Sam walked with his shoulders hunched over, dressed in thick winter gear as snow crunched under his boots.

God, what a jerk.

Sam had been minding his own business, trying not to think about what day it was and trying not to feel so weird when Dean had just started in on him. One black eye and a slam of the door later, Sam was tromping through the snow. Snow that had caused their Dad to be delayed 75 miles away, had closed school going on a week and had trapped the two of them in a hotel room together for too many hours to count. Sam was so ticked off. But Dean had already given him a shiner so he'd rather not continue that fight... He was just tired and the day was hitting him a little harder than usual. Dean too.

I don't know how I should feel.

Sam kept walking, thinking and giving off a 'don't bother me' signal louder than the train that went through the middle of town. He crunched snow, walking without purpose but keeping a ready eye out for any trouble.

It's not like I've ever met her. It's not like she's going to ever come back and it's not like I can ever see her. What does it matter?

Dean's rat a tat tat with his pen had been driving him crazy, but Sam was resolved to just let sleeping bears lie when Dean started yelling at him. Sam had defended himself and started yelling about that damn noise when it just got worse. Finally Sam had dropped the bomb, telling Dean what he was really thinking about and Dean punched him in the face. After kicking his brother, Sam walked out and slammed the door behind him.

How should I feel about a person I've never met? Someone I've given up a normal life for? Why do I feel so weird about knowing I'll never meet her and that she was dead before I was one years old? She's gone. She's dead and even if we do find whatever it was that killed her... It won't bring her back. I can't go back... I can't fix what happened, so why do I have to live this life that someone else chose for me?

Sam was so out of there. It was just a few years away, but his prison sentence was almost up and he could start living his own life. Away from all this. Away from the constant wandering, the injuries, the late nights and early mornings.... Then he could finally let his Mother lie in peace... and maybe not have to think about her...

How am I supposed to feel about someone I'm never going to meet? It doesn't matter how much I want to see her, meet her, get to know my Mother, it doesn't matter because she's dead. Dead is dead after all. She's dead, Dad's obsessed with finding her killer and Dean just doesn't get it. No one gets how it feels to finally realize without a doubt that someone's gone forever...

Author's notes.


This might be slightly OOC. If so, forgive me, but I needed to work through some stuff and Sam seemed to be the best character for the job.

Wow! My first solo story....

Leia/Leah

I likedd it!!!!!

Hope there is morreee!

Good job!

This is more than just a good job hun, this is freaken FANTASTIC!!!!!!! I love the start to this story. It seems like it is going to be very interesting. So Dean and Sam got into a fight because of their mother I take it. So um, the reason Dean is so pissy is because ............ it is his mothers death date? Birthday? What? *Note: Is confused* << but that doesn't take much. :lol:.

Again, great ...... no FANTASTIC ............. start to this wonderful story you have going here. Humph! For your first solo, I'd say you are doing a phenomenal job. ;). Keep the great work coming please! :D.

Chapter 2


Dean scowled as Sam slammed the door shut, wheezing slightly.

Fast little bitch.

He half fell back into the desk chair and threw his pen at the door, letting out a growl. He rubbed a hand over his face and leaned back, his breathing improving. Ok. Maybe he'd overreacted a little. He shouldn't have punched him so hard in the face... or started the fight. There was no way their Dad wouldn't notice the shiner that Sam was sporting. Plus Sam was pretty pissed this time... there's no way they'd come up with a cover story this time... but did the little twerp really have to kick him in the chest? Damn long legged....

Stupid freaking essay. Damn that old bitch. Just because I was more interested in Jessica's breasts then her stupid lesson was no reason to assign me this stupid topic...

Dean had been caught red handed by Mrs. Hill, not paying attention and had been given the most boring topic for his essay in the history of boring topics... 'A mother's role in society and in history.' But for some reason, it hit him funny... Seeing the scowl, she added something to the effect of 'Maybe you'll actually sit down and talk with your Mother instead of looking at Miss Thornapple's chest.' Dean still flushed at the memory. That had been two weeks ago and Dean still wasn't finished... or started. He wanted to just tell Mrs. Hill to go to hell and ask how she dared to presume that his Mother was alive... but then again, most people did have their Mother... It wasn't Sam's fault that Mrs. Hill had pressed a pretty big button and that it was so close to that day... and he'd apologize... sorta when the twerp got back.

Just because she's not here shouldn't mean she's gone forever....

Dean rubbed where Sam had kicked him. That'd leave a bruise. He was feeling a mix of pride that his brother was getting better and a little pissed that Sam had gotten one over on him. He'd have to fix that... Quickly.


All of a sudden, Dean felt a cold chill enter the room and he was diving towards the weapon's bag when everything went black and cold....

kittypride- Thank you so much!! I'm not sure on the exact date myself... but I'm sure I'll figure it out... Hope you like this.

Irishgirl- Thank you!

jensenishot- (Yes indeed, he is) Here you go! Enjoy. Thanks for reading!

Great couple of chapters Leia, really original story! :D Guess it must be near to the date of Mary's birthday as we know when she died - on 2 November! :huh:

Can see the reasons in the 2nd chapter why Dean got pissy with Sam, mainly because of the essay he was set, but obviously Sam is confused that his brother went off on one with him! :rolleyes: Guess he got a good kick back in retaliation! :P

Looking forward to next chapter, this is so good! :D

Sarah

:o What the HELL just happened at the end? Who? - What? - Where? - How? - Why? and When? Did whatever the hell it is get there? OMG!!!! :thud.

Seriously dude! That was a pretty mean way to end that right there! *Pouts*. :lol:. I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next! Keep the great work coming please! :D.

By the way, which date are you not sure of yet? If it is Mary's death date, then that is November 2.

Chapter 3

"Alisa!!"

Sam's head jerked up as a man was shouting in the middle of town. There was an Alisa in one of his classes.... He saw a group of adults standing around and talking while they looked around and held flyers. Curiousity overwhelmed his anger and he went over to them. "Hey... What's going on?"

"Alisa Spoonmore is missing. She disappeared a couple of nights ago." Came the distracted reply. "Have you seen her?" He asked, taking Sam in, his attention finally on the young man.

"No.. She's in my Geography class though..." He said, looking at the flyer. He couldn't keep from overhearing snippets of conversations from several of the men and women talking.

"-Tenth missing this week...."

"-That poor man, his wife dead now his daughter disappeared..."

Sam looked at the half broken man standing in front of him. He gave him a comforting look. "Can you tell me what happened? Alisa was one of the few who talked to me on my first day... She was a pretty good friend of mine..."

The man looked at Sam carefully as Sam gave him the 'I'm completely innocent' look. He nodded quickly and drew Sam away from the group. "Alisa... She was always meeting new people... I had left for a couple of hours... Just after the snow hit and when I returned... She was missing. Totally gone. Her room dark and cold... Alisa wouldn't do that! She knows the dangers of being trapped in the snow!" He rambled, trying to hold it together.

Sam gave him a comforting look with a slight, reassuring smile. "I'm sure she's ok and that they'll find her... soon." Hell, maybe that would give Dean something to do and knock him out of his mood... but then again, he had that essay thing he was supposed to be doing... "How about I go get my brother and we help out some?"

"We could use all the help we can get... Thank you, Son."

"No problem, Sir. I'll be right back." Sam said and took off towards the hotel. He pulled out his key and opened the door. The room was cold and dark. Sam reached over and flipped the lightswitch on to find that no one was in the room.

kittypride- I more meant I wasn't sure if it was close to her death, her birthday or something like that.... I'm glad you like it so much!! I hope you like this chapter too!

ziggy/Sarah- (Can I call you Sarah?) Thank you sooo very much! I felt I owed you all an explaination on Dean's crappy attitude. I hope you like this chapter!

Where's Dean :o
Angsty and intriguing.
Love this story so far :)
Nice work Leah, Can't wait to know what's next :) l

OMG one of Sam's classmates has gone missing, and her Dad has already lost his wife! Poor guy! Sam, being Sam will never miss an opportunity to help, but going back to the hotel Dean isn't there! :o Has he just gone for food or is there something more sinister about him not being there! :huh: Can't wait to find out! :D

Course you can call me Sarah! :)

Chapter 4


Sam scanned the room for the hundredth time... fighting the chill that permated the hotel room. It was warmer outside than in here. Nothing was out of place... Nothing except Dean. Even the weapons bag was in it's place. It was like he walked out, but all his winter gear was here. Of all the times for his Dad to be stuck...

Sam flipped the lights out after finding the heat was already cranked to the max. He returned to where the search parties were still loading up and going out. He went towards where Alisa's Dad was standing.

"Sir.. I went to where we're staying... and I think my Brother's missing too. He wasn't there and his winter gear was still there..."

The man looked at him in shock. "Was the room cold? Colder than outside?" He asked as a couple of people shook their heads and rolled their eyes. Sam nodded quickly. "Yes Sir... and the heat is all the way up."

"See... I told you Alisa's disappearance was strange!"

"How do you know that this punk's just not trying to play a joke on you? It's not like we've ever seen him around these parts... He must've heard your crazy theories and is trying to get something from you."

"That's not it at all!" Sam said, his worry for Dean overriding any manners he had. "We're new in town and I only heard that Alisa was missing... 10 minutes ago. Why would I try to trick this man? My Brother just went missing..." He trailed off, seeing the looks of disbelief. Sam glared at them. "Fine. I'll do this on my own." Sam stormed off, ignoring the yells from Alisa's Dad. Sam returned to the hotel room, feeling the blast of heat and grabbing supplies carefully. He had to look closer... There was some sort of clue... Something to point him in the right direction...

There. Sam looked at the ceiling and noticed the excess of spiderwebs all over the place. There were stories of spiders in folklore... maybe the town had crossed a Spider? This just raised more questions honestly... but maybe he could go look in the woods around the town...

It's a shortie... sorry y'all.

Sarah- Always something more sinister... *Evil laughter* Hope you like this!

Oceane!!- Yay!! Thanks so much babe! Hope you like the next update...

Ok, so I read the first update thinking to myself, "Oh hell NO! There better be more then just this", which I scrolled down to see that there was ........ only to be met with yet again ANOTHER short chapter that just leaves me with more questions! *Shakes head* I tell ya .............. :lol:. So yea, what the hell is going on? What are they dealing with? *Jumps up and down with anticipation* Come on!!!! I need to know!!!!!! *Pouts*. :rotfl.

Lovely TWO updates hun, and I shall be looking forward to the next one that is to come. ;).

Ten missing persons in this town in only one week and now Dean is missing as well :o
What's going on.
Sam found the first clue, a spider or lot of spiders, I hate spiders :hide
Intriguing, can't wait to know what'll happen next.

Spiders, huh, what happens if you cross a spider - guess we are about to find out! :rolleyes: Poor Sam people thinking he made it up about Dean going missing! Not good though if he is going to go into the woods on his own! Bad things always happen when they are separated, but then Sam doesn't have a choice with Dean missing! :rolleyes:

Great chapter, enjoying this story! B)

Chapter 5

Sam brushed the spider web off his face and kept walking, keeping track of where he was in the woods. He would have to start heading back soon... but he couldn't just leave Dean... There had to be some connection to the spider webs in the room and out here. That had to be the 50th he had walked through. He looked down at his clothes and saw the webs covering him. He shivered and kept walking, checking the ground for tracks or something. But it was all just trees, a few mounds, and pristine white snow all around.

As he stepped forward, he felt the ground give under him and Sam fell with a loud yell, further and further underground. He landed in a heap, his weapon sliding away from him in the darkness. He slowly rose, checking for broken bones or injuries. None so far... Good. Sam blinked a couple of times as his eyes adjusted to the darkness. Gigantic spider webs were everywhere... Sam walked closer, trying to check one out and gasped. That was a baby... There was a baby wrapped in spider silk, just lying there asleep! He reached out to try and pull it free but it wouldn't budge... and the web started shaking. Sam jerked his hands back quickly. As his eyes adjusted, he saw more people and infant shaped bundles all trapped in the multitude of giant webs. They all looked like they were merely sleeping....

"The hero makes his arrival at last..." A silky smooth feminine voice reached his ears.

Sam looked up, startled. A woman in a black dress, white skin, brown pupiless eyes and wide fishnet stockings appeared, balancing on the web strands. She cocked her head and looked at him like he were prey. Sam took a step back, glancing around for his weapon.

"Oh. You won't find it. Not until I want you too, that is... Welcome to my humble home, Sam."

"Wha- What are you? How do you know my name?" Sam asked in surprise.

"I am a Mother of Spiders... I don't have a name like you humans have... and my followers told me. The same followers that sacrificed their webs as you traveled through my territory."

"What?"

"You destroyed over 50 homes, Sam... I mean, they were set to lead you here, but they were their houses you just walked through.... I would hope you'd be a little bit remorseful over that... but you humans are all the same."

"Uh... I'm sorry... I wouldn't-"

She held up a hand, shaking her head. "Save the insincere apology. What do you want from me?"

Sam looked at her in shock. What the hell was he dealing with? "I want you to let all these people go."

She threw her head back and laughed. "No. These are my children... You wouldn't rob a Mother of her children, would you?"

"These aren't your children... That one's my brother!" He said, pointing to a sleeping bundle to her left.

"Oh... I know... but these will fill the need. I left you alone, is that not enough? Perhaps you and your Father will grow closer now that Dean has become my child..."

"I don't want that! I want my entire family!"

"You can't have that... Your Mother is dead... but Dean, Dean remembers her and misses her so. I'm doing him a favor. You never knew her... but I- I'm giving Dean so much." She scurried up the web and sat next to him, stroking his head. "And he's giving me so much in return... Just like a good son."

"Leave him alone!!"

"Or what?" She smirked. "You are powerless here, Sammy. Besides... This is just payback for what you humans have done to me. No Mother should loose her children..."

"We didn't do anything wrong!"

"Perhaps not, but he's still mine. Just give him up, Sammy. It'll be easier that way..."

She gestured towards him and the next thing Sam knew... He was waking up back in the hotel.
