Into the strange

12|Why Us

Sam's POV

It's been a while since I last talked to or hung out with Cas, Katie or Adam. I closed them off. I didn't want to make things worse. It's been about 4 months. Third quarter was ending and my grades were pretty good but my mental health sucked. I didn't want help and bearly anyone knew. I may have had 4 classes with Katie but she doesn't know me as we as she thought.

"Bye Mom I'll see you when I get home"

"Bye sweetie. Have a good day"

"I'll try"

And I'm off to school. Just fazing through another day. Getting through the classes and getting my crap turned in. That is until I got to lunch and I got a text from Cas

Cassie🐶: Hey Sammy. I know it's been a while but I need your help. And I want you back as a friend. I don't know what's going on with you but please say you'll help me

Sam: What do you need help with

Cassie🐶: I'm hunting something and it's harder then I thought it would be

Sam: What are you hunting

Cassie🐶: A werewolf

Sam: Fine I'll help. When do you want to meet up

Cassie🐶: Does after school work

Sam: Yeah sure. See you then

If Cas needs my help I might as well help. I have nothing better to do so why not. I get through the rest of my classes and go straight to the park. I texted my mom to make sure she knew and then I did some waiting. When Cas showed up she looked more scared then I thought she'd be

"Hey you ok"

"Not really. I've been hunting this thing for a week and I still don't have leads plus if it knows I'm on to it I might be next"

"Calm down and tell me what you have so far"

"Well I know it's killing teenagers. It's most likely in the Gunpowder woods. And I know it's a werewolf"

"Ok that's a good start. Has anything like this happened in the past"

"Not that I can tell"

"Ok so they must have just gotten here..... Do you know anyone who knows the woods well and will be willing to help us"

"Not really. I can talk to my dad and see if he knows anyone"

"Good idea in the mean time do you have everything needed to kill it"

"Yup. Silver bullets in the revolver and a sliver blade"

"Nice"

Cas's POV

I called my dad and he said Uncle John would be the best person to ask. But the last time he got involved he got beaten up pretty bad. Fine I'll call him

"Hey it's Cas. I need a favor"

"What's up Cassie"

"I'm hunting a werewolf and I know where it's hunting but I don't know where it's set up camp. Can you help"

"What woods is it in"

"Gunpowder"

"Ok yeah I can help. When do you want to meet up"

"When are you free"

"How about this weekend so school doesn't get in the way"

"Yeah ok that sounds good"

I hung up and turned to Sam. She looked worried but I don't know why.

"So my uncle will take us out there this weekend"

"Ok sounds good"

We went to Sam's house and just did some drawing. Your probably wondering what happened to Dash. He went on with his life after he got out of the hospital. He gave the monster books to Sam and he put all the monster stuff in his past. But we all know it wouldn't stay that way for long.

Dash's POV

The last quarter started and I am so ready to graduate. This is just crazy. I turned in my application to TU. I should get an letter soon. We'll see I guess. My sister hasn't been herself lately and she won't talk to me. Thank gosh Cas found a case for them to work on. Hopefully this will put her in a good mood. I was in my room doing homework when Cas and Sam went to Sam's room. I heard Sam turn on music and I think some Fall Out Boy song way playing but I'm not sure. I continued to do my homework and got most of it done when we were called down for dinner.

"So Sam what are you and Cas working on"

"A science project and some art stuff"

I could tell something she had said was a lie I just couldn't tell what. I hope she isn't going to do anything stupid.

"Sounds fun"

"Yeah it is. I just can't wait to get it done"

She sounded like she was hiding something. Her eyes were mostly on Cas. They seemed to communicate without saying a word. But when I did catch her eyes she likes looked scared.

Sam's POV

I could tell Dash was on to me. And when we made eye contact I froze. At that moment I knew he had more information then I wanted him to. After dinner Cas went home and Dash wanted to talk to me.

"So Sam what are you and Cas really doing"

"Well we really did do some art stuff but we also are hunting something"

"And what might that something be"

"A werewolf"

"A what?!"

"You heard me. And we don't need help. We have Cas's uncle helping us"

"If I remember correctly the last time he tried to help you he got out in the hospital"

"Yeah but we didn't do it to him on porpoise. He wanted to save us"

"Still I don't know if that's a good idea"

"We need is someone who can navigate the woods and he's the only one we know of that can do that"

"What about mom"

"What about her. She isn't going to believe us when we tell her what we are really doing and you know that"

"Fine yeah your right. And she doesn't know as much. We don't need her getting hurt"

"Thank you"

"Just please stay safe"

I walked into my room and plopped on to my bed then I listened to MCR and tried to clear my head.
