You and Dean are sitting in the front of the Impala, listening to "Hot Blooded," when Sam starts to talk in his sleep;
"Jess... oh God...," you glance back at Sam and then look back at Dean, "I should have protected you. I should have told you the truth," then Sam jerks awake, blinking and rubbing his eyes.
You look back again, "Hey, you okay? You were talking in your sleep."
Sam looks at you and then out the window, "Yeah, I'm fine."
You nod, not really believing him, but letting it go, but Dean, on the other hand, doesn't, "Another nightmare?" Sam clears his throat, not responding, "You wanna drive for a while?"
Sam laughs, "Dean, your whole lie you never once asked me that, and you only let (Y/N) drive when absolutely necessary or she makes you sleep."
"Not true," you mumble.
"Just thought you might want to," says Dean, "Never mind."
"Look, guys you're worried about me, I get it, and thank you, but I'm perfectly okay," state's Sam.
"Yeah, sure," you say, then you mumble, "We haven't been okay since Mom died."
Sam reaches up from the backseat and grabs the map from your lap, "Alright, where are we?"
"We are just outside of Grand Junction," responds Dean.
"You know what?" says Sam, folding the map and tossing it back to you, "Maybe we shouldn't have left Stanford so soon."
"Sam, we dug around there for a week. We came up with nothing. If you wanna find the thing that killed Jessica.." you start.
"We gotta find Dad first," finishes Sam, you had held this conversation a few times over the past week, most occurring in the past 20 hours.
"Dad disappearing, and this thing showing up again after twenty years, it's no coincidence. Dad will have answers. He'll know what to do," says Dean.
"It's weird, man," sighs Sam.
"What?" you ask, turning to look at your younger brother.
"These coordinates he left us," says Sam.
"What about them?" asks Dean, glancing back quickly, then returning his eyes to the road.
"There's nothing there. It's just woods. Why is he sending us to the middle of nowhere?" Sam replies.
Dean drives the car past a sign the reads 'Welcome to Lost Creek Colorado National Forest,' "Well," you say, "We'll find out really soon." Dean continues the car down the road until he reaches a buliding labeled as the ranger station. Dean parks the car and all of you open the doors and step out. You walk to the building and open the door, holding for Sam and Dean. Once they're inside, you follow. Sam and you wander over to a 3D map of the forest, Dean walks off to look at the decorations.
"So Blackwater Ridge is pretty remote. It's cut off by these canyons here, rough terrain, dense forest, abandoned silver and gold mines all over the place," says Sam looking at you, you nod your head.
"Dean did you..." you trail off seeing Dean looking at a picture of a man standing behind a much larger bear.
"Guys. check out the size of this freaking bear!" Dean exclaims.
You and Sam walk over to Dean, "There are also a dozen or more grizzlies in the area. It's no nature hike, that's for sure," you say.
Suddenly another voice speaks and all three of you whip around, it's a forest ranger, "You three aren't planning on going out near Blackwater Ridge by any chance?"
