Stone Cold

26

I walk back into the hotel room and Ace looks over at me.

"Where were you?"

"Just needed fresh air."

"With Shane?"

"He wasn't with me." I mutter hearing the shower water running.

"Funny, he said both of those same things." He says and I glare flopping onto the bed.

"So what's the plan today?" He asks changing the subject.

"Catch a damn demon and forget everything else." I mutter

"What?"

"Nothing. Let's just try to track down the demon." I say as the bathroom door opens. Shane steps out and looks right at me before turning away to dig through his bag.

"We're gonna talk about this." I hiss in his mind and he turns to face us.

"No."

"Let's get going."

I glare but stand up anyways and grab my bags. I walk past him and "accidentally" bump into him as I go.

He has no response though and I huff continuing on. We walk outside through the back exit then take off toward the address I flashed on last night. My head's been killing me all day and as the time passes the thought that Seth is lying to me about something, grows harder and harder to ignore. I don't want to think he's lying to me, I don't want to feel like he's lying to me, but I also know what I felt last night. Through the love and the want, I felt the guilt...

I keep lead hearing the boys behind me but not looking back. I know what I'm looking for. Whatever the whole Shane mess is, will have to wait for another time, cause right now I've got a job to do and a brother to track down.

"There's nothing here. Shit!" I exclaim kicking the rubble.

"Yeah cause shouting at it is gonna make this so much better!" Shane bites out and I spin on him and glare

"Buzz off." I hiss and he laughs

"I don't get what you think is so damn funny! We're nowhere closer to finding Jason and I am so sick and tired of chasing nothing!" I exclaim then gasp as I suddenly flash. I grab onto Seth and his whole demeanor changes.

"Neveah what is it?" He asks as I continue to grip onto him. I breathe heavy as the images rock through my body and he lowers me to the ground.

"Hey Neveah look at me." Shane says and I slowly look up.

"So much blood." I whisper coughing as I see my brother's face.

"I know, I know where they are." I mumble and Shane yanks out his walkie talkie.

"Ace, we got something." He says

"Yeah so do I." I hear him respond

The images finally cool it and I move away from Shane, back to remembering that I don't like him very much right now.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. Let's go." I mutter shrugging him off. My head starts to spin and I groan rubbing my temple.

"Neveah you don't look-

"I said I'm fine." I say forcing myself to stand up. I finally gain control and take a deep breath. Ace comes back into view and looks between Shane and I but doesn't say a word.

"Come on." I say then start off onto a new trail, hoping it'll actually lead somewhere this time.
