Demonology and Heartache

CHAPTER ONE

I found myself trudging for days on end, hitch hiking when I could, but when you've got a bloody slashed up back, that's not always reassuring to drivers when you need a drive.

I'm 17 years old and I've just survived a Supernatural attack somehow. I have no idea how or why, but my parents were killed by…well, I don't know what it was. I wish Dean were there; maybe he could have saved them and me. I guess my prayers weren't answered that night because that was the one night I wasn't with my boyfriend and his little brother Sam. That was the night we were moving house, to a completely new town god knows where because my father hated Dean Winchester that much.

If Dean had come anywhere near our house as we were packing the boxes into the truck and van; he probably would have shot him there and then. The boys saw me off after school, that's when I hugged Dean for the last time to my father's dismay. I dropped a copy of Pride and Prejudice into his leather coat pocket, to anyone else that would seem really weird. Truth was, he told me even though he wouldn't understand the language and style of writing probably he would read it, learn the story for me. Pride and Prejudice is my all time favourite book- I've read it countless times and even quoted from it when I got into awkward moments with Dean. He said it was my 'cute quirk'. I find myself smirking at that memory. Then I trip over a rock in the middle of the dirt road bringing my mind back to the reality.

I'm almost into South Dakota- Sioux Falls to be exact. I'm making my way to my last remaining member of my family: Bobby Singer. He's my uncle and I know he can help me and more importantly take me in and bring me up from now on. I'm crying like I have been for about 4 days now, the many memories of the life before and the memories of the attack. I still can't get that creature's appearance out of my mind. It was so thin looking, yet so tall and strong. It was human looking, yet so animalistic at the same time- it was super fast. It screamed as it tore through my parents' bodies like they were steak on someone's plate. It had pinned me to the ground when I attempted to run, before my foot left the ground it had tackled me to the floor. It began to tear his hands through my flesh on my back, the pain was the worst pain I had ever felt in my entire life.

I screamed for Dean to help me, but I knew he was nowhere near to even hear my pleas, then this bright light just came out of nowhere and engulfed me, causing this thing to screech in pain and writher. I squinted my eyes to see enough through the light, to see the creature jump off of me and sprint off in a blink of an eye- it was in pain. I don't understand it, how can light be so harmful to something like that? None of it made sense, and it got even weirder when the light died down around me and seemed to disappear like it went inside of me- inside my chest. I must have imagined it from the pain I was suffering.

Hours seem to have gone by, my head is light headed by this time, so I am losing track of time. I can tell I have lost a ridiculous amount of blood- surely I must be dead by now. My back isn't healing very well, though some of the gashes are beginning to heal, there were 3 more that aren't, and I can feel the blood pour down my back.

I look up and see the sign I recognise, even with blurry eyes, I know I have somehow made it to my destination. My clothes are dirty and ripped, my shoes are falling apart and I know I stink to high heaven even though I tried to wash as best as I could in garage restrooms; but it wasn't the same as a good shower. I limp and sway my way to the main house's front door and with the last of my strength and energy I knock on the door…

3 DAYS LATER

I wake up on my front on my uncle's sofa. I don't remember much; I look around and wonder how the hell I got to this sofa. "Thank God" I hear being said, so I turn my head and see Bobby my uncle walking into the room and kneeling down beside me, sweeping my dyed red hair off my face.

"Uncle? How…" I ask him, looking at him. "I found you on my doorstep passed out, you used the last of your energy to bang on my door and luckily I was already in the hallway when you knocked… your knock was so feeble I probably wouldn't have heard it if I was in another room… I opened the door and saw you out cold on your front with your back barely still there… I've been so worried about you girl," He explains to me. I try to think back, managing to remember knocking on his door. It couldn't have been easy for him to of carried me.

"What the hell happened Mika? Where are Kurt and your Mother?" He asks me, and it is at that point, that I look down away from his concerned gaze. "Something attacked us…." I mumble, trying to hold back the tears that are now aching to escape my eyes. "Something?" He asks tilting my head up to make me look at him again. I just nod in his hand.

"It was horrible uncle… it was tall, lanky but fast and strong… it looked like an animal but human at the same time…it just ri… it just ripped my dad apart…then my mom… it was…ea…eating them Bobby…" I try my hardest to explain the story hoping that he will believe me. Then I recall Dean mentioning about Bobby helping him and his family out at times, so he has to believe me…right?

I find myself crying again, almost shaking with the fear of the memory of what happened. "Hey…hey…shh…" Bobby tries to calm me down, and instead he just grabs my shoulders and pulls me into his shirt, which I end up gripping like I had done to Dean and cry on his shirt.

"I believe you Mika… I have a feeling I know what did this, but I just gotta get up and grab a book to make sure…" He tells me, brushing his hand down my hair, before pulling me away from him and getting up. I watch as he walks across the room to his bookshelf behind his study desk that is already piled with papers and books. He grabs an old leather bound book flicking through it, before coming back to me. "Can you look through these images and tell me if one of them is what you saw?" He asks me the craziest question. It is a book of supernatural creatures and legends. Sure, I had seen a couple of supernatural things whilst I was with Dean, but this is just too much.
