The Supernatural Symbol

10. The Burning

"I really like the new cover ❤ It looks great and suites a SPN fanfic well considering SPN is all about monsters and just in-general eerie and scary things. Although SPN can be very humorous and silly too ❤"

Before we begin, I would like to thank @NotSoLushLife for the supportive comment ^ up yonder. I love to interact with any people that read my story and I will mention you, if I already haven't in the next chapter. I will shout you and your comment you wrote on the previous chapter out in the newest chapter I will write. Once again, thanks for the helpful comment!

Cia's POV:

I let out a sigh as I check my watch. The boys have been out for over 30 minutes now. I sit still and look around outside a bit more. The clouds darken above, and rain starts coming down. I start to hear yelling coming from the trail. I squint and see Dean running towards the car, waving his arms and screaming at me. What on earth does he want. As he gets closer, his shouts become more clear; 

"GET OUT! GET OUT!" he yells, "SHE'S COMING!" I see the puddle Dean stepped in starting to bubble up, until the water had risen and formed a complete human shape. Two gunshots from Dean confirm the fact that the Lady of the River is coming to get me. Again. As she rises up to face me outside the car window, I back away to the other side of the car. As I turn to open the door and get out, the locks bolt into their sockets and I am left screaming and trying to kick the door open. I turn to the window again and now the spirit stands facing me, for a second time. Dean comes up behind her and shoots a bullet. She turns into mist as the bullet passes through her and the car doors unlock. But I know she wont be gone for long. 

"Come on, we need to get you out of here." Dean grabs onto my arm and takes me out onto the path. 

"Stay behind me." He holds out a hand, making sure I don't move from behind him.

"Wheres Sam?" I ask shakily. Dean reaches to open the trunk and he passes me a shotgun to use.

"He's salting and burning the body." he answers. An eerie white light comes from our left side as the ghost reforms looking more vexed than ever. She moves her hand forcefully to the left, throwing Dean onto the side of the path. I can see him trying to get up, but he seems awfully winded. My breaths start coming quickly, every step she takes forward I step back. I raise the shotgun and aim at her chest. 

"Anytime now, Sam." I whisper to myself. I shoot the spirit and she disappears into the mist again. She instantly reforms behind me moves her hand upward, flinging me onto a tree as she uses her forces to pin me there by the neck. As less blood travels to my brain I hear Dean shouting in the distance. Just as I am going to confirm to myself that it's all over, I see a orange light flicker and the ghost's feet. A small flame soon turns into a big one as the spirit is soon engulfed in fire, it's last screams echoing into the woods. I fall down from the tree, coughing and feeling dizzy. Dean gets up and rushes over to me, soon followed by Sam coming out from the trail in the woods. Sam gets my arms and helps me stand up. 

"Sorry for taking so long. The first match accidentally set the bush on fire so I had to put it out. Then I finally got to burning the body." Sam explains. I let out a quiet laugh. 

"What a close call." Dean states.

"A close call indeed." I nod. We all get in the car, drenched with rain for the second time now. I spend most of the time in the car thinking. Thinking about what would have happened in Sam hadn't burned the body in time, about where we'll go next, about if we'll meet any other hunters on our journey, how long we'll be at this, and much much more.

"So, anyone hungry?" Sam breaks the silence, "We can stop at the diner on the way back if you would like."

"NOOOO." Dean and I reply at the same time.

"I don't think I'll eat for days after this. After that bitch threw me to the ground I feel like all my organs have switched places." Dean shudders. 

"Ha, if you thought that was bad, just imagine how I felt thrown and pinned to that damn tree!" I say to Dean.

"I can't" he responds. We let out a laugh and go on about the crazy things that happened. We talk about never wanting to eat again since the Lady of the River. We chit chat until we get back to the house. It's not till I step through the door until the sensation hits me. Sam and Dean look at me with disbelief as I say,

"I'm hungry."

I hope that you guys enjoyed the final chapter of this hunt! Don't worry, there'll be more. I was thinking about writing about 3 different hunts in every book and I thought about making at least 3 or 4 books? Tell me if you like the idea or if I should do more or less or if you have any other ideas entirely. Next chapter is coming soon! Here's a little hint, there will be some girl tension and stuff in the next one that's coming up, and it's if you guys would like a bit more of a dramatic touch to the story. Please do carry on reading and stay alert for any new chapters that come out! If you have any suggestions for a hunt please tell me in the comments and I may consider writing about it! Love ya'll, -Tove
