Chapter One

Sam wandered, trapped once again in the confines of his own mind, winding through abandoned city streets and searching for something, someone. Who exactly it could be escaped him, but it was important. These things are always important - that much he knew. After visiting this place so many times before, you'd think it would be a piece of cake to find his way out. But all he saw was deserted streets and empty windows.

Two shots rang out and Sam ducked instinctively, eyes searching out the source of the fire but finding nothing but more dark windows. As the sound of the bullets ricocheting faded to silence, he emerged from his crouch and ran for the building across the street.

As he crossed the threshold, the scene changed, and Sam found himself in a dark forest. He heard screaming followed by a swishing of leaves. He ran towards the sound. A heavy blow smashed into his side, and he hit a tree hard. He jumped up immediately, ready to take his assailant, but as he opened his eyes, the scene had changed yet again. But Sam was no longer alone.

A young girl was sitting alone, bound and gagged on a dirty cot. She was pale and thin, with dark shadows under her eyes from lack of sleep. Sam moved to her side and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you alright?" He pulled the gag out of her mouth. She coughed weakly and stared at him, wide eyed. "What brought you here?"

"You shouldn't be here." She whispered, "You have to run, quick! It's coming back." Sam removed a small knife from his boot and cut the ropes around her wrists and ankles.

"What's coming? What brought you here?" She trembled slightly and pushed him towards the door as soon as she was free. "I'm not sure, maybe a jinn of some sort, but I've never seen one like this."

Sam paused. "How do you know-? Are you a hunter?"

She shook her head impatiently and tried again to shove his hulking form towards the door. "No, I just know. Please, you have to run. It's definitely a jinn, but he's controlling your mind, trying to draw you out of the recesses to where he can really get you. You've already found me, and soon you'll have to face him. He's so powerful Sam- I'm not sure if you can take him."

Sam furrowed his brow, thinking, "And you, how are you in my head? Do I know you?"

She reached desperately for the door but couldn't turn the handle. "Dammit! I don't know how I got here. I was… somewhere else and then this… this thing had me here. Now come on we have to get out of here and someplace private. Someplace only you know. Someplace from your childhood. Think about it. Hold it in your mind." Sam thought back. "Now open the door." He did, and walked into a small closet. The girl came through the door and squeezed into the confined space alongside him; she hurriedly slammed the door and muttered a few words in Latin. The door disappeared, leaving them standing in the too small closet. Sam had to hunch over a bit the girl was pressed against him.

"So you wanna a play seven minutes in heaven or do you want to live to see the light of day again?"

Sam cleared his throat and nodded awkwardly, He opened the door into the spare bedroom of his old babysitter's house. "If a jinn is after us it should be easy enough to get rid of him." He knelt down by the twin bed that had been Dean's during their time in the old house, and pulled out a duffle bag full of knives and guns and various powdered substances. The girl stretched out on the other bed and put her hands over her face, breathing in slowly.

"So… what's your name?" Sam asked nonchalantly as he looked for the silver knife knew had to be there. "I don't remember." Sam's searching slowed as he palmed a bottle of holy water and knife. He stood up slowly and turned to find her face still covered. He popped the lid off the bottle and quickly sloshed a bit over the nameless girl. She didn't react except for a little jump of surprise. Then she extended an arm and looked at him. "You can cut me too if you like. I promise I'm not dangerous."

Sam quickly nicked her pale skin and watched as a little blood rolled slowly down her arm. "So you're human?" He asked, the girl just smiled, "If I were human I wouldn't be here." She blew a couple of dark curls off of her face and sat up. "Ok. I have an idea. Your friends need to do a spell. A summoning ritual, one that will pull the jinn out of your head and into the real world, then we hope they kill it and eventually its poison should work its way out of your system and then you should wake up. I know one but… I just can't quite remember the ingredients… it's like a mix of a séance and a daemon summoning only aimed at your head… what was it." She squinched her eyes closed and knocked on her head like that would push the memory out.

"Ok that's great… whatever your name is. But even if you do remember there's no way I could get the message to them like this."

The girl stared at him. "What about your psychic connection?"

"What?"

She stood up. "Your psychic connection to your brother." At Sam's blank look she sighed. "Please tell me you're aware of that connection.… No? Okay, then I'll just have to teach you to make it. Sit down."

Sam's brow furrowed and he cautiously sat down. "So why should I trust you? The girl who mysteriously shows up in my head who says she's not human and doesn't remember her name?" Even though Sam said it there was no real conviction. He did trust her. With no real reason to. She seemed so real. Like she was the only thing he could hold onto in the fluid atmosphere of his mind.

"Don't wrinkle that caveman brow at me! Babe I'm trying to help you." She fixed him with her big blue eyes, "You can trust me." Sam searched her face. Looking for any tell tale sign that she could be bluffing then slowly nodded. "Ok. How do I contact Dean?" She smiled and jumped up excitedly. "You have a chance of getting out of here if you use your abilities. You just have to find a way to-"

Sam sprang up and backed away from her, "No! Not those, I've already been through this with a little daemon named Ruby. Those powers bring nothing but trouble. Plus, I can't even use them without daemon blood."

"No Sam, not those. You have your own power. How many times have you come back from the dead? Or tried to sacrifice yourself for your brother? Quite a few, right?" Sam nodded, "Well that gives you and your brother a special connection. If you focus and catch him at the right moment, you should be able to speak to him. So close your eyes. Tell him what I told you. A crazy powerful jinn ghost has locked you in your mind and they need to find the spell that will suck it out of your coconut and into the real world where they can kill it again… maybe." Sam had been concentrating up till that point.

"What do you mean maybe?"

The girl tugged at the ends of her hair. "Maybe, because I'm not sure what it is. It looks like a jinn, but it acts like a ghost, and its doing this psycho mind trick thing, so…. It could be anything."

Suddenly it clicked for Sam. "It's a starship."

"A what?"

"A Starship… Dean named them. They're hybrids that Eve created before we killed her. This may be one of them. Some kind of jinn ghost hybrid. Crap. That means they won't know how to kill it."

The girl nodded. "It's a dilemma, isn't it. But the fact is, if they don't do something, you will die. Again. And I don't know if they'll be able to bring you back. Look, I've been trapped in here for a while and that thing kept showing me things. Horrible things from your past. But in every one of them, you and your brother have proven yourselves to be noble and strong and kind of ingenious. The jinn is peeling away your memories, trying to find you even as we speak. So you have to sit your ass down and tell your brother what's going on, or you are going to die and he will be destroyed just like he always is every time you end up dead. So do it. Now, before he finds us. We'll have to move deeper soon so make it quick."

Sam finally sat down and tried to clear his head. A strange thing to do while your actually sitting inside it. He reached out the way he had with his daemon powers. Reaching for his brother. Picturing him in his mind. Searching for him. And then came the connection.
