CYPHER

Lustful gazes..

He stopped walking a few feet to them and just stared at them .

They all gulped collectively at his intimidating stare and his massive body , he looked even scarier in the day .

Dean was sure if this much of him had been visible last night , he would not have jumped at the chance to throw his life away and neither would May .

May broke out from the circle they had formed around each other and pushed the sack she carried into Blade's arms , displacing the aim of his rifle for an instant .

Her guns were out in the same instant ,one in each of her hands .

" What do you motherfuckers on depression and daddy problem pills want ? "

Yeah , May was ascertaining her point from yesterday , she would have still jumped at the chance to mouth off or get beaten to a pulp .

Top dog was quiet while his friends walked forward , closing in on them .

They were all jacked up fellows but not nearly as jacked up as their middle man .

Dean turned around to make sure it was just the three of them , there was no one behind them but Dean wasn't running back to that dump .

So he stepped forward .

" Why did you rearrange our pointers ? What do you want ? "

Top dog smiled , his teeth were yellow and looked like he fed on batteries that had pressed his teeth inside , his teeth were incredibly short , almost completely disappeared into his gums.

" You know , after our little show yesterday I wanted to have a small chat with you but you had run on home ".

One of his men began to snicker , he was looking at Jade .

" Hey Top , the guy you were supposed to take care of last night , he's now a friend of theirs ".

He grabbed Jade , pulling him away from Dean's back where he had been glued .

Top laughed when he saw Jade .

" That would be four little birdies with one stone ".

Top and his goons began to laugh like that was the joke of the century while May walked over to the one that had grabbed Jade , she pushed her gun into his ears .

" Let him go if you don't want your ear as a flaming hot present ".

It would be a three on three match if they ended up fighting , they seemed stronger and Dean had a distant premonition of getting their asses handed to them .

Dean and Top moved even closer to each other .

" What do you want with us ? The midnight gauntlet is over but if you still want , I could hand your ass to you again , at least you'll be saved from having an audience this time . But , your friends would certainly begin to question your competence ".

Dean clapped his hands as if he had made a realization .

" Or we could beat all three of you together , that way your friends are too ashamed of their own incompetence to mention yours . What do you say ? "

Top dog showed Dean his teeth , his face taking on a mad expression .

It took a second for Dean to realize that he was supposed to be scared , he blinked at the large truck of a man in front of him .

He seemed to be holding himself back .

" The only reason you are still breathing is because beating you here after you humiliated me is not worth it . When I beat you , it'll be in front of a crowd , so I can regain my status . Till then, you had better watch your back and the sky , so you don't get crushed by a falling meteorite besides you already proved to me that you are no killer ".

" You could have killed me yesterday, it was well within your rights as the winner of the game and even now , each of you have a gun and yet , we are all still standing ".

Dean had really not gotten anything from the speech , except meteorite .

" I'm surprised you know what a meteorite is ".

Top dog chuckled evilly .

" I'm challenging you to another gauntlet at midnight in the Arena , be there with your coffin and your mourning clothes ".

" No ".

" Yes ".

Dean had said no at the same time that May said yes .

He turned around to see her , he began to mouth warnings at her but she did not pay any attention to Dean , she came forward , her guns swinging dangerously around .

" Yes , I'll fight your goddamned asses , I've been wanting to fight you ever since I laid my eyes on you yesterday ".

We all flinched at the level of cringe from her statement , Blade grabbed Jade and returned to Dean's side .

Top dog was sporting a disgusting leer , Dean grabbed hold of May and pulled her behind him , removing her guns from her reckless grasp .

" I'm flattered but no will have to be sufficient , I only want to fight with Dean here ".

Dean had never told him his name .

" f*****g bastard!! You won't fight with me because I'm a girl ??"

May began to struggle with Dean , holding her fingers out like she intended to scratch him to death.

Top laughed , a deep rumbling sound.

" No , I'm actually quite the feminist . I don't want to fight you because I want to fight Dean and any other person would be a bore, especially you because you would be so predictable ".

May growled loudly like an injured animal,Dean could not hold it anymore , he released May and turned to Top.

" How do you know my name ??? And how did you know where we would be ? "

Top continued his laughter .

" Fight me and I'll tell you ".

" No ".

" Yes , I'll f*****g fight you ".

They all turned to May , she seemed quite intent on fighting this truck that was almost ten times her size at eye value.

" Someone from my team will fight you , not me . If you can beat her , I'll think about fighting you ".

" Wait , you want her to fight Martha ? "

Goon one asked and continued to giggle like it was just the funniest thing .

May visibly relaxed , She didn't look as happy as she should have looked that he was finally granting her request .

She came to stand behind Dean then , all of her preppiness having disappeared .

" You should leave now that your business is done here ".

Top dog nodded but he didn't leave , so Dean did , with the others following closely behind him .

As they passed between the three of them , Top dog suddenly pulled on Dean's shirt , Dean whirled around , c*****g the gun as he did.

Top and his goons threw their hands above their head .

" What do you want now ? "

Top smiled sinisterly , exposing his disgusting teeth again .

" Could we have some ? "

Dean looked around , following Top dog's pointed finger and his goons lustful gaze , he was about to shoot at them when he realized that they were not pointing at May but at the sack she was carrying .

He turned sharply to Top dog who was still smiling like a p*****t .

" Could we have some Cheetos ? "

" Funyuns for me or any onion flavoured chips or rings ".

" I will take anything with chocolate , but not M and M's or anything with nuts or too much colour ".

Dean stared in disbelief at all three of them that were even too focused on the sack to notice his face .

Dean sighed and turned around to May who only held the sack tighter , He nodded towards Blade to take care of it .

Blade promptly used the opportunity to wrestle the bag out of May's hands and distributed what they had each requested for .

Dean watched them leave when they were done .

Just three huge men holding bags of Cheetos , Funyuns and chocolates .

They began to walk when Dean realized that they were still lost and still had no idea how to get out of the woods .

What kind of day was this really?

Dean looked up, above him, took a deep breath and screamed with every last of his breath and then began to run .

The others chased after him with May cursing him out loud as they ran .
