Chapter one ( 3 years earlier )
(This ain't a love song~ Bon Jovi)
I remember a time when my life was simple and uncomplicated, I spoke to spirits and helped people contact there loved ones, I was called a medium.
Yes , Ghosts were around ,every where , after all that was my gift , my job, werewolves and vampires were myths , Things horror films were made of , If only I'd known then just how much my world would change.
I sit here alone in this diner waiting, It seemed like a lifetime ago that , that other , simpler world existed , it had been 10 years since, and how you change in 10 years, I carry knives and guns now, A silver flask travels at my side filled with holly water, I still see the dead and more now , I also have visions , sometimes flashes of what is about to be , sometimes just feelings, very strong feelings. sometimes they come in my sleep sometimes it's from the touch of another person , sometimes I view what's about to be or what has already happened there is no regularity to what I see and when , it just happens .
I used to be afraid , but no longer, now it's a part of me and I've grown to accept them, I can't change them they are me, who I am now.
My thoughts return again to the diner , I have a hot cup of coffee sitting staring at me waiting to be drunk, The place is over flowing with people it's a friday night and Sioux falls in south dekota is alive .
I want to eat ,but if I order I probably won't get time to even take a bite out of whatever it is , so here I sit and wait glancing from time to time out of the window, I check my watch again for about the hundredth time, 22:42, They're late!, I'm sure they said 22:30 , I check my duffle bag again, yep shot gun, salt,stakes,spare holy water, I hear a rumble, it's a very familiar sound , I collect up my bag and swig the last of the coffee down, throw a few pieces of change on the table and head out to the parking lot.
The shinny black Impala roars up beside me , stopping perfectly by my side allowing me to open the rear passenger door, I climb in,
"You guys are late" I say as I dump my bag onto the spare seat beside me, In front of me is Sam Winchester a tall handsome hunter, He's brother Dean Is driving, He is the elder of the two and equally as good looking he glances over his shoulder and throws me a stare that says screw you lady, Dean was a lot like me , so much so that he hide his true feelings deep inside Anger and pain if allowed to surface would make him an extremely dangerous man, we'd learned to push our feelings deep inside, Sam was softer I'm certain he hated being a hunter but carries on.
I've been travelling with the boys on and off for the last 4 years ,when ever I or they needed an extra person we were there for each other, booby's death had brought us to this we all watched each others backs.
A hunters life is a lonely life, so being able to partner someone or hook up with other hunters is a bonus at times ,
We sit in silence as Dean roars the Impala ever nearer our destination, I glanced at my watch again 23:14 just another 15 minutes and we'll be there , then the action would begin,Boy was I hungry , I rummaged about inside my duffle bag and pulled out an apple , Sam turned and looked at me with a questioning gaze,
"What!" I exclaimed " 10 hours ago I last ate, I need something in me,Don't want my grumbling stomach alerting the bad guys now ,they'll hear me a mile off other wise " He smiled , he was cute when he smiled , I smiled back, Dean just carried on driving showing no emotion at all, oh yes he could be like this too,especially with me,
We turned the last bend and the old eerie big house laid out in front of us it was dark and intimidating , The Impala ground to a halt Dean killed the engine and we climbed out ,
Dean and Sam moved to the trunk of the car opening it revealing an aray of armoury they knew exactly what they wanted and had armed themselves within a few seconds , I had already taken what I needed from my bag, we moved closer to the house , I felt very uneasy with every step I took . I stopped , The feeling of being watched was very strong and extremely un-nerving , Dean stopped too and turned around to me , this in turn made Sam stop in his tracks, " You ok?" Dean spoke with a concerned tone in his voice, I didn't normally get this from Dean " There's defiantly something in there , It's watching us and it's evil, very evil"
"That's good, Means we've not been wasting our time," He turned back towards the house and continued up the stairs and into the house, The big old wooden door wasn't locked and we just walked right on in, My senses went berserk , if I'd been any normal person I'd have had a panic attack, but I fought those fears and pushed them into hiding, the deeper we went the more fearful I got, we started up the staircase , every bone in my body was screaming now,it was screaming for me to turn and run away, I struggled to hold myself together, these feelings were so strong ,stronger than I'd ever felt before. I kept fighting pushing them back down, Sam spoke quietly "you sure you ok short fry?" I Smirked and looked at him , nodding in reply with a reassuring smile , It fooled him, god I was good sometimes, we reached the top of the stairs and moved onto the landing , I felt it close by , it's breath rippled down my neck, I spun and stabbed out with the wooden stake , home base, I'd hit my target right in the heart, It dropped instantly to the floor and I started to breath again, having held my breath the moment I'd felt it, I looked back to see Sam and Dean staring at me, "One down" Dean said sternly ,We continued along the long corridor opening each door we found and checking each room behind them, suddenly 5 or 6 of them appeared where from we don't know things happened quickly , I could hear blades slashing and the thumps as the vampires heads hit the floor, I managed to take a couple of head off before being sent flying through the air , I hit something hard and unforgiving pain shot through my side ,sharp and burning ,I laid still for a moment then tried rising to my feet , blade still in hand in case of another attack, I could feel the warm sticky sensation running down my side, the pain came in waves, deep blackening waves, blinding pain, but I couldn't let go, if I did I'd be dead ,no I had to stay upright and awake, Silence fell , all the vamps were dead.
I felt at ease, Yes all were gone I could relax, Wrong decision , my legs buckled and I fell to my knees , pain gripped my whole body , I dropped my blade and gripped my side , Damn this hurt ,seriously hurt, everything faded, the last I remember was a voice, very worried sounding shouting, shouting my name, it was Deans voice.
