Asaella - Thank you for your lovely review. Here's another chapter for you, sorry it's so short hope you enjoy it anyway
Sammy sat in the front seat of the Impala, with Dean driving and me looking out the window as usual. He'd fallen asleep as we drove, but he jerked awake suddenly. I knew Sam was struggling to cope after he returned home not long ago to find Jess on the ceiling, the way Dad told us that Mom had died - with her stomach slit open and the room set on fire. It was the reason Sammy was now hunting with Dean and me, but I felt sorry for my brother. He'd truly loved Jess and now she was gone. Even Dean noticed that Sammy wasn't feeling too good, though he didn't speak for a moment. When he finally did, it was to ask a stupid question.
"You ok?" Dean asked our brother. I resisted the urge to smack the back of my brother's head - he was driving after all - and instead rolled my eyes at him.
"I'm fine." Sammy replied.
"You can't lie to us, Sam. We know your not fine." I chastised him.
"Another nightmare?" Dean began basically interrogating Sam. Sammy didn't reply, just cleared his throat which Dean and I both took as a yes. "Wanna drive for a bit?" Sam and I both looked at him like he was possessed or something. As Sam said:
"Dean, your whole life you've never asked me that."
"He has a point, Dean. You never let anyone drive your 'baby' not even me." I playfully glared at him. He just ignored me and continued speaking to Sammy.
Once we arrived at our destination, Blackwater Ridge, we headed to the Ranger Station to check out the area. The area was remote, which made me wonder why Dad had been here - unless there had been a monster here but the local ranger didn't mention anything having happened the last few weeks.
"Dude, check out the size of this frigging bear!" Dean interrupted Sammy, who'd been explaining to us about the area, just to show us a picture of a man with a dead bear. He was right the bear was huge…
"Priorities, Dean." I scolded. That's when Sam told us there were lots of grizzly bears in the area - this sounded like a delightful place to hunt for Dad.
"You three aren't planning to go out near Blackwater Ridge by any chance?" one of the rangers asked. I quickly shook my head.
"No, sir! My brothers and I are just from UC Boulder." I quickly made up a cover story, which Dean and Sam picked up on.
" Environmental-study majors. Just working on a paper." Sam added on. Dean made a stupid comment, making me hide a grin.
"Bull." the ranger responded to us. "You're friends with that Haley girl, right?"
"Yeah, that's right!" I nodded.
"Yes we are, Ranger Wilkinson." Dean said at the same time. I laughed and muttered 'Jinx' to my brother who rolled his eyes at me.
According to the ranger, this girl Haley's brother was in Blackwater Ridge but wasn't meant to return until the 24th of the month. This made us curious - why would Haley report him missing if he's not meant to be back for four days? Dean and I wanted to find out more about this 'missing boy' but Sam was only interested in going to Blackwater Ridge and finding Dad, which shocked me considering the history between my dad and my brother.
"Why even talk to this girl?" Sammy asked us as we moved to get into the Impala.
"To find out more about the boy who may have gone AWOL. Duh." I rolled my eyes at my youngest brother and got into the backseat ignoring the argument between my brothers.
We learnt from Haley that her elder brother, Tommy, usually sent videos or phone calls to let her know he was safe but she'd heard nothing recently and so she was worried. We were currently hiking through the forest towards Blackwater Ridge. Roy, a guy Haley had paid to lead her safely to her brother, was walking in the lead with Dean close behind. Next were Haley and Ben, then finally Sammy and me. I'd refused to let my youngest brother be at the very back - I was sure something might jump out at us from behind and I wasn't losing Sammy.
The next thing I knew, the group had stopped because Roy had grabbed hold of Dean by the shirt. I was about to move over to the man, make him get his hand off my brother, when he picked up a stick and set off a bear trap Dean would have stepped on. I realised how close he'd come to getting hurt and scowled at him.
"Dean, watch where your going!" I scolded him. He just ignored me, but Roy glanced my way before looking back at Dean.
"You should watch where your stepping, ranger." Roy sounded sarcastic, like he knew we weren't actually rangers. Which was obvious, since we didn't bring the supplies a ranger would bring and Dean had almost been badly hurt. Not long later, Haley and Dean had stopped. Sammy and I paused nearby, until Dean nodded at us to continue. We began walking again, though I kept glancing at Dean and Haley.
We moved deeper into the forest, until we finally arrived at Blackwater Ridge. There was no sign of Tommy Collins.
"What coordinates are we at?" Sammy asked Roy, who told him. Me and my brothers noticed there was no sounds at all here - not even insects like crickets. That worried us, it meant something was here although whether it was supernatural or not we didn't know.
A/N: Hi guys, so I was thinking for "Dead in the Water" (the episode after this one) I may do Dean's POV for most, maybe all, of the episode. Just a head's up.
