vocab_drabblesTitle: Holy Water Horror
Fandom: Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: PG (for swearing)
Characters: Ryan, Shane
Words: 402
Summary: Shane should have known it was only a matter of time once the Holy Water appeared.
It happened during their Supercalifragilistic Halloween Special. Ryan and Shane were alone without any crew, just the two of them exploring the spooky Route 666. The government redesignated it as Rt. 491 in 2003 to try and curb the strange activity, but that hadn’t stopped witnesses from experiencing all manner of mysterious happenings: haunted trucks, ghost girls, weird lights, and a host of other terrifying events.
The Ghoul Boys were traveling the entire highway from Utah to Arizona, intent on finding proof of the supernatural, aliens, or both. Well, Ryan was anyway. Shane was hoping to have fun at his friend’s expense and put on a good show.
Ryan peered into the darkness as they sat on folding chairs after having stopped at an isolated turn-off to commune with the spirits. “Do you think we’ll run into any hell hounds or Skin Walkers?” he asked nervously.
“If they do, I guarantee Ryan will be running,” Shane replied into his hand-held camera with a smirk.
“You bet your sweet ass I will. So, what’s your take on Skin Walkers? We’ve never really talked about them.”
“I think most of the time it’s a case of mistaken identity, just a wolf—”
“Or a Chupacabra,” Ryan cut in.
“--Which has been proven to be a wolf-coyote hybrid.”
“Oh, c’mon, isn’t that kind of a hackneyed excuse by now? Like the government trying to claim every weird light in the sky is swamp gas. Like, give it a rest and come up with a new story.”
“Well, you’d better hope it is swamp gas, because that Holy Water of yours isn’t going to work against aliens,” Shane pointed out.
“Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure about that,” Ryan replied, rummaging around in the back of the van until he found what he was looking for. “I brought out the Big Guns for this one,” he exclaimed, dramatically brandishing a Super Soaker water gun.
Then Ryan’s excited finger slipped on the trigger, and the next thing Shane knew, he was being hit on the cheek with the blessed liquid.
A cheek that was now smoking and burning painfully.
He’d survive, but it was hurting like a bitch. And he really, really should have expected this would happen one day.
“I guess we need to talk,” Shane admitted as Ryan stood frozen in shock.
Needless to say, that part was edited out of the final episode.
THE END
Notes: I’ve read a couple of Buzzfeed Unsolved fics but I’m not in the fandom. The Shane-as-demon stuff was weird to me, and I never expected to actually write it. Then I was re-watching some Buzzfeed Unsolved episodes, and got to thinking, well, if he was, and Ryan had his Holy Water, that sounds like an accident waiting to happen… So here we are. It might have been done before, if so I apologize for the inadvertent similarity.
