Chapter Two
My name is John Winchester, and I have two other children, Sam and Dean. I know that all this is hard on you, but I want you to remember that I had my reasons to send you to Vedetta and Lexine. They are women of letters and people that I absolutely trust. They will take care of you and by the time you reach eighteen I expect them to tell you everything. Keep going kid. I'll see you soon.
John Winchester.
You read over the letter again and can't believe your eyes, your father had been looking out for you after all. Wondering what else he could be hiding, you look into the envelope and notice something old and rusted. Confused, you pull the object out and realize that it was a key to another building and not the same one as the hidden room in the orphanage.
"You see?" Lexine said. "Your father dropped you here so you can train in case something went wrong and he was ready to bring you in to meet your brothers, but he also wanted to give you a normal life for as long as you can."
"If that's the case, what were you fighting?" you are curious, especially due to the creature attacking the place?" Vedetta and Lexine glanced at each other before turning toward you. Looking between the two you wonder what else they were hiding. "It was hairy and I couldn't make out its full shape." Vedetta got up from the table and walked over to one of the old dusty books. Setting the envelope down you wait, expecting someone to laugh in your face and not considering the fact that everything is truly real and not a makeshift of your imagination. Once Vedetta pulled out the dusty old book she placed it on the table and slid it toward you. You look down at the book then back at Vedetta.
"It's called The Cuegle," Vedetta said and opened the book to a book marked page. "It's part of the Cantabrian Folklore, this thing walks mostly on two legs and has black skin with a long beard and gray hair," Vedetta explained. "In some cases, this creature can have three arms, it's mainly famous for stealing babies, which is why it often goes after infants, once it takes what it wants, it kills the infant."
"Exactly," Lexine agreed. "It's one hideous beast, even worse than Krampus if you think about it."
"How does someone defeat it?" you asked. If indeed the creature came after you for that particular reason you needed to find these so-called brothers and figure out how to dispatch the monster.
"Usually special herbs, but your brothers will know more." Vedetta responded, Lexine walked over to another closet and pulled out a small bag. She throws it to you and you catch it but it nearly falls out of your hands. Quickly picking it up you pull the bag over your shoulder. "You should leave now, before it comes back." You start to tear up willing yourself to push forward, you hug Vedetta and Lexine thanking them for everything they have done and quickly leave before the creature comes back.

You walk out of the hidden bunker and out of the orphanage gripping your bag as tight as you possibly could, you take deep breaths and walk toward the bus stop. Five minutes later, the bus stops in front of you and opens its doors. Inside you notice the driver who doesn't seem to look at you. Ignoring that terrible feeling in the pit of your stomach, you climb on board and tell the driver that you need to get to Lebanon, Kansas. Assuming you know where to go, maybe you might get lucky and run into your brothers. But either way it was better than staying in the orphanage. The bus started and the driver began the long drive to Lebanon. With only $100.00 in your pocket you stare out the window and wonder what your brothers would be like. You were so lost in thought that you began to doze off until eventually you were consumed with darkness.
You are in the middle of nowhere, nothing around you for miles, but as you begin to walk down the long stretch of dirt, you are close to giving up and calling it that you are lost. But suddenly, a voice speaks to you, loud and clear. You stumble a bit wondering who was talking to you, however, the more you look around you start to believe that it was all in your imagination.
"Follow my voice." a calming sound came from nowhere. You start running after it thinking that maybe it would lead you away. Out of breath, you continue your trek through the wilderness following it like your life depended on you."Trust me child, you'll know where to go." You continue on pushing yourself to your limits and thinking that maybe it was a trap. But, you eventually come across an old beaten down sign. It doesn't say anything except show you an eight point star with an arrow pointing deeper into the forest. Taking your chances you run into the forest and continue to follow the path until you reach another bunker. Only this bunker was bigger than the one that was hiding under the orphanage. In fact, the building is two stories high with a black 1967 Chevy Impala parked before it.
You bolt awake at the sound of the bus stopping, and look around, it was about midday and the bus driver was looking in his driver mirror.
"Kid? Are you going to get out?" he asks.
"What?" You respond still groggy from sleep.
"I said are you getting out?" the driver repeats. "I can't take you any further, it's too thin. You'll have to go out on foot." Gathering your personal items and your letter, you walk off the bus and start walking. The driver pulls away leaving you in the dust. Before you were on a long trek of dirt road something that you would have thought that the driver could go far but after you had looked at the GPS you realized that there was practically nothing ahead. Shaking your head, you begin to make your way down the dirt road and continue on. Tired and exhausted still even after you've slept soundly, you couldn't help but think that something was following you. You pause and listen, suddenly rustling comes from somewhere to the right of you and you panic, turning to the right and you take off as fast as you possibly can to get away. Behind you, you could hear growling and your stomach drops thinking that it was a rabid dog. Pushing on you runs as fast as you can dodging anything that could get in your way including branches and rocks.
The minute you break through the trees you see the same bunker that you saw in your dream. You were thankful that you could find it even if it was through a chase. Walking over to the door, you knock on it scared and wondering who could be on the other side. A few moments later you hear someone walking toward the door and pull it open. Standing before you was a man no older than thirty-three years old. Dark blonde hair with green eyes and light freckles.
"Can I help you?" the man asks his voice deep and almost gravely.
"I'm sorry to intrude but I'm looking for Sam and Dean Winchester," you say, your heart beats fast. "My name is y/n and I'm their younger sister."
