Into Darkness (Supernatural)

XXIV - Siren Search

XXIV – Siren Search

After some consultation from Bobby, we get closer into figuring out the monster of the case. Currently, we're pointed in the direction of a Siren. Nasty creatures who disguise themselves as beautiful women to seduce their prey, which is (obviously) men. They can also mind-read, so whatever the man desires, they transform into that perfect woman. It's a dangerous ability in the hands of a creature like that.

We're still waiting on how to kill a Siren. The boys looked to me as if I'd know. ("My knowledge only goes so far, you guys.")

Another kill happens. Sam and I go check it out, leaving behind at the motel room.

"You okay, Vera?" he asks me.

"I'm good."

"First case not so bad?"

"No." I keep my eyes out the window.

"Wait until we get to fight the Siren."

I put my fist to my mouth in thought.

"You sure you're okay, Vera?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" I look at him now, curiously.

"Well, it's just—you've been a bit squirrely since we went to search for answers at the hospital."

"I nearly died, Sam. That place...it reminded me of how human I am. I had things stuck in me that I didn't know what they were. I couldn't heal myself back into top health." I exhale.

"Something tells me it's more than just that. You can tell me." There's a pause. "Do you have something against Doctor Roberts?"

"Where did that come from?" I question.

"It's just...when we were talking with her, your demeanor changed. You got a little...I don't know...tense."

"You seemed to be having a jolly good time with her."

"Wow, Vera."

"What did I say now?"

He chuckles. "Wow, I didn't even think..." He rubs his forehead, keeping one hand on the wheel. I have faith he won't crash us—Dean would revive us to kill us both, he'd told Sam to take care of Baby (which I now know is the car). "Are you...jealous of her, Vera?"

"I'm not jealous of her. The way you fawned over her..." I look away. "It kind of puts a damper on our first kiss. Or did that not happen in your mind?"

Sam's cheeks tint pink. "It happened. We were both there."

"It just...I know there's no official title on us, but...It got me wondering where we're going. I mean, there's clearly chemistry." Our past secret kissing sessions have fully proved that.

"You gonna bite my head off if I talk to other girls?"

"I don't eat human flesh, I'm not a cannibal." I cross my arms. "Besides, that wasn't talking, Samuel. That was something more than just 'talking'."

He sighs. "I'm sorry you got that impression."

"It wasn't an impression; it's fact. You're into her."

"You really got to rein this in. It's not a good look on you."

"For the record, this isn't my first case with you brothers. My first with you was the witch hunt."
