LJ stepped into the hot steamy mist of the shower. There was more water pressure
in this motel bathroom than in most other. LJ turned her back to the
spray of the water and tilted her head back so that she could wet her
hair. After making sure it was soaked, she grabbed the mini shampoo
bottle and squeezed all the soap into her hand. She scrubbed her scalp,
determined to get all the blood and dirt from her hair when she heard a
knock at the door. Ignoring it, she rinsed out the soap and watched the
red and black water run down the drain. Again a knock was heard.
"What?" LJ yelled, annoyed that her bliss was getting interrupted. No answer. There was no conditioner, so LJ proceeded to wash her body when the door was kicked in. She knew better than to scream, so she slowly turned off the water and pulled down the towel that was hanging over the pole of the curtain and wrapped it around her body. Quickly swiping the curtain to the side, LJ saw Dean laying unconscious in the scraps of the wooden door. She looked through the doorway and saw Cas fighting with a large, bulky male about twice his size. The guy Cas was fighting turned to see LJ peeking around the corner and threw Cas across the room. Her eyes widen as the man came closer, revealing black eyes. The Hunter began to search Dean to see if he had any weapons when a grunted cry was heard. She looked up to see that Sam had stabbed the demon, making him light up like a jack-o-lantern. He quickly collapsed and Sam looked at LJ who was still leaning over Dean's body, hand in his jacket. Sam raised his eyebrows at this curious sight before him.
"Uh, this is not what it looks like." Dean mumbled as he began to regain consciousness. LJ quickly stood up and backed away.
"I was just looking for some sort of weapon so that I could defend myself." Sam was still eyeing the female Hunter as he walked over to offer his older brother a hand. She felt her face grow hot as she realized that she was still in only a towel. Dean had glanced her way and shot her a wink.
"If you wanted to feel me, all you had to do was ask."
"Can I get dressed now?" LJ asked, avoiding eye contact with both Winchesters. Dean chuckled as he walked out of the bathroom.
"Knock yourself out." He then proceeded to open another beer and put his legs on the table. LJ ducked behind the shower curtain seeing as the door had been busted down and broken into little splinters. She quickly pulled on some tight dark blue jeans and a dark purple tank top. In the bag were her favorite leather boots that she pulled on. The female Hunter had no brush to get the tangles from her hair, so instead pulled it into a ponytail. Cas was standing in the room having a stare-down with the Winchesters when she walked out of the bathroom.
"Well, this has been fun. Thanks for the shower. Hope you boys have a nice life." She exclaimed as she turned the doorknob to leave.
"Where do you think you're going?" Dean asked in his gruff voice.
"You don't seriously expect me to stay with you guys do you? You're practically walking targets!" Sam snorted at her comment. She rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her when Cas appeared right in front of her. She heard the door she had just come from open behind her.
"You cannot leave. You are in danger. You are safer with them then without." Knowing she couldn't get around him, she sighed exasperated and walked back into the motel room.
"Gave in that easily? I sure wouldn't trust you with secrets in case you were tortured." Sam slapped the back of Dean's head. Dean quickly scowled at his younger brother. LJ sat on a bed and slumped, not knowing what to do. She hadn't realized how late it was until she had gone outside. Sam looked at the tired Hunter as she yawned.
"You should go to sleep. You have had a rough day." LJ could deny it all she wanted, but she knew she had to get sleep sometime. When she didn't move, Sam walked to the dirty refrigerator.
"Listen, just lay down. We aren't going anywhere. You'll be safe." He popped open the beer and took a small swig out of it before opening his laptop. After pulling off her boots, LJ Curled into a ball on the bed and drifted off to a deep, dreamless sleep. She awoke to a bright light shining in her eyes. She sat up groggily and stared at a stain on the wall. The bed to her left held an oversize Sam Winchester. His legs were well over the edge of the bed, but he didn't seem to mind. After her eyes adjusted to being awake, LJ noticed Dean who was asleep in a wooden chair. Seeing her chance to escape, LJ quickly yanked on her boots. She quietly tip-toed to the door and pulled it open, the squeaked echoing throughout the quiet room. Slightly jumping, the female Hunter glanced behind her. Both boys were still in a deep sleep, making her able to slide out the door. She closed it slowly to make sure it didn't squeak again and turned around only to be face to face with Cas. She jumped back, hand on her heart. "Where are you going?" He asked her. Rolling her eyes as she walked past the angel, she said
"Away. I have disappeared many times, I sure can do it again." The angel kept following the Hunter, easily keeping up with her quick pace. Finally getting annoyed, she turned and faced him.
"Listen, Cas, I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself. I've been on my own hunting since I was 12. I know what I'm doing. Please, just let me go." Before Cas was able to respond, a slamming door was heard in the distance. LJ knew it was the Winchesters, so she took off running. The angel vanished in thin air, making LJ wonder if he was helping her or not. Quickly jumping into an alley and ducking behind a trash can, LJ watched as both Sam and Dean stopped in the opening of the alley.
"Shit, how far could she have gotten?" Dean asked, hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath.
"Not far. She was still asleep when I woke up an hour ago." Sam responded to his brother. Not making a sound, LJ stayed crouched in her little hiding spot. She listened as the brothers split up to look for her and after counting to 100, she got up. Looking both ways before making a run for it, LJ crossed the street. She ducked into a diner after almost running into Dean. Turning around to see faces staring at her, LJ decides to take a seat. She had found some money in the pocket of the jeans she had on, so it wouldn't hurt to get some coffee. A waitress with short, curly red hair approached the Hunter with a smile on her face.
"What can I get for you dearie?" She asked. LJ smiled back at the women.
"Um, just a coffee. Black. Thank you." The waitress nodded and went to the back of the restaurant. With a sigh, LJ leaned back and looked out the window. She watched the people walking by, totally unaware of the real world. She wished she could be like that. Startled out of her thoughts when her coffee came, LJ jumped. The waitress sat in front of LJ after setting down the coffee, immediately sending bad signals the Hunter. Almost right after sitting down, the waitress's eyes went all black.
"Ah, fuck." LJ exclaimed, making the demon across from her smile. After glancing around the room, she saw that everyone had the same black eyes.
"Well, you sure were lucky to have escaped that first time. You shouldn't have run away." The waitress taunted. When all hope seemed lost, a bell on the door jingled revealing a man about 6'1". Someone LJ recognized right away.
Around the same time
Dean awoke to a pain in his back. He stretched his arms above his head as his vision cleared. He smiled at his little brother who was too long for the tiny twin bed he was asleep on. Sam was entangled in the sheets when Dean's eyes wandered to the other empty bed. As soon as he noticed the bed was empty, Dean rushed to the door. The chain was hanging and the deadbolt was undone. She ran.
"Sam, wake up!" He commanded his brother while hitting his foot. Sam sat up with a start and blinked a few times before he could see.
"Wha-What happened?" He asked his brother while rubbing his eyes. Dean began to shove his clothes and guns into his duffel-bag.
"She's gone." His voice was deeper when he was angry, letting Sam know to hurry. Soon, they were both running out the door, letting it slam behind them. Sam pointed at a girl who had run the opposite direction, headed for an alleyway. The Winchesters took off after her, not knowing whether it was the missing Hunter or not. Looking down the alley, Dean leaned on his knees to catch his breath.
"Shit, how far could she have gotten?" Dean asked through breaths.
"Not far. She was still asleep when I woke up an hour ago." Sam glanced behind him, thinking he heard a noise. Deciding to split up, the boys went opposite directions to see if they could find LJ. After searching for almost an hour, Dean called Sam on his cell phone.
"She is nowhere to be found!" He yelled in his gruff voice.
"Well, how about we meet up and get something to eat?" Sam suggested. They agreed to meet up at the restaurant that was on the corner that Dean had passed looking for LJ. He had gotten there just as Sam was rounding the corner. With a nod toward the direction of his brother, Dean pushed open the door. The sight he walked into was ghastly. Dead bodies were strewn all over the ground, all having been stabbed in.
"Look, Dean." Sam had found a stray boot under a table. As Dean walked to his brother, a groan was heard from the back of the restaurant. Sharing a look with his brother, Dean stealthily walked into the kitchen. When he got there, he was shocked to find an old hunting buddy.
"Garth!? What the hell happened here?" Dean asked as he helped his friend to his feet. Other than a slight wound on his head, Garth was unharmed.
"Wait, where is she!? They took her, Balls!" Garth had scanned the room, disappointed when he didn't find the person he was looking for.
"Garth?" Sam questioned as he walked into the kitchen. Garth hastily ran out the door, stopping on the sidewalk to look for a clue as to where this person was taken.
"Garth, what are you looking for?" Sam asked as he got out of the restaurant.
"Didn't you think this town was weird? I mean, look at it! There are no people walking around on a beautiful day like today! Why would that be?" He stared at the Winchesters when the sound of a whip of wind and a thump was heard, making Garth jump.
"She has been abducted. Again."
"Castiel! So good to see you again!" Garth hugged the unexpected angel.
"Do you mean LJ?" Sam asked Cas who in response grunted and pushed away the hugging Hunter.
"What do we do now?" Sam looked to Dean for an answer, but it was Cas who replied.
"We find her." Dean did not have to look at his baby brother to know that he was giving Castiel a bitch face. Garth stood in between Cas and Sam.
"Whoa. I am all for finding her. But is anyone else wondering why they want her so bad?"
"No." Cas said, vanishing from everyone's sight.
"Thanks for that Cas!" Dean yelled. He then began to walk back to the motel where he parked his slick black 1967 Chevy Impala. After he and Sam got in, Garth leaned into Dean's window.
"Where are we going to look?" He asked, desperately wanting to be on a job again.
"I don't know." Dean began to pull away from the curb, making Garth jump back.
"You are looking for her, right?" Garth asked, following the now moving vehicle. Dean in response drove faster so Garth was unable to keep up.
"Balls!" He exclaimed, throwing his hat on the ground. After watching the Winchesters leave, he picked up his hat and jumped into his rusted up Ford Ranchero and headed out of town. Whether the Winchesters were going to help or not, he was going to find LJ.
"What?" LJ yelled, annoyed that her bliss was getting interrupted. No answer. There was no conditioner, so LJ proceeded to wash her body when the door was kicked in. She knew better than to scream, so she slowly turned off the water and pulled down the towel that was hanging over the pole of the curtain and wrapped it around her body.
