DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything related to the Supernatural TV series. I own my OCs and parts of the plot.


CHAPTER 1: The beginning

- Beep, beep, beep! An alarm clock rang breaking the peaceful silence of the morning. Slam! Clank! Suddenly the beeping machine was smashed against the wall.

- Fuck, Aby! That was the third one this week, do you have to slam the clock against the wall? , a sleepy wild haired Ariana said getting up from the bed and picking up the wrecked clock from the floor.

- Like you have better self-control… Shit, what the heck did we drink last night? I feel like I high-fived a bus!, the crazy red-head crawled out of the bed and in a worm-like fashion went into the bathroom.

- I know we had a lot of shots and when I say a lot, I mean it! I lost count at 30 shots of tequila and you had more than I did anyway. Abigail, hurry up with that shower I wanna take one too!

- Aham, sure, be right out! Can you make some coffee please, I want to smoke my cigarette peacefully. And please find 2 aspirins, I am dying here!, Abigail practically shouted from the shower.

- Aye, aye, captain! I'll do the breakfast but you owe me one. Fuck, we need to buy a new clock. You are going to kill me, Abigail.

- Yea, yea…sure thing! That's my evil plan. Now, make me some coffee Ary.

This is the normal routine for Abigail and Ariana. They were both students, Aby at journalism and Ary at med-school. The both of them were best-friends since high school and they promised each other that after high school they are going to live together, so they moved in a flat. It wasn't big but it was enough for them to survive.

There was a bedroom with one king sized bed, two desks, two closets and two nightstands, the living room was small and consisted of a TV, a large sofa and a big bookcase. What Ariana liked about the flat was that it had a big kitchen and a great balcony view.

Ariana entered the kitchen and fixed breakfast for the two of them. She never really ate in the morning but sometimes she and Aby liked to sit at the table, drinking coffee, pretending to eat and talk about what was on their soul. They were always open to one another and that is why they have such a strong relationship. Ary put the bacon in the pan, added the eggs and voila the breakfast was ready. She set up the table right as Aby came into the room looking like she hadn't eaten in 3 days.

- Oh, God, Ary! I am so hungry I could eat a horse. Come on let's eat!

- Chill! Here you go eat all you want, I'm not hungry. Ariana said placing the plate in front of Aby and lighting up a cigarette.

- What's wrong, Ary, you look off today. Abigail was genuinely concerned about Ariana, she had moments when her mood just fell to the floor and she needed to vent all the anger and stress that accumulate over the weeks, but this was different, she looked almost scared.

- I don't know, Abs. Something feels fishy today but I guess it's just a feeling. What's the schedule for today?

- Well, I need to go to classes but I be out at 12. After that, I think a drink is needed so I'll head to the bar. Meet me there?

- Yea, sure! I have classes till 2pm. And after that I'll go to the library, so at 4pm I'll be at the bar. Try to be sober, please.

- Sure thing, Ary, I am a responsible person.

At this Ariana rose an eyebrow at her friend. Aby is responsible, but when she wanted to have fun, she goes crazy all the way.

- Are you taking the Harley or am I ? Abigail asked hoping she'll take the bike. It was her baby, she loved that Harley to no end.

- You take it, Abs! I don't need it today. Oh, shit, it's 7 I gotta run in the shower, when you leave please turn off the TV, please.

Ariana ran into the shower and sighed as the warm water hit her skin. She loved being home alone from time to time, she could think more profoundly in silence than with Aby wreaking havoc everywhere. She got out of the shower and dressed in a pair of jeans, a red top and her favorite leather jacket. She took her cigarettes and her cell and ran out the door. She was a studious kind of girl but she was really lazy so she sometimes had drops in her marks but she didn't care so much about that. She always wanted a life on the go, unstable, rebellious, unusual but she chose stability and safety. Classes went by incredibly slow, after some time dissecting bodies and what not got a little bit old. She usually went to the library after school because it was a peaceful place to study and she didn't have to worry about weird guys hitting on her.

Ariana entered the library looking around for a place to sit. She saw a free chair next to a really attractive guy, with longish dark brown hair and green eyes. Damn, he was such an eye-candy. He was circled by books and paper sheets, he was deep into some important research. She laid her bag on the floor and sat next to him, checking him out in the mean time. Taking out her books and notepad, she started working when his fountain pen found its moment to explode, spreading ink all over her work and turning her red shirt into blue. She gave a little yelp in shock.

- Oh, God! I am so sorry! Please forgive me, it wasn't my fault, the pen just exploded.

- No problem…Uh, I am blue now…Oh geez, and my work is ruined…A hell of a pen you got there. By the way, I am Ariana Dale. And you are…?

- Sam, Sam Winchester. Nice to meet you! Sorry again that I ruined your work and your shirt. Let me make it up to you. In an hour I am heading to the bar, let me buy you a drink please.

Oh, God, did he have puppy eyes. He was now standing so she could see how toned up and yummy he was. She mentally slapped herself. She should focus on studding not on how she would love to ravish the poor guy, but before she could think the words slipped out of her mouth.

- I'd love to go to the bar with you, I am heading there anyway.

- Let me give you a ride there then. It's the least I could do.

When she saw his car her jaw hit the floor, a Chevrolet Impala was staring her right in the face. It was beautiful and sexy.


Meanwhile Abigail left the house dressed in a tight pair of leather pants, a grey T-shirt and a black leather jacket. When she saw her bike, her day suddenly brightened, she was her baby.

- Hey, hun, how are you this morning? She said petting the Harley. We have a long day ahead of us so bear with me.

She got in the bike and sped off in the direction of the University. She got off the bike and went towards the cafeteria where she ordered a big cup o'Joe. She lit a cigarette and took a long drag out of it. Today started good for her. When she thought about having to go to classes the laziness in her picked up, but she had to go if she wanted to pass her finals. The only thought that made her day was the fact that after her classes she would go to the bar and have her usual glass of whiskey. She sat in class with her headphones on, a Metallica song blasting loudly in her ears. She liked sitting in the back of the class, going unnoticed. She sometimes even fell asleep, her sunglasses on and her jacket as a pillow, but that was just when Ary took her out to drink. She loved her best friend but when she got her crazy drinking mood, she turned into a monster. Last time they had a crazy night like that Ary slept for 2 days straight and Aby had a hangover for almost a week.

Finally after what felt like an eternity, Abys classes where over and the bar awaited her. She got on her bike and nearly teleported at the bar. She sat down at a table and ordered a big glass of whiskey with 2 ice cubes, a hint of coke and a slice of lemon. After half an hour, a guy entered the bar. He definitely caught her eye, he was tall and muscular and his green eyes shone in the dim light. Damn, he was such a sexy best that she would surely flirt with. She saw him go to the bar and ordered a beer, then he sat at a table near her. She saw him check her out and so the path to her plan was made. She went to him and gave him a flirty smile.

- Hey, there! Haven't seen you around, you new 'roun here? She said resting her hand on the table, bending over the table, clearly flirting with him.

- Yea, I'm new, just passing through. Me and my brother travel a lot. By the way my name is Dean, he said flashing her a smile that made her knees grow weak.

- I'm Abigail Kaine and damn, it's a pleasure meeting you.

- Why don't you seat down at my table? I'd love to get to know you better. She laughed at the remark he made and sat down on a chair.

- So. Dean, what brings you in our small little town? She asked being curious as usual.

- Well, family business. It's complicated really. So, what 'bout you? You don't seem like the small town kinda girl? Abigail noticed that he was trying to change the subject so she let it go, for now,

- Me and Ariana are from Wyoming. We moved here because she wanted to get rid of her parents and we both wanted to live together so we moved out here in Vermilion. We chose just a random city on the map, we entered University and here we are, in our final year. In 2 weeks I'll be a journalist and Ariana is going to be a doc. The sad thing is that we both want a crazy life but we chose the quiet, nice life. It was a safe choice.

- Well you don't know how much I sometimes want the silent life. Change of subject, I saw a bike outside, know anything 'bout its owner he asked looking at her, checking her out again.

- Yea, the Harley, right? It's my baby. I sometimes give it to Ariana, but I hardly do that 'cause it's the love of my life and I'm overprotective over it.

- I know the feeling, I do the same with my baby, a Chevvy Impala from'67. Right now it's with my brother, Sam, and I could kill him if he would scratch my baby-doll.

- Oh, God, it's one of my favorite cars. I'd totally like to ride in it and see how she rolls.

- We'll do that, it'll be my pleasure. Look, my brother just arrived and he's with a chick. Wow, I can't believe that my prude brother is out with a girl. And she's hot too.

Aby couldn't believe her eyes, Ariana was with Deans brother, a tall almost giant man, with longish brown hair, green eyes and as ripped as his brother.

- Well isn't that a surprise, the girl there, is Ariana my best friend. It's her first date in a long, long time, so why don't we go and take that ride that you promised me, she said, her hand caressing Dean's leg.

The smirk on Deans face said it all. They got up and left without a word. They got in the Impala and drove to the flat. On the way they bought 2 packs of beer and 3 packs of cigs. When they arrived at the flat, Aby unlocked the door and went in the bedroom with Dean following close behind. In less than half an hour they were both drunk out of their minds and onto each other. Aby kissed him, first slowly, then passionately, slowly biting his lower lip. He growled and got his hands under her shirt, massaging her back with his strong, calloused hands. She moaned lightly and bit his neck, earning a low groan from him. Her hands travelled up his chest, massaging his strong abs on the way. Her shirt flew off her in a second and his shirt disappeared with it. They didn't want to stop but the alcohol finally affected their bodies and they fell asleep together, Dean holding her tight against his strong chest.

The next morning, Aby woke up with a hangover and nice memories from the night before. The heat radiating from Deans body relaxing her muscles and making her feel happy and safe. She grumbled as she tried to get up but Dean had a vice grip on her waist.

- And where do you think you're going, sexy? , he asked, a sleepy smirk on his face.

Aby being the crazy vixen that she was, got on top of him and started kissing him passionately. Dean smirked gripping her hips and pulling her closer to him as they made out on the bed. They didn't know that they were going to get busted.


Meanwhile Ariana was having quite a good time with Sam:

- Nice ride you have there, Sam. I love it.

- Yeah, it's my brothers. This car it's his baby, I think he cares more about the car than about me.

- I know what you mean, my best friend is like that too, her Harley it's her life, Ary said with a chuckle while patting him on the back.

The ride to the bar was quite fun, both of them joking and making fun of their best friend/brother. When they got there, Ary saw Abigail talking and flirting with a really handsome guy.

- Well, looks like Dean is at it again, Sam said with a sigh.

- Yep, and he is at it with Abigail… Let's leave the two to chat and have fun while we have our drinks.

Ary was very nervous, this was her first date in 2 years and it felt strange to be back in the game so fast. Sam ordered them 2 beers and they sat comfortably at the bar.

- So, Sam, what brings you in our town, huh? Ary was sincerely curious as tourists never came here, they had nothing to see.

- Well, me and Dean travel a lot around the country and we thought we should rest here. Ariana could tell he was lying but she didn't push him, it was his choice.

- Oh, crap, Aby is going out with your brother, I bet they go to our flat.

Ariana knew Aby will take him home with her, so she had to get a room at the hotel. She hated when this happened because she felt very lonely and jealous because Aby had many lovers.

- Then, how about you come with me at the hotel and sleep with me. After a second Sam noticed how perverted that sounded

- I mean in the same room, like sleep, closed eyes and dreaming sleep… He stumbled on his words so cutely that Ariana couldn't help but giggle.

- I understanded what you wanted to say. Yea, sure, no problem with that. I don't know why but I kind of trust you. Let's go, Sam!

Sam took her hand and left with her following. They needed to take the bike because Aby and Dean took the Impala.

- You drive Sam; I'm a little bit dizzy right now. You know how to right? Ariana said raising an eyebrow.

- Yea, I know, but I am kind of rusty. Hopefully I'll drive us back alive, Sam laughrd getting on the bike.

Ariana sat behind him, hugging him tightly. He drove off with her holding him and after 10 minutes they were at the hotel. The room was simple and cheap, but she didn't mind at all, she knew that when you are travelling you don't have the luxury in checking in 5 stars hotels.

- So, Ariana, what do you study? Sam asked while sitting on the bed.

- Well, I go to med-school. It's hard but it works for me. Abigail has a major in journalism. But we both know that if something interesting happened we would leave everything and go sole the problem. We are kind of bored of this life, it's to peaceful for us. For me the thought of a white fence life scares me to death. I don't want to transform in house-wife and right now the thought of marriage makes me think of a dog in a leash. I know it's kind of childish but that's what I think.

- Me, I always wished I had a life like that but now I don't want it anymore. You could say my lifestyle isn't the best one for having a family.

Ariana looked at him and she could see the pain and rage that rested in his eyes. She hated to see him like this so she needed to change the subject.

- So how 'bout we get some sleep, huh?

But before Ariana could finish the sentence, the lights started flickering and the TV started buzzing. The door burst open hitting the wall and a creepy guy was standing in the doorway, a killer look in his eyes. Suddenly his eyes flashed black and he growled. Ariana was terrified, she stood like a statue in the middle of the room. The humanoid beast lashed out and slammed her into a wall, holding her by her neck, slowly suffocating her. In that moment she knew that she was going to die tonight, a violent, creepy death that is. As she was saying her prayers, a loud gunshot resonated through the room and the beast flashed a purplish light and fell dead on the floor. Ariana collapsed on her knees, holding her bruised neck and gazing at his knight in not so shiny jeans. Sam was holding an old looking gun, pointing it where the beast last stood. She woke up from her shock and ran straight into Sams arms, trembling against his shirt. While he held her, he knew he was going to tell her the truth about him and Dean and he wasn't prepared for it. God, he really liked this girl and now everything was ruined by an asshole demon. Arianas trebling finally stopped and she asked him the question he didn't want to hear:

- Sam, what was the thing that attacked me? It…it wasn't human right? No human can do that…So tell me, please tell me what just tried to kill me.

- It was a demon… A real demon. When I told you that me and Dean travel, we travel to hunt these monsters. We are hunters and we had been all our lives.

Sam couldn't believe how well Ary was taking this. She looked calm and composed, asking questions from time to time, for him it was the first time, telling his life story without receiving screams, terrified looks or an invitation to the looney bin. Ariana looked genuinely interested in their job, that was what surprised him the most.

- Wow, what you do is amazing, I love all the danger and adrenaline! Sorry, I sound like a child, I know how dangerous it is but it's so interesting. Oh, and by the way, hum, we should get out of here before the cops come, I bet the shot was heard up to my house.

- Yea, probably. Let's get moving, hopefully Dean it's decent when we get there. It would be life scarring to see him in the middle of something. Sam imagined the scene against his will and looked ready to vomit. Ary chuckled and took Sams hand, leading him to the bike.

- Let's go! We have a one night stand to ruin. Sam laughed at this, getting on the bike and driving off to the flat.

When they got there, all the lights were out except from the one in the bedroom. Ariana looked like the aftershock from the demon experience was catching up with her. Her black hair was wild, her eyes were red with dilated pupils, she was shaking and she looked ready to bawl her eyes out. Ary got off the bike and she nearly collapsed but Sam reacted swiftly and grabbed her, carrying her bridal style into the house. He laid her on the couch and went in search for the kitchen thinking that a glass of water would help her, oh, he was so wrong. When he came back with a glass of water he found her on the floor, her back resting against the couch and a bottle of vodka in her hand. After 10 minutes Ariana finally spoke, her voice a bit raspy.

- I should go and get Aby. She is going to stabilize me in 5 seconds. Then she is going to be mad at me for interrupting her thing with Dean and then we are going to finish a bottle of vodka in 30 minutes. A giggle escaped her mouth, signaling that either she got over the demon thing or that the alcohol started acting up.

- Want me to come with you? Or do you want to go through this scarring experience alone?

- Oh, you are coming with me. I don't want to go through this traumatizing experience alone, as she said that, she took his hand and went to the bedroom door. There was no sound and that alone was strange because she knew Abs was not the silent type in bed.

Ariana knocked on the door and then opened it, revealing Dean and Abigail asleep cuddling. The floor near the bed was covered in empty beer bottles and a cigarette that was still burning was thrown on the bed, smoke coming out of the freshly burned sheets. You could see a vein pulsing on Arianas forehead, damn, she was pissed. Sam wanted to back off a bit, scared that the girl next to him is going to explode and rip every ones heads off. He was shocked to see her breathe deeply, extinguish the cigarette, pick up the empty bottles, close the door and head back to the kitchen.

- Normally, I would have given Abs a big slap on the back of her head and a week of dishwashing but I'm too tired for that and she deserves a break too. Uh, news is I am so not sleeping in the same room with those two, so we are going to share the couch. The bathroom is over there and there are spare toothbrushes in the first drawer. I'm gonna change meet you in a bit.

- Okay, he said while a laugh escaping her lips. She was a handful, a sexy handful that was. Her energy filled the room and made everyone laugh.

When he got out of the bathroom he saw her in an oversized T-shirt, bent over the couch trying to expand it. The sight took his breath away but he had to focus, he wasn't his brother. He went to the couch and with a hand he opened the couch and she smiled at him, showing her pearly white teeth.

- You deserve a treat for helping me, my hero, she said as she pulled him in for a sweet kiss. He grabbed her, throwing her on the bed and taking his shirt off. He knew Arianas mind was working on alcohol so what they were doing now was a mistake so he had to stop her.

- Its sleep time for you, missy. He said getting in the bed and pulling the covers over them. Sleep took over them and they fell asleep as their heads hit the pillow.

The next morning Ariana felt a warm hand around her waist and she remembered that her new crush, Sam was holding her. She hadn't felt like this before, she felt like she belonged there. She opened her eyes and saw a naked chest in front of her, a sexy God like naked chest that is. She looked at him and noticed that he was awake, watching her. Sam wanted to wake up next to her every morning, but he knew that wasn't possible. This impossibility made him realize yet again how much he sacrificed for this life style.

- Hey there! How'd you sleep? She asked cupping his cheek and kissing him.

- I slept amazing. So do you think that the 2 love birds are up?

- Don't know I'll go and check. You watch TV or something.

His eyes followed her as she went down the hall. She looked stunning to him, her t-shirt hanging off of her as she strolled to the bedroom. As she entered the room she saw Abigail straddling Dean on the bed, only in her bra and Dean was shirtless and smirking like he just won the lottery. Ary cleared her through and both Aby and Dean jumped in surprise.

- Oh my God, Ary! You scared the crap out of me! How was your night with Sammy ? She said with a crazy smile on her face.

- Well, it went well, until I was almost killed by a freaking demon. She said with sarcasm in her voice.

- Demon? Oh, jeez, we'll talk about it over breakfast. You making pancakes again?...
