Emma POV

We had been traveling for a couple days. Sam had indeed stopped at a Walmart and I went in and got some new clothes and bras, underwear. All the necessities. We hadn't figured out anything more about how I ended up in their world, but for the most part, it seemed like I was there to stay.

The boys had told me that they didn't mind me sticking around. Sam had told me that I was pretty cool to talk to, and Dean and I get along very well. I felt like Sam was the big brother I always wanted. Dean I wasn't sure how I felt yet.

We had talked a little bit about what I remember from the "show" I had watched. But the last concrete thing I remembered was something about Bloody Mary. And because I am not sure how much time was in between episodes, I couldn't even give them time frames of when things happened. The TV show could have only been showing certain hunts. They could have been doing more things in between.

It was all very confusing and hurt our heads to try and think about. We had decided that if it was something I remembered, I would speak up.

We were now sat in a diner getting some lunch. Dean was looking at a newspaper checking out news articles and obituaries, trying to find a new case. I looked over and saw him circling an obituary and I leaned over to read the name. "SOPHIE CARLTON" was the name and it sparked a memory kind of. I could see a lake in my mind, but it was fuzzy.

I looked up to tell Dean and noticed he was watching the waitress approach. "Can I get you anything else sugar?" She asked, looking at Dean. He just grins around the pen he was chewing on and before he could say anything Sam sat down and just told her "Just the check please."

The waitress turned around and I looked back at Dean who was watching her walk away. Rolling my eyes at him, I heard Dean say "You know Sammy, we can have some fun every once in a while." He pointed the pen towards where the waitress had walked away, "That… That is fun."

One thing I did learn about Dean, he was a major flirt and loved the ladies. I mean we flirted back and forth too, but I didn't think it meant anything for him really. But the more I witness the flirting with other girls, the more I noticed it bothered me slightly. I couldn't figure out why though.

Sam just gave Dean a look and I nudged him out of his gazing. He turned and looked at me and I pointed towards the paper. As if realizing he had something to tell us, "Here take a look at this. I think I got us a case. Sophie Carlton, eighteen, walks into the lake, doesn't walk out. Authorities never found the body."

I spoke up and said, 'let me guess. It's at Lake Manitoc, in Wisconsin." Dean turned his head to me and Sam looked up at me, "Was this one of the episodes that you saw?" Sam asked. I nodded my head, "Yeah I think so. When Dean said the name, it sparked a memory. I don't remember the exact details of it though. I bet once we get there, things will look familiar then I can help more." I got up assuming we would get ready to leave, "Give me a few minutes, I gotta run to the bathroom. Ill meet you out at the car." They both nodded at me and Dean continued talking about the case as they got up to leave.

I walked back out to the car and noticed the brothers were looking at each other with frowns on their faces. "Everything okay boys?" I asked, looking between them.

"Yeah, Emma, we are good. Just some venting." Dean said. He turned and look to me, "Lets get going!" I looked over at Sam and he just rolled his eyes and got into the Impala. I looked back at Dean and he had a small smile on his face and just motioned towards the car. I decided to leave it alone and got in.

Bill Carltons house – Emma POV

Sam briefed us on the case as we made our way to Lake Manitoc. They decided to check out the Carlton's place to see if they could find out if there was anything strange going on with the Lake. Since I didn't have the fancy ID's they do, I opted to stay back at the car while they went to talk to the family.

They were getting ready to walk up to the house when I coughed at them to get their attention. Dean turned and looked at me, and I nodded my head out towards the dock. Where Bill was sitting. He nodded at me, then they continued up to the house.

I leaned against the car and just watched Bill. He looked like he was going back and forth between praying and just gazing out at the lake.

I was trying to remember what happened on this episode, and I'm pretty sure it's the lake that is causing it. Someone died in it, but I cant remember who.

"Ugh, why didn't I pay more attention while I was watching!" I muttered to myself. I tended to do things around the house when I had on the tv.

"Alright," I snapped my gaze back to the boys, " So, Sophie was a varsity swimmer. She grew up on this lake, and she was just dragged down." Sam said as they both walked up to me. "Yeah, Im pretty sure it's the lake itself that is haunted." I said. Sam asked, "So its not a monster or anything like Nessie?" I laughed and shook my head. "No its not Nessie. This is a ghost case, but I cant remember the specifics yet. But someone died in it. I bet if you go and talk to the other people that you would normally if I wasn't here, then I will remember something."

"Okay, then lets go chat with the sheriff office, because that's what we would do next anyway." Dean said. We all piled into the car and took off into town.

Police Station – Emma POV

I stood out by the car again, when I noticed a woman walk in with a kid. I had a sudden flashback and leaned over grabbing my head. I felt like I had an intense migraine all of a sudden, I could see the lady, her sons scared face, and then I saw Dean drawing in the park with the little boy. I also saw the little boy reaching down into the water, and the lady in a bathtub that had black looking water in it.

I came to from the running images and saw Dean leaning down in front of me. He had one hand on the side of my face, and the other was on my shoulder, "Hey,Emma. Can you hear me? you okay? What happened?" He asked me softly.

Standing back up straight, I shook my head a little bit. I was about to tell him when I noticed the woman from a moment ago was stood off to the side next to Sam, both looking at me. I looked back at Dean and quietly said, "I'll tell you later." He just looked at me for a moment, and I gave him a look to tell him to drop it. He nodded his head and then turned back towards the lady again, though this time he slipped an arm around my waist to help me stand. Feeling a warmth run through me where his arm was around me.

The lady walked ahead of us with Sam, and Dean guided me to follow them, still with his arm looped around my waist. I leaned into him, taking in the warmth. I felt him tighten his arm around me. It was weird, we haven't been really touchy feely before, so I was curious what changed all of a sudden. I mean, I have only been with them a few days.

The lady suddenly stopped and turned to look at us, "There it is. Like I said, two blocks." She then turned to look at me, "And they are probably not going to introduce us," the lady said laughing, she stepped towards me, "My name is Andrea." I laughed and stepped away from Dean, "Hi, my name is Emma." We both shook hands. Andrea turned to walk away and called over her shoulder, "Enjoy your stay!"

I laughed at her and turned back towards the brothers. "So, what did you find out?" "Nope, first you are going to tell us what almost put you to your knees over there." Dean said.

"Im going to go get us room, be right back." Sam told us.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Dean asked me again. I looked at him and nodded, "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks for helping me." I smiled softly at him. We just gazed at each other for a moment, until Sam came back over. "Got the key, lets go."

Motel Room – Emma pov

I was sitting on the bed and Dean came and sat next to me. Sam was sat at the table and pulled a chair over closer to me.

"Alright, lets hear what you saw. Are you sure you are okay?" Sam asked. I let out a deep breath and recalled what I had seen. "So, I'm not sure exactly if these things were in order, but I saw Andrea and a little boy." Dean spoke up and said, "Probably her son Lucas. We met him earlier."

"I also saw the same little boy with a terrified face, he was opening up a door frantically. I saw Andrea in a bathtub and it was filled with black murky water. And I also saw Lucas on a dock, reaching down into water. And then that's when I came to." I looked between the boys, "It's safe to say that the lake is the cause. Now we just have to figure out the why so we can figure out how to stop it." Dean said.

"Oh, is that all." I said sarcastically. I gave Dean a smirk letting him know I was joking. "Oh ha ha very funny!" He bumped my shoulder and got up to grab a beer. He looked at me motioning to the beer asking if I wanted one and I nodded yeah. He tossed one to me from across the room and I reached out and grabbed it with one hand. I popped the cap off with my ring and took a nice long drink in the next. I had my eyes closed and savored the cold beer. "Damn that tastes good." I said letting out almost a quiet moan.

Opening my eyes I glanced at the brothers and they were both just staring at me.
"What?" Looking at Sam he immediately glanced back at the laptop. Looking to Dean, he was still just staring at me. I raised an eyebrow at him which seemed to bring him back to the present and he shook his head as if trying to clear away his mind. Smirking at him, I continued drinking my beer.

"There have been three drowning victims this year." Sam started. I asked, "Any before that?" Dean had come over and came and sat next to me again so we could listen to and talk things out with Sam.

"Uh yeah, There have been drownings spread out over the last thirty-five years." Sam said.

"Where any of the bodies recovered?" I asked. Sam looked to me and shook his head no.

Dean spoke from beside me, "So we know that its spirit related thanks to alternate universe here, but now we need to figure out the specifics." I just rolled my eyes at the name.

"Well, what ever it is, no one wants to talk about it." Sam said. Dean got up to stand behind Sam to look at the screen while he was scrolling. I spoke up after after a few minutes, "We need to go back and talk to Andrea. Since I saw her and her son a few times in the memories of watching the show, its related to her somehow." I said.

"What was her last name? Barr right?" Dean said. We both nodded in agreement to him. He leaned down to point at the screen. I got up to stand next to him, looking over Sams shoulder. Dean casually put a hand on my back while he was leaning down to read the article. My body heated up at the touch again, but he was just balancing himself while leaning over…. Right?…. I thought to myself. Sam had clicked on the link that Dean had pointed to.

"LOCAL MAN IN TRAGIC ACCIDENT"

"Oh, look at this picture guys. That's Lucas. Lucas's father drowned right in front of the kid. And it was two hours before he was rescued." Dean said with a sad tone. "Damn, no wonder the kid is so quiet and freaked. Watching one of your parents die isn't something you get over." Dean said. I stood up and leaned into Dean to show some silent comfort. He gripped my waist for a moment before walking away as well.

"Lets head out tomorrow and see if we can find Andrea." Dean instructed. "She mentioned something about the park while she was in the sheriffs office today."

With that, it was late, so we turned in. I took the couch like I had been, since I was the shorter one out of the two. Dean tried to get me to sleep on the bed, but I wouldn't budge.

Park – Emma POV

We arrived at the park, stepping out of the impala, I started glancing around looking for Andrea. "Hey, there she is over on the bench." I said, motioning across the park.

We started making our way over, when Dean walked up close to me and placed a hand lightly on my back again to guide me. I looked up at him, and he looked down at me. Giving me a wink. I looked back ahead with a small blush. What the heck is wrong with me, I don't blush. From what I remember my friends telling me about "Dean", he was a ladies man, hot, and didn't show feelings. Well he is definitely hot, but since the waitress, he hasn't really flirted with anyone else.

"Hey, can we join you?" I heard Sam ask as we got closer to Andrea. "I guess, I'm here with my son." She motioned to the boy a little ways away, drawing. "Mind if I go say Hi?" Dean asked. She shook her head no that she didn't mind. I thought he was going to go over there by himself, but he reached out and grabbed my hand, pulling me with him.

"Hey Lucas. How's it going?" Dean asked as he kneeled down next to the boy. I kneeled down too and said softly, "Hello Lucas, my name is Emma. Im a friend of Deans." He didn't even show that he heard us, other than a slight pause in coloring.

Dean reached out to one of the toy soldiers, "OH I used to love these. Setting up wars on the floor." Trying to get a reaction out of Lucas. I reached out to a few of the drawings, "You are a pretty good artist Lucas." I said, looking through his drawings. "Yeah, chicks dig artists." I looked up at Dean and he just smirked at me. I rolled my eyes giving him a smirk back.

"Mind if we sit and draw with you?" Dean asked. He picked up a blank piece of paper and a crayon and started drawing. I noticed a theme going on with the pictures that Lucas was drawing. It was a house, but in different variations.

"Listen, I'm thinking you can hear me, and you just don't want to talk just yet. I don't know what happened exactly with your dad, but I know how you feel. I saw something I couldn't explain when I was your age." I looked up at Dean as he was talking. "I want you to know that I will listen to you, even if you don't think anyone will. I will. We will." Dean corrected, looking over at me with a small smile.

I nodded in agreement, "Yeah Lucas, I've seen some crazy things, I will listen to you." We paused to see if he would say anything. Nothing.

"Well, here is my drawing. You are definitely better than I am Lucas. But, here is my family. My mom, My dad, My geek brother, Me and….. Emma." He said after a pause. I snapped my gaze up to him. He was already looking at me. I turned away and had little tears in my eyes. That was so sweet. Does that mean he thinks of me as family? As a sister? A friend? I had a pain in my chest at the thought of him just thinking of me as a sister.

Dean stood up, he reached out to me to help me stand up. Once I got up I let go of his hand to brush off the dirt from my jeans. We walked back over to Andrea.

Dean and Sam were talking with Andrea, I had turned back to look and watch Lucas. He suddenly got up and walked towards us with a drawing in his hand.

"Hi sweetie." Andrea said, noticing his son was standing in-front of Dean and I. Lucas reaches out and just hands me a drawing. Looking at it, I noticed it was the house again. I looked back at Lucas and kneeled down. I placed my hand lightly on his arm, "Thank you Lucas." With that, he turned and went back to his drawings.

I turned back to the boys and showed them the drawing, "It's the Carlton house." Sam said.

Emma POV – Hotel Room

I was sitting at the table looking at the laptop, searching through the history of drownings that happened. Seeing if something could jump out at me to help us figure out who is killing these people.

Dean was sitting on the bed flipping through channels. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Dean would glance over at me and just stare for a few, then would shake his head, going back to watching the tv. I wasn't sure what as going on inside his head, but I figured I would leave him to his thoughts. Sam had ran out to get us some food, so we were just waiting.

"So, what did you do back in your world Emma." I turned to look at him. "How long you been holding that question in huh?" I laughed at him turning to prop my feet up on the chair next to me. He just laughed at me. "You gonna answer?" He asked again.

I was thinking about how much to actually share. Yes they saved me, and kept me with them, but I wasn't sure how long this would last. In my head, I didn't want to go attached, just for me to wake up one day and be back to my world, or find out it was all a dream. Just the couple of days we have spent together I've felt like I really belong here. 'So much for not getting attached.' I thought to myself. Figured I could divulge a little bit.

Taking a deep breath, "Well, I didn't really do anything grand, I was a bartender in a college town." I said with a chuckle. "Damn, I bet that could get interesting." Dean said. He slid up to the edge of the bed so he was sitting closer to me. "What else did you do?" He asked. "What do you mean? My life was kind of boring."

"Yeah, you see, I don't believe that. You have a hardness to you that I have been trying to figure out. That kick you did back at the wendigo, shooting it without a second thought." I looked down at my feet.

"You have a past." He said quietly. I nodded in agreement. "Yeah.. I do. But I'm not quite ready to share that yet. Just know, that I can take care of my own ass, and yours." I said with a smirk at him. I was terrified to let him know more the difficult parts of my past, that I hadn't fully escaped from.

"Okay… I'll give you that. And yes, I am sure you can, just know that you have us now. We help each other." He said giving me a look. "Im not used to having people for backup. It's been a long time since I had anyone to rely on. I was just me. Yeah I had people around, but I could never fully let myself trust them." I said while picking at my finger nails.

Suddenly there was a hand laying on top of mine, my eyes shot up to his in question. "Even if its temporary, you have us. WE wont let anything happen to you." I could just gaze at him.

"Thank you…." We kept eye contact for a little bit longer then jumped apart when we heard the door rattle. I went back to looking at the computer, and Dean turned back to look at the TV.

"Guys! Check this out." Sam said urgently. "I just drove past the Carlton house, there was an ambulance there. Will Carlton is dead."

"What? How?" Dean asked as he stood up. I kept looking at the computer, "He drowned." I answered. They both looked at me, "Yeah, how'd you know that?" Sam asked. "It's the lake. It's anything water related."

"Well how did he drown?" Dean asked looking between us. "Ummmm… in the sink." Sam answered. "In the sink? Like, did someone hold him down?" Dean asked, looking confused.

"It's the spirit that's haunting the lake. I bet you he was held down alright, but by nothing human." I said.

"We need to get to the lake, see if we can find out any more clues." I suggested. I grabbed my jacket and we hustled out the door.

EMMA POV – driving to Carlton house

We were on our way to the Carlton house when I felt a migraine coming on again. I let out a loud gasp and a pained groan. I grabbed my head and leaned forward onto the seat in-front of me.

"Emma!" Sam and Dean both said. "Emma, what's wrong?" I heard Sam ask. He turned around and I felt fingers running over my head, attempting to help ease the pain. I couldn't speak yet, I just saw a man out in a small boat and it practically exploded, and the man was pulled under. Then nothing. I realized it was Mr. Carlton.

I came too, "Dean! Get to the Carlton house now!" I said urgently. Without even questioning me, I heard the impala engine rev, indicating Dean pressing on the gas harder. "You sure you are okay?" Sam asked me again. I nodded my head yes. I wondered briefly how long I would be getting these visions. If it would still happen once we reached past the episode I saw.

Dean squealed the tires to a stop and before he could cut the engine, I was out and running towards the lake. "Emma! Damn it! Wait!" I heard Dean yell. I was sprinting towards the Lake.

"Bill!" I yelled. I could see him just stepping into the boat. "Emma! Wait!" I could hear Sam yell.

I ignored them and kept running as fast as I could to get to Bill. He was next to the dock still, had just pulled away. I ran and leaped, landing into the small boat that was about 7-8 feet away from the dock by the time I got there. "What the hell? What are you doing?" Bill yelled at me.

"Bill, you cant go out there. You will die!" I told him urgently. Bill looked at me startled, but he was shaking his head at me. I could see tear streaks on his face and his red eyes. "Emma! What the fuck are you doing?" I heard Dean yell at me from the dock. I looked behind me and noticed we were at least 100 yards away from the dock now. I turned back to Bill, "Im sorry. I cant. I've lost everyone. He…. He wants revenge." He said it a almost void voice. "Who does?" He just shook his head.

"Come on, just turn back towards the dock Bill. Here, I can help." I said, and leaned forward to see if I could get the handle of trolling motor away from him. "No!" He screamed at me, and suddenly I was flying through the air.

"EMMA!" I could hear both brothers shout. I hit the water and went under in a daze for a split second. I shook my head and looked around under water to see if I could see Bill. I was down kind of deep and I was not prepared for what I saw. I saw Bill being dragged down by a small boy. He looked back at me and I knew instantly that he was the cause of this. I screamed under the water and swam to the surface as fast as I could. I coughed as I was floating there for moment, getting my bearings straight.

"Emma! Damn it! Are you alright?" I heard Dean yell. I turned and looked at him and started swimming towards the dock as fast as I could. I reached them and Dean and Sam were already leaning over grabbing my arms and hoisting me out. Dean wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my neck. I took in a shuddering breath and wrapped my arms around him, "Im good. Im good. Im alright Dean." I was then pulled from his arms, and Sam was hugging me. He placed his head on top of mine, "Okay, no more heart attacks today please." He laughed. He then held me back from his arms, "You sure you are good?" He asked me. I nodded at him, still trying to catch my breath.

He dropped his arms and I was pulled back into Deans arms. I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly trying to steal his warmth, and he had one arm around my back, and the other hand was on the back of my head. "Don't fucking scare me like that!" He said in a growl. "sorry, I was just trying to save him." I sighed out.

He then pulled away from me, keeping his hands on my shoulders, "By putting yourself in danger? What if you had been dragged down too? I thought you were gone when I didn't see you come back up!" He looked like he was terrified. I was quiet, just looking into his eyes. "Im sorry, I am. But I am not going to apologize for trying to save a innocent. That's what I saw in my "vision" memory thing, I saw the boat being destroyed and Bill being dragged down."

Dean shook his head at me. "Come on, lets get back to the hotel and get warm." I was shivering a bit and Dean shrugged out of his jacket and placed it around my shoulders. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and led me back to the impala. I looked over at Dean, "Thanks." I told him.

Getting into the car, Sam turned around to look at me, "I do have to say Emma, you are damn fast! And that jump. What the hell did you do in your old life?" He asked laughing. "Apparently she was a bartender." Dean answered for me with a sarcastic joking tone.

"There is no way you were just a bartender Emma. Sorry, but I don't by that." Sam said looking back at me with a raised brow and smirk of his own.

"Im sorry, but I'm not willing to share my past just yet. But, as I told Dean, I can take care of myself. And for the record, yes I was a bartender. That's just not all I did." I said. Sam must have seen something in my face and just nodded at me. "Well, glad you are okay. And that was still pretty badass." I smiled and blushed a little.

"So, what should we do now? Bill and Will are gone now." I asked. Dean pulled out the picture that Lucas had given me. "Lucas handed you this. And then Bill goes down. Maybe we should go see the kid again?"

Andrea's house-DEAN POV

We were headed to Andrea's house. It was quiet on the way there. I was lost in thought about Emma. I have no idea what to think of this girl. She has been with us for only a few days, but its felt complete with her here. I cant imagine what she must be going through, but she has just fallen into our routine with us, literally.

She is smart, witty, sarcastic and so damn beautiful. She is hiding things, because there is no way that a girl like her with the moves she has is just a bartender. She hasn't batted an eye at all the weapons, I think I actually saw her drooling over the knives we have.

The speed at which she sprinted and the no hesitation that she had at leaping into that boat. That's 10 times more agile than either Sam or I combined. No, she has some past, and ill be damned if I didn't want to know. But, I promised I would give her time. I mean, she could just disappear one day. She is playing it safe. The thought of her disappearing though caused a cold feeling to squeeze on my heart. I didn't want her to leave, but I couldn't figure out why yet.

I do know she scared the freaking shit out of me, leaping into that boat. Watching her get thrown into the air. I think that was the longest minute of my life waiting for her to surface. I had almost jumped in after her, but Sam had held me back. He had said that they were too far out there for me to do anything in time. I hated it, but he was right. So all I could do was just watch and wait.

'Why did you do that? Why did you risk your life like that for someone you didn't know?' I wanted to ask her. But, isn't that what we do every day? Which brought me to, 'why help two guys she just met?' I just cant understand that. But when me and her had been talking and she said that it had been a long time since she could rely on anyone, I decided then that as long as she was here in our world, that i would protect her.

We pulled up to Andrea's house, and we all three walked up to the front door. I reached forward to knock. Emma was stood back form us a little.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Andrea asked as she answered the door. She had a confused look on her face. Dean showed her the drawing that Lucas had given me, "Hey Andrea, this is going to sound weird, but can we talk to him again?" He asked quietly. "Im sorry, but I don't know if that's a good idea." Emma stepped up then, "Andrea, he drew the Carlton's house, and weird things happened. I know this is going to sound insane, but we just want to talk to him again. See if he can help us figure out what is happening. Please…" She asked Andrea.

Andrea just looked at Emma for a few moments, then let out a sigh and opened the door wider. She just nodded slowly, "Okay… but please don't push him."

"We wont, thank you Andrea." I said. "Hey guys, I'm gonna wait out here. Lucas seems to be more into listening to you guys." Sam said. Agreeing with him, I reached out and placed a hand on Emma's back and guided her in with me.

"He wont say anything, what's this going to help?" Andrea asked as we ascended the stairs. "I don't think he is going to need to say anything, he just needs to draw." Emma answered.

Walking to Lucas's room, "Hey Lucas honey, Emma and Dean are here to draw with you again. Is that okay?" Andrea asked. He didn't respond to her and just looked at us. We both walked in and sat next to Lucas.

"Hey Lucas, remember me?" Emma asked softly. "I really liked your picture you gave me."

"Yeah, and listen bud, we need your help again. Could you help us out again?" I asked. Emma started looking through the drawings that were already there. She showed me that he was drawing a red bike over and over again.

"I know you're scared. It's okay. I understand. I….I saw some real bad stuff happen when I was young too. And I was terrified. But, my mom, I know she would have wanted me to be brave. I think about it every day, and I know that your dad would want you to be brave too." Emma said. I made a mental note to ask about that in the future. What have you been through Emma. What did you see? How much like us was she?

Lucas suddenly drops the crayon he was using and handed me the picture he was drawing on. It was a white church next to a yellow house and red bicycle in front of the wooden fence. I look back up to Lucas, "Thank you."

I got up and went to help Emma up off the floor when Lucas handed her a picture as well. I looked over her shoulder, it was a black and blue swirl of darkness. Lucas actually looked at Emma and had a scared look on his face, eyes wide with fear.

"Thank you Lucas…" She said softly. I helped Emma stand and led her out.

In the Impala – Emma POV

I was just sitting in the back seat staring at the picture that Lucas handed me. I couldn't determine what the picture meant for sure, but my thought was that it was what drowning would look like.

"Guys, I don't think the thing is done with this town yet, not by a long shot." I spoke out. "Yeah, me either." Sam agreed. I looked over the seat and saw Sam holding the picture that Lucas had given to Dean.

"See this church? I bet there is less than a thousand of these around here. Less than 10 in the 10 mile radius of here."

"Didn't we pass one like that on the way to Andrea's?" I asked. Dean turned and looked at me, "You're right!" He smiled and hit the gas.

Emma pov

We pulled up in-front of the white church that was like the one at the picture. The yellow house sat next to it. "Only thing missing is the red bike." Sam muttered.

Dean walked over to the older lady standing on the porch, "Sorry to bother you ma'am, may we ask you a few questions?"

Sitting at the dining table of the older lady-Emma pov

"Is there a little boy that lives here by chance? By chance that rides a red bicycle." The older lady shook her head sadly, "Not for a long time. Peter has been gone for 35 years." I thought in my head, 35 years. That's how long the unsolved drownings have been happening.

Mrs Sweeney got up and grabbed a picture off the table near us. She handed it to Dean, I was still standing and came over and stood over him to look at the picture too. "That's peter, and Billy. Peter was supposed to ride his bike home form school, but he never got home. No one knew what happened. He just disappeared. No body was ever recovered. And neither was his bike."

Back in the Impala – EMMA POV

"Did you hear her? 35 years." I said. "Yeah, that's the same time the unexplained drownings started happening. And the other boy in the picture was Bill Carlton, and now everyone in his family is dead."

"So, if Bill killed Peter then its peters spirit causing this, but it got its revenge now right? Shouldn't it be over?" Dean asked.

"I don't know, I think we are missing something still. Lucas was still really freaked." I answered. "And some of the things I saw have not happened yet. There is still more that we haven't discovered. There are also some things of my visions that havent happened yet remember."

Out of no where there was a knock on the window. "Ahhh!" I screamed out and slid across the backseat. The boys at the same time both yelled curse words.

"Hello boys and lady. Mind following me to the station?" It was sheriff Jake. "Is there a problem?" Dean asked. "Just have some questions for you, now, I'll escort you to the station." Then he walked back to his cruiser.

"Well, guess we are going to the station." Dean muttered.

Police Station – Emma POV

We walked into the station and I noticed Lucas sitting in a chair off to the side, Andrea was standing next to Jakes desk.

"Sam, Dean, Emma…" Andrea greeted, "Didn't expect you guys here." We just shrugged looking to Jake.

"Oh, on first name bases now are you. What are you two doing here Andrea?" Jake asked. "We brought you dinner dad."

"Im sorry sweetheart, I don't really have time right now." Jake said in a sigh. Andrea stepped forward more, "I heard about Bill Carlton. Is it true? What is going on with the lake?"

"Right now we don't know what the truth is, but you and Lucas need to go home." Jake motioned towards the door. Suddenly I had a kid sized object barrel into me. Looking down it was Lucas and he had a look of extreme fear on his face. I kneeled down and placed my hands on his shoulders, "Shhhh shhh, Hey Lucas what is it?" I asked quietly.

Andrea came over and pulled Lucas from me, "What is it baby?" She asked. "Come on, lets go home sweetie."

As he was walking away, I felt Dean come stand near me. All I could do was stare at Lucas who didn't take his eyes off me. Dean held a hand down in front of me, I grabbed it and he pulled me to standing.

"Did you see his face?" I asked looking at Dean. He looked at me with a nervous expression. We turn around at the sound of Jake throwing his jacket on his desk.

"Alright, just so I'm clear, you three saw something attack Bills boat. It took him down, who is a very good swimmer by the way, and never saw him again?" We all three said yes in agreement.

"And I am just supposed to believe this? Because I sonar-swept the entire lake. What you are describing is impossible. And I don't think you two are Wildlife service. Am I right?" Jake questioned again.

I looked to Sam and Dean and they had this surprised look on their faces. "Yeah, I checked you two out. Department has never heard of you two."

"Ummmm, we can explain that." Dean started to say. "That's enough. How about I don't arrest you two for impersonating government officials, and all three of you agree to leave town, right now. Because, if I really wanted to do something, I could arrest your girlfriend over there", which caused Dean to step in-front of me quickly and put a hand back on my arm, "because Bills neighbor happen to see her in the boat with him. But he did say that he saw the boat explode and SHE was the only one that came back up." I gulped hearing that.

"Alright alright, we are leaving. Lets go guys." Sam said. He turned to us and hurried us out.

Impala – Dean POV

We drove out of town a bit and we were at a light. It turned green, but I didn't move. Emma leaned forward from the back seat, "So, we are not really leaving right? We need to get to Andrea's right now. We have to check on Lucas."

"I was going to say that with Bill gone, I felt like the job would be over, but I think you are right Emma." Sam looked at me, "Lets go." I turned and headed towards Andreas and hit the gas. Lucas had looked like he was terrified and I had a feeling in my gut that something was going to happen.

Pulling up to Andrea's, we got out of the impala and practically ran to the door. I pressed the doorbell, and within seconds Lucas was opening the front door. He looked pale and terrified.

"Lucas, Lucas what's wrong?" He grabbed my hand and pulled me in and up the stairs. Emma was right behind, "Oh no.. Dean! The bathtub! I remember this! It's Andrea!" That made me run faster. I stepped past Lucas and bolted up the stairs. Looking to where the water was coming from I tried to open the door. It was locked. I looked and saw that Emma had a hold of Lucas and he was hugging her legs.

I looked back at the door and kicked it open. Sam was in the door in the next second, and we saw Andrea in the tub. Her arms were out flying around trying to get out, her head and rest of her body were under the water. Sam and I grabbed a arm and we started to pull her out. What ever had her it didn't want to let go. I wedged my foot against the tub and pulled with all my might and Sam reached in to wrap his arms around her when finally Andrea was pulled all the way out. We hit the floor. Sam stood up and grabbed a large towel and wrapped Andrea up. I was still holding on to her on the floor and she was crying and terrified.

I looked back at Emma and Lucas was wrapped up tight in her arms. She was hiding his face from seeing his mom like that. Looking back at the tub, I saw the black water draining from the tub, and there was nothing there.

Dawn breaking – Dean POV

We were all sitting in the living room. We had finally got Andrea under control. Sam asked her, "Can you tell me what you remember?" "Im going crazy is what I remember. I swear I could hear a voice saying, 'Come play with me.' Then suddenly I was pulled under and couldn't get my head above the water."

Emma was sitting next to her with her arm over Andrea's shoulder, trying to comfort her. "What is happening?" She asked looking up to us. "Trust us, you wouldn't believe us if we even tried to explain it. But what we do know is that its after your family." Sam answered.

I got up and started looking around the room and pulled out a family album that I saw sitting on the shelf. Looking through it I saw a picture that grabbed my attention. I walked over to the the group and sat the album down in front of everyone. "Do you know the kids in this picture?" I asked, directing my question to Andrea.

"Ummmm, no, Just my dad right here." Pointing at the kid that looked about 12 years old. Emma reached up and pointed at another picture, "And here is Peter with Jake."

"The connection wasn't just Bill Carlton, its Jake as well." Sam muttered. I stood back up looking around and noticed Lucas staring intently at the window. "Lucas? What's up buddy?" I asked moving closer. He suddenly goes to the door and started opening it. I looked back at Emma and Sam and motioned for them to come along. All of us followed Lucas out to an area that was surrounded by trees and Lucas just stopped was pointing at a spot.

Andrea came up and placed a hand on Lucas's shoulder, "what is it?" Lucas just looked back up at me and then at Emma. I looked to her and she mouthed to me, "The bike…" My eyes widened and nodded that I understood.

I looked to Andrea and Lucas, "You guys go back to the house and stay there okay? And stay away from anything that could have water in it. Emma, go and watch them." She nodded at me and started following them. Thinking quick, I grabbed her elbow to stop her, "Hey…" She looked at me in question, I reached into my jacket and handed her my pistol. She looked at it then back at me in question, "Don't look at me like that. Something tells me who know exactly how to use this." I smirked at her. "Now go and protect those two." She just looked at me and nodded back with a smile. "Remember Dean, there is still one piece of the vision I haven't seen yet, Lucas reaching into the water." I nodded my head that I remembered, but that was why I wanted her in the house watching them.

Turning to Sam, "Go get the shovels and lets see what's under here. I have a feeling its our missing red bike."

"Oh, you have a feeling? Or was that Emma that told you?" Sam said in a joking way, knowing that she seemed to be brains of the operation this time. I just laughed, "Yeah yeah…"

We had just pulled the red bike up out of the dirt when I heard a click of a gun behind me. Sam and I both froze, and I turned slowly to see Jake coming out of the woods with his gun pointed us. "Who are you guys?" He asked. "Jake drop the gun." Sam instructed with his hands raised in font of him.

"No! how did you know that was there?" He asked more forcefully and walked closer to us. I was too focused on Jake in-front of us that I was startled when I heard Emma from beside us , "Drop the gun Jake, Now!" I looked to see her, she had my gun pointed directly at Jake. I was impressed with how quick and silently she got to us, and the stance that she had going on, yeah she was no stranger with handling a gun.

Jake looked to her and saw that she had him in her sights and was not backing down. The glare she had on her face made me shiver. Jake was looking back and forth between her and us and he took a step towards her and pointed the gun at her for a moment. I panicked and went to step in between them when she just pulled the hammer back on the gun and in a low tone, "I wouldn't do that Jake. You are in enough shit as it is." He gulped and sat the gun on the ground. I let out a breath that she didn't have a gun focused on her anymore.

I look back at Sam and we both wore impressed looks and looked back at Emma. Her stance relaxed, but kept the gun pointed at Jake. We lowered our arms and I walked over to stand next to her. I looked to Jake, "What happened Jake? You and Bill kill Peter, drowned him in the lake, panic, and buried everything?" I practically growled out at him.

"You don't know what you are talking about." He answered, running a hand down his face.

"Dad!" I heard from behind me. I looked to see Andrea running up to us. "Well good going Jake, now you have a pissed off spirit after you and everyone you love!" Sam said. "It's going to take everyone, Andrea, Lucas, anyone that you care about. It wants you to suffer, just as Peter's mom suffered."

I saw Jake look between us and settled on Andrea for a moment. "Yeah, and how do you know that?"he asked.

"It's exactly what it did to Bill Carlton Jake." Emma said. She had lowered the gun completely now, but still held it to her side. Looking at Jake, he was shaking his head in disbelief. "You three are insane. You know that right?"

"Listen asshole, I don't really give a rat's ass what you think of us."I said and stepped closer to him, "But if we are gonna put a stop to this spirit, we need to know what you did with the remains. Please tell me you buried peter somewhere."

"Dean…" I heard Emma from behind me, I turned to look at her over my shoulder, "I don't think he was buried. He was let go in the lake. Think about it, why do you think the water has been involved." She said. I looked back at Jake, "Please tell me you didn't just let him go in the lake…" I just shook my head.

"Dad… What are they saying? Did you kill somebody?" Andrea asked him. She had her hand up to her mouth, eyes wide with tears rolling down. "NO, no honey don't listen to them. They are dangerous and liars." I heard Emma let out a huff from beside me.

"Dad, something tried to drown me tonight. If it wasn't for these three, then I would be Dead! Now what did you do?" Jake just looked at his daughter, then looked away. That was all the answer she needed.

"Billy and I were at the lake. Peter was the smallest one and we used to always bully him. But that time, we took it too far. We were holding his head under the water. We don't know what happened, but we held him under too long and he just stopped struggling. He drowned. We let the body go and it sank. We were so scared." He said in a shaky voice. "But what they are saying," motioned to us, "It's not rational. Some ghost is killing people?"

"You guys need to get as far away from this lake as possible!" I started. I heard Emma step up to Andrea, and ask, "Andrea, where is Lucas?" "He is in the house." I spun around looking for Lucas. 'Shit' I thought.

I felt Emma grab my arm in a death grip and looking at her she had a panic stricken face. "Oh god… the last vision… Lucas." She whispered. Suddenly Emma took off towards the dock down by the Lake. "Emma! What is it?" I yelled and started after her. Fuck, this girl is fast. I heard Andrea scream from behind me, "Oh my god LUCAS!" Looking past Emma, I realized why she was terrified. The other part that she had seen, Lucas on the dock. "Shit! Sam come on! Emma wait!" I yelled and we took off at a sprint behind Emma.

"Lucas no! Get back!" I heard Emma yell. Breaking through the trees, I saw Emma get to Lucas in time and pulled him back. She was flopped back on the dock and had Lucas pulled to her chest. I slowed down and let out a breath, thank god. But I thought that too soon, because suddenly I saw a hand reach out of the water towards Emma's ankle.

"Emma! Get up! Move!" I screamed at her in panic and started running again. She sat up at my yell and looked around her. I saw her eyes widen and she looked up at me and our eyes met. She had a scared look on her face. Just as I got to the middle of the dock, she pushed Lucas towards me. I could hear Sam behind me, "Emma! Look out!" He yelled from behind me. But we were too late, she was pulled off the dock.

She let out a scream and was pulled under the water. "Emma!" I didn't think, I just dove into the water where she went under. I heard a splash from next to me but I was too busy looking for Emma around me. But I couldn't see her. My heart was beating erratically and I was panicking. I swam back to the surface when my lungs started burning.

Looking around, I saw Sam break the surface and he shook his head at me. "No! Emma! Damn it!" I dove back down under the water. I was looking for any sign of her. I broke the surface again and saw Andrea standing there on the dock holding Lucas, but she was looking over to the bank though.

I looked over and saw Jake was waist deep in the water. "Jake no! Get out!" But we were too far away to do anything. We get up on the dock right when I see Jake get pulled under. Sam and I were both looking around the lake for a sign up Emma and Jake.

After another minute, I drop to my knees cause they just couldn't support my weight any longer. I was in shock, "Dean, come on. She….she's gone. We gotta go. It's been 5 minutes with her under the water man." I could hear the emotion in his voice. He had grown to like Emma as well too. He saw her as a little sister. I looked up at him for a moment and saw tears in his eyes.

I had tears in my eyes as well, but looked back out towards the lake, "Oh Emma, I'm so sorry…" I whispered out. Sam helped me stand, and before I turned away from the lake, I gazed out one more time, hoping to see her at least floating somewhere. Now I understood what people meant about wanting closure.

We were walking up the dock and just hit the grass when I heard in a quite voice off the right, "Dean, Sam…" I froze. Whipping my head in that direction, I saw Emma leaned up against a tree, leaning over with her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. She looked up again and was just staring back at us with a smile on her face. As soon as she locked eyes with me, I took off in a run towards her. I grabbed her around the waist and buried my head into her neck. "Whoa whoa.. Dean…." She went to stand up straighter and her legs gave out. I dropped to the ground with her and just was holding her in my lap.

"You scared the fuck outta me sweetheart. I thought, I thought….." I couldn't get the words out. "Emma!" I heard Sam say. I felt her being pulled from my arms and Sam was hugging her. She leaned back from him after a moment and just sat on the ground. I was still just sitting there looking at her, "what happened?" I asked I asked in a rushed breath.

"Im not sure, I was trying to break free of Peter's grip. I've done some free diving in the past, so I knew I needed to conserve air. But just as I was feeling like the world was fading, I felt the grip on my foot give. I started swimming for the surface. I must have drifted down the lake a little ways cause when I broke the surface I couldn't see the dock any longer. I swam to the edge and heard yelling so started making my way back towards this way. " I just stared at her in shock.

Who is this girl? She is beyond amazing. It was like she was made for this world. She has a serious past, but this girl has broken though some defenses I've had built and it terrifies me and makes me feel amazing at the same time. I am terrified to admit how much she has wormed her way in because that will hurt worse if I loose her. And anyone in this life that we care about has a pretty bad track record for surviving, but damn it, I don't want to let this girl go.

I just kept staring at her. Sam spoke up, "Emma, I don't know what to say, but I am so damn glad that you are okay. And we are so happy that you have literally fallen into our lives." She laughed, "Thanks guys." We both stood up and I reached out a hand to Emma to help her up. I pulled her into a hug again, "I am so glad you are okay." I whispered in her ear. She hugged me tighter for a moment then pulled away. "I thought I told you, no more doing that shit!" I told her with heavy emotion in my voice.

Her answer was to just hug me back.

Street the next day – Emma POV

Yesterday was intense. It was an adrenaline rush. And the scary part is, I liked it. And I saw a different side of Dean. When he saw me after he thought I had drown, he looked terrified. And he looked so relieved that I was okay.

How in just a few days did we get to this point. But I felt like there was a change between us. I kept thinking about the show, and the more I thought of it, the more things were fading from my mind. I kept wondering if it was because I was now a part of it and the other reality was fading.

We were walking out of the hotel room and I was leaning against the impala thinking back to last night. I remember falling asleep on the couch and woke up to being lifted from the couch and sat on one of the beds. I remember seeing Deans face looking down at me and after he laid me down, tucked a piece of hair behind me ear. "Go back to sleep sweetheart." And my eyes had drifted close again. I thought it was a dream, until I woke up on the bed and realized it actually happened. I looked to Dean and he didn't acknowledged anything, so I just let it go for now.

Dean I could tell was down and upset that we couldn't save Jake but in my head I was thinking, 'how else would we have handled the problem. How else would we have put the spirit to rest?' and I know that's a cold way of thinking but I am just glad that it wasn't Andrea or heaven forbid it was Lucas.

"Listen Dean, we're not gonna save everybody." Sam said to him. Dean just nodded his head but still was looking away, "I know Sammy…"

"Sam! Dean! Emma!" We heard from behind us. I looked and saw Andrea walking up with Lucas. Lucas looked so much better and even had a smile on his face. "Im glad we caught you three. We, um, we made lunch for you. Even in nice to go bags for the road."

Looking at Lucas I saw that he was carrying a bag of sandwiches. He looked up at his mom, "Can I give it to them now?" I smiled so big, he was talking! "Yeah honey, go a head."

Dean stepped up, "Come on Lucas, help me load it into the car." Lucas walked past me. Sam stepped up to Andrea, "How you holding up?" He asked her. She let out a big breath, "It's gonna take a long time to sort through everything. To believe in everything that happened even." I reached out to hug her, "Im so sorry we couldn't save you dad Andrea." I said quietly. She just hugged me back then said, "You saved my son Emma. I cant ask for more than that." She stepped back to look at both of us, "Dad loved me. Loved us. No matter what he did, I have to hold onto that love."

I looked over at Dean and saw him and Lucas give each other a high five and I just laughed at them. Andrea leaned into me and whispered, "Don't let that boy go. Either of them. They both looked like they would be lost with out you. Especially Dean." My eyes snapped to hers in question and she just nodded to me.

Andrea walked up to Dean and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. She paused for a moment and whispered something in his ear too. His eyes found mine and just held them for a moment while she whispered to him and held so much emotion. I don't know what Andrea was saying to him, but it looked like he agreed, cause he looked back at Andrea and nodded his head to her with a small smile.

"Alright, move your asses, we are gonna run out of daylight." I laughed and looked to Andrea one final time. She gave me a smirk and wink and walked away with Lucas. Just as I got to the car, Dean beat me to the back door and opened it for me. He swooped in and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I blushed and looked him. He just gave me a wink and opened up his own door.

I slid in and looked at him in the rear view mirror. He had a brightness in his eyes. And then we were headed down the road to our next adventure, or hunt.

Authors Note:

So, I know things might be moving kind of quick, but she was placed in the world for a reason. We will discover more of Emma's past as the story goes on. The rough crowd, did she actually get all the way out?

Yes Dean is out of character. But that's gonna happen when you have your perfect match right? Lol

Hope you enjoyed this one. I am having fun changing things around. I like to keep everyone on their toys. The shows are more like guidelines to keep the story going lol

Thanks again!
