The Winchesters Sister

Wendigo Part 1

A week. Its been a week since Jessica died. Sam was asleep in the back seat while I was in the passenger seat. I was looking at a map when I suddenly heard Sam gasping as he woke up. I looked at him over my shoulder and saw him blinking and looking around. "Hey, you okay?" I asked. He gave a nod. "Yeah I'm fine." "Another nightmare? "Dean asked. Sam had been having recurring nightmares ever since Jessica's death. "You want to drive for awhile?" Dean asked. Sam chuckled. "Never once in you life have you asked me that."

"Just thought you might want to." Dean muttered. Sam let out a small sigh. "Look guys... you're worried about me, I get it, and thank you, but I'm okay, really. He assured us. "Mmmhm sure." I said turning back around facing the front.

I looked at the map, then the coordinates, that pointed to the middle of nowhere. "Alright right, so where we?" Sam asked. "Just outside of grand Junction," I answered. "You know what maybe we shouldn't of left Stanford so soon." Sam said. "Sam we dug around for a week, " Dean stated. " If you want to find the thing that killed Jess-" "We gotta find dad first." Sam mumbled. "Dad disappearing and thing thing showing up again after 20 year, its no coincidence. Dad will have answers. He'll know what to do." I said. Dean looked at me and laid his hand on my head. He thought I was being brave, I had taken it really hard when dad left, but Dean was always there for me.

I looked back down at the map. "Its weird. These coordinates dad left us. This is Blackwater Ridge." Dean glanced at me and then back on the road. "What about it?" He asked. I looked around the location, "There's nothing there. Its just woods." I stated. Sam leaned forward and looked at the map in my hands. "Why is he sending us into the middle of nowhere?" Sam asked. Me and Dean both shrugged.

Right then we passed a sigh saying "Welcome to Lost Creek Colorado". We arrived at what appeared to be the ranger station. We went inside and looked around. "So Blackwater Ridge is pretty remote," Sam said as he and I looked at a 3D map of the national forest, we where paying particular attention to the ridge labeled "BLACKWATER RIDGE".

"Its cut off by these canyons here, rough terrain, dense forest, and abandon silver gold mines all over the place."

"Guys check out the size of this freaking bear," Dean muttered. Sam and I looked over and looked at it, there was a man with a big dead bear. "AND a dozen or more grizzlies in the area. Its no nature hike, that's for sure," I said.

"You three planning on going out by Blackwater Ridge by any chance?" A male voice asked behind us and we turned around to a ranger. "Oh no sir, we're environmental majors from UC Boulder, just working on a paper." Sam replied to the man. "Bull." The ranger said. My eyes widened and Sam and I looked at each other then back to the ranger. "You're friends with that Haley girl, right?" The ranger asked. I closed my eyes, letting out a small sigh. "Yes, yes we are, Ranger....Wilkison." Dean replied.

"Well I'll tell you exactly what I told her. Her brother filled out a backcountry permit saying he wouldn't be back till the twenty-fourth, so its not exactly a missing persons now, is it?" Ranger Wilkison said. Dean shook his head. "Tell that girl to quit worrying, I'm sure her brothers just fine."

"We will." Dean assured and then licked his lips before letting out a small smirk, "Well that Haley girl's quite a pistol huh?" "That is putting it mildly." Ranger Wilkison answered, letting out a small chuckle. "Actually you know what would help is if I could show her a copy of that Backcountry permit." Dean Said. "You know so she can see her brother's return date."

Surprisingly, that worked. As we headed out, Dean laughed in victory and I shook my head. "What, are you cruising for a hookup or something?" Sam asked annoyed. "What do you mean?" Dean asked. "The coordinates point to Blackwater Ridge," Sam stated. "So what are we waiting for? Lets just go find Dad. I mean why even talk to this girl?"

The three of us stopped next to the Impala. Dean gave a small shrug, "I don't know, maybe we should know what we're walking into first." He said.

I stared t Sam, frowning. I knew he felt my eyes on him. He clenched his jaw and looked at me. "What?" He asked, irritated. I gave him a look, "Since when are you all shoot first ask questions later anyway." I questioned. This time, he gave me the look, "Since now." And with that he climbed into the passenger seat of the Impala.

After we found Haley's house, Dean pulled the car at the front. He turned to me, "Stay here," He ordered. After they both climbed out of the car with their ID badges, and walked up to the house.

THIRD PERSON POV

Jamie looked out the window as Sam and Dean knocked on the door. A young girl opened the the door and looked between the brothers. "You must be Haley Collins. I'm Dean this is Sam, we're ah rangers with the Park Service. Ranger Wilkison sent us over. He wanted us to ask a few questions about your brother Tommy." Dean said.

Haley hesitated. "Lemme see some ID," She said. Dean pulled out a fake ID with the name 'Samuel Cole' and hold it up. Haley looked at it, then at Dean, who smiled. Haley opened the door. "Come on in," She said. "Thanks," Dean said. The door swing open; Haley caught a sight of the Impala and Jamie. "That yours?" Haley asked about the car. "Yeah," Dean said with a smile. Sam was looking back at the Impala and his little sister, who looked a bit bored inside the car. "Nice car," Haley complimented and she looked at Jamie. "Who's the little girl?" She asked. Dean and Sam looked back Jamie. Sam looked at Haley. "Our little sister," Sam said. She can come in too," Haley said. Sam and Dean looked at each other a moment, then Sam looked back at Jamie and waved his hands inviting her in. Jamie got out of the car and ran over to them. Sam put his arms around her shoulders as Haley smiled at the girl. "Hey," Haley said. "Hello," Jamie said with a smile. "Come in," Haley said. She led Jamie, Sam and Dean into the kitchen.

"So if Tommy's not due back for a while, how do you know something's wrong?" Sam asked. Haley came back into the room with a bowl she placed on the table. "He checks in every day by cell. He emails, photos, stupid little videos . . . we haven't heard anything in over three days now," Haley said. "Well, maybe he can't get cell reception," Sam suggested. "He's got a satellite phone, too," Haley said. "Could it be he's just having fun and forgot to check in?" Dean suggested. "He wouldn't do that," Haley's little brother, Ben, said. Dean eyed on Ben and Ben looked away. Haley put more food on the table. "Our parents are gone. It's just my two brothers and me. We all keep pretty close tabs on each other," Haley said. "Can we see the pictures he sent you?" Sam asked. Haley nodded, "Yeah." Haley pulled up pictures. "That's Tommy," Haley said.

Haley opened the latest video. "Hey Haley, day six, we're still out near Blackwater Ridge. We're fine, keeping safe, so don't worry, okay? Talk to you tomorrow," Tommy said. I spotted a shadow flicking past. I frowned. Sam and I looked at each other that we saw the same thing. "Well, we'll find your brother. We're heading out to Blackwater Ridge first thing," Dean said."Then maybe I'll see you there," Haley said. Me and my brothers gave her the same look of confusion. "Look, I can't sit around here anymore. So I hired a guide. I'm heading out in the morning, and I'm gonna find Tommy myself," She said. "I think I know how you feel," Dean said. "Hey, do you mind forwarding these to me?" Sam asked. "Sure," Haley said.
