This story starts when a girl witnessed a murder. She was 15 years old, the summer had just begun in Canada, and this girl's name was Lia Mysterie. Lia could hear her parents having a scream off in the kitchen, Lia wasn't listening though, she already had problems to deal with, and she didn't need another one. Lia heard footsteps get closer to her door, she waited for her father or mother to open the door and start screaming at her, and after all she wasn't the most innocent of teenagers. But no, nothing happened, Lia looked at the bottom of the door, there were the shadows of feet, Lia figured it was nothing, so she just looked outside her window, the blackness of the sky stared back at her.
Until, Lia heard some scraping of metal, or something like that. Lia never really heard that before, she looked back to the door, the shadows were still there. So what was going on? Lia wondered if the sound had something to do with the swords hanging on the wall. But no, it wouldn't have anything to do with that, after all her parents had stopped screaming, but there was no sound of a crash or a door opening before that. Until, she watched the shadows leave, and she heard a voice.
"You can't be serious. You wouldn't actually- not over something like this!" Her mother's voice echoed into the room.
"No! I can't take it anymore! I can't take you anymore." Her father's voice almost sounded unnatural, Lia had never heard such anger. Lia slowly crept out of her bedroom.
"What about our children?" She asked.
"To heck with the children!" He bellowed.
Lia walked down the hallway, and in the kitchen were her parents and her father carrying a sword in his hands, then he moved his hands with a swift motion, and the sword pierced through her mother's stomach. Lia gasped, surprised, her father heard Lia and he turned and saw her, and then he dashed out the door. Lia ran towards her mother, but it was no use, she was dead.
Lia wanted to get away from all this, no tears streamed down her face; she had to be a strong girl. She didn't know where to go; she was just 15 and her brother only 13. Then a thought came to her, her older sister whom was 21 years old. Lia ordered her brother to pack up, she did the same, she phoned the police before they left, but she didn't want to be around when they came, so she called her sister and waited on the sidewalk, next to her brother. Personally she didn't want to go with her sister, she just wanted to get out of town, but she was only 15 years old, she didn't know how to take care of herself.
Lia stayed at her sister's house for days, though they seemed like years. Lia rarely walked outside, she didn't go to school, she didn't want to and she was stubborn. Then one day her sister forced her out of the house so that she could get some fresh air, and Lia went to the nearest park.
The first thing she noticed was the quietness, well to her it seemed quiet, but in reality there were kids screaming and laughing, but Lia wasn't focused on that, she was focused on a strange man sitting down on a bench, he had a blank look on his face as he stared into nothing. But Lia sensed he was lonely, she didn't know why she sensed this but she also believed that he was a nice man. So she walked up to him and sat beside him, nobody would have dared to do such a feat; they believed he was too strange and too different from everybody else.
"Hello there, my name's Lia, what's yours?" She asked in the friendliest tone she could.
The man snapped out of his out-of-state, out-of-mind look and he looked around, then realizing Lia was talking to him, he looked at her surprised, "Bob."
Lia sat down on the bench beside him, "Nice to meet you. You seem kind of lonely though. Am I right?"
The man smiled warmly, it didn't look like he smiled in a long time, and "Yes I am why don't you tell me about yourself Lia?"
So Lia told Bob about what happened to her mother and her father and how she was currently living with her sister, but she wasn't so fond of it and she wanted to get out of town. Bob listened intently, he comforted her and he told her a few things about himself, like how he lived alone in a house close to the forest in Toronto, Ontario, he had only traveled this far west because he liked traveling. Lia knew that though he sounded like he enjoyed the solitude, he really didn't.
After that day, Lia would go to the park every afternoon after school (Bob had convinced her to get her education) and she would talk to her friend. After a few weeks she had a fight with her brother, she stormed out of the house to talk to Bob, but sadly Bob had bad news. He was going back home the next day. Lia didn't want to risk losing her friend, so she suggested she stay with him. It took a while for her to convince him but in the end he accepted. Lia packed up and left, saying a quick goodbye to her sister and brother.
Lia went towards the park, she looked around but she didn't see Bob, until he got out of his sleek black truck. He gave her a warm welcoming smile and he took her stuff and put it in the back of the truck.
"I call shotgun!" Lia called out. This made Bob chuckle.
Lia got inside the truck, they started driving for a while, listening to some Classic Rock, and Lia couldn't help but fall in love with the music. They stopped at a few diners, after all, they had to travel across Canada, and so Lia ordered some cheeseburgers and apple pies and Pepsi. Fast food was always Lia's favourite and that never changed. Then eventually a few days later (They stopped at Motels) they reached their final destination.
Lia liked the look of the house, it wasn't small, but it wasn't huge either. It was made entirely of log. The look of the house suited the forest background that surrounded it; the forest went in a semi-circle around the house, and stared at the black highway and fields. Lia knew this would be perfect for her 'new' life.
Soon Bob signed some papers saying that he had adopted Lia. The town was 20 minutes away from the house, but Lia was used to long drives, in fact, she liked cars a lot. While living with her new foster-father, Lia found out that Bob was a car mechanic, and every day when she got home there would be a new car and he would be fixing it. Then Bob would call her over and teach her stuff about cars, and then the passion for cars bloomed inside Lia.
Soon she knew everything about cars, how to fix 'em, how to drive 'em, and all the types of cars. One day Bob brought a '67 Chevy Impala to the house, some guy needed it fixed, and Lia was so excited, this was her favourite car of them all, she helped Bob fix it and then he let her drive it. Lia drove it that's for sure; in fact she went into town and picked up a cute guy. Then she came back and Bob wondered why her hair was all messed up.
Another day be brought home a black motorcycle, it looked absolutely terrible, but Lia took her time and soon it was fixed, and very shiny. Bob said that he found the motorcycle at a junkyard, but he didn't see why the person would have left it there if it only needed some fixing and a nice paint job, and Bob kept it, he would let Lia drive it to school when she was in a rush, but that was the only time she would ever ride it.
Cars weren't her only passion, she would sing along with AC/DC on the stereo, but for some reason she wanted a black leather jacket, she told Bob this but he said it was too expensive. She did like boys a lot, one day she brought a guy home, and Bob did not approve, so she ended up staying out late, and you can imagine what happened. In fact Lia was gorgeous! All the guys wanted her; only the lucky ones would be a one-night-stand.
Lia's features weren't special, well she thought this, but she was very wrong, the only distinct features to her were her silvery blue eyes and her long light brown hair that she would do in many different styles. Her clothes weren't fancy, just a purple tank top and some ripped blue jeans. (Purple was her favourite color) but the reason her jeans were ripped was because Bob taught her how to fight, and she was a natural fighter and really good at it.
Not only did Bob teach her about cars but he also taught her the most important thing: How to survive on your own. He taught her everything like: How to steal, how to open safes, how to sneak around, how to cook, and how to do laundry. All the important stuff in life! It took her a while to learn how to do laundry and cook, but the thievery and the guns went by like a breeze.
One night on a full moon, an exact year since Lia had stayed with Bob, Lia was practicing her shooting, she didn't know why she should, since her shot was already perfect, and then Lia swore she heard rustling in the bushes, she looked over but there was nothing, so she kept shooting. Then tired from the long night, she walked inside, only it seemed quiet; there wasn't any noise, Lia found this a bit odd. So she entered the kitchen, and there was Bob, lying on the ground, his guts and blood splattered everywhere. That wasn't the thing that really caught Lia's eye though. It was the thing that crouched in front of it, head bent low.
Then it heard Lia, it looked up and stared at her, Lia had a better view of this monstrous creature. It had long teeth and long fingernails as well. Of course there was the blood around its mouth and chin, but the eyes were wolf-like and were slits. Then it ran and it ran right out the door, leaving Lia. At once Lia knew what the creature was, a werewolf. She didn't know how else she knew, but she just did. Lia ran upstairs and searched her room, she found silver bullets, and she loaded her gun and ran into the forest where the werewolf left a trace of blood and footprints. Then Lia found it, raised her gun to it, one BANG later and in a few seconds, the thing was dead.
Lia walked back to the house, she dug a six-foot deep hole and she walked inside the house and dragged Bob's body into the grave. Lia covered the grave up and put a stick in front of it. Lia bowed her head; she was very upset, though she didn't exactly show it. Then she walked inside and walked into Bob's old bedroom, she walked up to a painting that hung over his bed, Lia noticed the hinges on it long ago when months ago she had woke him up for breakfast, she moved the painting and saw a safe, she put her ear to the safe and tried to open it. Soon it was opened, Lia shuffled through some stuff, some wasn't important, like bills. Then she found some cash, but she left that, she found something and she sat down on the bed and looked at it.
It was Bob's will. Lia read through it, apparently Bob didn't know anybody really, since he left most of his stuff to Lia. He left her his motorcycle, his guns, his money, and a black leather jacket. Lia looked back into the vault and there was something in the back, Lia pulled it out and there it was, a black leather jacket, tears streamed down Lia's face as she put the black leather jacket on, she also grabbed the cash, there was quite a bit, so she stuffed her pockets. Then she looked back at the will. He left her the house as well, but Lia knew she wouldn't be staying here again; she wouldn't be able to bear staying in the house that her foster-father died in.
Lia walked into her bedroom and she fell asleep, knowing that it would be the last time she would sleep on the bed, then when morning dawned in Lia started packing, she put the weapons in her purple duffle bag that she got for Christmas, along with some clothes, she wouldn't be able to take much. Then Lia hopped onto her new motorcycle and rode off.
Lia became a huntress, and some would say a thumpin' good one at that. It was true, she was a natural, and amongst some hunters she was well known. She never got paid for the hunting job of course, but she got her money by singing at clubs or bars, or hustling pool, or sometimes even playing poker. Lia would even hook up with lots of boys as well, she faked her age as well, until she became 18 of course, she would get fake I.D's, you name it, she also liked to drink beer. Years went by, and quite a few terrible things happened, Lia tries not to remember what happened though. More years passed and Lia was still in the hunting career. This time it happened to be a werewolf hunt.
Lia happened to be in Richmond California. Lia hopped off her motorcycle, she took her purple duffle bag and walked inside the hotel and walked straight up to the guy behind the desk and asked for a room.
"What's your name?" He asked; his fingers on the keys of his computer.
"Veronica Bennett," She lied, Veronica Bennett was the lead singer of the band called the Ronettes.
"What kind of bed would you like?" He asked dryly, not looking up from his computer.
"A queen," Lia stated simply, "I'll be staying for about 3 days."
Then the man said the price of her room, Lia paid him the cash, and then she realized she was running out of money. She heaved a great sigh, and then the man gave her the key to her hotel room. Lia walked towards the elevator and inside, she hit the number 4, since her room was 404. Lia hummed Enter Sandman by Metallica, until the elevator dinged and the doors opened. Lia walked up to her room and used the key to unlock the door; she walked inside and threw her duffle bag on the bed. Lia opened her duffle bag and shuffled through all her weapons until she found some bottles of beer, she put those in the mini fridge, then she walked back to the duffle bag, grabbed her clothes and stuffed them randomly in the dresser beside the queen bed.
Then she looked at the mirror, she tipped her head and saw the vampire bite that she was given a few days before in the vampire nest, but she ganked the monster before it could kill her, she wished she had someone to hunt with, or else it wouldn't have happened, she had been in a lot of times where she was close to death, but it still would have been better if she had another hunter with her. She sighed and she sat down on the chair, and rubbed her forehead, remembering what she found out.
A girl was killed, her heart was missing, Lia knew and cared only this much, but this was around a month ago, so Lia had to wait 'till tomorrow, to find out who the werewolf was, and kill it before it killed another innocent person, well as innocent as a human could get anyway. Lia stood up, walked downstairs into the bar, she saw there was a stage, so she walked up to the bartender.
"Hello. Could I sing up there for some cash? I'm... ha... kind of running out." Lia said with a smile. The bartender was cleaning a glass; he had one of those tropical t-shirts on and a gold chain necklace and he was balding.
"Sure sweetheart, start whenever you'd like." He said with a smile.
Lia walked up on the stage and began singing.
Lia woke up in some hot guy's bed; she grabbed her clothes, got dressed, and walked out the door. Down to the hotel room, she saw the bartender there.
"Oh hey, I didn't get my cash yesterday, I kind of..." She laughed, "Left with a guy. Could I have it now?"
The bartender walked over to the cash register and handed her a fifty, "You tend to leave with guys a lot?"
Lia shrugged, "You could say that, I never get too attached, I'm just a one-night stand kind of girl. My name's Lia by the way." She didn't bother with a different name; she just didn't say her last name.
"Bill." The man said simply, "Anyways unless you want a drink..."
"No I'm good," Lia said, she stood up and left the bar, then up to her room and walked to the mini fridge and grabbed a beer, then she cracked it open, she did want a drink, but just didn't want to pay for it. Nothing much happened after that, she just drove her motorcycle to storage, which was just down the road from the hotel room, she handed the man some money, then headed back to the hotel. She only put it into storage because she didn't want anyone to steal it; even if she had the keys it wasn't hard to steal a motorcycle. Then a lot of hours past and she went downstairs to sing for more cash. She walked up on the stage and began to sing Black Velvet by Alannah Myles.
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Two boys walked into the bar, one shorter and one taller, Lia thought the shorter one was really hot though, she couldn't keep her eyes off him, but she kept on singing, then he sat at the bar.
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Lia couldn't hear what the two boys were saying. The short guy, Dean Winchester, sat at the bar, along with his brother Sam, who took out his laptop. Dean rolled his eyes and looked at the bartender, "I'd like a beer please."
Bill nodded and looked at Sam, "Anything for you?" He asked, already taking out a cold beer. Sam didn't look up; he only stared at his computer screen, "No thanks."
Dean popped open his beer, then he heard a girl singing, he turned around, and raised his eyebrows, and she was good looking and a good singer.
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Lia kept looking at the guy she saw before, and she still kept singing. "I see you've taking a liking to Lia, she's a good looker I'll give ya that and an excellent singer, she just brought a boy up to her room last night," then Bill chuckled, "Haven't seen him since, but I'd think you'd be lucky if she took you up tonight."
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Dean looked at the bartender, then he smiled, but before he said anything the bartender looked up at Lia, and then he noticed she was looking at Dean. "Well you're in luck; I think she's taken a liking to you."
Dean looked back at Lia, and then he saw her wink at him quickly.
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
You do?
Lia knew the song was almost over, then she'd walk over to the guy, hey maybe she'd even get into bed with him. "Oh shit!" she thought, she forgot about the werewolf hunt. Oh well, he'd have to wait until the werewolf had a hole in its heart.
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Dean was glad that this girl look a liking to him, not like it hadn't happened before, but this girl was smoking hot. He drank some more of his beer and listened to her sing, he recognized it as the song from Alannah Myles, but she sang it so much better.
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
If you please, if you please, if you please
Lia heard all the cheers and wolf-whistles, but she ignored them and walked straight to the hot guy, as she got closer she saw he had greenish eyes, but they looked kind of hazel as well. She sat right next to him, and looked at him. "Hey."
Dean grinned, "Hey, name's Dean. You're Lia right?"
"You bet." Lia grinned back.
Dean looked at Bill, "Another beer please."
"Just take the cash off from my singing." Lia said. Then Bill reached into the register, handed Lia her cash, but there was a little missing, then he grabbed her beer and handed it to her. Lia cracked it open and took a swig. Then she looked at Dean, then her eyes trailed to the guy beside him, she couldn't see what he was doing though. Then Dean saw her eyes trail there, "My brother Sam."
Lia nodded, "I see. So then pretty boy," she crossed her legs and took another swig of her beer, "Maybe we could get together one night, but not tonight, I'm kind of busy."
Dean gave a cheeky grin, "Definitely," Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sam roll his eyes. Lia looked back at Dean and grinned back, and then she stood up.
"Alright well it's been a long night," she gave a fake yawn, "sorry to cut this short, but I'm gonna hit the sack."
"And I can't come with you?" Dean gave a fake pouting face, this made Lia laugh, "Sorry, but I'm only planning to sleep."
Dean stood up and tilted her head a bit, he kissed her cheek and his eyes trailed down to her neck, then he looked back into her eyes, "See ya later then."
Lia nodded and headed back to her hotel room, and then when she walked inside she grabbed a gun and filled it with silver bullets.
"Sam there's no point in researching; I know who the werewolf is." Dean told his younger brother. Sam looked up at him.
"Who is it?" Sam asked.
"Lia, she's got a bite on her neck, I saw it just now, dammit!" He cursed, "Why does it have to be the hot girl? Worst part is she probably knew she was a werewolf too, remember the whole 'not tonight, I'm kind of busy.' Ha! Busy my ass." Dean said, a bit furious.
"Hey well at least you didn't go with her to the hotel room, else she'd probably wolf out on you." Sam said, remembering Madison.
Lia walked outside, she walked around the corner, she saw one of the exits to the bar, and all there was around her was a street lamp that was flickering, a dumpster, and a forest, then all of a sudden she was pinned to the wall, and she was looking into the eyes of an angry Dean, who was holding a gun to her head.
"Huh hunters, I should have known. You two are way too cute to be normal guys." Lia smiled.
"Shut your mouth bitch." Dean said with coldness in his eyes.
"Aw so this means our night is off? What did I do?" Lia asked, and then it hit her, "Whoa! Hey! I'm not a werewolf."
"How can you be so sure? You've got a bite on your neck." Sam said.
Lia laughed, "That was from a vampire, I was hunting a nest, there must have been about 5-10 vampires in there and while I killed all of 'em, but one of them sneaked up behind me and bit me on the neck, it probably wouldn't have happened if I had an extra hunter or two with me."
"Wait so- you took on a whole nest by yourself... holy crap." Sam said impressed.
"Don't listen to her Sammy, she's lying." Dean told his brother.
Lia sighed, "Look, a full moon right now, and if you let me go, then let me take a silver knife from my pocket."
Dean looked up and saw that Lia was right, the full moon was fully exposing her, then he let go, Lia took a knife from her pocket and cut a small bit of her skin on her wrist, she let out a deep breath, then she looked up at them. Sam let out a sigh of relief.
"See? I'm no werewolf, but the real suckers out there so we gotta find it and gank it." Lia told them.
The boys nodded then they heard a low growl come from the trees, they looked at the forest, then Lia dashed into the forest, she heard the creature move further and further away, she ran faster, she could hear the boys a ways behind her. Then Lia was in some strange clearing, she looked around but she couldn't see anything, she stood in the moonlight. Then she heard a snarl, in a flash Lia pointed her gun in the direction she heard the snarl, and she shot it.
A low whimper came, then a loud thump, Dean and Sam came out from the trees and they stared at Lia in awe.
"Wow, you've got quite a shot." Dean said impressed.
"Thanks." Lia said, then she walked over to where the werewolf was, the brothers followed her, Lia saw a gold chain on the werewolf, she instantly recognized who the werewolf really was."
"Oh Bill," Lia sighed, "What have you gotten yourself into now?"
Lia stood in the lobby, watching the police talk to the manager of the hotel; she looked away and saw Dean and Sam looking at her.
"Hey you okay? You two seemed like really close." Sam asked sympathetically.
Lia shrugged, "I barely knew him, but he was a good man, it's a shame, but it had to be done."
Sam gave a nod. Lia sighed and put her hands in her jeans pockets, "Guess I'm still on my own... here's my number, but I'll probably be dead the next time you call."
Lia handed them a slip of paper, well it was stuffed in her cleavage, she was used to it that way, and Dean took it of course.
"You probably won't be dead, your one of the best hunters I've ever seen." Dean admitted.
Lia shrugged, "Yeah but I wouldn't have gotten bit." She tilted her head to show the vampire bite.
"Ha you probably get bitten a lot of times from guys." Dean grinned.
Lia laughed, "Yeah, but still. I'd rather hunt with another person or two... would you guys mind if I stuck with you two for a while?"
Sam and Dean looked at each other; they looked like they were saying something using their minds. Then Dean looked at her with a grin on his face.
"Definitely," He said with a cheeky grin.
Lia smiled, great, she got to hang out with two guys and hunt beasties and ghoulies of all sorts, and this would be fun.
"Alright, I'm gonna go pack. Meet you two back down here." Lia told them, and then she rushed to her hotel room and started packing everything into her purple duffle bag: Make-up, clothing, her weapons, and all the typical girlie stuff. Then she walked back downstairs, and saw the brothers. Then she walked up to them.
"By the way, I never got your surname." Dean said.
"Mysterie. What about you mystery men?" Lia grinned.
"Winchester."
Lia and the Winchester brothers walked outside, towards a car, and not just any car.
"Holy crap!" She exclaimed "A '67 Chevy Impala."
Dean looked at her, surprised, but a smile shone on his face, "Yep. You know your way around cars?"
"Definitely, my foster dad was a mechanic, and we would work on cars for fun, and then send 'em off to people who needed 'em." Lia said as she stared at the Impala in awe, "I fixed one of these before, ha I wanted to keep it, but my foster dad only let me drive it around."
Sam tilted his head, "You were adopted?"
"Yeah, well when I was 16 my dad killed my mum and then Bob took me in as his own, ha and they call it 'sweet 16' she rolled her eyes." Lia explained.
Dean and Sam exchanged glances, and then Dean looked at her, "Wanna take shotgun?"
Lia grinned, "You bet."
Dean walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for her, then Lia got into the Impala, as she sank into the seat she felt instantly relaxed, then Dean came around to the driver's side and he got in, Sam climbed in the back. Then Dean put the keys in the engine, and then AC/DC blasted Lia's favourite AC/DC song as well: Back in black.
Lia started to sing along with the song, she couldn't help but smile in between the lines. Dean looked over at her, surprised, and an approving look. Then he started to sing as well, and he turned the volume up, then Sam groaned and rested his head against the window.
"This is going to be a very long ride." Sam groaned.
