Lady of the Night
A Supernatural Story based on a Role Play
A/N: This story was co-written by my good friend Areiko. We actually did this as a role play and I couldn't resist the chance to write it, so I have her permission. I do not own Supernatural.
This is also a new writing style on my part. I'll jump right into the story, with flashbacks shown in reverse order. When you review, make sure to let me know how you like it.
Enjoy the story!
Chapter 1:
She is 26 years old, meaning her husband is 27. They think the world of each other, even if her brother-in-law makes it his mission in life to make fun of them at every passing moment.
They were married a week ago, and now, finally, they had stopped in a small town for their honeymoon. They got two rooms, one for the married couple and one for the brother. The motel wasn't very big either, but nothing was in this town.
You really didn't expect Hawaii, did you?
They got into town, and she went out for a walk while the brothers unpacked and prepared the rooms. When she got to the town square, she saw a news clipping. People were dying in this town at night.
She sighed, cursing. Another hunt. But maybe she could figure this out on her own and finish it quickly, leaving her the week to be with her husband. She had to prove herself as a hunter anyway. So she went to the nearest library- the only one that is- and started to read up.
It didn't take long.
Dressed in a denim jacket, white tank top, and jean shorts, she went out and quickly found her target. A demon. The demon was so fast, she couldn't shoot. She tried singing at the new hunter, but her power didn't work on her. She had come prepared with a tape recorder, recording the song. The demon screeched when she played it in reverse, and ran off. Words were obviously exchanged.
The hunter knew she had skills, she had inherited them. She went to a music store in town, where they recorded the song for her in reverse. She walked out, ready to finish it this time. No one was keeping her from Sam.
Her name was Danica Winchester. Well, it was now. She was nearly Sam's height, and Dean never passed up the opportunity to give her a noogie, which would mess up her short brown hair. That gave her the freedom to mock his music.
Danica walked around the streets, trying to find the demon she had been tailing all night. She lost it when she went to that store.
"I know I saw her… gah… Sam's gonna kill me for being out all night and not calling!" she sighed, stopping, "Guess I lo—" she was suddenly thrown against a well and pinned, the force pressing her face to the wall.
"Can't you just let me be?" a voice hissed. Danica squirmed, struggling to get loose. She turned to punch the source of the attack, knowing full well who it was, but her fist was caught and held tightly.
"Geez, you suck. I know you can do better than this. Maybe you're just tired… take a nap!" the figure slammed her head against the brick wall harshly, causing Danica's eyes to roll back as she dropped to the ground.
The figure was feminine, the cures gave her away. Her face seemed human, but her eyes were completely black. Not a shred of color. She grinned as she looked at the so-called hunter at her feet. Her red scales covered every inch from her collar bones down, leaving only her palms and fingers fleshy.
"Such a pretty little thing…" she knelt down and pulled out her wallet, looking at her identification "…Winchester…" she continued, looking at the pictures inside, "Well if it isn't the infamous Sam Winchester…" she chuckled, then stood, "Well I know what I'm doing now…"

"A honeymoon should be somewhere romantic, classy… come on guys, anyone for Vegas?" Dean looked back at Sam and Danica in the back seat of the Impala. She was leaning against Sam, and he had his arm wrapped around her. He swore those two were glued to the hip.
"You want to pay for it?" Danica asked, "Cuz in that case, lets try Honolulu."
"Point taken." Dean said, turning up the music a bit.
"The next small town is fine." Danica said, "We just need a private room for… maybe a week?" Sam grinned at her.
"That will do for me."
"A week? And what will I do?" Dean asked.
"Watch some girls showing their boobs and eat pizza?" Sam replied.
"Like he does everyday?" Danica grinned.
"Hey… just because its true doesn't mean you can make fun of me for it."
XxX
Danica groaned as consciousness came back harshly. Her head ached as she tried to open her eyes and look around.
"So you're awake. Good." The side of Danica's head was scraped, bleeding, and swollen from the brick wall, but she managed to open her eyes and look around. The demon woman was dressed exactly like her. She looked exactly like her too, except for her face. She was placing Danica's cell phone and wallet in her pockets.
"No you don't!" Danica tried to get up, but noticed she had handcuffs on, wrapped around a long pipe than ran from the floor to the ceiling of the room they were currently in. There were no windows and only one door, leading her to believe they were underground.
"What are you going to do about it?" the demon's face shifted to match Danica's perfectly.
"Don't you touch him!" she snapped.
"Oh I'm going to touch him… in all the right places." She smirked. Danica went to reach into her jacket, but realized her jacket was now being worn by the demon.
"I hope you don't mind, I figured you would get too hot in here with it on. Oh, look at this!" she grinned as she held up the tape recorder, "I don't think so, sweetie." She crushed the device in her hand, dropping it before turning and walking toward the door.
"I swear… I'll fucking kill you, you damn succubus!!" Danica yelled, pulling at the pipe and handcuffs.
"My name is Hex, and I'd love to see you try it." Hex grinned darkly as she walked out, slamming the door behind her.
Hex, now looking exactly like Danica, pulled out her phone and called Sam's number off her list, grinning to herself as it rang.
XxX
"You haven't heard from her either?" Sam Winchester sighed, "Thanks anyway Bobby."
"No problem kid. Let me know if she turns up."
"I will." Sam hung up and sat back down on the bed, running his hands through his hair. It was nearly twelve hours since he last saw Danica, and he had nowhere left to look.
When the phone rang he nearly jumped on it.
"Dani! Where the fuck are you?!"
"Sam! I'm so sorry, I was tailing this demon and things got out of hand…" it was then Hex realized her story wasn't too convincing, so she had to fix that. She looked around quickly before shifting a bit, so that her clothes were torn up and scratches formed on her face.
"You could've called!"
"I know, I know… I'm sorry…" she began to cry on cue, "I'm so sorry."
"Are… are you crying?" Sam was taken aback.
"I'm s-sorry… it's been a really hard night…"
"Where are you? I'll pick you up." Sam was confused by Danica's strange behavior, but this was her first solo hunt. There was no telling what this demon had done to her over the night.
That's a good idea… I have no clue where she's staying…
"Uh…" Hex looked around, "I-I'm really not sure… there's a liquor store… oh, there... corner of 17th Street a-and East Maple…"
"Wow… you're really far hun…" Sam sighed, "Alright, I'll be there soon."
"Th-thanks Sam… I can't believe I just broke down like that." Hex said, masterfully crafting her lies with years of experience.
"It's okay… you're still kinda new to this… I'll be there soon as I can. I love you."
"Thanks… I needed to hear that. I love you too." Hex didn't let her smirk affect her tone.
"Bye hun." Sam hung up, going to Dean's room to grab the keys.
"I'll be back."
"And where are you going?" Dean asked, stretched out on the bed and eating last night's leftover pizza.
"Dani had a hard time hunting last night. I can't believe she went out alone… I'm going to go pick her up."
"Ah. Poor kid. What was she hunting?" Dean sat up.
"All she said was that there was a demon."
"Well she should be fine now." Dean said, munching down on the pizza crust, "Demons don't normally attack in daylight. Then again, what kind of demon is it?"
"She didn't know. Guess I'll find out."
"Uh-huh." Dean seemingly lost interest as he flipped channels. Then again, Dani was fine now. Sam shook his head.
"See ya." he waved and walked out.
XxX
Where is that dude? Hex thought, thinking it was taking far too long. But right then, Sam pulled up and got out of the car. He looked down at, who he thought, was his beloved wife.
Damn... she looks like shit...
Putting on an innocent face, Hex looked up at Sam.
"Sam…" she let out a fake but convincing shaky sigh, "Thank goodness you're here…" she got up and walked a bit closer to him.
"What happened?" Sam asked. Hex shook her head tiredly. Again, fake.
"Trailing a demon all night… I wasn't ready for this, it kept getting away from me and it… it was hunting me more than I was hunting it…" She hugged him tightly, "I just want to get in a safe warm bed…" Sam hugged her back tightly.
"I knew you weren't ready for this Dani… I'll continue your hunt."
Why the hell is she acting like this?
"What? No! No… I can do this… just… not alone."
"No Dani, you're not ready for this. I'll finish the hunt with Dean."
"…Fine…" Hex caved, "Maybe once I get some sleep I'll feel better… think better…"
"Maybe… but still, I should've known that you weren't ready."
This can't be Dani… she'd be fighting me right now about doing this hunt without her…
Hex knew the male mind and could sense his doubt.
"I still want to go… I'm just so tired right now… too tired to argue with you about it…"
"Then let's get you back to the hotel. You can sleep in the car and I'll carry you to bed if you like." He grinned a bit and picked her up bridal style. Hex grinned a little and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"You spoil me." She rested her head on his shoulder, "And I will fight you about this hunt later."
Sam walked to the passenger side and managed to get the door open. He then put her in the front seat. Hex put on the seatbelt and snuggled into the seat.
This is too easy, even though he's thinking I may not be her… and I thought the 'demon king' was a threat…
Sam glanced at her as he began to drive back to the hotel. This didn't feel right. Something about his Danica just wasn't right.
Now to bring it on home…
Hex turned to face the window, and tried to keep from smirking.
"…Hey… Sam?" Sam glanced at her.
"Yes Dani?"
"I… I think I might be pregnant." Sam nearly slammed on the breaks, but stopped himself.
"You mean to tell me that you went on a hunt and you knew that you were pregnant?! You could've killed the baby!"
"C-calm down… I don't know for sure… I still need to take the test… but the demon cornered me and… and said she could smell it on me… you know I wouldn't hunt if I thought I was pregnant… why do you think I was so upset when I called?"
Sam just kept driving.
"Danica… you should know by now that demons are the masters of lies."
"I know…" Hex kept from grinning as she looked over at him, "Please don't be mad…"
"…I'm not mad Dani…" Sam sighed, feeling guilty about snapping at her. That is, if this was really Danica.
"She seemed so serious about it though…" she shook her head, "But… I can't be… can I?" she rubbed her face, "Damn demon…"
"Try not thinking about it. While you're asleep, I'll go out and buy a pregnancy test… but keep in mind, no matter how serious demons are, they lie. Trust me… I know."
"Yea… I guess I just let her get to me… I shouldn't have blurted that out like that anyway…"
"It's alright hun… you're not ready to hunt demons. At least not alone. And… in case this demon is telling the truth, I'm not going to allow you to hunt while you're pregnant…"
"I won't argue on that… but I really think I am ready… tonight was rough, but this isn't my first demon…" she moved over closer and rested her head on his shoulder, "…Can you still drive if I do this?"
"Yeah, I can still drive… but Dani, that demon was so long ago… you weren't alone… you were with me and Dean… and you died… you aren't ready."
Now Hex knew what Sam really thought about his wife's hunting skills, but she stayed silent. Instead of arguing, she snuggled into his shoulder and pretended to be asleep. Sam kept driving, glancing at her.
I don't know why but… this feels… off…
Hex was a good actress and once again hid a smile.
I'll start with him once we're alone in the hotel…
