PRESENT DAY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

Kat sat up in the California King sized bed, the covers only halfway covering her, her head pounding like a drum from the night before. "God, did I swallow the whole bar?" she muttered to herself as she stood, wiggled a pale pink tanktop down over her head, and then tugged on a pair of gray and pale pink velour lounge pants. She had a huge audition today, this one was for a dance company and if she got it, she'd be headed for Europe.

For some reason, she sat staring at the picture on her refridgerator in the small apartment. It was of her old life. Her happy life.. She wondered if her uncle Bobby would be proud of her, because she'd gotten as far away from the tragedy that'd fallen on her at 16, and started fresh, like she'd promised she would.

She also worried about him. While not a psychic, she did have a strong connection to her family and right now, something just felt wrong.. As she sipped her black coffee and read over the newspaper, a review from the last musical she'd been in, she bit her lower lip.

She must have zoned out, because her cell phone was ringing, and it had been for about ten minutes now, apparently. She looked at the caller id, and for some reason, her stomach began to churn, her throat constricted. Finally, she forced herself to pick it up..

She gasped as the male on the other line told her he was gone.. Her uncle Bobby had been shot a day or so earlier, and the bullet was in his brain, and last night, he'd died.

She hung up the phone and sat at the table in numbness. Now it was official.. Kat was alone in life. She had noone left. Her parents and aunt died when she was 16 and her uncle died last night.

She hung her head, and she began to cry quietly. And then the lights in her apartment shattered, leaving her in darkness for a while.

A light breeze blew past her and she could have sworn that she heard her uncle telling her she needed to find Sam and Dean Winchester. That she was in danger, possibly and she'd be safer there.

She felt around for her Iphone, and called back the number that'd just called her, letting it ring.

HAMMONTON NEW JERSEY

Sam looked at the ringing phone in his hand, as he handed it to Dean, shaking his head. "I can't.. I mean she sounded so upset a few minutes ago.." Sam muttered as Dean took the phone, glared at Sam and then took a deep breath as he said quietly, "Hello?"

The static and the screaming over the phone line cut them off and suddenly, as plain as day, he heard Jo and Ellen screaming "Help us. We're in a warehouse full of some kind of monsters." Then as quickly as it'd happened, the static and their voices were gone, and the girl from before was crying a little as she tried to hide it.

"Look, we're in Hammonton. How soon can you be here? Something's not right, I've got a bad feeling." Dean said as the girl told him she was leaving her place right then and she'd be there in a day or so, maybe three. He turned to Sam and then said quietly, "Somehow, I swear to God, Sam... I just heard Jo and Ellen screaming before I ever was able to hear Bobby's niece on the line."

Sam shrugged and raked his hand through his hair, as he stared at his feet. He wanted to cry, but he just couldn't. He was just barely holding it together right now, and Dean needed him. It was his turn to try and be strong.

He looked at Dean and asked quietly, "So what'd Bobby's niece want?"

"She's coming to us.. Said we wouldn't believe her if she told me over the phone.. I think she knows Bobby was a hunter, and I think something had the kid spooked."

"She's not a kid, Dean.. She sounded like she was my age." Sam said quietly, as he flipped through Bobby's wallet, to find a picture of a girl with wild curly blonde hair, standing beside a 1968 mustang convertible that was pale pink. He happed to flip the picture over and read the caption.. "Wish Sam coulda met her."

Sam laughed to himself as he put the picture back into his pocket along with Bobby's wallet, which the nurse had handed them.

The brothers sat silently as the clock on the wall ticked by slowly. Nothing felt right anymore. Nothing made sense. Bobby was gone, and now all this weird stuff with Jo and Ellen over the phone, the Leviathans that they still could not kill closing in on them.

The brothers were on the verge of throwing in the towel. Little did they realize just how much was about to change.

AUTHORS NOTE:

This is totally alternate universe ssn 7. It happens post Sam's meltdown, because Kat is Sam's pairing. Lots of changes, not on a big scope, but some pretty big ones, all the same.

You might have noticed, I chose to make Kat Bobby's niece. This is done because I didn't want to rearrange all the prementioned events on the show from seasons 1 - 6 to make him her father.. But, he is her uncle.. In this fic, Karen had a sister named Jean. So Kat is Karen and Bobby's niece. It's just all around simpler.

Dean and Jo will be reunited, because I love Jo.. And who knows.. I might find some way to bring Bobby back from the dead, and have him paired with Ellen. Sorry in advance for the flashback, and the bittersweetness of it, it was needed to flesh out Kat's past. Bear with me, I'm trying to write a fanfic for Supernatural, but this is my first ever attempt at one.

I had to give Sam something good in his life, cause I am a die hard Samgirl. Read and Review if you liked this, please? No flames, though. Like I said. First attempt at writing anything for Supernatural and though I've been a fan since the beginning, some things might be a little fuzzy.
