A Survivor's Silence (Destiel Horror)

Chapter 4

The sleek black impala cruised soundlessly along the open faced road. Its dark paint causing it to blend in with the dark forests, making the vehicle practically invisible and the headlights being the only thing that illuminated the dark roadway.

Cas felt another stab in his lower abdomen and cringed.

"Hey you okay?" The blond whispered in an effort to not wake up the sleeping teenager in the backseat.

The brunet lifted his head off his husband's shoulder and wrapped his arm around his midsection as another dizzy spell hit.

"Can you pull over? I need a few minutes"

The impala pulled over at the side of road and the headlights shut off.

"You want me to come with you?" Dean asked, looking at the layers of forest stretched out for miles on each side of the road while the brunet unbuckled his seat belt.

"No, you stay here and watch Claire. I'll be right back"

                                                 •

His feet stepped carefully along on the man made forest path. The void of human noise pollution made the the pure sounds of nature sound deafening almost.

Cas felt a little better but he thought to soon as another pain ripped through his whole being and he sucked in a sharp breath.

A branch snapped and his heart rate rose as he turned around turned.

There was nothing there.

He turned back around and jumped as he saw a man standing there.

The man smiled crookedly and brunet stepped back until his back hit a tree.

                                                   ~

Claire cracked her eyes open and sat up, realizing that the car was stopped beside some woods.

"Where are we?" She asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"We stopped for a little bit. Cas got a little car sick" Dean responded tapping his fingers against the leather steering as the time on the radio shifted.

                                                ~

"You know, I ain't seen a human in a while," the balding man stepped forward. "You and that kid of yours look like good folks I could hold on to for a while" he commented glancing at his rounded stomach.

The man advanced but got hit over the head with a piece of branch. He pulled his hand away from his face to see it bleeding.

"You bitch!"

"You come near me or my baby again and I'll shove this up your ass next."

The forest became undisturbed and something rapid came rustling towards them. Cas's eyes widened and he ran back the same direction he came from just as a deadly screech came from somewhere in the darkness.

"Hey, you come back here!"

But the brunet kept running until another pain ripped through his midsection causing him to collapse against the trunk of a tree.

He wrapped his coat around his torso as another pain caused to him whimper. This was definitely wasn't braxton hicks.

Not now, please. Any time but now

The brunet had tears rolling down his face as the pain intensified and he doubled over.

Dean's head snapped up as a shout came from the thickness of forest.

"Shit," he pulled something out of the glove compartment before rushing out of the car. "Stay here" he ordered and took off onto the path into the woods but the teen didn't listen and hopped out of the car.

°

They were listening. He could hear and feel them close by based on the goosebumps running along his arms and neck but he tried breathing slowly in and out.

There was a screech from behind the tree and Cas nestled further into the tree's shadow containing his anxiety ridden heartbeats, before the alien's head popped out just a few feet above him.

He couldn't die now.

Oh god, he couldn't leave Dean alone. Not now, not after Liam. And poor Claire, losing her family to these things and was just about to lose the closest thing she had to one, or any decent human interaction, in ages.

Another contraction broke his concentration and he barely held back a sound as this time water slowly seeped down his legs.

The creature's face opened up as it turned towards the noise and bared its teeth.
