She looked up towards the clock on the far side of the diner, ten more minutes until closing and not a soul in sight, even the cook had gone home for the night. Jess took a rag from her apron pocket and walked over to a table full of dishes and uneaten food, picking up a large plastic bin on her way over. Picking up the plates and cups she set them in her bin and started to wipe the table down, lifting up the napkin holder and the salt and pepper shakers as she cleaned. Moving her bin she wiped down the booths, picking up her bin she walked towards the kitchen and pushed open the door with her shoulder, walking across the dim kitchen and setting the bin in the sink. It seemed like a pretty average night, loading the dishwasher, cleaning up the serving counter, cashing out the register, and grabbing the vacuum to clean the floor. She blew a strand of bangs that fell into her face, reaching up and tucking them behind her ear before she started up the vacuum. The light from the street signs outside bounced of her honey brown hair tied up into a messy pony tail, illuminating her slightly sun kissed skin. Every one always told Jess she looked much younger than she really was and she liked it, she loved when they asked for her drivers license at the gas station when she went to buy a pack of smokes. She started to vacuum the floor of the diner, getting under all the tables and moving some of the chairs. It didn't take long the diner was pretty small, and the floor was usually pretty clean, so she turned off the machine, wrapped the chord around the back of the vacuum and rolled it to the back to put it in the broom closet. She huffed and blew her hair out of her face again, her pony tail was getting lose as she tucked her hair to tighten it back and walked towards the door, her cell phone in her right pocket dinging, Jess reached in and looked down at the bright screen.
"Are you coming out tonight?" Beth.
Jess: No, I think I am just gonna go home and relax, thanks thou.
Beth: You're no fun Jess.
Jess: Thanks Beth, love you too.
Jess chuckled to herself as she slid her phone into her back pocket, and she reached into her front pocket and removed a key to lock the door, but as she reached out to put the key in the lock, the front door quickly swung wide open, sending Jess across the diner and slamming her into the counter across the room. She collapsed to the floor with a gasp as a cold breeze filled the room, she rolled over onto her back and looked around, but there was nothing there but flying napkins in the breeze. Her back was now pounding with pain, as was her head, and she thought to herself that what ever just happened was so weird. She growled and shook her head rolling to her side to push herself up growling in pain, but as her hands touched the carpet of the diner, some one or something grabbed her by her shoulder tightly. She was suddenly flipped onto her back, an icy hand clutched her throat, and a black shadowy figure was in her face. Jess tried to let out a scream but the hand around her throat prevented it, as she reached and clawed at the air around her neck trying to get a hold of whatever was strangling her. She knew there was someone there but all her attempts to grab them failed, she gagged and coughed as the shadowy figure leaned towards her face. There were no eyes, nose, or mouth just a black smoggy head shape that seemed to be growling and hissing at her as she cried. "Hellpppp." She whimpered hoping she could be loud enough to get help. The figure lurched towards her and she let out an ear shattering scream. It felt like teeth sunk into right shoulder cutting through her skin like knives when the creature lurched up and let out a growl, then into the center of her chest she felt the teeth again, then again into her left side multiple times, screaming with every bite. She could feel the heat from her blood starting to pool around her body, yet she still felt the cold hands around her throat. She screamed as loud as she could with every bite she felt, but nothing came out of her mouth but gurgles and the taste of blood on her tongue. The creature sat up still holding her by her throat as if it were savoring her blood in it's mouth.
Jess cried out again and again trying to get free, the figure looming back over her face as she swung her fists hoping to hit something, it seemed to be looking studying her. She couldn't make out any facial features, her body was shaking, and now she was losing her sight as everything began to grow fuzzy and dark. She felt another bite on her leg, but now she felt to weak to even cry out as her arms fell down to her sides, the creature sounded as though it were laughing watching the girl die, Jess's head fell to the side facing the door. Suddenly there was a loud bang, like the sound of a gun going off but to Jess it was muffled, she didn't even jump she was just trying to keep her eyes open. The sound echoed off the walls of the diner and the creature or person over Jess let out a loud screech sitting up ontop of the girl, howling in pain as the grip around her neck loosened, Jess took in a sharp breath, her vision getting more and more blury but the faint sight of some one walking towards made her want to cry one last time for help. In a cloud of smoke the creature was gone, ashes falling from the air over the girl. Jess noticed that a man knelt next to her she tried to open her mouth she wanted to ask for help, but she was to weak. Another blurry figure walked up behind the first and Jess could hear them speaking but couldn't make out any words, she tried to reach up to grab the man's hand to let him know she was still alive, and as her arm moved the man jumped. "Help me." She whispered. The man lurched forward and set his hand on her forehead, it felt icy and Jess didn't mind the cool feeling, it felt better that the hot blood covering her body. "Easy, it's okay, you're gonna be alright." The man spoke to Jess and Jess tried to listen but the words were to hard to understand over the ringing in her ears, and the pounding of her heart. Suddenly another figure appeared behind the other two, pushing past them the figure knelt next to her and the other two were stepping back. She tried to open her mouth again, but the man pushed her wet hair out of her face, and she felt a warm hand on her shoulder it stung and kind of burned, but Jess saw a blue light coming from her shoulder where the man's hand was, she moaned and tried to move her head. A rush of cool energy pulsed through her body, blinked a few times and moved her head to look up at the ceiling, her eyes were getting heavier and she became very tired and in a matter of seconds Jess was asleep.
Dean sighed and ran his hand through his hair before tucking his gun into the rim of jeans and covering it with his shirt, looking back down towards the girl, her face covered in blood. Sam looked at Castiel who was getting to his feet the glow dimming from his hand and eyes as he looked at the two brothers and spoke."She's asleep, I don't want to try and heal her here." Castiel explained and Dean nodded and patted Castiel on the shoulder as he started walking to the girl kneeling to pick her up bridal style, one arm under her knees and one arm behind her back just under her arms. "Yeah let's get her out of here before we find out if that thing had friends." Sam agreed as he stood up and turned towards the other two and walked for the door, followed by Dean, then Castiel. It was raining outside now, the air was cold and fog billowed from the exhaust of the car waiting outside. Sam jogged over to the car in front of his brother and opened the passenger side door, Dean leaned in and carefully set the girl in the back seat taking off his long sleeved over shirt and covered her upper body. Dean stood up and made his way to the driver's side looking at Castiel,"we'll meet you back at the hotel." Castiel nodded and disappeared. Sam got into the passenger seat and closed the door, Dean already in waiting for his brother. "What was that thing?" Dean whispered looking in the rear view mirror at the girl then to his brother."I don't know but he wanted her dead for some reason, let's get her back so Cass can heal her and we can find out more." Dean nodded and put the car in drive as they pulled away from the diner. That was the night Jess's life was turned upside down, she thought she was an average girl, nothing special, nothing more than a waitress working towards buying a house.
