Dear reader,

This story idea came to me on my 21st birthday in a dream after drinking way too much and then watching supernatural. I do not expect this story to follow any sort of timeline relevant to the show. Although other than adding in a few characters of my own, I will attempt to keep true to the original characters of Supernatural and the story thus far. Keep in mind I am currently on season 7 episode 21, but I'm willing to spoil it for myself to keep relevant for those of you that are up to date with the show. At this point, I would like to point out that I do NOT own any Supernatural characters or anything to do with the Supernatural franchise… I just own my drunken dreams… Thank you for reading this story. This is my first story I will ever have put on the internet and I hope you all enjoy it. With that said, constructive criticism I can handle, in fact, I welcome it! I, however, do NOT tolerate bullies. So please be nice, and we can all have a fun time here. Again, thank you for reading my story. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

Jamie Winchester was tall with long dark hair and bright green eyes that could see into your soul. She had a talent for being a human lie detector, nothing got past her. Also, she was a talented artist. She loved to doodle on her tests, which got her in trouble more than once, though she was a very bright girl. She was a straight A student.

Although she had many talents she had a rough life already. She didn't know who her father was, though she had inherited his last name for some odd reason. Her mother always said she at least owed him that much to give her his last name. She planned on changing it to her mother's maiden name when she turned 18, which would be a week after her graduation. Her mother, Julia Forman, was a single mom working as a mail lady in a small town in Iowa.

Jamie couldn't recall a single time when they had ever left Iowa, no vacations, or even day trips outside the state. Once when the school had planned a trip to Washington D.C. for their sophomore history class her she had told Jamie that she just couldn't afford to send her, so she was the only student in her class that didn't get to go.

Also, Jamie was often bullied in school because she had this obsession with the supernatural. She never quite understood where she got it from, but Jamie always was on the computer in the library at school during lunch looking up local lore and foreign myths and legends about all sorts of things that go bump in the night.

It had been a long terrible week for Jamie Winchester. Her mother, Julia, who is now deceased, had passed in such an unexpected way. When she had gotten called to the principal's office, Jamie thought she was in trouble for what she had put as her senior quote for the yearbook, which was:

"Eat my shorts!" – Bart Simpson

She thought it was fitting for that situation since the principal's last name was Skinner, just like in The Simpson's T.V. show.

When Jamie arrived at Principal Skinner's office she started to explain herself. "Mr. Skinner, I thought it was funny I didn't mean anything bad by it. I just thought the other kids would get a laugh out of…" Then she saw who was standing by Principal Skinner, it was a tall yet chubby man with slicked back black hair underneath his uninformed hat. "Sheriff Rodriguez, what are you doing here?" Jamie asked puzzled, "This isn't about my senior quote, is it?" she said nervously. That's when she heard the words she'd never thought she'd hear, ever. She couldn't make any sense of it, she couldn't believe it.

"Jamie, I'm so sorry. Your mother… She was out on her new mail route, it was assigned to her just this morning… Sheriff Rodriguez here found her mail truck with her GPS in it." Mr. Skinner explained. Then Sheriff Rodriguez chimed in "We believe it malfunctioned and ended up making her take a wrong turn. She ended up on the old highway in the woods with a flat tire… She must have gotten out to fix it… And well… It seems as though there was an animal attack… We need you to come down to the station and identify the body for official purposes... I'm so sorry Jamie. I know this may be a shock to you. It is to all of us…"

After that, all Jamie could hear was the grown-ups talking like they do in the Charlie Brown cartoons. She couldn't move. She was tense, sick to her stomach and felt like she wasn't breathing. She prayed to God that it wasn't her mom. "It couldn't be!" she thought. "This was some sort of mix-up or even a cruel joke! This just couldn't be real!"

When she got in Sheriff Rodriguez's patrol car, she almost couldn't keep it together. The tears were starting to roll off her cheeks. As they drove away from the school, Jamie just kept thinking to herself, "This is a nightmare! This can't be real!" she was basically shouting it in her head.

The car ride felt like an eternity, even though it was only a 15-minute drive from the school to the sheriff's department, which had the morgue and the funeral home both attached to it. Once they pulled into the parking lot, Jamie could feel her heart beating fast. It felt like it was going to come right out of her chest and land on the pavement in front of her. When she walked through the doors of the sheriff's department, everything turned into slow motion. In an instant, everyone stopped what they were doing and just looked at her. Jamie could see the words "I'm so sorry" in everyone's eyes as she passed by. Then she saw it, hanging above the door to her fate, the red sign with white letters spelling out the word "mortuary". Jamie looked around the room one last time, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

Inside, she found the room was extremely well light with bright white fluorescent lights. But despite the bright lights, it was ice cold and the air was bone dry in the morgue. Jamie blinked several times, trying to adjust her eyes to the light while holding back tears. She then looked and saw a slender gray-haired woman with tiny red reading glasses and a white lab coat on sitting at a desk reading a newspaper. Jamie stood there for a moment looking at the woman, dreading what was to come next. Then Sheriff Rodriguez came in right behind her. He looked at the lady for a moment and then cleared his throat. The woman looked up from the paper and smiled when she saw the sheriff, then she looked at Jamie, and her warm smile quickly faded to a grim look of pity. "Doctor Montgomery." Said Sheriff Rodriguez, and tipped his hat to the lady. With a southern accent so sweet it would give you a toothache, the Dr. Montgomery said, "Mr. Rodriguez, is this Miss Winchester?" she looked hopeful that Jamie wasn't who she thought she was. But to Dr. Montgomery's dismay, Sheriff Rodriguez nodded and said, "This is Jamie Winchester." He then added, "We should probably head to the room and identify the deceased, it's been a long day for Jamie here and…" Dr. Montgomery raised a hand to silence him and said "Say no more. We'll get this done quickly. This way Miss Winchester." She motioned for Jamie to follow her.

What happened next was the worst emotional pain Jamie had ever felt in her entire life. As she walked over to the silver metal table Dr. Montgomery directed her to, she felt numb. All she could see for the moment was a white sheet covering up a lifeless cadaver under the overly bright lights. Then it happened, Dr. Montgomery removed the sheet. The emotions hit Jamie like a semi-truck going 90 miles an hour down the interstate. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart felt like it stopped beating. Just a moment ago the lifeless figure was just a body under a sheet. But now, seeing her mother like this for the first time, she couldn't handle it. She broke down. Her mother, the only family she'd ever known, was gone.
