Carry On My Wayward Sons...... and Daughter (Season One/ COMPLETED)

Scarecrow (part 1)

Annie's POV

Brrrrringgggg! Brrrriiiiiinggg!

"Dean...... Sam.... Get the damn phone...." I yawn as I sit up.

Brrrriiiiiingggg! Brrrringgg! Neither of them move.

"Dumbasses." I sigh and pick up the phone off the table.

"Hello?" I say through a yawn as I rub my eyes.

"......Annie? Is that you?"

"Dad? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine."

"We've been looking for you everywhere! We didn't know if you were okay."

"I'm fine. What about you? And what do you mean 'we'?"

"..... Uh, I'm with Sam... A-And Dean. We're all okay, and it's kind of a long story...... Dad, where are you?"

I look over to see Dean and Sam starting to wake up. They sit up and look at me.

"Sorry kiddo, I can't tell you that."

"What? Why the hell not, Dad?"

Dean looks at me. "Is that Dad?" I nod and hold my finger up to my lips.

"Look, you just gonna have to trust me on this one, alright?"

"You're after it, aren't you? The thing that killed Mom?"

"Annie how?..... Dean?"

"Him and Sam. Now, am I right?"

"...... Yeah. It's a..... It's a demon."

"A demon? You know for sure?"

Dean and Sam share a glance. "A demon? What's he saying?" I glare at them and press my finger back against my lips.

"I do....... Listen, tell Sammy i'm sorry would you? For what happened to his girlfriend... I... I would've done anything to stop it."

"I will. Do you know where this thing is?"

"Yeah, I think I'm finally closing in on it."

"Let us help please Dad."

"You can't. You can't be any part of it."

"Why not?"

"Annie, give me the phone."

"Listen, Annie, that’s why I’m calling. You and your brothers, you gotta stop looking for me. Alright, now, I need you to write down these names."

"Names? What names, Dad—talk to me, tell me what’s going on."

"Look, we don’t have time for this. This is bigger than you think, they’re everywhere. Even us talking right now, it’s not safe."

"No. Alright? No way."

"Give me the phone Annie." 

"I have given you an order. Now, you stop following me, and you do your job. You understand me? Now, take down these names." Dean snatches the phone from my hand.

"Dad, it’s me. Where are you?…Yes, sir... Uh, yeah, I got a pen. What are their names?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, so, the names Dad gave us, they’re all couples?" Sam is in the front, driving, Dean has shotgun and I am in the back of the car.

"Three different couples. All went missing."

"And they’re all from different towns? Different states?"

"That’s right. You got Washington, New York, Colorado. Each couple took a road trip cross-country. None of them arrived at their destination, and none of them were ever heard from again."
