POLK CITY, IOWA

BIG CREEK STATE PARK

At Night, outside a public restroom facility in Big Creek State Park, inside the only car parked in the isolated lot in the woods, two teens are making out and hear a strange whistling noise.

"What was that?" Barbra Asks

"It was nothing. Just the wind." Tom Says, as the whistling song continues.

"Okay, tha-that wasn't the wind." Barbra Says, as they both hear the whistling getting louder.

"I'll check it out." Tom sighed, as he is about to get out of the car, the sheriff opens the door for him.

"What are you guys doing?" Sheriff Romero Asked

"Dad?" Tom Says

Sheriff Romero looks over at Barbra who's buttoning up her shirt. "Barbara."

"Hi, Sheriff." Barbra Says

"Do your parents know where you are right now?" Sheriff Romero Asked

"Why do you care?" Tom Asked, as he got the car.

"You're supposed to be studying." Sheriff Romeo reminded

"At Mom's. This is not your weekend. Besides, she'-" Tom Says

"Yeah out of town. With Todd. I know. She called you. You weren't home. She called me. She's worried." Sheriff Romero Says

"Well, you found me. Good for you." Tom Says

"Hey. Watch it." Sheriff Romero Says

"Or what?" Tom Says

Barbara makes herself presentable and gets out of the car, heading toward the restrooms.

"Hey, where you going?" Sheriff Romero Asked

"Um...bathroom. You guys clearly need some space." Barbra Says

Barbra makes her way towards the bathroom, and turns on the light in the abandoned-looking bathroom and the lights flicker, and she reacts with disgust to what she discovers in the stalls.

"Ugh. Oh, God." Barbra grimaced

"Tom, you shouldn't be out here. But I didn't mean to embarrass you." Sheriff Romero Says

"Yeah, you never do." Tom Says

Inside the bathroom, Barbara finds a stall that isn't completely objectionable and resigns herself to using it. The lights begin to flicker and the whistling noise is coming from inside the bathroom, along with heavy footsteps and a growling noise.

A monstrous hand reaches over the stall door and she screams. Tom and Sheriff Romero hear her from outside and rush to her aid.

"Barbara?!" Tom Says

"Stay here." Sheriff Romero Says

Sheriff Romero barges into the bathroom, with his gun drawn, and finds her purse on the floor of the stall, but Barbara is gone. He runs out of the bathroom and into the woods, and Tom follows
after him.

"Barbara! Barbara! Barbara?!" Sheriff Romero Shouts

The sheriff sees a figure moving through the shadows in the woods, but trips in the dark and
loses sight of it.

"Hey!" Sheriff Romero Says

When he gets up again, he hears Thomas yelling in the distance and runs toward the sound.

"Thomas! Thomas!" Sheriff Romero Says

Tom drops to his knees, sobbing over Barbara's body.

"No! No! No..." Tom Says, sobbing.

THE BUNKER

In the Bunker kitchen, Sam sits at the table with his computer when Dean comes in to get coffee.

"Morning, sunshine." Dean Says

"Hey." Sam Says

"What you looking at? Porn? Sex tapes? Nip slips?" Dean Asked, as Sam sighed.

"The Internet is more than just naked people. You do know that, right?" Sam Says

"Not my Internet." Dean Says

"All right. Check this out. So, this girl-her body was found just outside Big Creek State Park in Iowa. Uh, covered in bite marks. The police are saying it's an animal attack." Sam Says

"But...?" Dean Says

"But I did some digging, and I found that there weren't a lot of bodies, but a lot of people do go missing in that park. Look at this. Park ranger back in '06. A poacher in '98. And on and on and on. I mean, I've only gone back to 1943, and I've already found 54 missing people." Sam Says

"Wow." Dean Says

"Yeah." Sam Says

"Yeah. Sounds like our kind of thing. You sure you're up for it? I mean, I know you wanted to take some time." Dean Says, then takes a seat across from him.

"No, I-I'm-I'm good. Honestly, I-I'm good." Sam reassured

"All right. Well, let's hit it." Dean Says

"You got it. I'll grab Cas and Elena." Sam Says

"Mm. He actually left." Dean Says

"What?" Sam Says

"Early this morning." Dean Says

"Why?" Sam Asked

"I don't know. Something about being cooped up in the bunker for a few weeks. We all need to stretch our legs. I get it." Dean Says

"All right. Uh, then, Jack." Sam Says

"Uh... I don't want Jack on this." Dean Says, as Sam looked at him.

"I thought you said Donatello gave him the all clear?" Sam questioned

"Yeah, he did. And I'm-I'm sure he's good. But... Jack's got his mojo back. His powers have gotten us in trouble in the past, the security guard. So I just want to make sure that, you know, he's right before we put him back out there." Dean Says

"Yeah. Yeah." Sam Says

Meanwhile in Marley's room, Elena is seen braiding her hair into two braids.

"You know I could have done this myself." Marley Says

"Yeah but ever since I had wren I forgot how much fun it was to style people's hair." She wraps two rubber bands on the ends of her hair, "And you are done." Elena Says

Marley rises to her feet and walks over to the mirror, admiring the nicely done braids.

"Nice, thanks Elena." Marley Says

"Your welcome." Elena Says, as she fiddles with her ring.

"That ring bothering you or something?" Marley Asked

"Huh, no. It's just sometimes I forget that it's on my hand at times.." Elena Says

"I guess that's a feeling you get, when your not married yet." Marley Says

"What?" Elena Says

"Look I'm no expert in relationships since I'm still a child, but from what I've seen from movies and television..it could uncertainty." Marley Says

"And why would I be uncertain about my engagement?" Elena Asked

"I don't know Elena you tell me, I mean you and Dean have been engaged for what like..nine months.
So much time has passed since then." Marley Says

"Yeah so.." Elena Says

"So what's stopping you guys, I mean I understand that whole situation with Michael running around in Dean's dome but he's dead, and the whole Jack dying and coming back to life thing..but since then..everything's been..okay-ish.." Marley Says

"Okay kid, what's your point?" Elena Asked

"My point is Elena..what's stopping you guys from getting hitched, I mean you guys love each other, you live together and have a baby...the last thing to do is get married.." Marley Says, crossing her arms over her chest.

Elena went into a deep thought after listening to her, before she spoke up Sam enters the room knocking on the door.

"Hey Lena, you up for something?" Sam Asks, as Elena snapped out of her thought.

"Always, what's up?" Elena Asks

"I caught us a case up in Iowa, missing person's and some may say animal attack." Sam Says

"So our kinda thing." Elena Says

"Yup, we're heading out in ten you coming?" Sam Says

"Yeah, sure, wait is Jack coming?" Elena Asks

"Uh..no, Dean thinks it's best if he stays back..just until he's ready you know." Sam Says

"Oh..okay." Elena Says

"Then what am I supposed to do all day while you guys are out?" Marley Asked, as Sam came into a thought.

"You can do us a big favor, and look out for Jack." Sam Suggested

"You want me a mortal 13 year old to watch a celestial being," She scoffed and laughed, "Yeah okay." Marley Says

"Come on Marley, just look out for him okay..make sure he doesn't do anything..unlikely." Sam Says

"Okay then." Marley sighed, as Sam smiles.

"Thank you." Elena Says, as Marley rolled her eyes.

Moments later In the bunker library, Jack is reading a book when Sam, Elena and Dean come to tell him they're going out on a hunt.

"Hey, uh...good reading?" Dean Asks

"Yes. Did you know Article 246 of the Haitian criminal code officially makes it against the law to turn a human into a zombie?" Jack Says, as they nodded not knowing that.

"Good." Dean Says

"Jack, listen. Dean, Elena and I are heading out on a case." Sam Says

"And...you don't want me to come?" Jack asked, as they shared a look.

"Uh..Jack-" Elena Says

"Look, truth is-" Sam Says

"We don't want to leave the bunker empty. In case, uh, Mom or...some of the other Hunters call and need help, so...and this place is long overdue for a restock. So, uh, you and Marley's mission, should you both choose to accept, I made you a list." Dean Says, he hands Jack a handwritten grocery list.

"My mission is shopping?" He reads from the list, "Beer, TP, eggs, cheese, milk... beer again." Jack Says

"Beer Twice?" Elena Says

"Yeah." Dean Says

"I'll do it." Jack Says, smiling.

"Great! We'll be in touch." Dean Says, as they exited the library.

Marley entered the room eating a sandwich, and see's Jack reading something.

"Hey, looks like we're stuck together this weekend." Marley Says

"Yeah." Jack Says

"What are you reading?" Marley Asked, as Jack gave her the list.

"Looks like we're going shopping." Jack Says, smiling as Marley looked at him.

POLK CITY, IOWA

In Sheriff Romero's office, he pours himself coffee while Sam, Elena and Dean talk to him.

"I'm sorry. I just don't really see how this is an FBI thing." Romero Says

"Wildlife preserve is government property. We're the government." Dean Says

"Yeah, well, it is a large piece of land coyotes, rough terrain. We try to limit hikers to the trails, but some of them don't listen." Romero Says

"Okay, but the girl who died, she wasn't a hiker." Sam Says

"Do you know what happened to her?" Elena Asked

"Like I said, coyotes." Romero Says

"You know, do you mind if we take a look at the body?" Sam Asked

"Do I have a choice?" Romero questioned

"Not really." Dean Says

THE MORGUE

Sam, Elena and Dean go to the morgue to inspect Barbara's body. As they pull the drawer out, her arm rolls free and flops off the table, hitting Dean. He jumps back in surprise.

"Whoa! Mo-" Dean Says

"Seriously? How long you been doing this?" Sam Says

"Well, got catlike reflexes, okay? What can I say?" Dean Says

"Sure." Elena chuckles

They examine the wounds on her neck and arm, which are long, deep scratches.

"He said a coyote did this?" Dean Says

"Not even close." Sam Says

"Mnh-mnh." Dean Says

"I mean look at the skin around the bite. It looks...burnt." Elena Says

"So, what the hell can do that?" Dean Asked, they shared a look then Sam pulled the sheet to cover up the body again.

Meanwhile a car pulls up with Stacy driving, Max in the passenger seat, and Eliot in back. Eliot is playing an episode of Ghostfacers on his phone.

"We face them all, ghost! Ghostfacers!, we face the faceless, we face the dead!"

"Eliot, stop." Stacy Says

"What? The Ghostfacers are cool." Eliot Says

"No. They're really not." Stacy Says

"Shoot that ghost right in the face! Boo-yah! Winchesters still suck ass, though. Affirmative."

"Wait you live with Sam, Elena and Dean, right?" Eliot Asked

"Uh.." She and Jack share a look, "Who are you talking about?" Marley Says

"They're not here right now are they, Are they fighting ghosts?!" Eliot Asked

"Ghost." Madly laughed

"What's a ghost?" Jack Asked

"Yeah Ghost don't exist, come Jack we should go." Marley Says, as she tugs on Jack's arm.

"Hey, it's...cool. We know." Max Says, as Marley looks at them questioningly.

"Know what?" Marley Asked

"About their whole Hunter thing." Max Says

"Oh. Good. I don't like to lie. It makes my stomach hurt. Like when you have to burp, but you can't burp." They all raise a brow at him, "Yeah." Jack Says

"So, what do you guys need?" Stacy Asked

"Everything we need is in there, but the store's closed." Marley Says

"Not anymore." Marley Says, as she pulls out the keys to the store.

"Hey! Come in. You okay?" Romero Asked, as Tom looks uncertain.

"No. I think I should talk to them." Tom Says

"Who?" Romero Asked

"Barbara's parents." Tom Says

"Tom, that's not a good idea. I've already spoken to them. They're grieving." Romero Says

"Dad. This was my fault." Rom Says

"That's not true." Romero Says

Inside the store in Lebanon, Jack and Marley shops while Stacy and Max talk by the register.

"I feel...bad for them." Stacy Says

"Same. I mean, living with a bunch of dudes. Their whole place must smell like beer, Kleenex, and Old Spice." Max Says

"Yeah..but at least there's someone there for the little one, Elena and her daughter." Stacy Says

Eliot stands in the aisle, and approaches Jack and Marley. She kneels down and picks up some cereal, and tosses it in the basket.

"I've been watching these guys called the Ghostfacers. You heard of 'em?" Eliot Asked

"No." Jack Says

"They sound kinda lame." Marley chuckled

"No they're awesome! they know all about ghosts, and I'm reading books." Eliot Says

"Oh, I like books, too. I'm reading about zombies." Jack Says

"Zombies are real?!" Eliot Exclaimed

"Well, no. Not really. It's kind of disappointing. But there are other monsters." Jack Says

"Like what?" Eliot Asked

"Oh, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters—I've seen one of those, djinn, rugaru," He laughed, "That's a funny name. Yeah. Wraiths, sirens, demons, ghouls. All sorts of things." Jack Says, as he and Marley finishes shopping and they walk to the register.

"And you guys know about all of them?" Eliot Asked

"Well...yes." Jack Says

"Jack, will you be my best friend?" Eliot Asked, smiling.

"Dude, stop stalking him. Sorry. Ever since he found out about this stuff, he's been obsessed." Stacy Says

"It's okay, I was like that too when I saw my first monster when I was eight." Marley Says

"Eight, so your hunter?" Marley nodded her head, "how old are you?" Max Asked, intrigued.

"Oh Marley was born on April 17th 200-." Jack Says, as Marley looks at him.

"So we can talk about monsters." Eliot Says

"And other non-freak things." Stacy Says

"I... I think I'd like that." Jack Says

"Count me in too." Marley Says, as the three teens look at her.

"Sorry Marley you seem cool, but no kids." Stacy Says

"I'm technically a teenager." Marley Says

"Pre-teen actually," Marley looks at him, "Sorry." Jack Says

"It's $37.08. But for the beer, I need to see some ID." Stacy Says

"ID?" Jack Says

Marley sighed in annoyance and took out Jack's wallet, taking out a fake ID and showing it to Stacy.
She nods and rings them up.

It's night and inside the Sheriff's Office, Sam sits at a desk in the squad room researching online, Elena is sitting at the table in the office looking at wedding dresses. While Dean sits on the table looking through files.

"Kohonta." Sam Says

"Gesundheit." Dean Says

"No, not—" He rolls his chair into the room, "Kohonta." Sam Says

"What is that?" Elena Asked

"It's a-It's a local Native American legend. I can't find much about it, but they're sort of...twisted monsters that roam the woods "driven to consume sweet mortal flesh." Sam Says

"You think this is our Hot Lips?" Dean Says

"Could be. I mean, according to the lore, Kohonta get so starving, they spit up stomach acid." Sam Says

"Mm. Gross." Elena Says

"Yeah. If that is our monster, it's old...and...hungry." Sam Says

BIG CREEK STATE PARK

In the woods, in the dark, a couple Fitz and Sara are seen hiking and carrying flashlights.

"How much longer?" Fitz Asked

"Keep up, old man." Sara Says, they stop once they hear whistling in the distance.

"What was that?" Fitz Says

"Nothing. It's just the wind." Sara Says, as the melodic whistling continues.

"We should head back." Fitz Says

He turns back the way they came and he sees a shadowy figure lurking nearby, watching them.

"Sara?" Fitz Says

Sara turns around and joins him, shining her flashlight toward the figure.

"Hey! Who the hell are you?! I'm talking to you, freak! I-" Sara Says

The figure moves and they see its monstrous, vine-covered face. Sara screams as the monster growls, and they try to flee. Fitz trips and falls.

"Sara, run!" Fitz Says

Sara runs, but the monster catches Fitz and drools on his face, burning him, before killing him.
