I was laying on the motel bed when Sam came back into the room

"So, I think it's safe to say we can rule out Nessie," Sam claimed

"What do you mean?" Dean asked

"I just drove past the Carlton house. There was an ambulance there. Will Carlton is dead,"

"He drowned?" I questioned

"Yep. In the sink,"

I quickly sat up at that point.

"What the hell? So you're right, this isn't a creature. We're dealing with something else," Dean said

"Yeah, but what?" I asked

"I don't know. Waterwraith, maybe? Some kind of demon?" Sam listed

"Demons out. I couldn't smell any sulfur," I said

"So, something that controls water... water that comes from the same source," Dean deduced.

"The lake," Sam realized

"Yeah,"

"Which would explain why it's upping the body count. The lake is draining. It'll be dry in a few months. Whatever this thing is, whatever it wants, it's running out of time," I stated.

"And if it can get through the pipes, it can get to anyone, almost anywhere," Sam said

"So I'm not taking a shower while we're here," I joked

"This is gonna happen again soon,"

"And we know one other thing for sure. We know this has got something to do with Bill Carlton," Dean said

"Yeah, it took both his kids,"

"And I've been asking around. Lucas's dad, Chris- Bill Carlton's godson,"

I looked to Dean "Let's go pay Mr. Carlton a visit,"

Bill Carlton was sitting on the bench on the dock when we came to him

"Mr. Carlton? We'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind," Dean said

"We're from the the Department-" Sam began

"I don't care who you're with. I've answered enough questions today," Bill complained

"Your son said he saw something in that lake. What about you? You ever see anything out there? Mr. Carlton, Sophie's drowning and Will's death- we think there might be a connection to you or your family,"

"My children are gone. It's... it's worse than dying. Go away. Please,"

I looked into the water and growled.

"Luna!" Dean called out.

I looked once more at the water and walked to the Impala.

Dean and I walked into Lucas' Bedroom and like at the park he was coloring with toy soldiers surrounding him. "Hey, Lucas. You remember me?"

I curled up next to Lucas as I watched him draw.

"You know, I, uh, I wanted to thank you for that last drawing. But the thing is, I need your help again," Dean held out the house drawing "How did you know to draw this? Did you know something bad was gonna happen? Maybe you could nod yes or no to me,"

Lucas carried on drawing

"You're scared. It's okay. I understand. See, when I was your age, I saw something really bad happen to my mom, and I was scared, too. I didn't feel like talking, just like you. But see, my mom- I know she wanted me to brave. I think about that every day. And I do my best to be brave. And maybe, your dad wants you to be brave too,"
