The Life of a Hunter (Supernatural)

Chapter 8

We stopped at a motel for a few hours when we got tired but were on the road again soon after. The drive was uneventful and a full 24 hours later we were back in the town I grew up in. Dean got down and paid for three rooms with two beds each. He walked out of the lobby, slung his arm around my shoulders and tossed Sam and Sabrina a room key each. "Split up however you guys want, each room has two beds." He stated, after exchanging some looks Sabrina and Cas went to one room and Sam went alone to his. Before Cas left he promised he would check everywhere for any sign of demons or Dani.

After we all had showered and changed we headed into Sam's room. Sam was sitting on one bed while Cas was next to Sabrina on the other bed. Dean sat next to Sam and pulled me onto his lap, smiling slightly. I turned to Cas, "so what did you find?" He sighed before answering, "there are a couple different places with angel warding. I suspect he did this to throw us off, three of the high schools have a warded building and there is also an abandoned furniture store and two abandoned houses." Sabrina looked as worried as I felt, "okay we have to split up then." I started, "um Sabrina, Sam, and I can be substitute teachers and you," I turned to Dean, "and Cas can search the abandoned places." "I can be a sub for a gym teacher though," Dean protested, "I'm really good at it! "Oh no, not again. You purposely hit a kid with a dodgeball. In the stomach." I retorted. "Please, I didn't throw it that hard." I shook my head then realized everyone had stopped talking and was watching our little exchange. "Uh, anyway, since it's still early let's try one of the houses," Sam suggested. We all agreed and piled into the impala.

The house was a couple blocks away and after showing us what the angel wards looked like Cas stayed in the car while Sabrina and I grabbed spray paint cans, along with guns, salt rounds and holy water, from the trunk. Dean and Sam were already inching into the house, Sabrina went one way while I went the other, destroying the signs until a heard a soft, familiar wing beat. I pocketed the spray can and caught up with Dean, who was checking upstairs while the rest of our group was downstairs. After searching the entire house, the garage, and the shed we concluded that Dani wasn't here so we drove back to the motel and decided to hit up the schools tomorrow.

I woke up with my face in the crook of Dean's neck and his arms around me. I pecked his cheek and slid out of his grasp. I got ready and changed into black jeans, a nice teal top and black heels. I woke Dean up and told him he had to drive us to our different schools. He dressed quickly and soon everyone was in our room. "At each school the building that is warded is near the... uh..." Cas started, "the track, where you can run." Sabrina smiled at him, "so the sheds near the track fields?" she questioned, earning a nod is response.

We all climbed into the impala, minus Cas, and were dropped off at our schools. I went to the teachers lounge after telling the bored looking, silvery haired woman at the front desk that I was called in because a teacher needed a substitute. She told me the room number and subject and when the class started. Upon entering the teachers lounge I heard a familiar English accent. I froze and saw Crowley across the room, talking to someone else. I ducked out of the room before he saw me and rang Dean. "Dean, he's here. Crowley's here I think he's a sub as well." I said quietly, "okay I'll call everyone and pick them up just stay out of his way for now." I agreed then headed to my assigned class, which wasn't hard to find as this was the high school I went to. Once all of the periods before lunch had finished I got a text from Dean that they were coming in through the side gate and I told them where the track field was.

I met them there in minutes and Sabrina tossed me a spray can while Sam handed me a gun, salt rounds and holy water. We stalked up to the equipment shed and again Sam and Dean went in first with Sabrina and I following closely behind. Once the door closed a light flickered on, "Hello boys, I see you've brought some friends." Our heads snapped to Crowley in the corner, standing next to a beaten and bloody Daniela. I crossed out an angel ward on the wall and Sam crossed out the other, me quickly moving to Dean's side and Cas soon appearing right behind Dean who muttered a quiet, "Cas, space." Cas moved back but then reached out in time to prevent Sabrina from running to Dani, also taking the gun out of her hand that was pointed at the King of Hell. Crowley snickered, "moose, squirrel, why haven't you introduced me to your new lady friends yet?" A wicked grin spread across his face as he stepped away from Daniela and toward us, extending his hand. "Crowley, king of Hell, and you are?" He stopped at me first, I stood tall and looked him in the eye, not putting out my hand. "I'm Sianna, that's Sabrina. What do you want with Daniela?" I demanded, my voice was cold and angry. "Ooh, a feisty one. Well, you see, I actually need something from the three musketeers here," he stated, gesturing to the boys, "and I decided this would get their attention more than a phone call. Don't you think?"

I moved forward to slap the smug look off of his face but Dean wrapped his arm around my waist and shot me a look that clearly said it would be a bad idea. I let out my breath in a huff and took a small step back. Crowley broke his staring contest with Castiel and looked my way, the corners of his mouth twitching up again, "good girl. Stay," he said, amusement lacing his voice, "Dean keep your little whore under control." That was it, "no one talks to me that way you bastard!" I snarled at him as I pulled out my gun and stepped away from Dean so I could get a better shot. I had just cocked the gun when I went flying into the track hurtles, the gun getting knocked out of my hand. Dean raced to my side but he was looking a bit fuzzy. I steadied myself with one hand and gingerly touched my throbbing shoulder with the other, the hand coming away slightly bloody. "Should've listened darling," Crowley stated. "Anyway, somehow little prophet boy has escaped and he trusts you numbskulls so you are going to fetch him for me, how about that?"

"What if we don't? What's in it for us?" Sam asked, "well your little friend here." Crowley gestured to Dani, "will be let go and Kevin won't be punished, too harshly. I'll even let the little loud mouth over there can get away without any further injuries." He shot me an annoyed look and I looked back at him with as much venom as I could manage, "so what do you say boys?" Dean left my side and started getting closer to Crowley, Sam did as well. I was worried they would give Kevin away until they pulled out familiar looking handcuffs. The ones with the engravings that demons couldn't escape from, "miss these you son of a bitch?" Dean questioned before splashing him with holy water, "never speak to my girlfriend like that again." He growled, Sabrina and I ran to Daniela, freeing her from the chair she was tied to. She had a large cut across her stomach and other smaller ones littering her body as well as dark purple bruises blossoming on her exposed skin. Her breathing was shallow, "Cas!" Sabrina called, "heal her!" The angel came over and gently placed a hand on her head, she was healed almost instantly. Sabrina turned to thank him but he looked weak so she helped him walk while Sam carried Dani and I led Crowley out by his chains, Dean's hand in my free one.
