I was down in her basement with Dean, looking for something that would explain everything. I pulled out a book that said 'Jake- 12 year old.' I scanned through some pages then found exactly what we needed.

"Dean."

He grabbed the book from me, looked at what I saw, grabbed my hand and practically dragged me upstairs with his bow legs. He showed Andrea the picture.

"Do you recognize any of these kids?"

"What, um no, I mean except, that's my dad right there, he must have been about 12 in these pictures."

"Cris Bars drowning, the connection wasn't to Bill Carlton, it must have been the sheriff."

"Bill and the Sheriff, they were both involved with Peter." Sam concluded.

"What about Cris, my dad, what are you talking about?"

I looked over to see Lucas gazing out the window.

"Lucas, Lucas what is it?" I asked the boy. He just opened the door and walked outside. We all followed him.

"Lucan Honey." His mom said trying to get his attention.

Lucas stopped at a patch of grass. He looked down and then looked back up.

"You and Lucas go back and stay inside alright?" Dead ordered. Andrea grabbed her son and went back to the house.

We started digging. My shovel hit something metal in the ground. I looked up at my brothers as all of us started digging with our hands. Eventually we pulled out a red bicycle. Peter Sweeney's red bicycle.

"Peter's bike." I whispered out of breath.

"Who are you?"

With the click of a gun, I turned around to see the sheriff aiming at my head.

"Put the gun down Jake." I insisted slowly dropping the bike.

"How did you know that was there?"

"What happened, you and Bill killed Peter, drowned him in the lake, then buried the bike, you can't bury the truth Jake, nothing stays buried." Dean said with his hands still raised.

"I don't know what the hell you are talking about."

Dean continued,

"You and Bill killed Peter Sweeney years ago and now you got a seriously pissed off spirit."

"It's going to take Andrea, Lucas, everyone you love, it's gonna drown them, and it's going to drag their bodies god knows where, so you can feel the same pain Peter's mom felt." Sam explained.

"And then after that, it's gonna take you, and it's not gonna stop until it does." I said in a calming voice.

"How do you know all that?"

I continued,

"Because that's exactly what it did to Bill Carlton."

"Listen to the three of you, you're insane."

"I don't really give a rat's ass what you think of us, but if were gonna bring down this spirit, we need to find the remains, salt them, and burn them into dust, now tell me you buried Peter and you didn't just let him go in the lake." Dean hoped.

"Dad is any of this true?" Andrea's voice suddenly spoke out.

"No, they're liars, and they're dangerous."

"Something tried to drown me, Chris died on that lake, dad look at me, tell me you didn't kill anyone."

He stayed silent.

"Oh my god."

"Billy and I were at the lake, Peter was the smallest one we always bullied him, but this time it got rough, we were holding his head under the water, we didn't mean to, but we held him under to long, and he drowned, we let the body go and it sank."

He continued,

"Oh Andrea, we were kids, we were so scared, it was a mistake, but Andrea, to say that I have anything to do with these drownings, with Cris, because of some ghost, it's not rational."

"Alright listen to me, all of you, we need to get you away from this lake as far as we can right now." Dean ordered.

Suddenly Andrea gasped, we all looked over to see Lucas peering into the forbidden lake. I took off running with the others not so far behind me.

"Lucas!"

"LUCAS!"

"Stay where you are!"

I saw a hand pop up and drag Lucas into the water. I didn't even hesitate. I took a straight dive into the water with Sam and Dean close on my tail. I swam around under water with my eyes wide open. I came back up for air to see my brothers.

"Harley, Sam."

We both nodded no to Dean as we all went back under. Then I saw him but Peter was no where around him. I looked over to see Jake sinking lower and lower. I wrapped my arms around Lucas and brought him to the surface.

"Dean, Sam!"

Dean immediately swam over to me and grabbed Lucas. Sam got on top of the dock as Dean handed over the boy. He then got on and reached his hand out to grab and pull me up. I was an inch away from Dean when I was dragged back under. There was a rope wrapped around my foot. It was tied to something heavy that kept on sinking lower and lower. I looked down to see Peter smiling. What the hell did I ever do to him? I could see both my brothers dive back in. I quickly grabbed the rope around my foot and did the first thing I thought of. I imagined the shock waves. My hands started to fry it with electricity, but it wasn't enough. I was losing air and my brothers swimming feet were getting smaller and smaller. I looked back at the rope and pointed my hands at it imagining the red magic. It started to appear, I imagined it untying the rope and it worked. I started swimming back up. I took the deepest breath I could when I reached the surface. Dean immediately wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up to Sam who laid me on the dock. I was coughing like crazy as both my brothers hugged the life out of me.
























We all tossed our bags into the back of the Impala.

"Look we aren't going to save everybody." Sam said trying to reassure Dean.

"I know."

"Sam, Dean, Harley!" Andrea shouted our names.

"Oh hey." Dean said us the three of us walked over to them.

"We just, um, we made you lunch for the road, Lucas insisted on making the sandwiches himself."

"Can I give it to them now?"

He spoke! I looked at Dean excitedly as he just side hugged me with a smile.

"Of course."

"Come on Lucas let's load this in the car." Dean said taking the platter and walking to the Impala. I followed them both. Dean put the sandwiches in the backseat with me.

"This is a very important phrase, so I want you to repeat it one more time." Dean declared to Lucas.

"Zeppelin rules!"

"That's right up high!"

"You take care of your mom okay."

"All right."

Andrea and Sam joined us. She gave Dean a kiss and thanked him.

"Guys, move your ass, were gonna run out of daylight before we hit the road." Dean said blushing.

"Sir, yes sir." I saluted him as I crawled into the back seat, and just like that, we were on the road again, but this time was different from the last. I knew for a fact I had magic and electrical powers running through my veins.
