TRAVELLER

Chapter 4

Jared seemed to turn the camcorder off and tilted the head of it down to the floor. I guess this was a sign that they weren't recording but if it was a prank show they would have cameras hidden everywhere anyway. I don't know how they thought they were pranking me or why it would make for good tv, but my brain was unable to come up with any other viable conclusion.

Jensen maintained a cool calculated complexion as Jared came behind the chair with a set of keys unlocking the handcuffs that I had forgotten about up until now. Now they felt like they had a vice-like grip on my skin chaffing even with the slightest movement. Once each hand was released I let them both swing back to my sides. As the pressure almost completely evaporated from my shoulders and wrists, a small sigh escaped. My muscles thankful for the release. The officer who had put on the cuffs originally had obviously been in a sour mood, already assigning me as guilty before I had even had a chance to clear my name. 

"Thank you," I said looking at each of the men in front of me, in turn, firstly at Jensen then to Jared as he walked back around to the opposite side of the table, to sit next to Jensen.

With a small smile, Jared pushed a bottle of water in my direction. I hadn't noticed them bring anything into the room. But to be fair I hadn't really paid much attention as to if they were carrying anything I was more pre-occupied with the knowledge that two of my favourite actors were not even 3 feet away from me.

As I picked up the bottle I licked my lips. Suddenly thirst was the only thing I could think about. I didn't know how long I had gone without a drink for, it must have been at least 24 hours if not longer by how dry my mouth felt. Not more than 5 seconds had passed before I had opened the cap and swallowed the bottles contents in its entirety. Placing the bottle back onto the table, I lifted my head so I was looking straight again, while both Jensen and Jared maintained blank expressions their eyes told something else. I wasn't sure but it seemed like a glint of relief.

A quick look between the two of them and they had decided on something or other. However, I was not expecting the withdrawal of a knife from Jensens Jacket. "Okay, what the fuck. Is going on?" I pushed my chair back my eyes flickering between them both. "Get away from me", I said sternly.

A softer look graced Jared face, it was not by much but it was noticeable. "Hey, hey. Just calm down were not going to hurt you"

I laughed it off "Yeah. Okay. Sure. You've just pulled a knife out on me. Not cool. Totally. Not. Cool". I couldn't figure it out why a prank show would ever allow a knife to be drawn (that looks completely real, and very sharp may I add) to scare the living shit out of someone. It sounds like a court case to me. 

"It's a test. We have to work out what you are. Or what you're not" before I could process what was being said Jensen grabbed my hand, extending my arm on the table and running the blade across my palm. Pain shot through me from both my muscles aching and the splitting of my skin, which caused a loud hiss erupting from my mouth. 

As soon as the blade had crossed the width of my palm Jensen let go of my hand, causing me to fall back into my chair. I took a moment staring at my bloody palm that now sat on my thigh. Well, that's just screwed my theory. There is just no way any Lawer would agree to allow the actual cutting of someone in real life for a tv show.

I think I've figured it out, I guess I should say:

'Goodbye, Jensen and Jared.'

'Hello, Dean and Sam.'  

Now how on earth do I explain this...

Sorry for the short chapters but I really wanted to update and I thought it was a good place to cut it off. Thank you for all the comments and advice from
