"Just a small town girl... living in a lonely world"
"Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.. she took the midnight train going anywhere.. Just a city boy born and raised in self control, he took the midnight train going anywhere".
BOSTON...
Elle sat up and glared at the CD player from her spot on the couch,it was the 3rd time that night that the CD player had just started playing that song.
She reached for the remote and hit the stop button and crashed back down against the cushion she was slumped on.
"Seriously gotta sort that thing out" she grumbled to herself as she began to channel hop on the TV.
She scanned channel after channel of complete and utter crap, the same rubbish every night.
She stopped on one of those paranormal shows 'Most haunted' and watched it for a few moments then sniggered as she saw the main so called paranormal investigator asking the spirits to let them know they were there.
The woman on the show hushed everybody and told them to listen to the tapping that was in the room "it's a ghost" the woman shrieked excitedly and asked for more tapping.
Elle smirked and rolled her eyes "oh please, if a spirit wanted to make it's self known it would do more than tap on the walls.. well at least all the spirits I've met have done".
She picked up the remote again and started flicking through channels and stopped on another paranormal show 'Ghost hunters'.
The guys on the show were sat in a room with a camera and were asking spirits questions and explaining things like EVP and EMF.
Elle rolled her eyes again and switched off the TV via the remote and rolled off the couch onto the floor "EVP, EMF, SPOOKS... BOLLOCKS.. TRY THE FREAKING APOCALYPSE.. I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM DEAL WITH THAT" she yelled as she climbed to her feet and made her way to the bedroom.
It had been a long day for her and she decided it was best to get some sleep, even though she didn't feel tired she knew if she stayed up any longer she would either end up throwing the TV out of the window due to mindless stupid paranormal shows or she'd end up watching the shopping channels and buying stuff she really didn't need like an extendible feather duster for reaching those hard to reach places.
She headed to the bathroom and did the usual, brushed her teeth, washed her face and stared at herself in the mirror for ages.
She was contemplating dying her hair because the brown hair she had was becoming boring.
'Maybe I should go blonde or maybe a redhead' she thought to herself as she stared at herself some more.
She was a pretty girl with shoulder length dark brown hair and piercing green eyes.
Nothing like her mother who was blonde with bright blue eyes.
'Maybe I get that from my father.. who ever he is' she thought to herself before heading out of the bathroom and into her bedroom.
She had been in this room all her life and it hadn't changed much over the years.
She still had the same cream wallpaper with pink flowery boarder she had up when she was a child but now she had several posters on the walls and a map of the USA with coloured thumb tacks in it.
The posters were of a few male celebs and bands she liked, Jared Leto from 3O Seconds to Mars, James Franco and some British TV actor who played a character called Dr Who.
The map was part of research and the thumb tacks marked places where omens had occurred and places with high rates of supernatural activity.
Elle's mother tried to raise her the best she could.
Even though she was a hunter she made sure her daughter lived a normal life, school, friends, holidays and anything else normal people did.
She kept the existence of supernatural creatures away from her daughter and the only time they spoke of vampires was when Elle was watching Buffy and was drooling over Spike.
The only time they spoke of ghosts and Demons was when they had been to see a horror movie other than that everything was nice and normal.
When Elle's mother would go on hunts she would get a babysitter or close friend to watch Elle and she would tell her daughter she either had a date or was on a business trip.
Her mother managed to keep up the façade for years until a man by the name of Bobby Singer rung the house and thought he was speaking to Elle's mother and started updating her on a hunt.
A nest of vampires outside of town was kidnapping girls and turning them into vampires for mates.
He told her the location 'Great Arberton route 32' before she stopped him and told him that he was speaking to Elle and not her mother.
She glanced around the kitchen thinking the guy on the phone was a nut job but her eyes fell upon a map on the kitchen table and a big red circle around 'Great Arberton'.
Just then it sunk in that maybe the guy on the phone wasn't crazy after all. Why else would her mother be going to Great Arberton at 11.30pm on her own if it wasn't on a hunt.
Elle ordered the guy Bobby to spill all and tell her what her mother was doing on this hunt and how the hell vampires were real.
He quickly told her that her mother was a hunter of the supernatural and had been for years and that she was on a hunt to kill the vampires in the nest so they would stop killing girls and turning them into blood sucking bitches.
Elle was gob smacked and almost fell onto the kitchen floor, she asked Bobby how many vampires are in an average nest just like it was a normal conversation and when he said it depends, it can be anything between 5 and 30 vampires.
Elle then snapped out of her gob smacked state and her heart sunk.
"30 blood suckers" she shrieked down the phone "and my mother has gone alone" she screetched.
She thought about phoning the police but knew they would think she was crazy and instead of going to Great Arberton to check on her mother they would go to her house and cart her out in a straight jacket.
She calmed her breathing and composed herself "ok so vampires, how do you kill them" she asked the man on the other end of the phone.
She heard a sigh and silence on the other end.
She gripped the phone reciever tighter and heard it squeaking under her grip "look buddy that's my mom and if you don't tell me how to kill those bastards I'll just go along anyway and probably get myself killed so how about you tell me the deets OK.. does garlic have any effect" she asked in an authoritative tone.
Bobby took a deep breath "look your mother's gonna kill me for this but hey if you go and get yourself killed she's gonna kill me anyway so either way I'm dead.... no garlic does nothing for vampires, neither does wooden stakes, you need fire and to kill a vampire you need to either cut it's head off or you can render it powerless using dead man's blood.. but I'd hardly advise digging up the local cemetery so stick to fire and beheading OK sweetie".
Elle then hung up the phone and ran to the garage where her mother kept the gas, BBQ fluid and anything else flammable, she grabbed a lighter and some fire lighters for good measure then headed to her car.
She knew where route 32 was and she could get there in fifteen minutes if she floored it.
Elle arrived at route 32 and saw her mother's car abandoned on the side of the road, she saw a warehouse in the distance about a mile from the road and decided that had to be where the nest was, there was no where else in the area.
She ran closer gripping the flammable goods and lighter, she had no idea what she was going to find.
As she got closer she heard a man's voice mocking and then she heard a woman cry.
No not a woman.. her mother.
Elle ran closer and hid behind a gap in the wall and saw a group of men surrounding her mother who was on the floor beaten and bloody.
"Look at all that tasty blood going to waste" one man said as he bent down infront of her mother.
"Get away from me you sick bastard" her mother screamed "just kill me and get it done with you freak" she screamed.
The men laughed and the one who had bent down stood back up and grinned at her mother.
"Oh I'm not going to kill you.. far from it.. I'm going to make you my mate" he said sickly.
Elle felt her heart sink and her blood boil at the same time.
This had to stop, she had to save her mother.
Just then she heard a snap of a twig behind her and she wheeled around not thinking, she kicked out and the man who had sneaked up behind her was on the ground.
She grabbed him by the throat and held a broken piece of glass she had found on the floor to his throat "who are you?" she snarled.
The man stared at her with fear in his eyes "Gordon... my names Gordon.. I'm a hunter.. don't kill me" he spluttered.
Elle stared at him "how do I know your not a vampire and when I let you go your not gonna rip my throat out" she snarled.
Gordon's eyes shot down to the broken piece of glass "well if I were a vampire that piece of glass would do nothing to me and you would already be dead".
Elle slowly released the man and shot back to the whole in the wall and watched the vampires and her mother.
"We need to save her" Elle whispered.
She felt the man bend down next to her and look through the gap in the wall "we will, now I need you to distract them do you have anything you can burn" he asked.
Elle smirked "how about this" she replied as she held up a bottle of BBQ fluid and a fire lighter.
"Perfect" he replied.
He told her to run in to the nest and light a piece of ragged cloth and hold it in the bottle of fluid and threaten to throw it to get their attention as he sneaked in the back and released her mother.
The plan worked and Gordon and her mother with Elle's help killed the nest of vampires and after that her mother let her in on the whole hunting deal and even let her go along on a few small hunts.
Elle soon became a good hunter and started going out on her own but then things got bad.
Demon's, spirits, shapeshifters, striga's and many other supernatural things started to happen and Elle had to start prioritising her hunts.
It was as if all hell had broken loose and the apocalypse was dawning.
Elle's mother received a phone call from Bobby about the apocalypse and that it really was coming.
He told her about the seals being broken and the Winchester boys being the centre of it.
Her mother gasped in shock as she spoke on the phone with Bobby "Sam and Dean are at the centre of the rising of Lucifer" she stuttered.
Elle looked up from the book she was reading "who are they?" she asked curiously.
Her mother shook her head at her and continued talking to Bobby.
Elle bit her lip and looked at the clock.. 'time for work' she thought to herself and started to gather her things and headed out the door waving to her mother as she went.
That was months ago and her mother never mentioned the Winchesters again.
Her mother got a call from a woman called Ellen Harvelle and she had to leave, she was on a hunt, most likely with this Ellen woman and Elle was left at home to be bored and live her normal life.
Working at the diner and at the bar, going to college part time studying philosophy and religious studies.
The two go hand in hand according to the padre at the local church where Elle helped out with fund-raising and runs a support group for women who have escaped abusive partners.
She enjoys the philosophy but the Religious studies are abit of a taboo and she's got into many arguments regarding God and his big plans.
She almost forgets that people don't know about the apocalypse looming over head and she has to ease off for their dullard views of an ideal world where God has these plans and everybody will be saved when judgement day comes.
'If they only knew the truth they'd all be banging on the door at Saint Michael's screaming and repenting their sins' she thought as she sat at her desk during class.
Now as she stood at the window in her room looking out at the groups of people stumbling down the street going home from the bars and clubs she felt a sensation of disgust in her stomach.
'We save these people day after day and all they do is go get wankered and piss it up against a wall' she thought as she fell backwards onto her bed.
She had not heard from her mother in over a week and she was beginning to panic, was she alive, was she dead, was she being held hostage by some hell spawn?.
Elle climbed into bed and drifted into a restless sleep plagued with dreams and nightmares of what she could only explain as hell.
SOUTH DAKOTA..
Dean, Sam and Bobby all stood by the table in Bobby's study looking at a map and circling places with a red marker when there was a soft blast of air in the room.
"Hey Cas" Dean said without even turning to see who had come into the room.
"Actually it's me" said a young woman with red hair.
Dean spun around to see the woman and smiled cheekily "my bad, hello Anna looking terrific as ever" he said with a wide smile.
Anna just shook her head at Dean and looked over his shoulder at Sam who was still stood beside Bobby at the table.
The room was silent for a moment or two then Bobby broke the silence "who wants a beer?" he asked as he headed into the kitchen.
Dean and Sam both said they would but Anna just shook her head, she walked over to the table and glanced at the map curiously.
She saw all the red circles and looked at Dean "what's this?" she asked as she pointed to the map.
Dean paused and thought of the best way to explain the map.
Sam cleared his throat and looked at Anna "it's a map" he said.
Anna rolled her eyes and exhaled sharply "I can see that" she replied harshly.
Dean had an awkward expression on his face, he knew he shouldn't explain what the map was for because it was not his place to say.
Anna stared at him she was losing her patience with the man "Dean.... what is it for?" she demanded.
"It's my idea..." said a cool, calm serious voice from the door.
Anna turned around and was met by the steel blue stare of Castiel the angel who was protecting the Winchesters and who raised Dean from perdition.
Anna stared at him confused "why is it your idea... what is it?" she asked as she looked at it again.
Bobby came back into the room with beers "Oh great it's a full house now, I'm gonna install an angel flap and attatch bells to your holy ass necks" he said in his pissed off tone of voice.
He was beginning to get sick of walking out of a room only to walk back in and find angel's standing there. They never used door's or rung ahead they just showed up and it pissed the old hunter off.
"It marks all the places where angel's are... I wanna know where everybody is.. where all the angel's are that I can trust" Castiel said coolly.
Anna stared at him with a still face "am I on there" she asked politely.
Castiel nodded his head "yes you are on there, but I don't know if I can refer to you as an angel I trust" he said roughly.
Dean stared at the two angels "OK awkward..." he whipped as he necked his beer.
Dean glanced over at Anna and raised his brow "did you come for anything in particular or just to see my adorable face" he said in a joking tone.
Anna turned to Dean and nodded her head, her red hair hardly moved as she did this.
"Yes I am here for a reason, there has been a revelation" she said softly.
Dean sat down on the chair arm and put his feet up on the coffee table "wow another revelation, it's all revelation, revelation, revelation up there with the big guns.. maybe it should be made into a game show" Dean said in his usual cocky tone.
"People's lives are not a game show Dean" Anna snapped.
"Yeah your right, plus Zachariah would make a terrible host" retorted Dean.
Castiel stared at Anna with his emotionless deep eyes and then to Dean "what kind of revelation?" he asked sternly.
Anna looked down at her feet and leaned back on the table where the map was.
"Maybe Sam should sit down first" she said with concern.
Sam looked at the angel's and his eyes grew wide "why is it bad" he asked concern staining his voice.
Anna pointed to the couch and Sam sat down instantly, Anna took a deep breath.
Castiel moved closer to the Winchester's and waited for the revelation.
"You two are the core of this apocalypse" Anna began.
"Yep we kinda already knew that" Dean gushed.
Anna shot him a stern stare "Dean you are Michael's vessel".
"Yahtzee that's me.. I'm Michael's holy condom" Dean snorted.
"Sam you are Lucifer's chosen vessel" Anna said as she met Sam's stare.
"Well we'll see about that wont we" Sam replied sharply.
The room was silent, the tension was so thick it could have been cut with a tooth pick.
"Winchester blood is sacred for some reason, it's the source of the apocalypse and it can be used to make the armies stronger.. more invincible somehow, by using a Winchester this war could be swayed hell could win" Anna states sternly.
Dean and Sam both stared at her "well that's easy, both me and Sammy plan to fight for heaven and humanity.. so panic over neither of us are gonna sign up to be lucifer's general" Dean says coolly.
"Well even so it doesn't mean hell won't have a chance at swaying either of you.. you two need to know this.. you two are not alone.. you have a sibling" Anna said calmly.
Sam stared in shock at Anna the words somehow getting lost in his throat.
"Nah that was Adam.. he got murdered remember.. now unless lucifer wants to raise him and use him I think we are safe" Dean blasted from his place on the chair arm.
"Actually no... it's not Adam... you have a sister boys and she is what stands between us winning or losing this war" Anna said harshly.
Dean and Sam both stared at Anna with confusion and a hint of anger.
Dean jumped up from the chair arm and marched towards the angel "what? Run that by me again.. we have a sister and you dicks see her as a threat" he snapped.
Anna stepped back from Dean "I know it's a lot to take in but the sooner you come to a decision the better" she said softly.
"Decision.. what decision?" asked Sam a tone of anger in his voice.
"The decision to kill her.. either you do it or the angels do it" Anna replied before disappearing.
The Winchester's sat shocked from what they had just heard.
"I am really getting sick of those dicks with wings now, first they tell us we have a sister and then they go oh but by the way don't plan a family reunion because you must kill her.. it's nuts" roared Dean as he paced the floor.
Sam remained on the couch thinking "how many other kids do you think dad has littered across the country" he asked his brother.
Dean shook his head and slammed his hand down on the table "who the hell knows, maybe we should get the angels to find out and then we can have a firing line set up and take them all out in one go" Dean snarled.
Castiel remained silent, he just stared at the wall as he listened to the Winchester's.
Bobby slumped down onto the couch next to Sam, Dean shot a glare at him "did you know?" he snapped at the old hunter.
Bobby took a deep breath and placed his bottle down "no and if I did don't you think I'd have told you before now" he snapped back.
Sam sat staring at the floor his mind reeling making sense of the new found information.
"Why do the angel's want to have her killed?" he asked softly, his eye's going to Castiel looking for an explanation.
Dean's eye's then fell upon Castiel along with Bobby's.
The angel just stared back blankly "I have no idea" he replied in his emotionless voice.
"Bullshit" snarled Dean as he paced towards Castiel "find out you son of a bitch or you can kiss me helping the heavens goodbye" he growled as he headed out of the house into the yard.
Sam continued to stare at Castiel "at least find out her name and where she lives ok, we might have a chance of saving her" he said to the angel before he got up and went after his brother.
Three hours passed before Castiel returned by this time it was into the early hours and the Winchester's had fallen asleep.
Dean was sprawled across the couch clutching his cell phone in his hand.
Sam was asleep at the table, his laptop still on.
Castiel stood above Dean and stared down at him, he watched as the phone in Dean's hand slowly slipped to the floor as the phone bounced and clattered onto the hard wooden floor Dean and Sam both startled awake.
Dean saw Castiel infront of him and he snapped awake "what d'ya know" he said groggily.
Castiel looked to the phone on the floor, he heard Sam tapping away at the keys on his laptop.
"I have a name and a location but other than that I am in the dark as to why they want her dead, the angel's don't trust me to tell me and I have tried every source I have for information" Castiel said softly.
"Well tell us what you have and we can go" Said Dean as he climbed to his feet and fished for his car keys on the couch.
Castiel looked over Dean's shoulder observing "why do human's always have to search for things? Why can't they put them somewhere safe" he said almost blinding Dean with fury.
"Just tell me what you know Cas or I'm gonna be seriously pissed" Dean snarled as he glared at the angel.
"Her name is Eleanore Yates, she's 20 years old lives in Boston and she's a hunter" Castiel said powerfully.
Bobby overheard what Castiel had said and came charging into the living room "Elle... she's John's daughter" he choked through the shock.
"Yes.. you know her" Castiel asked.
Bobby shook his head, he didn't know Elle really but he knew her mother and he never thought in a million years that Elle would be John's daughter.
