Dean pulls the car up the beat-up gravel driveway to the gloomy abandoned farmhouse. To anyone else, this house may have seemed to be just an old farmhouse past it's prime, but to your family, it housed a Rawhead, which was a humanoid looking creature, that according to Irish legend, drowned 'naughty' children. Sam had found the case when he read in a local newspaper that children had been mysteriously disappearing. After spending about two days researching, you had found the rawhead legend, and found what you needed to kill it, electricity.

Dean shuts the car off and the growl of the engine dies off, making the night silent once again. All of you exit the car and walk around to the trunk of the Impala. Dean opens the trunk and removes three tasers that he had located before driving here.

"What do you got those amped up to?" Sam inquires, watching as Dean tinkers with the small but dangerous weapons.

"A hundred thousand volts," Dean replies, not bothering to glance up.

"Shit," your eyebrows raising in astonishment.

"Yeah," Dean finishes messing with the tasers and hands one to Sam and you, keeping one for himself "I want this Rawhead extra frickin' crispy. And remember, you only get one shot with these things. So make it count."

Sam and you nod your head simultaneously, if none of you got a good shot at this son of a bitch, you might be killed, or worse, more kids might be taken.

You slam the trunk shut, the sound echoing across the barren land surrounding you. You make your way to the run-down house, walking in line with your brothers. Dean pulls out his gun once he reaches the door, as do you and Sam. Dean proceeds to kick the door open and search the room for any threats before motioning for you and Sam to follow him in. Each of you pulls out a flashlight and then split up to search the house for any sign of the children or the Rawhead. You find yourself in the kitchen when you open a door to discover that it leads to the basement, "Hey," you call to your brothers. Both of them walk into the room and you nod to the descending steps which seem to dissolve into darkness about 6 steps down.

You lead your brothers down the stairs, pausing about half-way down when you hear a noise. You glance behind you to meet your older brother's gaze, he nods and you continue down the stairs, looking around for the source of the noise. The noise comes again, but this time louder and more pronounced. You stop at the foot of the stairs and look around when your eyes fall on a small cupboard in the corner of the room.

Sam, Dean, and you encircle the cupboard and Dean moves towards it. He then whispers, "1, 2, 3," before swinging the door open to reveal two children. One boy and one girl are crouched inside, covering their ears. They look up at all three of you, terrified.

Sam lowers his gun and bends down slightly, whispering, "Is it still here?" The children nod, both obviously still fearing for their lives.

You nod and then bend down, talking softly, "Okay, grab each other's hands," the kids lower their hands from their ears and reach for each other's hand, "Good, okay, we're gonna get you outta here and take you somewhere safe."

The kids stand and follow you and your brothers towards the staircase. Once there, you pick up the girl before heading up the steps. Sam follows you, leading the boy after him. Dean is still at the foot of the stairs, the Rawhead was still unaccounted for and he was watching all of your backs.

Suddenly, a hand comes from in between two of the spindles and seizes Sam's right leg, knocking him back. The children shriek, the boy runs to the top of the stairs and you hurriedly place the girl down and come to your brother's aid.

"Sam!" Dean cries, aiming his taser at the hand, but he misses, using up one of the three shots you had. Sam slowly gets up with your help, "Both of you get the kids outta here, I'll finish the son of a bitch off!"
