A/N: New story... WOHOO!!! I'm excited for this story to tell you the truth...
Disclaimer: Kripke owns the Winchesters and I don't think he's willing to trade them. Also the title of the story (Ring of Fire) belongs to Johnny Cash, and the title of this chapter belongs to Styx.
Rating: T/M ... just 'cause i can't choose one.
"Alright boys, I know I told you this before but listen closely. The thing we are hunting is a shapeshifter, meaning it can change its form at any time, so keep your guard up." John Winchester said looking between both of his sons as they sat at the book covered table. "Do you two remember how to kill it?"
"Silver bullet to the heart, or a silver blade." The oldest said, his voice hinting towards either boredom or annoyance.
"Good. Keep sharp when hunting this thing, it has a tendency to be quick. Alright?" He waited for them to nod in agreement and then continued, "Good let's get going."
Both boys held their ground at the table as they watched their father start to walk out the door. John stopped when he reached the threshold of the kitchen of the apartment they were currently using and turned to look at his boys.
"Let's go." he said sternly, but once again neither one budged, he was about to walk over and physically get them out of their chairs but was stopped short by one of his boys.
"This is crap dad."
"Excuse me?" John said, staring in disbelief at his eldest son.
"It's not fair. We don't want to live like this. Why do we have to save everyone? Why can't we just be normal for once?" Dean exclaimed, pushing the chair back as he stood up suddenly from the table. Sam staring in shock as his brother challenged the authority of their father.
"Dean-." The boys father started but was instantly cut off by his son.
"No!" Dean yelled. "Don't give me any of your 'family business' shit! I don't care." Dean started to walk towards his father, intending to walk past him, but John had grabbed Dean's upper arm with his hand.
"What the hell has gotten into you Dean? What happened to killing every evil son of a bitch out there?" John said, trying to keep the anger from his voice.
"It's not getting us any closer to moms killer. That's what happened." Dean said yanking his arm free of his fathers grip and went to the door.
"Dean where are you going?" Sam said suddenly as he got up quickly from the table and started going towards Dean, his father stopping him before Sam got to far past him.
"Let him go Sam, he needs to cool off." John said as Dean slammed the door shut on his way out. "You and I will go hunt this shapeshifter. Everything will be fine."
Sam stared at his father, his brown eyes filled with anger. "I don't want to hunt dad. Not without Dean." Sam said as he pulled his arm loose and followed after his big brother, but as soon as he was out the door, a hand came out of nowhere, slamming into his face and forcing Sammy into the door frame.
Sam started to get up, his left hand covering the part of his face that got hit, his eyes locked on the forms standing in front of him. John Winchester came to his youngest sons side, stopping suddenly when he saw his eldest in the hands of the creature they were hunting.
A/N: I know slightly out of character for Dean... but i got it all under control... no worries.
