Orgins

A/N: Sequel to Eyes of Fire and this time around, we learn more about Hayden and Aly. Here's Aly's bio (which I promised to make and never did). Oh yeah, and read Eyes of Fire before you read this.

Aly Marsden

Age: 16

Born and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Aly Marsden lived and brought up as a hunter, although it's not her idea of 'living'. Nor does she have the typical personality of one; Aly has a tiny attitude problem and is laid back and kind. Every now and then, she's a bit too naive and headstrong. She's just your typical teenager with a love of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, and some old rock like AC/DC, Kansas, and Triumph. In many ways, she's not typical. What not's so typical is her training; six years of karate, a year of boxing, and track (although she says she's slow). Aly also has a love of books especially Eragon, which she says is the 'holy grail of fantasy books'. What she is known for in the hunter community is her red or black bracelets and leather bracelet engraved with her mother's name 'Emily'.

Not much is known about her family other than her mother 'dying' in a house fire and her father being a famous hunter. It is also known that abilities run in the family, some getting theirs as young as ten.

Chapter 1: New Discoveries

Aly, Dean, Sam, and Hayden were back in Lawrence, Kansas gathering what was left of their pasts. They drove past the Winchesters' former home and Missouri's to find the Marsden residence rebuilt and empty. Seemed no one wanted to move in. They got out of the Impala and walked up uneasy to open the door. It was now or never, no turning back. Dean opened it unsure of what he would find. Luckily, there was nothing. He nodded and the rest came in. Aly and Hayden looked around, remembering every memory they had here. Memories of the fire flooded back but left in an instant. They went into their father's study, a forbidden room when he was alive. It looked the same. The same wooden panels on the walls. The panoramic windows that covered the front of the room. Nothing had changed. They looked around seeing the new sight. Aly looked on a bookshelf, scanning for any book or journal. Soon, she found what she was looking for. A worn leather bound journal dated 1985-2007. She grabbed it and other books then went to her room, soaking it all in for one last time. She then went out and down the stairs, intending not to stay for too long.

Sam and Dean meanwhile searched the house for any omen, demon, the usual but to their dismay, there was none. They saw Aly come down the stairs, with books in her hands. That was typical of her but one of them was a journal.

"So that's all there was in the 'forbidden' room?" Dean asked.

"There's more but they're all the same. It was like my dad to keep book after book." Aly said. "I'm ready to head out."

"What your brother?" Dean said.

"He'll be awhile." Aly replied.

Later that afternoon, they left their hometown, hoping they wouldn't have to return. Hayden clutched his dad's journal, wanting to know about what his father thought and felt, especially after he left. There would be more in there, judging by the weight of it but he would find out soon enough. Aly didn't seem to hold an interest to it, she was just staring at the road. Soon, Kansas was behind them and Texas was in their view. Dean stopped off at a motel, checked in, and laid on one of the beds. Sam followed suit and then him and Aly were the only ones awake. He opened the journal and read the first entry.

July 1985

Emily and I just brought Hayden home and we have no idea what we're doing. I'm just glad we have our boy though, he has a bright future ahead of him. Right now, everyone in our family is doting on him, saying he looks like me. Where did they get that idea? He looks more like his mother than me. The hair, nose, and face are mine but those brown eyes are his mother's. I hope I can be the best father to him.

He skipped ahead to 1991, when Aly was born. They were born only a week apart, but six years apart. The entries there were the same anxious tone, not knowing what future held for him.

July 25,1991

Just like before, Emily came home with our newest addition, Alyson Nicole Marsden, born on July 23. She looks like her mother and they share a middle name. We wanted to use her first name but Em said it didn't flow as well as Nicole. We've survived six years with a boy but with a girl, we'll just have to see. For now, I'm happy and try to be a hunter and a father.

Hayden read one more entry before going out for some air. What he found out about his dad surprised him; he was certainly never a writer and was brief in his entries. Maybe at the time he was tired.

January 23, 1991

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, tragedy struck. Something killed my wife and kids, a demon. Everything was normal before this but tonight things changed. Mike and Katie Daniels are helping us right now and have taken to Aly and Hayden like second parents. They don't seem to mind the attention right now. They need after what happened. They don't have a mother and they don't have me anymore. I'm hunting more and more and Hayden keeps asking me where I go and why I'm not there all the time. It's killing me to think that he has to ask that.

Hayden shut the journal, out of regret. His dad acted the way he did because of what happened to their mom, he left because he felt that he was being too much of a hunter and not a father. He couldn't shut out his dad's angry words You just walk on out, Hayden, I don't give a damn anymore.
