Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural or its characters/plot. I DO own my OC Viola Carroll and added things.
I have another Supernatural fic I'm going to be posting that follows the whole series with an OC but there will be plot changes and a whole cool thing with the OC. It's called The Sabrina Moore Chronicles: Book 1. (Each season will be a "book") and as you can tell the OC is related to Jessica. (Same last name.) THIS idea for this story came to me when I couldn't fall asleep one night.
Please no flames, this is my first Supernatural fan fiction, constructive criticism is appreciated.
Summary: All Viola Carroll wanted was one of three wishes; instead she got all three in exchange for a job from the King of the Crossroads. Starts in "All Dogs Go to Heaven." Season 6+ OC/ Undecided(but multiple).
Viola finished burying the small box at the crossroads and stood up. She looked around before muttering to herself.
"How long is this supposed to-" Someone cleared their throat and she whirled around. She looked at the woman standing before her. She was average height with long blond hair and completely red eyes. She blinked and they became normal brown eyes. She had her arms crossed.
"What can I help you with, sweetie?"
"You're a demon, yeah?" The woman gave her a look. "Right. Okay uh one thing before I tell you what I'm here for… uh." Viola swallowed, this was much easier in her head. "Okay I have three things I want, but I know I can only get one." She said quickly. The woman nodded. "Before I ask for one could you help me pick one?" She asked with a hopeful yet sheepish smile. The woman shrugged.
"As long as I get your soul it doesn't matter to me." She said with a smirk. "Let's hear 'em."
"Okay the first one is to have combat training like to be really good at fighting hand-to-hand combat and gun training ect. The second is kinda lame and it's to be a master at lucid dreaming." The demon raised an eyebrow. "The third is equally lame if not more and it's to find… true love." The demon held back a small laugh. Viola put her head down slightly and put and hand over her eyes. "I know it's stupid but-" She looked up and the demon was gone. She frowned and looked around quickly. "The hell?" She turned around and jumped with a gasp when she came face to face with someone else. A man in a business suit stood in front of her. "Hi?"
"Viola Carroll. Name's Crowley." He said with a smirk.
"Where did that other woman go?"
"I sent her away; I'm much more interested in this deal."
"A-alright." She said and swallowed. He tilted his head slightly.
"Any reason for wanting to lucid dream?" He asked.
"Adventure." She said shrugging.
"Well I have a deal for you." He smirked. "You can have all three things; you just need to do something for me."
"You still get my soul though?"
"Depends on how good of a job you do."
"What's the job?"
"I just need you to tag along with a few…friends of mine." He said. "I'll even add one more thing to the list." Viola tilted her head slightly. "A bit of knowledge on the supernatural." She nodded.
"Alright, so how do we.. 'seal the deal'?" He tilted his head slightly with a smile.
"How else? With a kiss." He said and suddenly putting his hand on the back of her head and pulling her head towards his and pushing his lips to hers firmly. Her eyes widened. He held the kiss a few moments before he pulled away.
"N-now what?" He held up a finger.
"Don't move, love." Suddenly he was gone.
"First kiss to a demon." She said a bit flustered. "Great."
Sam was eating at an outdoor table. Dean was standing nearby, talking on his cell phone and holding a plate of ribs.
"I know, Bobby, but there's got to be another way." Dean said. "I don't know. Keep digging. I mean, if Crowley thinks we're just gonna – "
"Crowley thinks you're just gonna what, Dean?" Crowley sai having just materialized behind Dean. "Is that Bobby Singer? Give him a kiss for me." He said walking over to the table Sam was at.
"I'll call you back." Dean said.
"Good news, boys! I've got a job for you." Crowley pulled out the chair next to Sam, turned it around and sat on it backwards. Dean sat across from them.
"I'm gonna say this once." Dean said. "You can take your job and shove it up your ass."
"Is that any way to talk to your boss?"
"You're not my boss, dickbag."
"Dean, Dean. Been through this. Quit clutching your pearls. You've been working for me for some time now. Sam here, longer."
"We didn't know." Sam said. Crowley looked at him.
"Like that makes a difference to you. You'd sell your brother for a dollar right now if you really needed a soda." Dean looked pained. "Look, I'm sending you –"
"No." Dean said.
"Beg pardon?"
"I've done some shady stuff in my time, but I am not doing this. No."
"Ten quid says you will."
Crowley touched the back of Sam's hand. Sam yelled and his hand sizzled. A burn spread on Sam's hand. Sam gasped in pain. "You like pain, Sam? You like Hell?" He looked at Dean. "You need to stop thinking of this as some kind of deal. This is a hostage situation, you arrogant little thug. I own your brother! Do you understand me?" Crowley snapped his fingers and the burn on SAM's hand disappeared. "Come on, Dean, smile. It's not that bad. Here's incentive – you bag me a live alpha, and I'll give you little Sammy's soul back, with a cherry on top."
"What, alpha vamp not good enough for you?" Sam said.
"Best mind where you poke your nose, if you want to keep it. Your merry little hike up the food chain starts here." Crowley put a newspaper down on the table. "Businessman found dead in his car – chest ripped open..." Sam picked up the newspaper. The headline read 'Businessman Falls Victim to Animal Attack.' "...heart missing. Sounds like?"
"Werewolf." Sam said.
"No, it's not a full moon." Dean said.
"Werewolves turning on the full moon – so '09." Crowley said.
"He's right." Sam said. "Samuel and I ganked one about six months back on the half-moon. Things have been out of whack for a while now, I guess."
"Yeah, I guess." Dean said.
"So, it's settled then. You bag the howler, bring it home to papa. Oh! One more thing." Dean glared.
"What?"
"Need you to take a.. new little friend of mine with you."
"We don't work with demons." Dean said.
"Oh don't worry she's human."
"She?" Sam asked. Suddenly Crowley was gone and in a matter of seconds he was back with a girl. The brothers eyebrows went up at the sight of her. She was around 5'6" and looked to be around 110 lbs. She had some curves and a bigger than average, for her size, bust. She wore long black cargo pants and a black tank top. Black fingerless gloves that went to the middle of her forearm, all bunched up. Multiple rings and a black Onex bracelet on her left wrist, looking closely to her right wrist they could see a watch under the gloves. Black converse and she had a dark green bag messenger bag with pins on it. They looked at her face, she had a silver nose ring on the right side and she had very light piercing blue eyes. What really stood out was her short bright pink hair.
"Sam and Dean Winchester meet Viola Carroll, Viola meet the Winchesters." Crowley said. Viola looked at the two brothers.
"Wait why are we taking her with us?" Sam asked.
"Adventure." Crowley said. He turned to Viola. "Use for your first one; Said you'd get all three, just have to work for that last one, love." The brothers looked confused. Crowley looked to the brothers and smiled. "See you soon, boys." And he was gone. Sam and Dean looked at Viola.
"Uh hi?" Sam and Dean looked at each other. Viola swallowed.
"What did Crowley mean you'd get all three?" Sam asked. "All three what?"
"Uh.."
"How do you know him?" Dean asked. "You're human right?"
"One question at a time." She said. She bit her lip and moved the chair Crowley had turned around and put it on the side between the boys before sitting down. "I made a deal."
"I don't mean to be rude but you're an idiot." Sam said.
"Wait so you sold your soul for three things?" Dean asked. She shook her head.
"He said the taking of my soul was dependent on how well I do."
"How well you do with what?" Dean asked.
"Helping you guys I guess." She said.
"He wants you to help us." Dean said. "How old are you, kid?"
"I'm 19." She said.
"Do you know anything about this stuff?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, he gave me info on it."
"How much?" Sam asked. She shrugged.
"I don't know, a lot."
"How do you kill a werewolf?" Dean asked.
"Silver bullet, knife, basically anything silver."
"Ōkami." Sam said.
"Stab it seven times with a bamboo blade blessed by a Shinto priest."
"Wendigo." Dean said.
"Burn it."
"Ghost."
"Salt and burn the bones."
"Changling."
"Once again burning."
"Vampire."
"Chop off its head. Can we stop with the questions now?"
"Okay, so you know about this stuff. What did you ask for?" Sam asked.
"Combat training, gun training, etc., technically adventure and… the last one doesn't really matter."
"You're gunna work with us it does matter." Dean said.
"It's personal." She said looking Dean in the eye.
"Dean, drop it." Sam said. "Uh.. you hungry?" He asked pushing his food towards her.
"No, no thank you." She said. She looked over into the parking lot. "Please tell me the Impala's yours." She said with an admiring smile towards the car. Dean had a slightly surprised look. He smiled slightly but pushed it back.
"That got you some points but I still don't trust you." Viola smiled slightly.
"A few is better than nothing." Dean held out his hand.
"Hold out your hand."
"Uh okay." She put her hand out and he took out a flask and poured a little water on it.
"Just checking." Dean said putting it away.
"Holy water?" She asked drying her hand on her pants. Dean nodded.
"Alright, we'd better get goin." Sam said.
"Can I ride shotgun?" Viola asked. The two looked at her. "Never mind then."
The Impala drove fast along a road at night. Dean was driving, Sam was riding shotgun and Viola was in the back.
"So, the vic's a real class act." Sam said. "Owned a bunch of slum-grade apartments. Couple houses, too."
"So this is it? This is – this is what you're gonna do?" Dean asked.
"What am I doing?" Sam asked.
"Crowley. He's so far up our asses we're – we're – we're coughing sulfur, but you – you're just gonna work the case?" He glanced back at Viola. "Understand we couldn't just leave you back there if we were doing the case or not." She shrugged.
"Well, he's got us by the short and curlies. What else are we supposed to do?" Sam asked.
"It's just – you know, man, I... I'm working for a demon now. I don't even know who you are. I just... I just need a second to adjust."
"Look... this is a crap situation. I get it. But, Dean, I am still me – same melon, same memories. I-I still like the same music. I still think about Suzie Heizer." Sam said.
"Biology class Suzie Heizer?"
"Can you blame me? Look, I know you don't trust me. And I can't take back what I did. But I'm going to prove it to you. I'm still your brother." Viola didn't understand the conversation but thought it best not to ask questions. She sat back in her seat and looked out the window.
The next day the three arrived at a crime scene. Before the brothers got out of the car they looked back at Viola.
"Get down, don't let anyone see you; we don't have any fake IDs for you, plus… you have pink hair." Dean said muttering the last part.
"Could I get some?" She asked.
"Later, just get down." Dean said. She rolled her eyes and got onto the floor of the back of the Impala.
"Here." Sam suddenly threw a jacket over her.
"Thanks." She said sarcastically.
Someone zipped up a body bag. Dean and Sam in their FBI suits walked past a coroner's vehicle towards a detective, who was standing next to the body and two men who were ready to move it. The two men lifted the body and carried it away. Dean and Sam showed their IDs.
"How you doing? Agents Holt and Wilson." Dean said.
"Feds?" The detective asked.
"Yeah." Sam said.
"What are the Feds doing here?"
"Oh, we're specialists." Sam said. "They call us in to answer the questions of mouth-breathing dick monkeys." Dean and the detective looked at him. "So, you gonna walk us through this, or, uh..."
"Dock worker. Guy on the morning shift found him – chest ripped wide open."
"Same as the body in the car?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, second one in two days."
"Internal organs missing on both vics? Like their hearts?" Sam asked.
"Uh... looks like it, yeah. How'd you know?"
"So, this guy, he – he have any enemies?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, plenty, but, uh, I don't think it was a wolf or possibly a cougar that had a beef with the guy. You do realize these were animal attacks?"
"An animal out here. What, you think it came for the sailing?" Dean asked.
When the impala doors opened and the brothers got in Viola popped her head out from under the jacket.
"Hey, get back down until we get on the road." Dean said. She sighed and got back down. As soon as the Impala pulled away from the docks she got up and sat in her seat. "Put your seatbelt on." She gave him a look in the rear view mirror.
"Yes mother." She said clicking it.
They got to a motel and went into a room. Viola sighed.
"What's with you?" Dean asked putting a bag of food they'd gotten on the bed.
"I don't have any clothes. I didn't exactly pack for this." She sighed again and scratched the back of her head. She pulled her wallet out of her pocket and looked inside. "Didn't exactly go to the bank beforehand either." She shoved it back in her pocket and sat on the other bed. Dean looked to be considering something in his head. He took out his wallet and took out a credit card. He tossed it towards Sam who caught it, slightly surprised.
"Go with Sam, he'll take you to get some clothes." Sam gave Dean a look.
"Why do I have to go with her?" Sam asked. Dean pointed to the card in Sam's hand.
"Because that card is for a Barry Johnson not Betty Johnson." Dean said lying on the bed. Sam rolled his eyes and opened the door.
"Come on." He said. The two left the room and got in the Impala.
"I'm sorry you have to take me. Not here 24 hours and you guys want me gone." Sam glanced at her a second before looking back at the road.
"It… it's fine. Better than letting Crowley have your soul."
"He said it was dependent on how well I do the job… so far it's not looking good."
"We've barely started, you'll do fine. You've got the training after all."
"There's that." She said looking out the window.
"What was the third thing you wanted?"
"Uh-"
"I know you said it's personal but I won't judge you. Dean and I need to be able to trust you."
"It's really stupid…"
"Humor me."
"The third thing I asked for was to find…" She sighed and looked away. "true love." She said quietly. He cleared his throat to stop himself from laughing.
"And he said you'd get it?"
"He said I'd have to work for it." She chuckled. "Two outta three ain't bad." Sam nodded silently.
They pulled into a store plaza.
"Uh where do you wanna go?" He asked. Viola looked around and smiled spotting a Hot Topic.
"Hot Topic." She said. He raised an eyebrow.
"Kinda thought you'd pick that." He said and they got out of the Impala. They started walking to the store. "We gotta pick up a few other things too."
They got back to the motel a half hour later. Viola had gotten four pairs of pants, shirts – one of each for sleeping – and, with the help of puppy-dog-eyes, a few accessories. They walked into the room and Dean was asleep on one of the beds, on top of the covers and, in his jeans still. Viola went to the bathroom and changed into the clothes she'd gotten as PJs. When she came back out Sam was sitting on the other bed taking his shoes off. Viola put her clothes in her bag and turned to Sam. He looked up at her and she bit her lip.
"Where am I supposed to sleep?" She said quietly as to not wake Dean.
"Here." Sam nodded to the bed he was sitting on. "I'm just taking off my shoes, I don't sleep."
"Ever?" He shook his head and got up. "Why not?" He let out a sigh.
"It's none of your business." Viola looked down slightly.
"Right, sorry. Didn't mean to… sorry." She said walking over to the bed. She got under the covers and laid down facing away from Sam. Sam looked at her a moment before walking over to the bed. He walked around and she looked up at him.
"You understand why I don't wanna tell you."
"You guys don't trust me, I get it. It's alright." He went to walk away. "I-I'll earn it." Sam stopped and looked back at her. "Your trust, I'll earn. At least I'll try to." He nodded. He sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Look it's not that I don't trust you, I couldn't care less if you know or not." He said. He looked over at Dean.
"You just don't wanna tell in case Dean doesn't want you to?"
"Like I said I couldn't care less." He shrugged. "I went to hell." She tilted her head. "My soul's still there."
"Your soul? But you're still…"
"I'm still… me kinda. It's hard to explain." He said before getting up. "Get some sleep." He said and walked away.
The next morning Dean woke up and looked over at Sam who was dressed in a shirt and suit pants and was organizing papers at the table.
"Morning." Sam said. Dean looked over at the other bed to see Viola still asleep.
"You didn't sleep. 'Cause you don't... sleep."
"Right." Sam said.
"Yeah. That's not creepy at all."
"Not like I can help it. So, you gonna just lay there staring at me.." Sam put on his jacket. "..or you want to hear what I dug up?" Dean raised a hand to tell Sam to go ahead. "All right. So, we know that werewolves are basically id gone wild, right? I mean, whoever they hate, they kill when they wolf out. So, I've been playing connect the victims."
"And?" Sam put the paper work into a briefcase.
"And I think I found a common denominator. So come on. Uh..." Sam tossed Dean two IDs. "Get the lead out, huh?" Dean caught them.
"Let me get dressed, Robocop." Dean said while looking at one made for Viola that even had her picture only she had black hair. Sam pointed to Viola.
"Better wake her." Dean looked at him.
"Where'd you get the picture?"
"Wallet." Sam said pointing to the wallet that was on top of the shopping bag along with her phone and hat. "Got her business outfits too."
"Right." Dean said getting up. He walked over to Viola and shook her arm. "Hey, wake up Princess." She made a small noise and turned over to look at him. He dropped the ID onto her stomach. She picked it up and opened it. "First day as an FIB Agent."
"Stacy Ward?"
"Don't look at me I didn't pick it." He said putting his hands up and walking to get his clothes.
"Vi." Sam tossed her a bag. She caught it and looked inside. She pulled out a black wig. "Thought you looked cute with black hair. Course you're cute now too." Viola felt her cheeks heat up. The picture on her driver's license in her wallet showed that she naturally had black hair.
"T-thanks Sam." She said with a small smile. He winked, flashing a smile making her blush more as she walked to the bathroom.
The Impala pulled up and parked outside a house. Sam got out carrying a gun, which he put into the back of his pants. Viola got out of the back and straightened out her blouse and skirt before quickly making sure her wig was on correctly. The three walked to the house and knock. A woman carrying a young boy answered.
"Yes, can I help you?" She asked. The three held up their IDs.
"Is Cal Garrigan at home?" Sam asked. "We've got a few questions we'd like to ask him." The woman smiled.
"Yeah. Um, come in." She let them in and went to the kitchen. The woman sets the boy down in the kitchen and handed him a toy. A German Shepherd was lying on a dog bed. "Honey, um, why don't you go play in your room for a little while, okay?" The woman cleared the toys from the kitchen table. "Excuse the mess. Please sit." The brothers sat at the table while Viola crouched by the dog bed and pet the German Shepherd. "Um... can I get you anything?"
"No, thank you." Dean said. "Um, so Cal is your boyfriend?"
"That's right."
"And where is he?"
"Uh, sleeping, I think."
"You mind telling him up and at 'em? He's got some guests."
"Yeah. Yeah, of course." The woman started to leave the room but stopped as Cal cleared his throat and entered with a hand to his head. "Cal..." The German Shepherd growled and barked once. Viola stood and moved away from the dog.
"Lucky, shh!" Cal said. The German Shepherd growled again.
"These are Agents... "
"Holt, Wilson, and Ward. Morning... ish." Dean said.
"Hey. What's this?" Cal asked.
"You out late last night, Cal?" Dean said. Cal poured himself some coffee.
"Just, uh, you know, a couple beers with friends.
"How many's a couple?"
"I don't know. Three, four tops."
"If all you had was beer, then how come you're sweating vodka?" Sam asked. "And looks to me like you slept in those clothes. Am I right?"
"I don't know. I – I guess."
"So what you're saying is, you got blind drunk, you blacked out. Something tells me this isn't the first time." Dean said.
"So, Cal, truthfully, who knows what you've really been up to at night?" Sam asked.
"Look, what's this about?" Cal asked.
"We're investigating the death of Ronald Garrigan." Sam said.
"My brother?" Cal asked. Cal and the woman looked at each other. She shrugged.
"We're sorry for your loss." Viola said.
"Yeah, I thought that was some kind of animal attack."
"No love lost between the two of you, huh?" Sam asked.
"Look, we had our differences, I guess. You love your brother, of course, but... Ron had a lot of problems. He was, uh, volatile."
"Last time he was here, you called the cops?" Sam said.
"What happened?" Viola asked.
"He came in here all messed up, and he was yelling. He shoved Mandy. So, yeah, I called the cops. I don't see how that has to do with –"
"Your landlord was found dead this week. Were you aware of that?" Sam asked.
"Saw it in the papers. Why?"
"Well, you two were pretty far behind on your rent, right? He had sent eviction papers?"
"I – I'm sorry. That was an animal attack." Mandy said.
"Funny enough, yeah – both of 'em were." Sam said.
"So, great, great. Yeah, guys." Cal said. "What in the hell do you think I had to do with 'em?"
"Just following procedure." Dean said. "Had to ask. You two have a good day." The brothers got up and the three left the house.
"So, Cal's a prince." Sam said as they were walking to the Impala.
"Yeah, doesn't even know where he was last night."
"Bag him now?" Sam asked.
"No. We make sure."
"Really?"
"Before we hand him over to a lifetime of demon rape? Yeah, really." They got into the car and drove away.
"The dog didn't seem to like him. Don't dogs and other animals… can't they tell or something." Sam and Dean looked at each other.
"She does have a point-" Sam started.
"No she does not have a point." Dean looked at her then at Sam. "We make sure." Dean stressed.
That night the Impala pulled up and park near a garage next to a fix-it business, on the other side of a hedge. Men were arriving in their vehicles as the door to the garage rolled up. Someone turned on the lights and they could that the garage was furnished like a bar with a juke box and pool table.
"Boy, Cal just doesn't know when to quit." Sam said.
"Three scuzzy bars, one scuzzy strip club, a chili-dog joint, seven or eight nightcaps, and now... scotches in the library." Dean said. "I'm getting cirrhosis just watching this. Other than that, we got squat."
"Let's just see." Sam said. The men in the garage were laughing and music was playing. Cal and another man grabbed pool cues.
The sun had started coming up and the three were still watching the garage, well Sam and Dean had been, Viola had just woken up 10 minutes prior.
"Dude, sun's up." Dean said. Two men left the garage. Others were sitting around the table. "This guy's still on two legs. In theory. He ain't wolfing out."
"Well, not tonight, anyway." Sam said.
"Let's head back. We can re-attack this in a couple hours." Dean said. "You look like you're gunna pass out back there.."
"I'm fine." Viola said. "Just hard to sleep in a car." She said as Dean started the Impala and drove away.
The three got called back to the garage later and walked up to see Cal's body being zipped into a body bag on a wheeled stretcher. The three were in their FBI suits.
"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's not Cal." Dean said.
"Masterful deduction, Sherlock." Sam said.
"I mean, a werewolf attack in daylight? This whole thing is just weird."
"Dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria. So, you know this means that we're down to one suspect, right?"
"I know."
"I mean, Mandy is right at the deep end of the vic pool. Can you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Shove her in the trunk, serve her up to Crowley."
"Yeah, Sam, I can do it."
The Impala pulled up across the street from where Mandy was outside, with Lucky on a leash, talking to a woman and a girl.
"Three o'clock? Does that work?" The woman asked.
"Okay." Mandy said.
"Okay."
"See you later."
"See you then."
"Bye." The girl said.
"Bye." Mandy said. The three walked over to Mandy as the woman and girl walked away.
"Ma'am." Dean said.
"Agents. What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Nobody called you?" Dean asked.
"Called me about what?" Mandy said.
Inside Mandy's house Lucky was on the dog bed next to the kitchen table. Dean, Sam, Viola and Mandy were sitting at the table.
"I'm sorry. I just can't believe it." Mandy said.
"I'm really very sorry." Dean said.
"Ma'am, I know this isn't the best time, but we'd like you to come with us." Sam said.
"Why? You think I have something to do with this? With Cal?" She asked.
"Of course not." Dean said. "We just got a few questions – i's and t's, mostly."
"I, uh... Could we do it later?"
"I'm afraid not." Mandy looked at Sam who stared back unmoved.
"Oh. Uh – uh, my kid has the flu, um, and he was up all night, so –"
"Well, is there a neighbor or a friend who can watch him while you're gone?" Sam asked.
"I'm sorry. You said your boy was up all night?" Dean asked
"Uh, yeah." Mandy
"Were you with him all night?" Dean asked.
"Um – uh – well, I had, um, half an hour of sleep, maybe." Mandy said.
"Can I talk to your son?" Dean asked.
"Why?" She asked.
"Yeah, what difference does that make, Agent Holt?" Sam said.
"Trust me. It's important." He said to Sam then looked to Mandy. "Please?"
The three walked towards the Impala.
"Well, it wasn't her." Dean said.
"You don't know that." Sam said.
"She's got an alibi." Dean said.
"She's lying." Sam said.
"You heard the kid, dude. She's not lying."
"Fine. She still had time to wolf out, Dean. The last werewolf was in bed, with me, and she wolfed out."
"Don't make this personal. Look, all I'm saying is that between this and the daylight attacks, something's not adding up." They got to the Impala and the bothers stood on opposite sides, Viola on Dean's.
"I'm not just gonna hand her over to Crowley until we figure out what. You understand?" Dean said.
"Okay. Okay. I understand. How 'bout you and Vi go check out Cal's crime scene, see if we're missing anything. I'll come back and keep an eye on Amanda."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, how 'bout you and Vi go and I'll stay here?"
"Dean, I still know how to do my job. I'm just gonna watch her. That's all. Trust me." Sam said and got into the car.
"Uh-huh."
"You two are suddenly calling me 'Vi'." Viola pointed out. Dean looked at her.
"Yeah." He shrugged. "It fits. Come on." He said and they got into the car.
Dean was sitting on the edge of one of the beds in the motel room. Viola was taking a shower. Dean looked at his phone Lisa's name was highlighted on the phone screen. After a moment, he tossed the phone on a table and went to the kitchen area. He picked up a cup and the coffee pot. His phone rang and he answered it.
"Hey."
"Hey, man, it's me." Sam said.
"Well, I got bupkis here."
"I definitely got something. It ain't a werewolf, for one."
"Yeah, what is it?
"Skinwalker."
"A skinwalker? As in..."
"As in, the family dog seriously needs a neuter."
"Wow. I haven't of a skinwalker in years." Dean reached for John's journal. "I'm actually a little rusty on the profile."
"You and me both. I guess you could ask Vi if you need to but uh, I just got the low down from Bobby. They can change anywhere, anytime. Skinwalkers infect you with a single bite. Otherwise, they're basically a werewolf cousin – silver will drop 'em, they chow hearts like sausages."
"So what happened? Did you catch him?"
"Not exactly. But I have some idea where he might be. Where's Vi? Shouldn't you have put me on speaker?"
"She's bus-" He turned around to look at the bathroom door and stopped when he saw Viola in short-shorts and a tank top. "Hello." He said.
"What?" Sam said. Viola looked at Dean and blushed slightly while drying her hair with a towel. She walked over to the second bed and sat down. She flipped her hair down and used the town. "-ean…Dean!"
"Mm? What?" Dean said.
"You alright?" Sam asked. Dean cleared his throat.
"Yeah, just fine. See ya when ya get back." Dean said before hanging up. Viola flipped her hair back up and grabbed a brush. She looked at him as he sat on his bed.
"That Sam?"
"Yeah." Dean nodded. "It's a skinwalker, Mandy's dog."
"Wow really?" Dean nodded.
"Well, get some sleep, kid."
"I'm not a kid."
"You're a kid to me."
"How old are you?"
"..31."
"How old is Sam?"
"27."
"Hmm." Dean raised an eyebrow as she got under the covers. "You should get some sleep too. Night."
"Night, Vi."
Dean, Viola and Sam, wearing casual clothes, walked into a room in the Erie County Domestic Animal Hospital containing dogs in cages. One of the dogs was Lucky.
"Hiya, Lucky. Bad dog." Dean said. He crouched down in front of Lucky's cage. "First things first." Dean said. He held up his gun. The picture changes to black and white as he takes out the magazine. "You see this? This is silver. Don't say I didn't warn you." Dean put the magazine clip back in the gun. "Okay, time to go. Now, we can either do this the easy way –" He held up a pair of jeans. "Hmm?" He held up a chain. "Or the hard way." Sam laughed. Dean looked back at him.
"What? Soul or not, that's funny." Lucky barked.
Lucky, as a man, was tied to a chair with a rope reinforced with chain. Sam sat on another chair and Dean on the edge of a bed while Viola stood next to Sam.
"Well, I got to tell you, Lucky," Sam said. "you got us stumped. I mean, why shack up with the family? Is it a kinky thing?" Sam gave him a look. "Do you like to play with your food? Roll over, Lucky. Speak."
"Go to hell." Lucky said.
"Already been." Sam said. "Didn't agree with me. So, look..." Sam got up and picked up a knife from the desk. "...how about I take this silver knife, and start carving some dog until you behave?"
"You do what you got to do." Lucky said. Sam approached Lucky. Dean held up a hand to stop him.
"Hang on, Sam." He looked at Lucky. "Listen, you don't have to tell me why you're with the family. I get it."
"Oh, you do, do you?" Lucky said.
"You killed every threat that came near them." Dean said. "You care about them, in your own whack-a-doodle kind of way. It's obvious. What I want to know is, who was that guy you were kibitzing with? He a skinwalker, too?"
"Look, I can't say anything."
"But if you don't, then you're gonna put the girl and the little boy in danger. And sooner or later, all this crap is gonna come for them. Now, listen –" Dean stood up. "We don't give a rat's ass about you. We want to help them. That's our angle. That's it."
"Yeah," He said after a pause. "that guy, he's a... whatever it is I am. And he's not the only one."
"How many are you?" Sam asked.
"About 30. We were all - we were kind of recruited."
"Recruited?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. Me, I was living on the streets. They found me. They told me one small bite, I'd be strong, I'd be fast."
"Sniffing people's butts? Yeah, that's a real step up." Dean said.
"Well, it was for me."
"Where is this little Scooby gang of yours?" Dean asked.
"Everywhere." Lucky said. "We're out there finding families, and once they take us in, we lay low."
""Lay low"? What the hell's that mean?" Dean said.
"Well, we're waiting for the word."
"What word?"
"Once we're settled, we get the signal... and we all turn on our families. We change them, all in one night. 30 becomes 150."
"God, you're a sleeper cell." Dean said.
Yeah, well, that's one way to say it.
"So you're waiting for word from who? Who organized you?" Sam asked.
"There's a pack leader.
"Your Alpha?" Sam asked.
"What's an Alpha?
"The – the first skinwalker, the strongest."
"Well, he's plenty strong, but, no, I – I don't think so. I'm pretty sure there's guys like him in other towns. We're not the only pack out there."
"Fantastic." Dean said. "Then you can help us stop him."
"Oh, no, I can't. No."
"Yes, you can." Dean said.
"No, you guys don't get it. No one can. These guys who turned me – they're ruthless." Sam whistled and held up a ball, then threw it.
"Sam, not helping."
"Fetch this, dick." Lucky said.
"Listen to me." Dean said crouching down in front of Lucky. "What are you gonna do to that family, really? You gonna put your jaws around that little boy's throat? Clamp down, listen to him cry for his mom? 'Cause I'm gonna guess that these are the only people who in your pathetic life have ever showed you any kindness. So it's either that... or you can help us stop it."
The Impala was parked under a bridge. Dean was taking things out of the trunk.
"So..." Sam said. "How are we supposed to get near something that can smell us a hundred yards off?"
"We don't." Dean opened a case of rifles.
"The pack leader. We're taking him down?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. Got a better idea?"
"No, I... Crowley's not gonna be too happy about that."
"Who gives a rat's ass?" He looked to Viola. "We'll take the fault if he comes after you." He looked back to Sam. "We let that thing live one second, and it sends out that psychic dog whistle and" He motioned with his hand. "phew!"
"On the other hand, it could lead us to an Alpha. Then Crowley would give me my soul back and possibly not take Vi's."
"Are you kidding? 150 people turned into monsters. That's what you want?"
"No. Of course not. I... I'm just asking."
"All right, you know what? That's it."
"What?"
"You say you're "just folks," yeah? That – that you like baseball and apple pie or whatever. But truth is, I don't know what you are 'cause you're not Sam."
"Dean, come on."
"I mean, it's your gigantor body and – and maybe your brain, but it's not you. So just... stop pretending. Do us both a favor." Dean grabbed the rifle case and walked away. Sam picked up a bag and he and Viola walked after him.
Lucky was waiting outside a building with a large roller door. Dean was watching through the sights of a rifle from a nearby roof. Sam and Viola sat near Dean. Sam fiddled with silver bullets.
"He looks nervous, right?" Sam said.
"Wouldn't you be?"
"I'd double-cross us. I mean, he's got to realize that's his best bet, if he wants to keep breathing."
"Nah, he'll go through with it."
"You mean 'cause he loves that family?"
"Yeah."
"I'd double-cross us."
"Thanks, Dexter. That's reassuring."
"Just making conversation."
"I'm curious to see how you are with your soul." Viola said looking at Sam, he glanced back at her. Suddenly a vehicle pulled up.
"Here we go." Sam and Viola stood up and Sam looked through binoculars. Three men got out of the vehicle. The roller door to the building opened and three more men came out.
"That big guy, the driver – that's the guy Lucky met in the park." Sam said. Dean looked through the rifle sights at a bald man, who was behind another man.
"And there's El Jefe."
"Take him out."
"It's not clean. We got one shot at this – literally." The bald man walked over to Lucky, looked at him and shook his head. Another man escorted Mandy and her son out of the back of the vehicle.
"Take the shot." Sam said.
"I'm trying! She's in the way." Dean said.
"Take it anyway!" Dean looked at Sam who looked back.
"Sam." Viola hissed giving him a look. He glanced at her before looking back. Through the rifle sights, Dean watched the bald man put an arm around Lucky and lead him inside. Lucky looked back at Mandy and her son.
"Come on, come on, come on. Ahh." With everyone now inside the building, a man closed the roller door. Dean lowered the rifle.
"So, plan B?"
"We've got one?"
Mandy was holding her son in her arms.
"Please, whatever you want. Just please let my son go." She said.
The bald man whispered to the large man next to him. The large man walked over to Lucky.
"Look, man, there's nothing I can do. The boss is pissed. These murders that you've been doing? You didn't ask for permission! Now you're gonna screw up the whole damn plan. I tried to warn you."
"I know. I'm sorry." Lucky said.
"There – there's been a mistake. T-This has got nothing to do with us." Mandy said.
"It has everything to do with you, sister." The large man said loudly.
"Hey." Lucky whispered to him.
"So, you with us or not?"
"Yes, of course I am."
"Fine. Prove it. Turn them. Now. Both of 'em, while we watch, Or I'll kill you all."
"Oh, my..." Mandy said quietly. The large man sniffed.
"What is that?" He asked. Sam and Viola stepped out from behind a partition and Sam shot the bald men. Mandy gasped. Dean shot with the rifle from some distance away and Viola shot with a hand gun. Gun training apparently counts as combat training. Mandy took cover as Dean and Sam continued to shoot. Two of the men ran and Sam and Viola chased after them.
"Mommy!" Mandy's son cried.
"It's okay." She said to him. Lucky crouched down in front of her.
"Mandy! Come on, come on. "
"Who are you? I don't even know you!"
"Yes, you do. Trust me, I'm trying to help. Come on, come on!" Dean watched through the rifle sights as Lucky led Mandy and her son away. Sam chased after one of the men and shot repeatedly.
Lucky opened the door to a small room.
"Get in." Lucky said.
"But I don't – "
"Get in!" She ran in and Lucky closed the door behind her. "Bolt it! Bolt it!" He said through the window. She locked the door. The man Sam was trying to shot was hiding behind some equipment. He looked at Viola and put his finger to his lips Mandy pushed her son under a desk.
"Here, baby, go under here. Okay, stay there, honey. You'll be safe." Mandy looked through the door's window at Lucky. Sam discovered a pile of clothes where the man was. He and Viola walked past the clothes. A Doberman appeared around a corner behind them. A wolf trotted up behind Dean and snarls. Dean tried to turn, but his rifle was stuck in a grill. The wolf leaped at him and he fired his handgun. A naked man with a gunshot wound in his back laid face down on the ground. Sam continued to search the building. The Doberman followed him.
The Large man from before walking up to Lucky.
"You're protecting them? After what I did for you? I gave you your life back!" Dean watched through the rifle sights. "Them? You're nothing to them. You're a dog." Lucky punched the man in the face. The man laughed.
"I-I was gonna turn them. But now I'm gonna kill 'em." The man punched Lucky, sending him flying into the office door and shattering the glass. Mandy screamed.
The Doberman growled and ran at Viola. She gasped as Sam pushed her out of the way and shot it as it leaped. A naked man with a gunshot wound in his back was face down on the ground.
"You good?" Sam asked looking at her. She nodded.
"Thanks." She squeaked.
Lucky got to his feet. He looked back at Mandy. He transformed into his dog form. He barked at the man
"Lucky?!" Mandy exclaimed. Lucky continued to bark.
"So you think this is gonna be a dogfight?" The man took out a gun.
"I got a better idea." The man shot Lucky, who yelped. He advanced on Lucky, who lay on the ground whimpering. Dean watched through the rifle sights, looking for a clear shot. "Silver bullet, Lucky." The man said. Dean shot the man, who fell to the ground dead near another one of the men who was shot earlier. Sam and Viola approached and looked at Lucky, who was still lying on the ground. Sam checked his magazine clip and moved around some drums.
"Sam?" Viola said following him. When he raised his gun, Lucky was gone, with only a pool of blood remaining on the ground. Mandy watched Sam from behind the shattered glass of the office door.
Lucky, in his human form, knocked at the door of Mandy's house. Mandy opened the door and stepped back in alarm when she saw who was there.
"Hi." He put his hands up. "One…. I'm not here to bother you. I just...Uh, I just want to say one thing. You and Aidan... You're the only family I ever had. And I know – I know that sounds – I know... I know what I am. It... it's just that no one has ever been so nice to me before, so... So, thank you."
"Get away from this house, you psycho. And if you ever, ever come near me or my son again, so help me..."
"I know I probably deserve..."
Mandy closed and locked the door. A few moments later she was visible through the living room window, clenching her fists in agitation. Lucky turned away and there was a noise as he transformed. Mandy looked through the window at the pile of clothes left behind. Lucky trotted slowly down the street, then walked, then stopped and looks behind him.
A woman jogged past with a dog on a leash. Sam was carrying a bag of take-out food and he, Viola and Dean each held drinks.
"I'll never look at a dog the same." Dean said. "Makes you wonder, though, huh?"
"What?" Sam asked. They sat at a picnic table near a river. Viola sat next to Dean on his right.
"How many packs are out there. What if they're all just waiting for the signal, you know?" Dean asked.
"Or how many lone dogs are really skinwalkers." Viola said. Dean made a face.
"So...I was thinking. You were right." Sam said.
"'bout?" Dean asked.
"I'm not your brother. I'm not Sam."
"Okay."
"Um, all that "Blah, blah, blah," about being the old me? Crap. Like Lisa and Ben, right? I've been acting like I care about them. But I don't. I couldn't care less."
"Is this supposed to make me feel better?"
"You wanted the real me. This is it. I don't care about them. I don't even really care about either of you." He looked at Viola briefly before looking at Dean. "Except that... I need your help. And you're clearly not gonna stick around for much longer unless I give it to you straight, so... I've done a lot worse than you know. I've killed innocent people in the line of duty. But I'm pretty sure it's not something the old me could've done. And maybe I should feel guilty. But I don't."
"Sam, get to the punch line."
"I don't know if how I am is better or worse. It's different. You get the job done, and nothing really hurts. That's not the worst thing. But I've been thinking. And it was... it was kinda harder. But there are also things about it I remember that I... Let's just say I think I should probably go back to being him."
"That's very interesting. It's a step."
"So?"
"We do what we got to do. And we get my brother back." Viola put her head down and looked out at the river. Dean tapped her back. "Hey Princess." She sat up and looked at him.
"Hm?" She hummed, also giving him a weird look for the nick name.
"You gonna eat?" She looked at the bag then shook her head.
"Not hungry." She got up and walked towards the river. She sat down in the grass and just looked at the water. She always loved just staring at big bodies of water; Lakes, Rivers, Oceans. They calmed her and made her feel relaxed.
Dean reached into the bag and pulled out a burger. Sam watched him.
"Aren't you going to go talk to her?" Sam asked. Dean looked up.
"Why?"
"She said she wasn't hungry but her stomach was growling the whole way here. The case is over… She thinks we're gunna ditch her." Dean looked back at Viola. "Are we?"
"Course not. She's still on the job, can't let Crowley have her soul too."
Viola let out a sigh and lay back in the grass and looked up at the clouds. The only things she really liked about the outdoors were bodies of water, clouds and fall leafs. She closed her eyes after a moment and drifted off for a few minutes. After about five minutes someone shook her shoulder.
"Hey Sleeping Beauty." She opened her eyes and saw Dean crouched next to her. "Come on, we gotta hit the road." She sat up. "You can eat in the car, we saved you some." He said standing up and holding out a hand. She took it and he helped her up.
"I can come?"
"Of course. We can't let Crowley have your soul, plus you know your way around a gun." Viola smiled.
"Thank you." He ruffled her hair. "Hey."
"No problem, kid." He patted her on the back and they walked to the Impala.
