AN: Just a warning ahead of time. A lot of my chapters will be formatted as journal entries. Those'll be really short. I'll also update when I can, but I make no promises.

My eyes opened.
That was my first clue that something was off. I hadn't been in control of my eyes for weeks. The second indicator that something was off was the fact that there was a person carrying me. From their biceps I decided that it was a guy. A very toned guy. Damn.
"You're awake!" a vaguely familiar voice exclaimed happily. I winced. He was right next to my ear. Owwww…
The man carrying me quickly set me down on a dirty grey couch. He took a seat in the armchair before turning to me. I took the moment to assess the room.
Bag full of guns on the bed, salt containers, devil's trap. Definitely a hunter, then. Better than the alternative, I guess. He could have been some weird psycho or something. That'd be annoying.
"How're you feeling?" the man asked me. I blinked a few times in his direction.
"Who hit me with that bus?" I asked, clutching my forehead. The man's eyebrows scrunched cutely on his forehead.
"Ruby?" He asked cautiously. I looked blankly at him. Did I look like a Ruby? Don't answer that.
"No, name's Elizabeth. Who're you?"
"Sam." he replied in a pained voice.
"An' who's Ruby?" He winced slightly.
"Ah, she's the … demon who was possessing you …" he trailed off at the end and I could barely hear him.
"Wait, I was possessed?!" I asked outraged. He nodded slightly.
"Yeah. A demon named Ruby."
"And you were working with her?!"
"I didn't have much of a choice, now did I?!" he defended quickly, an angry scowl on his face. "She was helping me find and kill Lilith." So, slightly crazed hunter with a demon as a former ally. Wonderful.
"You're a hunter, why did you let her possess me?! I was on a hunt!" I inquired angrily.
"She said you were in a coma. That they were gonna pull the plug when she came." Sam replied defensively, and a little morosely.
"Oh…" I realized quite suddenly why I'd had no control of my body. That ghost I was hunting. Damn, I feel stupid.
"You mean you actually were in a coma?" Sam asked incredulously. I nodded.
"Yup, locked outta my brain by a cyber-ghostie. It hacked into my 'systems' and shut me down to the point of a coma. Apparently that read as being brain dead. Lovely hospital system we have isn't it?" I closed my eyes in frustration. Sam on the other hand seemed relieved that his demon girlfriend or whatever, wasn't lying to him.
"Do you remember anything from when you were possessed?" Sam asked hesitantly.
I shook my head. "Was there something in particular you were trying to find?"
"Just info." He replied sadly.
"Well, Sam." I said after a moment. "Your demon friend possessed me. The least you could do is offer a girl a lift to Chicago. Whaddya say?"
