Chapter 2: Only Women Bleed

Scene: Inside Jo's head

Jo is asleep in her swanky new hotel suite she dreams of Dorian and of Dean.

Dean is kissing Jo passionately in her dream and Jo smiles against his soft warm lips before suddenly feeling him being ripped away from her.

Jo groans in pain not having Dean kissing her feels terrible. She wants him back and fears for his life as she opens her eyes to see the culprit that has forced him away from her.

Jo: "No, please don't hurt him!"

Dorian has grabbed Dean by the throat. Dorian is strangling him. His fangs are out and his eyes are wild red with intense anger.

Dorian: "He doesn't love you! But, I do!"

Dean struggles and finally gets free from Dorian's wicked painful grip. Dean gasps for air and now is just as angry as the vampire.

Dean: "Love? What do you know about it vampire?"

Dean tries to punch Dorian, but the vampire is very strong and fast he dodges Dean's punches and once again gets a firm hand around Dean's neck choking off his air supply.

Jo: "Please stop it both of you!"

Dorian sighs angrily, but finally relents and lets Dean's neck go only to show Jo his desire for her is real.

Dean coughs and touches his neck feeling the soreness there already wishing Sam was around to help him..

Dean doesn't hesitate one bit he takes out his knife and charges into the vampire ready to kill Dorian.

Dorian falls to the ground hard with Dean on top of him. Dean furiously tries to stab Dorian, but he wrestles Dean's hands away from his neck trying to prevent from being stabbed.

Dean: "Jo help me kill him!"

Jo hesitates she knows as a hunter she should help Dean and a part of her wants to help him. However, she doesn't want Dorian to die so she stays glued to one spot unable to move or fight. She just watches them in horror duke it out over her.

Dean can't understand why Jo isn't moving to help, he wonders if she's hurt. Dean looks up at her.

Dean: "Jo!? What the hell is the matter with you?""

Dorian takes this opportunity to punch Dean in the stomach knocking him to the side.

Dean groans in pain. Dorian pushes and kicks Dean until Dean cuts Dorian's shoulder with his knife.

Dorian's vampire blood flows out and he moans out in pain from the deep cut.

Jo doesn't move, but she can't help staring at Dorian's blood she feels her heart racing as she watches it flow from him.

Dean scrabbles to his feet again and so does Dorian both ready to kill the other they face off against each other waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Dorian: "She wants me now and you just can't stand that hunter! She wants a taste of me, of my blood. My beloved wants to know what its like to feel my power within her filling her like never before like you never can hunter!"

Dean stares at Dorian in absolute disgust.

Dean: "Oh will you shut up Twilight!"

Dean: "Jo please tell this freak the truth! Tell him you love when I kiss you, tell him you want me not some disgusting dead thing that belongs rotting in a coffin underground."

Jo looks at Dean very afraid she doesn't know what to say, she looks at Dorian and though she tells herself she doesn't want to drink his blood she can't help wanting to patch him up as she watches it trickle down his arm. She fears from them both and for her own safety too.

Dorian smiles at her happy she hasn't replied to Dean's request.

Dorian: "I'll show you just what you really want Johanna."

Dorian quickly grabs Jo and before she can protest he plants a kiss on her mouth so cool and bloody she feels her entire body shiver as he holds her and her heart races quickly the sound of it loud in her ears. She can feel her blood pumping through her veins it's both thrilling and unnerving as a few drops of blood from Dorian's lips trickle on to her longing tongue. Dorian fights the urge within to bite her completely though his fangs slightly graze the inside of her mouth which excites him immediately giving him a total hard on.

Dorian pulls his lips and fangs away for a moment to look at Jo in her beautiful eyes, but he keep his pelvis pressed into hers letting her feel his bulging erection against her inner thigh.

Jo begins to stutter she's too shocked and breathless to speak clearly or too pull away just yet.

Jo: "I. I. uh"

Dorian smirks then turns towards Dean ready to boast that she is now his.

Dorian: "She's speechless now. She's tasted me and you know what that means.

Dean: "It means I'm going to kill you, you son of a bitch!"

Dean runs at them both holding the knife he means to plunge it into Dorian's neck and rip his bloody head off.

Jo pushes Dorian away quickly and Dean slices her neck open instead by accident.

Jo feels the blood flowing from her throat. Blood slowly spurts out of her mouth and neck. She begins to gurgle blood and whispers her final words.

Jo: "I'm so sorry Dean."

Dorian and Dean stare both in shock and horror at her.

Dean: "Jo! No!"

Dorian: "Johanna!!"

Jo feels her body go limp as she looks at her own blood covering her hand.

Jo falls to the ground dead in her dreams, the last thing she sees is their two handsome faces staring back at her then she feels fangs sprout from her gums as her eyes reopen totally red like a vampire.

Scene: The Harvelle's Hotel Suite in Beverly Hills.

Jo wakes up sweating profusely in her bed. She touches her mouth and is relieved to realize it was just a dream and she's still totally human.

Jo sits up and turns to look over at her mother who is still asleep in her bed peacefully.

Jo thinks to herself, what the hell was that? That was the craziest dream I've ever had; it felt so real I don't understand why I wanted them both like that. Dorian is a vampire; he's disgusting and dead I don't want to be like that. I don't want his blood in me not ever! I must be careful of these vampires. It felt so real!

Jo looks down at her bed she can feel some wetness on her sheet between her legs and knows it comes from her. She can also feel her nipples are hard pressing stiffly against her black tank top.

I don't want a vampire I can't! It's just a dream just a stupid nightmare. But, the evidence is clear I can't deny it though I want too so badly, the truth is he makes me wet and he makes me shiver in my sleep. Dorian makes me think about what it would be like to be seduced by a vampire. When we danced together I felt him then too though I don't know why, but I know it's not real! It can't be! It's not like when I'm with Dean.

Dean is real, Dean is alive well I hope he still is. Oh God I wish I could call him just so I can here his voice and make sure he's okay. His kiss was so different from Dorian's in my dream. Dean's kiss felt so much warmer and sweeter it really tasted great not like blood, not like the scary power I felt with Dorian. With Dean it was soft yet seductive his kiss told me he wanted me and I wanted him so badly too. I've dreamed of kissing Dean before, but not like this! It hurt more when his lips left mine then when he stabbed me. I was so scared for him I don't know why when I'm the one who got hurt. I'm the one who ends up dead.

But, with Dorian it's so different so deadly and dangerous. His fangs didn't hurt at all like I thought they would and though he scares me he excites me even more. Oh what's wrong with me? I shouldn't be thinking about them like this! I shouldn't be dreaming about this stuff. Dean isn't in love with me neither is Dorian. They both have their own lives and I have a job to do here that's all there is to it. I can't get caught up in such nonsense get it together girl!

I have to keep my head in the game keep focused on the hunt. Mom will rip me a new one if I screw this up. Marques is dangerous I can't make any mistakes not this time. Dorian wants us to come to his place well I'll be fine as long as mom is there. Dmitri knows more about Dorian than I do. They won't let him or anything else get to me. That blood I drank maybe it has something to do with why I had this dream.

Oh God that stuff was so gross I wanted to vomit! How could I be so stupid to drink that mess what if it was a trick what if it had been vampire blood? What is the matter with me even though I am pretty sure it was human blood it's still so gross! I shouldn't have done it. It's weird how that blood makes me feel. I feel different inside somehow I feel sexier like I want to rip my clothes off and touch myself right now thinking of Dorian's hands on me, thinking of Dean's lips on mine. Well the hell with that! I just have to keep my head in the game thinking about either of them is a bad idea, a very bad idea.

Jo gets out of bed and goes into the bathroom. She splashes some cold water on her face and softly hums to herself which always helps calm her down when she feels nervous.

Jo leaves the bathroom and is about to return to bed when she hears her phone vibrating in her jeans over on the chair. She quickly goes over and grabs the phone hoping its Dean.

Jo: "This is Jo. Who is it?"

Dorian: "May I speak to Johanna?"

Jo feels her body shiver all over again at the sound of Dorian's deep voice filling her ear.

Jo moves the phone to the other ear and reenters the bathroom quickly so her mother won't hear their conversation; she shuts and locks the door. Jo begins to whisper.

Jo: "Dorian?"

Dorian laughs into the phone a deep guttural laugh.

Dorian: "Did I wake you sweetheart?"

Jo: "No, I'm awake. How did you get my number?"

Dorian laughs again at that remark.

Dorian: "Johanna haven't we been over this one? I'm a vampire if you haven't heard we're pretty sneaky and I am also a hunter so I know how to get a girl's number.

Jo can imagine the smug look on his face and wants to slap him already just thinking about it.

Jo: "Well what do you want vampire?"

Dorian: "I want you to come over to my place. Will you come?"

Jo: "I don't know about that I still have to talk to my mom about it and she's sleeping right now."

Dorian: "You have to talk to your mother oh I didn't know I was courting a teenager. Now I really feel dirty."

Jo again senses the smug smile that must be on his rugged face.

Jo: "Just stop it! You know very well I'm no teenager just because you're older than my grandpa's socks doesn't mean you can talk down to me vampire."

Dorian laughs not all offended by her insult knowing he is only teasing her.

Dorian: "I told you if it makes you feel safe go ahead and bring her, but I don't think she'll enjoy what I have to show you as much as you will."

Jo: "She won't! She doesn't enjoy spending time in vampires' crypts, but she'll do it if I ask her we're a team."

Dorian: "A team, well that is nice, can I be on your team Johanna?"

Now Jo's smiles smugly knowing she finally has her chance to tease him a bit.

Jo: "Well I don't know we're a pretty exclusive club to get into and I'm not sure you have what it takes you have to pay your dues to be on our team.

Dorian: "Okay what do I have to do?"

Jo is surprised by how sincere his question sounds.

Jo: "First, tell me the truth you put something in my drink didn't you? Some kind of drug perhaps? I'm feeling strange already and having a hard time sleeping."

Dorian sighs sadly into the phone.

Dorian: "Johanna I don't have to drug a girl just to get her to be with me. If I wanted one that bad I could just take her. I wouldn't need to drug anyone. I've been around quite a while, so I know my way around a woman's heart. I didn't put anything in your drink and neither did any one else. You're more than likely feeling a few common side effects from drinking human blood it takes getting use to if I do say so myself.

Jo: "Well I don't plan to ever get use to it, but tell me more about these side effects?"

Dorian: "The side effects are different for humans than for vampires, I've heard humans report they feel hot and then cold again, their senses become more alert like they can feel more than they should, others say they start having strange erotic dreams; dreams of murder or of lust. Dreams that make them sweat like they have a fever and want to rip their clothes off. Some humans get extremely horny drinking blood. I think it's a real turn on if you're into that sort of thing and well of course I'm into it, but humans sometimes can't handle it at all. They can become extremely addicted to the point they can't get enough blood it makes them feel powerful, dangerous like a vampire I assume, but they aren't really vampires so they are just as vulnerable to death as any mortal would be. But, those that become addicted often become hostile, irrational they may even move onto drinking other types of blood that of certain animals, creatures even demon blood. For those people yes blood is like a drug Johanna."

Jo doesn't like the sound of these blood side effects and immediately worries about how bad it will get for her.

Jo: "When do the effects wear off?"

Dorian: "It depends you only had a very little shot so by sunrise you should be feeling pretty normal again, but it may disrupt you're sleep a few more nights, blood is more potent at night and the blood you drank was from a holy man so the blood's pretty pure."

Jo: "If I tell you something you have to promise you want laugh at me."

Dorian immediately becomes curious and excited.

Dorian: "Oh please do, baby you can tell me anything."

Jo: "I've started having those strange dreams you talked about I had one tonight, but it didn't last long."

Dorian pauses for a moment to steady his voice not wanting to sound too eager to hear her dream though inside he feels extremely curious.

Dorian: "Okay, well lets figure this one out together tell me what happened?"

Jo feels immediately hesitant she doesn't want to reveal her dream to him and egg him on further so she decides to lie.

Jo: "I dreamed I killed Marques it was a pretty cool dream actually, but someone close to me got hurt a hunter you don't know him though. It sort of freaked me out."

Dorian pauses this time a bit longer then before, he sighs again this time a bit angry.

Dorian: "Johanna if you don't want to tell me about your stupid dream you don't have to, but please don't lie to me it makes me feel like a scumbag and since I've never lie to you I don't think its right!"

Jo: "I don't have to lie to you! You already know too much about me anyway, and I know very little about you. I don't like that."

Dorian: "If you want to know me then just come here and see me I'll tell you anything you want to know."

Jo: "Fine maybe I will!"

Jo hangs up on Dorian.

Jo feels that feverish side effect as her body gets really warm and then gets very cold, so cold she quickly gets back in bed and wraps herself up in the covers. It angers her that he can tell she's lying.

Jo thinks to herself: If he can tell, then Marques will likely be able to tell and that ain't good. Hunters are supposed to be good liars, good at concealing out true identity. If I'm going to pass myself off as a vampire I need for them all to believe everything I'm saying. How is it that vampire knows me so well damn he's so irritating! See now that's why I like Dean so much; he's utterly clueless about women. He's a typical guy he just shoots for the moon and hopes he gets it right, but Dorian knows exactly what he's doing. Now that is scary. I'm going to have to seriously up my game around him if I want to pull this off.

Jo tries to go back to sleep, but can't she just keeps thinking of what Dorian said and of how she is going to ask her mother about going over there knowing she won't like it.

Scene: Marques' mansion

A beautiful blonde half naked vampire comes down the hall she gets down on her knees on all fours and crawls into Marques' bedroom.

Marques is sleeping and doesn't notice her come in right away.

The vampire girl crawls over to his bed and stares at him. She lets her fangs out and her pretty blue eyes turn a deep navy. She stands up over him and prepares to sink her teeth into to his flesh, but before she can, Marques wakes up his eyes are totally black. He grabs her by the throat and squeezes hard.

Another vampire this one a tall, black male crashes through the doors from the balcony of Marques' bedroom. The male vampire attacks with all his might ready to bite the demon's head off.

Marques also grabs the male vampire by the throat with just one hand and squeezes. He is very strong and extremely angry. He sits up in bed and glares at them both.

Marques: "You think you can kill me, you vermin? It will take a lot more than that."

Marques is about to kill them both when a third vampire that's been hiding under his bed jumps out and doses him with holy water.

Marques lets them both go and groans from the sting of the water as smoke rises off his vessel.

The third vampire is another male and has blonde highlights. He yells at the other vampires.

Vampire: Run!

They hold their throats gasping in pain from almost having them ripped off, but the vampires manage to follow the their companion out of there onto the balcony where they all jump off and make a run for it.

Marques grabs the phone turns out the light and dials a number.

His bodyguards rushes through the doors of his room after hearing all the commotion

Marques just points at the balcony and his bodyguards run to chase after the vampires.

Dmitri picks up the phone on the other end.

Marques: "Get your ass over here, we have a problem!"

Marques hangs up before Dmitri can respond to his orders.

Marques spits on the floor still very angry.

Marques: God, I hate vampires!

He lies back in against his headboard angry at the world and ready to kill vampires, but he does move he just waits for Dmitri to arrive and his bodyguards to return hoping they come back with the vampires heads so he can mount them up in his study with the others.

Scene: Dorian's vampire crypt and underground hideout.

The vampires that attacked Marques make it back to the hideout.

Dorian: "Well is he dead?"

The female vampire: "Not exactly."

Dorian's patience is wearing very thin he growls a bit at them.

Dorian: "Tara, tell me what the hell happened!"

Tara: "The ambush didn't work, he's too strong now."

Dorian: "Damn it! It must be from all the blood. God, I wished he OD on the shit!"

Jensen one of the male vampires, the one that was hiding under Marque's bed finally speaks.

Jensen: "Well, it was a stupid plan to begin with."

Julian the one who came up with the plan and the vampire that hid out on the balcony growls at Jensen.

Julian: "Hey, you got a better idea!?"

Jensen just stares but doesn't respond

Julian: "I didn't think so; I have to do everything around here! Dorian's too busy fussing with some human tramp all the time. Tara's still all depressed about Marc and you can't seem to do anything, but complain Jenny!"

Jensen gets angry he hates when anyone calls him by that nickname and walks up quick to Julian to get in his face ready to fight.

Dorian yells at them before they start fighting.

Dorian: "Enough! This isn't helping! We need to keep it together if we're going to survive; there aren't as many of our kind left ya know. You want to stop Marques, we need help."

Julian: "From whom your new tramp?"

Dorian growls and his eyes get a redder with anger.

Dorian: "She's not a tramp! She's a hunter and Johanna can help us stop him once and for all."

Tara: "How? Hunters hate our kind; she's not going to help us."

Dorian: "She will if we make her feel welcomed."

Julian smirks then lets his sharp fangs come out of his mouth.

Julian: "Oh I can make her feel very welcomed alright."

Julian licks one of his fangs with his tongue. Jensen grins

Jensen: "I bet she has tender juicy flesh too Julian and very sweet blood, oh you know I love it when it's sweet."

Dorian frowns

Dorian: "Stop it! Not a one of you is too lay a finger or a fang on her or I will rip you apart is that understood!"

Tara gets closer to him and puts her hand on Dorian's shoulder as she looks into his eyes very concerned about him.

Tara: "Dorian, I'm scared, you know what Marques did to my brother, and he's got Lenore now too. I have to find her before its too late. Before she's sold away to god knows who or what like cattle. I don't even want to imagine what sick things that fucker has done to her."

Dorian takes Tara's hand off his shoulder and holds it in his hands as he looks at her.

Dorian: "Tara, I promised you I'd do what I can to help, we'll get her back don't worry. In the meantime, I need you all to skedaddle."

Julian raises his eyebrows not liking the sound of that.

Julian: Why, you got some hot date coming here tonight or what?

Dorian smirks

Dorian: "Well as a matter of fact, Johanna and her mother may be coming tonight and I need this place to be spotless. I need to be here alone when they show up so they don't' think it's an ambush, I don't want to scare them off."

Jensen frowns not ready to leave just yet.

Jensen: "We're tired Dorian, the sun is almost up now and those bounty hunters are still out there searching for us ready to kill us. We can't go home yet, can't we at least get a little sleep here?"

Dorian rolls his eyes and puffs his cheeks.

Dorian: "Fine, you can spend the day, but tonight I want you all out of here. Once I convince Johanna she can trust me. She'll take the potion and become a temporary fang then I'll introduce her to you guys. Once she's gotten into Marques inner circle she'll be able to poison him weaken him enough for the ambush to work that is if that damn Dmitri doesn't get in our way again.

Jensen's fangs come out as he growls at the sound of Dmitri's name.

Jensen: "Oh I can't stand that fang banger! Thinks he's so much better than us! Well we're not so bad that he won't screw a vamp when he gets the urge. I just want to tear him apart! He's knows where Lenore is, he has to! He's working for that bastard so he's got to know."

Tara: "I tried seducing Dmitri myself, he doesn't know where she is, Marques must be keeping her locked up someplace special a secret prison probably on his property somewhere or under it. I've searched, but haven't been able to find a damn thing. For months I've been his little maid and his whore and nothing! I can't find my sister! She is probably dead by now for all I know!"

A few bloody tears fall from Tara's eyes.

Julian goes over and hugs Tara. He hates to see her upset.

Julian: "Don't talk like that Tara, we'll find her we will."

Tara rests her head on Julian's big strong shoulder and tries not to cry. She knows it will only weaken her further.

Dorian: "Everyone just take a coffin and tried to get some sleep. It will all work out once we put the new plan into action."

Jensen puts his fangs away and yawns.

Jensen rips off his shirt and tosses it on the floor. Then he takes off the rest of his clothes.

Julian rolls his eyes and Tara shakes her head as they watch Jensen disrobe without a care in the world.

Julian: "Dude, do you always have to sleep in the nude?"

Jensen: "Hey, it helps my skin breath being dead isn't easy ya know, you got let it breath or you'll get disgusting cracks so much worse than wrinkles, it scares the humans off too quick then its harder to catch them. Besides you know you like it."

Jensen smirks at Julian and chuckles a bit.

Julian just rolls his eyes again as Jensen totally nude gets into one of the open coffins around the edges of the room and turns over to finally sleep his non-cracked apple bottom sticking out for them all to see.

Tara groans

Tara: "Oh nobody needs to see that close it will ya."

Dorian nods

Dorian goes over and closes Jensen's coffin not even bothering to give him a blanket.

Tara looks up into Julian's big brown eyes.

Tara: "You sleep with me alright I don't want to be alone today."

Julian nods and kisses Tara's forehead then hugs her once more. .

Julian opens up another coffin across the room then helps her to climb in it giving her his hand.

Once Tara is in, Julian gets in beside her and holds her for a bit until she drifts off to sleep; once she does he closes the coffin and goes to sleep also.

Dorian can't sleep he's too excited and nervous about Jo's visit so he just spends the day cleaning up the place and trying not to think about her. But, he has trouble doing the latter he can't help wanting to know more about Miss Johanna Harvelle.

Scene: The Harvelle's Hotel Suite.

Ellen is awake she's already dressed and showered blowing drying her hair in the bathroom.

Jo is sitting on her bed trying to think of how she's going to broach the subject of going to Dorian's tonight.

Ellen: "You're being awfully quiet Jo?"

Jo: "Uh, yeah I was just going to go down and get breakfast, you want anything?"

Ellen: "Well Dmitri said we can go over his place anytime if we want to eat so let's go there instead okay."

Jo smiles and walks over to the bathroom door to look at her mom.

Jo: "So mom, tell me more about Dmitri. You knew him before I was born?"

Ellen turns off the dryer and starts brushing her hair in front of the bathroom mirror.

Ellen: "Yeah, well he was one of the best hunters in Russia, but unfortunately a demon slaughtered his young wife and unborn child.

Jo stares in horror.

Jo: "That's awful did he ever catch up with the demon?"

Ellen: "Yes, Dmitri followed the son of bitch all the way to America; he found him and killed him. Your father and I met Dmitri back before we got married. Dmitri happened to be hunting down this really nasty poltergeist by that time and well we sort of ran into him in the woods near this abandoned house the ghost was haunting. He saved my life from it actually.

Jo: "Seriously?"

Ellen nods

Jo grins

Jo: "Then what happened?"

Ellen: "Then Dmitri shot your father full of rock salt."

Ellen laughs thinking about it now. Jo stares confused by this.

Jo: "That's funny?"

Ellen: "Well it wasn't at the time, but yeah it is funny because he thought your dad was the ghost for a second."

Ellen smiles and laughs a bit to herself.

Ellen: "After that though they became friends your dad and Dmitri well they had a lot in common, but boy were they both ever stubborn. Your dad he was raised a hunter just like Dmitri was, but you know that I wasn't so after Dmitri saved my life they both pretty much taught me the ropes. Your father was so grateful to him for saving me. But, they could be the best of friends one minute then the next they'd be at each other's throats. I even caught them wrestling in an old chicken coup once feathers flying everywhere. Then another time I found them both naked and stoned out of their minds after a hunt. They became like brothers in arms for awhile there and your dad said then there were times he felt the only one who really understood him was Dmitri."

Ellen pauses then smiles again continuing to brush the tangles from her long hair.

Ellen: "Dmitri was the one that gave your dad the idea to start up a roadhouse for hunters. I thought they were both crazy back then. I mean we didn't know anything about running a roadhouse, but wow your daddy just loved the idea. He wanted a place where hunters could get together share stories, tips on how to kill evil or just take a break, play some pool whatever. It was their idea to run the place together in fact they would stay up to all hours talking about it and the three of us went on many hunts together."

Jo: "I didn't realize ya'll were so close. Why'd he leave?"

Ellen stops brushing her hair then looks at Jo and frowns.

Ellen: "Uh it happened about a six months before you were born your daddy and he had some silly old fight and well Dmitri decided enough was enough and left it was really hard at the time, but we all eventually moved on."

Ellen walks out of the bathroom and goes to put her shoes on.

Jo watches her mother closely and she can't help, but wonder what more is there to this story.

Jo: "What was the fight about?"

Ellen: "It was stupid, no point bringing it up now. Besides we've got work to do."

Jo: "Yeah, about that I've been thinking and you know I really think Dorian can help us out here."

Ellen stares at Jo like she's crazy.

Ellen: "Is that who you were talking on the phone with in the bathroom last night?"

Jo pauses embarrassed her mother must have heard a bit of her conversation with Dorian.

Ellen: "I thought you were talking to Dean."

Jo rolls here eyes.

Jo: "No, I told you I wouldn't call Dean and I didn't."

Ellen: "Good its best you don't, then why are you talking to some vampire over the phone? He's not going to help us."

Jo: "But, he wants to that's why he called."

Ellen stands up furious and frowns

Ellen: "You gave some vampire your phone number!?"

Jo: "No, mother I'm not stupid! I don't know how he got it, but he did and he invited us to come by his place so he can."

Ellen interrupts her

Ellen: "So he can what? Eat us!"

Jo: "God no! Of course not!"

Ellen: "There is no way in hell I'm letting you go off to some vampire's crypt to get slaughtered."

Jo folds her arms and frowns.

Jo: "Its not like that can't you at least give Dorian a chance before you rip his head off."

Ellen: "A chance!? A chance at what? My daughter! I don't think so. The answer is no Jo I don't even want to discuss it anymore!"

Jo: "I thought we are supposed to be a team here? I know he's a vampire, but that's exactly why he can help us. If I am going to have even half a dog's chance of getting into Marques inner circle and getting him to believe I'm a vampire then I need to learn more about life as one. Dorian can show me that."

Ellen: "Dorian doesn't want to teach you how to be a vampire; he wants to turn you into one! Jo how can you even be considering trusting him, if he isn't trying to turn you then he'll just end up killing ya for food or God forbid something even worse could happen."

Jo pauses for a moment and though she's not sure she wants the answer she asks anyway.

Jo: "Worse like what?"

Ellen shutters at the thought.

Ellen: "He'll try to rape and torture you Jo! Remember what happened with Sam?"

Jo frowns and gets defensive.

Jo: "That was totally different and you know it! Sam was possessed by a demon you know he would never try and hurt me if he wasn't!"

Ellen: "Doesn't matter! Demons, vampires they are all the same they all want you dead or they want to torture and toy with you like you're their damn chew toy! No way in hell am I letting you alone with him."

Jo smiles

Jo: "Then come with me."

Ellen: "What?"

Jo: "Dorian said you can come too. He doesn't want me to be afraid so let's both go it'll be two to one."

Ellen shakes her head

Jo: "Listen! Even if you are right and Dorian does try and hurt me then good, then we can kill him! We don't want him going after some poor unsuspecting girl right. At least we'd be going in their knowing what's at stake, knowing how to kill him or any other vampires that try and mess with us. We're hunters; we're not damsels in distress! You can even tell Dmitri where were going so he can be on the look out. Dorian is not the threat mom, not really Marques is. If we want to get Marques and stop these vampire auctions then we can use a vampire on our side. They are not all as bad as you think."

Ellen: "And why the hell wouldn't they be?"

Jo: "Well for your information Sam told me about one that he and Dean met once that was a lot like Dorian. She didn't kill humans and she only drank the blood of cows. Gordon tried to hack her apart, but they stopped him. Sam said she could have killed him or drank his blood and turned him when she had the chance, but the vampire didn't. She didn't want to hurt him she just wanted to get away without getting killed. Now that isn't so evil is it?

Ellen: "See that is why that demon in Sam came after you, you're such an easy mark. Thinking vampires see humans as anything more than dinner is straight off some TV fantasy show, this ain't Buffy! This is real Jo."

Jo: "Maybe so, but I'll be the slayer if I have to be. I even get more blonde highlights to prove it.

Jo smirks.

Ellen finally cracks a smile at her daughter's joke.

Ellen: "Alright Jo, I'll make you a deal, you promise not to ask many anymore questions about Dmitri, you keep your head in the game on this one and I'll go with you to this vampire Dominic's crypt."

Jo smiles.

Ellen: "But, I mean it Jo, if that bloodsucker tries anything I mean if he even looks at you the wrong way I will rip his head off and drive over it with my Cadillac!"

Jo: "Okay, it's a deal and mom his name is Dorian not Dominic."

Ellen: "Doesn't really matter to me he's still a bloodsucker. Let's go see if Dmitri's home okay. He needs to know about this and we need to make sure he has everything we need for this spell to work. I don't want any surprises"

Jo grabs her jacket and the two ladies head off to the elevator then off to the car.

Scene: Marques's Mansion

Marques has a bloody knife in his hand as Dmitri enters the demon's home office study.

Dmitri: "Yes, what is the trouble boss?"

Marques: "It's those damn vampires again what else!"

Dmitri: "Did they try and attack you?"

Marques: "They are always trying too kill me, stupid sons of bitches, Lowe some foul bloodthirsty rats!"

Marques throws the bloody knife across the room and right into a framed picture on his wall of vampires devouring a dead human carcass.

Dmitri frowns.

Dmitri: "Do you want me to track them down for ya boss?"

Marques: "No, that's what my bodyguards are for. I called you here to discuss how the arrangements for this weekend's auction are coming?

Dmitri: "Its all coming along fine all the regulars have RSVP'd and Bela has finally convinced her Chinese buyer to attend in person this time"

Marques smirks

Marques: "Really? That's good. Oh how I'd love to break into the Chinese market. There are millions of young girls and boys there we can turn a profit on turning them into vampire slaves."

Dmitri fakes a smile.

Dmitri: "Yes, of course boss. Though Bela says he's extremely temperamental creature. He won't work with anyone he doesn't completely trust it's taken her a long time to get him to even trust her enough to come."

Marques: "Then make sure they have everything they desire once they arrive, set them up with a private villa and have them brought here before the auction for dinner. I will convince him he should want to do business with us. We've got the best clientele in the States and for the best price. Every other demon whose tried to tame these beasts before has failed, but I haven't you know why Dmitri?"

Dmitri just stares at him.

Marques goes over to the framed picture near the bookcase and removes the knife, he then pulls on one of the books and it opens a secret hidden doorway behind the bookcase where inside is a large 8ft cage.

The cage is covered in real blood and inside is Lenore trapped and cuffed by the neck and ankles by chains to the cage. Marques smirks as he watches her squirm.

Lenore's eyes get red, her fangs comes out as she angrily stares back at him and growls.

Marques: "I know how to tame these beasts you just have to break them down first. They can be stubborn, and they are very stupid so you have to let them know whose is in charge just like any animal.

Lenore lunges at Marques, but can't reach him through the bars. Marques chuckles at her sad attempt.

One of Marque's bodyguards comes inside to inform Marques that they lost the vampires trail. Marques throws the knife at the bodyguard and it pierces his heart.

Dmitri just stands pretending not to care.

Marques proceeds to carve out the man's heart with the knife. He licks the bloody heart then brings it over to the cage for Lenore.

Marques: "Mmmm yummy huh? Ya hungry?

Lenore is starving. She hasn't been fed any blood for weeks, but she refuses to speak to him. She wishes so badly she can escape and kill him.

Marques gets close to the cage and holds the bloody heart out to her, but she doesn't move trying to resist taking it from him.

Marques: "You not hungry vamp? Well I guess I can just throw it away then."

Marques heads for the fireplace ready to toss the heart in when Lenore rattles her chains at him. He looks back at her.

Lenore stands up and stares at the heart she's very hungry. Marques throws the heart at Dmitri and he catches it.

Marques: "Feed her for me will ya?"

Dmitri doesn't hesitate he goes over to the fireplace grabs a poker and stabs the heart onto the end of it. He then proceeds to hold it out on the poker to Lenore for her to take it.

Lenore: "Don't let him keep me in here like this please!"

Dmitri: "Why should I care?"

Lenore: "You're a hunter aren't ya? I can tell the difference between a hunter and a demon like him"

Dmitri pauses a bit nervous then gets mad.

Dmitri: "Shut up! Just take it bitch!"

Lenore finally grabs the heart and rips it apart trying to get at every drop of blood left in the arteries she can.

Dmitri: "God, how I hate vampires they are so disgusting!"

Marques: "Tell me about it! I only ever keep one as a pet at a time because I can barely stand the stench of them; they always smell so awful like rats."

Dmitri nods though he doesn't totally agree with him.

Marques: "Humans are almost as awful though. They are just not worth the hassle to enslave, too fragile of creatures. I mean if I were to sell human slaves I'd wouldn't make half as much money they die to quick and aren't nearly as strong."

Dmitri: "We're not that strong, but were a lot smarter boss."

Marques scoffs

Marques: "Being smarter than a vampire is nothing to boast about, their dumber than rats and smell worst. I do trust them though they only ever want to either feed or fuck just look at her. She's in heat now I can smell it."

Dmitri looks back at Lenore. She is still devouring the heart crouched on the floor of the cage in tears though her eyes are still red and her fangs are out as she rips apart the flesh to get at the blood.

Dmitri looks away again to keep from vomiting.

Marques: "They can't help themselves they are hopeless blood addicts, but humans you all have so many vices so many addictions oh you'll are never satisfied never! I like that it makes things a bit more interesting with humans. Ya know I have a dream Dmitri."

Dmitri: "Yes, boss?"

Marques: "I have a dream that one day humans will all be just as bloodthirsty as these vampires they'll want nothing more then to gorge on each other's flesh. In my dream they come from a place called Croatoan it's the mostly beautiful place I've ever seen, humans devouring humans, nothing but demonic savages. There's only one problem, one horrible thing keeping my wonderful dream from coming true."

Marques frowns at that thought

Dmitri: "What's that boss?"

Marques: "Winchesters!"

Dmitri stares not understanding what he means.

Marques: "I don't know why, but something terrible always happens in my dreams whenever these annoying Winchesters show up. I've had dreams as far back as I can remember of a world where the devil himself walks among us and majority of humans left on earth are Croates and all the vampires are demons' slaves. Every child screams, every woman bleeds and every demon devours every man we can. It's a paradise of pestilence and war, every night it's the same dream, except on Thursday nights for some reason its different then. A young hunter named Winchester and his brother they stop it, they stop it all and worst there are these awful angels. Angels that come and take over. This one in particular I don't know his name, but I called him the Angel of Thursday he helps these hunters destroy our God, destroy Lucifer. It's the worst nightmare I hate Thursdays I can barely sleep so I try not to on those nights, but then visions come even when I'm awake, they never stop! How do I make them stop?

Dmitri shrugs not only does he not know he doesn't really care to

Marques stares at him then looks away.

Marques: "Oh never mind, just get out! Go and tell Bela to call me as soon as she gets back in town with her buyer I want to see her. Out of all the humans on this awful planet, she's the only one I really like. She'd make a wonderful demon someday there is no question she's headed to hell, but till then oh I plan to enjoy every bit of her."

Dmitri fakes another smile.

Dmitri: "I'm sure she's looking forward to seeing you again too boss."

Dmitri finally leaves and Marques looks at Lenore's cage.

Lenore glares at him.

Marques: "Oh what are you looking at bitch!"

Marques presses a button on a remote on his desk and the door closes and the bookcase slides back in front of it so he doesn't have to look at her anymore.
