Songs: I like to incorporated many song titles and lyrics into my stories because music is such a wonderful inspiration in general, but especially for my Supernatural fan-fiction and these songs just make me want to write so if you have the chance go ahead and listen to the songs or read the lyrics I'm using because it will help you understand my stories better.

Disclaimer: I have absolutely no rights to Supernatural, it belongs to Eric Kripke aka T-Bear. I just like to write stories using his characters.

Author's note: There is a lot of feminism and dark cynicism and humor in this particular fan-fiction series about the Harvelle women, so please don't be offended if there's a bit of male bashing, it's not meant to be taken too seriously but the torturing of women and children is serious throughout as I want to shed a light on issues of physical and sexual abuse that plagues our society.

Russian Roulette on a Vampire Weekend

On their first hunt ever together the two ladies head out to California to stop a new chauvinistic demon named Marques that has been enslaving female vampires and selling them on the black market like cattle.

Timeline: This story takes place about two months after the events in All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2.

Chapter 1: Russian Roulette [Русская Pулетка]

Scene: A bar in Tampa Bay, Florida

Ellen Harvelle walks into the bar and spots her daughter serving drinks to patrons from behind the counter.

Ellen: "Well as I live and breathe, this place really is a dump."

Jo looks up to see her mother approaching and is instantly surprised to see her as this is the first time Ellen has come to visit her since she left home.

Jo: "What are you doing here?"

Ellen: "It's a bar isn't it well what do you think I'm here for a drink."

Jo stares at her mom irritated because she knows that her mother can't be here for just a drink and she quickly begins to fear the worst.

Jo thinks to herself she must want something probably thinks she can talk me in to coming home, well she can't just forget it, no way am I ever going back. There is no place to go back to anyway now that the Roadhouse has been destroyed. That was our home I loved that place its hard to believe I will never see it again.

Jo feels herself tearing up at the thought of her good friend Ash being killed in there, but she holds back the tears no wanting to alarm her mother or appear too fragile.

Ellen removes her cocoa brown suede jacket, lies it down on a bar stool next to counter and sits down on top of it.

Ellen: "I'll have a Black Russian, no ice please."

Jo sighs slightly before turning around to fix her mother a drink.

Jo hands Ellen her drink then folds her arms in anticipation of bad news.

Ellen drinks it down in one long shallow.

Jo: "Mama, I'm working here, I really don't have time to talk just tell me why you're really here so I can get back to work."

Ellen: "Well just thought you should know Sam Winchester died."

Jo stares at her mother in shock; she can't help it now a few tears finally begin to fall from her eyes, but she wipes them away quickly.

First Ash, and now Sam, what is happening? Oh, but what about Dean? I have to ask oh please God let him still be alive.

Jo takes a deep breath.

Jo: "Is Dean?"

Ellen interrupts

Ellen: "Oh no he's alive well for now anyway, actually so is Sam."

Jo suddenly feels confused and a bit angry can my mother really be cruel enough to joke about Sam's death like this. Ellen can tell what Jo's thinking just by the look on her face.

Ellen: "Oh don't look at me like that I didn't kill him, some damn demonic kid did he almost got me too, but then you'd know that if you weren't down here serving drinks to dirty politicians and their hookers."

Jo folds her arms again mad as a snake now.

Jo: "Hey, I am doing the best I can here! I'm just trying to save up enough money, so I can hit the road and get back to hunting again and I don't need you coming in here criticizing my life and telling me folks are dead then telling me they're not!"

Ellen: "Well Dean made a deal so Sam's alive now, but for how long is anybody's guess."

Jo looks at Ellen even more confused and worried.

Jo: "A deal? You don't mean like the one John made for Dean?"

Ellen nods and puts her glass out for Jo to make her another drink.

Jo takes it and quickly fixes her another one.

Ellen: "Yeah, the boy's can sometimes be just as dumb as his daddy, but hey that's what family's for right, he made a crossroad deal to get Sam back and they are both alive for now so that's what matters."

Jo: "Well we got to help them then; we can't let some crossroad demon take Dean's soul and send him to hell!"

Ellen: "Bobby's got it covered; we've got bigger fish to fry young lady."

Jo stares at her mother in shock; Jo thinks to herself what could possibly be more important than helping the Winchesters at a time like this.

Jo: "I don't get it, what fish?"

Ellen reaches into her jacket and pulls out a newspaper clipping then slides it on the counter to Jo. Jo takes it and reads it studying the material closely.

Jo: "Marques Kozlov, who's this guy?"

Ellen: "Well he was a pretty notorious Russian gangster in the 1980s".

Jo: "This is an obituary, so the guy's dead?"

Ellen nods and takes another swig of her second Black Russian.

Ellen: "He died after the CIA caught him for kidnapping and killing top American business executives working in Russia."

Jo: "Okay, so how is this you know our thing?"

Ellen: "Because he's got a pretty nasty demon wearing his meat suit now so we need to track him down and stop him."

Jo glances at the clipping again then back at her mom then she folds her arms again.

Jo: "Mom, I thought you didn't want me hunting? Now you want to go after some demon together."

Ellen sighs then looks back up into her daughter's eyes.

Ellen: "Look, I'm not saying I like it, I swore I gave up hunting when you were born girly just couldn't risk it protecting you became my number one priority and after your father died well then it really seemed out of the question. All we have is each other Jo and now things have gotten bad, really bad. We let them opened the gate Jo, the gate to hell."

Jo: "What! Are you serious?"

Ellen: "Yeah and only God knows how many damn demons and creatures we let escape so we got to track every one of those son of bitches down Jo, as many as possible find them and kill them. Sam and Dean they are a big part of this too, but their not the only game in town and they can't be everywhere at once. You want to help them Jo then help me stop Marques before it gets any worse."

Jo looks at Ellen and finally smiles. Jo quickly takes off her apron, and grabs her jacket and some money from the tip jar on the counter by the door to the kitchen. She opens the kitchen door and yells to the owner of the bar who's in the kitchen.

Jo: "Hey Clifford! I Quit!"

Jo puts on her jacket and walks over to her mom. Ellen takes one last swig of her drink, puts her jacket back on and they both walk out of there for good.

Scene: Parking Lot outside The Bar.

Ellen starts walking over to a brand new Black Escalade and press the button on her key ring to unlock the doors.

Jo: "What the hell? Mom when did you get this car?"

Ellen: "Stole it from some son of a bitch demon who tried to kill me on the way out here to see you."

Jo chuckles.

Jo: "Nice! Can I drive?"

Ellen: "No."

Jo: "Mom!"

Ellen: "You can drive when you've finally killed your first demon, till them I'm in running the show and I'm driving so let's go we've got a lot of ground to cover."

Jo rolls her eyes and gets in on the passenger side. Jo enjoys the nice leather seats right away.

Jo: "Don't you think this is a bit over the top, I mean the Impala is bad enough, but we'll definitely be spotted in this big flashy thing, damn it's even got televisions in the headrests."

Ellen: "It's perfect we'll fit right in where we're going."

Jo: "Where's that?"

Ellen just smiles at Jo but doesn't respond, she starts the car the radio plays Treat Me Right by Pat Benatar and they head off for their first hunt.

Scene: Los Angeles, California. Six days later.

Ellen and Jo arrive outside of the Beverly Hills Hotel

Jo gets out of the car and puts on her sunglasses then shuts the door.

Jo: "Uh mom, are you sure this is the right place? It is a bit more upscale then our usual digs, you sure we can afford it?"

Ellen: "Of course we can, because we aren't paying for it."

Jo raises her eyebrows.

Jo: "Then who is?"

Ellen: "An old friend, ya'll meet him tonight he's very familiar with who's who here in L.A."

Jo: "An old friend I thought I'd met all your old hunting buddies by now?

Ellen: "Well you haven't met Dmitri he's not the usual hunter type."

Jo studies her mother's face she can tell there's more to her mother's past then she ever realized and wonders what more Ellen has not told her yet.

Jo: "So what else do we know about this Marques demon?"

Ellen: "That he's a big player in town and that he's runs a night club down on the Boulevard we'll go there tonight and Dmitri will fill us in on the details."

Jo and Ellen head for the lobby pick up their key then head for their room.

Scene: Room 702

Ellen takes a quick glance around the room.

Ellen: "Well this is pretty nice digs huh?"

Jo smiles and throws her bag on the bed closest to the window.

Jo: "Well done mother this is the fanciest place we've ever stayed, so what other surprises does your friend have for us?"

Ellen: "Plenty I'm sure with Dmitri anything's possible. Now let's go over the game plan again."

Jo rolls her eyes.

Jo: "We already went over it like fifteen times in the car, I'm ready."

Ellen gives her daughter a very serious look. Jo sighs and pulls out a book full of notes Ellen gave her on how this hunt is suppose to go.

Jo: "Number one, always follow the plan no exceptions or deviations, number two, never discuss the plan out loud in case the place has been bugged, but always remember the plan, finally number three always call Bobby first as Plan B if we can't get him then get out of dodge because something is seriously wrong. There I read it again, happy?"

Ellen nods and goes into the bathroom to get washed up and ready for the hitting the club later on.

Jo: "Mom, I'm going to call Dean."

Ellen: "No you're not!"

Jo frowns sadly and walks over to the bathroom door.

Jo: "Come on, I just want to see if he's okay."

Ellen: "He's fine, he's with Sam leave the boy be Jo."

Jo: "Look, I know he's a Winchester and I know what happen with dad and John but."

Ellen interrupts her as she gets undressed in the bathroom to take her shower.

Ellen: " Baby, you don't know the half of it, now listen here the Winchester boys are darling I give them credit for being fine hunters and for saving your ass in Philadelphia, but I am not about to get involved with hunting with them anytime soon. They're not ready for us yet and we're not ready either. Things are going to get worse before they get better and it's best we all stay apart, keep our distance that way nothing we let out of the gate can get to us all at once I've already discussed this with the boys before I left so they understand not to contact us directly only through Bobby got that!."

Jo nods sadly and walks back over to her bed.

Mom's probably right, its too dangerous for us to all be together right now it's just I wish I could hear their voices make sure for myself their okay, Dean is always hiding something from me though so it is hard to know what he's really thinking. I can't imagine how he must be dealing with everything now that the yellow eyed demon is dead. I suppose if he really wanted to talk to me, he call me, and he hasn't. It's not worth getting upset over, he's not the only hunter out there I bet there are plenty right here in Los Angeles, of course big city men have never really been my thing, but who knows who or what I might meet hanging at the.

Jo: "Hey mom what was the name of that club again?"

Ellen yells from inside the shower.

Ellen: "The Russian Roulette!"

Scene: Inside the Russian Roulette. The walls are covered in black chains; the club used to be a meatpacking plant, but has been converted. The VIP room has padded gray walls and red fake blood stains the floors and walls. The center piece of the dance floor is a huge beating heart with light shining through from the center of it the speakers surround sound is blasting a techno remix of Disturbia by Rihanna. In the center of the dance floor are four twelve foot tall cages inside each is two sexy half-naked dancers in black and red leotards dancing. They are chained up by the waste, but their arms, legs and feet are free for them to dance around within the cage or even climb up on the cage and hang from the top like bats.

Ellen is dressed in her full hunter attire, dark denim jeans, a bullet proof vest under two t-shirts and one long sleeved white button down top with her cocoa brown suede jacket and steel toed brown boots. Jo is wearing black denim jeans with a bullet proof vest under her REO Speedwagon T-shirt and green military style jacket.

The bartender: "What will you ladies like to drink?"

Ellen: "I'll have a Black Russian and my daughter here will have a cherry soda."

Jo: "Mom!"

Jo speaks directly to the bartender ignoring her mother's request

Jo: "I'll have a beer thanks."

The bartender nods.

Ellen: "One of us has to drive home?"

Jo: "Well you're the driver I'm shotgun remember?"

Ellen rolls her eyes

Ellen: "Fine, I'll ask Dmitri to take us home I know he's around here somewhere."

Ellen and Jo comb the bar with their eyes as they await their drinks.

Jo: "Is that him over there?"

Jo points at a tall slender guy up on the DJ booth talking to the DJ, he has long dark blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, several rings on his fingers and he's wearing a very expensive looking Armani black suit with white collard shirt and no tie, he's got on red gator print shoes.

The man sees them sitting by the bar looking at him and comes down from the booth.

Ellen smiles

Ellen: "Dmitri, get your crazy ass over here!"

Dmitri laughs and claps his hands as he rushes over to greet them. He gives Ellen a big bear hug when he arrives. Dmitri finally speaks and Jo notices he has a slight Russian accent.

Dmitri: "Ellen, it's so good to see you."

Dmitri smiles and squeezes her tight, maybe a bit too tight Jo wonders.

Dmitri: "Wow, you haven't changed a bit, just as fine as you want to be. Let me guess what are you now 25?"

Ellen: "And you're still full of it as always."

Ellen playfully slaps Dmitri on the shoulder.

Dmitri: "Now who is this lovely young lady, you're sister?"

Ellen groans a little at that remark, but tries to smile anyway.

Ellen thinks to herself great, now everyone is going to think we're sisters he'll tell the whole world that though it's far from the truth, he's such a flirt.

Ellen: "This here is my daughter Jo. Jo this is Dmitri Mayer."

Dmitri takes Jo by the hand and kisses it softly.

Dmitri: "No, this can't be your daughter, why I remember when you were only three years old, you were just a little Manbiw now look at you so grown up."

Jo smiles

Jo: Yeah, uh nice to meet you again then I guess, so what can you tell us about this demon Marques?

Dmitri freezes for a moment surprised that Jo is already ready to get straight to business.

Dmitri looks around a bit nervous not wanting to discuss this in public.

Dmitri: "She's a feisty one isn't she?"

Ellen: "Oh yeah, so come on spill it where's Marques?"

Dmitri: "Let's go upstairs to the VIP room it's a bit more private and we can continue this conversation."

Dmitri holds out his arm ushering them in that direction.

Ellen: "Very well."

Ellen grabs her drink and Jo grabs her beer.

Ellen follows Dmitri, but as Jo turns around away from the bar she bumps into some guy and spill her beer on him.

Jo: "Damn it sorry about that."

The stranger: "No, my apologies miss, I should have step back I just couldn't stop watching you."

Jo immediately becomes alarmed why is this handsome stranger watching me she wonders could he be Marques.

Jo: "Excuse me?"

The stranger: "I don't mean to frighten you, but I noticed you the moment you walked in here, you aren't from around here are you?"

Jo: "No, why? Where are you from?"

The stranger: "I travel around a lot, but I'm originally from Kansas City."

Jo smiles: "Really, yeah I'm from the Midwest too just on vacation visiting a friend. Do you know Dmitri?"

The stranger: "Oh yes, he and I are acquainted he doesn't like me much though."

Jo frowns slightly.

Jo: "Why is that?"

The stranger: "It could be because I'm a vampire that bothers some people."

Jo immediately gets ready for hunter battle mode. She reaches for her knife in her back pocket.

The stranger: "I wouldn't do that if I were you, there are several vampires in here all around us actually it might get them a tad riled up if you try and kill me in their club hunter."

Jo glares at him.

Jo: "How do you know I'm a hunter?"

The vampire: "Well, you said you're a friend of Dmitri and he's a hunter so it seemed logical."

Jo: "Just back off then dude, cause I'm not alone either and my mother will get more than a tad riled up if you try anything vampire!"

The vampire: "Please, I mean you no harm I just want to ask if you would like to dance?"

Jo: "You can't be serious?"

The vampire: "I am. You can dance can't you?"

Jo: "I don't usually dance with dead guys or chat up vampires."

The vampire: "Then you really ought to give it a try we're not all as bad as you hunters think."

The vampire holds out his hand to Jo.

Jo: "My mother and Dmitri are waiting for me I got to go."

The vampire: "Okay Jo, you go have your meeting about Marques I'll just wait here till you are

done and perhaps in a better mood."

Jo: "How do you know all this?"

The vampire points at his ear because being a vampire gives him power to hear much better than normal humans can even better than dogs. .

The vampire: "I'm a good listener, I'm also a pretty good dancer if I do say so myself I have an ear for music at least. "

Jo nods and steps away from him quickly as she heads towards the stairs still holding her knife just in case one of these vampires tries to attack.

The vampire sexily smirks at her as she leaves.

The vampire: "See you soon Jo."

Jo stares at him looking very worried and also afraid about the other people in the room who she now fears any of them could be a creature, a vampire, a demon she knows she'll have to stay alert and she can already feel her fingers and toes tingling as they always do when she is ready to strike..

Jo makes her way up the stairs and into the VIP area.

The bouncer at the top of the stairs stops her from entering and puts his hand on her shoulder.

The bouncer: "Where's your pass bitch?"

Jo doesn't speak she quickly kicks him in the balls really hard. The bouncer groans in pain.

The bouncer: "Okay you can go in."

Jo walks in quickly and searches for her mom and Dmitri, she finds them sitting at a small booth in the corner away from the other VIP guests.

Jo sits down next to her mother and Dmitri is sitting across from them.

Dmitri: "Did you get lost young lady?"

Jo: "No, a vampire just asked me to dance."

Ellen stares at Jo completely surprised.

Jo: "I said no of course, but this place is crawling with them."

Dmitri: "Oh that must have been Dorian. He probably spotted you the moment you got here he has an eye for pretty women, especially the human variety."

Jo: Dorian really well what is he doing in your club?

Dmitri: This isn't my club, I just work here, this club belongs to Marques and many vampires work under him, in fact that was just what I was telling your mother these vamps are practically his slaves.

Ellen looks worried as she looks over Jo carefully

Ellen: "He didn't try and hurt you did he Jo?"

Jo shakes her head.

Ellen: "Why do you tell us to meet you here if you knew there would be vampires Dmitri?"

Dmitri: "I wanted you to see for yourself, there's a lot going on here an entire black market of goods constantly for sale."

Ellen: "What are they selling?"

Dmitri: "Vampires, girls mostly, but some men too?"

Ellen: "Wait so this is some kind of whorehouse?"

Dmitri shakes his head.

Dmitri: No, not exactly it's a club for people and demons to purchase vampires.

Ellen and Jo look horrified as they stare at him.

Dmitri: You see vampires have been on the run for centuries now. Feeding off humans is difficult when we outnumber them by practically 5 billion people and they know how fascinate people are about vampires especially here in America so many have been flocking here for food and shelter. They know something big is happening soon, but they don't know exactly what. So the demons have been scooping up vampires lately and using them for their dirty errands low rate fangs for hire mostly, but some are sex slaves of course while others like Dorian well they fetch a much higher price for their special talents.

Jo: "Why, what talent does he have?"

Dmitri: "He specializes in witchcraft as well as demon slaying. He's killed several demons in fact even some high level ones and he really enjoys the work, but he's a loose cannon. He can't always control himself and sometimes he kills humans who get in his way. I would kill him myself, but he's pretty smart for a vampire and he has a lot of friends working here. He's always on the lookout for hunters and I haven't seen what yet go up against him and come out alive. He never attacks them though unless they come after him first so he figures its self defense, it's like he tries to behave as human as possible, and doesn't really like his own kind or supernatural creatures at all. He eve refuses to drink people instead prefers to stick to the blood banks for his supply. I swear he wishes he was still human and not a filthy vamp."

Ellen: "But, why would he want to kill a demon?"

Dmitri: " The supernatural world isn't that much different from our own, there are different races and they don't all get along some creatures are treated with more privileges than others vampires aren't very high up, demons treat them like slaves and that doesn't always go over so well with vampires who want their freedom and think they deserve more privileges. It's basically a race war going on right under our noses."

Ellen: "So why should we get involved here, why not let them both kill each other off?"

Dmitri: Because now that Marques is here, he's been buying up male vampires as mercenaries using them to turn pretty young California girls into vampires then selling these girls on the black market mostly as sex slaves to rich people who are stupid and arrogant enough to believe they can own a vampire like they can be damn pets or something. It's a disgusting business and it makes quite a lot of money, there are lots of demons and many humans who love to purchase one and use them as a slave since they are so strong and well last a lifetime and longer they can even past the vampire down to their children if they want too. Marques is running this whole operation and plans to branch out with clubs all across the country, he's even got support by some celebrities and politicians who all want a piece of the pie."

Ellen wrinkles her nose

Ellen: "That's sick."

Jo nods in agreement.

Jo: "So how do we stop him?"

Ellen: "Where is he?"

Dmitri: "He's over there."

Ellen and Jo look over past the glass wall in front of them and they can see a big tall Russian man looking roughly 50 with dark black hair and dark brown eyes though not totally black right now. The man is surrounded by several male body guards who the ladies now assume must be vampires and maybe some lower level demons. He has two beautiful sexy women sitting on either side one with red hair and one with dark brown hair. Marques seems mostly interested in the dark brown hair girl who seems to be do all the talking they both caress his legs as they chat together, but from this distance they can't hear their conversation over the loud music.

Ellen: "Dmitri we can't hear them, but they can probably hear us if their vampires."

Dmitri: "No, see that glass separating us is sound proof. I built it myself with their money."

Ellen: "Why does Marques even let you work in his club?"

Dmitri: "Because I'm a great manager that's why and I'm a great salesmen too, I sale a lot of his girls for him at the vampire weekend auctions. He doesn't know I'm a hunter he thinks I'm just in it for the money."

Ellen stares horrified and angry.

Ellen: "How the hell can you do that for him you should have just exorcised the asshole?"

Dmitri: "I don't have a choice sweetheart, I had to get in somehow I had to convince them all I was just in it for the money, so they won't catch up to my plan to take them all down not just Marques exorcising one demon isn't enough I plan to see that the entire vampire slave trade business is shut down for good before it spreads any further."

Jo: "And how do you plan to do that?"

Dmitri: "With your help. I need you too pretend to be vampires and I'll get you in close to hook up with Marques in private. He loves fucking vamps. Once you're alone with him you can say the exorcism and vanquish the basterd back to hell then I have a spell that will make me look like I'm him long enough to get in touch with his supporters and have this whole thing stopped from the inside. They only trust Marques with their money cause he's been profitable once I take over I'll make sure all their money disappears and the vampires are slaughtered I've got buddies on standby waiting to come in to cut them down. Once the money's gone the humans involved will cut and run before the vampires they've enslaved kill them themselves for treating them so badly all this time. I figured that'll scare them out of the business for good, they have no business messing with the supernatural for profit anyway, it will only get these morons killed later."

Jo: "Pretend to be vampires? How the hell are we supposed to do that?"

Dmitri: "There's a spell we can use it and it will temporarily give you the appearance and power of a vampire, but its pretty tricky spell to get right and if you drink too much or too little it could either not work or turn you into one permanently."

Ellen: "I'll do it then, but not Jo."

Jo: "Mom, I can handle it."

Ellen: "No, it's too dangerous I won't risk you like that, besides in case things go south you still can at least level the places with the explosives we brought and kill most of the vamps that way while Dmitri exorcises Marques. Dmitri your friends can be responsible for getting the humans in the building out safely if we have to go to plan b.

Dmitri nods.

Dmitri: "That shouldn't be too difficult, there aren't many other humans who work here and those that come to purchase only come on the weekends and I'm hoping to get this all over with by Friday."

Jo: "Mom, I think I'm the better choice to take the potion, look at those girls over there, I'm probably more Marques type and I can get close to him and exorcise him while you help Dmitri."

Ellen: "What are you saying Jo that I'm too old?"

Jo frowns awkwardly

Jo: "No. I."

Ellen sighs and interrupts her before she can continue.

Ellen: "Alright Jo, you want to do this so badly fine; this can be your first demon kill. Take the potion, but you sure as shit better mix it right I better not end up with a vampire for a daughter cause you know I will kill you."

Jo nods and smiles.

Jo: "Don't worry I'll take care of it I can do this you'll see. Now I'm going back downstairs to talk to Dorian."

Ellen: "What! But why?"

Jo: "He's a vampire that won't eat me, I need to be around them learn how they behave, their mannerisms so I can blend in really well its only way Marques will fall for me."

Ellen: "Dmitri will go with you."

Jo: "Will you stop! I'm not a baby; I won't let things get out of control okay. I'm just going to talk to him maybe dance a little that's it just so I can get a better idea of what being a vampire is like."

Jo gets up and walks away from the booth.

Ellen looks at Dmitri with a worried expression.

Dmitri: "Don't worry sweetheart, I won't let anything happen to Jo, I'll put my two best guys on it; they'll watch her make sure Dorian doesn't try anything."

Ellen nods glad Dmitri is still such a caring guy and she knows she can trust him, but she's still can't help worrying about Jo's safety. Dmitri gets up from the booth kisses Ellen's hand once more and goes to talk to his two bouncers about Jo.

Ellen thinks to herself: Jo thinks she's so grown up now, thinks she can handle it all, she's so young, she still has a lot to learn and I'm plan on making sure she's alive long enough to learn it. I hate the idea of her hanging with vampires they are total trash, why if Bill were alive he'd die just at the thought of it. But, I have to let her try if she wants to be a hunter she's got to get use to being undercover a lot anyway. At least she's with me and not those Winchester boys like in Philadelphia. I know they mean well, but they are always getting into the worse sort of trouble, Sam just died and now Dean's headed that way so I can't have them near my daughter, its like death follows them around its unfortunate, but hey that's how it goes. I hope they are alright, I'm going to call Bobby tomorrow just to check in, it's the least I can do I mean they may not be my sons, but they are good boys and I can't help mothering them a bit too they already lost their own mother, they really could use one I wish I could be there for them but it's just too dangerous and I have to make sure Jo's alright.

Scene: Downstairs by the dance floor

Jo taps Dorian on the back of the shoulder, he turns around to her.

Jo: "So Dorian, you want to buy me a drink and talk?"

Dorian smiles at her and licks his lips a bit as he looks at her.

Dorian: "Of course."

Dorian turns to the vampire waitress standing not to far from him.

Dorian: "Get the young lady here a Black Russian."

Jo: "Make it a Red."

Dorian smirks

The vampire waitress goes off to the bar to order Jo her drink.

Jo: "You vampires like red don't you?"

Dorian: "Most do, I prefer blondes personally."

Jo smirks ready to play this little flirtatious game with him as long as she wins.

Jo: "So tell me Dorian have you been a vampire long or is this a new gig?"

Dorian: "Oh I became a vampire right before the war?"

Jo: "Which one?"

Dorian: "The First World War."

Jo looks Dorian up and down checking him out. Dorian is got spiky dark hair and pretty bright blue eyes, he's really tall Jo estimates about as tall as Sam at least, but he looks more like his brother Dean, with a strong jar and muscular shoulders. He's wearing dark denim jeans; a crisp solid blue collared shirt that Jo notices brings out his eyes and a vintage looking trendy black leather jacket, with army style boots.

Jo: "You don't look half bad for a vampire that old."

Dorian: "Thank you. I like to keep up with the times, stay in fashion so to speak that's why I noticed you. I always notice the young ones that come in here they help keep me in tune with what's next."

Jo: "So what's next?"

Dorian: "We dance."

Jo smiles at him and this time she takes Dorian's hand and lets him lead her to the dance floor.

Dorian wraps his arms around Jo from behind and moves in close rocking his body along with the music slowly.

Jo follows his lead rocking side to side with him caressing his arms as they dance.

Jo: "Look, I know all about you, I know you kill demons."

Dorian continues to rock behind her rubbing his hands on her denim covered thighs as they move in unison.

Dorian: "Well so do you hunter, I guess we really do have a something in common."

Jo: "How do you feel about the demon that runs this club Marques?"

Dorian: "He's a complete douche why?"

Jo smiles and rocks a bit faster.

Jo: "Would you like to help me kill him then?"

Dorian: "You want to kill Marques?"

Jo: "Yes."

Dorian: "Then I want to kill him for you."

Jo pulls away and turns to look at Dorian.

Jo: "This isn't just a game vampire, let's get a few things straight, I don't really trust you, and I don't like you, so I'm in charge of this operation is that clear."

Dorian smiles.

Dorian: "I like you. You remind me of an on old crush I use to have on a girl back in the late 80s, you have her spirit. Though I got say you are a much better dancer uh."

Dorian pauses not sure of what to call her

Jo: "The name is Jo Harvelle."

Dorian raises his eyebrows

Dorian: "Jo, that's a boy's name."

Jo: "No, it's my name."

Dorian: "I'm going to call you Johanna it's much prettier."

Jo rolls her eyes.

Jo: "Hey who's in charge here?"

Dorian: "You are Miss Johanna. Of course you are."

Dorian smirks and licks his lips again at her.

Jo: "So tell me what it is like being a vampire?"

Dorian pulls Jo in close again and shows her his fangs.

Jo is a bit startled but doesn't pull away just yet.

Dorian: "Well if you really want to know, I can show you."

Dorian opens his mouths and lets Jo see his fangs come out a bit.

Jo: "No, thanks you keep those choppers to yourself, I just want a bit of detail for example, where do you and your fellow vampire friends live?"

Dorian: "Now why would I tell a hunter where we live?"

Jo smiles and she looks him directly in the eyes.

Jo: "Because I'm in charge."

Dorian: "Oh well in that case I live to serve you Johanna."

Jo: "My name is Jo. And I am serious tell me if you don't I'll find it myself. I'm a hunter that's what I do so you might has well make it easy on yourself then maybe we won't kill you."

Dorian: "You hunters always want to kill something because its different from you reminds me of demons."

Jo: "I'm not a demon I can assure you."

Dorian: "No, you're not; you're way too cute to be a demon. Demons are much sexier and smarter."

Jo pulls away both angry and insulted

Jo: "Oh really is that so, you have no idea how sexy or brilliant I can be vampire. And I thought you hated demons or is that just another lie?"

Dorian: "I haven't lied to you. I'm being totally honest. I hate demons that destroyed my family, and truth is I miss my life before this, before I became what you see before you. People think I'm such a monster, well I've never seen more cruelty then that of demons. I am a vampire yes, but I never wanted to be, I never made a deal or drank any blood. I was cursed by a witch. She made me who I am and I killed her for it. She taught me a lot first though, a lot about witchcraft. I'm guessing you plan to go after Marques yourself, by posing as a vampire is that it?"

Jo nods.

Dorian: "Well then, if you want to be able to act like a vampire, you have to first develop a taste for human blood."

Jo looks at him with disgust.

The vampire waitress arrives with a platter carrying her drink, it's suppose to be a red Russian but it's actually a shot glass filled with human blood.

Dorian takes the glass and smells it.

Dorian: "Type A. try it is delicious."

Jo: "Hell no. that is disgusting!"

Dorian frowns

Dorian: "Oh I'm sorry I thought you were really serious about learning something about being a vampire, if not then you should go because Marques will tear you apart he can smell a human coming a mile away."

Jo stares at the glass nervous and afraid, but she can't let this vampire run her off.

Jo: "Fine give it to me."

Dorian hands her the glass

Jo holds her nose and quickly shallows the blood. Jo tries to keep from gagging it up and stick her bloody tongue out totally grossed out by the taste of it.

Dorian: "Now that's sexy."

Jo: "You're a freak!"

Dorian: "No, I'm a vampire; that's what we do, but you're a human drinking blood that's freaky."

Dorian laughs. Jo doesn't quite know how to respond to that.

Dorian: "Would you care for another glass?"

Jo: "No, I'll pass thanks!"

Dorian orders two blood vials just for himself and the waitress leaves to get his order.

Dorian takes Jo back into his arms and begins dancing with her again.

Jo: "So you miss being human?"

Dorian nods

Dorian: "Very much, but I've come to the conclusion that if I can't be human myself the next best thing is being with one."

Jo: "Well look, I've got a boyfriend okay."

Dorian: "Is he a vampire?"

Jo: "Of course not!"

Dorian: "Then I'll be your vampire boyfriend."

Jo: "You just don't let up do you?"

Dorian: "I don't have to its part of the one perk of being what I am."

Jo: "I thought that your extra hearing and better vision is the perk plus the whole living forever thing."

Dorian: "Well being able to hear and see the world better isn't always fun, it gives you a sharp sense of how things really are and it isn't pretty the world is totally fucked up place. I would die the next day if it meant I couldn't spend just one more day as a human again, to feel really alive and breathe again to have people not be afraid of me for a change. I spend the whole day out on the beach I'd get a tan; make love to a pretty girl hopefully one as beautiful as you. Have someone to pass on my legacy, my name, yes if I could do that why I died and be truly happy about it. But, there is no going back and like I said this is a messed up world."

Jo: "Well I intend to make the world a little better for as long as I can."

Dorian squeezes Jo in closer and smiles.

Dorian: "That is just adorable."

Dorian laughs again and his fangs disappear.

Jo: "Don't patronize me."

Dorian: "I would never. I told you I like you Johanna."

Jo: "Why because I'm blonde and I have a pulse?"

Dorian smiles at her

Dorian: "No, because you remind me of how sweet and naïve my humanity used to be when I was a boy. I remember thinking I could make the world a better place too, and then."

Dorian pauses and slightly frowns remembering the horrible circumstances that made him what he is.

Jo: "What?"

Dorian: "You must come back to my place I need to show you something."

Jo laughs

Jo: "What are you smoking? My mother would kill me if I did, that is if you didn't try to do it first."

Dorian frowns sadly

Dorian: "I would never try and hurt you Jo."

Jo: "Yeah right? Tell me how many humans have you killed so far Dorian?"

Dorian thinks for a moment

Dorian: "Somewhere in the high 200s I try not to keep count it depresses me. But, I've slept with far more than I've killed at least 500. I've also never killed anyone that I have been intimate with, so that should make you feel safe."

Jo frowns nervously

Jo: "Well it doesn't because there is no way on earth I'm sleeping with a vampire."

Dorian: "And there is no way I'm going to kill you Johanna; I like you far too much."

Jo: "Look, I have to go my mom is waiting for me."

Dorian: "Tell her that you both can meet me at Sunset Boulevard tomorrow night at 11 o'clock. Bring as much weaponry as you want if it will make you feel safer. Just come and I'll show you where I live, I really want to show you what life as a vampire is like so you can get to know me better and so you'll be prepared to go after Marques if that's what you want."

Jo studies Dorian's face and feels as though he is being sincere, but she still is wary of him.

Jo: "We'll see maybe, but look I really got to go now."

Dorian bows politely and kisses her hand like a classic gentleman.

Dorian: "Until we meet again Johanna."

Jo smiles then backs away and goes off to find Ellen again so they can leave the Russian Roulette.
