Once You're a Hunter it's for Life

Sam watched the Impala drive off into the distance for the last time. A sense of relief surged threw his body. He was free. Free from fighting monsters. Free from not having any friends. Free from having to continue to take part in the "family business" as Dean put it. And most of all, he was free of his father. All they ever did was argue and when he told him "You walk out that door, don't ever comeback" that was it. Sam officially wanted nothing more to do with his family. Though Dean and John assisted Sam in moving into his college dorm there were no words exchanged between any of them. As Sam started to walk to his dorm he began to wonder where he would go from here. He didn't know what the life of a normal person was like since he was born into the life of a hunter unlike Dean, who got to be normal for four years. Sam was so lost in his own thoughts that he failed to look where he was going and bumped into a girl causing her to drop all of her books.

"I'm so sorry", Sam said bending down to help the girl pick up her books.

"It is okay" the, girl responded.

It was at that moment that Sam looked up to see her face and was immediately at a loss for words. Sam was staring at what he would describe as the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on. As Sam continued to stare the girl waved her hand in front of Sam's face and asked "Are you ok?" Sam nodded his head and outstretched his hand. "Hi. I'm Wam Sinchester. Er I mean Sam Winchester", Sam said correcting himself while mentally cursing himself at the same time. "Please to meet you Sam", the girl said shaking his hand. "My name is Jessica".

"Come on Sam we're going to be late!" Jessica shouted outside Sam's bathroom door. It was Halloween night and a big Halloween party was being thrown at the old abandoned section of the college campus. "I'll be right there", Sam answered back. He was taking so long to get out for two reasons. 1) He felt ridiculous with his costume choice. In all honesty he hated Halloween since it reminded him to much of his old life, but Jessica begged him to come to the party as she didn't want to go alone. And speaking of his old life the second reason he was held up was because he was using his laptop to study up on the abandoned building to make sure that there was nothing supernatural about it. He honestly didn't know why he was still obsessing with monsters, but he just couldn't seem to seem to let go. During his first month at college he instinctively grabbed a salt shaker when the lights in the cafeteria flashed on and off. He also beat the mess out of someone faking a demonic possession. He even drew a devil's trap under his bed which led to practically half the campus avoiding him for 2 weeks though they eventually got over it. "Sam. I'm warning you. If you don't come out soon I will have to do something I might regret later on!" Jessica shouted. "Like what." Sam fired back. "Well it would be very unfortunate if something bad happened to your family heirloom", Jessica threatened. At that threat Sam came rushing out of the bathroom and both he and Jessica stared at each other's choice in costume. Sam was dressed in a blue t shirt, a red jacket, and blue jeans. Jessica was dressed in a red tanktop, blue jacket, and blue jeans. "Well I guess you're a fan of Smallville as well", Jessica said. "Yeah I kind of am. Why the Supergirl look Jess?"

"Well I've always wanted to see her on the show and thought this is what she'd dress like. To be honest I'm not sure why I like her so much." Jessica replied. "I'll be right with you". I just need to check something first. "Ok Sam. Just remember what'll happen if you don't hurry," Jessica once again threatened. As Jessica walked out the door Sam checked his computer one final time. As far as he could tell the building checked out. He then walked over to his glass case, which contained what he called his "family heirloom" the claw of kripke. Sam remembered when he found this item studded in a box he overlooked while unpacking.

"How'd I miss this?" Sam thought to himself as he walked over to a box lying on the floor of his dorm that just had the word Sam written on it. When he opened the box he was shocked to find one of his hunting weapons in it. There was also a note attached to it.

Dear Sam,

I know you said you wanted nothing else to do with the family business, but I couldn't stand the fact of leaving you behind with no weapons of any kind. If anyone asks just say it's a family heirloom. Good luck with your new life. And if a girl named Sarah comes around asking about me just tell her it was a one night stand and it wasn't meant to lead to anything else.

P.S. Dad's finally giving me the Impala! Can you believe it!? WOOHOO!
