THE ELYSIAN FIELDS HOTEL
[ ☾]

A dark car pulls into the parking lot. We are in Muncie, Indiana. A security Guard walks up to the hotel lobby doors from outside, by the light of a car's headlights. Using keys he unlocks the lobby doors and enters, using a flashlight as light. The hotel itself is dark. There are sheets and drapes covering most of the furniture, as though this building has not been in use for some time. Sounds of clanging startle the Guard.

"Hello?" As the Security Guard passes, a small potted plant that was once withered begins to return to life. "Hello?" A loud bang startles the Security Guard once again.

As he turns around he witnesses a shattered mirror slowly returning to its original (unbroken) form. There is a metallic clang and he gasps. "Hiya." A dark figure says.

"Buddy, you can't be here." The Guard says.

"Course I can. Someone's got to get everything ready. They're coming—all of them. And we've each got our part to play. Even you."

"What?" Asks The Guard.

"You're dinner."

"Aaah!" There is a crunch as the Security Guard continues to scream. 

ELYSIAN FIELDS HOTEL LOBBY
[ ☾]

A bell dings, thunder crashes. The Impala parks in front of the hotel lobby at an angle. Sam and Dean enter the lobby, soaked and gasping. Elena is still on an absence leave, leaving the boys to cause trouble without her. Lounge music plays. "Whew. Nice digs, for once. Busy night." Dean says.

"Any port in a storm, I guess." Chad the Attendant chuckles. "If you could just fill this out, please."

"Yeah." Dean says.

"Sir, I think... Shaving nick there." Chad hands Dean a tissue. "Your key."

"Oh. Thanks. Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a coffee shop, would you?" Dean asks.

"Buffet. All you can eat. Best pie in the tri-state area."

"You don't say?" Asks Dean.

The Bachelors' "You Know You Know (I Love You)" plays as Dean Samples pies. "Heaven, right?" A Man asks Dean.

Dean scoffs. "Trust me, pal... better." He sees a Woman sitting alone. "How you doing?"

"No." She says.

"But—" Dean starts.

"No." She repeats.
