Chapter one

Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Sam couldn't believe it he had been working at this bar for about a month now and Dean hadn't called once even to check on him, he missed him and knowing his brother he was being missed as well. But as usual things had been said and Dean was stubborn and Sam knew he had let his brother down big time, so he determined just to stay clean away from demons and get his shit together. He had to prove to Dean and himself that he was ok that he wasn't going to fuck up again.

As he wiped down the bar he thought about what he would say to Dean on his next message, when the door opened Sam briefly glanced up then took another look, this girl was a stunner but not just that, he could see something was wrong. She looked around in a daze her golden brown hair was askew and she had a cut on her hand that she was holding. As she headed to one of the booths Sam walked over to her.

"Can I help you there ma'am?" he asked with concern in his voice.

She looked up at him "I … I'm not sure where is this?" her voice was soft and warm.

Sam's brow wrinkled "Oklahoma." He replied

"Oh right… I seem to be bleeding," she said vaguely looking at her hand.

"Let me get something to clean that for you." Sam went behind the counter and got the first aid kit he sat with the girl and started cleaning and dressing her injury.

"This is nasty but I don't think you need stitches do you want to go to hospital to be sure?" he asked.

"No!" she replied vehemently. "People die in hospitals no thanks."

"Ok" Sam smiled to try to reassure her she looked almost ready to bolt and he wasn't ready to let her go just yet he had spent too many years helping people not to know when someone was in serious trouble.

"Look what's your name?" he asked

The girl looked troubled her pretty nose crinkled at him eyes misting, "I I don't know… I can't remember, I just woke up a while ago about a mile down the road with the mother of all headaches and a bleeding hand, what is going on?" She pleaded looking hard at Sam.

"Look maybe you should go to hospital you might need your head looked at."

The girl began to shake "No way I can't please," she grabbed his hand and squeezed.

"Ok ok then just let me check your head." Sam looked at her she definitely was starting to freak out he stood up and felt her head she winced as he found a bump at the back.

"Ow got any aspirin at all?" She asked.

"Sure I'll get you some water take these." He passed over two tabs and got her a drink he slipped a little holy water from his flask just to make sure. He studied her as he came back there was something about this girl she was lean, but he could see she was definitely a woman and there had been some real strength in her when she took his hand.

As she drank the aspirin down Sam watched her carefully, nothing untoward happened so no demon or the myriad of other Things affected by holy water, as she drank he also could not help noticing her full lips. He asked her if she had anything in her pockets, she felt around and pulled out an id badge it had her photo and a name and that was all no other clues.

"Eden Johannsen," she read out.

"Eden does that sound familiar at all?"

"I am not sure but the photo is me, I just don't know." She replied with a catch in her voice.

"Look why don't we call the police get them to check missing persons.."

"No!" she was looking panicky again. "No cops I don't want to talk to them."

Sam raised his hands in a placating gesture wondering what was with this girl she was so panicky over authority he was really starting to wonder what her deal was.

"I think I would like to lie down and rest for a while is there anywhere I can do that." She looked at Sam with pleading eyes, very pretty pleading eyes Sam noted long lashes and those full slightly pouty lips.

"Look I'm off in about 2 hours you can use my room if you like room 7b here is the key, oh I am Keith by the way." I must be nuts he thought to himself I don't even know this girl she could be anyone, but his instincts were telling him she was what she appeared to be a person in deep trouble.

"Oh thanks Keith I really appreciate this." She headed towards the door holding her injured hand gingerly as Sam headed back to work.

After his shift Sam arrived at his room half dreading what he might find, but when he opened the door everything was as he left it except for the beautiful young woman lying in his bed. She moaned softly in her sleep and as she turned he heard her say something he leaned in and caught his name on her lips. She smiled then and he sat back looking startled who was this girl and why did he feel so protective of her, he wanted to stroke her face and move the hair out of her eyes but he just sat and watched her sleep.

The next morning Eden opened her eyes and saw Sam sitting asleep in the chair by the bed long legs splayed halfway across the room, he was huge! But his face was so peaceful, gentle she fought the urge to touch him and tiptoed across the room to the bathroom. When she came back Sam was stretching he looked over and grinned at her.

"How are you feeling?" he asked sleepily.

"Yeah better thanks my hand still hurts like a sonofabitch and I think some more aspirin is in order but other than that, oh and not having a clue who I am pretty good." She glanced at him as she rubbed at her head tenderly.

"Ok let's do some checking of our own." Sam set up his laptop and began to check missing persons for an Eden Johannsen.

After an hour he sat back and shook his head "I'm not getting anything here no girls matching your description no missing Eden's at all."

"Oh well maybe nobody has noticed I'm gone yet." she replied.

"Ok then let's get some breakfast and try again later." He passed his hand over his eyes tiredly.

"Oh boy I thought you would never ask I am starving." She practically ran from the room towards the diner next door.
