Chapter One: Chloe Summer

Chloe Summer was lying next to her partner of six years, Stephen McMahon. Chloe was a Nurse at the local Nursing Home and Stephen was a computer expert at a local computer firm. Both were upstairs asleep in Chloe's room after working such long hours. Chloe still lived with her mom and dad, and two sisters; Christa who was twenty four and Caroline who was twenty two. Chloe was twenty six and had been working as a Nurse for the last six years. Stephen and Chloe dreamt of owning their own home, and had been saving for a deposit while they still lived with Chloe's family. They helped pay for food and other costs like electricity. Stephen's dad had died when he was five and his mother had passed away from cancer two years ago. He didn't have any sibling like Chloe did.

It was late at night, almost midnight and the house was silent with everyone asleep. Chloe had her bedroom window open to allow a cool breeze in for the weather recently had been very hot. Stephen stirred a little when he thought he heard a noise in the room, he thought it may have been Salem, Chloe's black Norwegian Forest cat. Salem loved to creep into their room late at night and sleep at the end of their bed to sleep with them, Stephen had woken a few times to find the cat almost sleeping on his head, purring away contently and cuddling up to him.

Stephen was surprised not to see Salem, but was astonished to find someone in their room and it wasn't one of Chloe's sisters or her parents. Fear tripped down his spine when the intruder lifted up their arms to reveal a sharp knife in their hands. Stephen automatically pushed Chloe aside and held up his own hands in self defence. Once he saw that Chloe was awake after falling onto the floor, he fought with the intruder.

"Run, Chloe! Get help!" Stephen yelled.

Chloe had woken to find herself on the floor with a stranger standing over their bed with a knife in their hands, attacking her partner. She screamed when she saw the man plunge the knife into Stephen's heart. She got up from off the floor and ran out of the room. She went into each of her sister's rooms and to her horror, she found Maggie and Sarah had been stabbed to death while they slept. Still in shock and fear, she headed to her parents room, Cara and Calan where she stopped in their doorway, only to find them like she had found her sister. She let out a wail of grief and despair.

When she heard the footsteps of the killer not far behind her, she sprinted to the bathroom where she closed the door behind her and hid in the bottom of the shower. Chloe heard the door open and someone walk inside. She heard footsteps head towards the shower where she was hiding and they flung open the shower curtain. Chloe screamed and threw her hands up when she saw the killer raise the knife in their hands to attack her. The killer froze just as she heard a gun shoot and she screamed again when the man disappeared. Her arms were now wrapped around her legs, she was shivering and crying when a short man with dark hair and bright eyes looked down at her and she could see concern in them with no hint of fear.

"Are you here to kill me?" Chloe whispered, looking up at the new stranger with the gun now resting by his side. Tear flowed freely down her face.

"No," he replied. "We were trying to save you and your family. I'm sorry we didn't save the rest of your family." His voice was soft and kind of gruff.

Another man entered the room, he was tall with short dark hair and pale green eyes. The new man lowered his gun too when he saw Chloe.

"Dean what are we going to do with?" The tall man asked the shorter man, indicating Chloe with his head.

"My name is Chloe Summer and who the hell are you? Not that I'm ungrateful for you saving my life, which I am, thank you. It would be more helpful to me too know who you are?" Chloe demanded.

The two strangers exchanged glances.

"We are," Dean began.

"Sam and Dean Winchester," Sam introduced. "Dean is my older brother and we are… hunting…."

"Hunting? You're hunters?" Chloe queried puzzled.

"Yeah, you could call us hunters. We hunt the supernatural kind of stuff," Dean tried to explain. He was too busy staring at Chloe.

"We aren't your normal hunters," Sam said with a hint of sadness.

"How did you make him freeze?" Dean inquired.

"Freeze?" Sam queried confused, he glanced at Dean and then at Chloe.

"The guy was frozen when I walked in. He looked like a statue with a knife in his hands, about to do her in, before I shot him," Dean informed his younger brother.

"Dean!" Sam chided, looking at his brother. "You froze him?" Sam questioned, now glancing at Chloe with surprise written across his face.

"It's a… Gift as my Gran called it," Chloe replied, eyeing the two brothers. The tall one was cute, but she was curious about the one called Dean. Neither had freaked out at the mention of her Gift, just one of a few she possessed.

"Maybe we should get Chloe out of the bathroom before we ask her anymore questions," Sam suggested with a friendly smile, helping Chloe out of the shower.

"What about my family?" Chloe queried, sniffling as she accepted Sam's help, he took his jacket off and wrapped it around her shoulders. His arm dropped to her waist as he guided her out of the bathroom and down the stairs to the living room.

"We could tip off the police or stay here?" Dean offered, following them down the stairs.

"Stay here and I can tell them that you're family friends who came to help when I called you," Chloe suggested, wiping her nose with the back of her hand.

"Okay," both brothers agreed.

Sam directed Chloe to the couch and Dean found the house phone. Dean handed the phone to Chloe, who dialled the local police department and waited for them to arrive.

"Anybody want anything to drink?" Dean asked, he hated to wait around.

"There's beer in the fridge and I guess a hot chocolate for me," Chloe said absently, getting out her tissue and blowing her nose. Sam now sat next to her on the couch. They sat there waiting for the police to arrive while Dean kept himself busy in the kitchen.
