CHAPTER 1

Black is the new saviour

'Marie will you just listen to me, I never wanted to hurt you it just well… happened, you're leaving soon so what's the damn point being in this relationship with you. I just can't I'm sorry'.

Marie just sat in a speeding car battling through curtains of rain with only one thing on her mind, Home and her family she knew something was going on long before she decided to go back to Scotland for the summer. But if Jamie would continue to drive like this, like a mad man, then her chances of making it to the bus station were becoming slim.

'Oh so this gives you an excuse to cheat! You know what Jamie I'm glad you and my best mate are having so much fun; I can't believe you, talking out of your arse. You are not sorry'

Jamie now was taking corners at dangerous speeds, and the rain in Kansas could seem to be tropic at times, there was a storm brewing, not only in the thick atmosphere of the humid summer weather but the atmosphere in the car.

'Jamie, dammit slow down!

'You don't like my driving then why don't you just get out!

He slams the brakes on so hard that Marie felt that her neck would snap with the force.

'Get out'!

'Are you serious you want to dump me off here?'

'damn right, I tried to tell you back at the dorms that I didn't want you to leave but you wouldn't listen, six weeks is long and Scotland is thousands of miles away, I felt that we can't continue what we have because of your infatuation with leaving at any given time, you had a life here with me and with your friends. So I looked to get companionship elsewhere'.

Marie felt the angry build up in her and with one swift blow; blood came bursting out of Jamie's nose.

'WHHHAAATT THE HELL! Jamie held his hands over his face coughing and muffling a moan.

'You think I would give up my family, my home to please you, so what I don't spend holidays with you, you selfish arsehole, I found out that since last time I left for Christmas you were sleeping with the freshman girls. The only reason why I stayed is because I actually cared for you. I thought we can make it work, I'm too much of a forgiving person, I never let on how hurt I was but I forgave you. And now you are sleeping with Kirsty, my best friend at that. I'm glad it's over, you are controlling and selfish and a liar'

With that being said Marie slammed the car door and dragged her suitcase out the boot, Jamie revved his engine and sped off, leaving Marie in a dark back road in tropical rain with her suitcase.

Pulling her suitcase alone a dark muddy road, making sure she stayed to the side as much as possible. Thunder and lightning was now at its peak and Marie was now terrified. She could never get used to this kind of weather, Scotland was wet and grey for most of the year. She was used to wet and grey placid weather. Now soaked to the bone, Marie started to shiver, she pulled out her phone with shaky hands to only realise that her battery had died.

'Just great, I'm gonna die on the side of this road' she thought.

She carried on with slow sluggish paces; she had been walking for only twenty minutes when a distant sound other than the rumbling of thunder pricked her ears.

'Yes a car finally'

ACDC Back in Black played in the distance, and the engine sounded loud and aggressive,

As Marie turned to see what was indeed approaching, a black impala came rocketing down a dark Kansas road. With music blasting as loud as the thunder and head lights that can blind.

She didn't like the look of this car, the situation now seem to radiate danger. She was alone and no one knew that she had been dumped at the side of the road. She quickly moved to the side to hide her self among the darkened bushes that lay at the far end of the road, banking off to the right. Maybe they wouldn't see her.

The impala seemed to rocket on by, passing her and disappeared over a dip in the road, relief is what she felt and sighed. No way was she going to become some missing girl on the news, hordes of search dogs and people searching for her decapitated body. Her uncle James would be the one to orchestrate that search. He was the one and only person in this world she cared about the most. He was mother and father to her and the kindest man in the world. So she had to walk fast and keep her head down. She needed out of this rain and she needed home, back to inverness.

'Hey did you see that? There was a girl' Sam said as he turned to look behind him.

'Yeah I seen Sammy could be a trap you know'. Sam frowned, 'I don't think so Dean, I mean c'mon its bad out there right now, and she could end up getting hurt, even worse'.

Dean didn't say anything. He just sighed and halted the impala to a stop, 'bet she will refuse to get in Sammy, two strange guys and one girl in a back road, in the dark. Yep that doesn't look rapey at all'

'It's Sam! And it's better than any other alternative she has right now, look I will go walk down see if I can talk to her, you stay here ok,

'Hey why do you get to talk to the chick, you're awkward with the female's Sammy'

Sam threw a bitch face and stepped out the car while shouting behind him. 'IT'S SAM!

Marie was exhausted, wet and freezing; she knew she still had miles before she would reach the bus station. Why didn't she just shut up in Jamie's car? Lost in her own thought she didn't notice a tall figure of a man approaching her until he was just a few feet away. Alarm bells of panic starting ringing. Fumbling in her jacket she remembered she had keys in her pocket, these could be used as a weapon, her friend terry told her that.

'remember Marie never walk in the dark wi ur head phones in, and always have ur keys handy, yi can always use them as a weapon'

As the tall man approached, she took a tight grip of her keys prepared to attack at any given moment.

'Hey, hey me and my brother seen that you. Well might need a ride, are you ok? Do you ummm need help?

Marie took a few steps back in a defensive manner.

'I'm fine cheers; I'm just heading to the bus station'

Sam looked at the road behind his shoulder. 'Hate to say this but that's at least ten miles north of here, it's a long walk and it's really coming down out here, I know it sounds like a bad idea, two guys in the middle of nowhere trying to pick up a girl at the side of the road. But I promise you, me and my brother we just want to help'

He raised his right hand in a gesture,' I'm Sam' putting on the puppy dog look.

Marie feeling utterly defeated at the fact that her journey would be a cold, wet relentless one. She raised her hand to shake Sam's.

'I'm Marie'….

Dean sat in the impala tapping his hands on the steering wheel listening to ACDC greatest hits. High way to hell, humming to himself, he was getting inpatient. He hated the idea of just picking up some random chick on the road. But his little over sensitive brother had other ideas.

Sam always had a big heart and big hair. The guy was a gentle giant for most of his life. But he also was stubborn and outspoken. This caused many arguments with their dad.

He loved him more than life its self and he would protect his little, giant brother till his last breath.

Dean was about to turn the car around to find his brother when he seen that he had indeed manged to persuade the girl to come along. Sam dragging along her suit case and smiling, she seemed to be smiling too.

'Well Sammy you dog'

Dean said to himself.

As Sam approached the car, he held open the back passenger side door for Marie. Turned on his heel and opened the boot and placed the suitcase in. Making sure he did this for obvious reasons.

Sam slid into the passenger seat, making squelchy noises on the leather.

'Wet out is it? Sam threw another bitch face at Dean and shifted to look at Marie.

'Are you ok do you need water or anything?

Marie shyly smiled, 'I'm ok thank you'

Sam smiled back. 'ughmm! Dean belted out. Sam rolled his eyes; clearly Dean wanted a grand introduction. 'THIS is my older brother Dean'

Marie smiled again shyly and didn't make much eye contact. 'Hello I'm Marie'

'Hey sweetheart' throwing her a wink. 'Where too'?

'Greyhound express bus station please'

Dean started his pride and joy and headed off, engine humming and Metallica playing quietly in the back ground. Window wipers squeaking and working to the max, the rain had no sign of easing off.

There was a silence between the three of them; Dean nudged Sam in a plea to strike up a conversation. It was getting kind of awkward. Sam glanced in the rear view at Marie who was looking out the window, still with a somewhat defensive manner, she no way trusted them, but she looked beat.

'So Marie, what were you doing out on the middle of the road in this weather'? Dean finally took the lead in conversation. Sam was taking way to damn long to speak.

'Long story, I don't wanna bore ya'

'Hey I don't mind long stories and it's a boring drive'

Marie shifted unconfutable; she didn't want to tell these guys her personal crap. She was still prepared to attack and she just wanted to get to the station.

'I had an argument with my boyfriend and he dumped me at the side of the road'

Sam looked sympathetic and Dean felt like a douche for asking, she clearly didn't want to say anything.

'Hey I'm sorry to hear that Marie' Sam said while giving evils to Dean.

Dean looked at his rear view mirror. Marie was looking at her hands rubbing them together, she looked nervous; she didn't want to be in this car.

'ummm that's sucks sweetheart, plenty more fish in the sea' giving her a little cheeky smile. Hoping it would ease her nerves.

'So Marie, where are you from? Dean asked changing the subject.

'I'm from inverness, in Scotland' she seemed to perk up slightly. Marie was always very patriotic. This is a topic of conversation she was happy with.

'I hear it's beautiful there, the loch ness monster is something I've always been interested in' Sam said. He always was into geeky stuff and the loch ness spiked his interest.

'Did you ever see it? Dean smiled from ear to ear.

Sam rolled his eyes. 'No Dean I don't think she did'

'Oh sorry Mr Geek boy'

Marie listened to the brotherly bickering, she smiled to herself. She guessed these two can't be more than their early 20s. Must be students themselves?

'Are you both students?

They both gave each other the look. Dean attempted to answer 'No, we are, well...

Sam jumped in 'mechanics'

'We work in the family business' Dean added.

'Ok cool' is all Marie said.

After nearly an hour of driving Dean's impala pulled up outside the bus station, Sam quickly went to the boot to retrieve Marie's suitcase.

Dean turned to Marie and smiled cheekily, 'so this is you sweet heart'

'Thank you' Marie was more than relived to get to the station safe.

Sam opened the door for her and handed over her suitcase.

'I hope you have a safe journey' Sam said 'it was nice meeting you'

'You too and thanks again'

Dean waved from his seat as him and Sam pulled out of the station.

'Well that's one good deed for today Sammy; I think I'm ready for my halo'

Sam just smiled. 'Yeah Dean you're a saint'

'Could you have been more geeky and awkward?'

Marie stood in a somewhat unnerving empty Bus station. She had missed the last bus for tonight. She was meant to be staying at her friends Piers place in Parkville for a few days before she headed to the Airport in Kansas City. But now she would have to wait 8 hours before her bus arrived. With no battery life on her phone, piers had no way of knowing if she was safe. She went inside the waiting area and asked the only other person than her if there was a pay phone.

The guy with the name badge reading Allan behind the safety glass seemed very unhelpful. He frowned at her in annoyance.

'Nope sorry it's out of order'

'Ok, well is it possible to plug in my phone so I can make a call, my friend will be worried'

'No, its policy we cannot charge cell phones, if we did it for one person we would have to do it for all'

Marie just gave out a sigh. She was already done with today's shit. So she thought she would be more forceful in asking.

'Well there is no one here. It's just me, can you not help me like! A bit of customer service goes a long way'

Allan laughed in a sarcastic manner. 'Customer service, really lady it's late I don't get paid enough to bend rules for you'

Marie just huffed and said something rude in Gaelic.

'grànda dinnsear'! (ugly ginger)

The guy just looked at Marie blankly and turned to read his magazine.

'So I think we might have a case. A Djinn by the sounds of it, three girls all 20 and all found drained and weak after going missing for 4 days, get this claiming they were all married to Justin Timberlake'

'Hey you know me Sammy. Three hot girls, I'm there!

'Yeah Dean, I know' Sam said while rubbing his head.

'Hey you ok?

Sam grimaced in pain. His eyes rolling in the back of his head, he yelped in pain and then he fell forward on to the dash board. Flashing images of Marie getting attacked by what looked to be a demon. She was held up by her throat gasping for air as the demon squeezed the life out of her. She fell lifeless to the floor.

Terror stricken, Dean slammed on the breaks of his impala and pulled Sam in an embrace.

'SAMMY! Look at me, what's wrong?

Sam breathless was trying to form a coherent sentence. 'Dean we need to get…get her safe, she….she, there's a demon. It's killing her. Its gonna…..Dean it's gonna kill her'

Dean scrunched his eyebrows together in a confused and worried look.

'Sammy what are you talking about'

'Marie! Dean, it's that girl Marie' with that being said Dean slammed his foot on the gas and did a 360 turn, with tires screeching leaving a trail of tire marks as he bombed down the tarmac.

Hope you enjoyed this first chapter. Just a quick note, Marie speaks in a Scottish manner. There will be some Gaelic thrown in too from time to time. Translations will be added. I will update next chapter very soon.
