The Hell Girl [3] - Fire In The Family

Chapter 10 - Hope Is Near

Motel

Amber's Pov

"So what do you think it is again?" I asked as I was looking through some articles on my laptop.

"We think it might be a werewolf. Police say that both kills were animal attacks but they were killed in their house with locked doors and no sign of forced entry." Sam said

"Yeah that sounds like a wolf," I said as I continued to look through the articles.

"Wait I think I found something," I said. Dean walked over and looked over my shoulder.

"Turns out both victims, about 10 years ago had a completely different life then they do now," I said. "Almost as if something happened that turned around everything and they got what they wanted. And the last couple of days before they died, their friends and family had said they acted weird"

"So you're thinking, hellhounds, not werewolves," Dean said.

"It sounds like it. I mean it could be. Hellhounds can get to there target on way or another." Sam added.

"But how are we gonna help these people? It's not actually the easiest thing to save people from." I said.

"Well, first we find out if there are more that made a deal back then. Then we find a way to save their stupid ass." Dean said.

Victims House

Amber's Pov

A few hours later we found out that there was one victim left. It was pretty late so we didn't have much time. We were on the way over there now.

"What was her name again?" I asked.

"Her name is Jessica Johnson. 10 years ago she was homeless. Now she basically lives the perfect life." Sam explained. 

"So, she sold her soul for the apple pie life?" I asked. 

"Yeah. She lives with her husband Paul." Sam added.

"Okay let's go check it out," Dean said as he got out of the car, me and Sam following.

We walk up to the front door, about to knock when we see that the lock was broken. Someone had broken in. We all took out our guns and slowly made our way inside. We split up, Sam going upstairs and me and Dean downstairs. Dean walked into the kitchen, while I made my way into the living room. I walk in and see a man on the floor. I assume it's the husband but as a hunter, you could never be too sure. 

"Dean! In here!" I yell to Dean. He quickly joins me in the living room. He walks over to the man to check if he's alive. 

"He's alive. Amber get some water." He said as he starts to move him over to the couch. I nod and run out to the kitchen and grabs some water. I walk back into the living room and see the man awake, along with Sam being back. The man is sitting on the couch with Dean and Sam sitting on some chairs across from him. I walk over to the man and hand him the glass.

"Here," I said with a polite smile, as he takes the glass and takes a sip. I walk over and stand behind Dean.

"So, Paul... What happened?" Sam asked sympathetically. Paul seemed shaky and scared. 

"Uhm...Jessica was acting weird the last couple of day... she seemed to get scared of normal things, even me...." He started and I could see the tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"Than today she came home panicking and screaming. Saying that someone was after her. I tried to calm her down but then someone broke the door and knocked me out and when I woke up you were here." He said. We all nodded in understanding.

"What I don't understand is that it looked like a kid... Around your age." He said looking at me. 

"Was there anything else you noticed?" Sam asked. Paul thought for a minute

"Uhm... I heard growling. And claws going against the floor but there was no dog or any other animal." He said, looking at us desperate for answers.

"Do you have any idea where your wife could be?" Dean asked. 

"Uhm... No, I have no idea." He said with a sad sigh.

"Okay, we'll report it to the police," Sam said as we left the house. I stopped just outside the house. 

"Wait," I said. I could smell this familiar scent. "I know this smell." 

"What smell?" Dean asked oblivious to what I was talking about.

"I know this scent... It's Kendra's." I said, suddenly being felt with the hope of finding her. They looked at me as if I was crazy.

"It's my powers. My senses are better than the average human.  I can smell, hear and see things you can't." I said. They just kept staring at me. Sam seemed impressed, while Dean had the same oblivious look.

"Just... Follow me." I said as I got into the car. I waited impatiently for them to get in the car too. then I led them, following the scent.
