Chapter 1

I didn't know what was going on. All i knew was that i wasn't me. Something else was inside me, controlling me. The last thing i remembered clearly was dragging Dominica to a club. She was griping about not being a "club person", and i was telling her to "loosen the hell up". Then I remember seeing this black smoke floating toward me, and thinking there was a fire, then nothing.

I keep getting these flashes, though. Flashes of what seem like memories. I see myself doing the most horrifying of things, except i'm not me. I sound like me, and i look like me. Well, almost. There's something wrong with my eyes. They're black, completely black.

I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly i found myself back in my own body. I opened my eyes and groaned. Everything was crying with pain, and i seemed to be unable to move. As my eyes focused, i screamed. Standing before me were two men each holding a rather large knife.

"Oh god, what have you done to me?" I cried.

The younger looking of the two, a long haired man in a flannel shirt and plain jacket, dropped his knife and moved to kneel in front of me.

"It's okay. Don't worry, we're trying to help you and your friend." He said, softly.

I whipped my head around at the mention of a friend. Sitting beside me, tied to a chair, was Dominica. She appeared to be passed out.

"Help us?" I screeched as i turned back to face him. "Who are you? Why can't i remember anything? Why are you hurting us?"

I began to struggle against the ropes that held me down. The man shushed me, and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You and your friend were possessed by demons, and we're trying to help get it out of you. They've been in you guys for some time, a month we think."

I flinched at his words. I couldn't deny it. I knew what he was saying was true, because i could feel it. Somewhere in the back of my mind, it was still in there. The thing that had taken over me. The demon.

"10 points to the younger Winchester for working out how long we've been using these meat bags!" A voice sing-songed.

It sounded like a mangled version of Dominica's normally chipper tone. I turned my head and saw she was sitting up straight. Well, her body was. It certainly wasn't my best friend sitting beside me. It was something else. A demon with pitch black eyes.

It turned to me and giggled.

"Don't look so sad, Ro." It said. "It's me, Nica."

I cringed as it grinned. I turned back and shouted at the men.

"Get that thing out of her!"

The older of the pair, a short haired man in a dusty leather-like jacket and plain shirt moved over to her. He held an ancient looking book in his hands and opened it. I could feel the creature in my mind shiver in fear as he began to speak.

"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus..." He began reciting this weird chant.

The thing in Dominica screamed for a moment, before it threw it's head back and black smoke flew from its lips. I was lost again, this time only for a moment, as a black smoke came from my lips as well. It was over, the demon had left my body. It's memories, however, had remained. My eyes began to droop. Getting possessed sure takes a lot out of you, i thought as sleep claimed me.

I woke up what felt like hours later in another unfamiliar room. I sat up and noted that i seemed to be in some sort of motel room. There were two beds and a small tv, with a dining area and a bathroom to the side. I gasped as i noticed a body on the other bed. It took me a second to recognize it as Dominica.

I rushed over to her side, and gently shook her awake. She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Aurora?" She murmured. "Where are we?"

Just as i was about to answer, the door of the room opened and two men walked in. I immediately recognized them as the men from my last bout of consciousness. That's when the rest of it came back to me. Waking up, the demon, and being saved by these men.

"You're awake!" The younger of the two stated, surprised.

I nodded, and gave him a light smile.

"Not that i'm complaining about waking up in a room with two rather gorgeous guys, but can someone tell me what the hell happened.? Who are you guys?" Dominica asked. "And why do i remember doing some seriously messed up shit."

I looked over to the men, raising an eyebrow at the younger of the pair. I wanted an explanation as well.

"I'm Sam." He said, motioning to himself and the man behind him. "This is my brother, Dean."

Dean nodded in greeting, and walked over to place their bags on the now empty other bed. He walked over to the fridge and grabbed a few beers and then placed them at the small dining table. He motioned for us to join him and Sam. We sat with the guys, sipped at our drinks, and began to ask them questions about our experience.

"Why did they make us do those things?" Dominica asked, shivering slightly. "Why us?"

I looked over at them curiously, i had been wondering about that too. My memories of what the demon had done had remained, just as Dominica's seemed to do.

"Honestly, we can't tell you why you were picked. It's something that only the demons know. What we can tell you is that you're safe now." Sam said.

I glanced at Nica and we shared a small relief filled look at the thought of no longer being in danger.

"Well, how did these demons even get here and get to us?" I questioned, turning back to face Sam.

"There, uh, was an incident. All these demons got loose from a gate to, well, Hell. We've been tracking them all down, trying to get rid of as many of them as possible. We found your trail about 3 days ago. From what we could tell, you'd been possessed for just about month before we got here." Dean explained.

Our mouths gaped open slightly as we began processing what Dean told us.

After about an hour of asking the Winchester countless questions about our experience and what they knew about this sort of occurrence(the explained what hunters were and what they did), we decided to finally go home. Dean and Sam offered to give us a ride, and led us outside.

"Nice car, dude." Dominica commented, as we approached a sleek, black Chevy Impala.

Sam threw her a look that screamed "don't get him started".

I chuckled and smiled apologetically at Sam as Dean began to go on and on about "his baby". Dominica watched Dean talk with a smile on her face.

We got into the car and began driving, Dominica and I taking turns giving Dean directions. We had been on the road for a few minutes, making light conversation, when Dean decided to turn in the radio. Dominica bobbed her head and I began to sing along as 'You Shook Me All Night Long' came on the radio.

"You girls like ACDC?" Dean asked, looking at us appreciatively.

We nodded and he grinned at us, then began singing along. The rest of the car ride was spent with Dean, Dominica, and I singing loudly and off key to classic rock song. It took some nudging but I eventually got Sam to sing along with us. We had just finished off 'Sweet Child of Mine' when we arrived at our house. Sam got off the car and let Dominica and I out. We stood by the car and watched as Sam got back in.

"You should stop by and see us before we leave." Sam suggested, leaning out of the car window.

I turned to Dominica to get her opinion, and she nodded at me. I turned back to Sam.

"We'll definitely do that." I said with a smile.

Dominica and I then got out of the car and headed into the house.

When we entered the house I immediately headed for Dominica's room. She stopped to turn off our porch light then followed after me.

"Soooo, are we gonna talk about it?" She asked, nudging my shoulder with hers as she passed me.

I sighed and sat down at the foot of her bed.

"Talk about what?" I replied.

I began to fiddle with the edge of her covers.

"What we did."

My hands paused their motions and i stood up, whipping around to face her.

"WE didn't do anything, demons did. That's it, end of discussion." I snapped.

With that said, I stalked off toward my room.

I emerged from my room half an hour later, showered and refreshed. I had changed out of the tight black dress I had been in, and into a medium-length white skirt and plain blue tee.

I walked across the hall to Dominicas room and smiled at the sight of her. She too had showered and changed out of her "demon outfit". She was now wearing a pair of faded jeans and a red top.

"Hey." I said. "I'm sorry about earlier."

She smiled back at me and shrugged her shoulders.

"It's cool." She replied. "You ready to go see the Winchesters off?"

I shook my head.

"Not just yet. I thought of something while I was getting ready, and if you're up for it we're gonna need a little more time to get ready."

Dominica raised an eyebrow at me quizzically. I walked over to her and quickly explained my plan. She looked hesitant at first, but then quickly nodded her agreement. With that, we set to work on our mission. We had to hurry if we wanted to be prepped and still have one to say goodbye to the Winchesters.

We approached the boys as they were preparing to leave the hotel parking lot. Dean smiled in our direction. Sam opened his mouth to greet us, but Dominica spoke before he could.

"We want to come with you." Dominica said.

I stood beside her and nodded.

"What?" Dean asked, disbelief clear in his voice as he frowned.

"Look, we have no one but each other and no ties to this town. Please, we've been through so much. We wouldn't even know how to go back to normal after this. Let us come with you, we could help. We want to help. No one should ever have to go through what we did. If we can help you on your hunt for all these demons, we could save so many people in the process." I pleaded.

I glanced up at Sam, he looked sad and almost sympathetic. Dean, on the other hand, looked pissed.

"I'm sorry, but no." Sam replied, as he loaded another of their bags into the car.

Dean crossed his arms..

"I'm not sorry. The answer is definitely no." Dean huffed. "Look, you girls have no idea what this life really is. You'd do more harm than good if you came along. Stay home."

The girls exchanged a glance before looking crestfallen and nodding.

"Well, it was worth a shot." Dominica sighed.

Dean raised an eyebrow, suspicious at the fact that the we had given up so easily. Sam loaded the last of their equipment into the Impala and slammed the trunk. He turned to us and smiled softly.

"Well girls," He said. "Stay safe."

Dean reached into the pocket of his jacket and then held out a card. Dominica reached out and took it and i grinned as i noticed the number on it.

"If you're ever in this kind of trouble again, you'll know where to reach us." Dean stated.

We nodded, and each gave the boys a hug. Dominica and I stood in the parking lot, arm in arm, as they drove off. Once their car had gone from our sight we turned to one another.

"We're not going to listen to them, right, Ro?" Dominica asked.

I rolled my eyes.

"Of course not." I replied. "We're gonna go out there and we're gonna save some people from some demons. No one else will have to do what we did. Not if we can help it."

Dominica nodded. I grabbed her hand a gave it a light squeeze before letting go.

We walked over to the car and got in. I checked the backseat and everything was where we left it. All of our belongings were packed and we were ready to hit the road. We were going hunting, with or without the Winchesters.
