Author Notes: I've finally decided to sit down and type out all of The Winchester Sister Tales in a chronological story format. I'll still keep updating the tales because they are my bases for the general ideas I wanted to cover in this story, but this is the chronological order of everything involving Jayne, Dean, Sam and everyone else. No confusing time jumps.
I'll try to update this as often as possible. I'd appreciate reviews to know how I'm doing on this. I've literally poured everything into this and fleshed out Jayne like crazy and I'm just super excited for others to read the beauty I have here.

The Winchester Sister Tales: The Story
Chapter 1: Don't you Worry Child
"Don't you worry, Don't you worry child, see Heaven's got a plan for you..." - Madilyn Bailey, Don't you Worry Child.
May 20th, 1987
Wells Family Residence, Kansas
This story begins on a night in late May of 1987. A baby girl has just been born to the couple Mr. and Mrs. Wells. The cries of the baby could be heard by the other people in the next room waiting patiently for everything to go smoothly. Mr. Wells rushes out of the room to greet his friend John Winchester and his two boys Dean and Sam Winchester.
"Thank you my friend for coming out to help us through this." Mr. Wells hugged John.
"Anything for an old friend." He replied.
"Want to come in and see our little girl?" Mr. Wells had a huge smile on his face.
Young Sam, who was only 4, looked up to his Dad with a sigh. "Do we have to Dad?"
"Come on Sammy! These are Mom and Dad's friends. We need to show some kindness." Dean, who was 8, told his little brother. He took his hand and they walked into the room behind their Dad to see Mrs. Wells laying in bed with her new baby daughter.
"I'd like you to meet Jayne Wells." Mrs. Wells told them, cradling the baby in her arms. "Jayne means Gift from God and is a feminine form of John."
John chuckled at this and noticed the babies bold blue eyes. Sam and Dean looked to her in curiosity and maybe, just maybe, a little awe.
"She's beautiful." John replied, some tears forming in his eyes over the fact that Mary was gone and he could never have another child with her again. Though it had only been 4 years since his wife's death, the loss was still fresh with him.
Mr. Wells put a hand to his shoulder. "I'm still sorry about the loss of Mary. She was a wonderful person."
John nodded quietly in reply. Dean gripped Sammy's hand a little tighter, making the young boy looked worried.
Suddenly the sound of a phone ringing was heard as John picked it up. It was a call for a hunt he was currently in the middle of investigating before he stopped by to check on his fellow friends and hunters.
"Sorry, but I better be heading out now. Thank you for letting me leave Sam and Dean with you for now." The hunter looked down to his boys. "Behave and wait for me here. They will take good care of you while I'm gone."
"Yes Sir." Dean replied and with that John left.
"Stay careful out there friend!" Mr. Wells told him.
Dean and Sam looked back over to the Wells thinking that at least it was better to be waiting here with other hunters instead of in a hotel room for their Dad to return.
Mr. Wells walked over to the boys. "Alright, would you boys like to watch TV?" They both nodded. "Honey, I'll be back."
"Very well." Mrs. Wells said, looking into her baby girls eyes. "Angels are watching over you my dear Jayne."
Little did the mother know in that moment that an angel was watching over her in fact. An archangel to be precise and it was the same angel that would watch her fall asleep every night she was put into her bed. This little girl was special, but they had no idea how special she was meant to be for God had plans for this little one just like he did for everyone else.
A destiny was set in place whether she wanted to follow it or not, and there was no stopping what is just about to begin. But at least this archangel could watch over her and help ease her through it. It was the least he could do knowing what will come her way in life.
Halloween Night, 1987
Wells Family Residence, Kansas
Screaming, blood, and crying was all that rang out through the Wells Family Residence. After celebrating Halloween and calling it a night, the couple put their daughter to sleep in her bed. I bid her goodnight like always once they left the room. The baby would just giggle and try to reach out towards me, which was interesting in the fact she could see me in my true form with no bad effects.
I dare not stay around her too long incase some of my family members who were looking for me ended up coming here to try and find me. They knew what she was to me, which is why I would bid her goodnight and then flee right after. I just wish I had stayed a little longer that night to help prevent this.
Demons had sneaked into the house and come after the hunter couple. I don't what happened after that, but from the looks of the scene they had put up quite the fight, but weren't successful. Azazel was behind the attack and was after Jayne after hearing how special the girl was. I felt something was wrong with Jayne and rushed over to check it out. The moment Azazel saw me, he gave a threat of saying he would be back for her and ran like a coward with his tail between his legs.
Just in that moment is when i heard footsteps running up the stairs and John Winchester burst into the room. After not hearing back from his hunter friends for a while, John felt something was wrong and rushed over to check on them. Walking into the house to the scene before him was horrific and brought back bad memories of Mary. Their bodies lie on the floor in defeat. All he heard was the sounds of someone talking and the cries of Jayne as he rushed up.
I left the scene knowing she would be in good hands. It was meant to end up this way after all. And just like that, John took Jayne into his care and made her into a Winchester. My father's plan was starting to go into motion.
Seattle, Washington
January 31, 2001
Fourteen-year old Jayne Winchester and her brother Sam Winchester are dropped off at their high school they are currently attending by their father and brother. Closing the door behind them, the siblings begin to walk away but are stopped.
"Whoa, hold on." John calls out. "Watch out for your sister. We'll be back at 3."
"Yes sir." Sam answered.
"Stay strong our Freshman!" Dean winked and chuckled at her.
"No one is making fresh meat out of me!" Jayne replied back jokingly, laughing.
"That's my girl!"
Sam began to whisk her away as they rode off in the Impala. Jayne sighed, sad to watch them go. At least she had Sam by her side in school for a little longer until graduation happened this year. The said brother nudged her playfully and she responded with chuckling. "Sammy!"
"Perk up Angel. I know Christmas break is over and you'd rather be doing something else, but we are here now. So we are suffering together."
Jayne looked down sadly. "But not for long once graduation rolls around."
Sam stopped his sister in her tracks. "I know. It's not like I want to leave your side. You know how sad Dean was about it, but you only have 3 more years after this t go."
The Winchester sister groaned. "Oh great."
Sam grimaced, realizing that wasn't the best thing to say. "I-It's nothing though. It will go by fast before you know it."
She breathed in, nodding. "If you say so, then fine."
He nodded with her. "I mean it. That's how it is going for me anyway. You'll survive it. You've already survived through a lot."
"I know. Now, let's just hope I can survive P.E." She looked disgusted.
Sam bid his sister the best of luck and watched her go. His hidden messages didn't seem to reach her. He felt bad hiding the truth about Jayne's parents from her. John had thought it best to raise her as a Winchester and not tell her of her true origins, but was it the right thing to do?
Jayne was leaning on a wall breathing heavily, taking a breather from the game of flag football the students were playing. She didn't really need to take a break, instead she was standing back and analyzing how her team could win this game before she went back in for the take.
It was hard to concentrate though since she hasn't been getting a good night's sleep lately. These crazy, weird and terrifying dreams were waking her up. She thought maybe they were caused by eating sugar before she went to bed every night.
Though her family had an interest in the Supernatural, the cause of it couldn't be anything more than sugar before bed.
She thought on it more until a guy in a suit was blocking her vision. A confused and surprised look came over her face. This was probably one of the other teachers in the school. He was dressed nice like all the others, and heck, even looked a bit cute. She mentally slapped herself at that. "What is it?"
"I'm Mick Davies. You must come with my immediately."
Oh, the British accent took her by surprise, but even more so, the desperation in his voice. She jolted up with worry. Did something happen to Sam? Dean and their father? "Why? What's wrong?"
"Everything is perfectly fine." He reassured her. "I just need to have a word with you is all."
She looked to him with a raised brow as they walked off into a more private area. "Okay."
"I'm Mick Davies and I'm with the British Men of Letters. I've come for you because you have been chosen."
She blinked her wide eyes at him. "Chosen for what exactly?"
"To be the Slayer."
Jayne nodded her head, her body language displaying disbelief in all he was saying. "Sure..."
Mick sighed, knowing he wasn't getting anywhere. "I can see you don't believe me, and it sounds crazy, but I would have thought coming from your family you'd have some belief with all the things you encounter."
Wait, has this guy been spying on her family? Her eyes narrowed at him briefly, before surveying a way to escape him. "You're right, everything you're telling me sounds crazy, but stalking my family and I takes the cake right there!" She went to attack him, but he managed to stop her as they both struggled. Jayne was about to bite him before he let go. "Hey! Listen, I'm not going to hurt you. I don't want to hurt you! I'm just here to tell you the news and get you trained as soon as possible."
"And why should I believe you exactly?"
"Have you been having strange, even violent nightmares? Dreams that you were other girls? Ones with Demons, Angels and Supernatural creatures?"
Her eyes went a bit wide. "Yeah, everyone has weird dreams once in a while. Lucky guess! Try again."
"What about one's about fighting Lucifer and his army of demons?" He noticed her eyes go even wider, realizing he got through to her. "Is that specific enough for you?"
Her voice became shakey. "Y-Yeah." She felt chills go down her spine, shaking from it. "It's me and these girls from my dreams. They keep telling me I have to stop Lucifer and his army from destroying the world. Is it just a case of too much sugar before bed?"
Mick chuckled, starting to explain. "No. It's because of the fact this is your destiny and it's calling to you. You are the next girl chosen to be the Slayer."
"The Slayer?"
"Into every generation there is a chosen one. One girl in all the world. She alone will stand against the vampires, demons and forces of Darkness. The mother of all hunters. She will stop Lucifer and his demonic army. She is the Slayer."
Jayne groaned. "And here I thought P.E was too much. What a bunch of nonsense."
Mick sighed, seeing she was having a hard time with all this. "I've been searching for you all this time. I'm sure with some of the hunting skills your family has passed onto you, you will do just fine. It is your destiny after all."
"If what you say is true, then yes. But will I still be trained though?"
He nodded. "Of course, under my watchful eye. I am your assigned watcher after all."
Jayne crossed her arms. "I'm sorry to still be skeptical about this, blame it on my brothers and Dad. They taught me not to trust strangers completely, but how can I believe all you have to say is true?"
"Ah, yes, of course." Mick nodded, expecting this to happen. "I believe your father and brother are working a case involving a ghost who hung herself at this very school. Meet me in the lunch halls at 8pm, and bring your family if you want. We can talk this over and I'll show you the truth."
"Yeah, whatever."
Jayne had told her brothers and their father about everything that happened with Mick and her destiny as The Slayer. Sam and Dean commented here and there saying they would beat up the creep the next time he comes across their little sister. John on the other hand was silent, processing this new and shocking news. He heard of the Slayer and knew what she was all about. Why did Jayne have to be chosen as the new Slayer?
This made John fear for his daughter. He tried to give her as much of a normal life as he could after the death of her parents, but he should have known he wouldn't be able to prevent it. All he could continue to do at this point was shield her from the truth of what happened to her parents by continuing to be her father.
He never told her the truth of what happened and never would to protect her. Dean and Sam were hesitant about it, but agree to protect Jayne along with their father.
But now it was revealed she was the Slayer and that meant once demons and supernatural creatures found out her identity, she would be targeted.
"Mick wants us to meet him at the school tonight. He said he would talk about being the Slayer and go on that little ghost hunt you guys are here for." Jayne looked up to her brothers, giving a not so amused look.
Dean jolted up again. "Not only is he spying on our sister, but us as well!" He started yelling around the motel room. "Alright, come out you creep!"
"Dean, enough!" John told him, finally speaking. "We will check out this Mick guy and see if what he has to say is true."
"What if its a trap Dad?" Sam asked.
"Then we will be prepared for it. Grab the equipment and lets go." John told them, giving Sam and Dean a certain look that told them it was about Jayne.
Noticing this the boys the boys packed up the Impala and Jayne walked out to see them filling the trunk with different kinds of weapons. A pentagram was sprayed on the top of the inside trunk. Sam and Dean quickly slammed the trunk close to avoid her from seeing it, but they knew they were too late.
Jayne's eyebrows narrowed. "What's up with the trunk? Why do you need that many weapons?" Her brothers remained silent. "You're just ghost hunters...right?"
John came out and shook his head at the boys, telling them to say nothing before getting in the drivers seat.
Sam went to help his sister into the backseat. "Yes...and no. Come on Jayne, let's sit together."
It was silent on the car ride over there. Jayne was wondering if her father and brothers were more than just ghost hunters. Things were getting weird today and she hoped it would be over soon. Little did she know, it wasn't by a long shot.
John pulled the impala up to the school as the car's lights stopped on the figure of Mick standing outside in front of the school, waiting on them.
"Look at that smug bastard grinning at us." Dean commented, getting out of the car.
Before Dean could start anything, John stopped him by going up to greet him. "Mick I take it?"
"John Winchester. I see Jayne has told you my message."
"Yes, she did. So, what's this of you telling my daughter she's the Slayer?"
Mick began to explain. "As you know John, the British Men of Letters is not only hunters, but also watchers who are responsible for guiding the Slayer with her duties. We keep an eye out for who will be the next slayer and make sure to train her in proper time before...well...something bad happens."
This sent a chill down Jayne's back. "What do you mean? What is going on here?"
John continued to speak. His eyes narrowing at Mick. "Oh, I know. But how do you know if my daughter is the Slayer?"
Mick took out a dagger and threw it directly at Jayne. Before John and her brothers could react to stop it, she had already caught it in between her hands. They looked to her wide eyed and Jayne dropped it, realizing what she had done. "The reflexes of a slayer. Only the Slayer could have done something like that."
"I can't believe I caught that!" Jayne yelled, both in shock and awe.
Mick walked up to her, but Sam and Dean blocked him from their sister. "Tell them the dreams you told me you are have about having to stop Lucifer and his army of demons and how you dream of being different girls."
Jayne looked to him perplexed.
John noticed and asked, "Is it true Jayne?"
She nodded slowly.
A dark laughter rang through the night, catching the attention of the others. Jayne's nose curled up over the disgusting smell that began to surround them. "I must say thank you for finding the slayer for us." A person walked out and their eyes looked black. "Now we know who to kill."
The guys took their weapons out, already expecting some kind of fight. Jayne looked wide eyed at the demon. The demon went to attack Jayne, but the Winchester men lunged towards it. The demon threw them around like they were nothing more than rag dolls no matter how many times they got back up. Mick went to attack this time, but the demon lifted him up in the air by his shirt.
"Jayne!" Mick shouted out to get her attention. "Kill him!"
She looked to her brother's gun on the ground, debating if she could reach it in time. Quick to make a decision before something bad happened, she grabbed an iron pole that was holding a sign, pulling it from the ground with ease to her surprise, and threw it at the demon without hitting Mick.
The demon cried out in pain, it's skin burning. Black smoke suddenly burst out of it's mouth and flew into the ground and the body fell on the ground.
"It escaped." Mick looked displeased.
"It's gone." John said, giving a sigh of relief. "I sent it back to where it belongs."
Dean looked to his sister, who was still frozen. He held out his hand for her. "Let me help you up."
She didn't reach out to accept his hand he held out for her. "No." She said. Her eyes began to water, a look of fear on her face. "This can't be happening."
"Jayne..." Sam spoke, looking to her with worry.
Dean kneeled down and put his arm around her, but she smacked it away, jolting up. "What was that thing?"
Mick walked up to her. "That was a demon, which you will be fighting against along with any other supernatural creatures from here on out." Jayne looked to him with wide eyes as he got face to face with her. He turned and began to walk away. "Training begins tomorrow after school. Good luck with the ghost." He looked to John. "I'm sure you can handle it though with the slayer by your side."
The Winchester men turned to Jayne, who was still wide-eyed over her newly discovered destiny.
John walked to his daughter. She finally looked to him, her face had confusion all over it. "I'm starting to think you guys are more than just ghost hunters from all the weapons in the back of the trunk to the way you were just talking with Mick there. Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
John sighed. "We're hunters."
"So, you're like him! A men of letters?!" Jayne exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Yes."
She looked to her brothers. "You guys as well?"
They both nodded.
"Anything else you're hiding from me?"
"No." John replied.
Jayne let out a sigh she had been holding. "I don't know how I'm going to handle this."
"Welcome to the family business." Dean said, taking his sister in a hug to comfort her, but also shield her from the expressions her brother and father were sharing among each other. A look of worry and sadness over knowing the world they were trying to protect her from had found a way to come into her life and would change it, whether she wanted it to or not. It was part of the family business after all.
