"I don't...I mean, these types of things, they aren't supposed to be real." Haley stammered, the next morning, after Dean explained about what we do while Sam was flipping through John's journal and I had a bag of M&M's and was starting to eat on them. "I wish I could tell you different." Dean said to her.

"How do we know it's not out there watching us?" She asked. "We don't. But we're safe for now." I assured her. "How do you guys know about this stuff?" Haley asked us and Dean and I consider this for a moment. "Kind of runs in the family." We said, in unison, as Sam comes over to us. "Hey. So we've got half a chance in the daylight. And I for one want to kill this evil son of a bitch." Sam said to us. "Well, hell, you know I'm in." Dean said. "Yeah, me too." I said as Sam shows the wendigo page of John's journal to Haley and Ben.

"Wendigo is a Cree Indian word. It means evil that devours." Sam explains to them. "They're hundreds of years old. Each one was once a man. Sometimes an Indian, or other times a frontiersman or a miner or hunter." I informed.

"How's a man turn into one of those things?" Haley asked then Dean and I pick a couple things up off the ground. "Well, it's always the same. During some harsh winter a guy finds himself starving, cut off from supplies or help. Becomes a cannibal to survive, eating other members of his tribe or camp." Dean said. "Like the Donner Party." Ben said and we look at him.

"Cultures all over the world believe that eating human flesh gives a person certain abilities. Speed, strength, immortality." Sam said. "If you eat enough of it, over years, you become this less than human thing. You're always hungry." I explained.

"So if that's true, how can Tommy still be alive?" Haley asked us and we give her a worried look. "You're not gonna like it." Dean said then he glances at me then at Sam then back to Haley. "Tell me." She said, shakily. "More than anything, a wendigo knows how to last long winters without food. It hibernates for years at a time, but when it's awake it keeps its victims alive. It, uh, it stores them, so it can feed whenever it wants. If your brother's alive, it's keeping him somewhere dark, hidden, and safe. We gotta track it back there." Dean explained and Haley has a horrified look on her face. 

"And then how do we stop it?" She asked. "Well, guns are useless, so are knives. Basically—" Dean started to say then he and I hold up the can of lighter fluid, a the beer bottle, and the white cloth we'd picked up. "We gotta torch the sucker." He said.
Minutes later, Dean leads the way through the woods. Haley, Ben, Sam and I follow as we pass trees with claw marks and blood. I held onto the Molotov.

"Dean. (Y/n)." Sam calls out, sometime later, as he was leading us this time. Dean and I catch up with him. "What is it?" We asked him. Then we looked around at the trees, there were bloody claw marks and broken branches everywhere. "You know, I was thinking, those claw prints, so clear and distinct. They were almost too easy to follow." Sam said when we heard growling. 

The three of us whip around as the trees rustle. Haley was standing under a tree, when blood drips on her shirt. She notices and looks up, then leaps out of the way. Roy's corpse lands where she'd stood, Dean and I examine Roy as Sam goes over to Haley. "You okay? You got it?" Sam asked and she nods.

"His neck's broke." I stated as Sam helps Haley up when we heard more growling. "Okay, run, run, run, run, go, go, go!" Dean shouts and we take off in all directions. I ended up running with Haley as we ran for a few minutes. Unfortunately, we stopped when we see the wendigo in front of us. Haley screams in fear as it comes at us.

*3rd person POV*

"Haley?" Ben calls out as he, Sam and Dean walk around, both the brothers were beyond worried about their friend. Especially, Dean. Then they found the broken bottle of the Molotov, the brothers look at each other as they become worried and scared. "(Y/n)!" Sam calls out. "(Y/n)!" Dean shouts as he frantically looks around. If that son-of-a-bitch grabbed you....Dean didn't want to think about the worst case scenario. Hopefully, it kept you alive.

"If it keeps its victims alive, why would it kill Roy?" Ben asked the brothers. "Honestly? I think because Roy shot at it, pissed it off." Sam said when Ben finds a trail of peanut M&Ms and picks one up. "They went this way." Ben yells and the brothers catch up to him as he hands over the M&M. Sam laughs while Dean let's out a sigh of relief. "It's better than breadcrumbs." Dean said as Sam tosses the M&M away.

The boys follow the trail until they come upon a mine entrance marked with a sign that says WARNING! DANGER! DO NOT ENTER EXTREMELY TOXIC MATERIAL. Sam looks at Ben and Dean, shrugs, and goes inside, the other two boys follow. Above the entrance is a larger sign that says KEEP OUT NO ADMITTANCE.

Sam shines his flashlight ahead of them. But then they hear growling, so he shuts off the light and goes to the wall as Dean pulls Ben against the wall. The Wendigo comes towards them, Dean covers Ben's mouth before he can scream but the creature takes a different tunnel at the crossing. After waiting a few moments, the boys keep going.

The floorboards underneath them, creak and they fall through the floor and land on a pile of bones. Ben spots a pile of skulls next to them and leaps backward. "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Sam assured Ben then Dean looks up and his eyes widen.
Haley and (y/n) were hanging by their wrists from the ceiling. Dean smacks Sam as he gets up and runs to (y/n) while Sam looks up and saw this. "(Y/n)!" Dean said with worry as Sam and Ben get up and run towards the girls.

"Haley, wake up!" Ben exclaims to her as he goes to her. Dean grabs (y/n) and shakes her while Sam stands next to him. "(Y/n)!" He said and she begins to open her eyes, relief started to wash over him. "Hey, you okay?" Dean asked her, concerned. "Yeah." She whinced while Ben said to Haley. "Haley, Haley, wake up, wake up!" And then she began to wake up.

Sam cuts (y/n) down and Ben takes care of Haley. They help the girls over to an empty patch of floor and got them to sit down. (Y/n) makes pained noises. "You sure you're all right?" Sam asked his friend, concerned, and (y/n) grimaces. "Yeah. Yep." She said, in a croaky voice. Then she looks up at the boys then looks around. "Where is he?" She asked, referring to the wendigo. "He's gone for now." Dean replied to her as he pushes back a loose strand of her hair back behind her ear.

Haley divests herself out of the rope then stands up and spots Tom still hanging. "Tommy..." she cries and she hurries over to him and touches his cheek. Tom's head jerks up, making Haley jump back and shriek. Then she turns to Sam. "Cut him down!" She ordered and Sam starts to cut him down. "We're gonna get you home." Haley said to her brother as (y/n) starts to stand up and starts to steady herself.

The stolen supplies are piled in the corner and Dean picks up flare guns. "Check it out." He said as he holds them up to the others. "Flare guns. Those'll work." Sam said as he grins. Dean and (y/n) laugh as Dean twirls the guns.

They head down a tunnel, Dean and Sam in the lead with the flare guns, (y/n) behind them also holding a flare gun. Haley and Ben were behind them as they supported Tom, who is limping. But then the growling started up again.

"Looks like someone's home for supper." (Y/n) remarked. "We'll never outrun it." Haley said, fearfully, and Dean looks back at the others. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked. "Yeah, I think so." Sam said while (y/n) looks at Dean, confused. "All right, listen to me. Stay with Sam and (y/n). They're gonna get you out of here." Sam said to Haley, Ben and Tom. "What are you gonna do?" (Y/N) asked him.

Dean winks at her before he starts walking and yelling. "Chow time, you freaky bastard! Yeah, that's right, bring it on, baby, I taste good." (Y/n) shakes her head at this. "Crazy bastard." She mutters as her and Sam wait until Dean is a safe distance away.

"All right, come on! Hurry!" Sam said and (y/n) and the three siblings follow Sam down the tunnel. "Hey, you want some white meat, bitch! I'm right here!" They hear Dean yelling and (y/n) looks towards the direction of his voice. Please be careful, Dean. She thought as her and the others hurry down a tunnel.

But then there was growling and Sam and (y/n) point their guns at it, but then lower their gun and (y/n) turns to Sam. "Get them outta here." (Y/n) said said to him. "(y/n), no." Sam said but (y/n) shakes her head, her mind already made up. "Go! Go! Go!" She yells at Sam and he, reluctantly, obliged and helps the siblings down the tunnel.

(Y/n) holds the flare gun ready to shoot, looking down the tunnel. "Come on. Come on." She whispers just as she heard growling. She turns and sees that the wendigo is right in her face. She shoots and misses then runs after Sam and the others. 

"(Y/n)!" Sam and Haley scream as she catches up with them. "Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry." She shouts at them as they run to the end of the tunnel, the Wendigo right behind. "Get behind us." Sam said and he and (y/n) block the three kids.

The Wendigo approaches, taking its time, but then Dean comes up behind the monster. "Hey!" He yells and the Wendigo turns to him. Dean shoots it in the stomach, the flare goes off and the Wendigo goes up in flames. "Not bad, huh?" Dean laughs, making Sam and (y/n) grin at him.

*(y/n)'s POV*

Sometime later after calling for help, an ambulance loads up Tom while two police officers interview Ben; Sam stands behind him. "And the bear came back again after you yelled at it?" The officer asked Ben. "That's when it circled the campsite. I mean, this grizzly must have weighed eight hundred, nine hundred pounds." Ben said and Sam nods. "All right, we'll go after it first thing." The officer said.

Meanwhile Dean walks up to me and Haley, after we got patched up. "You girls doing okay?" Dean asked us and we nodded at him. "So I don't know how to thank you." Haley said to him. "It's no problem." Dean said just as a paramedic comes up to Haley.

"You riding with your brother?" He asked her. "Yeah." She replied and the paramedic heads back to the ambulance. Haley then turns to Ben, who walks up to her. "Let's go." She said as the boys and I nod at each other. Haley then kisses Dean on the cheek, and for some reason I felt something in my chest stir. Like something hot was burning inside once I saw her kiss Dean's cheek.

"I hope you find your father." Haley said to him then she turns to me and Sam. "Thanks Sam and (y/n)." She said and we nod at her as her and Ben head for the ambulance, and climb inside of it with Tom, who is shirtless and bandaged.

Sam and I sit on the Impala's hood with Dean as the paramedics close the ambulance doors and they began to load up and head out. "Man, I hate camping." Dean grumbles which made me laugh. "Me too." Sam and I said as the ambulance drives away.

Then I look up at Sam. "Sam, you know we're gonna find your Dad, right?" I said.
"Yeah, I know. But in the meantime?" He said then he looks over at Dean and said. "I'm driving." Dean sighs then tosses Sam the keys. "Lead the way, boys." I said to them as I head over to my bike and they loaded up in the Impala.

Then we drove off to our next destination.
