Dakota Elizabeth Winchester

Chapter 27: Nightmare Part 1

Dakota was fast asleep when someone started shaking her and she heard a mumbled voice saying her name. Assuming it was her current bunkmate, Dean, having a nightmare she reached over with her eyes still closed and smacked him.

"Ow!" Dean yelled.

"Shh! I'm tryin' ta sleep and your hitting me." She muttered before burrowing back into the covers.

"I wasn't hitting you! It was Sam." Dean explained.

Realizing she wasn't going to be getting anymore sleep, Dakota huffed and sat up in bed and saw her twin frantically racing around the room with no particular goal in mind.

"Um...Hey, Sammy? Whatca doing?" Dakota asked.

"We have to go!" Sam said as he began throwing random clothes into random duffle bags and backpacks.

"Go where?" Dean asked groggily while Dakota propped her elbows on her knees and dropped her head into her hands.

"We have to go! Now!" Sam repeated urgently.

Within a few minutes the very tired Winchester siblings were loaded into the Impala, Dakota and Dean still unclear where they were going. Sam told them about a premonition he had had about a man dying in his garage and that he saw the car and license plate number. Now, he was in the passenger seat on his phone, lying to some form of law enforcement to get information on the license plate and driver.

"Sammy, relax. I'm sure it was just a nightmare." Dean said.

Sam scoffed at that and Dean said, "I mean it. A normal, everyday, naked-in-class, nightmare. This thing wont checkout."

"What makes you so sure this is something, Sam?" Dakota asked leaning over the front seats.

"It felt different, like when I dreamed about Jessica and our old house." Sam said.

"Well, yeah, that makes sense. You're dreaming about our house, your girlfriend. This guy in your dream, you ever seen him before?" Dean asked. Sam shook his head.

"It is kinda weird. I mean, why would you be having premonitions about some guy in Michigan?" Dakota asked.

Just then, the person on the other end of the line started talking and Sam got the information he needed.

"How far are we?" Dakota asked.

"From Saginaw, Michigan? A couple of hours." Dean answered.

"Drive faster." Sam ordered looking dead ahead.

"Great. I'm going back to sleep wake me when we get there." Dakota said. She laid herself down across the back bench and pulled her headphones, turning on some quite music before dropping off to sleep.

..........

Dakota was curled up in the backseat of the Impala when all of a sudden she couldn't breathe. She woke with a start, her eyes shooting open only to find that it was just Dean pinching her nose to woke her up.

"Asshole!" She shouted.

"What? You said to wake you up when we got here." Dean said.

"Yeah, wake me up, not suffocate me!" Dakota complained as she watched Dean get out of the car, she noticed that Sam was already out on the sidewalk talking to the officers and neighbors. She sat up and Dean's leather jacket fell off of her lap. She didn't remember having it when she dosed off and decided that Dean must have put it over her in her sleep. She slipped the jacket on and went to join her brothers.
