Alive

Chapter 8: Stay Here A While

"We're here." Dean says as he pulls into the rocky driveway of the safe house.  The safe house is literally a giant cabin.  It's the prettiest, nicest cabin I've ever seen in my life.

There's trees surrounding the entire area so you can't really even tell how we got here or how we're supposed to leave. It's a little foggy because it's colder where we are. 

Dean parks the car and takes the keys out of the ignition.  "Wow. So this is home for a little bit."  Sam says as he opens his car door and gets out.  Dean gets out and opens my door for me.  I smile at him as I get out.  He smirks flirtatiously.

"It is at least until the demons decide to leave us the hell alone." He says. Sam opens the drunk of the car and begins to grab his luggage out. I grab mine after him, and so does Dean. We all walk up to the front door. "Wow, this is beautiful." I say as I check my surroundings. This place is so quiet and stunning.

Dean puts his bags down and walks over to a rocking chair that rests on the porch. He picks it up and moves it, picking up a floor board from the long deck. Under the floorboard is a small key. He grabs it and walks back over to the door, unlocking it for all of us. Hmm, a clever spot to hide a key.

"After you." Says Sam, being a gentleman and moving out of the way for me. I smile at him warmly. As soon as I walk in I am taken back and completely amazed. It's absolutely stunning on the inside. The ceiling is high up and there's a huge living room.

I begin to walk around, checking everything out. The kitchen is connected to the living room so everything is wide open, there's no wall between the kitchen and the living room. It's so beautifully decorated. I make my way toward the back room, at the back of the house. When I walk in, it's another living room except it has all kinds of books and such for research. There's even a nice desktop computer in the corner. I walk over to a door in the room that leads to the backyard. I look out to see in the backyard there's a grill, a picnic table, and a fire pit to have a fire. There's a huge fence all around it so nothing can get in, or even out. Geeze, this seems like some kind of vacation home. Or even a lodge. I love it.

I walk outside, looking around further. I hear Sam following me out. "Okay wow, this is crazy. It's so nice here. And so quiet." He says from behind me. I nod, agreeing. I notice that on the sides of the fence there's spray painted symbols to keep everything supernatural out. "Damn. I think we're gonna have a nice stay." I say with a laugh. This is definitely not what I imagined. I imagined some crazy bunker of some sort. This is crazy nice. I turn and walk back inside while Sam stays outside to continue to look around.
"I'll help you carry your bags upstairs if you want to pick your room." Dean says, meeting me in the giant living room. I smile, biting my lip. "Thank you Dean—that'd be awesome, actually." I say as I hand him one of my luggage bags while I carry the other. We slowly walk up the stairs and into the long hallway. The floor boards creek slightly under our feet. Everything here has that new smell to it, it's so nice.

"How many rooms are there?"  I ask.  "Three."  Dean responds, walking past me.  We walk down the hallway and look at all the rooms.  "Which one do you want?" He asks. I take a short moment to think. Every room is so nice and roomy that it really doesn't even matter which one I have.

"I'll pick the one with the balcony." I grin. He chuckles, "Good choice." We walk into the room and sit my things down by the closet door. It's a pretty good sized room. It has the prettiest balcony outside of it too, with a cool view of the miles and miles of trees. Dean walks over to the balcony doors and opens the curtains. "Oh, wow." He says as he stares at the astonishing view of the woods.

He opens the doors all the way and walks out onto the deck, his boots clinking on the wooden floor. I follow him, leaving the doors open behind me. Dean walks over to the edge and rests his arms on the railing. A small breeze hits us, the cool wind smells of nature and fresh air. I walk up and stand beside him, crossing my arms. "It's beautiful." I say. He nods in agreement.
