PROLOGUE

One year ago...

It was nearly 1am when Bobby got the call. He'd never in his life heard his neice sound so frantic. She was crying, that much was obvious. She was sobbing so hard that Bobby could barely understand what she was saying.

"Ivy-Jade?" He asked into the reciever even though he knew it was her "Ivy darlin' what is it?"

The sobbing died down to sniffles as Ivy whispered into the phone, "it's mom."

Bobby frowned. He hadn't spoken to his sister in years. He kept in contact with Ivy, she was his only neice after all, but not her mother. In facct, when Liz left the hunting life, she cut all ties with Bobby. The only problem was that Ivy always loved her Uncle Bobby and refused to stop talking to him, especially since he got rid of the 'monster' under her be when she was six.

"What about her?" He asked, although after being a hunter your entire life, you learn to expect the worst.

"Sh-she's dead." Ivy's voice broke as she said it. She still didn't want to believe it herself, but it's kind of hard to ignore when you come home to find your mother's blood drained and her throat ripped out.

"What? How?" Bobby asked. He was upset that his sister was dead but he couldn't grieve. He had to look after Ivy.

"V-vampires I think. The police said it was a bear attack but..." she sobbed again.

"Good girl. Are you alone?"

"Yes, but I don't wanna be. Uncle Bobby, can you come and get me? You're the only one who understands. I need to be with family and you're all I have."

Bobby sighed and said "sweetie, even if I leave right now, I won't be there for another four days, minimum." Ivy let out a small noise that sounnded a lot like another whimper. "Look, I know a pair of hunters that are in the area. I know you don't know them, but I trust them with my life. They're as close to me as if they really were family. What about I send them to pick you up?"

"How will I know who they are? What are their names?"

"John and Dean Winchester."

John and Dean had just stopped in at Bobby's after finishing a hunt. John insisted that it was just to see if Bobby had a case, but he and Dean both knew it was because they wanted to checkon Ivy. At first, she was silent. Grieving. They understood that. After time, she started being more comfortable around the Winchesters as well as just Bobby. She told them about her life and her family, they told her about Sam and Mary.

When they heard Bobby and Ivy shouting, they knew they'd come at a bad time but they also knew they'd have to intervene.

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO OFF ON YOUR OWN IVY-JADE MARIE CARRIGAN!" They heard Bobby yell.

"SO I'LL FIND A PARTNER!" Ivy retorted.

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE HUNTING WITHOUT YOUR PARENTS!"

Suddenly, the Winchester boys knew what they were arguing about.

"WEL HOW CAN I GET ANY EXPERIENCE ON MY OWN IF YOU WON'T EVEN LET ME TRY?!"

"Guys, guys, calm down!" John said as the two men entered the room.

"I can go with them!" Ivy suddenly excalimed.

"Ivy, you can't hunt with us," Dean told her.

"And why not?" She had her hands on her hips and a serious look on her face.

"Because...because you're Ivy!" He threw his hands in the air in annoyance. "Look, you're Bobby's neice so you're like family to me by default. I don't want you getting hurt."

"And if I'm with you and John, I won't be," she argued. "What do you say? Please John, please Uncle Bobby?" She looked up at Bobby with hopeful eyes. The old hunter rolled his eyes.

"Fine." He huffed.

"Okay," John nodded.

It'd been a year since she joined John and Dean. They were her family now. She and Dean both got concerned when John hadn't checked in with them in a while and Dean decided there was only one option.

It was time to get Sam.
