EMPTY · DEAN WINCHESTER [1]

Captives - Part III

~*~

Sam walked down the hallway, stepping in front of one of the units. Letting out a sigh, he stepped closer, picking the lock with ease. He was finally able to open it up.

As he lifted up the door, the light from the hall started shining inside to show Linda tied up with a gag in her mouth. She panicked as the door opened, shielding her eyes and protesting.

"No. No!" She begged shakily as Sam hurried inside with wide eyes.

"Ms. Tran!" He walked towards her in a crouched position as she held up her arms, still begging.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Its me, Sam. Its Sam." He spoke, trying to calm her as she finally opened her eyes to look up at him.

"Oh my gosh." Sam exhaled, taking in the look of her. She was beat up and obviously petrified. He removed the gag from her mouth as she stared at him.

"Sam..? We have to get out of here before it comes back." She said, staring at him with tear evident in her eyes. "Is Kevin with you?" She asked, causing Sam to peel his eyes from her shackles back to her eyes. His eyebrow furrowed and before either one could say anything else, the door to the unit closed on its own, locking them inside.

Ashleigh paced around the hallways of the bunker, chewing lightly at her fingertips. She was running out of time, she could feel it. "Dammit!" She yelled, the lights in the hallway shattering as she let out an exhale. Kevin crossed his arms, staring at her with a gentle look in his eyes. "Ash.. You need to calm down."

"Calm down?? Kevin, I'm laying in the next room DYING and I can't do anything about it. I can't stay calm.."

"You're not gonna die Ash." He smiled lightly before holding out his arms "Come on, do you really think those two are gonna let you die?"

"Let me? No.... But they couldn't save you either..." She stopped, lifting her head with a sad look "I didn't mean that..."

Kevin sighed, shaking his head "No, it's okay. You're right. They couldn't save me. But Ashleigh, they aren't going to let you die, especially not like this. They're both too stubborn." She looked away, biting on her bottom lip before Kevin smiled again, albeit mischievously.

"Don't you get it? Dean has a thing for you."

"Yeah right." She scoffed, leaning against the wall. "Dean likes the busty blonde women he meets in bars, not someone like me. I'm just a hunter, nothing special." She shrugged, making Kevin let out a groan.

"Man! You might even be more stubborn than he is! Open your eyes Ash. You'll see."

As he spoke, He slowly disappeared into thin air, leeching the woman all alone in the hall. She stared where he had just stood, the gears in her head turning before she turned her head, starting into her room where her body still laid. It was bruised and battered, her hair was atangled mess of blood and grime and her skin was pale. Her chest would rise and fall every few seconds, indicating she was still breathing, even if it was slow. She was still alive, for now. And she was going to do anything She could to keep it that way.

Sam picked the locks on Linda's shackles in a hurry. Whoever closed that door would soon be making their way to them, he was sure of it and he needed to get Linda out of there as fast as possible.
