Our Journey

✨✨Carlton House✨✨

Bill sat in his chair staring absentmindedly at the tv. His son Will approached,

"Hey, dad? You...you should probably eat something", there was a brief silence, "I'm gonna make some dinner, okay?", he says but Bill says nothing in response; Will walked off into the kitchen. While Will is in the kitchen he washes a fish in the sink he had caught. He leaves the sink water running and cuts up the fish. The pipe makes a gurgling sound and then the water turns brown. Will noticed and shuts the water faucet off. All of a sudden, the drain starts spewing black water and fills the sink. Will did not understand what was going on, so he rolled up his sleeve just as the water stopped filling the sink.

He puts his hand in the water and pulls out the plug from the drain. He inspects it but notices the water doesn't drain. Will decided to stick his hand back in the water but when he tried to take his hand out, something suddenly pulls him harshly into the sink. His head ends up in the sink, thrashing around and trying to get out but nothing worked. He drowns, his body stops thrashing and the water in the sink suddenly just disappears down the drain.

~~Back At The Motel~~

Dean was seated on the end of the motel bed, his hand massaging Felix's head as she rested in his lap. He shifted slightly clearing his throat,

"So that Andrea girl...seems like she got a thing for you", he said looking down to see a smile etch on her face.

"Is that jealousy I'm hearing", Felix sat up using her hand to push Dean to the bed, climbing on his lap. Dean scoffed, "Jealous, me...no...why? Should I be?", he raised an eyebrow. Felix smiled leaning down and pecking his lips but Dean grumbled turning her over till she was under him,

"Your mine, Lix", he kissed her neck. Felix laughed as he peppered her with kisses that is till the door opened and in walked Sam who raised an eyebrow at Dean,

"So, I think it's safe to say we can rule out Nessie", Sam says taking a seat beside them.

"What do you mean?", Dean asked.

Sam exhaled, "I just drove past the Carlton house. There was an ambulance there. Will Carlton is dead", he says.

"He drowned?", Felix questioned.

"Yep, in the sink", Sam states.

"What the hell? So your right, this isn't a creature. We're dealing with something else", Dean says looking over at Sam.

"Yeah, but what?", Sam looked to the floor.

"Could it be a water wraith? A demon maybe", Felix taps her thigh thinking, "It has to be something that controls water...water that comes from the same source", she says as the brothers nod catching on.

"The lake", they chorused, "which could explain why it's upping the body count. The lake is draining. It'll be dry in a few months. whatever this thing is, whatever it wants, it's running out of time", Sam says nodding.

"And if it can get through the pipes", Dean adds, "it can get to anyone almost anywhere. This is gonna happen again soon", Dean stands up.

"And we do know one other thing for sure", Sam says, "we know that this has got something to do with Bill Carlton".

"True", Felix states, "it now took both of his kids", she said.

"And I've been asking around, Lucas's dad, Chris- - Bill Carlton's, godson", Sam snarkily says.

Dean stood up as Felix put her shoes on, "Let's go pay Mr. Carlton a visit", she gets up and heads out the door.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Mr. Carlton?", Sam approached speaking gently, "We'd like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind", he looks to Dean who continued, "We're from the department- - -", Dean was cut off...

"I don't care who you're with", Bill quietly says, staring out at the lake with tears in his eyes, "I've answered enough questions today".

Sam exhaled, "Your son said he saw something in that lake. What about you? You ever see anything out there?", he stopped as Felix kneeled down in front of the man,
"Mr. Carlton", he looked down at her, "Sophie's drowning and Will's death- -we think there might be a connection to you or your family", she said softly.

Mr. Carlton sobbed,
"My children are gone. It's...It's worse than dying", he says looking away. Felix sadly nodded standing up.

"Go away...please", Mr. Carlton begged, gazing out at the lake.

Dean grabbed her hand gesturing for them to head back to the Impala. They stand out near the front of the house,
"So what do you guys think?", Sam murmured.

"I think the poor guy's been through hell", Dean says but Felix cuts in, " I think he's not telling us something", she looked up to the house.

"So now what?", Sam leaned on the Impala.

Dean noticed Felix's gaze was set on the house,
"Hey, babe. What is it?", he asked as she pulled out the drawing Lucas gave her,

"Maybe Bill is not the only one who knows something", she quietly says confirming the drawing is in fact; the Carlton's residence.
