Lost In The Heart Of A Winchester

6

We kept walking until we came across the southern gates. I sighed and looked around. All I could see, even from here, was light and colour and shaped and glitter. And as we walked, a huge crowd appeared. God, this was gonna suck.

"OK so the leader of this place, his name is Cozmo, runs around randomly but we have a small chance of missing him if we walk through the circus." I said, turning to Sam.

"What kind of circus?" Sam asked as we walked through the gate.

"Uh, y'know, the normal type, with like, a ringmaster and clowns and- I dunno. It's a circus" I said unsurely. I did not enjoy coming to this clan, let alone a circus.

"Clowns?" Sam asked, a little warily.

"Yea, so?"

"Well I mean.. Im.. Its just.. OK"

"What?"

"What do you mean what?"

"I mean.. Are you scared?"

"No!"

"OK, whatever I guess." I said chuckling. Then I remembered the creak near the circus. Would we have to cross it? Hmm..

"Well scaredy cat, we'll uh, have to go around for you then huh?" I stated, then started sprinting. He ran to keep up with me.

"No its just-" he started explaining.

"Shh! We need to run! Or he'll-" I started, but it was to late. I saw him rushing over. I stopped and accepted my fate.

"Laowa!!!" Cozmo yelled as he poured a huge bin of bright pink glitter all over me, and it was wet. That meant glitter glue. I stared at Sam, who looked shocked out of his mind. Cozmo came face to face with me and I growled at him, a deep, menacing snarl. He smiled and popped a pastel blue button onto the tip of my nose. I transformed into my wolf self and clamped onto his tail. I chucked him as far as I could into the crowd, and he landed on a few of them, creating a mushroom cloud of jumping wolves and loud yelps. We ran out and into a darker forest.

Once we got out I shook off as much glitter as I could, by running around, scraping it on trees, even rolling on the ground. I eventually stopped and shook one more time. Before looking over to Sam... Who was on the ground laughing. I walked up to him, my wolf form a lot bigger than my human one. I glared at him, as much as a wolf could, and came close to his face, looking him in the eye. He stared at me for a moment, stopped laughing, and after a few seconds.. Flicked the button off my nose and started laughing again. I rolled my eyes and started pacing angrily.

Eventually I transformed back, and Sam stopped laughing, mostly.

"Stop laughing at me!" I said, frustrated.

"I'm sorry I- I'm trying but- I just- pffffftt" he stuttered happily.

"Heya. What are you doing hanging with a human?" A low voice said behind us.

"None of your business" I said, not bothering to turn around.

"Don't be so rude" the voice said, chuckling.

"Don't tell me what to do, kid" I said, still not turning.

"So what if I do shortie? You gonna send the human on me? He your pet or somethin?" The voice asked, repeating his chuckle.

"What did you just call me and Sam?" I asked in a low tone.

"Called you a shortie, called him a pet"

"Bad idea. Listen. I'm gonna give you one chance to take that back"

"Hell no, Shortie" he said, walking closer. I turned around and his eye's instantly widened. "Look I- I didn't know it was you.. I'm sorry- I swear-" he mumbled.

"First off" I growled, jumping onto him and pinning him down. "You don't call my friend a pet. He's not my pet, he's a hunter, a Winchester. His name is Sam" I added, shoving his muzzle into the dirt. "Second, Never. Call. Me. Short" I continued, dragging him over to Sam. "Now apologize to him" I said angrily.

"What? But he's a hunter-" the wolf started.

"Did I tell you you were allowed to say no? Apologise." I stated, punching him a few times.

"OK OK I-"

"Hurry up"

"I'm sorry, Sam."

"For?"

"Uh, calling you her pet" he stuttered. I released him and he instantly ran off.

"Hey!" I called after him.

"Uh, yea?" He called back nervously.

"Tell huntre we're on our way through" I ordered. I heard the wolf run off.

"Woah" Sam said, looking at me with wide eyes.

"What?" I answered quickly.

"That was impressive. And who's Huntre?"

"Eh, I don't have a rep around here for nothing. And Huntre is the leader of this clan. We need to see him before we leave. His name is pronounced hunter, but its spelt with the "er" backwards."

"Right, right. So how do we get through here? And uh, where is here exactly?"

"Eastern. And we need to move quickly. To get there. That where Huntre lives" I said, pointing through the forest at a large mountain with a huge castle-like structure imbedded into the side.

"OK. Well let's get a move on then" Sam said as he started walking. He was really confident, for a hunter in a world of monsters.

"So.." He started as we walked together.

"What?"

"You really consider me a friend?"

"What? No I- uh- kinda? Just- just shut up about it."

"No need to defend yourself. I was just wondering"

"Well your wrong OK?"

"OK. But just in case, I don't mind you either"

"What do you mean? Your kind hates us"

"My kind? I don't have a kind. We barely even have a common goal. Hunters aren't some group or uh, clan. We don't trust each other. Were just humans that have it harder than others"

"Dude I mean humans. Horror movies, books, shows. Even reality for you guys. Who's the bad guys? The monsters"

"I guess. But that's not you guys"

"How is it not?"

"You don't try kill anyone, you at least seem like you care about those around you. That's not a monster."

"Mm. Maybe. But I mean I'm aggressive, I drink to much, I don't trust anyone. I just get by and survive. That really sound human to you?"

"Heh"

"What?"

"Nothing its just, yea. I mean you just described Dean. And he might have more on his plate, but yea. That sounds pretty human." He said with a smirk.

I looked up at him and gave a small smile. We stared at each other a moment before moving on in silence.
