The child of three

Wendigo part 4

Alison's Pov

"HELP ME!" I hear someone calling out "PLEASE!!!" It sounds again and I jump up, now wide awake. I see Sam shining around with a flashlight "HELP" It calls out again. Dean readies his gun "It's trying to draw us out" Dean and I say in unison "Stay cool, stay put" Dean adds "Inside the magic circle?" Roy asks "Yes, now shut up!" I reply "HELP!" it calls out "HELP ME!!!" it sounds again. It growls. Roy points his gun into the direction the sound is coming from. "Okay, that's no grizzly" Roy says "No shit, Sherlock!" I snap "Calm down, Ally. Now's not the time" Dean tells me "He's an asshole, he's been acting like a complete douche the entire time!" I exclaim "Honestly, I'm so sick and tired of that ninnyhammer. The wendigo can have him for all I care" I add. I honestly don't know where all the rage is coming from, but I feel like it's going to come bite me in the ass later. "Ninnyhammer?" Sam and Dean ask in unison "What the hell is a ninnyhammer?" Dean asks trying hard not to laugh. I look at him in disbelieve "It's......" I look around me and see the group staring at me "Nevermind. We have wendigo to take care of" I say 

"It's okay. You'll be all right, I promise." Haley says to her brother. Something rushes past us and Haley lets out a shriek. "It's here" Sam says stating the obvious. Roy shoots at the rustling and then shoots again. "I hit it!" he exclaims and goes to see what he's hit. "No, you moron, you just made it angrier!" I yell "Roy no, Roy!" Dean calls after the man, but said man just walks on to see his prize. "That fucking idjit doesn't know what he's getting himself into!" I say rolling my eyes. Dean looks at me "That's enough, Alison! What's gotten into you today?" Dean asks. I ignore the question "Don't move!" Dean says to Haley and Ben. Haley's holding a stick that's burning at one end as some sort of weapon. "Ally stay with them!" Dean says as him and Sam run after Roy. Me being me, I run after them. There's no way that I'm going to say here. "It's over here, in the tree!" Roy yells. The wendigo reaches down from the tree and snaps Roy's neck. "Roy!" Dean yells. I gasp at the sight, making my brothers look at me. I look back at them with a sheepish expression on my face. "Damn it, Alice. I told you to stay with Haley and Ben" Dean says

 Sam is sitting against a hollow tree stump, holding dad's journal and playing with a lanyard attached to it. Dean, Haley, Ben and I are by the tents. "I'm sorry, Dean. I should've listened to you." I mutter bending my head to look at my feet. "It's fine. You wouldn't be Alison Winchester if you would." He replied with a chuckle. "What's that supposed to mean?" I ask "That you can't help it, but I would appreciate it if you would listen to me next time." he tells me "But I wouldn't be Allison Winchester if I would" I mock him and he glares at me. "Okay. Next time I'll obey." I reply "That's all I'm asking" Dean says ruffling my hair. "I don't..." Haley starts, but breaks herself off "I mean, these types of things, they aren't supposed to be real." she finishes "I wish I could tell you different" Dean says "They are" I reply at the exact same time. Dean looks at me and shrug my shoulders. "How do we know it's not watching us?" Haley asks "We don't. But we're safe for now" Dean answers "How do you know about this stuff?" Haley asks. Dean looks at me, considering if we should tell them. I just shake my head. The less people know about this the better it is... for their own safety. "Kind of runs into the family" Dean replies. I lean against Dean and put my head on his arm, feeling more tired then I have ever felt. I let out a yawn. "Go to sleep, Ally" Dean says as he puts his arm around me. 

Sam comes over. "Hey" he says. Dean starts playing with my hair a little as he knows it'll calm me down and help me sleep. Suddenly Haley stands up. I look up at her, startled by the sudden movement.  "So we've got half a chance in the daylight. And I for one want to kill this evil son of a bitch." Sam tells us "Well hell, you know I'm in" Dean says. Sam and Dean look at me.  "Hell yeah, let's fucking kill that evil son of a bitch!" I say "Language!" Dean says and I stick my tongue out at him.

 Sam opens dad's journal on the Wendigo page and shows it to Ben and Haley. "'Wendigo' is a Cree Indian word. It means 'evil that devours'." Sam starts "They're hundreds of years old. Each one was once a man. Sometimes an Indian, or other times a frontiersman or a miner or hunter." Dean adds "How does a man turn into one of those things?" Haley asks. Dean picks a couple of things up from ground. "Well, it's always the same. During some harsh winter a guy finds himself starving, cut off from supplies or help. Becomes a cannibal to survive, eating other members of his tribe or camp." Dean explains "Like the Donner Party" Ben says "Cultures all over the world believe that eating human flesh gives a person certain abilities. Speed, strength, immortality." Sam goes on "And it does. If you eat enough of it, you become this less than human thing. A monster with a hunger that can't be stilled....ever." I tell them "If that's true... Than how can Tommy still be alive?" Haley asks. Dean looks from Sam to me and than back to Haley. "You're not gonna like it" Dean says "Tell me" Haley says "More than anything, a wendigo knows how to last long winters without food. It hibernates for years at a time, but when it's awake it keeps its victims alive. It...uh...it stores them, so it can feed whenever it wants. If your brother's alive, it's keeping him somewhere dark, hidden, and safe. We gotta track it back there. "How do we stop it?" Haley asks "Well,... guns are useless and so are knives. So basically...." Dean says as he holds up a can of lighter fluid, a beer bottle and the white cloth he picked up. "We gotta torch the sucker." he says "Burn baby burn" I add with a smirk.
