INT. DETROIT - ALLEYWAY – NIGHT
DEAN and SAM are fighting vampires, but they're starting to lose.
SAM
Dean!
A vampire is about to bite DEAN's neck. All of a sudden, a garbage can lid flies out of nowhere, decapitating the vampire. The other two vamps look at what killed their friend. We see Chelsea, standing there triumphantly.
CHELSEA
Hey fellas.
DEAN and SAM look in shock as CHELSEA fights the other two vamps on her own. She takes out her machete and spins, cutting off both of their heads in one swoop. She sighs, and puts her machete away.
CHELSEA
Ah, the rush of slaying a vampire, eh? The thrill of not knowing if you're gonna win or not? Then when you DO win, which is very probable, you have a sense of accomplishment.
DEAN and SAM gawk at her.
CHELSEA
Hi, I'm Chelsea. You're Sam and Dean Winchester, right? I've heard so much about you guys. I mean, you're the only interesting thing watchers ever talk about.
SAM
Who are you?
CHELSEA
Chelsea Micheals.
(Realizes that they're on the ground)
Oh, I'm sorry. Do you need help up?
DEAN
We're good.
DEAN helps SAM up, and cautiously looks at CHELSEA.
SAM
When we said, who are you, I think we meant, how did you do that?
CHELSEA
The key is to be resourceful.
DEAN
Resourceful?
CHELSEA
Well, yeah.
(As she says this she hops up onto a ledge)
I mean, say you're fighting a pagan god. You don't have a stake, so what're you gonna do?
(DEAN is about to answer it but CHELSEA cuts him off)
Rhetorical. You break off any wooden thing you can find. Like, this one time I was fighting this one trickster and-
DEAN
What are you?
CHELSEA
I'm human, thank you very much.
SAM runs over to her and splashes her with borax, and then salt.
CHELSEA (CONT'D)
Hey! What was that for?
DEAN
We just gotta make sure.
(Pulls out a knife and hands it to CHELSEA)
It's silver.
CHELSEA sighs and cuts her hand with it. She's human.
CHELSEA
See? Human.
DEAN
Sorry, it's just we've had troubles talking, even associating with demons.
CHELSEA
I've heard.
(She looks at SAM and raises an eyebrow. SAM, caught off guard, raises both of his eyebrows)
DEAN
So, a girl packing a punch as hard as you? You can't be human.
CHELSEA sits on the ledge.
CHELSEA
Oh, but I am.
DEAN
Care to explain?
CHELSEA
(After hesitation)
I'm the slayer.
SAM and DEAN raise their eyebrows in confusion.
INT. DETROIT – MOTEL ROOM – NIGHT
DEAN
Okay, explain this again. You're a what?
CHELSEA
Slay-er? Surely you've heard of me before.
DEAN and SAM look at her, confused.
CHELSEA (CONT'D)
(sighs)
Of course not. Into each generation a slayer is born, one girl in all the world. A chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires-
DEAN
We know what a slayer IS. Are you just a strong Buffy- wannabe?
CHELSEA
No! That show is based on what I am. Buffy never existed, and I've never watched that show in my life.
DEAN
How did Joss Whedon learn about slayers then?
CHELSEA
He was supposed to be a watcher, but he rebelled and became a writer instead. He used his knowledge on slayers to write. His knowledge was limited though, so he thought that stakes and sunlight could kill them. Looked in all the wrong books.
SAM
So you're the slayer...
CHELSEA
The one and only.
SAM
You're like, thirteen!
CHELSEA
Uh, excuse me? I'm fourteen, dumb ass.
DEAN
How do you know who we are?
CHELSEA
You're like, legendary! The Winchesters. The ones demons have nightmares about, and only stupid people go after. My watcher's told me all about you guys, hoping to teach me something.
SAM
How much do you know about us?
CHELSEA
Everything.
DEAN
Who pulled me out of hell?
CHELSEA
Castiel. Or, Cas.
DEAN
Fine, easy one. Uh... what's our Dad's name?
CHELSEA
John Winchester.
DEAN
Dammit. Uhh... what's Sam afraid of?
SAM
Dean, she couldn't know-
CHELSEA
Clowns.
DEAN chuckles.
SAM
What's Dean afraid of?
CHELSEA
Flying. On planes.
DEAN
When's my birthday?
CHELSEA
January 24, 1979.
DEAN
DAMMIT!
SAM
Dean, I don't think we need to test her anymore.
CHELSEA
Why are you making sure I'm telling the truth?
DEAN
Look, you may be fourteen, but I don't trust you.
CHELSEA
I don't trust anyone.
DEAN
We're on the same page then.
SAM
Why are you here?
CHELSEA
I need help. Vampires nest back in LA. Too strong for only me to handle, so I thought I'd track you down.
DEAN
How'd you find us?
CHELSEA
Come on, two credit cards used near the same places every day, with the last names Jimmy and Page? Really?
DEAN
I thought it was clever...
SAM
So there's a nest? How many?
CHELSEA
Around twenty I'd say.
SAM
You're right, you can't do this on your own.
CHELSEA
So, are you guys in or out?
DEAN and SAM look at each other. DEAN shrugs, and SAM nods.
DEAN & SAM
In.
CHELSEA smiles.
INT. ON THE ROAD - IMPALA – NIGHT
DEAN is driving, and SAM is shotgun, sleeping. CHELSEA is in the backseat, wide awake.
DEAN
So, what's your story?
CHELSEA
Excuse me?
DEAN
I mean, why'd you come find us? I bet you have better resources in LA.
CHELSEA
I don't think you guys understand how legendary you are. You guys are the best.
DEAN
Yeah, I get that. But don't you have watchers or something? Helping you out? Why aren't they here?
CHELSEA
It doesn't matter.
DEAN
I think it does.
CHELSEA
I don't wanna talk about it, okay?
DEAN
Fine. Fine...
They sit in awkward silence for a bit.
SAM
So do you live in LA?
CHELSEA
Born and raised.
SAM
Cool, we were born in Kansas City.
CHELSEA
I know, remember?
SAM
Oh yeah.
More awkward silence. DEAN reaches over and turns on music. It's "We Built This City". He taps his fingers in rhythm on the wheel. Then he starts to sing along, waking SAM up.
DEAN
We built this city. We built this city on rock and roll, we built this city. We built this city on rock and ro- ooll.
SAM & CHELSEA
Dean.
DEAN quickly turns it off. More awkward silence.
DEAN
So, you're a slayer.
CHELSEA
(correcting him)
"the".
DEAN
Right, right. What's it like?
CHELSEA
It's a bitch.
DEAN
Oh.
CHELSEA
Yeah, I mean, it was cool at first. Having superpowers and all that, but the coolness of it all wears off eventually. I had to train day and night, I put distanced myself from my parents, and I stopped having friends.
DEAN
Oh.
CHELSEA
Yeah, not exactly the best childhood ever.
DEAN
I know what you mean.
DEAN smiles weakly at CHELSEA, and she weakly smiles back.
SAM
When did you get called, or chosen, or whatever.
CHELSEA
I was called at the age of 11. Really young for a slayer. That's why they trained me extra hard. They thought I was special. Hmph. I'm special alright.
Silence for a bit.
DEAN
You should sleep. If we're gonna make it by morning, it's gonna be an all-nighter.
CHELSEA
Nah, I'm good. I don't sleep that much.
DEAN nods, he understands.
INT. LA - IMPALA - MORNING
DEAN looks in the back, and sees CHELSEA sleeping. SAM is also sleeping, and he sighs. He wakes SAM up, and SAM jolts up.
DEAN
We're here, sleeping beauty.
SAM
Sorry, I don't usually fall asleep like that.
DEAN
I know you don't.
(motions towards CHELSEA)
Should we wake her up?
SAM looks at CHELSEA, and shrugs. DEAN shrugs too and they get out of the car. They close the doors in sync.
DEAN (CONT'D)
She's tough too. She wouldn't wanna be woken up like a little kid.
SAM
What do you think about Chelsea by the way?
DEAN
I think she's a little kid who was put into this life too fast and too hard.
SAM
Like you?
(DEAN sighs and starts to walk away)
Look, Dean I'm sorry. That just sort of came out.
DEAN
I see a lot of her in me. I really do. She's tough, and I can tell that she can handle herself. Hell, she saved us, Sam. I just don't know a lot about her.
SAM
You think we can trust her?
DEAN
I don't know. Maybe. You can never say for sure. We learned that the hard way. Someone's always gonna betray you one way or another.
SAM
Dean, don't even start-
CHELSEA
Hey.
They turn, surprised to see CHELSEA.
SAM
Chelsea! Sorry, we thought we'd let you sleep.
CHELSEA
You should've woken me up.
DEAN
You didn't need to be woken up. You did that on your own.
CHELSEA
Hm. So this is our room?
DEAN
104.
CHELSEA
Let's go in.
DEAN opens the door and SAM and CHELSEA walk in. SAM puts his bags on the bed, and CHELSEA sits down on the couch.
DEAN
Do you have any stuff to put in?
CHELSEA
No.
DEAN
Okay.
DEAN closes the door and runs his stuff in as well.
DEAN
That couch you're sitting on folds out, so you can sleep on there.
CHELSEA
I've had worse.
DEAN
(finally sits down)
So where are these vamps?
CHELSEA
Linda Vista Hospital.
DEAN
Wait, THE Linda Vista Hospital?
CHELSEA
Yeah? It's this run down building that's been there forever. Vamps like to nest there because people try to stay overnight on dares. When they go missing they say it's ghosts that did it.
SAM
So there aren't any ghosts? Just vampires?
CHELSEA
Yup.
DEAN
Seriously?
(CHELSEA nods)
Well, my childhood's ruined.
SAM
(CHELSEA looks at him with a puzzled look)
Dad used to tell us stories about the Linda Vista Hospital. Always told us it was haunted. Dean loved those stories.
DEAN
They were the best! When we went to LA for a case Dad was working on, I went to the school there and my friends would always tell me stuff about it.
CHELSEA
Yeah, well sorry but it's just vampires.
DEAN
Damn.
(chuckling)
Well, we'll go in there tonight, and "slay" them.
CHELSEA and SAM look at DEAN like, "seriously?" DEAN chuckles and then sees their faces. He retracts the chuckle.
CHELSEA
Sure. Are you sure you don't wanna sleep, Dean? You've been driving all night.
DEAN
Nah, if I sleep now I'll never be awake for the "slaying".
CHELSEA
Oh, stop it!
CHELSEA walks into the bathroom. DEAN looks at SAM, with a smug look on his face. SAM shakes his head.
Ext. Night, outside of abandoned hospital.
CHELSEA
You guys ready for this?
DEAN
Bring it on.
INSIDE HOSPITAL
They walk into the building, DEAN pointing the flashlight with the gun.
SAM
Where are they?
CHELSEA
Upstairs.
DEAN
Well, let's go.
They start to walk upstairs, when they hear a crash. They quickly turn to where the crash was, walk towards it. It came from behind a curtain, so they quietly go to it. SAM slowly takes the curtain, and quickly parts it. They hold up guns. They see a little girl behind the curtain, shivering and crying.
SAM
What are you doing here?
LITTLE GIRL
People were mean to me.
SAM
They were mean?
LITTLE GIRL shakes her head yes
DEAN
Chelsea, get her out of here. Sam and I'll go upstairs.
CHELSEA
But Dean-
DEAN
Go!
CHELSEA takes LITTLE GIRL and leads her out. SAM and DEAN continue to go upstairs.
CHELSEA
Are you okay?
LITTLE GIRL
People were mean to me.
CHELSEA
What are you talking about, which people?
LITTLE GIRL
Now I'm mean to them.
As she says this the room starts to shake. Lamps fall off tables and CHELSEA looks around, panicked. She turns back to the LITTLE GIRL and her face is bleeding, and her eyes are missing.
LITTLE GIRL (CONT'D)
They were mean to me.
CHELSEA takes a gun out quickly, and shoots the LITTLE GIRL in the face. The LITTLE GIRL disappears. The shaking continues.
CHELSEA
Sam! Dean!
She knows they can't hear her, so she runs upstairs. She finds a vampire strung up, with hooks in his hands with chains being the only thing holding him up. He's in pain. (with teeth) CHELSEA takes out the machete and walks up to him slowly.
CHELSEA (CONT'D)
Where are the two guys that came into here?
VAMPIRE
Hehe... Chelsea. Come back for more huh? Or maybe just revenge?
CHELSEA
Where are Sam and Dean?
VAMPIRE
Winchester? That's who they were? Huh. Thought they'd be tougher.
CHELSEA puts the machete to his neck
CHELSEA
Shut up and tell me where they are.
VAMPIRE
Hehe... feisty. Just like your mother.
CHELSEA reacts to this, horrified, and chops his head off. He hangs there, with his hands still strung up.
CHELSEA
(to herself)
Dammit Chelsea, why the Hell'd you do that?
She hears a scream, and runs into the room next to it. She holds her gun up, and sees a female vampire. She's screaming and pacing, and holding her hands to her eyes.
CHELSEA (CONT'D)
What's wrong?
FEMALE VAMPIRE
My eyes!
She takes her hands away, revealing that her eyes are gone. CHELSEA looks to the table, and the camera pans over to it. We see that her eyes are sitting there, obviously cut from her.
CHELSEA
Not that I care about you being in pain, but who did this?
FEMALE VAMPIRE
A child. She came in, killed off 80% of the vampires, then did this. I don't know where the others are.
CHELSEA
Did you see Sam and Dean?
FEMALE VAMPIRE
Who?
CHELSEA
Sam and Dean Winchester? One's tall, long hair. Other's not as tall, short hair? Both good looking as hell.
FEMALE VAMPIRE
Oh them? They left.
CHELSEA
Left where?
FEMALE VAMPIRE
I don't know!
The FEMALE VAMPIRE looks at something across the room and screams. CHELSEA looks and we see that the LITTLE GIRL is back.
LITTLE GIRL
Now you were mean to me.
She flicks her hand at the FEMALE VAMPIRE, and her head comes flying off. CHELSEA tries to shoot the LITTLE GIRL, but she's out of bullets.
CHELSEA
Dammit, how can I be out? I've only used one!
The LITTLE GIRL holds out her hands, and shows all of the bullets, and she pours them out on the floor.
LITTLE GIRL
Now no one can be mean to me again.
LITTLE GIRL flicks her wrists, leaving a gash on CHELSEA's stomach. CHELSEA doubles in pain, and falls to the floor, gasping. The LITTLE GIRL glides over to CHELSEA, and about to finish her off when a bullet passes through her, making her disappear. DEAN runs over and picks CHELSEA up. SAM follows, pointing the gun, looking.
DEAN
Go, go!
They run out with CHELSEA in DEAN's arms. They run out of the building, and run into the impala, with DEAN throwing CHELSEA in the back. They drive off hazardously.
INT. LA - NIGHT – HOTEL ROOM
CHELSEA is sitting in her bed, wrapping a bandage over her wound.
CHELSEA
Thanks for stitching it up for me, doc.
DEAN smiles
SAM
So what's with the ghost? I thought that place wasn't haunted!
CHELSEA
It isn't! Well, I thought it isn't. Look, it isn't supposed to be haunted. So I don't know why there's a violent pissed off girl there.
DEAN
Well, what if the building's not haunted. What if it's something that the spirit got attached to?
CHELSEA
Then we just burn it's bones.
DEAN
If it was buried.
SAM
That would mean that this just got harder.
CHELSEA
What do you mean? We'd just have to find, salt, and burn whatever she's attaching herself to.
SAM
It sounds easy on paper, but we have no idea who this girl is, or even what or who she's attached herself onto. This is hopeless.
CHELSEA
Never say hopeless. You guys have died, multiple times. Usually when somebody dies they're gone. Forever. They have no hope of their loved one coming back. You guys come back from the dead every Wednesday. You guys have the most hope supplied I have ever seen, but it's never used. So don't you guys go around talking about hope. 'Cause you guys take advantage of it. Now, lets find out who this girl is.
SAM and DEAN nod
CHELSEA (CONT'D)
Great. So let's just take a look at the facts and break it down. This girl tortured the one vamp by hooking the guy's hands and holding him up there. And she tortured the girl by taking out her eyes. Lets look in the record for little girls around the ages of 8 and 10 who got tortured this way.
SAM and DEAN look at her surprised
CHELSEA (CONT'D)
What?
SAM
Nothing, it's just. Good job.
CHELSEA smiles, proudly. After research, SAM gets their attention.
SAM
Hey, get this. Little girl that goes by the name of Heather Grace was killed in 1987 by an abusive family that liked to do these things.
DEAN
Kinda like an Addams family deal?
SAM
Yeah, kinda.
DEAN
Sweet. So what did she own that would still be here, and why is it in the hospital?
SAM
I don't know.
As SAM's scrolling down, we see a face that CHELSEA automatically recognizes.
CHELSEA
(stops SAM)
There! Stop! Who's she?
SAM
Heather's sister, Stella.
CHELSEA
Recognize her?
SAM and DEAN shake their heads
CHELSEA
(sighs)
That's one of the vampires that was in the nest at the hospital. Check for a missing person's report involving her.
SAM types in "Stella Holmes" and a result pops up. "Stella Holmes: Missing for 10 Days, Police Giving Up"
SAM
You're right. From what I can tell on here, Stella went missing when she was walking home from a party.
CHELSEA
She was one of the vampires. She probably had something of Heather's. She might still be in there, alive. We gotta go.
CHELSEA rushes over to get her duffle bag full of weapons, and cringes as she bends down.
DEAN
Woah, woah. Look I know you wanna help, but you're kinda injured. I don't want you to get even more hurt.
CHELSEA
Trust me, I'm tougher than I seem.
DEAN
Are you sure?
CHELSEA reaches into the duffel bag, pulling out a loaded shotgun.
CHELSEA
More than I've ever been in my life.
INT. LA – INSIDE HOSPITAL – NIGHT
DEAN
We should all stay together, I don't want little miss here to separate us.
CHELSEA
Good idea.
They walk together, holding up their guns and flashlights. They hear a rustle, and walk over towards it, cautiously. It's a closet. DEAN motions for SAM and CHELSEA to get ready, and he quickly swings the door open. We see a scared STELLA.
STELLA
Oh thank god! You guys are human right?
SAM
And you're a vampire.
STELLA
Yeah, whatever. Big whoop. I get it, you're a hunter. Bad vampires, bad! But we have a common interest now, killing this son of a bitch ghost. So I would suggest you NOT kill me now.
CHELSEA
You know that the ghost is Heather, right?
STELLA
(shocked)
Heather?
DEAN
Yeah, you haven't seen the ghost yet?
STELLA
No, I've been hiding the entire time.
SAM
Do you know what Heather could have attached herself onto?
STELLA
No! No, nothing that...
(realization)
DEAN
What?
STELLA
The old me was a sucker for musical theatre. I kept this 'cause it was pretty. Might be worth something after a hundred years.
SAM
What is it?
STELLA pulls out a locket, and opens it. In it we see blonde hair.
STELLA
It's hers. I cut it off her before she was cremated.
DEAN grabs the locket and runs over to bare patch of ground.
DEAN
Sammy! Get some firewood.
SAM
Yup.
CHELSEA
What should I do?
DEAN
Um?
Sam throws firewood. All of a sudden STELLA gets picked up by the ghost, and a stick is shoved up her eye. She coughs on her own blood, and then the ghost cuts her head off.
CHELSEA
Shit. Dean...
DEAN
Almost there!
HEATHER gets closer and closer, until she bursts into flames. CHELSEA smiles, as she looks at DEAN, he gives her the thumbs up.
INT. LA – OUTSIDE OF HOTEL – DAY
DEAN is throwing his bags in the back of the impala. SAM is following him, and goes back in the hotel room for more.
CHELSEA
Thanks for letting me crash here for the night.
DEAN
No problem. Why wouldn't I have?
CHELSEA
Well, you know. Thanks anyways.
DEAN
(chuckles)
So where are you going?
CHELSEA
I really don't know.
DEAN
What about your watcher?
CHELSEA
Yeah... about that. I kinda ran away.
DEAN
Ran away?
CHELSEA
(sheepishly)
Well, uh, yeah. They're NO fun. And you guys are so much better at slaying than those stuffy old guys. Being with you guys is so much more fun. So you see, I really can't go back. I don't wanna face them.
DEAN
I know where you're coming from.
CHELSEA
Hehe... yeah...
AWKWARD SILENCE
DEAN
I know I'm gonna regret this, but do you wanna stay with us? Help us fight demons and stuff?
CHELSEA
I'll be in the car.
She runs and goes into the backseat. DEAN shakes his head and chuckles.
SAM
(just coming back with some bags)
What?
DEAN
Chelsea's staying with us for awhile.
SAM
Why? I thought you said you couldn't trust her?
DEAN
(looking at CHELSEA who's in the backseat)
I don't. But I can always try.
SAM puts his last bag in the trunk, as DEAN goes to the front seat, and they get in and close the doors in sync.
End to credits.
