YAPPPPPIIEEEE....

Now I wanna hug you sooo tight for giving me such pleasure!!!

*HUUUUGGGS*

WET

uhmm....

NEKKID

SAAAAAMMY!!!

*Dies and goes to HEAVEN*

Super awesome chapter. I like the way Dean's hovering around Sammy. Speaking of hovering, the bathroom scene was hilarious once again. Hehehhe... although it was helluva scary for Sam, but still, very entertaining for me. I mean, who wouldn't want to see him like the way you left him :D The ghost is one pain in the butt; why can't she just let Sam go? Now, again she has grabbed Sam's beautiful wavy hair which I do not like at all. Leave his hair you freaking ghost... x( Can't wait for the next chapter.

 

And I did what you advised me to do, I mean those clicking logging stuff. Let see if I get the alerts next day otherwise, I'm going to have a long chat with you.

 

How're doing now? Hows aunt Chris? Is everything under control now? Hope fort he best.

 

Hugs you again, Ritu :) 

Author's Response:

A long talk with me, eh? That sounds like I'm in trouble.....lol.

Auntie Chris is doing okay - she's busy sorting and packing up the house. Her brother is still in hospital waiting to be assessed, so things aren't under control yet, and won't be for quite a few weeks. But we're plodding along, getting done what we can.

So, naked Sammy killed you off, eh? I'm sure Allie enjoyed the sight of wet, naked Sammy as well, since she decided to pop in on his shower - lol. And yes, she's got a double hold of that lovely hair now, and she's not letting go.

Unless Dean gets to her first....

I'll say one thing for her - for a dead chick, she's pretty persistent.

hugs

Jules

I loved the first sentence, as I really could picture Sam, being confused and half out of it, jumping at the blast. I think anyone who had the phone ring or a thunder rock the house when they are asleep can image that. It was funny but also made me feel bad for the poor guy. Good that Dean was right there and was able to get him up the ladder and out of the cabin. But that trip to the Impala, wow, what a nightmare. Dean really outdid himself here. Five miles almost carrying his big little brother, the rain, hurting himself while trying to keep Sam from face planting and at the same time having to worry about the spirit and Sammy not being able to make it. Shows me what an awesome big brother he is, just have to love the guy.

I was so glad to see, when they finally made it, although by then Sam was really in bad shape.  I was also glad when they finally made it back to the B&B and Dean decided not to take Sammy to the hospital. After all, we would have missed out on the gratuitous nakey Sammy scenes. Okay, so he wore his shorts most the time, but that's okay, I rather see him with shorts on anyway. You really spoiled me here, like you've written it just for me. First the scene in the room with Dean trying to warm up his mostly comatose little iceberg brother and then the shower scene. And I bet Allie had fun there too. She is persistent, isn't she? 

I wanted to slap Eli and Eloise, they are so stupid, really. And how they didn't react to Sammy's puppy dog look made me lower my opinion of them even more. I'm just glad Dean finally told them off. Poor Virginia though, I felt so bad at how lost she was. Poor soul, just gotta love her. Again, you are doing such an excellent job with her. Loved how she was wondering about the County Fair because Moss was coming. You really got her down in a way that she is coming to life in all her frailness, down to the facial expressions and everything.  Anyone who doesn't love the little lady has to be missing part of the story. To me she is the heart of this, well right behind Sam and Dean.

And so sitting in the kitchen and Sam feeling the breeze, I just knew it was Allie again, it just had to be, as she has been such a pain to get rid off. She is really sneaky and I wonder if Dean can save Sammy before she Daphne's him again? A little mean to leave it right there, but strategically appropriate in every way. I really anticipate the next episode (like I don't do that anyway). I'm just grateful that you take me into your little world let let me be part of it. Hugs, Vonnie

Author's Response:

Hey, hun.

LOL - if you knew how many times we'd tweaked that damned line, you'd fall off your chair laughing. There is usually one line in a chapter which does us in - not every chapter, but normally we strike one line or phrase that undergoes endless tweaks and fiddles until both myself and Sarah are happy with it. And the getting there can sometimes threaten to do my head in....*sigh*....

And for this story - that was the line.

So thank you for that - our endless tweaking and doctoring, chopping bits out and adding others paid off. And yeah, I could imagine Sammy almost jumping clear off the ladder when the shottie went off right by his ear. Poor kid wasn't thinking too straight to begin with - lol.

It was a struggle to get back to the Impala, through the rain and the constant threat of Allie reappearing. And I was relieved when they finally got back to the room, too, because that meant another gap bridged as the "Don't want to be Daphne" line was one of the random bits of dialogue that I'd written two years ago. So it was very nice to write up to that bit and fill in the holes.

Ah, Eli and Eloise have their reasons for acting the way they do....and fluffy little Virginia has more to do with it than perhaps one realises. Thank you, though, for loving my OC. I put a lot of thought into Ms Hamilton - well, I put a lot of thought into all my OC's, but when one is crucial to the story, I go the extra mile with fleshing out the character.

Yep, you're right - it's Allie again, the persistent little tart... And wasn't that a rather juicy place to leave it? I'm quite proud of that cliffie. And there's another one coming up in the next chapter, too - lol.

Thank you for letting yourself become so immersed in my world. I am really thrilled that I can captivate you to such an extent.

hugs

Jules

That ghosts determined..and smart. She even outsmarted the boys..that's saying alot. LOL Thought it funny that Sam remembered not wanting to be Daphne..even with a concussion and hypothermia. Poor Sam!!

Can't wait till next week..we learn more about the Allie story, and I anxious to see how Dean gonna handled the ghost this time..salt in the face maybe.

Take care,
Jane

Author's Response:

Hi, Jane,

Yes, Allie's determined all right - but so is Dean. The unstoppable force is about to meet the immovable object, as they say. Fireworks ahead....

So thrilled that you liked poor addled Sammy saying that he didn't want to be Daphne. As I said to Vonnie, I'd written that line and the two lines above it two years ago when I first got the idea for the story. So it was very satisfying to fill in another gap when I wrote up to that point.

We will indeed learn more about Allie's backstory - and that of her three friends, including the reason for the conspiracy.

The only thing is, will it be enough to give Dean a clue to thwart the ghost once and for all, or will she finally succeed in getting her 'grabby, incandescent hands' on Sammy for good?

hugs

Jules

First of all sis, in reply to your reply - if Sam has been wet for two years waiting another week wouldn't have made him any more wrinkled, he is probably as wrinkled as he can get!

Awesome chapter, and pieces of the jigsaw are slowly falling into place, much too slowly for the Winchesters as, at the end of the chapter it sounds like Sam is about to be Daphne'd by Allie again as she has pulled him out of the salt ring- boy that ghost is persistent!

Thank goodness Dean eventually manged to get Sammy out of the cellar, back to the Impala and finally to the B&B!  And just gotta love Dean manly cuddling his little brother to transfer body heat and get him warm again!  And trust Dean to turn it round on Sam with snarky banter and to insist he spilled all the details of what Allie did to him, in the name of research for the hunt!

And poor Sam, not only having Dean keep watch on him whilst he is in the shower but Allie making another attempt to snatch him too!  Actually good job Dean was there with the canister of salt to disperse her!  And only Dean would think to sing AC/DC's Whole Lotta Rosie whilst peeing, no wonder Sam cringed in embarrassment!

At least they have now forced the three elderly residents of the town to start talking, but it's definitely not soon enough for Sam as Allie has now managed to disperse the salt and haul Sam out of the protective salt ring.  Just hope Dean's reflexes are quicker than Allie's as the others are too slow to be of any help!   

Now I just have to wait patiently until next Friday!  

Sarah

Author's Response:

Hey, sis,

Yep, that's true. If he was gunna be wrinkled like a prune, that would have already happened. LOL.

Thank you - yes, the pieces are being revealed now, with more to come in the next chapter. Most of the players are on the board now. They just have to keep Sam away from Allie long enough to actually hear the story...*grins*....

Ah, so glad you loved the other bathroom scene - lol. See, I did listen to your off-had comment about the sticking together thing having to work both ways. *nods*. It turned out pretty well, I have to say. And Whole Lotta Rosie - well, I Googled the lyrics, and thought that was perfect to completely discombobulate Sam - as if he wasn't rattled enough - LOL.

Dean's reflexes - well, let's hope that he at least turns his head before Allie makes off with Sammy again....

Jules

Ahhhh my favorite, limp Sammy.  Loved this one Jules and can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Hey, Denise!

Ah, we know your passion, hun. I'm happy to oblige with a bit of limpness for you. And I have wet limpness too.....(geez, that sounded a little naughty....think I just embarrassed myself...)

*blushes*

Anyway....*clears throat*....let's hope that Dean is fast with that shotgun otherwise they won't be getting out of that flooded cellar any time soon. So you got you some wet Sam and I got me some wet Dean.....and I'm definitely going to stop right there with that thought.....

Um - next chapter coming soon. Dean's going to have to get a bit more creative if he's going to stay one step ahead of the grabby ghost.

hugs

Jules

I love Virgina....Kooky ol' gal.

Your OC are always so interesting and fun.

 Dean in the john with Sam -- presious and priceless!

 And now Sam is gone missing. Yahooo. Is that bad of me? LOL.

 I may be slow...but I am still here.

Thank you, Jules for this story.

Will read more soon,

Karen

Author's Response:

Hi, Karen!

I'm thrilled that you love Virginia. And thank you - I sort of like quirky OC's, and I try to give mine as much personality as I can without having them take over the story. And Virginia is important to the story, so it was sort of imperative to flesh her out as much as I could.

Ah, the bathroom scene - Sarah loved that as well - lol. Dean should perhaps have stuck a lot closer....uh, not in the bathroom but certainly once they left the library. He'll know next time - that's if he can get Sam away from Allie in one piece.

Hope you enjoy the next chapter, hun - I have more wet Sammy.

Jules

Yeah!Dean finally found his very wet and so confused little brother, a confused Sam is a hilarious Sam, lol. But the ghost is not amused at all, she's pissed, very pissed and Dean can't count of Sam to help him get rid of her. Is it Friday yet, I want more already.

Author's Response:

Hey, hun,

Yes, he did, and just in time, too. If that water had risen any higher, Sam would have been in serious trouble. Even though Dean was probably wishing he'd gotten there a lot sooner.....lol. And they still have to get back to the car. And past the ghost....

Allie's far from amused that Dean's come to rescue her prize. And you're right - poor hypothermic Sam's going to be no help at all, especially as his feet are still tied together. However, Dean's still got his trusty shotgun. Let's just hope he's a) given a chance to use it, and b) got enough ammunition.

Not long now till Friday!

Jules

This ghost really has it bad for Sam. I can't wait to know what it is about Sam that draws her to him...and she is determined to keep Dean from him, but of course nothing she does will keep Dean from Sam.

Dean's conversation with Virginia was endearing...and he had a picture of Sam in his wallet...AWWW!! Loved that.

Loved the whole scene when Dean was rescuing Sam..concussed Sam is always funny, and always drives Dean crazy..LOL I'm glad you had that scene written and flapping in the breeze..perfect right where you put it.

Now how are the boys gonna get past that ghost? Look forward to next week's chapter. Talk to you soon.

Take care,
Jane

Author's Response:

She does indeed. Wonder why...is it just his dimples and puppy eyes,  or something else.....and yes, she is determined to keep Sam at all costs. But she's never come across someone like Dean before. 

Yeah, I figured Dean would keep a photo hidden - wonder whether he managed to get that photo of Sam back from the little Bender girl in season one? What's the bet he went looking for it after Sam locked the girl in the cupboard and set him free? 

I'm glad you liked the muddled Sammy scene - as I said, I've had that one written for two years. And it only required a tiny little tweak here and there to make it fit when I finally wrote up to that point. I'd originally had Sam in an open hole, and Dean tilting Sam's face towards the sky to check his eyes by moonlight, but it made more sense to have him in a cellar against a solid wall. Writing is an organic thing. 

As for how the boys are going to get past a very peeved off Allie - well, don't forget Dean's still got a shotgun....

Jules

Oh, man!  This was tense, and awesome!  And still funny...I love the muddled conversation!  

Author's Response:

Hey, Julie!

I had fun with muddled Sam. My gosh, it's hard to believe that scene was written two years ago. Right up to just before Dean picked the locks on the handcuffs to set Sam free. From that point on, it was all new. And I kept it from Sarah! LOL! I'm terrible to my beta. I owe her a Sammy shower scene for that, don't I? 

The tension has ramped up a bit, certainly, as the hunt has taken a deadly turn. And the ghost is determined to have her prize at all costs. Trouble is, there's an equally determined big brother standing in her way. And he's got a gun.....

Jules

Another awesome chapter sis.  And how dare you sit on wet, tied up, helpless and hopelessy muddled Sam for two years without sharing him with me!  I won't strangle you though as couldn't live without your awesome stories and really don't want to be up on a murder charge!

And talking of wet, tied up, helpless and hopelessly muddled Sam, what a delightful combination!  He may not be concussed but the hypothermia coupled with the goose egg on the back of his head, courtesy of Allie, is certainly making him sound completely out of it, and making Dean's job of rescuing him all the more difficult! 

That Allie certainly is a determined b*tch, good job Virginia actually mentioned her to Dean so he knew what he was up against: guess her long term memory is much better than her short term one!  And because of Allie, Dean's 'baby' nearly got damaged - thank goodness it was only a couple of scratches and not a huge dent in the bumper!

And just when you think Dean has finally rescued Sam, Allie turns up again.  Guess it was too much to hope that they would finally catch a break!  She certainly has the advantage now with both boys in that flooding root cellar, Dean trying to keep hold of his brother and disperse her too!

What a cliffie to end this chapter on - you are keeping Sam wet for another week Jules, there again seeing as he has been wet now for over two years another week won't make much difference!

Am already counting down the days to next Friday! :)

Sarah

Author's Response:

I confess, I was a bad author. I sat for two whole years on that scene, and didn't even hint to you that I had helpless and hopelessly muddled, wet, tied up Sammy. *hangs head in shame*... I'll make it up to you by giving you wet, naked Sam very soon, I promise. 

Heh, he was pretty funny, wasn't he? Poor Sam - not at his best by any means. And yep, Allie has her heart set on Sam, and she's not taking no for an answer. Dean's going to have to think fast if he's to stop Sam from being Daphne'd again. 

And yes, Virginia had the answer all along - or at least part of it. There's more to the story that even Virginia doesn't know, but all will be revealed eventually. Hopefully before Sam gets taken again.....

But for now, they have to get out of that flooded cellar....

I love cliffies! LOL!

Jules

oh, and if I'm keeping Sam wet for another week, won't he get all wrinkled...?

Hi Jules, so poor Sammy got Daphne'd, Dean should've tied a child lead/rein onto him lol. Oh I can see he will be so anxious now, good chapter look forward to the next one.

So Live Journal, I have tried that (with other writing though not SPN), it still confuses me! Good luck with it, and the weather here is all-sorts, springlike one moment then cold fog the next, but luckily no snow any more, at least not in my part of the UK.

Jacq.  

 

Author's Response:

Hi, Jacq,

LOL! Oh, I remember those child harnesses. Some do-gooders made them illegal out here now, but I can tell you from personal experience that they were a damned good idea. My youngest sister was always wandering off - you couldn't take your eyes off her for a second. A harness was almost a necessity when shopping with her.

And it would have been a boon for Dean, too, with half the supernatural beings in the country gunning for Sammy. Hopefully he can actually get some information from the eyewitnesses this time around. He certainly won't be taking no for an answer, that's for sure.

It took me a wee while to figure out the ins and outs of posting on LJ - think I've got it now. And it was third time lucky in sorting out how to post the story banners up. Still have a heck of a lot to learn about all the functions, like how to create a master list once I've got a few stories up - I've only had time to post the first two so far. It's been a crazy week.

As for our weather - well, it's typical Brisbane autumn: warm, muggy days and slightly cool nights. And the start of flu season....*sigh*....could have done without that, just quietly.

Ah, well, could be worse.

Jules

Schnikies!  Regardless of the great banner (and clue), I thought you might be pulling some reverse psychology on us and Dean would be the one Daphne'd.  (It would be funny to see him lose his own bet!) Looking forward to more!

Author's Response:

LOL! Hi, Dixie,

No, just a bit of misdirection to get you thinking that the big clue in the banner might be a red herring. However I might save that scenario for future reference - that's provided Sam would be foolish enough to take Dean up on another wager - lol.

More clues in the next chapter regarding the ghost, and a possible reason for all the kidnappings. Let's hope Dean can find his brother before Sam ends up like the other three blokes....

Jules
