Summary: You had fallen right into their trap. The angels were using you as bait to get Castiel. They made the mistake of underestimating him.
Words: 1009
Tumblr media

"Castiel!"
Your scream bounced around the skull of his vessel like a ricocheting bullet. He abruptly stood from the chair he had been sitting in. The sudden movement caused Sam and Dean to look over at their angel friend. They eyed him curiously.
"You alright, man?" Dean asked, but before he could receive an answer, Castiel disappeared with a woosh of his wings. Dean turned to his brother. "What the hell was his problem?" Sam shrugged in response before looking back at his computer screen.
'Angels... Why did it have to be angels?' you thought.
You had fallen right into their trap. They wanted you to get to Castiel. Unfortunately for them, they were going to get just what they wanted.
"Castiel!" you called out for him again, and the angel in front of you laughed before smacking you across the face.
"Shut up. You already did your job."
The single lightbulb above your head suddenly popped, sinking the room into darkness. You heard shuffling footsteps before the sounds of punches landing. A few more moments of fighting before you heard the squish of a blade stabbing into flesh. A few feet away, three lights slowly emitted from the darkness. You could see a brief glimpse of the rage in Castiel's eyes as the angel died. You squeezed your eyes shut and turned away once it was too bright to bear.
Then it was silent. All you could hear was the pounding of your heartbeat in your ears. The smell of blood wafted through the air. You sucked in a breath and held it. You heard footsteps come over to you and around to stand behind you. You felt hands tugging at the ropes that were tied around your wrists. You were still terrified even though you knew who it was.
"Castiel?" you asked, your voice wavering.
"I'm here," he said as he finally got the ropes untied.
You brought your hands into your lap and rubbed your sore wrists. Castiel rounded the chair you were sitting in. You heard shuffling as he knelt down in front of you. Your eyes were slowly adjusting in the dark. He reached out and gently held your hands in his. He rubbed his thumb over your knuckles in an attempt to calm you down.
"Are you hurt?" he asked, reaching up to brush a strand of hair behind your ear.
"I-I don't know."
"It's alright. I'm going to make it all better," he said softly.
You felt two fingers press against your forehead. "Castiel, wait!" you reached up to grab his wrist and try to pull his hand away, but it was already too late.
You could feel the ache in your muscles subsiding. The tingling on your cheek from where the other angel had slapped you was gone. You could breathe evenly again. You pulled Castiel's hand down, and he let you; you were already healed. You could see a faint smile on his face through the darkness.
"I'm sorry-" he cut you off quick.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. This isn't your fault," he reassured you.
"I fell right into their trap. I should have seen it coming!" you insisted. "And your grace..." you added sadly.
"It doesn't matter. What matters now is that you're safe," he said as he cupped the side of your face.
You leaned into his touch. Your eyes fluttered close, but it wasn't much difference to the darkness that surrounded you.
"Let's get out of here," Castiel said.
His trench coat rustled as he stood. He held both your hands, and you knew what was coming next. Usually you'd protest him teleporting you, but you just wanted to be out of that room. You squeezed your eyes shut, preparing for teleport and for the incessant questions you were sure to get from Sam and Dean. With a quiet whoosh of Castiel's wings, the two of you were out of that stuffy room.
You were surprised to smell fresh air. You shivered as the wind blew over you. You opened your eyes, and you're a bit disoriented when you realized you were standing. You stumbled on your shaky feet. Castiel was quick to place his hands around your waist to keep you upright. You put your hands on his shoulders for leverage as you tried to force your legs to work.
"I'm sorry. I thought you'd want to come back to the bunker instead of..." his voice trailed off.
"It's alright. I actually would rather be here. It's just, next time have me stand up beforehand," you said as you finally managed to regain your balance.
"My apologies. I'll remember that for next time."
"It's okay," you said with a chuckle, "Thank you for the rescue. I don't know what I'd do without my angel," you added.
You noticed the way his head cocked to the side at 'my angel.' You didn't even mean to say it, it just sort of came out. You hoping he doesn't acknowledge it.
"Your angel?" his pleased smile says he's not annoyed, but you can't help the embarrassment that burns your cheeks.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean-" he cut you off before you could dig yourself into a hole with your rambling.
"I'd be your angel forever if you asked me to," he said smoothly.
Your jaw dropped open slightly at his words. He leaned in and kissed your cheek. You're sure he can feel the warmth against his lips. You closed your eyes when he kissed you, and you heard the flap of wings. Your hair was jostled by the gust of air. You opened your eyes to find him gone. You're left with your skin tingling with the rush of almost getting killed and then getting rescued by the angel you've had a crush on since you met him. You brought your hand up and gently touched the spot where his lips had kissed you. The next time the two of you were alone, you were definitely taking him up on his offer.

{Eddie Munson X Reader} Name Three Songs
A/N: i had a sudden realization that eddie would not stand for dudes asking anyone to name three songs if they’re wearing a band tee and i had to write this. hope you enjoy :D (gender neutral reader)
Warnings: none
Summary: You’re wearing one of Eddie’s Metallica tees when a guy tries to get you to name three songs. Eddie swoops in just in time to tell the guy to fuck off.
Words: 392
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
"Do you even know who Metallica are?"
You turned to see an older man standing next to you with an annoyed expression. He was pointing at you, and that's when you remembered what shirt you were wearing. Eddie had let you borrow one of his Metallica tee's that morning. More like he pulled it over your head before you had much time to protest, saying it looked better on you anyway.
"Um, yeah?" you could hear the uncertainty in your own voice, and you knew the question that was coming next.
"Name three songs then."
"Master of puppets!" you blurted out the one you knew, quickly realizing you didn't know anymore, “and, um..." your voice trailed off as tried to remember back through all of Eddie's metal music rambling.
"You can't even name three songs? That's pathetic," he scoffed at you.
"You're pathetic, man. Get the fuck out of here," you were instantly relieved to hear a familiar voice to your left.
You turned to see Eddie glaring daggers at him. The man seemingly recognized Eddie, because he stuttered out a quiet sorry before turning and rushing off. You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding.
"You alright?" Eddie asked softly as he wrapped his arms around your waist.
"Yeah, I'm fine," you wrapped your arms around his neck as you responded.
"What an asshole. I hate when guys do that to you," Eddie said with a frown.
Unfortunately this wasn't the first time a guy had badgered you while you were wearing one of Eddie's band tees. It was even more annoying because you did know the bands, you just didn't know every single one of their songs. You almost always got shit from random dudes while you were waiting for Eddie to finish packing up the band's equipment.
"Me too," you said with a dry chuckle, "but I have you to not only save me from guys like that but also to tell me the names of more Metallica songs so this doesn't happen again,” Eddie smiled wide as you laughed.
"I'd be more than happy to,” he leaned down and placed a quick kiss on your lips, “we can have our first lesson on the way home. I'm pretty sure there's a Metallica tape already in the radio"
"Knowing you, I'd bet my life on it."

Castiel X Reader ~ Crooked Tie
A/N: i wrote this forever ago. I edited it and decided to post it here. i’m sorry the summary is so bad😭 hope you guys enjoy <3 (gender neutral reader)
Warnings: none :)
Summary: Castiel’s crooked tie drives you crazy. He becomes very confused when you start to fix his tie every time he shows up. One day he finally confronts you, asking you why you always fix his tie.
Words: 954
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
Ever since you had met Castiel, you couldn't help but think he was adorable. His childlike confusion with anything new, the way he would tilt his head to the side and furrow his brows like a confused puppy. It made you melt. Something else you noticed, was that his tie was always crooked or messed up in some way.
The first few times you didn't say or do anything, you just hoped that he would fix it himself. You quickly realized that maybe he didn't even know how to fix it. The first time you fixed his tie was almost an accident, you barely even thought about it. It was just bothering you so much. Sam was talking to Dean about something, Castiel standing close to them, listening intently.
You couldn't be bothered to pay attention. You were just staring at Castiel's very crooked and loose tie. You stood up from your chair and walked the few steps over to him. Without thinking, you grabbed his tie gently, tightening and straightening it out.
He furrowed his brows as he looked down at you, but you didn't notice. You smoothed down his tie and walked back over to your chair, sitting down and looking back at your laptop. The boys went quiet, looking from you to Castiel. Dean only shook his head and continued to talk about whatever he had been talking about before.
Ever since then, whenever Castiel would show up with a crooked or loose tie, you would immediately fix it. The boys stopped being confused by it, they honestly stopped even noticing, but Castiel always noticed the small gesture. After about months of doing this, Castiel finally asked the boys why you did it.
"Sam, Dean?" they looked up from their books. "Yeah, Cas?" Castiel furrowed his brows, not sure how to even ask. "Why does Y/N always fix my tie?" Sam looked back down at his book for a moment, trying not to laugh. "It might just bother her that it's not straight" Dean told him. Even though Castiel's people skills were rusty, he knew there had to be more to it than that.
"Maybe also because she likes you" Sam suggested. "Likes me?" before either of the brothers could answer him, you walked through the door holding bags of food. "I got everyone's favorite! Except you Cas because you don't eat. I almost forgot that though when I was there" you laughed to yourself as you set the bags down in front of Sam and Dean.
Castiel's questions still hadn't been answered, and he was still confused. Dean could tell, so he convinced you to go out again to he could talk to the confused angel. "Hey Y/N?" you looked up from your book at Dean. "Yeah, what's up?" he looked at you with his puppy dog eyes that he knew you couldn't resist. "You think you could get me some pie? Please?" you shook your head with a smile. Almost any other time you would tell him no, but you were feeling nice that day. "Okay, fine. But you owe me" you said, standing up and grabbing his keys from his outstretched hand. "Thank you" he said, watching you leave.
"Cas, come here" Sam was sitting on the bed, and he chuckled at Dean's words. "What is it Dean?" he asked. "Y/N, when Sam said they like you, he meant in a romantic way" Dean explained to him. Cas furrowed is eyebrows and tilted his head to the side. "Y/N likes me in a romantic way?" this confused him even more. "Yep" Cas had trouble with humans and their emotions, and he couldn't understand why you liked him in a romantic way.
You came back to the motel a few minutes later with Dean's pie. "Thanks Y/N" he said with a smile as you handed it to him. "You're welcome, Dean" you said before sitting down on your bed.
You didn't see Castiel for a while after that. The next time you saw him, he showed up next to without warning. You jumped, startled by his sudden presence. "Geez Cas! You scared me!" you said with a hand on your chest. "I'm sorry" he said to you. You gave him a forgiving smile. "It's okay" you patted his shoulder. "Where are Sam and Dean?" he asked. "Inside" you told him, gesturing to the police station. You opted to sit in the car, but you needed some fresh air, so you were just leaning against the outside. You looked over at him, quickly reaching up to fix his tie. "Why do you always fix my tie?" he asked you suddenly.
You felt your face warm up at his question. "I, uh, just a stupid human thing. It bothers me when it's not straight" you told him. "Sam and Dean said it was because you like me in a romantic way" your mouth dropped open slightly as you looked down. "Those motherfuckers..." your voice trailed off. "Is that true, Y/N?" you looked back up at his face.
You gave him a small smile. "Y-Yeah. It's true" you confessed to him. He was silent for a while, just staring into your eyes. You weren't sure what he was doing, and you were worried that you just ruined the friendship you had with him. "Us angels aren't supposed to have relations with humans, but I think I can break the rules for you" you furrowed your brows, but before you could question him, you felt his lips against yours. You melted into the kiss, your arms wrapping around his neck to pull him in closer.
"Damn, took them long enough. You owe me ten bucks Sammy"

Sam & Dean Winchester ~ Rock, Paper, Scissors
A/N: inspired by @spn-imagines-nation <3 (gender neutral reader)
Warnings: mention of blood
Summary: you flirt with the brothers after a successful hunt.
Words: 184
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
You wiped the blood off your face with the back of your hand. "Thanks for helping us out with that, Y/N," you looked up at Sam with a lopsided grin. "Anytime," you wiped the blood onto your already dirty shirt. "Guess this is goodbye," Dean said with a sigh as he shoved his hands into his pockets.
You shrugged. "Not forever. I know I'll end up seeing you boys again one way or another," you chuckled. "Next time I hope you'll buy me a drink, Winchester," they both furrowed their brows at you. "Wait... which one?" Dean gestured to the two of them.
"Well, I'll let the two of you decide that with a friendly game of rock, paper, scissors," you smiled wide before opening the door to your car. You rolled the window down, giving them a wink before driving away.
The brothers watched your car speed off and slowly disappear off in the distance. "I am willing to play rock, paper, scissors for a date with them," Sam scoffed at his brother before getting into the passenger side. "What? And you wouldn't?!”

Summary: You are Clay Miller’s girlfriend. He’s taken you to the middle of bumfuck nowhere, looking for his sister, Whitney. She’s been missing for a month and a half after she went on a camping trip with some friends. You and Clay are determined to find her, but there is a hockey masked killer who is waiting in the woods for you.
Words: 8631
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
You hopped off the back of Clay's motorcycle, following him into the dingy gas station. He walked up to talk to the clerk while you glanced around the store. You didn't find anything you wanted, so you walked over to stand next to Clay.
"She's gone missing, about a month and a half ago," he said as he pulled the missing posters out of his backpack, "would you mind if I maybe just put a flyer in the window or something?"
"Oh, I heard about that. That's sad. If it was up to me, you could wallpaper the whole place with them," as the clerk spoke, the man behind Clay tapped him on the arm, and Clay waved him off before turning back to the clerk, "but the owner makes the rules. And he's a real-" the man made a honking noise as he raised his eyebrows high on his forehead, implying that the owner was an asshole.
You and Clay both gave him a confused look, "um, well, is he here? Maybe I could talk to him. Maybe if he understood the situation-" the man behind Clay tapped him on the arm again, and you both turned to look at him.
"Um, you gonna buy something? I mean, you've been up here for quite a while yapping, so..." you glared daggers at him; you could not believe the audacity of this guy.
"Um, sure. Yeah," Clay said as he grabbed your hand and pulled you to the side before you could tell the guy off.
"Thanks. We'll have two waters and some gas," the guy said to the clerk once the two of you were out of the way.
"Guess I'm an asshole" Clay muttered loud enough for the guy to hear, while you continued to glare.
"You okay bro? Is everything good?" the guy asked with smug smile.
"Yeah, everything's fine. Thanks. But I'm not your bro" Clay replied.
"So you don't want be friends? You don't wanna hang out?" the guy teased, chuckling to himself.
"You better shut your mouth before I shut it for you," you said angrily.
Clay squeezed your hand, and you glanced up at him. He gave you a look you knew all too well, one that told you to stop while you were ahead. You only rolled your eyes at him before going back to glaring at the guy.
"Let it go, Trent," the girl next to Trent placed a hand on his arm, trying to diffuse the situation.
"It's not me. This guys being a dick," you and Clay both scoffed at him.
"Yeah, it's me. Obviously, I'm the one being a dick" Clay said sarcastically, "sir, thank you very much anyways" Clay said politely to the clerk.
"Yep" the clerk replied with a tight lipped smile.
"I'm sorry," the girl said to Clay as you walked past.
"Thank you" Clay replied quietly before he gently tugged you out of the gas station.
You let go of Clay's hand to grab the helmet sitting on the back of his motorcycle, "god, that clerk was such a condescending jerk! How much you wanna bet he was the owner? And that fucking dickhead too! What is it with the people around here?" you ranted, annoyed.
You looked up when Clay didn't respond. You saw him taping a flyer to the back of a black SUV you hadn't noticed before. There weren't any other vehicles, so it must have belonged to the dickhead guy. You chuckled.
"What?" you only shook your head at him with a smile before putting your helmet on.
Clay swung his leg over the seat of his motorcycle, and you got on behind him, wrapping your arms tightly around his middle. You watched Trent and the rest of his buddies get back into their car. One of the guys got into the trunk, reaching up and pulling it shut. You watched them drive away, Whitney's missing poster stuck to the trunk.
Clay kicked the ignition and you felt the engine rumble to life beneath you before he pulled out of the parking lot. You were only on the road for a few minutes when a cop car flashed it's lights behind you. You felt Clay's chest rise and fall with a heavy sigh as he pulled off to the side of the road. You leaned back slightly and quickly ripped off your helmet.
"Do you know why we're getting pulled over?" you questioned him, "is it cause you're not wearing a helmet? I've told you a million times-"
He cut you off, "it's not that. Just let me do the talking, alright?"
You heard a car door open and close behind you, "welcome back, Clay," the police officer called out as he started walking over.
"You mean that, Officer Bracke?" Clay replied sarcastically.
"And I see you brought a friend this time," the officer said as he approached. He sighed as he pulled off his large aviators, and you knew he was going to try to sympathize, "son, I know you think we're not on your side, that we're just a bunch of dumb country hicks out here."
'That's putting it lightly,' you thought.
"I put two, ten year veterans on that case. We did three dozen interviews and ran a county wide search for your sister. You know how many thousands of people disappear every year, even in this state alone? There's no evidence that anything happened to Whitney or any of those other kids at Crystal Lake," the cop explained, and you rolled your eyes, not caring if he saw.
"There's no car, no witnesses. Nothing. One of those kids was her boyfriend, right?"
"Right," Clay replied with a nod.
"Well, they probably just took off together," it was taking all your self control to not start yelling.
Clay scoffed, "our mother just died of cancer. Did I tell you that?"
"No, sir."
"Well, she did. She was sick for a long time and Whitney took care of her every single day. And then my sister didn't show up for the funeral. See, you just don't know my sister. That's not possible," Clay explained.
"Well, she's not here, son. I would suggest taking your friend here, and try looking someplace else. That's what the other families are doing," the cop said as he placed his aviators back on his face, having used up all the sympathy he had for that day.
The cop turned and started walking back towards his cruiser, and you waited until you heard the car door shut before speaking, "what the actual fuck. The people around here continue to amaze me," you said as the cop drove past.
You looked up at Clay when he didn't say anything, or make a move to start his bike. You could see his jaw was clenched. He stared at the cop car as it drove down the the road, slowly becoming a small dot on the horizon.
"Are you okay?" you asked as you hugged him tight, leaning onto his shoulder.
"I'm fine."
You sighed, knowing that he was far from fine, "I'm sorry, honey. She's here, and we're gonna find her," you said before leaning up and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you," he said softly.
He kicked the ignition on and waited for you to put your helmet back on before pulling onto the road. The cop car had already faded away in the distance. You hoped you wouldn't be seeing him again.
The sun was still high in the sky even though it felt like you had been out all day. It wasn't sweltering hot, but with no cloud cover the sun was beating down on you. The only breeze you were getting was when Clay was speeding down the road.
You were surrounded by cornfields and farmland on either side. There weren't many houses around, and there were many miles in between each one. It took many minutes of driving before you made it to the next house. Clay pulled up and parked at the end of the dirt path that led to the front door. You looked around at the junk scattered in the front yard as the two of you got off Clay's bike. You got a sense of unease as goosebumps spread across your skin. You noticed Clay walking up the path towards the house, and you hurried to catch up with him. You gripped his arm once you were walking next to him. He chuckled as he glanced down at you.
"What? You scared?" he teased you.
"Uh, of course I am! What kind of a question is that?..." your voice trailed off as you continued to scan your surroundings.
"Hello?" Clay called out as you approached the door.
The front door was open, but the screen door was shut and locked. You had full view into the house through the glass. You could see into a cluttered kitchen. There was a large wreath hanging on the side of the fridge.
"Hello?" Clay called out again before knocking on the door a few times.
After a few seconds of silence, you spoke up, "looks like no ones home. Let's get the hell out of here," you let go of his arm to wrap your arms around yourself.
"Hold on, I'm gonna leave a flyer."
"Good idea, but hurry up, please."
Clay knelt down to open his backpack and get a flyer out. As he did this, an all black dog jumped up on the screen door, barking loudly. You both jumped back, you letting out a loud, "shit!" as you reached for Clay.
"Christ!" he exclaimed as the two of you watched the medium sized dog jump at the door while continuing to bark.
The dog growled as an older lady with graying hair came to the door. She grabbed the dogs collar and opened the door, an angry scowl on her face. You gripped Clays jacket tightly as you stood somewhat behind him.
"I just wanted to ask you a question" the dog barked again, startling both you and Clay.
"Hush!" the woman yelled at the dog.
"I wanted to ask you, um, if maybe you've seen somebody. My sister" Clay said shakily as he held up the flyer, "she came camping up around here with some friends and she's gone missing," the woman looked down at the flyer before looking back up at Clay.
"She ain't missing. She's dead," she said, matter of factly.
"What?"
"People go missing around here, they're gone for good. Outsiders come, they don't know where to walk. They bring trouble. We just wanna be left alone! And so does he," the lady explained.
"So does who?" Clay asked.
She didn't answer, she just reached out and pulled door closed.
"Ma'am, please. So does who?" she ignored Clay's plea, instead she turned and walked back into her house, pulling the dog along with her.
You looked up at Clay, who looked down at you with a terrified and confused expression, "what the hell do you think she was talking about?" he muttered as the two of you turned and began walking back toward his motorcycle.
"I don't know. Some local legend, maybe? I think every towns got 'em," Clay chewed at the nail on his thumb anxiously, "she doesn't know anything. She probably got told some scary story as a kid because all these small town hicks don't like 'outsiders.' We're gonna keep looking until we find Whitney," you reassured him.
Clay nodded as he leaned back against his back, still chewing on his nail. You sighed deeply as you walked to stand in front of him.
"What now?" you asked.
"We keep driving. Hit every house we see. Then we can try to search the camp," you nodded before the two of you got back onto his motorcycle.
You drove a ways down the road, the sun was starting to get low in the sky as you parked in front of a large, red barn. You could hear some sort of machinery buzzing inside. Clay hopped of the motorcycle, setting his backpack down before pulling off his jacket. You quickly snatched it from him, wrapping it around you. The corner of his mouth twitched upwards in a lopsided smile.
"You stay here this time, yeah?" you nodded, not wanting to deal with anymore weird country folk.
He leaned in and kissed you quick before turning and walking into the barn. After about a minute he came walking back out, and you heard somebody yelling from the barn. You furrowed your brows in confusion as you stood up. You saw Clay walking back over to you.
"What was that all about?" you asked, and he shook his head.
"Just another weirdo. Let's go."
The next house you pulled up to looked somewhat normal, so you walked with Clay up to the front door. It was a large vacation looking cabin. You knocked while Clay reached down to pull a flyer from his backpack.
"Hi, we're sorry to bother you. We're looking for someone and..." your voice trailed off as you recognized the girl in the doorway; ur was the girl from the gas station.
"Hey" she said, also recognizing the two of you.
You smiled and nodded back as a greeting.
"No luck?" she asked with a frown.
"No. No, not yet"
"May I?" she asked, reaching out for the flyer.
"Yeah" Clay said as he handed it to her.
"She's pretty."
"Thanks" Clay said quietly.
"Do you guys wanna come in for a second, grab a drink?" she asked.
"Uh..." you and Clay glanced at each other before looking back at her, " I don't think your boyfriend would like that too much" you nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry about it. He'll be fine" you and Clay glanced at each other again before you shrugged.
"Thanks" Clay said with a smile.
The two of you stepped into the house, the girl closing the door behind you. You followed her into what looked like the living room. You saw two guys sitting at at table eating, and another girl holding up a video camera. She pointed it over at the two of you, but you could see her aim it at Clay. You felt jealously begin to boil in your gut, but it didn't have long to simmer. The guy from before came out from the kitchen.
"Hey, Trent, uh, you remember..." she trailed off as she gestured to the two of you.
"Clay," he said.
"Y/N," you squeaked out, feeling a mix of anger and jealously.
Trent did not look too happy with the two of you, "Of course I remember Clay and Y/N. Why are they in my house?"
"Hey, new guy, and new girl. Beer?" the girl who was previously holding the video camera held out a beer can in both hands.
"No, no," Trent put out a hand to stop her before you could snap at her, "they've gotta get going. You got flyers to pass out, right?" you bit the inside of your cheek as to not flip out on this douchebag.
"Yeah," Clay said simply, "right"
"Look, if you're hungry, we-" Trent cut his girlfriend off.
"Okay. Look, Clay, Y/N, obviously she's just trying to be nice. But you two can't stay here. No offense, but this is a private party. I don't know you."
"No, you don't know us." Clay said.
"That's so funny, I just said that. Like two seconds ago, that I don't know you. I would probably leave soon before I get pissed off and you know..." Trent trailed off, and you stifled your laughter.
"Yeah?" Clay egged him on.
"Yeah," he replied sternly.
"What happens then?" Clay continued to antagonize him.
"Hey, look. Take it easy, Trent, all right?" the girl stepped between the boys, pressing a hand to Trent's chest, "I'll just- I'll walk you out, the three of you turned and walked toward the door.
"Jenna. Jenna, come on. Where are you going?" Trent called out, but she ignored him as she slammed the door behind her.
"Sorry about that" Jenna said to you.
"That's alright. It's his house, you know?" Clay said.
"Where's your car?" she asked as she looked around.
"I do not have a car, but I do have her" he said, as you walked up to his motorcycle.
"Nice!"
"Thanks"
"I bet she's fast. My uncle used to have a bike just like this."
"Oh, yeah. She goes real fast," Clay responded with a chuckle.
"So where you off to next?" Jenna asked after a moment of silence.
"Well, we haven't been to the other side of the lake yet, so we were probably gonna go check that out," Clay told her.
"You guys want some company?" she asked, and you could see the pleading look in her eyes.
You glanced at Clay before looking back at her, "we'd love some company," you told her.
Instead of taking his motorcycle, Jenna suggested you walk down the trail that circles the lake. You happily agreed and the three of you made your way toward the trail. You walked on Clay's right, while Jenna walked on his left. You walked in silence for a bit before Jenna spoke up.
"So you and your sister must be pretty close?"
"Yeah, we were pretty close when we were younger. But we kinda drifted, you know. I mean, I bailed when I was 17, and she stayed with my mom. Um, she kind of had to, I guess. I don't know, she's always been the responsible one" Clay explained.
"So, when's the last time you talked to her?" Jenna asked.
"Uh, about six months ago. We got into a fight, actually. She uh, she called and said she wanted to see me. Said she was counting on me, and I never showed."
"Hold on," you said as you knelt down on the side of the trail.
You picked up the object from the ground, twirling it around in your hands. Clay and Jenna came over too look over your shoulder at what you had found.
"What is that?" Jenna asked.
Clay leaned down and you handed it to him, "it's a GPS," he said as you stood back up and continued walking.
Clay handed it back to you after examining it more closely. The screen was cracked and it wouldn't turn on. You shoved it into your back pocket and continued down the trail. You walked a few more minutes before coming across the entrance to a camp. The sign above the entrance read CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE in fading white pain. You felt yourself shiver as you read the words, and you hugged Clay's jacket tighter around you.
The three of you searched all the old cabins. They were decrepit and dusty. All the old furniture was still there. The bunk beds and dressers, old lamps and toys. It was eerie to see all of the old things. You wondered how long it had been since camp had actually been held here.
The sun had set by the time you had searched almost all the cabins. Fortunately, Clay had packed two flashlights in his backpack. You gave yours to Jenna, as you could see the fear is her eyes. You did your best to stay close to Clay.
"Let's just check out this last cabin, then we'll head back" Clay said as you walked toward the final cabin.
The cabin was just as old and dirty as the rest. There were dirty baby dolls and other toys scattered all over the floor, along with the the bunk beds that were falling apart. A matted teddy bear in the corner of the room made you want to turn back for the door.
"You really should call the police" Jenna said, and you turned and hurried over to them when you realized they had moved a room over.
"I've already called. They're not looking for her anymore. No one is, except for us" Clay replied.
"Then they should look harder because-" Jenna was cut off by the floorboards breaking underneath her foot, she gasped is surprise, "ow!" she cried out as her foot fell a few inches to the dirt ground below.
"You all right?" you asked as you reached your hand out for hers.
"I'm okay, I'm okay" she lifted her foot out of the hole, bringing it up to rub her ankle.
"You sure?" Clay asked.
She nodded, "yeah."
Clay reached down and picked up a dirt crusted baby doll from out of the hole in the floor.
"Please put that nasty ass thing down," you said, and he promptly threw the doll back on the floor.
"Let's get out of here," you nodded at his words.
"Yes please."
The three of you quickly made your way out of the cabin. You walked down the dirt path until Clay's flashlight began to flicker before turning off completely.
"Give me a sec, I gotta change my batteries," Clay said as he stopped to kneel down and get some batteries out of his backpack.
Jenna shined her flashlight down so he could see while you scanned your surroundings. Surprisingly, there were still some lights on the outside of the cabins that still worked. It didn't help much in illuminating the camp, though. Suddenly, you heard rustling in the distance behind you. The three of your heads shot toward the noise.
"Someone's coming," Clay said before he got up and grabbed your hand.
"Oh shit. Let's go" Jenna said, grabbing onto your arm.
Clay pulled the two of you along to a canoe holder a few feet away. You helped Jenna slide underneath before you followed quickly behind. Clay squished himself next to you and the three of you laid there silently. Jenna held a hand over her mouth to quiet her breathing. A tall, shadowy figure came walking down the main trail that cut through the whole camp. You couldn't make out many details in the darkness, but as they approached Clay's discarded backpack, it looked like a body bag was slung over their shoulder. You held tightly onto Clay's arm as you did your best to keep your breathing steady.
The figure walked up to Clay's backpack, and threw what they had been carrying to the ground with a loud thump. Now you were certain it was a dead body as you stared at the bloody stump where their head used to be. Your eyes widened and your hand flew to your mouth to stop the scream rising in your throat. Your heart was beating out of your chest. You held on tighter to Clay's arm, surely leaving imprints in his skin.
You saw the figure pick up Clay's backpack before tossing it back down. They then turned and walked off. You didn't know what he was doing at first, but it didn't matter. Clay quickly slid out from underneath the canoes and reached down to pull you out. You helped him yank Jenna out before the three of you then ran quietly to hide behind a nearby tree. You saw that whoever it was had turned on a large spotlight before walking back over to where you had been previously hiding. They angrily ripped the canoes off their holders, throwing them to the ground haphazardly. They looked around for a few seconds before they lifted the body back up and threw it over their shoulder. They grabbed Clay's backpack with their free hand and started walking towards one of the cabins.
"Wheres he going?" Clay whispered as he crept towards another tree, trying to keep the figure in sight.
"Oh my god. We gotta go," Jenna whispered frantically, but Clay shushed her.
"I gotta follow him," you grabbed Clays arm.
"Are you insane?!" you whisper yelled at him.
"He had a dead body. We gotta go. We gotta warn my friends," Jenna added.
"Jenna's right, we need to get the fuck out of here."
"Okay, okay" Clay said as he turned to follow you and Jenna.
You crept around quietly until you were a few cabins down, the. you started running. The three of you sprinted out of the camp, Jenna leading while you ran behind her. Clay took up the rear as you made your way back towards the house. You had only made it about half way when Jenna tripped over something in front of you. You stopped and helped her up.
"You okay?" Clay asked her.
"Yeah" she replied, breathlessly.
"What the hell is that?" you asked as you knelt down next to Clay.
He pulled up in a string that was at about ankle height across the path. Jenna grabbed your arm and tugged you up.
"Come on, let's go."
You continued running down the trail, following close behind Jenna. You ran for what felt like hours. Your heart continued to pound loudly in your ears as you struggled to breath. You crossed over a small bridge, a landmark that told you that you were getting close. You forced your legs to keep moving as you could see the house come into view.
"Thank god" you muttered, using the last of your strength to make it to the house.
You ran up the steps to the back of the house. Jenna shoved it open and the three of you rushed inside. Jenna went into the living room while Clay slammed the door behind you. You let out a sigh of relief as you turned the lock.
"Shit! You scared the piss out of me," one of the guys from earlier exclaimed.
Your relief was short lived as you remembered who's house you were in. Clay looked out the glass of the doors, scanning the tree line to make sure that person wasn't following you. You stood next to him with your hands cupped up against the glass as you peered out into the moonlight night.
"Where is everybody? T-There's a guy out there carrying a dead body!" Jenna told her friend.
"We need to find a phone," Clay muttered to you, "Jenna, where's the phone?" he asked her.
"Uh, I-I don't know. Over there?" she pointed toward the kitchen.
"You fucking with me cause I'm high? That's totally not cool cause I just finished smoking, okay?" Jenna's friend asked shakily.
Your eyes darted everywhere searching for the landline. You spotted it on the counter and you jogged over to pick it up. Clay was close behind as you picked it up off the receiver and passed it to him with shaky hands. He quickly dialed 911.
"Hi, I'd like to report a homicide. Uh, Clay Miller. Yeah, I'm at a house by Crystal lake. It's... Yeah, that's it. Hurry," he said into the phone before hanging up, "they said they're sending someone," he said to the room as he sped walked back over to the back door; you followed him close behind.
"Police?" you noticed Jenna's friend holding a bright purple bong in his hand, and you let out a sort laugh.
"Yeah," Clay replied as he brushed past the guy.
"Where is everybody else?" Jenna asked again.
"I don't know. I've been here all day. Chelsea and Nolan left, like, hours ago to the lake," the guy explained as was getting increasingly more panicked.
"Well, what about Trent? Bree?"
"They're in the bedroom."
You glanced over when you heard him say that, and Jenna gave you an annoyed look.
"Uh oh," you muttered, wondering if you'd have to deal with a breakup in the middle of all this shit.
"What?" Clay asked you franticly, not paying attention to anything else but keeping watch.
"Oh, nothing. Nothing" you assured him as you turned back to look out the window.
Jenna came back after a minute without Trent or Bree. Now you really hated this guy. You were just about to go over and ask if she needed you to get Clay to break the door down, when all the lights in the house went out.
"Oh fuck" you muttered.
"Who's messing with the lights?" you heard Trent yell as he walked into the living room.
"Oh shit. Chewie's still out there," you heard Jenna's friend say.
You watched Clay put the phone to his ear before shaking his head, "phones dead. Jenna, do you have a cell phone? Do you have anything?"
"No, nothing has signal" she told him.
"What the fuck are you two doing here?" Trent yelled as him and who you guessed was Bree walked into the living room.
"Trent-" Jenna tried to stop him, but he ignored her, continuing to yell over her.
"Get the fuck out!" he yelled at you.
"Easy" Clay yelled back.
"They're just trying to help us!" Jenna pleaded.
"Oh and you, you leave with them for eight hours, fucking all over the woods? You know what? Why don't you get the fuck out too?" Trent said angrily to Jenna.
You were running off so much adrenaline at that point that you couldn't stop the words that came out of your mouth, "are you fucking kidding me, bro? You say that like you and Bree weren't just up there fucking! We've been dealing with a murderer, so maybe you should shut the fuck up!" you truly didn't care what these people thought of you, so the burning embarrassment you thought would follow your rant, never came.
Clay backed you up, yelling just as loud, if not louder, "listen, dumb shit! There's a bigger problem-" Trent cut Clay off by pushing him back.
"Are you serious? There is a killer out there! He's the one who cut the lights!" Clay shouted as Jenna stepped in front of Trent.
You didn't make a move to stop Clay. You honestly wanted him to knock this guy out. You'd rather do it yourself, but it would be just as satisfying watching Clay knock the guy to the floor.
"Trent, don't you get it? Chelsea and Nolan never came back," Jenna continued to plead with Trent, "Lawrence, what are you doing?" Jenna questioned her friend as he grabbed a hanging frying pan from off its hook and headed for the back door.
"My boys still out there. I'm gonna go get him" he replied.
"That's a really bad idea, dude," you told him.
"Yeah, don't go out there. Please" Clay pleaded with him.
"Look, I told you, all right? You can't get a handle on me. I'll surprise you every time," he said with a confident smirk before heading out the back door.
'He's fucking dead,' you thought as you shook your head.
"Guys this is bullshit. The power goes out here all the time" Trent said after all of you had waited for Lawrence in silence for a while.
Suddenly, you heard screams in the distance.
"Help me!" you heard Lawrence scream from outside, "help! Help me! Please, help me!"
"Lawrence," Jenna said before running toward the back door.
Clay stepped in front of her put his hands out to stop her, "no, no, no. You can't go out there."
"We have to help him." she said.
"No, we can't-"
You cut Clay off, "he's just using your friend as bait. He wants us to go out, because the second we do, he's gonna get us too.
"Look, you don't know that," Trent said, but the shake in his voice told you that he wasn't so sure.
"Jesus, where are the police?" Bree cried out before walking into the kitchen out of view.
You could still hear Lawrence screaming for help in the distance, "I can't move!"
"Look, we have to help him," Jenna said, but you just shook your head no.
You all stood there in silence, other than Lawrence's screams, "I can't die like this! Help me, please! Trent!" you wanted to help him, but what help would you be to him dead?
"Somebody has to do something! Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Bree yelled frantically as she began to sob.
You heard one final scream from outside, then nothing. All you could hear now were the sounds of Bree sobbing. Jenna reluctantly turned and walked over to where Bree was sat on the floor with her knees hugged to her chest.
"Everything's going to be okay. The cops are on their way" Jenna said to Bree as she knelt down next to her.
"You hear that?" you whispered to Clay.
He nodded, "yeah. Nothing."
A shiver ran down your spine as you realized Lawrence was most likely dead. The realization made your heart begin to pound loudly in your ears again. You couldn't hear anything over the thumping as the events of the last few hours flashed through your mind. You felt warm hands on your shoulders before being turned to the left.
"Y/N? Are you okay?" Clay asked you with a concerned look on his face.
"Y-Yeah," you lied.
"Listen to me. I am not going to let anything happen to you. We are both gonna get out of this alive," he told you firmly, but still being gentle with you at the same time.
You nodded furiously as the tears began to well up in your eyes. Clay wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into his chest. He held you close, rubbing your back softly as you sniffed, trying to keep the tears in. You jumped when you heard sudden banging, and you turned to see Trent walking up the stairs. You also noticed the phone lying in pieces on the ground.
"W-What are you doing?" Clay asked him
Trent ignored him, continuing up the stairs. Bree went up after him soon after. You and Clay went back over to look out the back doors. Jenna came over and stood next to you, handing both of you a flashlight.
A few minutes passed when a knocking on the door made Jenna jump and let out a gasp. Clay shushed her. The three of you stood still as statues.
"Police!" you heard someone yell from the door.
"Oh, thank god" Jenna said as you let out a breath you didn't realize you were holding it.
"Go, go" Clay ushered you to the front door.
"Police, open up!"
Jenna pushed the curtain back to the window next to the door. Before you could pull the door open, a sharp object came through it, the tip of it just barely missing your eye. You were frozen in fear as Jenna screamed and sprinted away from the door.
"Oh shit. Oh shit. Go, go, go" Clay grabbed you but the waist and yanked you away from the door.
You were snapped out of your shock and the three of you ran up the stairs and into the first room you found. Clay ran over to shut any open windows.
"Get the door," Clay said.
"Okay, shit," Jenna muttered as you both turned; she let out a short scream when Trent appeared in the door way, making you jump slightly.
"What are you doing? Is he in the house?" Trent asked.
"He killed the cop" Jenna told him.
Trent cocked the pistol he was holding.
"What the fuck, you've got a gun? Let's go, now!" Clay gestured toward the gun then out the door.
You rushed quickly out of the room. Suddenly, Trent stopped and turned to shoot a few shots into the closet.
"For fucks sake!" you yelled as your hands flew up to cover your ears.
"Jesus! What are you doing!? Give me the gun!" Clay yelled at him.
You heard a thud inside the next room to your right.
"Someone's in there," Jenna said with a shake in her voice.
Clay pushed you and Jenna back as Trent turned around started shooting blindly at the closed door.
"Check it out" Clay ordered him.
Trent walked slowly toward the door before turning the handle and attempting to push it open. It seemed like something was in the way, but after one final push, it opened. Trent leaned in to check before he quickly out and shut the door.
"Bree's dead. He killed Bree!" he shouted before turning and running down the stairs.
The three of you followed him down the stairs and to the front door. Clay unlocked it and pulled the door open.
"Holy fuck" you heard the shake in your own voice as you saw the cop; a fire poker had been jabbed through his eye, and you shuddered at the fact that you could have suffered a similar fate. Clay patted down the cop, in hopes of finding anything useful.
"There's no gun, no keys, nothing. Let's go," you ran toward the cop car and Trent tried opening the passenger door with no luck.
You followed Clay to his motorcycle, "where are the keys?" he asked as he searched around for them.
"I don't know!" you replied, continuing to frantically search the ground for them.
"Help! We got officers down!" you heard Trent yell into what you assumed was the cops radio.
"My keys are gone. Where are my keys? Are they in my jacket?" you shoved your hands into the pockets of his jacket that you were wearing, finding them empty.
"No, I don't know where they are!"
"Hey Jenna, fuck these two. Let's get out of here!" Trent turned to grab at the radio again when suddenly, Bree's dead body fell on top of the hood of the cop car; the windshield shattered as Trent began to scream.
Jenna screamed too as Clay began pushing both of you you, "go, go, go!" he repeated as he pushed you toward the woods.
You ran down the trail that went around the lake, and back toward the camp. You jogged the way you had went earlier that day. When you got to the entrance of the camp, Clay led you off on a side path you hadn't noticed before.
"He was headed this way. Come on" you followed Clay to the large cabin you saw the figure walking towards earlier.
You snuck your way inside. Clay led as you held onto his hand tightly, your other arm linked with Jenna's as you crept through the cabin. The place was a decaying mess, just like the rest of the cabins had been. This one was bigger though, and it looked like it had been a counselor cabin. The more you looked around, the more it looked like someone's actual house. As you were walking through the house, you thought you heard distant, muffled screaming.
Clay stopped, seemingly he had heard it too, "did you hear that?" Clay asked and you nodded.
"What was that?" Clay shushed Jenna, and the three of you stood there in silence for a moment.
You heard another scream and it sounded like it came from below you.
"What the fuck..." Clay muttered as he began pushing debris aside with his foot. He used the small pickaxe tool he had found earlier to pull open what seemed to be some sort of basement or cellar door.
You shined your flashlight down to see that it was only a few feet deep. Clay dropped down into the hole before helping you and Jenna down. You crouched down and crawled into what looked like old mining tunnels. They were cluttered with old camping equipment, and other random junk. There was the occasional lantern hung up to keep the tunnels lit.
You walked quietly through the tunnels before coming to a fork. Clay looked at both of his options before turning down the right path.
"This way," Clay said before leading the way down the long tunnel.
The tunnel led to another cluttered area. Off to the right, you saw Whitney chained up and sat on a dirty mattress on the floor.
"Clay? Y/N?" she said in disbelief.
"Whitney? Whitney!" Clay said as he rushed over to her.
"Oh my god, Whitney!" you exclaimed as you followed him.
You were surprised to see her still alive. You were beyond thankful, but after seeing that headless body, your hope of finding her had diminished greatly.
"Thank god," Clay knelt down and hugged her.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he held her close.
"Yeah. Thank god," she echoed.
"You're okay. You're okay. Oh god," he said as he pulled away, holding her face in his hands.
You knelt down next to her and looked down at the chains holding her in place.
"Just get me out of here," Whitney begged.
"We will, we're gonna get you out of here" you told her as you aimed the flashlight down so Clay could see.
"Come on, you guys, let's go," Jenna said frantically from behind you.
"Can you break it? Just break it," Whitney said.
Clay picked up his pickaxe and Whitney held her hands up on a box next to her. You reached over and helped to keep her hands apart and steady. It was a futile effort, as all your hand were shaking.
"Hold still" Clay told her.
"Please hurry," Whitney cried.
Clay reared back then whacked the pickaxe down, missing the chain.
"We gotta get out of here" you heard Jenna whimper from behind you.
"I don't wanna hit you," he said, worriedly.
"Just fucking do it!" Whitney said.
"Okay, okay" Clay took another swing, missing again.
You heard a loud thud in the distance.
"Oh god" Whitney whispered.
One more swing and Clay broke the chain.
"You guys, I can see him. He's coming," Jenna said as she ran back toward you.
"We gotta go," you said as you stood up.
"Grab onto me," Clay told Whitney as he wrapped his arm around her middle.
You helped him lift her up off the ground and the four of you started running down the tunnel, the opposite way of which you came. You ran a few minutes before Jenna stopped in front of you.
"It's a dead end. What are we gonna do?" you heard her say as you saw the end of the tunnel, "Clay?Hurry," Jenna pleaded as he looked around for a way out.
"Here. Here!" Clay pushed on a grate that was above you; he pulled and yanked on it but it wouldn't budge.
He looked down in front of him at a pile of boxes, "we can get through here," you and Clay knocked them down to reveal a small opening in the dirt wall.
"Follow me," Clay said before he crawled in first.
He turned around and stuck his hand out to Whitney, and you ushered her inside. You quickly followed, taking Clay's hand and letting him pull you in. You turned around to help Jenna.
"Give me your hand, Jenna. Come on hurry. Okay, I got you," Clay said as he grabbed Jenna's hand.
Before you could pull her all the way in, a machete was plunged through Jennas chest. Whitney screamed as you all fell back.
"Oh my- fuck! Jesus, god, no," Clay tried to grab Jenna's outstretched hand.
"Clay no, come on. Clay!" Whitney said as you both tried to pull him back.
"Oh, fuck" he muttered as the blade was pulled back out of Jenna, and the man pushed her lifeless body to the side.
"She's gone Clay, we gotta go!" you grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
You ran down the tunnel as fast as you could. As you were running, Whitney accidentally kicked a box with her foot, knocking over a lantern. You heard it shatter on the ground and the loud whoosh of the flames you felt the heat behind you. You hoped that would slow the bastard down.
"Look. I think this might be a way out" Whitney said as you reached a wooden ladder leading up.
Clay climbed up, pushing floorboards out of the way, "alright. Let's go. Come on. Hurry," Clay said once he decided the coast was clear.
You let Whitney go up first, checking behind you as she climbed up the rickety ladder. Clay pulled her up before reaching down to help you.
"Come on," you climbed up and reached out for his hand, letting him pull you up and out of the hole, "let's go," he said as he turned and started walking.
You quickly realized you were in an overturned bus. Clay walked to the other end of it with you and Whitney close behind. The door to leave was above you, and Clay yanked and hit at it to get it open.
"Shit, it's stuck," Clay muttered.
Finally he was able to yank on the handle and it squeaked open. Clay climbed out before reaching down to help you.
"Give me your hand!" Clay called down to you.
You helped push Whitney up and out of the hole as she reached for Clays hand.
"On three. One, two-" before he could finish, something pulled him back.
"Run! Whitney, Y/N, get-" he was cut off as he was yanked away.
"Clay!" Whitney yelled.
"Clay!" you echoed her.
"Stop it!" Whitney yelled as Clays head was smashed through a window above you.
"No! Clay!" you looked up and saw the man who had been terrorizing you; his face was covered by a hockey mask, but you could see his wide eyes staring down at you.
"Shit. Shit, what do we do?" Whitney cried.
"We hide. Move, move" you pushed her toward the other end of the bus.
Whitney climbed up onto a small ledge above the hole you just came out of. You crouched down to the left behind a row of bus seats at the very back of the bus. You stayed quiet as the man walked slowly over to the hole before looking down into it.
"Fuck you," you heard Whitney spit.
You peeled out from your hiding spot to watch her use both her feet to kick him backwards, causing him to fall into the hole.
She hopped off the ledge, tripping and falling face first on the floor. The man came up out of the hole and grabbed onto Whitney's ankle. She screamed as she tried to crawl froward. Her nails scraped along the metal of the bus. She kicked at the man's face, but he didn't let go. She continued to scream as you looked around for anything to help. You noticed a plank and your feet, and you lifted it up over his head. You brought it down hard, knocking him down into the hole and forcing him to release his grip on Whitney's ankle. You jumped over the hole and helped Whitney to her feet as you heard creaking above you.
"Y/N! Whitney!" Clay yelled from above you.
"Clay!" Whitney called back, running toward the other end of the bus, you close behind.
The rain started to pour down onto the three of you as Clay helped you out of the bus. You helped push Whitney up before Clay pulled you up. He helped the two of you hop off the side of the bus before you started running off into the woods as the rain soaked through your clothes. You ran for awhile before coming across the barn you had stopped at earlier in the day. Clay made sure the coast was clear before waving you over.
"Hide" Clay whispered as you stepped into the cluttered barn.
Whitney grabbed onto your hand and pulled you to the left, the two of you crouching down behind a pile of random junk. Clay walked further into barn as you knelt down behind some boxes with Whitney. Suddenly you heard a loud crash. You couldn't see their fight from where you were crouched down. Whitney stood up slightly and peeked out to watch. You waited a few seconds before looking over her shoulder.
The man pulled out his machete and swung it at Clay. Your whole body tensed as Clay dodged the blade and pushed the masked man back into the wall. He was quick to flip Clay around and slam him against a huge wood chipper. It whirred to life, and you recognized it to be the machinery you had heard earlier that day. The man threw Clay to the floor before picking him back up by his hair, pushing his head toward the spinning blades of the wood chipper.
"Shit, Whitney, we have to do something or he's gonna kill Clay," Whitney looked like she was thinking before she stood up and walked to the center of the barn.
"Whitney, wait!" you whisper yelled, but she didn't listen.
You stayed hidden, looking around for some kind of weapon. You saw a metal baseball bat lying in the grassy floor next to you. You picked it up and readied yourself to run out if you needed to.
"Jason," Whitney called out.
You watched him turn and look at her. She held something up, it looked like a necklace of some sort. You peered out and watched the killer throw Clay to the ground.
"It's okay," Whitney said as she began to walk closer to him, "you can stop now. It's okay," you didn't know what the hell she was doing, but it was too late to stop her now.
You watched Clay charge him, hitting him with something in his back. You stood and rushed over as Clay wrapped chain around his neck. Whitney took the other end of the chain and threw it into the wood chipper. The chain got stuck, and yanked Jason into the air by his neck. He thrashed around in the air, trying to get free, with no luck. Clay walked around him and back over to you and Whitney.
Suddenly, the board snapped that the chain was wrapped around snapped, causing Jason to fall to the floor. He quickly got back up, grabbing a piece of the broken wood and hitting Clay across the face with it. He went flying backwards until he hit the wall of the barn, falling to the floor. Jason then turned and hit you in the stomach, causing you to fly backwards too. You landed in a pile of junk, every part of your body aching.
"Y/N!?" you only groaned in pain as you felt a pair of hands grab you, "Y/N! Are you okay?" Clay pulled you up and into his arms.
"I don't know" he held you up as he helped you walk back towards Whitney.
You looked over and saw Jason, laying back against the wood chipper, covered in blood with a machete in his chest. You then looked over at Clay, who had a cut on his left cheek. You reached up and cupped his cheek gently. You also noticed the bruise already forming on his chin where he had been hit with the plank of wood.
"Can you stand?" he asked you.
You nodded as you tried to put your weight back into your wobbly legs, "I think so. Let's get out of here, leave this for someone else."
"What if he..." Whitney trailed off.
"He won't. There's no way. Let's just get the hell out of here!"
Whitney nodded in agreement. The three of you started to head out of the barn, Clay keeping you upright with an arm around your middle. Whitney was on your either side, holding you up as well.
You couldn't help but take one last look behind you, and you could have sworn you saw him twitch. You ignored it, telling yourself that it was finally over.
"I told you we'd make it out alive," Clay said with a weak smile.
"I told you we'd find Whitney," you kissed his cheek before doing the same to Whitney, and she chuckled, which made smile.

Warnings: none :)
Summary: you invited robin over to study, but she’s more interested in going through your things.
Words: 744
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
You should have known you weren't going to be able to get any studying done. Within three minutes of sitting down, Robin had hopped back up off your bed. She was currently going around your room, rummaging through your things. Even though she would do this every time she entered your room, she still managed to find new things to get excited over.
You sighed as you watched her move from your closet to your vanity. As she went, she grabbed a random hat off the hook it was hanging on before pulling it on over her messy hair. She sat down at your vanity, looking around the surface before opening the drawers.
"Ooo! What's this?" she asked excitedly. A smile tugged at the corner of your lips, as the annoyance you were feeling immediately dissipated. "It's my makeup bag. Now could you please come sit down? Do I have to remind you that I'm already graduated, and this is to help you not flunk out?"
She got up and walked the few steps to your bed, falling face down onto it. She laid on her stomach with her legs dangling off the edge of your bed. She had opened your makeup bag and brought it with her, continuing to go through it as you pushed her textbook closer to her.
"How did I never know you had so much makeup?" she asked as she held up a tube of eyeliner. She brought it close to her face, squinting her eyes to read the small text on the side of the tube. You couldn't help but admire her scrunched you face for a moment before you spoke. "I don't know, I wear makeup sometimes. It doesn't really matter. What matters right now, are your grades" you pushed the textbook closer to her until it touched her arm.
"Can I put this on you?" she turned and held the tube of eyeliner up to you. "You don't even know how" you said matter of factly. "I want to practice!" she declared before crawling across your bed to you. She pushed you back slightly, sitting in your lap for better access.
You looked up at her with an amused smile as she twisted open the eyeliner. "What?" she asked, wondering why you were staring at her like that. "Hm? I just got distracted, that's all" her cheeks began to turn pink as you smiled. "Shut up" she mumbled with a small smile as she leaned forward to put the eyeliner on your eyelids.
You stayed still, only closing the eye she was working on so you could watch her work with the other. Her tongue barely peeked out of her lips as she concentrated on making your eyeliner look nice. It only took her a few more minutes to finish with your other eye. Once she was done, she slid off your lap. "Check out my art" she smiled wide and proud as you climbed off your bed to look in your vanity mirror.
"It actually wasn't that difficult to do. Okay, maybe it was a little bit. I don't know if I even did that good of a job. You'd tell me if it looked bad right? I can take the criticism, don't worry, I won't be mad. The more I look at it the more I think I did a shit job. What do you think? You think it looks like shit too, don't you?" Robin rambled on as you looked in the mirror.
She actually hadn't done that bad of a job. Her lines were a little uneven, but it wasn't anything too noticeable. "You did a good job. It looks great" you said as you leaned over and kissed her cheek. "R-Really? You like it? You think I did a good job? Because I still kinda think it looks like shit. I mean, you do it way better than I-" you cut off her with a quick kiss to her lips.
"It looks great. I love it" you said quietly before kissing her again. "Now, will you sit down and study? Please?" she shook her head no. "Why would I do that, when I can keep going through your stuff?" she said before hopping off your bed.
You fell face down onto your pillow as you sighed defeatedly. "We have time to study later! Right now, I want you to come over here so I can put this lipstick on you!”

SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA | October 31st, 2005
"Dad? Are you okay? Dad, please wake up! Dad!"
You jolted upright in bed, panting as you tried to catch your breath and calm yourself down. You didn't get much of a chance to do that though. Your phone began to ring loudly from your bedside table, making you flinch. You reached out and fumbled around in the darkness for a few seconds before your fingers wrapped around the cold metal. You used your thumb to flip it open and held it up to your ear.
"Hello?" you could hear the shake in your own voice.
"Are you alright? Did I call at a bad time?" you immediately recognized the voice on the other end.
"I'm alright, Dean. I just had a nightmare, that's all."
"The usual one?"
"Mhm," you hummed in response.
"Well, we can do all our usual remedies after I pick you up," you could hear in his voice that he had a huge grin on his face.
"What? I thought you were in New Orleans?"
"I was. I had been waitin' on my dad, but he never showed. I haven't been able to get a hold of him for a few weeks," Dean told you.
"So? There were plenty of times that we weren't able to get a hold of him on a hunt when we were kids," you said, skeptical that John was truly missing.
John had always been one to drink a few too many in celebration of a hunt well done. You, Sam, and Dean would think something terrible had happened to him, but he would eventually stumble back in a few weeks later. The longest he had left the three of you alone was almost three months. Bobby stopped letting John take you on hunts after he found out about that.
"This is different. Somethin's happened, somethin' bad, if he's not dead already. I can feel it."
"Are you sure he's not just out on another bender?" you asked, disbelief evident in your tone.
"I'm sure, Y/N. I can explain more after I pick you up. Please, I need you to trust me on this," Dean pleaded through the phone.
You were hesitant to say yes. Usually you'd hop at the chance to go on a hunt with Dean, but this was different. You could hear in his voice that Dean believed that John was missing, and that he was worried. You trusted Dean, but you didn't trust his father. It could be another one of his 'hunter trials' to test if you were worthy to be hunters. He hadn't orchestrated one of those in a long time, but maybe that meant you were due for another one.
"Y/N? You still there?" Dean asked when you didn't respond.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm still here. Just thinkin'."
"Ya' really gotta think that hard about it?"
There was another moment of silence while you desperately tried and failed to find the words. You had so many thoughts swirling in your mind that you didn't even know where to start. Before you could complain that you had just woken up, Dean's voice was in your ear again.
"Come on, Y/N," he was not helping you think.
"Fine! I'll come with you," you relented, giving in to the sad puppy dog eyes you couldn't see, but you knew he was doing.
"Well, good... Because I'm only an hour and a half away," you heard him chuckle, and you decided you were going to smack him upside the head when he got here.
"And what were you gonna do if I said no?" you questioned.
"Kidnap you. Obviously."
"Like I'd let you."
"Whatever you say, kid," he said with a chuckle. "Just be packed and ready, alright?"
"Whatever you say, boss," you mocked him playfully, "See you when you get here."
"See you when I get there," he said, ignoring your teasing.
You heard the click of the call ending, then silence. You were frozen in place at first, and the memories of your nightmare came flooding back; your father's eyes closing and never opening again... You shook your head free of the image before finally dropping your hand holding the phone into your lap. The light from the still open screen hurt your eyes as they tried to adjust to the sudden light. You sat there for a few more seconds before pushing the covers off and forcing yourself out of bed. You got dressed in comfy clothes, knowing that you'd be spending a lot of time curled up in the passenger seat of the impala.
You tried to be quiet as you crept around the house, but you should have known better than to try and sneak around a hunter's home. You were leaned down in front of the open fridge, thinking of what to write on the 'see you later' note you were going to leave behind, when you heard someone clear their throat. You stood up straight and spun around quickly to face them. Bobby had his arms crossed over his chest as he looked at you with a deep frown, and furrowed brows that made the creases in his forehead all too prominent.
"Good morning?" you said hesitantly.
"Where are you going?" Bobby asked; he had never been one for nuance.
"Um, out on a hunt," you told him with a little more confidence than before.
Even though you were twenty three, Bobby's gaze made you feel like you were sixteen again. It made you feel as if you were sneaking out to meet Sam and Dean for a late night joyride in whatever rust bucket that Dean had found(hot wired). You knew Bobby wasn't going to stop you from going, but you still didn't want to piss him off before you left. You weren't sure when you'd be back.
"Dean picking you up?" he asked, his tone a bit softer than before, but he was still frowning.
You nodded at his question, "he should be here soon."
"Alright, well, just promise me you'll be careful. And that you won't let Dean talk you into anything stupid," Bobby wagged his pointer finger at you as he said this.
"I'm always careful," you told him, even if that wasn't entirely truthful, but you'd say anything to reassure Bobby you'd be alright; the last thing you wanted him to do was worry his head off, "also I'm usually the one talking Dean out of doing anything stupid," this statement had a little more truth to it.
Bobby didn't look convinced. Not that he ever did, but you didn't want to leave him annoyed with you. You took a couple steps forward and wrapped your arms around him in a sudden hug. It didn't take long before Bobby hugged you back, squeezing you tight.
"I love you, dad. I'll be back before you know it."
Bobby sighed deeply, "I love you too, kiddo," he said before placing a kiss on the top of your head.
Bobby wasn't your biological father, but he had stepped up and been your dad for over a decade. Any other day, he would have scolded you for calling him dad. He would tell you it isn't fair to your father, that you shouldn't try to forget or replace him. You always reassured him you would never forget though. What you don't tell him is that you'll never be able to forget the image of father dying in your arms as you beg for him to keep his eyes open. Before you could dwell on the dark memory for too long, you heard a short honk of a car horn outside. You pulled away and stood up straight in front of Bobby, raising a brow at him as if to silently ask, 'you gonna be alright?'
"Just go. Don't forget to call every once in a while so I know you're still alive" Bobby gestured toward the door.
"I will," you said as you walked to the front door, picking your duffel bag up off the floor, "bye, Bobby," you turned and waved to him with a smile, opting to not call him dad this time.
"Bye, Y/N," he waved back halfheartedly.
You turned back and headed out the front door, a rush of cold air biting at your exposed skin. If you were gone long enough, there would surely be a thick blanket of snow covering the junk yard by the time you got back. You noticed the impala in the driveway before looking up at the sky. You shut the door behind you as you admired the fiery shades of red and orange that were painted across the sky by the sunrise. You admired it for a moment before stepping down the porch steps. The gravel crunched under your boots as you walked over to the passenger side of the impala. You opened the back door and threw duffel bag in before getting into the passenger seat.
"Morning," you said to Dean once you had plopped down.
"Mornin'," he replied, wasting no time in pulling out of the driveway and back onto the road, gravel crunching loudly under the tires all the while, "I brought you some breakfast," he pointed to the fast food bag sitting on the seat next to you.
"Thanks," you mumbled as you grabbed the bag and pulled out the breakfast sandwich Dean had ordered for you.
You unwrapped your food and ate silently, the only sound coming from the Bob Seger tape that was playing softly through the speakers. You recognized the song to be Against The Wind. You thought back to the last time you saw Dean, and you realized it had been a few months. You kept in touch over the phone the best you could, but he had never been good at that, and you weren't much better. The last time you had seen him was about four months ago. You had gotten into a fight over John. Most of your fights revolved around him. It had been a simple misunderstanding during a hunt that made John flip his shit, and you were never one to take shit from him. Dean had barely made a move to defend you, and it hurt. He had apologized to you later, but it had been a Winchester style apology; a halfhearted one. You couldn't help but remember that fight now. Dean cleared his throat loudly, pulling you out of your thoughts. His thumbs drummed against the steering wheel has he hummed along to the music. You crumpled up the sandwich paper and threw it in the bag.
"So, we have a few stops to make," he told you with a grin, obviously trying to diffuse the building tension.
"Oh, yeah?" you replied, raising a questioning brow at him.
"Yeah, the first being a gas station. You can pick out some snacks for our drive."
"Good, because you always grab barbecue chips," you complained teasingly.
"What's wrong with a little BBQ?" he said, enunciating each letter in 'BBQ.'
"There's nothing necessarily wrong with barbecue, but eating them for every road trip can get a little boring."
"Fair enough. You still have to grab me a bag of them though."
"Yeah, will do."
Dean pulled off the main road and into the gas station parking lot. He pulled up to a gas pump and turned off the engine. He took out a few fives from his wallet and handed them to you. You said a quiet 'thanks' before you both climbed out of the impala.
"Don't forget my BBQ!" Dean called after you as you headed into the convenience store while he went to the gas pump.
It was only a few minutes before the two of you were back in your seats. You handed Dean his barbecue chips and a root beer before dropping your own snacks in your lap. Dean tore into his chips like a hungry bear, grabbing a handful and stuffing it into his mouth. You couldn't help but laugh at him as you opened your own snack.
"So, you gonna tell me why you think John is missing?" you asked, once he had chewed and swallowed.
"I know he's missing. He was hunting something that was killing men, and he left me a concerning voicemail that had some EVP," he explained, "I can let you listen to it when we get to our next destination," you furrowed your brows at his words, but you had a sudden realization.
"You wanna pick up Sam," you said simply.
Dean looked over at you with wide eyes, "how'd you know? You read my mind or somethin'?"
"We're gonna be in California, and we're gonna pass his place anyway. Just an educated guess," you shrugged, "also I'm not a mind reader, I'm a medium," you added.
"It's all the same to me," Dean said with a shrug as he started the impala and pulled out of the gas station; you decided not to lecture him on the differences between psychics and mediums.
"What if he says no?" you asked the question on both your minds after a few moments of silence.
Dean didn't respond, but you knew he had heard you. You looked over to see him expressionless, staring out at the open road.
"Dean?"
"You sure you're not a mind reader?" he tried to joke to change the subject, but you didn't laugh, and he frowned at your furrowed brows, "he won't. Dad's missing and we need his help. He has to say yes," you wondered how many time he had told himself that.
You were at an impasse, which frequently happened when you had to get in the middle of Winchester family drama. A part of you didn't want Sam to say yes. You knew he wanted to give up hunting for good, and you didn't blame him. You only wanted what was best for him, but there was another part of you that wanted him to say yes. You missed him every day. You tried to tell yourself you weren't pulling him all the way back into hunting, that you were just looking for John. A small voice in the back of your head knew better though. You knew this life loved to sink its claws in and never let go. Only a lucky few were able to fully detach themselves from the hunting lifestyle. Even then, it was impossible to scrub the stain of the hunting life off your hands. You weren't sure which answer you wanted Sam to give.
You and Dean sat in silence for awhile, both caught up in your own thoughts. You glanced over at Dean as the song that was playing came to an end. You took in Dean's tense posture, and how tightly he was gripping the steering wheel. You recognized the beginning of Black Dog by Led Zeppelin playing quietly through the speakers, and you immediately reached out to turn it up. You were the only person Dean allowed to touch his radio. You rested your arm on the back of the seat and leaned your body into his side slightly.
"Hey hey mama said the way you move. Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove," you sang along loudly into his ear.
You played the air guitar and you saw Dean glance at you from the corner of his eye. You could see him trying to hide his smirk.
"Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thang. Gonna make you burn gonna make you sting," you continued to sing along, gently nudging Dean's side with your elbow.
You saw him start to drum his thumbs against the steering wheel along to the beat as you continued to play air guitar.
"Hey hey baby when you walk that way. Watch your honey drip, can't keep away," you and Dean sang in unison.
You sang along to the rest of the song together. You occasionally played air guitar while Dean pretended to play the drums; you had to remind him to put his hands back on the wheel a few times. The song eventually came to an end, and the next song began playing. Dean reached out and turned it down slightly.
"I missed that," you said with a smile.
"Oh, don't get all sappy on me now," he said with a groan.
"What? No 'chick flick moments'?" you said sarcastically, making air quotes.
"Yeah, exactly. No chick flick moments," Dean repeated seriously.
"Whatever you say... Jackass," you said quietly with a smirk.
"Shithead," Dean was quick with his comeback, and he reached over to pinch your side, but you quickly swatted his hand away while laughing.
There wasn't much tension between you to begin with, but the little bit that had been there faded away with the end of the song. The rest of the long ride was filled with boring games of eye spy and spotting out of state license plates. You were glad to be in the impala with Dean again. You wished it was under better circumstances, but you were excited to see Sam again too.
PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA
The sun had long since set by the time you arrived at Sam's apartment building. You had your window rolled down, the humid California night air made your exposed skin feel sticky, but you enjoyed the breeze. Dean pulled into the parking lot and parked up close to the front door of the building. You both unbuckled your seatbelts, but he put his hand out to stop you from opening your door.
"I'll go get him," he said with a mischievous grin on his face, so you nodded and sat back in your seat, "I'll be quick," he said before hopping out of the impala.
You watched Dean creep up to the front door of the building before he slinked inside and out of view. You leaned out of your open window to take in a deep breath of fresh air. It wasn't a great time to be alone with your thoughts, since all you could think about was that you were seeing Sam again after two years. You had kept in touch over the phone, but it wasn't the same as meeting up in person. Living almost across the country from each made it hard to hang out. At least that's what you told yourself. Sam had asked you to come visit a few months ago, but you had declined. You didn't think you'd be able to face him alone.
You didn't have to be left alone for long though. Before you knew it, you could hear the distant sounds of the brothers bickering. You knew those sounds all too well. You could hear them arguing about something, but you couldn't make you any words. You were about to yell at them to come out when the door finally opened. Dean came out first, Sam following close behind. Sam was gesturing wildly with his arms as he spoke, and Dean rolled his eyes. You opened the door and stepped out of the impala, causing both of them to turn and look at you.
"Y/N?" Sam uttered the moment he saw you.
You smiled wide as you shut the passenger door and started walking towards him. It only took Sam a few strides to meet you in the middle with open arms. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around you, hugging you tight and almost lifting you up off the ground. You stood on your tip toes and hugged him back just as tight, cherishing your first hug after two years apart.
"It's so good to see you," Sam said before pulling away; his smile was gentle and sweet, and you forgot how much you had missed those dimples of his.
"I didn't get a hug when I picked you up," you heard Dean mumble from behind you.
You turned away from Sam to face him. He was stood there pouting slightly with his arms crossed over his chest. You shook your head with an amused smile.
"Oh, sorry Dean. Did you want a hug? I can give you one too," you said a bit teasingly, but only because no matter what answer he gave, you were hugging him.
"No, it's fine-" you had your arms wrapped around his middle before he could finish speaking.
You hugged him tight, and he wrapped his arms loosely around you. He gave you a quick squeeze before patting you softly on the back. You pulled away and he shook his head at you with a small smile before turning towards the trunk.
"Anyway," he mumbled before popping the trunk and lifting the spare tire hatch inside to reveal all his hunting equipment, "where the hell did I put that thing?" he said to himself as he rummaged around the trunk.
"So, when dad left, why didn't you go with him?" Sam asked as he leaned against the side of the impala to watch Dean rifle through the disorganized mess.
"I was workin' my own gig. This voodoo thing down in New Orleans" Dean replied without looking up.
"Dad let you go on a hunting trip by yourself?" Sam asked, incredulously.
"I'm 26, dude," Dean deadpanned, and you laughed.
Sam looked over at you with raised brows, which made you laugh even harder, "shut up, both o' ya's. Alright, found it," Dean picked up a small manila folder and pulled a small stack of papers out.
"Dad was checking out this two lane blacktop just outside of Jericho, California. About a month ago, this guy-" Dean handed Sam a piece of paper off the top of the stack; Sam took it and held it out for both of you to see, "they found his car but he'd vanished; completely M.I.A.," there was a photo of a middle aged man next to an article about his disappearance.
"Maybe he was kidnapped?" Sam suggested.
"Kidnapped by a ghost maybe," you joked as you nudged Sam with your elbow.
"Yeah, here's another one in April, another one in December '04, '03, '98, '92," Dean slid a paper off the stack for each year he said, "ten of 'em over the past twenty years," he reached out and snatched the paper from Sam's hand, throwing it back on the stack, "all men, all same 5 mile stretch of road. Started happening more and more, so dad went to go dig around. That was about three weeks ago. I hadn't heard from him since, which is bad enough, and then I get this voicemail yesterday."
Dean reached out and grabbed a tape recorder from off the top of the mess. He pressed play and you could hear John's voice come through the speaker, but it was staticky and garbled.
"Dean.... something-starting to happen...-think it's serious... I need t-... figure out what's going on... Be very careful, Dean.... We're all in danger...," a chill went up your spine as you listened to the message.
"You know there's EVP on that?," Sam said the moment Dean pressed pause.
"Not bad, Sammy. Kind of like riding a bike, isn't it?" Dean said with an amused smirk, and Sam only shook his head at him.
You couldn't focus on their banter, because you knew what was coming next. You stared expectantly down at the tape recorder in Dean's hand. You saw him glance at you in your peripheral.
"You think you'll be able to get anything from a recording?" Dean asked. 
"I might get something, we'll just have to see," you replied with a shrug.
"Alright," Dean said before pressing play again.
"I can never go home..." a woman whispered through the static, and you felt another chill up your spine, but this time it was accompanied by a wave of grief and intense anger.
Your hands gripped the edge of the trunk so tightly that your knuckles turned white. Dean looked over at you expectantly but you shook your head at him.
"Nothing helpful," you muttered as you continued to shake your head back and forth, trying to shake away the invasive feelings.
"It's alright," Dean reached out and rubbed your back soothingly for a moment before tossing the tape recorder back into the trunk.
Sam quickly took Dean's place as he wrapped a comforting arm around your shoulders and rubbed your bicep gently. Dean closed the trunk and stood up tall. He looked up at Sam expectantly, who only sighed deeply. You could feel the rise and fall of his chest against your cheek.
"Alright. I'll go," Sam said finally, "I'll help you find him, but I have to get back first thing Monday. Just wait here," he let his arm fall from around your shoulders and you shivered at the loss of his warmth.
"What's first thing Monday?" Dean asked as Sam turned to head back to his apartment.
"I have an interview," Sam said simply as he turned back to look at Dean.
"What, a job interview? Skip it."
"It's a law school interview, and it's my whole future on a plate" Sam explained slowly.
"Law school?" Dean asked with a questioning smirk.
"We got a deal or not?" Sam asked, ignoring Dean's question.
"Yeah, fine," Dean said after a moment of silence, and you noticed him clench his jaw in annoyance.
Sam nodded and turned to head back into his apartment building. Dean sat on the closed trunk and looked over at you with furrowed brows.
"Did you know about this law school thing?" he asked you.
"Yeah, I did," you told him, honestly.
"You guys talk regularly or something?" you heard a tinge of jealousy in his tone.
"Not all that regularly. We just update each other on major life events occasionally," that wasn't entirely true, but you'd rather not have to sit in a car with the brothers being silently angry at each other.
Dean didn't say anything else, instead he looked down at the ground and nudged a rock with his shoe. You knew Sam and Dean hadn't talked since Sam had left for college. Dean missed his little brother, and you didn't blame him. You just wanted to smack him upside the head for being so stubborn. He certainly wasn't the only Winchester you wanted to knock some sense into.
Sam came back down a few minutes later, emerging from the door of his apartment building carrying a duffel bag that mirrored your own. He tossed his in the trunk as you opened the door to the backseat. Dean furrowed his brows in confusion as he opened the drivers door.
"You don't want shotgun? You had it first, you're welcome to it."
"Nah, I'm alright. Sam always gets shotgun anyway," you said, and Sam shot you a grateful look.
You smiled back at him before getting into the backseat. You pushed your duffel bag to the floor, then you slid to sit in the middle seat, like you always did when it was the three of you. The brothers got into their respective seats before Dean started the impala.
"Alright, get comfortable kids," Dean said as he pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main road.
A FEW MILES OUTSIDE JERICHO, CALIFORNIA
Your eyes fluttered open to the sound of a car door opening and closing. You blinked rapidly as you tried to let your eyes adjust to the sudden light. You lifted your head up off your makeshift pillow that you had made from your balled up jacket. You rubbed your sore neck as you cursed yourself for forgetting a spare blanket or pillow. You somehow always forgot to bring one.
You looked around at the scenery outside the impala. Not that there was much scenery to speak of. It was a clear day, no clouds to block the sun's warm rays. You turned to your left to see a rickety old convenience store, then turned to the right to see a couple gas pumps that looked like they had seen better days. Sam had his door propped open with his foot as he went through Dean's box of cassette tapes that sat on his lap. You could imagine the disgusted face he was making at all of Dean's classic rock tapes. The warm breeze felt refreshing as you worked on waking up.
"Hey," you heard Dean call out, and you turned to your right to see him through the window, "you want breakfast?" he asked Sam, holding up a few beef sticks and a bag of chips; your stomach growled as you saw the food in his hands.
"No, thanks," Sam said, shaking his head before going back to the box of tapes, "so, how'd you pay for that stuff? You and dad still running credit card scams?" Sam called out to Dean.
"Yeah, well, hunting ain't exactly a pro ball career," Dean replied as he placed the nozzle back in the gas pump.
"You guys probably shouldn't be talking so loud about hunting and credit card scams," you said, loud enough so Dean could hear from outside the car.
The drivers side door opened a moment later and Dean climbed inside, continuing to talk loudly, having not heard or cared about your advice. You looked around and realized there didn't seem to be anyone else at the gas station. You just hoped the clerk didn't hear Dean's noisy confession.
"Y'know, all we do is apply for the cards. It's not our fault they send 'em."
You rolled your eyes at him. He set a soda down in the cup holder, and you reached out and snatched a beef stick from his hand. Dean silently handed you a bottle of water that you hadn't even seen him holding. You took it gratefully before setting it down next to you so you could rip open the wrapper of the beef stick.
"What names did you write on the application this time?" Sam asked, a bit quieter, taking your advice as he swung his long legs back into the car and pulled the door shut.
"Uh, Burt Aframian. And his son Hector. Scored two cards out of the deal," Dean said as he turned the keys in the ignition.
"That sounds about right," Sam said before looking back down at the box of cassette tapes in his lap, "I swear, man. You've gotta update your cassette tape collection," he said with a sigh.
"Why?" you almost laughed at how defensive Dean sounded.
"Well, for one, they're cassette tapes. And two-" Sam paused, grabbing a cassette and holding it up, "Black Sabbath? Motorhead? Metallica?" he held up a cassette for each band he named, "it's the greatest hits of mullet rock," you were a little offended, considering the fact that you loved those bands too, but you knew Sam was only teasing Dean.
"House rules, Sammy," Dean grabbed the Metallica tape from Sam's hand, "driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole," you couldn't stop your laughter as Dean slotted the tape into the radio and pressed play.
Dean dropped the cassette case back in the box before he reached out and snatched the box from Sam. He tossed it back to you. You caught it with ease, setting it in the seat next to you. You smiled at the masking tape labels and crude handwriting on a majority of them. You spotted one that read 'Happy 21st B-Day D!' and it made you smile.
"You know, Sammy is a chubby twelve-year-old," Sam started, ignoring your giggles as he turned to Dean, "it's Sam, okay?" he demanded, but in a gentle way that only he could manage.
The music had already began to play, Battery playing softly through the speakers. Dean reached out and slowly turned the knob to increase the volume. Dean raised his voice along with the music.
"Sorry, I can't hear you, the music's too loud!" Dean said as he pulled out of the gas station and back onto the highway.
CENTENNIAL HIGHWAY, CALIFORNIA
Sam gave you the task of calling the hospital in the area for anyone matching John's description, while he called the morgue. It didn't take very long before you hung up the phone, having received the information you needed. You noticed a sign that read 'JERICHO 7' whiz by as Sam ended his call.
"Alright, so there's no one matching dad at the morgue."
"Or the hospital," you added.
"So that's something, I guess," Sam said.
You suddenly felt your chest tighten, and your heartbeat quickened as you seemed to be nearing a bridge. You could see it in the distance, and the only clouds in the sky covered the entire length of it. The dark clouds contrasted against the blue sky. You felt your heart drop at the sight of police cars parked near the bridge. Dean seemed to notice too as he glanced at Sam, then back at the road ahead. You could see a couple cops stood around a blue car that was parked sideways, blocking off the bridge.
"Check it out," Dean said as you neared the action.
Sam leaned forward with narrowed eyes to try to make out more details. As you got closer, it felt like a hand was being wrapped around your throat. You shivered despite the warm California air that was making you sweat. Dean pulled off on the side of the road a couple yards away from the bridge, and you were finally able to take a deep breath. There was a cloud of death that hung over that bridge.
You all sat there and watched for a few moments before Dean turned off the impala. Suddenly, he reached over and opened the glovebox. He grabbed out a small box full of fake ID cards that had his and John's pictures on them. You sighed and leaned back in your seat.
"They're gonna get suspicious if all three of us go up," you said as Dean rifled through the box.
"Then stay in the car," he answered quickly, not looking up.
"I have to get to the bridge to get anything."
"Then just go to the edge of the bridge and do your thing while Sam and I go talk to them," Dean said as he pulled out an ID from the pile before shoving the box back in the glovebox, "let's go," he said as he opened his door and climbed out of the impala.
Sam turned to you with his mouth hung open in surprise, "fake ID's? Really?" he asked, obviously annoyed with Dean.
"They're helpful," you said with a nod, "I don't like using them all that much, though," you added quickly when he shook his head disapprovingly. 
The air felt heavy as you stepped out of the impala. You couldn't pinpoint how many people had died on that bridge, but you knew it had to be many. At least one, by the looks of the empty car and confused looking cops. Sam's door shutting loudly made you force yourself to start walking. You and Sam caught up with Dean, and you took your usual place in-between the brothers, walking quickly to keep in stride with them.
"You guys find anything?" you heard a man on the right side of the bridge yell down to what you assumed were men combing the river.
"No! Nothing!" was the distant and echoed response.
Once you reached the beginning of the bridge, you slowed and departed from the brothers, heading to the left. Sam and Dean continued walking toward the blue car and the cops. You heard them begin talking with the officers, but their voices faded away as you neared the edge of the bridge. You reached out and placed your hands on the railing, using them to brace yourself as you leaned over to look down into the rushing river water.
A wave of anger washed over you, similar to the one you had felt before, when you listened to the EVP on John's voicemail. It was accompanied by a bitter sadness, and this time it was much more intense. It suddenly shifted into grief, then all you felt was cold, as if someone had dumped a bucket of the river water on your head. You shivered as a name appeared in your mind. You turned quickly to look for Sam and Dean, spotting them walking back toward the start of the bridge. You began to speed walk over to them. You watched Dean take step in front of Sam, and turned to face him as they stopped walking. They looked like they are arguing again. You shook your head as you stomped over.
"I need a pen," you demanded as you walked up to them.
"Woah, are you okay?" Sam said as he look at you, concern etched into his features.
"I'm fine, I just need a pen," you repeated, "I got a name."
"Y/N, you're crying," Sam said as he pulled his sleeve up over his thumb and wiped your left cheek while you reached up and wiped you right; sure enough there was a trail were tears had streamed down your face.
"I didn't even know I was. I don't think it was really me crying, anyway. She made me feel how she felt before she died, if that makes any sense," you rambled on as Sam wiped the rest of your tears away before taking a step back, and you didn't fail to notice the raised eyebrow look Dean gave you and Sam.
You were about to raise your hand to hit Dean on the arm, but you heard an authoritative voice come from your right that stopped you, "can I help you three?"
You turned to see the sheriff with two tall FBI agents standing behind him. All three of them stared down at you through their sunglasses. You typically didn't let cops rattle you, but the FBI were a different story. You did your best to stand up tall and stare them down right back. The sheriff looked the three of you over, his eyes landing on you.
"No, sir. We were just leaving," Dean told him.
The FBI agents didn't seem to have time for you, as they ignored Dean and walked around him, "Agent Mulder. Agent Scully," Dean joked as they passed him.
You wound back and slapped him in the arm. He laughed and rubbed his bicep as the three of you walked past the sheriff. You could feel his eyes on you as you left. Dean finally pulled out a pen and handed it to you as you walked back to the impala. You spread out your palm and wrote down the name you had been given earlier.
"Constance Welch," you said to them as you held your hand out for both of them to see.
"Who's that?" Dean asked.
"The girl who made me cry," you tried to make a joke out of it, but Sam's lips pressed into a thin line, and his brows furrowed; he never liked when the ghosts affected you like that, "I think she's the spirit that's killing the guys," you added, quickly.
"Well, we'll have to go dig up some more information. They mentioned something about the girlfriend of the kid who died. We can go talk to her and ask her a couple questions, try to figure out why he was killed," Dean explained as the three of you got into the impala.
"Are we gonna go wave fake badges in her face?" you asked, not sure if that was the best idea, "maybe Sam and I can talk to her while you go look up Constance," you suggested, and Dean glanced at you in the rearview mirror before nodding.
"Alright, fine. But I better not get stuck with the busywork next time," he said with a huff.
JERICHO, CALIFORNIA
The sidewalks were mostly empty as the impala slowly rolled down the main road of town. It was still fairly early in the day, but you expected more people to be out. It was the weekend after all. When you saw the sign above the closed movie theater, it made sense why the streets were mostly barren. 'EMERGENCY TOWN HALL MEETING; SUNDAY 8 PM; BE SAFE OUT THERE,' was the message to all the townsfolk.
"I'll bet you that's her," Dean nodded to a girl taping a pink paper on the brick wall just to the left of the theater.
Dean drove a few more feet before pulling up to the side of the road. You and Sam hopped out, and you leaned down to look at Dean through the open passenger door.
"I'll call you when we're done," you told him and he nodded.
You stood up straight and Sam shut his door. You turned and walked the few steps toward the girl. You tried not to seem too intimidating, but with Sam standing at 6'4, that was a bit of a challenge. You hoped his young face and signature puppy dog eyes would help your cause. She taped a missing poster to the wall that read 'MISSING TROY SQUIRE' underneath a smiling photo of Troy. You noticed the other missing posters that were hung up too, and you quickly realized they were all of the pervious victims you had seen in Dean's file.
"You must be Amy," you said as you approached her.
"Yeah," she replied flatly, not looking up as she secured the paper to the wall with another piece of tape.
"Yeah, Troy must have told you about us. I'm his aunt Y/N, and this is his uncle Sam," you explained to the girl with a smile.
"He never mentioned you to me," she said before turning and walking away, but you were quick to walk in stride with her.
"Well, that's Troy I guess," you said, adding in a fake chuckle, "we're not around much, we're up in Modesto."
"We're looking for him too, and we're kinda asking around," Sam said as he took a step in front of her to stop her from walking any further.
Another girl came up to Amy, gently placing a hand on her arm, "hey, are you okay?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah," Amy said with a nod, never taking her eyes off Sam.
"You mind if we ask you a couple questions?" he asked her, and she nodded.
Amy and her friend, who introduced herself as Rachel, led you down the street to a diner. It was mostly empty, other than an older couple sitting at a booth in the back right. You also noticed a seemingly bored waitress standing by the counter. She barely even noticed the four of you walk in, too busy looking down at her cellphone. Amy and Rachel slid into a booth in the far left of the diner. You and Sam slid into the side opposite them. Amy waved down the waitress and you and Sam ordered coffee, while the girls ordered sodas.
"What happened the night Troy disappeared?" you asked her gently.
"I was on the phone with Troy. He was driving home. He said he would call me right back, and...he never did," she told you, on the verge of tears.
"He didn't say anything strange, or out of the ordinary?" Sam asked.
"No. Nothing I can remember."
Amy fidgeted nervously with the charm of her necklace; it was a black pentagram. Sam took the words right out of your mouth before you could speak them.
"I like your necklace."
"Troy gave it to me. Mostly to scare my parents," She laughed, "with all that devil stuff."
You and Sam both chuckled. He glanced at you, and you shared a look of understanding.
"Actually, it means just the opposite. A pentagram is protection against evil. Really powerful. I mean, if you believe in that kind of thing." Sam explained to Amy.
"Did Troy believe in or practice anything satanic? Or was the necklace just a harmless gift?" you asked her, trying to get any sort of lead.
"It was a just a gift. I think he ordered it off the internet," she told you with a shrug.
"Well, the way Troy disappeared, somethin's not right. If either of you know anything..." Sam trailed off.
Amy and Rachel slowly turned and looked at each other.
"What is it?" Sam asked.
"Well, it's just... I mean, with all these guys going missing, people talk," Rachel replied.
You and Sam spoke in tandem, "what do they talk about?" you'd be lying if you said you hadn't missed Sam always knowing what you were going to say.
Rachel paused, glancing over at Amy before she rested her elbows on the table and leaned in, speaking quietly, "It's kind of this local legend. This one girl? She got murdered out on Centennial, like decades ago," the name Constance Welch flashed in your mind as Rachel spoke, "Well, supposedly she's still out there. She hitchhikes, and whoever picks her up? Well, they disappear forever," you glanced over at Sam who was listening intently.
"Well, let's hope it's just a legend, yeah? Thank you for answering our questions. If you think of anything else that could help," you paused as you grabbed a napkin from the holder and pulled out the pen that Dean had given you earlier, "don't be afraid to call," you wrote your phone number down on the napkin and handed it to her, smiling warmly.
"Thank you for your time," Sam said and you almost laughed at how diplomatic he sounded.
You and Sam slid out of the booth and headed for the front door. The bell above the door dinged as Sam opened it, letting you go through first. You noticed the sun starting to slowly slip below the horizon. The breeze didn't do much to cool you off, the humid air making your forehead slick with sweat. You used the back of your hand to wipe off as much moisture from your face as you could. You gestured for Sam to follow you as you started walking down the road toward the motel you had seen earlier. You pulled your cell phone out as you walked and flipped it open, quickly finding Dean's contact. You pressed call and brought the phone up to your ear. It rang twice before he picked up.
"You get anything?" he asked you eagerly.
You didn't think twice about his lack of greeting, instead you answered his question immediately, "you probably got more than we did. We got told a local legend of a woman who was murdered on Centennial, and her ghost hitchhikes and picks up poor suckers who never get seen again," you told him, but you had a feeling he was going to fill you in on the missing pieces.
"They almost got it right. Funny how much a story can change over twenty years" Dean said, more to himself than to you.
"Hold on," you said before pulling the phone away from your ear and putting him on speakerphone, "What actually happened?" you asked him.
"She committed suicide. Jumped off the bridge where they found that kids car."
"So it's gotta be her... Did it say why she did it?"
Dean sighed sadly, "the article said she left her kids in the bathtub and they drowned. She had called 911 but it had already been too late. They found her an hour later in the river."
"Geez, no wonder I felt so much grief," you muttered, more to yourself, but Sam heard it all too clearly, "did the article say where she's buried?" you asked, deciding to ignore the concerned look Sam was giving you.
"No, but it had her husbands name. Joseph Welch. If we find him I'm sure he can tell us where she's buried."
"Alright. It's getting late, though. We can meet at the motel we passed earlier and get a room for the night," you said, realizing how much your body was aching.
"Want me to head back and pick you guys up?"
"Nah, we're almost there. I can see it. Just meet us there."
"Will do. See you soon."
"See you soon," you echoed before closing your phone and shoving it back in your pocket.
There was a long pause before Sam spoke, "Are you feeling okay?"
Sam knew how drained you could feel after channeling a ghost like you did on the bridge, especially an extremely vengeful spirit like Constance. The more you thought about how exhausted you were, your limbs felt heavier.
"I'm alright, just tired," you told him, but you could see in his furrowed brow expression that he didn't believe you, "a few hours of sleep should fix me right up," you added, somewhat sarcastically.
You had just made it to the front office when you heard the all too familiar roar of the impala's engine. You turned to see Dean pull into the parking lot and park in the first parking spot he could find. He hopped out with a gloating smile, happy that he had uncovered more than the two of you. You wanted to remind him who got the name in the first place.
"Lets just get a room," you said before Dean could start gloating aloud.
The three of you walked into the office of the motel. An older looking gentleman was stood behind the counter with a polite smile. Dean pulled his fake credit card out of his wallet and dropped it down on the counter.
"One room, please," he told the clerk, his proud smile still spread wide across his face.
The man picked up the fake credit card, looking down at it before glancing up at Dean, "you guys having a reunion or something?"
"What do you mean?" Sam asked him.
"I had another guy, Burt Aframian. He came and bought out a room for the whole month," Sam and Dean shared a look.
"Which room was it?" you asked sweetly, hoping the man didn't get too suspicious.
"Number one. I only remember because he was so damn adamant about having it," he told you as he ran Dean's credit card and handed it back along with your room key.
"Thank you," you said before practically dragging the brothers out of the office, "let's get settled into our room, then we can check out John's room in a little bit. That guy might be keeping an eye out."
Sam and Dean agreed. The three of you grabbed your bags from the impala before bringing them to your room. You waited for the sun to fully set before the three of you started getting impatient. You were the first one out the door, checking to make sure that the coast was clear before the brothers followed. You walked down to the door of room one, standing shoulder to shoulder with Dean, your backs to the door as Sam knelt down to pick the lock. It only took him about thirty seconds before you heard the lock click from behind you. You turned as Sam reached out and grabbed Dean's shoulder, yanking him back into the room. You stepped in quickly after. Sam shut the door behind you as your eyes scanned the room.
"Woah," you mumbled as you both looked around the room.
There were newspaper clippings, printed articles, and photos hung on almost every inch of the walls of the motel room. There are books and papers scattered across every surface. Dean flicked a lamp on, leaning down to sniff a discarded burger underneath the light. He recoiled in disgust.
"I don't think he's been here for a couple days at least," Dean observed.
"I think you're right," you replied as you walked to the far wall, making sure to step over the salt line that blocked the door.
Sam leaned down and poked at the salt on the floor, "salt, cats eye shells. He was worried, trying to keep something from coming in," he said as he stood up straight, before walking over to stand by Dean, "what have you got here?" Sam asked his brother, who was looking at a line of papers hung up on the wall.
"Centennial Highway victims," Dean replied, looking over the obituaries to make sure there weren't any he'd missed, "I don't get it. I mean, different men, different jobs, ages, ethnicities," Sam crossed the room to stand next to you as Dean spoke, "there's always a connection, right? What do these guys have in common?"
You and Sam noticed the photos and papers hung on the wall in front of you, and it confirmed what you had already been suspicious of. Sam reached out and turned on the lamp in front of you.
"Dad figured it out," Sam said simply.
"What do you mean?" Dean asked as he turned.
"He found the same article we did. Constance Welch," Sam said, pointing at the article hung on the wall.
"She's a woman in white," you said when Dean's brows furrowed in confusion.
"You sly dogs," Dean said as he looked back at the articles of the missing men.
"The caption of the photo says Joseph Welch was thirty. The article dates to 1981, so he must be..." you paused, doing the math in your head, "sixty-four!" you said, hopeful.
"If he's still alive," Sam spoke what was on all your minds.
"We can worry about it tomorrow. I need at least a couple hours so I don't fall over," you said, a yawn enunciating your words.
"Didn't get enough beauty sleep in the car? You had the whole backseat to yourself," Dean teased as he walked to the door.
"That backseat is not as comfy for sleeping as you think it is," you protested as you stepped over the salt line.
"Better than nothing," Dean was just trying to piss you off, but unfortunately it was working.
"Well, no shit, jackass. But my neck is killing me and I'd love to sleep in a real bed," you pushed past Dean and out the door, checking to make sure no one was outside before leaving.
You got into the room first, taking your opportunity to enter the bathroom and have a quick shower before Dean used up all the hot water. You had the water running and the door closed when you heard Sam and Dean enter the room. You could heard Dean's muffled voice from the other side of the door You heard only a garbled mess of words until you heard your name. You quietly crept up to the bathroom door, pressing your ear up against it. Their voices were quieter now, but you were sure you had heard Dean say your name. You decided it probably wasn't best to ease drop. You couldn't hear what they were saying anyway. You gave up, stepping away from the door and continuing with your shower.
Dean was already passed out in one of the two king sized beds by the time you were out of the bathroom. You chuckled at his loud snoring as you stuffed your dirty clothes into your duffel bag. Sam was sat at the small table near the window, looking down at his phone. You stood awkwardly, wringing your hands as you contemplated what to say or do.
"The bathroom's free if you want to take a shower," you said finally.
Sam jumped slightly, looking a bit startled. He hadn't noticed you come out of the bathroom. Were you that sneaky or was he that distracted? You guessed it was a bit of both.
"Oh, thanks, but I'm good."
"Alright," you glanced at Dean, then back at Sam, "I don't think you'll want to share with him, so you can share with me," you felt your ears warming up but you did your best to ignore it.
"After having to sit in the front seat with him all day, I'd rather not have to deal with him hogging the covers all night. Thank you," Sam said gratefully, but he made no move to get into the bed, instead looking back down at his phone.
You nodded before walking over to the empty bed, laying on the right side. You left the side facing Dean's bed for Sam.
"Goodnight, Sam."
"Goodnight, Y/N."
~~~~~~~~~
You're sat on the floor, your father's head in your lap. Your hands are slick with his blood as you hold the sides of his face.
"Dad? Are you okay? Dad, please wake up! Dad!"
You jolted awake, sitting up straight as you looked around your unfamiliar surroundings. Your eyes met Sam's as he stood next to the bed, his hand on your shoulder.
"Nightmare?" you can barely hear him over your heart pounding in your ears.
You nodded as you took in a shaky breath. Sam's hand moved to your back, rubbing in soft circles. It actually helped ground you, and you were able to catch your breath fairly quickly. Dean came out of the bathroom as Sam let his hand fall from your back.
"You okay?" he asked you and you nodded quickly.
"I'm just gonna get ready," you mumbled, feeling awkward having both of them looking at you worriedly.
You stood and walked over to your duffel bag, grabbing out a change of clothes and heading into the bathroom. You could hear Sam and Dean's hushed voices as you got dressed. They went silent a few moments before you exited the bathroom. Sam was sat on the bed as he listened to a voicemail from who you assumed to be Jessica. You watched Dean pull on his jacket.
"Hey, man, I'm starving. I'm gonna grab a little something to eat at that diner down the street. You want anything?" Dean asked Sam.
"No," he replied.
"Aframian's buying," Dean joked.
Sam only shook his head, and Dean sighed, turning to you.
"You hungry? Wanna go get some greasy diner food?" he asked enthusiastically.
"For breakfast? I'm hoping for some pancakes or something," you said as you looked around for your own jacket, "we'll see you in a bit, Sam," you stopped yourself from calling him 'Sammy,' but you can see in his eyes that he caught your almost slip up.
"Mhm," he hummed in response as you and Dean headed out the door.
You walked with Dean across the parking lot toward the impala. You looked to the right when you felt someone looking at you. You saw the motel clerk talking with a couple cops. The clerk pointed at you and Dean when he saw you.
"Shit," you muttered as you turned to face away from the cops.
Dean mirrored your movements, standing shoulder to shoulder with you as he pulled his phone out, "dude, five-o. Take off," you heard Dean say into the phone.
There was a moment of silence before he spoke again, "uh, they kinda spotted us. Go find Dad," Dean closed his phone and stuck it in his jacket pocket before the he spun around to face the cops, bumping your shoulder with his to make you turn around too.
"Problem, officers?" Dean said with a shit eating grin that you wanted to smack right off his face.
"Where's your partner?" the cop crossed his arms over his chest as he looked from Dean to you, eyeing you suspiciously.
"Partner? What, what partner?" Dean asked innocently.
The cop jerked his thumb toward your motel room, silently ordering his partner to search the room. He obeyed, walking to the door before opening it and going inside. You felt your palms begin to sweat as you watched him enter the room, worried that he would come back out with Sam in handcuffs. Your eyes darted back toward the cop standing in front of you. He stood still as a statue, staring you down. You did your best to stand your ground and try not seem a nervous as you were.
"So, fake U.S. Marshal, fake credit cards. You got anything that's real?" the cop asked Dean.
Dean paused, as if debating his response, "My boobs," he finally replied with a toothy grin that showed he was satisfied with his answer.
The cop shoved Dean's shoulder roughly, forcing him to turn around. He pressed his hand in between Dean's shoulder blades, slamming him down against the hood of the car with a thud while his other hand went to his belt to grab his cuffs.
"Turn around with your hands against the hood of the car, please," the cop ordered you through gritted teeth.
You did what he said, not wanting to piss him off anymore than Dean had already done. He cuffed Dean before cuffing you, pressing your cheek against the hood of the impala. You must have looked incredibly annoyed, because Dean's slightly amused smile quickly disappeared.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law," the cop read you your rights as you continued to glare at Dean.
You always hated dealing with the cops. Everytime Dean got the two of you arrested, you hated them even more. Cops didn't believe in monsters and ghosts, so they were always a hinderance, rather than a help. You had a funny feeling that this sheriff was going to get on your nerves. They had thrown you and Dean in separate interview rooms. The sheriff had asked your name and age, which you gave fake answers to both. He had left you to go interrogate Dean.
He was gone for a few minutes before he entered the room again. He was holding a file box full of papers and folders. You assumed they were the things that had been hung up on the walls of John's motel room. He dropped it onto the table before dropping down a notebook in front of you. You immediately recognized it, but you did your best to make sure your face didn't reflect that.
"So you want to give me your real name?" he asked as he leaned against the table.
"I already told you. It's Sandra Nugent," you reiterated to the sheriff, who was looking increasingly annoyed.
"You could be in a lot of trouble here, you know that? Unless you cooperate with me. If you tell me what your boyfriend and his partners have been doing, maybe I can help you out," you wanted to laugh at how desperate he sounded.
"You don't have any evidence on us," you replied stubbornly.
"Ya'll got the faces of ten missing persons taped to your wall. Along with a whole lot of Satanic mumbo-jumbo. You and your buddy in there are officially suspects."
"Right, because when the first one went missing in '82, before I was even born," you deadpanned.
"I know you've got partners. One of 'em's an older guy. Maybe he started the whole thing. So tell me... Y/N is it?" you must have looked surprised, because he opened John's notebook that was sat on the table and began flipping through it slowly, "I thought that might be your name. I got Dean's name fairly quickly, but yours I wasn't so sure about. See, I leafed through this. What little I could make out. I mean, it's nine kinds of crazy," he flipped through until he was almost at the end, stopping and leaning back so you could see the page he had flipped to, "but I found this, too."
You looked down at the page. It was mostly blank other than Deans name scrawled in John's handwriting, along with 35-111 underneath it. The message was circled hastily.
"No one is going anywhere until one of you can tell me what the hell that means," he tapped the message on the paper with his index finger.
"I don't know what it means. It looks like it might be a locker combo or something," you said with a shrug.
The sheriff was getting red faced, and you were sure Dean had told him the same things. This wasn't your first rodeo. Before he could question you any more, there was a knock at the door. It opened a second later. A young cop stuck his head into the room.
"We just got a 911, shots fired over at Whiteford Road," he told the sheriff.
"You have to go to the bathroom?" the Sheriff asked you.
"No," you replied.
"Good."
He promptly cuffed you to the table. You struggled against the cuffs slightly, the metal digging into the skin of your wrist. The sheriff left and shut the door behind him. Through the small window in the interrogation room door, you could see all the cops scrambling to leave. You looked around, trying to find a way out, when you noticed a paper clip sticking out of John's journal.
You reached out and grabbed it. You unbent it and used it to pick the lock on your handcuffs. You did your best to remember what Sam taught you, and soon you were free. You grabbed John's journal off the table and crept over to the door. You peered through the small window and waited until all the cops had cleared out before trying the door. It was surprisingly unlocked. You went to the interrogation room next door, opening it to reveal Dean handcuffed to the table.
"Well look at you, ya' little escape artist! How did you manage that?" Dean asked as you entered the room.
You held up the straightened paper clip for him to see before getting to work on unlocking his handcuffs. He laughed in amusement as you freed him.
"He made it pretty easy," you said with a shrug, handing him John's journal, "now come on, let's get outta here before they come back."
The two of you crept through the police station, careful not to let anyone see you. It seemed like they had all hands on deck though, because the place looked almost deserted. You managed to find your cell phones on the sheriff's desk. You were sure the receptionist would still be at the front desk, so you searched around for window or a back exit. You quickly found a window that let to the fire escape.
You unlocked it and pulled it open before climbing out onto the fire escape. You gestured for Dean to follow, and he did so without hesitation. Dean climbed down first before you climbed down after him. The two of you made sure the coast was clear of any cop cars before walking down the sidewalk, headed for the town exit. You weren't sure which way Sam had gone or where he was, but you needed to get the hell out of dodge before the cops found you again. The sidewalk ended at the exit of town, and Dean pulled his cellphone out to call Sam.
"Fake 911 phone call? I don't know, Sammy, that's pretty illegal," he said as he put it on speakerphone so you could hear Sam too.
"You're welcome," Sam's voice came through the shitty speaker of Deans phone.
"Listen, we gotta talk," Dean started, but Sam was quick to reply.
"Tell me about it. So the husband was unfaithful. We are dealing with a woman in white. And she's buried behind her old house, so that should have been Dad's next stop," Sam explained.
"Sammy, would you shut up for a second?" Dean tried to stop his brother from speaking.
"I just can't figure out why Dad hasn't destroyed the corpse yet," Sam continued, ignoring Dean's words.
"That's what I'm trying to tell you! He's gone. Dad left Jericho."
"What? How do you know?"
"We've got his journal," you told him.
"He doesn't go anywhere without that thing," Sam said slowly.
"Yeah, well, he did this time," Dean said.
"What's it say?" Sam asked.
"The same old ex-Marine crap, when he wants to let us know where he's going."
"Coordinates," Sam said, immediately understanding what Dean meant, "Where to?"
"We aren't sure yet. We didn't have much time to look while we were running from the cops," you said, annoyance evident in your tone, but it was more directed at Dean.
"I don't understand. I mean, what could be so important that Dad would just skip out in the middle of a job? What the hell is going on?"
You heard the screech of tires skidding on the road through the phone before a quiet thud.
"Sam? Sam!" Dean yelled into the phone frantically.
"Take me home," you heard Constance's soft voice come through the phone, and your hand flew up to clutch your head as the image of a house appeared in your mind.
"Y/N? What is it? Are you alright?" Dean stopped walking to put his hand on your shoulder.
You squeezed your eyes shut tight as you examined the house. It felt like a memory, but you knew you had never seen the house before. You quickly realized it had to be a memory from Constance. It must be her old house where Sam said she was buried.
"The house," you said, "We have to go to the house. That's where she's taking him," you said as you opened your eyes and lifted your head to look at Dean.
"We don't know where the house is!" he cried out, more in fear than in anger.
"I do. Follow me," you didn't elaborate and instead you turned and started jogging, knowing the house wasn't too far from you.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Dean asked as he easily caught up to jog next to you.
"I'm fine, but Sam isn't gonna be if we don't hurry up," you said before picking up the pace.
You and Dean were now running as fast as your legs could manage. You eventually cut through the tree line, coming out into a clearing. You could see the house in the distance, with the impala stopped out front. You could see Sam sitting in the front seat. As you got closer, you could see the ghostly figure above Sam. You quickly recognized the long wavy hair to belong to Constance.
"Cover your ears!" Dean shouted as you ran.
Your hands flew up to cover ears. You had been hunting with the Winchester brothers long enough to know that if one of them said to do something, you did it without question. You heard the muffled sound of a gun shot as you saw the front windows of the impala shatter. Constance disappeared for a moment before reappearing, turning to glare at the two of you. You felt your spine shudder in fear at the anger that radiated off her. Dean continued to shoot until she disappeared for good. You had just made it to the impala when you saw Sam sit up. He reached out and turned the keys in the ignition, making the car rumble to life.
"I'm taking you home," he said breathlessly before he pressed on the gas.
"Sam!" Dean yelled after him as the impala lurched forward and smashed through the front wall of the house with a loud crash.
You and Dean ran up the porch stairs and through the now giant hole in the side of the house. You stepped over the rubble and toward the impala that had stopped in the middle of what looked to be the remnants of a living room.
"Sam?" Dean called out as he ran to the passenger side of the car, "Sam! You okay?" Dean asked as he leaned in through the window.
"I think..." you heard Sam say from inside the car as you walked over.
"Can you move?" Dean asked as he tried to get the passenger door open.
"Yeah. Help me?"
Dean yanked the passenger door open before leaning inside the car and reaching out for Sam. He pulled him out and up onto his feet and brushed the dust off his shoulders.
"There you go," Dean said.
The three of you turned and saw Constance on the other side of the room, holding a large framed photo. She finally noticed you, glaring daggers as she threw the picture to the floor. It clattered loudly as the three of you stared dumbly. Suddenly, her hand lifted and she made a gesture that caused a dresser to slide across the room and pin you against the side of the impala. The wind got knocked out of you as you tried to push the dresser away, but there was an unseen force holding it in place. Sam and Dean were too stubborn to stop trying. Constance took a step forward, a look of malice in her eyes. You were anticipating her next move, when suddenly the lights flickered and buzzed. You watched Constance turn and walk to the base of the stairs that now had water pouring down them like a waterfall.
"You've come home to us, Mommy," you heard a boy and girl say in unison.
Suddenly, the spirits of Constance's children appeared behind her. They wrapped their arms around her in one final hug as the lights surged. You shielded your eyes as Constance screamed. You watched from under your forearm as the three of their spirits sunk slowly into the floor, disappearing and leaving only a puddle of water behind. Sam and Dean pushed the dresser over, and it clattered loudly to the floor. It kicked up a cloud of dust that made you cough. You walked over to examine the puddle, Sam and Dean close behind you. You all stared down at the floor in silence, trying to collect your thoughts. You were trying to brush off the residual rage that Constance had left behind.
"So this is where she drowned her kids," Dean said, breaking the silence.
"That's why she could never go home. She was too scared to face them," Sam confirmed.
"You found her weak spot. Nice work, Sammy," Dean clapped Sam on the chest where Constance had dug her fingers into his chest, presumably to rip out his heart; Sam laughed through the pain it caused him.
"Yeah, I wish I could say the same for you. What were you thinking shooting Casper in the face, you freak?"
"I was just thinking the same thing," you added.
"Hey. Saved your ass," Dean said he walked over to the impala, leaning down to inspect the damage, "I'll tell you another thing. If you screwed up my car?" he turned to point at Sam menacingly, "I'll kill you," Sam laughed as you gave Dean a 'what the fuck?' look.
"You literally shot the windows out! I doubt Sam did more damage than you did to your own car," you said as you walked over to stand next to Dean, noticing the busted out headlight.
Fortunately, the impala still ran. The front windows were shattered, and the right headlight needed replacing, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed. She'd been through worse, is what Dean had said.
~~~~~~~~~
You were leaned over the backrest of Sam's seat, looking at the map he had sitting open in his lap. He was trying to find the location of the coordinates that John had left. It didn't take him long to circle a spot on the map.
"Okay, here's where Dad went. It's called Blackwater Ridge, Colorado," Sam said and Dean nodded.
"Sounds charming. How far?" Dean asked.
"About six hundred miles," Sam replied.
"Hey, if we shag ass we could make it by tonight!" Dean said excitedly.
"Dean, I, um..." Sam trailed off, and you sat back in your seat, knowing where this was going.
"You're not going," Dean said simply.
"The interview's tomorrow morning. I gotta be there."
"Yeah. Yeah, whatever. I'll take you home."
You had the sudden realization that your bags were still in your motel room. It wasn't difficult to convince Dean to drive back to the motel. You and Sam managed to sneak in and grab your stuff without being spotted. Dean sped to the highway to make sure the cops didn't catch you again.
None of you spoke for the rest of the drive. It was only a few hours, and the sun had set by the time you had arrived at Sam's apartment complex. Dean stopped out front and Sam opened the door and got out, shutting it behind him. He turned to lean in through the window as you climbed over the backrest to sit in the front seat. Once you were sat, you looked over at Sam, noticing how close he was.
"Call me if you find him?" Sam asked, and Dean nodded, "And maybe I can meet up with you later, huh?" his eyes went from Dean to you, and you nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, all right," Dean replied, still frowning slightly.
Sam patted the door twice, his lips pressed into a thin line as he stood up straight. He turned around and started to walk away. Dean set his arm on the backrest behind you, leaning forward slightly to look out the passenger window.
"Sam?" Dean called out.
Sam looked over his shoulder, "yeah?"
"You know, we all made a hell of a team back there," he said with a smirk, glancing at you.
Sam nodded with a small smile before Dean turned back to look at the road as he pressed on the gas. You didn't dare turn to look, instead you tried to catch a glimpse of Sam in the crooked side mirror. You could see his tall figure looming in the shadows. There was a sense of foreboding that you couldn't shake as you drove away. You were only on the road for a few minutes. Sam's apartment building had just barely faded in the distance. You turned and saw Dean's furrowed brows as he glanced between his watch and the road.
"What?" you questioned him.
"I think my watch stopped working."
A wave of dread washed over you as your heart dropped into your stomach. It felt like every inch of your skin was covered in goosebumps. You swallowed hard around the lump rising in your throat.
"Dean, turn around and go back. Now," you said firmly.
Dean didn't have to be told twice. He immediately pulled a u-turn and headed back toward Sam's apartment. You could feel the evil radiating off the building even before you saw it come into view. Dean pressed down on the gas harder, going well above the speed limit. He pulled into the parking lot and skidded to a stop in front of the door. You both hopped out of the impala but he stopped you, placing his hands on your shoulders.
"Stay here, I'll be right back," he said quickly before turning and running into the building.
You looked up to see flames and smoke emitting from an upstairs window. Your stomach churned as you pulled out your phone to call 911. You put the phone to your ear, and spoke to the operator about the fire, who told you they were sending a fire truck. You could hear the fire alarm going off before Sam and Dean even made it outside. Just as your chest was starting to ache with worry, you saw them emerge, Dean practically dragging Sam along. Sam fell into your waiting arms, and you used all your strength to keep him somewhat standing. He had wrapped his arms around you and had shoved his face into the crook of your neck. Dean stood a few feet away, coughing loudly. He put up his hand and made it into a faux phone, shaking it next to his ear with furrowed brows, silently asking if you had called the police. You nodded as you hugged Sam tightly, rubbing his back with one hand and petting his hair softly with the other.
The fire fighters didn't take long to get there. They managed to tame the flames fairly quickly, leaving most of the apartment complex intact. Sam had detached from you before they had arrived, wiping his eyes and sitting on the trunk of the impala. He didn't speak a word to you. Only when Sam was talking with the cops was when you got part of the story from Dean.
"She was... on the ceiling," he told you slowly.
"Like... Like how your mom died?" you asked gently.
Dean nodded and you felt your chest tighten as your heart rate quickened. You shook your head as you looked over to the building. Smoke was still billowing out into the night sky, blocking the few stars you could see from view. You and Dean were stood side by side at the back of the crowd of onlookers that had grown at the edge of the police tape. The red lights of the fire truck were still flashing, and they were starting to give you a headache. You turned away from the building to head back to the impala. Dean had pulled it off to the side of the road a few yards away. Sam was stood in front of the open trunk. You saw him loading a shotgun as you approached.
You didn't want to pity him, knowing it would only make him feel worse. When you saw the tear stains down his cheeks, you couldn't stop the sympathetic smile you gave him. He smiled weakly at you. Dean walked up next, giving Sam a look you couldn't place. You knew all the Winchester looks, but this one was foreign to you. Sam nodded at him before letting out shuddering breath, obviously knowing what his brother's look meant. You appreciated them getting along, but you didn't like to be excluded. Under different circumstances, you would have pestered them until they told you what telepathic messages they were sending each other. Instead, you stayed quiet, watching as Sam threw the now loaded shotgun into the trunk.
"We got work to do," he said before slamming the trunk shut.

Druig X Reader ~ Never Leave Again
A/N: i watched eternals for the first time the other day (forever ago and i took forever to post this😂) and i instantly fell in love with druig. this isn’t great but it’s the first idea i thought of and i wanted to write it. hope you enjoy <3 (female reader)
Warnings: none :)
Summary: After many years apart, you set out to reunite with your love, Druig.
Words: 971
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
The air was quiet and still around you. The jungle was the quietest it had been since you'd been out there. You didn't hear the buzzing of flies or the chirping of birds. It was strange, but you didn't think about it for too long, instead moving on to think about how you were nearing your destination.
You walked for a few more minutes before you began to smell smoke. In the distance, through the trees, you could see the black plume rising into the sky. You felt a nervousness building behind your ribs with every step you took closer. You tried to shake the feeling away, assuring yourself that everything would be fine, and there was no reason to be nervous. You tried to swallow the feelings that were rising up to the back of your throat as you reached the entrance of the village.
It was bigger than you were expecting. People were turning to eye you suspiciously as you walked slowly along the path through the village. You watched the people that watched you, trying to find a familiar face amongst them. You weren't having much luck, and there were enough buildings to have you searching for hours.
You stopped and turned to a woman that was looking at you. "Excuse me... Do you know where Druig is?" you asked her. She suddenly stood up straight and her eyes began to glow a familiar gold. "Hello Y/N" her voice spoke, but you knew it wasn't actually that woman that was using her own voice. You shook your head with a small smile.
You turned when you heard a door open loudly behind you. You turned to see Druig walking out of a building and towards you with a smirk on his face. "My beautiful, beautiful Y/N. I was wondering how long it'd take you to visit me" he said as he walked up to you, stopping only a few feet away. You felt all the nervousness and anxiety fade away at the sound of his voice. His playful tone was comforting to hear after all those years apart, and your heart raced at the compliment he always loved to give you.
"I could never stay away from you forever" you mirrored his tone as you took a step closer. "I would hope not" he teased as he took a step closer. Now you were merely a foot apart. He was so close yet so far away. There were so many things you wanted to say to each either, but neither of you can utter a word.
Druig took a final slow step, stopping only inches away. He leaned in and you began to lean in to meet him in the middle. You almost whined in annoyance when he stopped, his lips an inch away from yours. You could feel his warm breath on your lips as you stared up into his dazzling blue eyes. The air thickened around you and it almost felt like it was choking you.
At first you're not sure what he's waiting for, then you heard a small voice in your head. Can I kiss you, my love? You barely processed his question before you leaned in and smashed your lips against his, throwing your arms around his neck to pull him as close to you as possible. You can kiss me forever. You pushed the thought into his mind as your lips moved in synch. You felt him smile into the kiss at your message.
You pulled away after a few more moments, resting your forehead against Druig's as your eyes fluttered closed. "I've missed that" you whispered to him, and he laughed. "Me too" he paused for a moment. "I've missed you" he whispered, causing you to open your eyes. You smile as you get lost in his ocean blue eyes. "I've missed you too" you whispered back.
You pulled away to look at the huge smile on his face. You were sure this was the happiest you had seen him in centuries. Tell me what's on your mind, pretty girl. Druig always knew when you had something on your mind, even without his mind reading. He could read you like an open book, but he hated reading your mind without your permission, which is why he always tried to persuade you to tell him what you were thinking about. He had mastered the art of being able to sweet talk you into telling him almost anything.
“I want to stay here... with you" you said quickly. "If you'll have me?" you added after a few seconds of silence. "You're the only one I ever want to have" Druig leaned in and connected your lips again, in a softer kiss this time. He did his best to show how much he loved, appreciated, and cared for you through the kiss. He held his arms around you middle, pulling your body flush against his.
He pulled away, panting slightly. "You can only stay on one condition..." he tried his best to be serious, but you could see the faint smirk pulling at the corner of his lips. "And what's that?" you asked, humoring him. "You can never leave again" the playful bite to his words faded a bit, and was replaced with a more serious undertone.
You looked up at him with a loving smile. You reached up and held his face, rubbing your thumb across his cheek softly. He leaned into your touch, sighing happily. "I'll never leave again" you agreed quietly.
"You're sure?" you had never been more sure about anything in your entire existence. You nodded. "There's no one else I'd rather spend the rest of eternity with" Druig smiled widely at your words before leaning in and kissing your lips quickly.
"I love you, my beautiful Y/N" you felt your cheeks heat up at his words. "I love you too, my darling Druig"

Neville Longbottom X Reader ~ You’re My Happiest Memory
A/N: i rewatched the movie recently and randomly thought of this! also i chose a patronus for neville cause he apparently doesn’t have one listed🙄 (gender neutral reader)
Y/P: your patronus
Warnings: none
Summary: You and Neville find out your each other’s others happiest memory when trying to conjure your patronus.
Words: 1209
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
"We are going to practice the patronus charm today" Harry said to all of you. He explained a bit as everyone spread out around the room of requirement. "Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember. Allow it to fill you up" Harry explained as he walked around, checking on everyone. "Keep trying Seamus"
You waved your wand, uttering the words "Expecto patronum" you frowned slightly as all that came out of your wand was a small blue light. "A full bodied patronus is the most difficult to produce, but shield forms can also be equally as useful against a variety of opponents"
You looked to Harry, seeing Ginny producing a horse patronus. "Fantastic Ginny!" Harry praised before continuing walking. "Just remember, your patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused, so focus!"
You were stood next to Neville when Harry walked over by the two of you. "Think of the happiest thing you can" he told the two of you. "Expecto patronum" Neville said as he waved his wand, but only getting the same results as you. "I-I'm trying" Neville told him. "I know. It's good" Harry turned to walk away. "This is really advanced stuff guys, you're doing so well" Harry said.
Before you had a chance to warn him, Ron's dog patronus ran through Nevilles legs, causing him to fall backward. You reached out and grabbed his arms, stopping him from falling. You pulled him back so he was standing again. "T-Thank you" you nodded with a smile. "You're welcome" you let go of him, and turned your attention back to your wand.
Before you could attempt the spell again, Neville waved his wand as he said the incantation. You watched as the blue light came from his wand, along with a hedgehog patronus. Your mouth fell open in awe as his patronus bounded through the air. You giggled when it circled around you before disappearing.
"Neville!" you exclaimed, somewhat surprising him. "That was amazing!" Neville smiled. "Thank you" he scratched his neck awkwardly before practicing the spell again.
You turned back to look at your wand. My happiest memory... What could it possibly be? You thought as you waved your wand mindlessly. You were pulled away from you thoughts by a chuckle from next to you. You turned and looked at the boy next to you. He was staring up at his patronus with an amazed look on his face. Merlin, he's so cute. Your eyes widened slightly at this thought. You shook the thought from your head as you looked away from Neville.
You stood there motionless for a moment before deciding to test something out. You thought back to a memory you cherished as you waved your wand. "Expecto patronum!"
Your eyes widened and a smile tugged at the corner of your lips as your patronus began to form. You watched as a Y/P emerged from beams of blue light. "Amazing Y/N!" you heard Harry yell. You barely heard him though, you were too focused on what was taking place in front of your eyes.
You looked up to see your patronus running around with Neville's. You glanced over at him as he looked over at you. You both smiled before looking back up. Your patronus's dissipated as you heard Harry calling the meeting to a close.
You rushed out with everyone, sneaking through the corridors. Neville walked with you to the door of your common room, as he always did. You stopped in front of the door. "Well that was a successful meeting, don't you think?" you inquired, trying to break the somewhat awkward silence. "It was! We did great today" you nodded in agreement.
A few seconds of silence passed, before you finally asked what had been on your mind since you saw Neville produce his patronus. "What memory did you think of?" you immediately regretted your words. What if he thought I was prying? You felt yourself beginning to sweat as you waited for his response.
He chuckled quietly, looking down at his feet while scratching his neck awkwardly. "It's sort of embarrassing actually" you shook your head. "I’m sure it's not" you tried to reassure him. He looked back up at you, and you felt yourself melt as you stared into his beautiful green eyes.
"I..." his voice trailed off as he avoided eye contact for a moment. "I thought of that day when you came into the greenhouse. I had been having a horrible day, and you didn't bother me about it. You asked me about my plants. You wanted me to tell you about them. Usually people tell me to stop talking about my plants" he paused to read the look on your face. You were smiling, and he decided to keep going. "I-It made me realize I'd always have someone to talk to about them. And it just made my day, my whole year actually"
"Well, funny you should think that's embarrassing. I think that's cute. Besides, mine is similar" Neville furrowed his brows. "Oh?" you nodded. "That day you came into my dorm with that tulip. I don't know how you remembered it was my favorite flower, I didn't even remember telling you. But you just looked so happy to give it to me. And you told me how to take care of it, and watching you talk about it made me happy" you could feel your heart rate pick up as you finished your explanation.
"Well, seems that both of our happiest memories were with each other. That's quite... interesting" you both laughed at your words. You quieted down once you remembered you were still in the corridor.
You stared into each other eyes for a few seconds, debating on what to do next. To your surprise, Neville reached out, cupping your cheeks before leaning in. Your lips met in an awkward but sweet kiss. His hands were cold against your burning hot cheeks. You gripped his shoulders as your lips moved in synch.
You finally pulled away to breathe. You were both panting quietly as you rested your forehead against his. His hands dropped to your waist as you wrapped your arms around his neck. "You're phenomenal, Neville" you breathed out. "T-Thank you. Y-You're quite amazing too, Y/N" you chuckled at his flustered state. "As much as I hate to do this, but I have to go. You do to, so you don't get in trouble" you kissed the tip of his nose before pulling back slightly, still staying in his grip.
"Right" he nodded. "I'll see you in the morning though" you said with a smile, which he mirrored. "Right" he repeated, before leaning down to give you another kiss. This one was longer, and more passionate.
You finally pulled away and Neville immediately spoke. "One last thing… Would you like to go out on a date with me tomorrow?" you nodded with a smile. "I'd love to"
"Good. Great" even in the low light, you could see how red his face was. You chuckled. "I'll see you tomorrow, lover boy" you kissed him once more before pulling away from him completely and heading into your common room.

Sherlock Holmes X Reader ~ Sneaky Cigarette
A/N: just a lil random one shot idea i had. hope you enjoy :)
Warnings: smoking… is that even a warning??🤷🏻‍♀️
Summary: John convinced you and Sherlock not to smoke, but one day the two of you can’t help it.
Words: 1018
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
To say you had a smoking habit was an understatement. John had never thought he'd meet someone with a worse smoking addiction than Sherlock, until he met you. John said you were more irritable than Sherlock when you didn't have a cigarette. Sherlock was already trying to quit, so John suggested you try to quit with him. At first you had declined. Your habit had been getting much worse. You honestly didn't think you had the ability to quit, but Sherlock and John somehow managed to convince you. You and Sherlock made an agreement that if one of you smoked, the other was allowed to. Neither of you wanted the other to smoke, so you did your best to quit.
It was rough for the first few weeks, but after a while you started to feel a bit better. You and Sherlock always had nicotine patches strewn around both of your flats. On bad days, the two of you would have three or four patches per arm. It had been a few months before either of you had even touched a cigarette.
You were stood next to Sherlock in front of all the evidence from the case you were currently working on. You had hung up all the pictures and clues you had collected over the mirror above the fireplace. You stared at the different pieces of evidence in silence, both of you in your own thoughts.
"I need a cigarette" Sherlock muttered angrily. "Me too" you muttered in response. "No you don't!" you both turned and glared at John in sync. John only shook his head with a chuckle at your synchronization. "You both are doing so well! It's been what? Three and a half months since either of you have smoked?" you both ignored him, turning back to look at the wall of evidence. John only chuckled again as he looked back down at his computer.
There was a few more minutes of silence before Sherlock spoke up. "I'll be right back" he said, quickly rushing over to the door. He grabbed his coat and pulled it on as he walked out of the flat. You furrowed your brows in confusion. You turned to John who only shrugged. You shrugged too, opting to ignore Sherlock's odd behavior.
A few minutes had gone by. You were beginning to get suspicious. The case was long forgotten as your mind raced. You finally decided to go see what was taking him so long. You walked quickly and wordlessly out of the flat and down the stairs. You pushed open the heavy wooden door to see none other than Sherlock standing on the sidewalk. You watched him blow a cloud of smoke into the air as the door closed behind you. "So this is what was taking you so long"
Sherlock chuckled. "I was wondering how long it would take you to realize" you shook your head with an amused smile as you walked over to stand next to him. He held the half smoked cigarette out, offering it to you. You looked between him and the cigarette before muttering a quiet 'fuck it' before taking the cigarette from him.
You took a long drag, loving the burn in your lungs. You sighed out a cloud of smoke before holding the cigarette back out for Sherlock to take. "Please, smoke the rest. I was saving it for you anyway" you shrugged. "Your loss" you said before taking another long drag. "It's only half a cigarette, so does it really count?" you questioned him with a smirk. "Yes, of course it still counts" you rolled your eyes with a laugh. "You're supposed to say no. That way we can both pretend this never happened, and John never has to know" Sherlock nodded knowingly, an amused smile on his face.
You smoked the rest of the cigarette in silence. Once you were finished, you threw it down on the ground and crushed it with your shoe. You shivered as a cold breeze blew past you. "Let's get back inside. It's cold" Sherlock said, wrapping his arm around your shoulders, pulling you along with him back inside.
You walked back up the stairs and into the flat. "What took you two so long?" John asked. "We got carried away talking about the case" you lied quickly. Sherlock nodded to back you up. "Mhm" John hummed in response, not fully believing you.
Sherlock took his coat off and hung it back up as you walked over to the wall of evidence. "If you talked for so long about the case, I assume you had a breakthrough?" you cursed John in your head for being so nosey. "Uh, no. We just said some ideas back and forth, and went over the evidence again" you lied a second time. Sherlock had made his way over to stand next to you in front of the evidence wall once again.
After a few seconds, you heard sniffing behind you. "Did you two smoke?!" John exclaimed loudly. You and Sherlock both attempted to keep your laughter in as your turned to face your friend. "Of course not. Why would we ever do that? We're trying to quit remember?" Sherlock defended the two of you, pulling up his sleeve to show two nicotine patches stuck to his forearm. "Yeah!" you said as you pulled up your sleeve too, showing three patches stuck to your forearm. "Fine. But don't let me catch you two smoking" John aimed a threatening finger at both of you. You held up your hands in mock surrender and John seemed to give up with his pestering.
You and Sherlock turned back around, unable to hide your smiles. He leaned over just enough so he could whisper into your ear. "If you ever want to smoke another sneaky cigarette together, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea" you turned to look at him and he winked at you with a smirk. You shook your head with a smile, turning away from him so he couldn't deduce how nervous he made you. "I'd love to" you whispered back.

{Eleven Hopper X Reader} You’re Cute When You’re Angry
A/N: i wrote this forever ago. just a cute lil one shot. this is set around ssn 3 so no ssn 4 spoilers. hope you enjoy :) (gender neutral reader)
Warnings: none
Summary: Eleven helps calm you down after you get angry about failing a test.
Words: 310
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
You paced back and forth through Eleven’s room, frustrated out of your mind. You had failed a test, and you were freaking out. You practically raced to her house to rant about it.
"It was rigged!" El looked at you, furrowing her eyebrows and tilting her head like a confused puppy. If you weren't so mad, you would have smiled at how cute she looked. "Rigged...?" she asked slowly. "Um, yeah, rigged. Like, made so people fail, basically" she nodded in understanding. "It's stupid though! No one passed that test except one girl in my class. Half the stuff we didn't even learn!" you huffed as you continued pacing.
"I can't afford an F, my dad is gonna kill me!" you didn't see it, but El smiled. "You're cute when you're angry" she stated. You stopped pacing, looking at her with wide eyes. "W-What?"
"You're cute when you're angry" she repeated. "Uh, thanks... I guess" she nodded, chuckling. You thought more about what she said, your expression going from confused to upset within a second. "I... I don't look cute when I'm angry! I'm supposed to look intimidating, and scary!" she laughed. "You don't look very scary to me" you shook your head with a frown. "Great. Good to know. I'm not intimidating when I'm angry..." as you passed by her bed, she reached out and grabbed your hand, stopping you. "Sit" she patted a spot on the bed in front of her. You obeyed, sitting criss cross in front of her. "It's gonna be okay" she told you.
You took slow deep breaths, calming yourself down a bit. El kept your hand in hers, rubbing the back of it with her thumb. You smiled up at her. "Thank you" she nodded before leaning in to kiss you. She gave you a small peck on the lips before sitting back. "You're welcome"

You leaned against the hood of your car, scanning the faces of the people that exited the mall. You were picking up your girlfriend Robin after her shift. Your eyes were pulled away from the entrance of the mall at the sound of footsteps. You turned and saw a familiar face.
"Hello Billy" you said dryly before turning back to look at the entrance of the mall. "Oh? Already know who I am, huh?" you scoffed. "I think everyone knows who you are"
"And who might you be?" he asked in a low voice as he stepped closer to you. "Y/N" you answered. You were obviously not interested, but Billy didn't seem to get the hint. "What are doing here all by yourself?"
"I'm waiting for someone" you continued to scan the faces coming out of the mall for Robin as you absentmindedly responded to Billy. "Mhm... Well, what's a pretty girl like you doing later tonight?" you chuckled dryly before glancing at him. "None of your business" you watched his smirk falter slightly before you looked away. "I like when they play hard to get"
Before you could respond to him, you saw Robin walking toward you. You pushed off the hood of your car, wrapping your arms around her. You hugged her tightly before pulling away. "How was work?" you asked. "Oh, just fabulous!" she replied sarcastically. You turned to see Billy standing there, dumbfounded. "Guess you don't get rejected very often, huh?" you said, walking past him to get to the drivers side. "Bye Billy" you said with an innocent smile before getting into your car.
"Was he flirting with you?" Robin asked as you got into the car. "Yes" you replied with a look that said 'it was awful.' She laughed hysterically as you pulled out of the parking spot. "That was so funny! The look on his face!" she continued to laughed. "I know. He's not used to a girl not immediately wanting to sleep with him" you both laughed.
"You're so cute" you told her suddenly. "Stop! You're cuter!" she leaned over and kissed your cheek. You stared at her for a moment before she noticed. "Hey, eyes on the road!"

You rushed through the door to the back room of Scoops Ahoy. You saw Steve and Dustin sitting across from each other at the small foldable table in the middle of the room. Both of them were giving you a confused look. "Guess what!" you said excitedly as you hurried over to them.
"What...?" Dustin asked slowly, not sure if he actually wanted to know what had you so worked up. "Nightmare on Elm Street two is coming out this weekend!" you exclaimed, gesturing wildly with your hands. You didn't notice the way Steve scrunched up his face slightly in disgust; you were too busy watching Dustin get just as excited as you. "No way!" you nodded furiously. "Yes way! The three of us should go see it this weekend!"
Steve spoke up quickly. "Can't. I gotta work this weekend" you furrowed your brows in confusion. "I thought you had this weekend off?"
"Yeah, b-but Robin! Robin asked if I could cover her shift for her this weekend" you looked as if you had deflated as you shoulders fell and a frown quickly replaced your smile. Steve immediately felt guilty for making you upset. "We can just go see it next weekend" Dustin suggested before Steve could back out of his lie. "No! No, it's fine. You guys can go see it without me"
"Are you sure?" you asked him. "Yes, I'm sure. Maybe we can go see a movie, the three of us, next weekend" Steve suggested, and you nodded in agreement. "Alright, but that means you'll have to sneak us in to our movie" Steve rolled his eyes with an amused smile on his face that told you he wasn't actually annoyed. "Oh, don't give me that! You love helping us break the rules" you leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Geez! Calm it down with the PDA!" you looked over to see Dustin with his hands covering his eyes. "It was one kiss, get over it Henderson. I know you kissed your girlfriend when you were off at camp, you literally told us about it” Dustin only rolled his eyes at you, and with that you turned your head to face Steve.
"Well, I gotta head to work. I'll see you later" you gave Steve one last kiss before turning to Dustin. "Don't forget about our movie plans. This Saturday night!" you pointed at him before holding your hand up for a high five that he happily gave you. "See you later, Y/N!" Dustin said.
"Bye baby. I love you" Steve said to you with a smile. "I love you too" you blew him a kiss before turning and walking into the front of the ice cream shop. "See you later Robin! Make sure to keep wingus and dingus in line!" Steve heard you call out to Robin as you left.
Steve had gotten himself out of quite the pickle, and he was hoping he wouldn't have to deal with it for a while. Steve hated horror movies. Well, more like they scared the shit out of him.
Steve had to ask Robin to work her shift, which she happily let him do. When Robin asked why he insisted he work her shift, he admitted his fear of horror movies. Robin had laughed, thinking he was joking. She quickly realized he wasn’t joking when she saw the frown on his face.
“Dude, it’s just a movie. All that shit’s fake anyway. Also next time, why don’t you just tell your partner why you don’t want to see the movie?”
“Cause they’ll laugh at me! Just like you did!”
Saturday arrived quickly, and Steve helped you and Dustin sneak into the movie. You watched the late showing, so the mall was closing up once the movie was over. You walked with Dustin back over to Scoops Ahoy, talking about the movie the whole way.
Steve was pulling the metal gate down as you and Dustin walked up. "Hey babe" he said to you, wrapping his arms around your waist. "Hi" you said with a smile as you wrapped your arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him.
"What did I say about the PDA?" you pulled away with a laugh. "Oh my gosh, Dustin, you are so dramatic. It's not like we're making out or something"
"We could though" Steve said in a low, teasing voice as he slowly leaned in. You played along with his joke, bringing your hands up to cradle his face as you leaned in too. You met him in the middle, pretending to messily make out with him.
"Gross!" you pulled away while you and Steve laughed hysterically. "Just remember, the sexually active teens are always the first to die in horror movies!" you scoffed. "The last two years of our lives have been a horror movie, and if that trope were true, I would have died a long time ago" Dustin fake gagged at your words.
You interlaced your fingers with Steve's before the three of you started walking toward the front doors of the mall. "Just don't come crying to me when Freddy Krueger takes you both out!" Dustin held his hands out like he had claws. He pretended to cut you up as he made a growling noise. You laughed before using your free hand to pretend you were spouting blood out of the pretend wounds in your chest.
"Oh no! Steve! Save yourself..." you leaned most of your weight onto Steve's side as you sank down towards the floor. He sighed deeply as he practically held you up. You stood back up as you made it to the front door.
"That's my moms car" Dustin pointed to one of the few cars that were left in the parking lot. "I'll see you guys later. Keep one eye open tonight for Freddy!" Dustin wiggled his fingers at the two of you before turning and walking towards his moms car. “One, two, Freddy’s coming for you! Three, four, better lock your door!” Dustin sang as he walked away. “Shut up you little shit!” Steve yelled after him. “Five, six, grab your crucifix!” Dustin continued to sing as he turned and walked backwards. “Seven, eight, gonna stay up late! Nine, ten, never sleep again!” Dustin doubled over in laughter at the look of annoyance on Steve’s face.
You only shook your head with a laugh as you and Steve walked toward his car. He let go of your hand to open the passenger side door for you. You said a quiet thank you before sliding into his car. He walked around before getting in the drivers side.
"So... You wanna spend the night? Or I could spend the night at your place?" Steve only shrugged as he started the car. "What's wrong? Did Dustin get thoughts of Freddy Krueger in your head?" you joked as you reached out and tickled him gently, doing the claw hands that Dustin had done earlier. "No, I'm just tired" you frowned. You could tell something else was going on with him, but you didn't want to push him considering he already seemed annoyed.
"We can just go back to my place and go to bed. It is kinda late" Steve nodded in agreement before pulling out of the parking spot. Once you got to your house, you managed to sneak him in through your window. You kept the door to your room locked, just incase your parents decided to try and barge in.
You both changed into pajamas before climbing into your bed. Steve pulled the blanket over the two of you. He held you close to him, his body heat warming you up after being outside in the cold, night air. "I promise I'm not going anywhere" you whispered when you felt Steve trying to pull you even closer. "I know" he whispered back. "Freddy isn't gonna come get me" you said with a quiet chuckle. You frowned when he didn't react or respond. You craned your neck to place a kiss to his jaw. "I'll be right here when you wake up. I love you" you whispered. "I love you too. Goodnight baby" he whispered back before kissing the top of your head.
Steve didn't really believe you would actually be swallowed up by the bed before the two of you woke, but he couldn't help but admire your sleeping face for a little longer than be usually did, as if he wouldn't get another chance to. He knew he was being a little bit dramatic, but he couldn't help it. He just loved you so much, and he knew that at any moment a monster from a different dimension could come and snatch you up. Steve stayed over the next few nights in a row that week, not wanting to leave you alone.
The following Friday, the kids wanted to have a movie night. Your house was the best to hang out at, so that Friday night, all of the kids were gathered on the floor of your living room. They argued over which movie to watch as you walked in with a bowl of popcorn and a grocery bag full of various candies.
You handed the bowl of popcorn to Will, who was sitting in the recliner to the right of your couch. The rest of the kids were sprawled out on the floor in front of your TV, leaving the couch for you and Steve. You had laid out many blankets, and thrown down a multitude of pillows for the kids to lay on. You made one last trip to the kitchen, bringing back some bags of chips and another small bowl of popcorn.
You placed the bags of chips on the ground next to the kids before stepping over them to get to the couch. Steve was laid back against a pillow that he had rested against the armrest of the couch. He was laying down, basically taking up the entire couch. He held the blanket up that previously covered him, opening his arms for you to lay with him.
You laid down with your back against his chest. He brought his arm down to cover the two of you with the blanket while also wrapping his arm around your middle and holding you close. He used his other hand to reach out and take a piece of popcorn from the bowl you were holding.
The kids were still arguing over what movie they wanted to watch, and you were staring to get annoyed. "Will! Pick a movie" all the kids (except Will) groaned in annoyance. "Either he picks or I do. I'm sick of you guys arguing. So, Will?" you turned to look at him. "Poltergeist?" he suggested hesitantly.
"Great choice! Put it in the VCR, and I don't want to hear any complaints" you said before leaning back, getting comfortable. "You comfortable baby?" you asked Steve quietly, noticing he had tensed up. "Yeah. I-I'm alright"
“You sure?”
“I’m sure” you sighed as you laid your head back against his chest, and Steve placed a kiss on the top of your head. Everyone got quiet as the movie began to play.
You could feel yourself dozing off, your eyelids heavy as you fought to keep them open. You had already seen poltergeist, so none of the scares actually got you. Towards the end of the movie, there was a scarier scene playing. You could feel Steve tense up underneath you, and his grip on you tightened. Before you could turn and ask him what was wrong, he began to push you off him. "Gotta go to the bathroom" he said quickly as he crawled out from underneath you.
You plopped back down on the couch as you watched Steve stumble over the kids on the floor before walking down the hall to the bathroom. You thought Steve had been acting weird, but this confirmed your suspicions.
You waited a few minutes for him to come back. A few more minutes passed before you decided to go check on him. You stood up and stepped over the kids, walking quickly down the hall to the bathroom door. You could hear the kids whispering and giggling as you walked away. You rolled you eyes at them as you made it to the bathroom door. You stood there for a moment just listening before you lifted a fist up and knocked softly.
"Steve? Is everything alright?" you asked him through the door. "I'm fine" you heard his muffled reply. "Steve, you know you can talk to me about anything, right? Whatever is going on, I'm always here to listen" you tried to reassure him.
There was a long pause before he spoke again. "Promise you won't laugh?" you nodded even though he couldn't see you. "I promise"
The door opened and suddenly Steve was pulling you into the bathroom with him. He shut the door behind you before leaning back against the sink. He ran a hand through his hair before he crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at his feet to avoid your gaze. "Steve?" you reached out and gently gripped his chin, lifting his face up so you could look into those deep brown eyes you loved so much. You could see the sadness and insecurity and it made your heart break. "What's going on? Talk to me" you brought your hand up from his chin to cup his cheek, rubbing your thumb across his skin softly.
He leaned into your touch with a content sigh. He shut his eyes as you continued to rub your thumb across his cheek comfortingly. "I have an embarrassing confession to make..." you stayed quiet, urging him to continue. "Horror movie scare the shit out of me and I hate watching them" he said quickly, keeping his eyes squeezed shut.
"Steve... why did you think I'd laugh at you for that?" you asked softly. He shrugged as he opened his eyes. "Robin laughed" he said sadly. "That's because Robin is a punk who likes to tease you"
"You don't think that it's ridiculous and childish that I'm scared of horror movies?" he questioned you. "Of course not, baby. Horror movies aren't for everyone, and that's alright. It's like how not everyone likes si-fi but I for one love Star Wars" you could feel Steve relaxing under your touch and your reassuring words. "It's just that we've dealt with so much scary shit in our real lives, that I don't want to have to watch more shit about monsters that come and kill you in the night" you nodded. "I understand, Steve. Let's just hang out in my room until the movie is over. If the shitheads are even still awake, you can pick the next movie" you said before leaning in and kissing his lips quick.
You let your hand fall from his face as you turned to open the bathroom door. Steve reached out and grabbed your hand, stopping you. You turned to face him with furrowed brows. "Thank you" he said before you could speak. "For what?" you questioned him. "For being there for me. I was being kind of a dick by just pushing you away, and I'm sorry-" you held up your pointer finger to shush him. "You don't need to thank me or apologize for anything. What are girlfriends for? I'm always going to be there for you, Steve. I love you"
You felt your heart swell at the way his cheeks turned a light pink. "I love you too" he began to lean in and you happily met him in the middle, pressing your lips to his in a sweet kiss. "We've been gone so long that the kids probably think we're in here making out or something" you said with a chuckle as you pulled away. "I mean we could..." Steve said teasingly as he leaned in. You laughed as you pushed him back before pulling open the door.
You turned and ran down the hallway towards your room. Steve was close behind, catching up to you as you made it to your bedroom door. He wrapped his arms around your middle and lifted you up. You broke out in a fit of laughter as he kicked open your door. He carried you into your room before tossing you onto your bed.
"Now they're really going to think we're doing something" you said as you laid back on your bed. "Let them think" Steve waved his hand dismissively as he leaned over you. He leaned down and kissed you quick. "Can't we just stay here?" he asked as he fell down onto your bed, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you close. Your faces are only inches apart as you wrapped your arms around his neck. "I mean I don't see why not. I'm sure the little shits down the hall definitely won't come snooping soon" you said sarcastically. Steve laughed as he shook his head. "I guess you're right"
Steve stood up before picking you up bridal style. He carried you down the hall and back into the living room. He ignored the stares from Dustin, Mike, and Lucas as he carried you over to the couch. The two of you cuddled back up on the couch, and you noticed the credits were rolling as you finally got comfortable.
The kids immediately began to argue again over what movie to watch next. "Max, put in A New Hope" you said over the rest of them. Max nodded before getting up and putting the tape in the VCR.
Eventually everyone settled back down as the movie began to play. You turned your head to kiss Steve on the cheek. "This movie is better than poltergeist anyway" you whispered to him, and you felt his chest rumble with laughter underneath you.

{Eddie Munson X Reader} I Promise
A/N: this is how i’m coping after watching volume 2. fuck the suffer brothers (gender neutral reader except eddie calls the reader sweetheart and princess)
Warnings: mentions of blood and life threatening injuries, lots of angst but with a happy ending, major stranger things 4 spoilers
Summary: After you defeat One, you run back to your best friend, Eddie. You promised him you’d make it back alive to tell him a big secret you’ve kept from him for a long time.
Words: 1397
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
One was dead. You had finally killed him. You had finally won. You didn't have much time to celebrate your victory before a horrifying image flashed in your mind. You didn't even speak before you took off running out the front door and toward the woods. Steve, Robin, and Nancy ran after you, trying to keep up.
Your adrenaline was so high that you couldn't even feel the ache in your legs that surely would have started by now. The image of Eddie being attacked by those demobats made you push on. All you could think of was getting back to him. You promised him that you would, and you intended to keep that promise.
"Eddie... I have something I want to say" you had pulled Eddie off to the side so no one could hear what you were about to tell him. "I think you're gonna want to say it pretty fast then, sweetheart" you felt your stomach flip at the pet name. "If I don't make it-" he cut you off quickly.
"Don't say that; we're gonna make it"
"But-"
"No but's" he reached out and held your cheeks in his hands. You could feel the cold metal of his rings against your warm skin. His calloused thumbs rubbed across your cheeks soothingly. "We are both getting out of here alive. We did it once before, so another time won't hurt, right?" you nodded, the heavy feeling in your chest refusing to go away.
"You have to promise me you'll come back. So you can tell me that little secret of yours" you felt your eyes begin to well up with tears. "You have to promise you'll be alive when I get back" you said with a shaky voice.
"I promise, sweetheart"
"Good. I promise too"
"Good" Eddie pulled your head towards him slightly, leaning in to place a kiss on your forehead. He pulled away with a large smile.
“Alright, let's get a move on!" you heard Steve yell from behind you. You headed over to the rest of the group before heading your separate ways.
"See you soon!" Eddie called out as you headed toward the woods. You turned to look over your shoulder to see Eddie with his hand high in the air, hand waving back and forth vigorously. You chuckled before lifting your hand to wave back.
That was the last you saw him. Now you were trying to get back to him. You had to tell him how you felt.
It didn't take long for you to make it to the edge of the forrest. You could see Eddie's trailer in the distance before you even exited the woods. When you did break through the tree line, your eyes scanned the large clearing for your best friend. You were getting more and more worried as you didn't see him.
Finally, you saw something in the distance off to your right. It looked like Dustin was sitting on the ground with Eddie laying in his lap. "Oh no..." you mumbled before taking off sprinting towards them. Tears blurred your vision as you ran.
You skidded to a stop as you fell to your knees in front of Dustin. You ignored the pain in your scraped knees as you assessed the situation.
Dustin looked up at you with red, watery eyes, tears still streaming down his face. "I couldn't-I couldn't stop him. I couldn't do anything. I...I..." Dustin said between sobs. You reached out and rested a comforting hand on his shoulder. Steve, Robin, and Nancy made it there only a few moments after you. "Jesus christ..." you heard Steve sigh deeply. "Oh god, is he...?" Robin's voice trailed off, not wanting to accept that Eddie was really dead.
"No way, man. Those bat fuckers took a huge chunk out of me, and I'm still standing" Steve said before he kneeled down on the pavement next to you. He reached his hand out, pressing two fingers to the side of Eddie's neck. You reached out too, grabbing Eddie's hand as Steve checked for a pulse. "It's faint, but he's still got a pulse. He's not dead, but he will be soon if we don't don't do anything"
You and Steve quickly got to work. Shirts and jackets were ripped into makeshift bandages that you wrapped around Eddie's torso. Those bats had bitten off way more flesh off Eddie than they had off Steve. You bandaged him the best you could before heading back to his trailer.
Steve managed to carry Eddie the few hundred feet back. You all made it back through the gate safely. You and Steve quickly gathered up any first aid supplies you could find before getting to work on properly bandaging Eddie's wounds.
Once you were finished, Steve made sure you were alright before leaving you alone with Eddie. You held his hand, squeezing slightly as you felt tears begin to fall from your eyes again. "Eddie?" you whispered. He laid still, his chest slightly rising and falling with each breath. "Eddie, it's Y/N. Please wake up" you pleaded through sobs.
"I can't lose you because I... Because I love you" you didn't even know if he could hear you, but you needed to say it to him. You felt guilty for not saying it to him earlier, and you felt even more guilty for not insisting to stay with him and Dustin.
"I've loved you ever since I met you when I joined hellfire. I thought you were the coolest guy I had ever met. No one understands me like you do, Eddie. So for the love of god please wake up!" you raised your voice slightly at the end, your voice breaking.
"Woah, no need to shout, princess" Eddie's voice was hoarse and quiet. "Eddie?! I thought you might not wake up. I thought I was going to lose you" tears continued to stream down your face.
"You can't get rid of me that easy" Eddie slowly lifted his hand to reach out and cup your cheek. He wiped the tears away before rubbing his thumb across your cheek comfortingly. The look in his big brown eyes was one of pure adoration.
"Did you, uh, happen to hear anything I said just now?" you asked tentatively. "Maybe" Eddie replied with a shrug and a small smile. You shook your head as a smile tugged at the corner of your lips.
"I love you too" he said suddenly. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to tell you that"
"All it took to get us together was the end of the world, huh?" you said with a laugh. "If that's what needed to happen for us to get together, I wish the world would have ended sooner" you could feel your cheeks begin to heat up and your stomach did flips. "Me too" you whispered before leaning in slowly.
Eddie leaned up as much as he could until your lips met his. He brought his free hand up to tangle it into your hair as he squeezed your hand. You cupped both sides of his face, pulling him closer as you kissed him passionately.
You pulled away after a few moments, your hands not leaving each other as you panted, trying to catch your breath. "Holy shit..." you whispered. Eddie let out a bark of a laugh before he winced. "Yeah, holy shit is right"
"Shit, Are you alright?" you questioned him, worried he might have hurt himself from laughing too hard. "I just kissed the girl I've been in love with for five fucking years. I'd say I'm doing way better than alright"
You leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "What are we gonna do, Eddie?" Eddie knew you were referring to the fact that everyone still thought he was a murderer. "We'll figure it out later, I promise. Right now I'd really love to smoke a joint with you" you laughed. "Still got your priorities straight even after you almost died, huh?" you said with an amused smile. "Of course! But give me one more kiss before you go!" you laughed again. "Before I go across the room?" you questioned. "It's too far! Now just kiss me again, please" how could I ever say no to that? You thought as you leaned in and kissed him lovingly

{Jonathan Byers X Reader} Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
A/N: why do i even do summaries they are always so bad😭😭 but anyway😂 no ssn 4 spoilers hope you guys enjoy <3 (gender neutral reader)
Warnings: none :)
Summary: While your singing and dancing around Will’s room, trying to cheer him up, Jonathan comes home. He can’t stop himself from asking you a question he’s wanted to ask you for a long time.
Words: 1764
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
Your mom worked at Melvald's General Store, and you were always hanging around there when you were bored. You didn't have many friends, and you graduated early, so you often didn't have much to do. You had complained to your mom about wanting a babysitting job, but not knowing how to find parents who needed a babysitter.
"What am I gonna do? Post a flyer on the message board in here? No offense mom, but you guys don't exactly get a lot of customers" you sat on the pharmacy counter, swinging your legs back and forth. "It's a start! Now get off the counter!" she pushed you lightly and you jumped off with a huff. You stuck your tongue out at her before leaning on the counter. "I just don't know who would really need a babysitter anyway. Most parents let their kids run wild these days"
"Uh, you're talking about babysitting?" you turned to see Joyce Byers. You knew her pretty well. You were in the store often, and you always spoke to her if your mom was busy. You also were kind of friends with her son Jonathan. "Yeah. I don't want to get an actual job yet. I'd rather just babysit for a while" her eyes lit up. "I need a babysitter!" your eyes lit up the same as hers. "Really?" she nodded. "Yes, for my son Will. I don't like him being home by himself" Joyce admitted.
"You're too hard on the boy, Joyce. He's almost 14" your mom said. "I know, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind a babysitter" you smiled and nodded. "I'd love to Ms. Byers" you told her. "Please, call me Joyce, sweetheart"
That was the beginning of your babysitting job. You picked up Will from school and babysat him at his house until Joyce or Jonathan came home. He was a little awkward at first, but as you continued to babysit him, he started to open up to you more. You would watch TV and talk about anything that crossed your minds. He always asked you for advice, which you were happy to give him.
One day you picked him up from school, and he had a noticeable frown on his face. "You okay, Will?" you asked him as he hopped into the passenger seat. "Yeah, I'm fine" he mumbled in response. You didn't want to pry, so you just drove out of the parking lot and toward the Byers's residence.
You parked out front and Will immediately got out, throwing his backpack over his shoulder and walking quickly up to the front door. He unlocked it and went inside, not waiting for you. You furrowed your brows at his behavior. You had been babysitting him for a few months and he had never acted like this before.
You got out of your car and followed him inside. "Will?" you called out, closing the door behind you. "Will? Are you okay?" you called out again as you headed to his room. You opened the door and saw him laying on his bed, a pillow over his face. "Leave me alone" he said, his voice muffled. "What's up, kiddo? Bad day at school?" you asked as you sat on the corner of his bed. He didn't respond.
"You get a bad grade on a test?" when he didn't respond again, you simply shrugged and stood up. "Well, if you won't tell me, the only thing I can do is try to cheer you up" you walked over to the boombox sitting on his dresser. You knew the tape in it was that of his favorite song. There were countless days that the two of you had danced around his bedroom to the song.
~start playing Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash now for full immersion :)~
You clicked play and the song started to come through the speakers. Even though he couldn't see you, you still pretended to play the guitar. You began to sing along to the song, continuing to play the air guitar. "Darling, you've got to let me know. Should I stay or should I go?" you noticed Will starting to peek out from under the pillow, and you pretended to not notice him so he'd come out further. "If you say that you are mine, I'll be here 'till the end of time" He sat up, setting the pillow down next to him. "So you got to let me know. Should I stay or should I go?"
You grabbed a flashlight off his desk, using it as a faux microphone. "It's always tease, tease, tease!" you sang as you walked over to the edge of Will's bed. "You're happy when I'm on my knees" you plopped down onto your knees, leaning your arms onto his bed. "One day it's fine and next it's black! So if you want me off your back," Will started to smile at the exaggerated faces and gestures you were making. You were over exaggerating your singing voice too in an attempt to make him laugh.
"Will come on and let me know" he shook his head with a small smile at you putting his name in the song. You sat on the edge of Will's bed next to him. "Should I stay or should I go?" he smiled wider as he watched you perform the song for him. You smiled back, knowing that your efforts were working. You really just wanted to hear him laugh, but you knew that you had at least achieved your goal of cheering him up a little bit. "Should I stay or should I go now?" you stood up and continued to dance around to the music. "Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble!" you gestured to the door, your eyes wide. "And if I stay it will be double" you looked back at Will. "So come on and let me know!"
You sat back onto Will's bed, moving the fake microphone towards him. "This indecision's buggin' me" he sang. "Esta indecisión me molesta" you sang the Spanish line before moving the 'microphone' back to him.
"If you don't want me, set me free"
"Si no me quieres, librarme"
"Exactly whom I'm sposed to be!"
"Dígame que tengo ser”
"Don't you know which clothes even fit me?"
"¿Sabes que ropa me quedra?"
"Come on and let me know"
"Me tienes que decir"
"Should I cool it or should I blow?"
"¿Me debo ir o quedarme?”
You stood up and danced a bit. "Split!" you finally heard Will laugh, and that's when you stopped singing. You turned to him with a smile. You noticed he was looking at something behind you. You turned around to see a familiar face. Your stomach started to do summersaults as you saw Jonathan standing in the doorway. Will stood up and walked to your side, continuing to laugh when he saw your surprised expression.
"Hi Jonathan" you said, rubbing the back of your neck awkwardly. The song continued to play as the three of you stood there. "Hi Y/N" he said with a small smile. You leaned to your left slightly toward Will. "How much of that did he see?" you whispered to him. "Um, I'm not so sure you want to know" you nodded slowly before standing back up straight.
"Well, now that your brother is here Will... should I stay or should I go?" you both laughed before his eyes lit up. "Can you stay for dinner?" you shook your head slightly, but he ignored that and quickly looked to his brother. "Y/N could stay for dinner, right?" he asked him. "I'm sure mom wouldn't mind" you chuckled. "No really, it's fine" Will pouted slightly at you. "I gotta get home, kiddo. Taco Tuesday at my house" you patted his shoulder. "Can we come over for dinner?" you laughed. "Oh, you hush. Your mom is a great cook!" his shoulders slumped slightly and he pouted again. You chuckled and reached a hand out to ruffle his hair.
"I'll see you tomorrow after school, yeah?" he nodded. You held out for fist for a fist bump, that he happily gave you. You both made an explosion sound with your mouth as you pulled your hands away. "Bye Y/N!" he waved as you walked toward his bedroom door. "Bye Will" you waved back with a smile. "Bye Jonathan. Good seeing you" you said to him as you passed by. "Bye Y/N" he said quietly.
You walked toward the front door, grabbing your jacket and keys before heading out to your car. As you went out the door, you could hear Will and Jonathan talking, and you swore you heard your name. You shrugged it off and headed outside, closing the door behind you.
You were rummaging through the keys on your key ring when you heard the front door open. You saw Jonathan walk down the steps toward you. "Hey Jonathan" you said as he walked up. "Did I forget something? Oh, wait, let me guess... Will forgot to tell me something? I swear that kid sometimes..." you chuckled. He shook his head and your smile fell as your brows furrowed. "I, uh... I know that we didn't talk much in school, but I've always liked you" you felt the butterflies in your stomach again as he spoke. "I was just wondering if maybe you'd want to go out on a date this Saturday?"
You smiled and nodded. "I'd love to" he smiled too. "I'll pick you up around 7?" you nodded again.
"Just kiss ‘em already!" you heard Will's muffled voice come from the window. You both turned to look at him, and his eyes widened before he quickly ducked down and out of view. You both laughed.
Jonathan turned back to face you. You smiled at the slight blush forming on his cheeks. Screw it. You thought before leaning in. Your lips met his in a quick, soft, and sweet kiss. "See you Saturday" you said once you pulled away. You got into your car, waving at him before backing out of their driveway.
Jonathan watched your car go, as he slowly brought his fingers up to touch his lips, still not believing that just happened. His lips tingled slightly. "Took you long enough!" Will yelled out the window. Jonathan jumped slightly as his brothers voice pulled him back into reality. He only shook his head at him through the window as he walked back up to the door.
