No Greater Love : Lost And Found

Chapter One

Just then there was a scream and Dean's head jerked over to where it was coming from and his eyes widened at the sight. A man leaped into the  air and pounced on a woman who had stepped out of the car same as Dean to see what was happening. He knocked her to the ground and started biting into her stomach. And then ripping and tearing. Dean swallowed hard and took a step back slowly, his eyes were full of terror as he watched.  People began to get out of their cars and run toward Dean away from the attack.

Dean stepped on the gas, his heart pounding in his chest from the terror of what he had just seen. He skidded the car into park outside the bunker a few hours later and got out as fast as he could.

Jenny got out and ran behind him.  "Wait, Dean!" She yelled after him. He stopped and faced her, the look of shear terror on his face. She could tell he was truly terrified by what they had just seen. To be honest she didn't blame him, but she hated seeing it cause if Dean was scared, that meant she should definitely be scared as well. "What the hell did we just see?"

Dean looked around, his expression was one of seriousness and worry. "I don't know. I mean I knew something like this was coming...but I...I didn't expect that." He swallowed hard, remembering the blood that seeped up from the woman's abdomen as the zombie dug its fingers into her while she was alive and then began to disembowel her. And the screams of terror around him as he watched her become one of them. The way her body jerked and bent and flenched and when she stood up the way she just attacked. "I've seen some crazy shit but that...that was...I've never seen anything like that." His voice was rough and he shook his head and turned and went into the bunker and she followed behind him, shocked about what he said.

"Sammy!" Dean called out as he made his way down the stairs. Sam appeared stepping out of the library and Jenny ran to him and threw her arms around him.

"Whoa." Sam said, sensing her fear. He placed a hand on the back of her head and held her body against his with the other.  He looked at Dean. "What happened?"

But it was Dean's expression that worried him. His brothers face was one of shock and terror and it scared Sam. He'd never seen that look on his brothers face before. Dean slowly sat in the chair at the table and stared into space. "I don't know. We were stuck in traffic...and uh...there was an explosion. I looked up and everyone was eating each other. It was like a domino effect. They'd attack and rip and shred and feed and then that person would turn and attack someone else. There was so much blood Sammy. Blood was everywhere.  People were dying all around us. I've never seen anything like it."

Sam's eyes were wide with fear and he swallowed hard as Dean spoke. "It's happening. Isn't it?"

Dean looked up at Sam but didn't respond. He didn't need to.

"It was awful." Jenny said and rested her head on Sam's chest.

"Well, we're safe in here." Sam replied.

"We have to find Cas." Dean said. And Sam narrowed his eyebrows at him.

"We can't go out there right now Dean. The world is not safe right now."

"I'm not staying here." His eyes shot up at Sam and he knew he wasn't kidding. "I need to find him. He's out there without his powers. He's literally all alone. Anything can happen to him and I can't...I can't lose him again Sammy." His voice trailed off and Sam sighed and looked at Jenny.

"He's right. We can't leave him out there like that." Jenny told him and Sam nodded slowly.

"Alright. But we need to head to the nearest convenience store right now. We need to stock the bunker and the trunk up with water and whatever food we can grab."
