Seal of the Betrayed

A Trap Inside a Trap Inside a Trap

Ch. 18

Dean and Sam Winchester sat in their motel room silently. Their cell phones sat on the coffee table in front of them as they waited for the call. They were in Red Cloud, Nebraska; a town of just barely 1,000 people. They were there after three deaths were reported, all sharing the distinct trait of the victims' hearts being missing. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what was going on. After Castiel had told them holding up at Bobby's was not their best bet for avoiding Michael and Lucifer, the two Winchesters had gone back to what they did best, hunting down and killing as many monsters as they could find.

They had a pretty good idea who the werewolf was and now they just waited. Bobby was perched outside the local college professor's residence as they waited for word he was on the move. So far they had yet to see any kind of sign of either demonic or angelic presences on their trail but they remained on edge. Percy said it was only a matter of time and Dean didn't really doubt it. They weren't exactly the most inconspicuous mortals in the world.

Before he could think any more on the subject, Dean's cellphone began to vibrate on the table in front of him. He looked at it to see a text message from Bobby. The message was short and simple.

Confirmed and on the move heading west from home.

Dean stood up, "We got to move." He said as he let the clip fall from his gun, double checking the silver ammunition as his brother did the same.

The two Winchesters jumped in the Impala and headed for the west part of town, the spot where all three victims had disappeared from. It only took fifteen minutes to reach their destination as they saw Bobby's car pulled onto the curb down a side street. Dean parked the Impala behind Bobby's ride and waiting as Bobby's driver's side door swung open.

He approached the Impala as Dean lowered his window.

"He took off into the park a few minutes ago, let's move."

Dean climbed out of the Impala as Sam did the same, both with their pistols in their hands as they followed Bobby into the park. The trio walked for several minutes before Bobby froze.

"Do you hear that?"

The screams of a woman could be heard in the distance before they took off at a sprint in the direction they were coming from. The ran for a few minutes before a woman burst through the tree line, running straight into Bobby making them both crash roughly to the ground.

Before either Sam or Dean could react, a second figure came barreling out of the woods, running straight through the two Winchester brothers and knocking them both to the ground.

Dean looked up to seeing a wolfish looking man stopped over Bobby and the woman before he looked around at both Dean and Sam before letting loose a roar of outrage.

Dean jumped to his feet only to be backhanded hard, sending him flying into a nearby tree where his gun dropped from his hand.

Sam managed to get a shot off, grazing the werewolf in the shoulder as it yelped in pain. Before he could get another shot off, the monster smacked his weapon free and pinned him to the ground. The creature barred its fangs as it prepared to feast on the younger Winchester's flesh.

Before it could bite, the wolf was pulled backwards. The woman who had been running from it had grabbed the creature by the head before she snapped its neck in one fluid motion, ripping its head clean off its body.

Sam, Dean and Bobby slowly climbed to their feet looking at the woman in shock. She turned towards them with a smirk on her face.

"Hello boys. I thought you might show up to save the day." She said as her eyes flashed black.
