freaks come out at night, SPN, DISCONTINUED

064. "it tastes like a lizard."

Sam, Dean, and Daphne are sitting by a fire they built and roasting lizards. The brothers are sitting on logs, but Daphne is sitting on the ground so she can be closer to the fire. Dean takes a bite of his lizard, looking at Sam with a slightly impressed look on his face.

"No, no, no, don't tell me it tastes like chicken." Sam says, a disgusted look on his face.

"No, Sam, it's a lizard. It tastes like a lizard." Dean says. Daphne grimaces, not having any motivation to try a lizard, no matter how hungry she is.

"You know, we really gotta get moving, keep looking for that door." Sam says.

"Yeah, if there is a door." Dean says.

"Well, last time we opened one, it stayed open." Sam says.

"Yeah, for a few hours. We've been here for what, two days, in change? I mean, look, man, I hope you're right, I really do, but if you're not and we're stuck here in this freaking monster land? I mean, nobody back home even knows where to start looking for us."

"So what are you saying?" Sam asks.

"I'm saying eat up." Dean says. They hear growling and stomping. "That sound closer to you?"

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"What do you think it is?" Sam asks.

"Let's not find out." Dean says, the three running off. Dean runs back and grabs his lizard, running off again.

"Look, Dean, I don't think this is just a different world, I think it's a different universe." Sam says as they walk through the woods. It's nighttime and Daphne grips onto Sam's jacket, not wanting to get separated from either brother.

"Yeah, well, this universe sucks." Dean says.

"Yeah." Sam agrees.

They stop as Dean tries to get something off his boot.

"Shut up." Dean grumbles. They hear a noise, straightening up. "What was that?"

Daphne turns around, only to get knocked out by a hooded figure.

+++

The three are tied to three different trees.

"Sam. Sammy! Hey." Dean calls to his unconscious brother, the giant being the last one to wake up.

"What happened?" Sam asks.

The cloaked figure that attacked them walks up, standing next to a giant skull.

"Hey, yo! Darth Dickwad!" Dean calls. The figure bangs its spear twice on the skull before walking away. "The hell?"

"I don't think being a dick to it is gonna help any." Daphne says.

"Well, I'm not gonna ask how the person's day was." Dean retorts.

"What was that all about?" Sam asks.

"If I know anything from movies and shows... we're probably about to be sacrificed or... at the very least, just killed." Daphne says.

They hear growling. Dean looks around, noticing all of the bones scattered around the area.

"I think it just rang the dinner bell." Dean says.

+++

"Ugh, damnit!" Dean exclaims, struggling against the ropes.

"Guys, you hear that?" Sam asks, getting Daphne and Dean to stop struggling. Daphne freezes as the three hear footsteps. Dean's ropes are cut.

"Claire?" Dean asks.

"Hey, boys. Daph." Claire greets.

"My hero." Dean comments as Claire cuts Daphne free and Kaia frees Sam.

"Hey, how did you get here?" Sam asks.

"It's the door. It's still open." Claire says.

"For now." Kaia says.

"Where's Jack?" Sam asks.

"I think he's in the other place with your mom and kid." Kaia says. They hear the growling and footsteps grow closer.

"It's time to go." Claire says.

"Yeah, we gotta go. Come on." Sam agrees, ushering Daphne in front of him, the five running off.

"There!" Kaia yells out when she spots the rift. They run towards it, stopping just by it. Kaia turns, hearing a branch snap. The hooded figure hurls the spear at Claire.

Kaia pushes Claire out of the way, the spear impaling her. Claire stares at her with wide, heartbroken eyes, the others getting their angel blades out.

"Kaia." Claire whispers. Kaia reaches out, holding onto Claire's hand. As she dies, her hand falls limp and escaping Claire's.

The footsteps stop, the three hunters looking up at a huge monster with red glowing eyes and a face made out of rock.

"Holy, shit." Daphne whispers. "Okay, no, now I'm terrified." She quietly says, stumbling backwards until she's able to hide behind Sam.

Claire gets up and charges at the cloaked figure, but Dean grabs her arm.

"No, no, no! Claire! Come on, we've gotta go!"

"Go, go! Go, go, go!" Sam shouts, gently pushing Daphne closer to the rift.

They all run through the rift, returning to the ship. Claire gets out of Dean's grasp and she to the floor, sitting down. She turns to the rift which closes and disappears.

"No!" She cries.

Jody rushes in, gun aimed, lowering it when she sees it's just the hunters.

Jody rushes to Claire. She looks at the brothers who sadly shake their heads. Jody cradles Claire tighter, the girl quietly crying.

+++

"You know, I tried talking to her." Dean tells Jody as she walks the three hunters out.

"Yeah, she's, uh, she seems pretty shut down." Sam says.

"Claire's going to need a lot of time." Jody says.

"Well, um, when she is ready to hear it..." Sam says.

"You tell her thank you from us." Dean says and Jody nods with a smile.

"Jody, that rift was open for a while. More of those things may have come through." Sam tells her.

"Now we've seen some freaks, but over there it's a whole new world of bad." Dean says.

"Yeah, like... super super duper giant new." Daphne comments.

"We will handle it. Come on, you guys take care of the world. We got Sioux Falls covered." Jody assures.

"Damn right you do." Dean agrees.
