Daddy's Little Hunter (SPN Season 1)

The Benders [6]

Natalia whimpered when she heard the gunshots.

Missy smirked "Looks like you got a new family now,"

Something in Natalia seemed to switch on, even Dean became concerned when his niece went from tearful to emotionless.

"You hurt my daddy?" Natalia asked.

"My family always wins the hunt," Missy claimed as she walked over to Dean "Now it's my turn,"

Dean moved his head away from the blade as much as he could.

"No!" Natalia screamed.

The room seemed to quake as her voice echoed through the room.

Missy took a frightened step back.

"No! No! No! No!" Natalia exclaimed.

With every 'no' an invisible force seemed to push Missy back until she was forced into a closet.

Natalia blinked her eyes almost as if she were just waking up from a dreamlike trance.

"Tali?!" Sam called out from outside.

Dean noticed that Natalia was still a bit out of it and called out "Sam! In here!"

Sam's footsteps hurried into the house and he became confused seeing the scene in front of him.

Natalia looked up and saw her father, her face lighting up "Daddy!" she toddled over to her father quickly, hugging his leg.

Sam picked her up and looked around the disjointed room "What happened?"

"Not quite sure. But how about you untie me and we get the hell out of dodge," Dean proclaimed.

"Right," Sam said. "Where's the girl?"

"I right here," Natalia said.

Dean nodded towards the blocked closet "Locked in a closet. What about the dad?"

"Shot." Sam said "Trying to escape,"

Dean cleared his throat "I think the car's at the police station."

Kathleen entered the room "So, state police and the FBI are gonna be here within the hour. They're gonna wanna talk to you. I suggest that you're long gone by then,"

"Thanks." Dean nodded "Hey, listen, I don't mean to press our luck, but we're kind of in the middle of nowhere. Think we could catch a ride?"

"Start walking. Duck if you see a squad car,"

"Sounds great to me. Thanks," Sam said as he and Natalia started walking.

The young three-year-old already beginning to fall asleep on her father's back.

"Listen, uh..." Dean started "I'm sorry about your brother,"

"Thank you." Kathleen said with tears in her eyes "It was really hard not knowing what happened to him. I thought it would be easier to know once I knew the truth but it isn't really...Anyway, you should go,"

Dean nodded and hurried after his brother and niece, gently hitting Sam's arm once he caught up "Never do that again,"

"Do what?" Sam wondered.

"Go missin' like that,"

Sam laughed "You were worried about us,"

"All I'm sayin' is, you vanish like that again, I'm not lookin' for ya,"

"Sure you won't,"

"I'm not,"

Sam chuckled "So, you got sidelined by a thirteen-year-old girl, huh?"

"You would be to if they held a knife to your niece,"

Sam's face paled and he fidgeted as he wanted to move Natalia so he could look her over for any injuries.

"She's fine, Sammy. The girl was a champ,"

"Dean I saw the dresser that was blocking the closet, you were still tied up..." Sam looked over his shoulder at his sleeping daughter.

Dean patted Sam on the shoulder "We'll figure it out, Sam. We always do,"
