Dean
We made a campfire and I drew something in the dirt around the campsite while Hayley pokes at the fire. “One more time, that's-” Hayley starts to ask “Anasazi symbols, it's for protection. The wendigo can't cross over them” I said and Roy laughs “nobody likes a skeptic, Roy” I said mad. I walk over to where Sam and Shelby are sitting at the edge of the campsite. Shelby is leaning on a log, asleep while I sit next to Sam on one.
“You wanna tell me what's going on in that freaky head of yours” I asked Sam “Dean-” “no, you're not fine. You're like a powder keg, man, it's not like you. I'm supposed to be the belligerent one, remember” I said with a small smile. A pause “dad's not here; I mean that much we know for sure, right? He would have left us a message, a sign, right” I said as Sam looks foreword.
“Yeah, you're probably right; Tell you the truth, I don't think Dad's ever been to Lost Creek” I said. I look at Sam and he looks at me “then let's get these people back to town and let's hit the road. Go find Dad, I mean, why are we still even here” Sam asked mad and annoyed. I get up and kneel in front of Sam, holding up dad's journal. “This is why” I said hitting the book.
“This book, this is Dad's single most valuable possession, everything he knows about every evil thing is in here. And he's passed it on to us. I think he wants us to pick up where he left off, you know, saving people, hunting things. The family business” I say and Sam shakes his head “that makes no sense. Why doesn't he just call us? Why doesn't he tell us what he wants, tell us where he is” Sam said.
“I dunno, but the way I see it, Dad's giving us a job to do, and I intend to do it” I said “Dean...no, I gotta find Dad, I gotta find Jessica's killer. It's the only thing I can think about” Sam said. “Okay, all right, Sam, we'll find them, I promise. Listen to me. You've gotta prepare yourself, I mean, this search could take a while, and all that anger, you can't keep it burning over the long haul. It's gonna kill you. You gotta have patience, man” I say to him.
Sam looks down, then up “how do you two do it, you and Shelby? How does Dad do it” Sam asks. I look over at Hayley and Ben “well for one, them” I said and Sam looks over there two. “Second” I looked behind Sam towards Shelby “are family has never been a family, now here we are. I can tell you this, I've never felt so close to our sister, to you then what we're doing right now” I say.
Sam pauses “I mean, I figure our family's so screwed to hell, maybe we can help some others. Makes things a little bit more bearable” I say to Sam as another pause come “I'll tell you what else helps” I said making Sam look at me “killing as many evil sons of bitches as I possibly can” I say with a smile.
Sam smile and a twig snaps “help me, please” someone yells make Shelby wake up and Sam, Shelby, and I stand up, reading my gun. Everyone stands up as it calls out again “help” Shelby cocks her gun while Sam shines a flashlight around. “He's trying to draw us out. Just stay cool, stay put” I say trying to stay calm “yeah, easy for you to say” Shelby says to me, standing next to me.
“Inside the magic circle” Roy asks “help, help me” all of a sudden we hear a growling noise and Roy points his gun at the sound. “Okay, that's no grizzly” Roy says “you think” Shelby says as Hayley talks to Ben who is scared “it's okay. You'll be all right, I promise” something rushes past making Hayley shriek. We turn towards them “it's here” Shelby says almost a whisper.
Roy shoots at the rustling, then again and again “I hit it” Roy says and goes into the woods to see what he hit. “Roy, no! Roy” I yell and turn to Hayley and Ben “don't move” I say pointing at the and look at Shelby “stay with them” she nods as Hayley holds a stick, burning at one end. Sam and I head into the woods. “It's over here! It's in the tree” Roy yells “Roy” I yell and Sam shines the flashlight around, we can't find him.
Shelby
Sam is sitting against a hollow tree stump, holding John's journal while Dean, Hayley, Ben, and I are among the tents. “I don't...I mean, these types of things, they aren't supposed to be real” Hayley says “I wish I could tell you different” Dean said and knelt down next to Hayley braking some tree branches. “How do we know it's not out there watching us” Hayley asked “we don't” I say making everyone look at me.
“But we're safe, for now” I finish and everyone goes back to doing what they were doing “how do you know about this stuff” Hayley asks Dean. Dean stops to think “kind of runs in the family” Dean says and stands up as Sam walks over making Hayley stand up. “Hey, so we've got half a chance in the daylight and I for one want to kill this evil son of a bitch” Sam says.
“Well, hell, you know I'm in” Dean says “it's not like I have a choice” I said with a smile making Dean slightly push me, making me laugh a bit. Sam shows the wendigo page of dad's journal to Haley and Ben “Wendigo is a Cree Indian word. It means evil that devours” Sam says. “They're hundreds of years old, each one was once a man. Sometimes an Indian, or other times a frontiersman or a miner or hunter” Dean says.
“How's a man turn into one of those things” Hayley asks as Dean walks around picking up different things. “Well, it's always the same, during some harsh winter a guy finds himself starving, cut off from supplies or help. Becomes a cannibal to survive, eating other members of his tribe or camp” I say. “Like the Donner Party” Ben says and I nod to him.
“Cultures all over the world believe that eating human flesh gives a person certain abilities. Speed, strength, immortality” Sam said “if you eat enough of it, over years, you become this less than human thing. You're always hungry” I say. “So if that's true, how can Tommy still be alive” Hayley asks as Dean, Sam and I glance at each other. “You're not gonna like it” Dean says “tell me” Hayley says.
“More than anything, a wendigo knows how to last long winters without food. It hibernates for years at a time, but when it's awake it keeps its victims alive. It, uh, it stores them, so it can feed whenever it wants. If your brother's alive, it's keeping him somewhere dark, hidden, and safe. We gotta track it back there” Dean says to Hayley and Ben.
“And then how do we stop it” Hayley asks “well, guns are useless, so are knives. Basically-” Dean starts and holds up the can of lighter fluid, the beer bottle, and the white cloth he'd picked up. “We gotta torch it” I say, finishing for Dean while crossing my arms and Dean nods “exactly”.
Dean leads the way through the woods, Molotov cocktail in hand while Hayley follows with me, Ben, and Sam behind. We pass trees with claw marks and blood after a few hours Sam is leading us now. “Dean, Shelby” Sam calls and we run over to them “what is it” Dean asks and we look around at the trees. There are bloody claw marks and broken branches everywhere. “You know, I was thinking, those claw prints, so clear and distinct. They were almost too easy to follow” Sam says
We hear growling making us whip around to see trees rustle. Hayley is standing under a tree, blood drips on her shirt. She notices and looks up, screaming and leaps out of the way; Roy's corpse lands where she'd stood. I bent down next to Roy “his neck's broke” I say as Sam helps Hayley up then we hear more growling. “Okay, run, run, run, run, go, go, go” Dean says and everyone takes off.
We ended up getting split up, Hayley and Dean, Sam and Ben, and then there's me. I stop and look around, hearing it get closer to me. I quickly turned around and was thrown against the tree.
Sam
Ben and I hear Hayley scream and quickly run towards the noise “Haley” Ben calls and we stop and look around. I pick up Dean's Molotov cocktail, the bottle broken “Shelby, Dean” I yelled out, nothing. We started walking around, trying to find Shelby, Dean, and Hayley. “If it keeps its victims alive, why would it kill Roy” Ben asked “honestly, I think because Roy shot at it, pissed it off” I said to Ben.
“So whats up with you're sister” Ben asked me “what do you mean” “well, like, does she have a boyfriend”. I stopped and looked at Ben making him stop and look at me “what” “no” I said. Ben looks at me confused “listen, if you think you can ask her out, bad idea” I say with a laugh “why” Ben asks? “Because you'll have to go threw me” “so” “and Dean” I said “oh” Ben said as I smiled and nodded.
Ben looked down and finds a trail of M&Ms and picks one up “they went this way” Ben says and we follow the trail. We come to a mine entrance marked with a sign that says WARNING! DANGER! DO NOT ENTER EXTREMELY TOXIC MATERIAL. I look at Ben, shrugs, and goes inside with Ben fallowing behind me.
I shine a flashlight ahead of us when all of a sudden I hear growling and quickly shuts off the light and pulls Ben against the wall. The wendigo comes towards us and I cover Ben's mouth before he can scream. The wendigo takes a different tunnel at the crossing and Ben and I keep going. The floorboards creak and creak until we fall through the floor; we land in a pile of bones.
Ben and I look around and see Hayley and Dean hanging by their wrists from the ceiling. I run over to Dean and Ben runs over to Hayley “Dean, Dean” I say shaking him making him open his eyes “hey, you okay” I ask as Ben tries to wake up Hayley. Dean winces in pain “yeah” he manages to say and I cut him down while Ben takes care of Hayley.
We help them over to an empty patch of floor and get them sat down. Dean makes pained noises “you sure you're all right” “yeah, yep, wheres, wheres Shelby” Dean chokes out. “I don't know, hold on” I say and stand up, looking around “Sam” I look over and see Shelby laying on the ground under a few piles of wood. I take them off her and help her sit up “hey, you okay” I ask.
Shelby is holding her arm and I move her hand to see she has a deep cut in her arm that's bleeding bad. “Here, keep pressure on that” I said and grab a small blanket that I had and had her hold it there. I helped her over to where Dean, Hayley and Ben were and sat her down as she hissed in pain. “Where is he” she asked “he's gone for now” I say to her and look over at Dean.
Hayley unties herself the rest of the way and stands up, spotting Tommy and starts crying. “Tommy” Hayley says and touches his cheek making Tommy's head jerks up and Hayley steps back and shrieks for a second. She turns to me “cut him down” Hayley tells me and I do. “We're gonna get you home” Hayley says to Tommy as Dean and Shelby stand up, Shelby let go of her arm.
“Hey are you -” I start to ask Shelby “if you ask me if I'm okay I will shoot you Sam” Shelby said a bit mad. The stolen supplies are piled in the corner; Dean and Shelby puck up flare guns. “Check it out” Dean says and we all look over “flare guns, those'll work” I say with a grin making Dean laugh and twirls the guns, giving one to Shelby.
Shelby
Dean hands me one of the flare guns “can you shoot with one hand” Dean asks me and I laugh “you'd be surprise what I can do with one hand” I said and took the gun from him. We head down a tunnel, Dean and I are in the lead with the flare guns while Sam is behind us and Hayley and Ben are Tommy who is limping. We hear growling and stop “looks like someone's home for supper” Dean says.
“We'll never outrun it” Hayley says making Dean look back at them then at Sam and I “you thinking what I'm thinking” Dean asks us “yeah” I said holding the gun “yeah, I think so” Sam says. “All right, listen to me, stay with Sam, he's gonna get you out of here” Dean said to Hayley, Ben, and Tommy “what are you gonna do” Hayley asks him.
Dean looks at me “you ready” I laugh “oh yeah” I said and Dean winks to Hayley and Dean and I start walking and yelling. “Chow time, you freaky bastard” I yell “yeah, that's right, bring it on, baby, I taste good” Dean yells. Sam leads the others away as we continue to yell. “Hey, you want some white meat, bitch! I'm right here” Dean yells “really” I say looking at Dean.
“What” Dean asks as I take off my jacket, showing where I was cut and still bleeding. “you want him to find us, well you need to get him to smell us” I say and take my hand rapping it around my arm and removing it, showing the blood on it and smearing it on the wall. “Good idea” Dean says to me with a smile as I put my jacket on “thanks” I say and we continue to walk.
We hear Hayley scream and quickly run towards it seeing them run to the end of the tunnel with the wendigo right behind. Dean steps close to it “Dean watch out” I yell and the wendigo throws Dean, making him hit the wall. “Why am I the one always getting thrown around” Dean says.
“Hey” I say making the windigo look at me from Ben, Hayley, Sam, and Tommy “here's a taste of your own medicine” I said and shoot it in the stomach. The flare goes off and the wendigo goes up in flames as it screams. We watch it burn to the ground, dead. “Not bad for a girl, huh” I ask looking at Sam and them. Sam grins as Dean stands up “show off” he says to me as we make our way out.
An ambulance loads up Tommy, two police officers interviews Ben with Sam standing behind him, and Hayley talks to Dean. Ben walks over as someone wraps gauze up my arm “hey you okay” Ben asks and I smile. I get out of the ambulance and grab my jacket “Ben there's something you should no about me. Where ever I go, my brothers go, and where ever my brothers go, I go. You wouldn't last 5 minuets in my world, and I'm way to bad ass for you” I say with a smile and put my jacket on as I walk away.
Ben smiles and Hayley and him get in the ambulance with Tommy “I hope you find your father” Hayley says to Dean. “Thank Sam” Hayley says and she looks at me “keep you're brothers in line” “will do” I said and they drive off while Sam sits on the Impala's hood with Dean and I join them. “Man, I hate camping” I said “me too” Dean says “me three” Sam says.
All of out hands are in out jacket pockets and we stair off. “Sam, you know we're gonna find Dad, right” Dean says to Sam “yeah, I know, but in the meantime? I'm driving” Sam says making Dean laugh and shake his head but tosses Sam the keys. “What, that is not fare” I said as Sam gets in the driver side with Dean and I on the other side. “Sorry sis” “fine, I call shot gun” I say and go to get in but Dean pushes me and gets in with a laugh.
I sighed with a smile and get in the backseat again. We drive off, setting to a new adventure with the stereo cranked up and music coming out as we drive.
