Disclaimer- I don't own Supernatural, or Sam, or Dean, or City Limits Diner (Yes, it's a real place. There are two, and they're both in Michigan.), or...well...anything, except for my own words and this, and vision-girl, and whatever else I deem mine. Get it? Got it? Good.

Chapter One: Perfect Timing

A girl sat, looking up at him through her chestnut hair, holding an unconscious and bloodied Dean in her arms.

"You have to do it, Sam. You have to help him, he's going to die!"

He looked down into her teary hazel eyes, but said nothing.

"Sam, he's still your big brother--you're still in there, I know you are. Please."

She caught a glimpse of the yellow in his eyes.

"Fine. Not that this will help probably," she pulled a needle out of her nearby purse and drew some of her own blood, and then proceeded to inject Dean with the syringe, her eyes never leaving contact with Sam's.

----

"Sammy! Are you okay? What'd you see?"

"Uh..." Sam attempted to gain his composure again.

"What was it?"

"You were dying...and I could help you, but I wouldn't, or...couldn't. I think I was possessed or something. This girl...she was asking me to help you, and she..." he paused to look at Dean for a moment.

"She what? Was she hot?"

Sam resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "This is serious, Dean. She injected you with her blood, said something about how it may or may not help you..."

"Any clue as to where we can find this girl?" Dean looked up at his brother.

Sam remembered the girl pulling out a napkin with the needle, which read "City Limits Diner, Tecumseh, Michigan."

"Michigan," Sam said thoughtfully.

"Michigan?"


Author's Note- It's short, I know. It's kind of a little prologue, ish. Anyway, I have chapter two and most of three (I think, anyway) done. And what I mean by "I think" is that I may end up writing a lot more. So far, the chapters get somewhat longer as they go. Chapter two is pretty short also, but not as short as this one. Anyway, reviews anyone?
