A/N: Have I already told you that Sam and Dean Winchester are not my creations and I'm not earning any profit from them?
Reviews are important, they motivate and enhance us. It takes only a moment, c'mon, it´s easy ...

Sam hid his face behind the laptop, as he spoke. Dean pretended he did not care, ostensibly chewing his sandwich to allow time for his brother:
_Well, I talked with some people online who knew Jess and Samantha practically their entire life. About Samantha, it seems that she is intending to abandon her artistic career. She´s consulting with a psychologist, they say that she's a bit depressed since her last boyfriend ran off from her. It seems that despite her fame and success, she does not have much luck with her love life. _ Sam took a deep breath and was silent for a few minutes before he continued talking._ But for Jess ... Many of the things they told me were about the Jess I knew ... Sweet, affectionate, funny ... Her plans were to finish college and they say .... She thought she would marry me....
Dean extended an arm to touch the shoulder of his brother, trying to show that he cared about his loss. And it was true.
_But they also spoke something about Jess ... When she was a teenager, she had to go through a psychiatric treatment. Jessica never told me about it. Her friends remember her ... She simply believed that fairy tales were real and tried to convince her friends so. But the treatment had effect, by the way.
-Er ... Is that all? _Dean was embarrassed by not being able to express his usual humor about Jess. But he was eager to show what he had found.
_ I think so. The important things, I mean.
_ I found a few things, Sam. The first is that Jess, while we were out, was not with her relatives. Or at least, was not with them all the time. She made a trip to the city where she grew up as a note of the gas station proves. And I also found... Two other things in her car. _Dean took from his backpack a small package, which gave to his younger brother. Sam opened it carefully. Surprisingly, there was a brand-new sewing kit. And a piece of white cloth, where a bloodstain surmounted Sam´s name; neatly written with a tacking point, with blue line.
Sam stared, turning that tissue, like working on a puzzle.
_ I think Jess was not starting to embroider her trousseau. _ he spoke, worried.
....
After making a tour in the beautiful seaside town for nothing but to unwind, the brothers decided to ask some questions to the person who had known Jess more. And Sam had to admit that he was not this person. Dean was a little relieved to know that Samantha would meet him in a photographic set; she would talk to them just as soon as the photoshoot ended. And Dean was thinking that maybe they needed someone with the hands of the right size to apply that greasy thing that would make her skin glossy. All over her. Who knows.
Once there, and being accepted by someone from the photographer staff, they were sent to the studio where Samantha was sitting with very high-heeled, white leather boots with transparent pumps, a silver thong and holding two tiny puppies in each hand, the sort of race that Sam used to hate with all his strength. Sam looked away to the cell phone that took from his pocket, Dean nudged his brother, not resisting commenting:
_ And then, are family heirlooms or is it true that older siblings are always more well endowed?
_ Stop it, Dean! I do not feel comfortable looking at… My girlfriend´s sister´s… you know!
_ You are already looking at! _ Dean laughed with gusto, shaking his head. _Dude, I could almost cry for staring them for longer".
Sam just shook his head. In a small rest to adjust the lights and Samantha have the makeup retouched, suddenly a big fan of the scene that was just backward Samantha apparently turned on by itself. Samantha cried, part of her hair was torn by the blades. People around turned away in horror, as opposed to Winchester brothers, who jumped in her direction, to take her from that danger. Dean grabbed the blonde girl and rolled with her on the floor, while Sam took care of turning the fan off _ and it was not easy at all.
_Samantha, are you okay? Your hair, oh my God? You need help ...
_Oh my God, my God! What a shock! I thought I would die! It was only my fake hair! Oh thank God!
Sam also crouched beside the two, scowled at his brother. Dean realized the gaffe, raised his hands to the top of the head; looking guilty.
Now people are trying to figure out how it happened, all swore that the fan had not been turned on, and Samantha was still recovering from fright and sought comfort when Sam pulled his brother aside, whispering:
_ I saw, Dean. The wire simply unfolded and embedded itself in the energy!
_ We have to prevent ... something from happening to her. _Dean usually would say that they had to stop the thing to get her, but in this case, it might be Jessica. They were not sure of anything, and he did not want to name anything yet.
....
Contrary to what they found, Samantha was not elusive at telling about her sister's teenage life. She was actually too scared to be alone and as soon as she knew that the Winchesters were staying in a hotel, invited them to stay in her home. This certainly made their mission to protect her easier, because Samantha specifically begged to not be left alone. She was sure there was a ghost chasing her, and it was the ghost of her beloved sister Jessica. The fact that Sam, the very dead girl's boyfriend, showed he did not think she was crazy made her calm down and feel confident in answering their questions.
She said Jessica was always very sweet, and really had a problem as a teenager. Even for Samantha she had tried to convince them that things that happen in fairy tales were real. At first everyone thought cute, until Jessica was too old for these things. Until her own friends began to feel strange about her behavior.
_Do you remember when this happened for the first time?
Samantha frowned a bit:
_I guess that was at the time of my... first beauty contest. Well, it was a failure, actually: I was in third place. At the time it was, you know, the world collapsing in the life of a teenager like me. I was devastated, people tried to comfort me with no use ... But Jess came to hug me and said that everything would be fine, that my wish would come true and those things that she spoke. It did me good, and soon after, a hunter found me and my career happened. And I think that Jessica did stay believing that it had been her somehow.
The brothers looked at each other without saying anything. And this urged Samantha to continue:
-You will not believe it, but my life has been anything but easy. I'm afraid of everything lately – it's not the first time that accidents like this happen. Two days ago I nearly fell down the stairs in my house tripping over the vacuum wire that should not even be there. Again the hairdryer was about to fall in the bathtub, if the housekeeper hadn't prevented it from happening...! I know it's something ... That is something supernatural going on, do you understand me?
_ Everything started as soon as Jessica died? _ Sam asked calmly.
_Well ... Now that you ask, I think not. I think it started about ten days before, shortly after I had a conversation with my psychologist...
_ Something you can tell us?
_ Truth is, it's no longer a secret. I want to stop with my modeling career. I do not think it has been truly ... Healthy for me.
Sam glanced at his brother, hoping he would make some kind of sarcastic or funny comment, but he was smiling sympathetically to Samantha.
_ Listen Samantha, Sam here and I will help you. Just trust us, okay? We will be looking to prevent accidents such as those from occurring again, and we will try to find out what is happening and what to do.
She smiled, tired, before getting up and embracing the two, lovingly:
_ You speak with such conviction that I cannot help but believe that it's true! Thank you Sam, thank you Dean. Just the fact you don't think I'm crazy makes me feel good...
.....
Dean checked the house ensuring that all appliances were well locked in a place where only he had the key, and Samantha went to bed keeping lights on and door open if something unforeseen happened. The brothers stayed in the room right in front, and also kept the door open in order to watch the events of the night.
When at last the older Winchester entered the room, Sam was on the laptop, and called:
_Dean, I think I know what we have here. And if I'm right, Jessica is only trying to prevent her sister from dying.
-And what did you find?
