First Chapter- Devils Trap
Some chapters together because I already started this somewhere else, but this site is better :)

The Girl threw the knife, but it apparently missed the aim.
"Shit.", she cursed, turned around and started to run. She looked into her backpack while she was running, but then she slipped and fell. She tried to get up but couldn't do it fast enough and suddenly a gun mouth was pointed at her head.
"Really? That's what I taught you over the past years? Disappointing." The girl started to breathe faster and faster while she looked at the gun.
"It was just a bad run.", She said.
"Every bad run can kill you." The person who held the gun at the girls head took it away and held his hand to her. She took it and stood up.
"I know." Suddenly the phone of the guy rang and he picked up, while the girl got rid of the dust on her trousers.
"Okay." Was all the guy said and hung up again. "We're getting visitors, Emma." The girl looked surprised at the man.

Emma stared down to the living room from the stairs and had a close look at the two young men, which just entered the house. They talked, but Emma couldn't hear, what it was. Bobby had forbidden her to come downstairs. She sighed and rethought about the crap she did before. She should've looked where she was running while looking in her bag.
"Is this holy water?"
"That one is, this is whiskey." Emma sat down and tried to hear more. Holy Water? Bobby told her to stay up till he tells her otherwise. This means, that something was going on. He usually trusted her with the one or other demon. But this one was something big, from what she could tell from her experience. Suddenly she heard Rumsfeld barking, but this ended within the minute it started. Then she heard a loud noise. She froze and heard a woman's voice. She had to fight with herself that she wouldn't go down. "Emma! Salt the windows upstairs and then come down here." Bobby said.
"Who's Emma?" Was what the girl heard before she started to do what she got told. Then she went downstairs.
"This is Emma. Emma, those are Johns boys." Emma stared at the two boys.
"Dean and Sam? I-it's an honor.", she said. Sam looked surprised at Emma.
"Err, nice to meet you…"
"I'll explain you guys another time. Come on, Emma, help me here with the salt." Emma nodded and followed Bobby. She looked back and accidentally ran into a doorframe. Emma heard the laughing from the blonde girl in the middle of the room but she didn't hear what she said. After a short while she and Bobby came back to the living room.
"Where is our father, Meg?" Emma couldn't believe what she heard. Dean and Sam looked for John? What was wrong?
"He died screwing me. I killed him myself." The blonde girl said and grinned. Suddenly Dean slapped her. Emma frightened about Deans reaction.
"Bobby, doesn't he know-" Bobby stood up and went to the room next to the living room.
"Dean…You gotta be careful with her. Don't hurt her."
"Why?" Dean didn't really want to hear it, he was too focused on being angry.
"Because she really is a girl.", Emma said.
"Exactly, she's possessed. This is a human possessed by a demon."
Dean looked back at the blonde girl. "That's actually good news."
(-)
"So, John Winchester is missing…?", Emma asked quietly while she listened to the interrogation and the threatening exorcism.
"Shush.", Bobby said and went to Dean, telling him, that they were going to kill the human which was possessed by the demon.
"Sam, finish it!" Dean said harsh, ignoring Bobby's concerns about the girl's life. Emma put her hand on her mouth and stared at the brothers. And suddenly there came smoke out of the girl's mouth and the demon fled out of her body. Emma stared surprised at the girl, who was still alive, but Dean kept on torturing her with questions while Bobby looked for blankets and water. When he came back he looked at Emma for a second, but she didn't realize he did that, so he just went to the girl and put the blanket over her body and gave her the water to drink.
"Sunrise…"
"Sunrise? What does that mean?" Dean asked. But the girl was dead.
(-)
"Take the book with you and take good care.", Bobby said while Emma was staying behind him and staring at the floor.
"Thanks Bobby, thanks for everything." Then both were gone.
"Are you alright, Ems?"
"What did just happen?" Emma asked.
"It's a long story." Bobby began and started with a short telling of the current situation.
"So, they got the colt and could kill the demon which killed their mother, huh?"
"Yes, but this demon, its something big. I don't know what's going on, but it's awful."
"Then I'll go and help them." Emma said, stood up and wanted to go, but Bobby held her back.
"You can't."
"But why not? Isn't this what you always wanted me to do? Isn't this what you trained me for? John trained me for?"
"Emma… I know you want to help them, but with how you trained you are no big help for them." Emma looked into Bobby's eyes.
"I know, that you are lying. Why? This is all I wanted to do, since I got here and you told me everything about my family's murderers. This is my whole life. And if this kills me, fine. But if I'm not going to them, I will hate me forever, for not moving a finger. I have to go."
"This is a fight they have to battle on their own." Emma was quiet. "Believe me, your time will come."
"Fine. I'm going to train then."
"You guys will meet again, I promise."

Chapter Two – In My Time Of Dying
(...)
Emma hit the punching bag real hard. Her heartbeat was unnaturally fast. But not because she was exhausted of the sport, but because she was worried and scared. It had been two days now and she and Bobby didn't hear a word from the brothers. When they two, a phenomenal team, would die, the world would be screwed. "Emma! We have to go." Emma turned around and saw to Bobby, who had appeared at the door.
"What?"
"Pack your stuff, then we drive to the hospital."
"Hospital?"
"I'll tell you everything when we drive there, now go get your stuff."
"Alright, alright."
(-)
Emma sat near John's bed and looked at him. He was badly injured, but not as much as his son, who was just laying in the next room. "Emma." John grabbed her hand and held it tight. "I'm glad I see you again. It's been a while."
"I missed you on my birthday party." Emma responded calm. She tried to act like everything was normal, but in fact John Winchesters current situation made her feel really uncomfortable.
"I know. I'm sorry, Ems." He said and smiled slightly.
"But I'm glad that you got the colt and almost the demon that killed-" Emma paused. "Your wife."
"You know that you are a real woman now? I remember the time when I first saw you. You were so little, so helpless." Emma frowned. Why did John suddenly start with old stories.
"I am not helpless anymore." She said immediately.
"No, you are not…" John smirked. Suddenly he started to cough and he had hard times to stop that. "Can you look after Sam and Dean?" The man asked between two coughs. Emma had the feeling he wanted to get rid of her.
"Sure." She said, being a good girl and walking out of the room.
(-)
Emma stood in front of Dean's bed, staring at his body. All the wires, the hose and the noises of the machines... "Its scaring, isn't it?" Sam said while he came in.
"Will he be okay?" Emma asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure…" Sam said weak.
"Maybe it's just something small. I mean, sometimes they put people into a coma and everything will be fine then."
Sam swallowed. "'They' wont help us.", he said then, sounding bitter.
Emma turned around and saw into Sam's sad eyes. "What are you going to do?" Sam looked at the brown-haired girl with skeptic in his eyes.
"You know about this stuff, don't you?"
"Yes."
"From Bobby?"
"Yes sir."
"What do you think?" Emma couldn't believe her ears. Sam Winchester really asked her for her opinion?
"M- me? I don't know…"
"Maybe his spirit is around, I don't know…"
"Then we should talk to it… Him." Emma said and left the room. Sam followed her with his eyes and then dedicated back to Dean.
(-)
Emma came back and gave Sam a brown bag. He looked into it and saw this game 13 year old play to get in touch with ghosts. "Glass moving?" Sam seemed to think shortly about this. "Thanks." He said then.
"I'll leave you alone, maybe he wont be around when I'm here too.", Emma said fast and left the room.
"Thank you, Emma." Emma went outside, leaning against the wall. She seriously didn't want to be in the room when Sam tried to talk to his brother. It would've felt weird, it in fact did when she just thought about it. Maybe it wouldn't even work, maybe it was a really stupid and retarded idea… "There gotta be a way… Dad knows what to do." Sam went past Emma and into John Winchesters Room. Emma followed him. Sam looked around confused. "Emma! Where did my father go?"
"I- I don't know. He didn't leave while I was here…" Sam started to go through John's stuff, apparently searching for something.
"Here it is.", he said slightly relieved and went back to Dean, Emma just behind him.
"Here is what?"
"My dads journal, maybe it can help."
"Help?" Emma repeated confused.
"It's a reaper…" Sam said and started looking.
"But Sam, if it's a reaper-"
"No!" Sam yelled, still focusing on the book.
"Sorry…" Emma whispered.
"I know what it means, but there have to be a way." After a while Sam put the journal away. "Nothing…"
"I'll call Bobby, maybe he knows something." Emma said and left the room. She leaned against the hallway wall and sighed. There was nothing Bobby could know, because you can't fight death. This was one of the rules that was important to Bobby. And he was right about that. Emma listened instead to Sam talking to his brother. He didn't want to let it go. He wouldn't ever be able to get over his brothers death.
(-)
"Dean… Help! I need help!" Sam screamed. Emma stormed into the room and saw that Dean was trying to breathe.
"What did you do?" Emma asked and stared at Sam suspiciously. But the doctors and nurses ran into the room already and shoved her out while Sam was staring at his brother. Emma looked at the closing door. "Guess its time to leave…" Emma said to herself. Bobby was waiting for her anyway…
(-)
"So, there was a reaper after Dean and he woke up?" Emma nodded while she drank a cup of coffee. She was sitting at the table in Bobby's kitchen while Bobby himself leaned against the kitchen unit. "You really shouldn't drink so much of that."
"Why? Could it kill me?" Emma said sarcastically.
"I'm afraid I know what happened."
"What?" Emma looked surprised at Bobby. "What do you mean?"
"I'm pretty damn sure John screwed around and…" Bobby stopped talking.
"And?"
"You know, you should never mess with death."
"I know, you told me that."
"John messed with it."
"You think?" Emma stood up.
"Yes." Bobby went into the living room. "Come to me, Emma."
"Y- yes.", Emma said and followed him. Her heart started to beat a bit faster. But if John did that…
"John told me to give you this, in case he dies." Bobby looked around and gave Emma an envelope.
"You think he died?" Emma swallowed hard and tried to push the feelings down which wanted to overwhelm her.
"There is nothing else that could've driven away a reaper than a deal. Read it."
"Do you know what it says?"
Bobby shook his head. "That's not on my business."
"But why did you say that my time would come? You must know something." Emma insisted.
"I have no idea what the letter says but I'm sure its now your turn to proof what you learned. That's what John and I trained you for." Emma nodded and opened the letter.
'Emma. I know you are something special, and also that you will become special to my sons, just like you are special to Bobby and me. Take care of them. I know that you are a talented Hunter. Your special skills will be very helpful for them. So I'm asking you to help them, because as you read this I myself won't be able to do so anymore. But I know and got the faith that you can. John Winchester."
Emma stared at the letter. "Are you okay?" Bobby asked, who wasn't sure what to think about Emma's reaction – or not reaction.
"Yes sir…" She said quickly, putting the letter in her Jacket-pocket.
(...)
Chapter Three – Everybody Loves A Clown
(...)
"Who is she?" asked Sam, while he ate a sandwich. Sam and Dean Winchester decided on staying at Bobby's place until they fixed the Impala, which looked awful after the truck rammed it.
"A hunter." Bobby answered and sat next to Sam.
"I figured that. But who is she? Your daughter?" Bobby laughed a bit.
"No, she is not my daughter. She is just someone I take care of."
"For how long now?"
"Quite a while, I don't know." Bobby answered quickly. "Look Sam, she wants to hunt. She really does. And she is good too. But I can't let her hunt alone." He tried to change the topic to the main point why he wanted to talk to Sam alone.
"So you want us to…?" The young man didn't finish the sentence as he was unsure if Bobby really meant that.
"Take her with you on the hunts."
Sam shook his head and stood up. "No, Bobby, we got our own troubles, we can't take her too."
"What if she can help you?"
Sam hesitated and turned around to Bobby. "Help us?" He repeated.
"Finding the demon." Sam looked confused. "How can she find it?"
"John said she can help you with her special skills."
"What? How? What did he tell you?"
"Pretty much that what I just told you."
Sam closed his eyes. "So," He opened them again. "We don't have to take care of her? She is just there, telling us some time where the demon is?"
"She is still a hunter, but she has no idea how it is to be in a real hunt." Bobby explained. "
Alright, we will take her with us. It's maybe no bad idea to have someone else with us…" Sam sounded thoughtful.
(-)
Emma was standing at the Winchester's Car and looked into the engine. At least the engine seemed to be not too broke, only a little something here and there. "Do you know anything about cars?" asked a deep man voice.
Emma turned around and saw Dean who was looking at her and the car. "What?"
"Because you are looking at her so closely."
"Oh, yes, a little bit. Bobby taught me some stuff.", Emma explained.
"He did? I thought he was training you in hunting."
"Oh, yes, yes he did that too." Emma said fast.
"I see. Well anyway." Dean took the roll board and slid under the car. The girl was a bit confused about Dean's reaction.
"I could help you, if you want."
"No, its fine, I can fix her myself."
"I never said you couldn't, it just would be faster if we-"
"It's alright." Dean interrupted Emma and she grimaced.
'No reason to become rude.' "Yeah, sure, I'm sorry." Emma was about to leave when Sam crossed her path.
"Dean! We are guests here, stop being mean to the girl.", he said, grabbed her arm and shoved her back to the car. Dean slid out from under the car and stood up, looking at Sam with a raised eyebrow. "Look, Bobby told me that she is very important, maybe she can help us finding yellow eyes." Emma froze immediately after Sam said that.
'What?'
"Oh, awesome, she will be our demon finder. And then? She goes first, figuring out if we can kill it and if not we just let her down? But even if we find him: We don't have the colt! So what? Hey Emma, can you talk the demon to death? It would be very helpful." Dean yelled angrily.
"I-"
"Okay, stop that. I know you are angry that we lost dad, but its not her fault. I cracked dad's voicemail code, listen."
Dean held the cell phone to his ear and listened to the woman's voice. "So what? A message that is one month old? How should that help us?"
"I looked for her name and location, Dad never mentioned her, but she apparently knows him. We should ask her, it's a track."
"Okay, let's ask Bobby if we can borrow one of his cars." Sam nodded and started going, Emma followed him.
"He's not gonna like it.", she said.
"What Bobby? I think he is fine with-" "
No, the only car that is working properly. Dean won't like it."
(-)
"I'm feeling like a freaking soccer mum.", Dean said while he got out of the minivan. They had arrived at an area that seemed pretty dead. Not much plants nor any houses were here.
"It was Bobby's only car that worked.", said Sam. "Open Emma's door, the kids security is on. Well broken, so constantly on."
Dean rolled his eyes and opened the door so Emma could hop out. "Why is she with us anyway?"
"I can wait in the car." Emma said, being meanwhile majorly annoyed of Dean's constant complaining.
"Would be better.", Dean said and went to the Roadhouse.
"Sorry.", Sam apologized and followed his brother.
"Oh sure, let the girl sit here, being all by herself. We are going to protect her by not being with her, haha.", Emma said bitter to herself.
Suddenly she heard yelling, grabbed a gun and ran inside the house. "Emma, run!" Dean said right when she entered the house.
"Emma?" Ellen put her gun down and looked at the girl. "Son of a bitch, so you are the Winchester boys, aren't you?"
(-)
"You shouldn't have come in. I said you should wait in the car." Dean rebuked.
"Why would you let her wait at the car? It's like leaving your best gun in the car.", said Ellen and gave Dean a wet and cold tissue for his nose. His nose pulsed from Jo's hit in the face. "I never knew you are so big already."
"Do you know her, Emma?" The girl shook her head.
"Really? You can't remember me anymore? Oh well, you were really little when we saw each other. Is she helping you guys with the demon?"
"Was there a big article in the Hunters weekly newsletter? Why does everyone know about it?", Dean mumbled.
"I had a track on him and told John, but you should know that, he wouldn't have sent you if he wouldn't …" Ellen paused and looked from Sam to Dean. "He didn't send you…" Dean and Sam looked at each other. "He is alright, isn't he?"
"No." Sam said.
"No, it was a demon we think. He got him before we could."
"I'm so sorry.", Ellen said, then she shortly glanced Emma to look for her reaction but there was none.
"Its alright." Dean answered.
"Really?"
"Really."
"I just knew how close-" "
Is there a way you could help them?", interrupted Emma now.
"Them? Well I can't help you. But Ash can."
"Ash?" Dean repeated.
"Hey Ash!" Frightened reached Emma for a gun when she suddenly saw someone moving at the billiard table.
(-)
While Dean and Sam talked to Ash, Emma sat there and looked at an empty glass. "Can I get you something? I got some nice gin." Ellen smiled at her.
"I- I'm not 21 yet.", Emma whispered nervously.
"Really? How old are you?"
"20.", Emma answered.
"That's sweet. Okay, want a glass water?"
"Sure…" Emma just wanted to have something to hold so she could hold tight on something. Ellen handed it to her.
"So, since when do you know them?"
"Sam and Dean? I don't know… Maybe… two weeks? Not very long." Ellen looked at her and petted her cheek.
"Well, John usually knew what he was doing, but holding you back for so long wasn't his best move."
"Holding me back?" Emma repeated confused.
"Well, I guess we have to wait now." Sam said and sat next to Emma. "Hey Ellen, what's that?" Sam asked while Dean was checking out Jo's butt. Emma felt really uncomfortable now. Sam was asking for a Job and Dean tried to start something with Ellen's daughter. And she? She just got left behind with Ellen's weird words about John Winchester holding her back. "Hey Dean, I think we got a Job here." Dean stood up and went to his brother. "Four people dead, not far from here. We should check it out." Sam also stood up and went to the door. "You guys are coming or what?" Dean and Emma looked at each other.
"What, her?"
"I can wait here for you guys.", Emma said and hoped she could talk to Ellen.
"No, take her with you. The more experience the better." Ellen said and ruined Emma's plans.
(-)
"I can't believe that." Dean muttered.
"Keep it down." Sam said, sounding strict. No wonder, Sam could probably imagine how much it hurt that Dean kept on complaining about Emma being with them.
"Working on a case like nothing happened and then with her too." Emma rolled her eyes. She got it the first time that Dean didn't like her, no reason to repeat it over and over.
"Dude, seriously, keep it down."
"I didn't ask you guys to take me with you." Emma now joined the offensive talk Dean started with her.
But Sam wouldn't let this happen. "You have to practice. If you are really that good like Bobby said, nothing will happen with you."
"Also Bobby and Ellen practically begged us to take you and Sam is too well educated to let a bagging go.", Dean grumbled.
"Okay, enough. We got a job here, alright? So." While Sam talked to Dean about the new Job Emma looked outside the window. Since when was she important for anybody? She has never been. She only got Bobby, a really strong authority. And now she should be important for two random boys she never met before?
"Taking this Job, playing babysitter for the little girl there. You are only doing this because dad wanted us to do that?" Dean shortly glanced Sam while asking that.
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing." The awkward silence stayed until they arrived at the Carnival ground.
(-)
"I don't like that you are with us on this case. You just stay in the background. Also, please try to stay alive.", Dean said before he walked into a tent. Emma made a fist out of her hands. Couldn't he just shut up? "Excuse me. Looking for a Mister Cooper, have you seen him around?" Dean asked the knife-throwing guy.
"What is this? Some kind of joke?" The guy asked sharply. Then he took off his glasses and they saw, that he was blind.
"Oh yeah, uhm, I'm sorry." Dean started to stammer.
"Don't you think I wouldn't give my eyeteeth to see Mister Cooper or the Sunset or anything at all?" The guy seemed to get really angry.
"Give me a little help here?" Dean whispered to his brother.
"Not really." Sam said and smiled a bit.
"Hey Barry, is there a Problem?" A little man came in and asked.
"Yeah, this guy hates blind people."
"No. no I don't." Dean said fast.
"Hey buddy, whats your problem?" Meanwhile Emma smiled too. It was funny to see how Dean suddenly became really small.
"There is no problem, just a little misunderstanding."
"Little?" The small guy repeated. "You son of a bitch."
"N- no, no, no, no, no. Someone just tell me where Mister Cooper is?" Sam now started laughing and also Emma snorted. "Please?"
(-)
"You," Dean turned to Emma. "You wait here."
"What?" But Dean didn't answer her and went inside the trailer. Sam smiled uneasy and followed his brother. Emma sighed and leaned against the trailer.
"Hey, you!" A woman came to Emma.
"Y- yes?"
"Follow me." She said and started walking, Emma froze for a second but then followed her. "You are here to help out, right?" Emma nodded and suddenly had to catch a broom. "Clean the tents."
"Yes ma'am." She started to clean and looked straight at the ground.
"Why are you here? Aren't you a bit young to be at a place like this?"
"Yeah, I know."
"You didn't answer my question."
"I don't know. I'm just looking for… I don't know, something that distracts me." Emma said.
"Bad past?" Emma nodded silent. "I think that's the reason for everyone here. You should fit in here perfectly." Emma smiled a fake smile and continued with the cleaning. "The two boys, are they your brothers?" Emma froze again for a second. Her brothers? Maybe this was the reason that John Winchester took care of her, maybe this was the reason why she was special for them…
"I-"
"Emma!" The girl looked confused around.
"They are looking for you.", the woman said, while Emma went outside. Dean and Sam ran to her. "What the hell? I told you to wait." Dean said upset.
"I'm sorry, I just…"
"Come with me, we have to get our equipment." Dean interrupted Emma and went away.
"He is pretty indignant at me, isn't he?" Emma said.
"Its not you, it's dad's death. Now come on."
"Yes."
(-)
"Okay, I'm going inside to check for any supernatural activities. Stay here." Sam paused. "Only here, okay?" Sam continued and Emma nodded. "This time really."
Emma nodded again. "Sure, sorry.", she added fast and started picking up trash. She looked around while doing this. Was there any kid that saw a clown that wasn't there?
"Hey." Frightened Emma turned around.
"So, did you see anything?", she asked immediately. Sam nodded and called Dean and while he told him Emma heard every word too. Remains?
"Dean will be here in a second."
"Mummy, look at the clown." Emma and Sam turned around and saw a girl who was pointing at… nothing. They looked at each other. This family would be next.
(-)
"Dean, wake up." Emma woke up too from Sam's saying.
"Okay, you stay here." Dean told her and grabbed a gun. Emma sighed and leaned back. Of course. She was nothing else but something Dean and Sam had to bear with. They went to the house and Emma was watching, as good as she could from the van, what was going on in the house. Suddenly she heard Dean shooting and then after a short while glass breaking. Emma wanted to jump out of the car but because of the child safety lock she couldn't.
"Damn it.", she cursed and tried to open the window, but Dean and Sam already came running to the car.
"Okay, salt didn't kill it.", said Dean when he started the car.
(-)
'I know what it could be. The kids have to invite them so they can get inside of the house. I know that Bobby-'
"Maybe a person, a creature."
"Does it say anything in Dads Journal?"
"No, nothing.", Sam answered and looked slightly back to Emma, then he took his phone.
"Who are you calling?"
"Ellen, maybe her or this Ash guy know." 'I know it… I just don't know exactly what it is.' Emma couldn't say a word. Of course not, she was no help. Even though she knew she heard about this she couldn't remember what it was. She went a bit slower, her backpack was a bit too heavy to ignore it, plus the sun was shining down on her really strong. "You think Ellen and Dad ever had a thing?" Sam asked and smiled a bit. Emma frowned.
"No way." Dean answered immediately.
"Then why didn't he tell us about her?"
"Don't know, maybe some sort of fallen out." Sam looked at Dean, then to Emma.
"Yeah, a lot fallen out, like Emma." Emma swallowed, but Dean didn't say a word. "Don't act all bothered, man."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean this strong silent thing of yours. Its crap, I'm over it."
"Oh god." Dean sighed. Emma went way slower right after this. She didn't want to be near them when they would start fighting. She felt uncomfortable around them anyway, but now they really started to fight and yell at each other. They suddenly stopped, so Emma did too and started staring at her shoes. "I just think it's really interesting the sudden obedience you have to dad. It's like 'oh what would dad wants me to do'. That's the whole reason we are here and why she is here. Last time you saw him you picked a fight with him and now, now you want to make everything right? I'm sorry Sam but you can't, it's a too little too late."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm dealing with dad's death, do you?" Sam froze and looked at his brother.
"I'm going to call Ellen.", he said.
"Right! Rakshasa!" Dean and Sam turned to Emma and stared at her.
"What?"
"A race of ancient Hindu creatures who can make themselves invisible. They feed on human flesh and can only enter a house when they have been invited." Emma explained.
"So they dress up like clowns so the kids invite them to their house." Dean said.
"Why didn't it eat the kids?" Sam asked.
"Not enough flesh? How do we find him?"
"They have to sleep on a bed made out of insects."
"So we are going back and look for some dead buggers."
"It's a bit hard to kill it though."
"Why?" Sam asked and suddenly took her backpack while they started going again.
"Only a crossbow blessed by a priest could kill it, or we find a dagger that is pure made out of brass." Emma explained and looked a bit confused to Sam and her backpack.
"Do you have that with you by any chance?"
"No, I don't. But even if we would have one, we don't know who it is." Emma answered.
"Cooper. When we were in his office, he looked a bit too much like his old dad. Also, I think where we might get the dagger."
"Can we be really sure it's him?" Sam worried.
"Oh Sammy, always into details." Sam smiled a bit. Emma couldn't believe those boys. Weren't they just fighting some minutes ago? "Okay, Sam, you go and have a look for those dead bugs in Coopers office. I'll get the knife." Sam looked to Emma, but she didn't say a word. "Emma, you will be at the carnival ground, stay close. We can't risk it that he will attack you." Emma glanced Dean and nodded then.
(-)
Emma was looking around nervously. Dean was just gone with the blind knife thrower and Sam was at Coopers trailer. She was never so close to a creature than now. She had to admit it to herself: she was a bit afraid. Training was never as good to train her for how real situations can be. Suddenly Emma heard Dean yelling. She ran to the door he and the blind guy went through and tried to open it. "Dean!"
"Step aside.", he screamed and broke through the door. He grabbed Emma and started running, but they ran into Sam. "Okay, it's not Cooper."
"Yeah, it's the not so blind knife thrower. He is here somewhere."
"Did you get the-"
"The brass blade? No, no, just one of these days…" Dean still held Emma's arm tight.
"What are we doing now?", she asked while she tried to control the shivering.
"I got an idea, come on." The three walked into the fun house, Emma still shoved around by Dean. In the funhouse a door suddenly closed and separated Sam and Dean.
"Sam!"
"Dean! Look out for the man." Sam looked around for the brass organ while Dean finally let go from Emma. "Stay here." He commanded and started wandering around. Emma looked for the Rakshasa but of course she couldn't find him, she couldn't see him. Suddenly a dagger came out of nowhere and pinned her to the wall. "Emma!" The same happened to Dean and he got pinned with swords too.
"Leave her alone!" Dean yelled.
"Where is he?" Sam asked.
"I don't kno-" Dean looked up and pulled a switch and suddenly steam came out of the organ.
"Sam, behind you!" Emma said before Dean could say it. Sam pushed the organ pipe hard into the invisible creature and it died suffering and screaming. Dean finally pushed out the knives and Sam helped Emma to get rid of hers. Heavy breathing she thanked him and tried to stay up. Her legs were shaking and powerless. They looked down to the organ pipe.
"I hate funhouses." Dean said and walked out.

Back in the roadhouse Emma sat far away from the boys. She was still pretty shocked about the situation. But especially because all the training she had was for nothing. Ellen walked to her and put a bottle of beer right in front of her.
"But I'm twe-"
"Its alright. You look like you could use some."
Emma grabbed the beer and clung to it. "Thank you."
"Is everything okay?"
"What? Yeah, sure."
"You look like me when I first time met a monster." Ellen grinned.
"No, no, it's fine, really. It was just something else than I expected."
"Alright then." Ellen said and walked back to the bar.
"Hey." And now Sam sat next to her.
"Hi."
"Beer? How old are you?"
"Not old enough, you can have it." Emma shoved the beer to Sam.
"No, I got one, I'm fine. But you can drink it. You look like you need one."
"I don't know…"
"Did you ever drink beer?" Sam asked and looked at Emma curiously. Emma shook her head. "But you lived with Bobby? Well, that's something I didn't expect." Emma stared down to the table. "I also wasn't expecting that you would be actually scared of this Rakshasa."
Emma looked up. "What? I'm not scared."
"The whole way back here you didn't say a word. And you still don't like to talk about it at all. It was a bit too much for you, wasn't it?"
"No, not at all. It was fine, really. Just… surprising." Emma smiled her fake smile. Suddenly Sam clinked with Emmas bottle.
"You should celebrate your first monster kill with beer."
Emma grabbed the bottle. "I didn't kill it, you did. So you should drink it."
"Where have you guys been?" Ash asked while he walked out.
Sam grinned. "Fine, then you will drink it when you killed your first, okay?"
"Sure…" Sam mussed up Emmas hair and stood up.
"What did you find out?" Sam asked and went to Ash. The girl followed Sam with her sight. Somehow this gesture made her feel a bit better. Emma now stood up too and went to Ash.
(-)
Emma sat at Bobbys table and drank coffee. Or tried to. The coffee was cold meanwhile and she didn't touch it. "So, Ash will call them when his computer program alerts him?" Emma nodded and stood up. She looked outside the window and saw that Sam and Dean were at their car. "Are you alright?"
"Yes." Emma answered to Bobby's question.
"You were in real danger with this Rakshasa. Not like on hunts with me. Are you sure you will be fine?"
"Yes, I am. People need to stop asking. Okay, I was a bit surprised about it, but that's it."
"I know too when you lie, you know." Bobby said and took the mug with the cold coffee and cleared it in the sink. Emma stopped looking outside, where Dean was attacking the car and looked to the table. "I should go train." She said and went outside. Bobby looked after her.

Chapter Four – Bloodlust
(...)
Emma sat at the backseat of the car and leaned back. Okay, it was pretty cool to drive with this car, but it was pretty weird how Dean called it his 'Baby'. "Got my baby back, we got a case, just a good reason to be in a good mood." Dean said happily.
"Okay, so, Emma, you stay in the car while we investigate."
"Of course." Emma sighed.
"Why is she with us anyway?"
"Dean!"
"Just let me out here, okay?"
"Don't be stupid, Emma."
"Sammy told me you have to kill your first demon, so we have to fix that." Dean said. Emma was surprised about Dean's reaction.
"I don't know…"
"Dad apparently wanted us to train you, so we should do that." Dean continued and drove a bit faster. Sam looked at Emma, who couldn't say a word.
(-)
"A vampire?" Emma repeated. They were sitting in the car on the way to a pub.
"We have to ask some questions." Dean got out of the car, just like Sam. Emma waited in the car. "Are you coming?"
"I'm not 21, so I have no reas-" Dean handed her a fake ID. "What is that?"
"Your new identity." Dean answered. "So, do you come now or what?"
"A fake ID card?" "You know about a Hunters Job, right?" Dean asked, while Emma got out of the car.
"So you guys lie?" Dean and Sam looked at each other.
"You got a lot to learn, girl. Now let's go." Dean walked to the pub, while Emma still stared at her ID card. "Come on, guys." Dean said while he walked in.
"A fake ID?" Emma repeated and looked at Sam.
"You'll get used to it." Sam said and went. Emma followed him.
"Three beers, please." Dean ordered.
"Two beers and one water, please." Emma said quickly. Dean looked at her a bit upset. The bartender looked at them and gave them the beer and the water. Emma tried to look like she was allowed to be here while the boys asked some questions. But this was the first time for Emma ever being in a pub. She was pretty nervous, especially because all the men looked at her. Suddenly Sam grabbed her hand. Confused about this Emma looked at him while Sam smiled at her. Somehow that made her feel a bit secure now.
"Okay, thanks." Dean said and they left.
"What are you? Stupid?" Dean started to moan outside.
"I-"
"She never drank beer or alcohol at all, leave her alone." Sam defended Emma.
"Where are we going?"
"Shush…" Sam grabbed Emma and shoved her into a corner. The three of them were quiet, but Emma heard her loud heartbeat. Suddenly the brothers went to someone who had entered the alley too.
"I'm not a vampire." The guy said. He pulled up his lip and showed them their teeth. "See? Fangless."
(-)
"Sam and Dean Winchester, eh? Your dad passed away, sad story, he was a good hunter. Who is this?"
"Emma. You sure know a lot about our family." Dean said and sounded suspicious.
"You know how hunters talk. But Emma." He paused. "Never heard of her."
Sam stepped in front of the girl. "This is not on your business.", he said.
"Your dad didn't tell you a lot, did he?"
"So two vampires, huh?"
"Look, I got this covered. I tracked this fang since a long time."
"We could help." Dean said. Emma froze. Vampires… That sounded… dangerous.
"I'm more of a solo hunter." The man got inside his car.
"I'll buy you guys a drink sometimes. And you will get a water." Emma turned red immediately. Then he drove away.
"Next time you just drink your beer, okay?" Dean hissed.
"Yes sir." Emma said and turned slightly red. That was embarrassing.
(-)
"He's here, we will get this, you stay here."
"Yes sir." Emma answered and watched while Sam and Dean ran to the warehouse. She didn't even try to argue. She had to admit: She was damn scared. A vampire was just something she was really afraid of. After a short while they came out of the warehouse, together with the guy they met before and Dean was covered in blood. They sat into the car and started to drive after the other car. "Wh-what happened?"
"Nothing. We got him." Is all Dean said.
"Okay…" Emma didn't dare to say one more word, also because Sam didn't seem happy. They stopped at the bar they were before.
"Come." Dean said and went out. Emma looked at him and then at Sam, who didn't look at her and just got out of the car. "Do you need like an extra invitation or what?" Dean said and went inside the pub.
"Sam!" Emma held him back. "What happened?"
"Dean killed him, he told you before." answered Sam and went inside too. Emma waited a bit. She couldn't stop thinking about how this was wrong, but then she went inside and sat next to Sam. She saw the beer and the empty glass, but she tried to ignore it.
"Lighten up a bit, Sammy."
"Yeah, he is the only one who gets to call me that." Sam said, his voice sounded bitter. Emma looked to him and saw that his face wasn't a happy one either. She thought that's what they would get happy about. Killing a creature.
"And you, little Emma? Grab a beer, celebrate too. I know you weren't there, but-"
"She's not in the age to drink beer yet." Sam said sharply and stood up. "Look, I don't wanna ruin your guys party. I'll leave and go back to our motel."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Emma? Do you want to stay?" Emma looked at Dean and Gordon.
"I'm pretty tired, I'll go too.", she said quickly.
"What is she? Your sister? Sam's girlfriend?"
"No, she's just a trainee we have." Dean answered.
Emma froze and rose her eyebrow. "Trainee?" She echoed.
"We have to go." Sam said and started walking outside.
"Emma." Dean threw the carkeys to her. "I'll catch the bus later." he said. Emma nodded, said politely good bye to Gordon and left the pub.
(-)
While they drove back Sam didn't say a word. Until Emma started. "Is that what you guys think I am? A trainee?"
"No." Sam said immediately.
"And Dean?" But now Sam got quiet. "You shouldn't take me with you to your cases." Emma said then.
"No, it's fine." Sam said and it got quiet again. They reached the motel. "Wanna stay in our room?" Emma started to blink nervously.
"S- Sure." She answered as fast as she could. Sam closed the door of the room after Emma entered.
"There is the bathroom." Sam said, sat down and grabbed the phone.
"Who are you calling?"
"Ellen." Sam answered and dialed the number. Emma went to the bathroom and looked at her reflection. A trainee. That's all she was. She was no big help for the boys at all. She was a freaking trainee. She didn't help them at all, she was in their way. Emma sighed. What was she even doing here? She should just go back to Bobby and forget about everything. Emma put her hands in her jacket, but then she felt the piece of paper John Winchester left for her. 'Take care of them. I have faith in you.' Emma read those words, but she couldn't believe them. John Winchester was a good man, he had always been so nice to her. He trained her a little bit too. But he never talked about his sons. And apparently he never talked about her to his sons either. "Emma?" The girl froze for a second but then went outside the bathroom.
"What did Ellen say?"
"She said we should leave Gordon alone. I didn't have a good feeling about him in first place but now…" Emma looked down. She had no idea what to say. She had an idea, she wanted to tell Sam to get the hell out of her, but she was pretty sure it was because she was freaking afraid of what was going on. All the hate Gordon started, maybe it would catch them… "I'll get us something to drink, I'll be right back." Sam said and went outside.
(-)
"Emma? I got you some orange juice." Sam entered the motel room, but nobody answered. "Emma?" But suddenly Sam got knocked out.
(-)
Emma woke up from her knock out and looked around. She was tied and saw right into a vampires face. It must be a vampire, because he got those teeth she saw when she was reading Bobbys books. Sam slowly woke up too, but he couldn't do anything, he was tied too and his mouth too. Emma started to shake. This was way more frightening than when they met the Rakshasa. The vampire came closer to Sam and Emma started moving hectically. "Step back, Eli." A girl suddenly said. Emma and Sam looked at her. "My name is Lenore. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just need to talk to you guys." She put Sam's tatter away, so he could talk. Emma still couldn't say a word.
"I might have a problem following you, I pay a little bit more attention to Elis teeth." Sam said and looked at the other vampire.
"He wont do anything, you got my word."
"Your word? Yeah sorry, listened lady, no offense, but you are not the first vampire I ever met."
"Well, I'm hers apparently." Now Lenore made it possible that Emma could speak again. But she didn't dare to. "Look, we are different than the others. We don't kill humans and we don't drink their bloods. We drink animal blood."
"What is this, some kind of joke?"
"She and you, you are still alive, noticed that?"
"Why are we even talking to those killers? They killed Conrad and celebrated it."
"Be quiet, Eli. Look, we are going to leave this city today."
"Then why did you bring us here? She wasn't even there, when it happened." Emma still couldn't say word.
"That's exactly the point. You seem like kind people. So we wanted to talk to you. You wouldn't follow us, you would just find us if we did something wrong."
"So you don't want us to follow you?" Emma finally said. Eli grinned and went to Emma.
"Leave her alone!" Sam yelled angrily.
"Like I said, we are not interested in human blood. We don't hurt anyone, so we got a right to live."
"Right, you keep saying that, but give me one good reason.", Sam demanded to know.
"Fine…" Lenore said and came close to Sam. Emma froze.
"You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to let you go." Emma and Sam looked surprised at each other but let it happen that they apparently took them back to their motel.
When the vampires threw them out Sam ran to Emma and looked at her neck. "Are you alright?"
Emma nodded. "I'm fine." Sam and Emma looked up to the motel room. The lights were on, so apparently Dean was back.
"I'll talk to Dean." Sam said and then he turned around. "Stay here, okay?... Well, stay at the light, so I can see you."
"I'm not a helpless baby, you know." Emma said, who finally found her courage.
"Alright, just… I'll talk to Dean." Emma leaned against the Impala and waited for Dean and Sam to get into a giant fight. Which the two got into just a minute later. Suddenly Dean hit Sam. Emma rushed to get to him.
"I'm going to that nest. You won't tell me where it is? Fine, I'll find it myself." Then Dean walked away, while Sam and Emma followed him. "Gordon!" Dean yelled when he was back at the hotel room.
"H- he left." Emma said.
"What?... He is going after them."
Emma nodded. "What, you too? Well, didn't expect more from you. I'll drive, give me the keys."
Sam looked at the place where he put the keys at. "He lifted the keys…"
(-)
"I can't believe that. I had to hurt my baby. And she is here too."
"Its four and a half minutes away from the bridge.", Sam said now. Emma leaned to him and looked at the map.
"Must be here." She said, pointing at a spot. Dean looked at Sam and Emma, which made her feel uncomfortable and she got back to the backseats.
"Are you sure, Sam?" Dean asked. 'Of course he had to ask Sam to get sure. I'm no reliable source.'
"Yes." Sam said and looked to Emma, but she didn't see him looking at her, she suddenly felt really pissed off. "I think what Emma said was correct." He added. But Dean didn't look up and just concentrated on the road. Sam tried to get Emmas sight, but all she did was looking outside. When they arrived Sam and Dean got out of the car.
"Emma?" Sam said.
"Its fine, I will just wait here till you killed the bad guys."
"Fine." Dean said. Emma leaned back.
"Emma, come on. This is the wrong time." Emma looked at Sam, who's eyes seemed to beg her to come with them. "Yeah, sure, sorry." She said fast and got out of the car.
The three arrived and saw how Lenore was tied up in a chair. "What's going on, Gordon?" Dean asked. Emma saw, that Lenore was suffering, but she suddenly felt Sam's hand, which was holding her back apparently.
"Just poisoning this bitch with some dead mans blood. Wanna help out?" Gordon answered and cut Lenore, who suffered from the knife cut.
"Hey, look man, why we don't just chill out." Dean said. Emma was surprised at Deans reaction.
"I'm completely chilled." Gordon said calm.
"Put the knife down.", Emma said and stepped some steps forward. But Dean held her back.
"Looks like your trainee needs to chill out a bit too."
"Just step away from her, okay?" Sam said. Suddenly Gordon reached for a new knife.
"Stop that!" Emma said and went to Gordon.
"First monster you are not afraid of, right? And then you are so caring." Gordon threatened Emma with his knife.
"She is no monster, she is innocent." Gordon laughed out loud.
"Hey, hey Gordon. You wouldn't hurt one of us, would you?"
"She is in my way, why wouldn't I? Dean, she is a monster and your little trainee tries to protect her."
"She is no monster!" Emma repeated, still the knife near her chest.
"Look, alright, the vampire that killed your sister deserves to die, but this-" Gordon giggled.
"Killed my sister… The filthy fang didn't kill my sister. He turned her." Emma, Sam and Dean froze. "So I hunted her down and killed her myself." Suddenly Sam grabbed Emma and stood in front of her.
"You did what?" Dean asked.
"It wasn't my sister anymore. And you would've done the same if you were me."
"You knew that they don't kill humans, didn't you? You knew they were just living here without harming someone." Sam asked. Emma went one step backwards. The brave Emma she was a minute ago was suddenly gone.
"What? You think they suddenly turned nice? Don't suck anyone innocent? And I'm supposed to buy that? That doesn't change what they are. And I can proof it." Gordon grabbed Emma and pointed the knife at her.
"Let her go." Dean took his gun and pointed it at Gordon. He just looked at Dean. "Now!" Dean insisted.
"I don't want to kill her. Just want to make a point." Gordon dragged Emma to Lenore and cut her arm. Emma's blood dripped on Lenore's Face and suddenly her fang showed. Emma couldn't move at all. "You still wanna save her? Look at her." Gordon said. Dean looked from Emma to Lenore and back to Emma. "So, the vampire or your trainee?" Suddenly Lenore turned back and looked away from Emma.
"No… no…" She said.
"You hear her, Gordon." Sam said and went to Emma, pushed her away and watched Gordon taking the knife away from her. "We are done here."
"Sam get them out of here." Sam got rid of Lenore's fettle and carried her outside. Emma still stood there, staring between Gordon and Dean. "Go!" Dean commanded. Emma nodded and stormed outside. Suddenly she heard fighting noises and wanted to run back. But Sam stopped her.
"Don't. He can handle it." But then the fighting noises stopped.
"De-"
"He's fine. Help me here." Sam said.
(-)
The boys stepped outside the building, while Emma was standing at the car. Then they reached the car. "Hop in, Trainee." Dean said almost happily.
Emma became a little upset again. "Trainee? What would you guys train me? How to kill innocent people?" Dean and Sam froze, while Emma got into the car. They both got into the car.
"Maybe she is right." Dean started.
"What?"
"I mean the way Dad raised us…"
"Dean, after what happened to mum… Dad did the best he could." Emma leaned back. Right, their mum got killed by a demon. Just like her parents. She didn't have the right to say that and she felt really sorry.
"But what if he raised us wrong? Killing those things, they are evil. When I killed this vampire, I thought it was good. Hell, I even enjoyed it."
"You didn't kill Lenore." Sam said.
"Because my instinct told me not to. If not I would've killed her, I would've killed them all."
"Yeah Dean, but you didn't, and that's what matters." Dean became quiet for a minute.
"Yeah, because you are a pain in my ass." Sam grinned.
"I guess we'll be a pain in your ass a little longer." Dean looked back at the house through his driving mirror. Then he started the car and they drove off of the landscape.
