You wake up to the annoyingly shrill cry of your alarm clock, only to notice that You've slept through it. For twenty minutes.
"Crap!" You hiss and leap out of bed to your closet. You'll have to skip a shower today. You pull on your lifeguarding shorts and shirt before racing to the bathroom. You hastily apply eye makeup, brush your teeth and run a comb through your hair before sweeping it up into a ponytail. You grab a granola bar and a bottle of water before grabbing your phone and purse. You sprint out the door to your car.
Turning out of the subdivision where your apartment lies, You get on the road to work.
When you get stopped at a red light,you take a moment to wolf down the granola bar. Glancing to your right, you see a black 1967 Chevy impala with two men inside. It's a beautiful car, the kind You've always wanted. Too caught up in admiring the car, you don't notice the light change to green. The car behind you honks, and You step on the gas. The Impala leaves your mind.
Fifteen minutes later, You arrive at the rec center, where you work as a lifeguard. It's a great job, and the pool was just built months ago. Plus all the guys are really cute. Especially Josh. He's blonde, blue eyes, and 175 pounds of pure sexiness. He's really nice and funny. You've got a major crush on him and so does your friend and fellow lifeguard Jessica.
However, weird things have happened here. In the last four weeks, three lifeguards have drowned. Just dove in to help a patron, it swim some laps, and just died. Some say the place is haunted, but You don't believe in that Supernatural crap.
You walk to the break room and immediately see that Jessica is sitting at the table where we usually eat lunch and giggle about Josh. She's sobbing. Your stomach gives a lurch and You run over to her.
"Jess, what's wrong?" You say grabbing her hand.
"It's J-Josh. He... He...."
"What is it Jess?"
"Josh drowned!" She says sobbing. You start to cry as well. How could this have happened? Josh is really athletic and can beat anyone at swimming.
"He jumped in to help this kid, and he just... Drowned. No head or spine injury. He just died. How the hell does this keep happening?"
"I don't know."
Later that day, the pool is still open for business, despite all out protests. You're sitting at a lifeguard stand, watching the few patrons who dared to come swim. You're fighting tears every second.
"Excuse me? You know where I can find a managers office?" You look to your left and see the most handsome guy you've ever seen in your life. He's got these green eyes that stop your breath, and short brown hair. His chest, visible under a t-shirt and leather jacket, is even more defined than Josh. You're at a loss for words, when suddenly You come to your senses and realize You must be gaping at him like an idiot.
"Um, yeah, of course! Is there a problem?" You ask, sliding down from the podium.
"Well, I actually wanted to ask someone about what happened to my cousin, Josh, this morning?" The guy says.
"Oh, um, yeah. You're Joshes cousin? He never mentioned you. What was your name again?" You ask
"I didn't tell you yet. It's Dean. Dean Winchester." He says, holding out a hand. He keeps smiling at you and looking you up and down, grinning. You blush and hold out your hand.
"Y/N" You shake his hand and then notice a man beside him. "Who's your friend?"
Dean glances over and says with a smile, "oh this guy? He's just my kid brother Sammy."
"I'm NOT your "kid brother"," Sammy says with exasperation. He's as handsome as his brother, but with longer hair and he seems to be annoyed. "Now how about you quit flirting with the poor girl and we find what we're looking for okay?"
Dean glares at his brother and turns to you. "Do you know of anyone who witnessed the drowning?"
"I think my friend Jessica might have. But she's a little shaken right now."
"Maybe we could just talk to you then," Dean suggests with a coy smile.
"Sure." You signal Angela over to take over your watch and walk over towards the snack bar with Sam and Dean following. You slide into a booth and they slide in across from you.
"So, what are you boys wanting to know?"
"Have you witnessed any of the drownings? There have been four right?" Asks Sam.
"Yeah. There's been four. Um, I was her for the first two but I was at home during the third and coming to work during the first." You respond.
"And on all the victims, there was no injury right? They just died?" Askes Dean. You respond with a nod.
"It's really weird. Everyone thinks there's something almost supernatural going on here."
"Have you notice anything unusual? Weird noises? Smells?" Sam questions you.
You think about it for a minute. Before you can give an answer, you heard Jessica screaming at the top of her lungs. You race over, Dean and Sam on your tail.
"What's wrong?" You shout.
"That kid! Something just freaking grabbed him!" Jess screeches.
Without a second of hesitation, you get ready to dive. Sam grabs your arm and yells "No!"
Dean strips off his leather jacket and dives in. Wrenching your arm out of Sam's grip, you struggle to see what's going on. Dean comes up gasping for air. He yells something to Sammy before he is seemingly drug under the water. You scream and drop your sunglasses. Jess pleads with you to not jump. "You'll end up like Josh!"
Ignoring her warning, you plunge in to save the kid. You pull him out of the deep water, and hand him to Sammy. You dive back down for Dean.
