"Tell me again," Sam began as he and Dean climbed out of the car in front of the academy, "Why we decided to pick these two up, in the middle of a kickboxing class." He looked to Dean. "You know, surrounded by a bunch of kickboxers." Dean sighed, shoving his keys back into his pocket.

"We don't have much time, okay" he admitted, trying to excuse the bad timing.

"What belt did you say they were?" Sam asked, the building getting closer with every stride. Dean was reluctant to answer, not wanting to put his brother off.

"Black belt, 3rd Dan" he muttered in response. Sam's eyed widened, but he said nothing. He had no words. Dean reached the door first, a heavy glass panel with a cold metal handle, and dragged it open. It was very clean and neat inside and filled with that faint gym smell. The walls were lined with achievements and awards, Rauna and Ellie appearing an uncomfortable amount of times. In front of them was a larger curved counter with a woman sitting behind it, interested in something on the screen of her computer. Her bleach blonde hair was pulled up into a messy top knot and she wore a navy t-shirt advertising the academy. Her makeup was very slightly over done, a girl with a little too much spear time. She noticed them approaching and smiled warmly.

"Hi" Dean smiled, flashing a row of white teeth, "I was hoping you could help me." The girl quickly finished off what she was doing previously before giving him her full attention, by leaning forward and resting her elbows on the counter.

"Certainly, how can I help?" she replied.

"I'm looking for Rauna and Ellie, they're in the nine 'o' clock class" he said. She searched for them on the computer in front of her and beamed when she had found the relevant information.

"Ah yes, Rauna Lakewood and Ellie Cameira. Are you the parents?" She question, standing up. She walked over to the door next to the desk and gestured for them to follow.

"Er… no, I'm Rauna's uncle and this is my nephew" Dean gestured to Sam, who smiled when she looked. "We're good friends with the Cameira's, and something's come up at home unfortunately and we need the girls" he continued. She smiled sympathetically, catching his drift, despite its lack of truth. She led them up a twisting flight of stairs and down a navy carpeted corridor, before stopping by large double doors. They could hear the loud activity from outside. Sam and Dean watched as she entered the cavernous room and made her way over to the Sensei. She spoke quietly with him and seconds later he beckoned the girls over and then they were following the woman back to the door. Rauna squinted her eyes suspiciously, not recognising either of them. She was about to open her mouth, but spotted the desert eagle that Dean's gaze had flicked to suggestively. His eyes then flicked to the woman who had led them out. Rauna was smart enough to understand her fate if she didn't co-operate.

"Uncle, what's going on?" she said with fake concern, playing along. Dean was impressed with her initiative, but didn't suspect she'd keep it up after they left the building.

"I'll tell you in the car, come on girls" he said sounding weary, all part of the act. Rauna gently bushed a finger against the side of Ellie's hand. They had been friends, quite literally, forever and had developed a bond which meant brushing her hand was like saying 'Follow them. Just trust me, I don't like this either, but we'll figure something out.' They followed the two strange men down the stairs, out into the lobby. The woman sat back down behind her desk and waved them off.

"Bye Becky" Ellie called back.

"Bye" Rauna added. They stepped out into the warm, morning air. The block of buildings, including the academy, backed onto the forest. Rauna hooked her ring finger round Ellie's middle one. The tiny gesture pulled her to the left, undetectable of course. Within in a few strides, they were out sight from anyone inside. "Run" Rauna whispered under her breath. Both girls burst into a sprint and crashed into the forest to their left. Dean and Sam turned on their heels, heading after the girls.

"Damn it" Dean cried, getting frustrated with this routine. After several minutes of running, the girls burst out into a clearing. The men were so close behind, they'd run out of time.

"Looks like we're going down fighting" Ellie said. Rauna nodded briefly before both prepared themselves. Sam advanced on Ellie, as she was closer, and Dean was faced with Rauna.

"Listen, we're trying to help you" Dean begged.

"Like hell you are" she retorted, "You threatened to shoot someone" she cried angrily. Dean had forgotten about that and, although he would have never done it, he was regretting implying so. He sighed, realising she wouldn't listen. He didn't know how close the demons were, and he'd just have to explain back at the safe house. Dean took a step forwards, but his head was suddenly whipped round. It took him a second to realise she'd round housed him, catching his jaw. That's what you get when you fight a bloody 3rd Dan, he thought to himself. On the other side of the clearing, Ellie was fending Sam off. She threw neat punches so quick he was unable to dodge them. Luckily, she was fifteen and he was not. He wouldn't get as tired as easily and her punches didn't hurt as much as a fully grown, male demon. Though, she fought will an impressive amount of skill and force. She swooped low to the ground, swinging her leg in an arc and taking Sam's feet out from underneath him. He fell hard to the floor. She was suddenly on top of him, throwing consistent punches to one cheek then the other. Sam grabbed her by the waist and threw her to the side. Before she had a chance to react, he had her wrists pinned to the floor, either side of her head. No matter how hard she pulled against his grip, he would not budge. His pride was reclaimed and he could now look over to where his brother struggled to contain Rauna. Both were tired, both in a lot of pain, but neither giving up. Rauna uppercut him as hard as she could in the stomach and he double over in pain, but before she could remove her hand, he had caught it. He really didn't want to do what he was about to do next, but he had to remind himself that whoever wanted her would do a lot worse. He forced her arm up and spun it awkwardly. He winced as he felt it crack and she screamed out. Once he had let go, she fell back clutching her arm. No tears fell and no screams followed. Her years had made her tough.

"I'm sorry" Dean said, truly meaning it, "but you have to come with us. We can keep you safe" he pleaded.

"From what?" she growled through gritted teeth.

"It's a long story. We don't have much time" he said desperately. She looked to where Sam had Ellie pinned and the back to Dean. Possible solutions spinning around in her head. But what if they were right? If they're were lying we'd escape, I guess, she thought. Finally, she let out a frustrated, defeated sigh.

"Damn it, fine" she let out. Dean was so relieved.

"Thank you, let's go." He helped her up and Sam pulled Ellie to her feet. They hurried to the car and Dean helped Rauna in, as her right arm was completely useless. Sam reached over to do up Ellie's seat belt as Dean did the same for Rauna.

"Um, I know how to put a seat belt on" Ellie scowled, disliking that face she was being treated like a five year old.

"Not this one" Sam replied, making her look down to where he his hands had just fastened something. It was then she, and Rauna, noticed that the seat belts had buckle guards, meaning they weren't going anywhere. After making sure the doors were locked, Dean slid into the driver's seat.

"Hey, what is this?" Rauna said unhappily, tugging at the belt.

"Please, just try to understand" Sam said from the passenger seat. "We're not here to hurt you. I know this doesn't look good, but there are bad people looking for you. We're trying to protect you, and looking at your records you know what I mean" he explained, regarding their travel patterns that looked very similar to someone on the run. Rauna let her head fall back and let out a tired sigh. He was right. Dean looked at his brother, unnoticeably of cause, and was impressed. Suddenly, the radio switched on, Dancing in the dark by Rihanna began playing. Sam reached forwards to turn it off, but it refused to stop. He thumbed the button several times, still nothing happened. Then it suddenly occurred to him. He turned in his seat. "Who's doing that?" he demanded. Ellie pointed to Rauna, evading all blame. Her face was quite straight, but Sam swore he saw a hint of a grin lingering on her lips. "Come on, turn it off" he said, trying several more times to switch it off himself. He was getting increasingly annoyed.

"Come on dude, just let her do it" Dean calmed his brother. He didn't particular enjoy the music either, but he had just broken her arm and kidnapped her for all intents and purposes, so he owed he this.
