Killing Me Slowly (Third Book to the Secrets Will Kill You Series)

Safety Part 1

We brought the case back to our little cozy abandoned house and when we opened it...we found a big chunk of red clay inside. "That's a lot of fuss over a caveman lego" Dean commented as he got out the tool box.

"Yeah. Well, whatever Dick wants is bricked up inside that" Sam commented as Dean got out a mallet and we all put some goggles on. "Alright" Dean sighed and then slammed the mallet onto the clay.

But when he did...thunder sounded. We all looked at each other...outside...at each other...and then Dean hit the clay again. Lightning flashed this time with the thunder. "That sound like somebody saying, 'No, wait. Stop' to you?" Brit asked.

"Ummm yea" I answered.

"Yea...oh well" Dean shrugged and continued to hit the clay. Lightning and thunder continued in the sky. Yea, this was definitely a good idea.

I went over to the window to check out what was going on outside and I noticed with every slam the thunder got louder and the lightning got brighter and then...it seemed like the lightning ended up gathering together and just hitting one spot on the ground a few miles off.

"Dean, stop" I ordered and raced to him.

"What? It's done" he told me.

We all looked down at the broken clay and Brit lifted up some kind of stone tablet with some inscription written on. She held it out to me. "Can you read it?" she asked. I narrowed my eyes at her and then ripped it out of her hands.

"No, I can't read it" I snapped. "It definitely has a powerful energy inside it though...and it feels very familiar too"

"Well no use in trying to figure it out now" Dean said, stretched and then took my hand to lead me to where our sleeping bags were laying. We both laid down, set our heads on the cheap ass pillows we stole from the last motel we were at and I felt my eyes shut instantly as he wrapped his arms around me.

I felt a searing pain in my back and I shot my eyes open to assess the situation. I calmed down slightly when I realized it was just Dean digging his knee into my back...but I wasn't exactly able to move because he had his arms around my neck so it was almost as if he was doing the can opener into a pool while he was sleeping...and trying to kill me all at the same time. I started gasping for air...he really had a strong grip. But suddenly...he wasn't diving into a pool anymore...he grabbed my arms and pulled them back as he put his foot into my back and then he quickly switched positions and I think he was actually trying to put me in a real choke hold. I felt all the oxygen leaving my lungs and I couldn't get a good grip on his clothes.

Sam and Brit saw me flailing around and came racing over right as I was losing consciousness but before it happened, I managed to reach up over my head, grabbed him behind his neck and I flipped him over me. Now he was on his back and I got on top of him to hold him down. I lifted him up by the shirt and then punched his face back down into the wood floor just to make sure he was up now. Then I held him down by the shoulders.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I yelled in his face. He stared up at me in confusion and then up at Sam and Brit. "You almost killed me you jack ass!" I started to shake him and then I just stared into his eyes. He had no idea what I was talking about. And when I said those words to him...he looked like I was the one that just tried killing him. So I let go of his shoulders and Brit and Sam helped me to my feet.

"Get up" I ordered as I looked down at Dean. He stood. "Well?" I put my hands on my hips. He just stared at me like I was an abandoned puppy. "What was the dream that made you attack me like that?" I urged with attitude in my voice.
