AUTHORS NOTE: Most of this will be in Deans Pov. Set a year after Sam left for Stanford. I hope you guys like this story :)

P.S. The Nure-Onna is a real folklore, but I'm changing it up a bit so she's on land instead of water. I know I should use her in my Merman Dean story but by having her be a land creature the thing that happens to Dean in this chapter will make sense.

P.S.S. Please ignore any spelling or grammar errors. Thank you:)

Chapter 1: Burning (Deans Pov)

"Dean." I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Dads voice.

"Yes?" he looks back to the road.

"Did you hear anything I just said?" he asks.

"Yes, whatever you do don't let it get behind you." He nods.

"Good."

It's been a year since Sam left, and Dad's been distant ever since. I can tell that he misses Sam; he's too proud to say or do anything about it, but it hasn't really been that easy for me either. My job since I was four was to take care of Sam, and now that he's gone its like my life has no meaning anymore.

Right now we are in North Dakota hunting a Nure-Onna, a snake woman. She lures people towards her with her beauty then attacks.

"Dean, remember to…" I cut him off.

"Shoot it in the face, I know." He rolls his eyes as he pulls off into the woods. He parks the car in the clearing and we grab our supplies.

"I'm going to cover the east side of the woods" Dad states, "You cover the west." I nod.

"Fine." I grab the sawed off, two hand guns, a knife, and a flashlight and close the trunk. We look each other in the eyes one more time, and I see judgment in his eyes. For the last year nothing I did pleased him, I'm not strong enough, not fast enough, and I'm defiantly not smart enough for him. We nod to each other and we walk in separate directions.

While walking several questions popped into my head. Why did Sam have to leave? Why did Dad cut off all ties with him? Why is everything I do never enough for him? I hear a rustle behind me, and I turn around. I point the sawed off at the figure, taking a step back.

"Can you help me sir, I'm lost" She says, sounding scared.

"Sorry sweetheart" I clip the safety off and smirk, "but I don't help scaly bitched." the scared look turns to one of anger, and she starts hissing. A tail appears from behind her and she charges for me. I shoot at her but she dodges it with ease. "Shit" as I keep shooting at her I grab my knife with my right hand, ready for when she hits me. She throws the gun from my left hand and pushes me up against a tree, her face level with mine.

"Your feisssssty" she hisses, "I like that" I hit her in the head with my left fist and her head shoots back. When she regains composure she hisses and opens her mouth. I take that as my opportunity to kill the bitch and plunge the knife into her chest. Her eyes widen and her grip loosens. After that everything happens too fast.

A liquid sprays from her mouth and before I can do anything it goes into my eyes and the burning starts instantly. The next thing I know I'm on the forest floor, clawing at my eyes. It felt like my eyes were being ripped apart by fire. I hear Dads voice through the fire, and I wanna say something, but its then that I realize I'm screaming.

"Dean! It's going to be ok Ace, I'm going to get you help" Dads panicked voice is the last thing I hear before I give into the darkness.
