The Supernatural Symbol

6. Lady of the River

"So I searched up any recent deaths by that river over the past 10 years, apart from the high school boys of course, and there was this one result; Teenager Catherine Hogan drowned by her jealous ex boyfriend in Clearwater River by the woods." Sam looks up from his computer to Dean and I. 

"Apparently, the body was never found." he adds. "The teenagers of the town say that Catherine's ghost haunts any teenage boys that come near the river at night. They call her 'The Lady of the River'. Hmm."

"So if this Catherine Hogan really is the thing that's killing these guys," I say as I pace around the room, "then we'll have to find her body ourselves since the police never found it in the first place." 

"And then we'll salt and burn it." Dean concludes. 

"Should we head back down to the river then?" Sam suggests.

"Sure, lets go." Dean says.

"Hold up." I stop them, "I need to get some lunch first. Lets stop at the Drink n Dine."

"Come on, let's just go, we can eat later." Dean complains. I sneak his car keys from his pocket and walk to the door.

"Nothing gets in the way of me and my food," I say, "and besides, you wont be going anywhere without these." I stand in the doorway and jingle the car keys. Looking surprised that I have his keys, Dean pats his pockets expecting to find his car keys there as I walk outside. Sam shrugs at him and follows me out the door. 

"Such a savage." he shakes his head and laughs quietly. Dean follows us out, muttering under his breath. I drive us to the Drink n Dine and I order a tuna panini with orange juice as soon as we sit down. Hungry as hell today for some reason. The brothers order their food and we wait in silence for a while before the food arrives. Finally, I break the silence,

"You still mad at me for stealing your keys?" I smirk at Dean. 

"No, I just didn't know you could do things like that." he says.

"Like what? Stealing keys?" I laugh, "Trust me, I've stolen way more than just keys." Our food finally arrives and I dig in as soon as the plate lands on the table in front of me. Dean stares at me and watches as I munch on my tuna sandwich.

"What?" I say with my mouth full, "Never seen someone eat before?"

"No, I - " Dean starts but then Sam cuts him off,

"Don't worry about him, he tries to hit on every girl he meets." he laughs, "But fails like a bitch." he adds more quietly. I giggle a bit and Dean gives him a crack on the head. Sam slaps him back in the face. I let them quarrel a bit but then halt them after a while.

"Alright guys, enough now," I shift my eyes to the waitress watching us from the side, "we don't want to get kicked out." I say more quietly with clenched teeth. After eating we head out to the car. I throw Dean's car keys back to him and we drive up to the trail. He brings up the same topic as last time we came here,

"So.. I still don't understand how you've never had a boyfriend.." he looks at me as we're walking. I let out an annoyed sigh,

"I just haven't had one. Simple as that." 

"It can't be possible though," Dean says confused. 

"Well it is." I say.

"God damn it Dean, just give the girl a break." Sam intervenes. I speed up and walk a bit further in front of the boys. Sam catches up to me.

"I think my brother likes you." he says.

"PFFFT," I laugh, "why would he be interested in me? Besides he's too old for me anyway." 'You're more my type.'  WAIT WHAT? DID I JUST THINK THAT? No way. I don't have a crush on Sam do I? I cant! But he is attractive. STOP IT. Oh my God. We reach the end of the trail and find the river. Dean gives us instructions to search the river,

"Alright. Lets split up and search different areas of the river again. Lets search a bit further up this time because that's where we found the last body."
