Our Journey

* SHORT DREAM*

"Dean...Dean", Felix cried out. Dean's body was laid against the backseat of the impala, his head was bleeding profusely.

"Sam...help me", Felix yells for help. A sinister laugh could be heard.

*END OF DREAM*

Felix gasped sitting out with a gasp scooting into a tree shaking her head, "Hey, Lix", her face was held gently by Dean.

"It's okay", he says rubbing her cheek. She nodded slowly not being able to look at anyone, knowing they were staring at her. Dean watches as she stretches handing his coat back, thanking him quietly. He grips her chin kissing her lips savoring the small moment.

"I don't- -I mean these types of things. They aren't supposed to be real", Hailey speaks up.

"I wish we could tell you different", Dean says crouching beside her.

"How do you know it's not out there watching us?", Hailey asks.

"We don't", Felix says with a small smile, "but we're safe for now", she says. Hailey looks up at her, "How do you know so much about this stuff?", she asks but Felix shook her head, "I've only known about this for two years...for Dean and Sam, it sort of runs in the family", she smiled standing up.

Sam walked towards them breathing heavily, "Hey...so we've got half a chance in the daylight. And I, for one...want this evil son of a bitch", he says. Dean looked at Felix with a surprised look before looking back at Sam, "Well, hell, you know I'm in", he states.

Sam gestured for them to all gather around,

"Windigo is a Cree Indian word. It means "Evil that devours", he says and Dean cuts in,

"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 explains walking past them.

"How's a man turn into one of those things?", Hailey asks.

"Well, it's always the same", Felix says putting on one of Dean's jackets, "during some harsh winter, a guy finds himself starving, cut off from supplies or help- -", she stops in front of the siblings, "becomes a cannibal to survive, eating other members of his tribe or camp", she says.

"Like the Donner party", Ben states.

Sam nods, "that's right. Cultures all over the world believe that eating human flesh gives a person certain abilities- -speed, strength, immortality", he says.

"If you eat enough of it, over years, you become this less-than-human thing. You're always hungry", Dean says playing with a cloth in his hand.

Hailey sighs,

"So, if that's true, how can Tommy still be alive?", she questioned looking to Felix who frowned,
"More than anything, the Wendigos they know how to uh, last long winters without food. It hibernates for years at a time. When it's awake, it keeps its victims alive....", she paused, "it stores them so it can feed whenever it wants...if your brothers alive, it's keeping him somewhere dark, hidden, and safe", she says as Dean stood beside her.

"And we got to track it back there", Dean says but Hailey cut in,
"And then how do we stop it?"

Dean tilts his head with a scoff,
"Well, guns are useless- -so are knives", he walked around them holding some equipment to make torches,
"Basically, we got to torch the sucker", he smirked.

Felix placed the gun in the back of her pants looking over at Sam who looked exhausted,
"You okay?", she asked softly as Sam nodded. She kept quiet not wanting to force him to speak when he was not ready to.

"Hey Felix", she looked up at Sam who had a small frown,
"I'm sorry about before- -" she stopped him by suddenly wrapping her arms around him and giving him a reassuring hug,
"It's okay Sam", she said as he hugged her back. Dean raised an eyebrow at the fact his brother was hugging his girlfriend.

"Jealous", Hailey teased to which Dean scoffed walking away.
Felix pulled back from Sam,
"Let's do this", she says gazing at Dean who stood off to the side with a faraway look on his face. She approached him,

"Ready?", she asked seeing him nod. She tilted her head,

"You okay?", she stood in front of him. Hailey had been walking past and overheard her question, she smirked, "oh, he's just jealous", she smiled innocently and walked away receiving a glare from Dean.

Felix gazed at Dean grabbing his shirt and pulling him to her,

"Why are you jealous?", she stood on her tiptoes lightly kissing his neck, causing shivers to wrack through his body. He let out a soft moan, turned his head, and captured her lips, deepening the kiss. Felix pulled away with a smile,

"No need to be all jealous Dean. Can't fight for someone that's already yours", she stated seeing him give a nod. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze before catching up with the others.
