night's sleep" Said Sam
"And she'd had that head ache as well" Dean remembered
"Jessie said she had a head ache this morning too" Charley watched Jessie in the office for a minute "We gotta ask her what's up, it's like drawing blood form a stone so no mercy when we get her in that motel room" Charley ordered they nodded in agreement,
Dean looking back to where jess was, now I'm starting to see why Sammy bugs me so much about talken, I'm worried about her and it driving me crazy.
Jessie hopped back into the car and directed Dean to the room, once parked outside everyone grabbed their bags and the stuff for putting protective warding around the room. After everyone was settled, Jess rummaged in her bag for all the info on the case they were on now, assuming that they were going to start today as it was still only early. Instead Charley went over and plucked the stuff out of Jess's hand, "Ok, Jessie spill?"
Jessie looked confused at Charley "Spill what?..."
"You were out of it all the way here in the car and you haven't been sleeping the last few days, so spill, now" Charley crossed her arms and waiting impatiently, Sam and Dean also crossed arms in the background and raised their brows, waiting.
Jessie frowned "Sorry. Didn't realise I was that out of it" she shrugged
"Spill babes" demanded Charley
Jessie sighed and sat down on a small chair, the others following suit "To be honest it's only really today that my heads all over the place. Eh...well I've been having these weird dreams or at least I think I've had more than one, it's more a déjà vu feeling when I think about what I can remember today"
"And the headaches?" asked Sam
"Only when I dream...I think"
"What are the dreams about?" Dean said
"It sounds a little strange but I can only barley remembered the one I had last night, it's only flashes but...I get the feeling I've had similar ones..."
"What do you remember?"
Jessie's face took on a wistful expression, her eyes focusing on something far away "I'm just standing in this field, middle of nowhere. And there's this huge white wolf...taller than me...but I'm not scared, she's almost...familiar. And there's this voice all I can remember it saying is something about me being the way but...I know there's more like I'm forgetting something I shouldn't..."
"Huh...We thought you might have been more upset about the last hunt than what you were saying...and well I thought the date was..." Charley trailed off asking in another way if there was more to Jessie's upset.
"I know what date it is...and yeah it hurts...something fierce but there's nothing I can do" Jess said resigned.
The three others stayed uncomfortably silent for a minute not knowing whether to push Jessie or not, Sam knew Charley had cried at least but they all knew Jess hadn't shown any outward sign of being upset...and the dreams well they could mean nothing, but Sam and Dean knew from experience not to right off dreams, just to be safe.
"So the only tangible thing in this dream is a white wolf and what you hear?" Dean asks drawing everyone out of their thoughts, Jessie threw him a gratefully look.
"Yep, no name or landmarks in the field...the wolf is different though...she aware..." Jess trailed off.
"Aware like; watching you?" Sam asked
"No, not just that more looking at me and seeing me not just watching" she shrugged
"Well no more keeping it to yourself Jess. Me and Sam know that sometimes dreams aren't just that, you're waking up with headache and being tired is more of a reason to watch them"
"Ok, if I have anymore I'll tell you guys but like I said I only remember last night's one"
"Still..." Sam said, him and Dean sharing a look.
"Right so, the job" Charley said, clapping her hands together and dishing out the bits of paper they had.
So, the job they were on now was in a small town, homely looking place, apparently there were freak accidents happening to people who had a run of good luck in their businesses all to do with statues moving and portraits supposedly coming to life and other weird things. One person got shot with what was supposed to be a prop gun, another was walking outside his house when a man hole, reportedly came from nowhere, opened up underneath him, broke his leg. Other things were happening too like someone reporting seeing Dracula feeing off a homeless guy who was found dead and one person claiming their house turned into a computer. All in all it was totally messed up.
The two brothers did themselves up in their suits and tie's ready to go in a state marshals while the girls took the reporter end of things again. Sam and Dean were going to interview the victims of the accidents while Charley and Jess went to the site of the accidents and statue and portraits places.
By the end of the day the girls had spoken to dozens of people and got back to the motel a few hours after the boys had. The boys were using the laptop to try and piece together some of the similarities when the girls came in, Charley and Jess sprawled on the free bed groaning.
"Today went well then?" remarked Sam, smiling at the girls.
"Some people are so weird" sighed Charley, causing Jess to giggle at her
"It's not funny babes, not once today did that happen to you, not once" she huffed only having Jess laugh harder.
"What happened?" Asked Dean
"Every place we went today about the statues, portraits and odd sightings some fucken weirdo tried to feel me up ..." Jess just giggled harder again "Jess...it was so not funny"
"It's what you started saying that was funny baby girl...receding hair line your man nearly died..."she gasped "...and then when we pretended to be a couple ..."
"Some people have weird kinks..." Charley said exasperated
"Wait wait...so you were felt up the whole day and you two pretended to be a couple?" Dean asked, Sam was slightly fuming hearing that some random guys were grabbing a feel of Charley. Though both boys were a little surprised at Jessie laughter, knowing how protective she was of Charley. Jess explain it the two brothers.
"At first Charley was real polite to the guy who hit on her but when he started coming on a bit stronger the shit he was saying...it was like he was reciting Romeo and Juliet. And your face Charley...your jaw hit the floor. Anyway, all of the guys that hit on her started quoting real cheese movie lines, I think one was even from Titanic, and she was getting so pissed so we decided to be a couple. It worked for like one guy then the next one just said he didn't mind sharing Charley with me, she hit him such a box I swear he saw stars..." Jess was outright laughing now, Dean and Sam chuckling with her. Charley was still in a huff
"Oh come on baby girl...it was funny..." she poked Charley in the ribs causing her to squirm.
"Alright, so it was a little funny...but still I mean it was like a bad movie, all of it"
"So did you two find out anything, talking to the victims?" Jessie asked
"Yeah, they guy in hospital with his broke leg said he was walking up the drive to his door when this man hole opened and he fell into his basement. Doctor's report confirms that it was a nasty fall to brake the leg but police and paramedics were stumped on how he did it in his basement. Then get this we went to the morgue and saw that homeless guys body, two fang marks in the side of his neck and all his blood drained. There are other weird accidents that don't add up but we can't figure out what causing it" Sam said
"What about you two anything at those places?"
"Ye, I swear the statues moved while we were there and the portraits too but its only small movements, we took pictures on our phones. And apparently someone has reported seeing tentacles in the schools swimming pool and a werewolf. Everything about these are random, people don't even get hurt every time something happens, only those whose businesses have basically cleaned up and may have gone on the shady side of things" Charley said
"How do you mean?" Dean asked confused
"The guy who broke his leg was said to have been using his recent success to talk women into sleeping with him and in some cases black mailing but no reports were made. The guy who got shot with the prop gun was supposed to be selling his business to some big company who wanted to exploit the things that were happening in his shop. He only found out that this company were actually planning to move the things and tare his shop down. But the majority of the people here won't allow something like that to happen because the town is so old" Jess explained.
Dean rubbed his hands through his hair "None of this is linking up at all"
"I know" Sam sighed "It's all random, no pattern or specific type of person, no one place or one thing causing all the trouble...it's just all over the town"
The four spent the rest of the evening spinning out theories and ordered food, the two girls still sprawled on the bed flicking through all of their notes from today and the pictures. The boys filing through doctor's reports and medical files.
"I'm lost" Charley eventually said "It all just reminds me of silly move scene's or stupid old films"
Dean thought for a minute, "What if it is?..." everyone looked at him confused
"What if it's what?" Sam said
"What if is something supernatural making all these things happen but copying movies and stuff?"
"Huh..." Sam thought "makes sense, it's the only thing that would even come close to tying it all together. But why?"
"What could do that?" Jess asked
"Em...I don't really know, first thing that comes to mind is magic so...witch...warlock?"
Dean groaned "I hate witches" he huffed "Everything always get so messy and gross" he complained
"Right...compared to every other hunt where we come back squeaky clean" Charley laughed, Dean pouted "Smart arse"
They decided to go back to the spots where the accidents and killing had happened and try the EMF meter, and see if there were any markings or spell bags. They came up empty, no reading on the EMF, no sulphur, no spell bags and no marking that they could find. The group went back to the motel tired after an exhausting day and night to try getting a few hours sleep. They were planning to interview the doctors and police tomorrow and see if there was any lore surrounding the town.
Dean was worried about Jess and her lack of sleep or at least the lack of benefit the sleep was having for her, she was dead on her feet right now, because as it was, it's been three days since she slept properly. He watched as she sluggishly got ready for bed and crawled into the covers on the bed he was sitting on. It gave him a little thrill knowing Jessie always went to the bed he was staying in now. Sam and Charley had even been caught snuggling yesterday morning...though he was a little jealous of that.
They seemed to be getting closer that way quicker than him and Jess were, it irked him a little, but then again it's not like he's done much in the way of making a move, wonder what way she would be if she did wake up with my arms around her, she thought Sammy and Charley were cute, she said it herself.
Dean had more or less made up his mind, deciding to at least if Jessie would flip if he hugged her to him tonight. Getting ready for bed Dean washed up in the bathroom and changed into a pair of sweats and t-shirt. He slid into bed and switched off the bed side lamp, looking at Jess of a minute or two it seemed like she was asleep. So he moved a little closer and trough his arm over her waist over the covers, closing his eyes and trying to get some sleep.
Charley was the first one to wake up the next morning, finding her head on Sam's shoulder, again, and his arm around her. She got a little flutter in her stomach, she loved looking at him sleep, he always seemed to tense when he was awake. Looking at him now made her flush, he was handsome and bashful at the best of times, always blushing even a little at her, Jess and Dean's dirty jokes. He was a little more forward with her lately, not that she minded, she loved it actually and couldn't help but think they would be a good couple.
"You're staring" whispered Sam, Charley jumped with the shock.
"Oh..." she covered her face with her hands and shook her head embarrassed at having been caught.
Sam chuckled, his voice husky from sleep "Sorry, didn't mean to frighten you"
"I thought you were still asleep" she mumbled behind her hands, Sam gentle pried them away from her face.
"What?..."
She sighed and blushed "I thought you were still asleep" biting her lip
Sam stared at her lip for a moment and then shook his head "Nope been awake for a few minutes...Do you wanna come get breakfast with me?"
Charley smiled and nodded yes, they eased away from one another both shy, then Charley look across to Dean and Jess "Nhaw...that's adorable" Dean had his arm slug over Jessie waist with her head tucked under his chin. Sam smiled softly, he's never seen Dean actual want to be with someone, in a relationship like, and his brother literally hadn't slept with anyone since before Jess and Charley had come to them.
"Gonna rib him over that" Sam said, Charley affectionately slapped his arm
"I wouldn't, tenner beats they've see us well..." she motioned to the bed, Sam sigh
"Ye suppose" Sam left a note for them in case they woke up and took the keys, heading out with Charley to bring back breakfast.
Jessie's eyes snapped open just after Sam and Charley had left, her head paining her again and the fringes of a dream flashing through her mind. It took her a moment to notice how she was asleep and she smiled despite the pain, until a particularly bad wave of pain caused her to tense, she pinched the bridge of her nose and held in a groan.
Dean however was already awake, and when he felt Jess freeze jumped to conclusion assuming in was because he was holding her. Only when he tried to move back and the light hit Jessie eyes, causing her to tuck her head back into his neck did it click with him that it was probably her head.
"Jessie?.." he asked, she gingerly pulled her head back enough to see his face, still pinching the bridge of her nose and squinting her eyes against the light.
"Headache again?" he asked worried.
"Yeah, but it's easing off quicker" she smiled reassuringly. Dean gave her a quick hug, which she returned before rolling out of bed to fetch her some Tylenol. Handing her two tablets and a glass of water he sat next to her on the bed again.
"Remember anything this time?"
"Yeah same things really, nothing new just like I remember it more clear" Jessie sighed "Have to admit it's starting to annoy me, still feel like I got no sleep", she sighed and scrubbed her eyes with the heels of her hands, Dean couldn't help but notice how adorable she looked.
"Where are Sam and Charley?"
"Gone to get breakfast. Why don't you take a shower, might wake you up a bit?"
"Is that a nice way of telling me I stink?" she sassed
Dean pursed his lips and then leaned in quickly to Jessie's neck taking a lung full of her scent, "Hmmm..." he pulled back
"Well what's the verdict?"
"You're ok..." she aimed at flicking his head till he dodged
"Shower it is then" Jess said smiling
Dean breathed out a relived huff when Jess disappeared in the shower, she smelled so good, god, fuck I'm turned on...work the case, scolding himself.
Sam and Charley got back to the motel, breakfast in hand, "Did you get me proper food?" Dean asked Sam
"Dude I always get you proper food"
"We got you sausage and bacon sandwich, no fear Dean" Charley said
"Where's Jessie?.." Sam asked
"Shower, she had another dream last night and headache this morning, said the dream was the same as the night before. But she's not sleeping with them" Dean explained around a mouth full of food.
Charley pushed her hand through her hair and huffed out a breath "She's gonna fecken drop with exhaustion if she doesn't start getting a good night's sleep"
After a few minutes they heard a gasp from the bathroom, and Jessie muffled voice
"Holy fuck...you've got to be kidding me" The first thought in everyone's head was, no way her tail is back, Charley jumped up from the bed to bang on the door.
"Jess?..."
"Charley can you grab my bag please?..." she asked voice sounding odd, higher or something like that
"Sure..."
Charley knocked on the door again and put the bag through the door, "Em I actually need you in here for a second" Dean and Sam's brows shot up
"Jess what's goin on? "Sam said
"I don't know...I'm hoping it's nothing" Charley slipped into the bathroom with Jessie's bag and just before the door shut the brothers saw the shock on her face
"What the fuck is that Jess? Where did you get it?" Charley's voice came from behind the door with Jess shushing her.
Dean knocked on the Door, "Look just let us know if you're ok, or we're coming in anyway"
"I'm not hurt just give us a few minutes" Jessie pleaded
Charley gapped at Jessie and whispered, "Jess what...I mean where, did that, come from?" Hung on the back of the bathroom door was a stunning red floor length dress, strapless and a split all the way up one side, on the floor were a pair of fuck me black heels.
"I don't know but look..." Jess went to pick up her clothes she had brought in with her and her hand passed through them, Charley panicked for a second till she grabbed for Jessie arm, sighing when she was able to touch her.
"I can't touch my stuff and look..." she whined out reaching for the red dress for the material to shift in her grasp.
Charley couldn't help it, she laughed long and hard clutching her side. Jessie pouted clinging to the small towel draped over her body. "Charley..." she whined.
Sam and Dean relaxed hearing Charley laugh on the other side of the door, "Can't be bad if she's laughing right?" Sam said hopefully
"You wouldn't know with them two" Dean smirked
Charley eventually calmed down, trying her best not to laugh at Jessie predicament, "Ok..." she said calming down "let's try some of your other stuff" they went through each item out of Jessie's bag and everyone her hand went through, they even tried Charley's top but still her hand passed through.
"Jess, babe I know it's weird but it looks like if you want to get dressed today you'll have to wear that, we can figure the rest out later" Charley chuckled again, all Jess was short of doing was stamping her foot in frustration.
"I can't wear that" she shouted
Sam and Dean looked at each other, "Jessie never seemed the type to worry too much about what she wore" Dean stated. Sam walked back over to the bathroom and could hear, whispered bickering on the other side until Charley open the door and came back out with Jessie bag.
"What going on?" he asked, Charley was trying so hard to be serious about this but just could not stop giggling, Dean was going to die when he saw her.
"Charley I'm gonna kick you arse I can still hear you giggling" Jessie voice shouted from the bathroom
"Well maybe this is pay back for you laughing at me yesterday" she stated
"This is a bit extreme" Jessie huffed
"Ok, what is going on?" Dean demanded feed up of being out of the loop, Charley was trying to contain a smile again
"Jess had a bit of a problem finding something to wear" Both brothers looked at Charley confused "You'll see...to be honest I think it'll explain its self better if you do"
They waited outside the bathroom door impatiently, hearing muffled cruses and shuffling, "Charley!...it's fucken backless"
Charley burst out laughing again moving away from the door hoping Jess wouldn't hear her, "I don't want to come out..."
"Jessie what the hell is going on?" Dean fumed, he heard her groan on the other side of the door
"I swear anyone laughs in my face about this and I'll be swinging digs" the door clicked open and Sam and Dean's jaws hit the floor.
Review? :-)
