SOMETHING HE COULDN'T PUT HIS FINGER ON

AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER

One-shot companion piece to Wax Hunt. Read that first or you'll be thoroughly confused Takes place in early season one of Supernatural, which belongs to Eric Kripke and the CW. House Of Wax belongs to Dark Castle Entertainment. Reference to Wendigo.

There was something different about Sam that Dean couldn't put his finger on. Maybe it had to do how jumpy he had been in Black Water, or how at times he seemed to have a slight limp in his right leg. Or maybe it was the nights he had the strange nightmares--not about Jessica, he knew that, 'cause he always admitted to those. But these were nightmares that seemed to terrify him more than anything. Sometimes he'd call out the two names: Carly and Nick. And then there were the phone calls. Phone calls from who he supposed were the names he called out and sometimes Sam called them. Dean had heard one of those calls once. Sam didn't know it though. He had thought he was still out getting food. He had heard Sam speaking soothingly saying that he was fine and telling whoever he was talking to that they had nothing to worry about, that the house was gone. That had really confused Dean. What house was Sammy talking about? Yeah, there was definitely something different about Sam these days. Dean just couldn't put his finger on what it was.
