We had been on the road for like 8 hours, I'd been sleeping for 6 of those hours. It was now 12 in the afternoon and I was getting hungry, Coffee can only do so much. Ry was stretched out in the back, his legs squishing me while he was doing his homework. I had my Ipod on full blast trying to drone out the hungry voice. I was drumming along to 'Renegade' by Styx on Ry's legs.

"Stop!" He said but I could hear him. "Rachael, STOP!" Again couldn't hear him. He took a piece of paper from his notebook and crumpled it. He threw it right towards my head. It bounced off and I turned my head and glared at him.

"What's your problem!" I asked annoyed as I turned down the music.

"You, your annoying me with your stupid drumming!"

"So what! Deal with it." I rolled my eyes.

"Whore."

"Slut."

"Guys would you cut it out! I swear we have a bunch of five year olds in the back." He grumbled the last part to himself mostly.

"Hey, were not five!" We both said in unison.

"JINKS! You owe me coffee!" we said again at the same time.

"Jinks, Jinks, Jinks..." we kept repeating the same word over and over at the exact same time.

"Your right they are five." Sam said to my dad. We saw a sign that said we were heading into Indianapolis, thank god, a city! I was getting bored of little towns in the middle of nowhere.

My dad stopped off at a dinner. It was pretty cool, kinda 60's retro. We sat in a booth in the far back so no one would bug us. We got our drink order in then my dad started talking.

"So I called Ash before we left. He said that Salem has a lot of demonic presences there." Ry and I looked at each other.

"Your point." I asked taking a sip of my chocolate milkshake

"This might be a good place to move to." I nearly spat out the shake.

"What?!" I asked getting pissed. "Umm, no, were not moving anywhere, I have friends, A boyfriend! There's no chance in hell I'm moving to..Salem! It's just not gunna happen!" I was clearly not liking the plan.

"Rach, this is a good place to hunt, there is more demonic presences there than anywhere else. We should at least check it out."

"Well have fun living in Witchville, cause I'm not moving."

"Rachael, you don't really have a choice in the matter, your moving where ever were moving." Sam piped in. The one time he talks and he's on my dad's side. I slumped down and crossed my arms.

"Dad, we can't just up and move in the middle of the semester." Ryan said trying to now reason with our dad.

"It's not the middle of the semester, you just went back like 3 weeks ago. Look I know you guys hate the plan but we should really do this. I've already checked it out and there are some nice places to rent and the school is really close." I got more mad with ever word my father said. I couldn't just move away from my well loved life. What was wrong with Lawrence. NOTHING, that's what! "Were moving next week, end of discussion." wow, his plan was perfect, drop the biggest bomb on the face of this earth at a dinner in a city we don't know so we can't leave. Good job dad, really good move.

We sat in silence the whole time we were eating. I didn't even look at my father the whole time. As we got to the car my father tired to talk to me.

"You want to drive?" He stopped me from walking.

"Whatever." I took the keys. I tried to walk away but he stopped me again.

"What the hell is wrong with you, you know we have to do this, our job, saving people, it requires us to move, it just happens to be father than you'd like, well to damn bad!" I looked at him for a second.

"You said you hated the way you grew up and you'd never do that to us, well look at what's happening dad, your making us move to a freakin state that has more demons than hell it's self! I don't want to move, I happen to like the way were living."

"I know you do, I kinda like it too, but there are a lot of people dying and we can save them. Now I think that's a good enough reason to move."

"Yeah, demons come first, family comes second, right dad?" I looked at him one more time before getting in the drivers seat. My dad sat in the back with Ryan and I took off. I got some drivers lessons from my dad so I was a speed demon just like him.

I'm pretty sure I shaved off like 5 hours off our journey. By the time it was 6, we were in good ol' Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I pulled into a motel that looked fairly cheap but looked good enough to sleep in. Dad got us a room for ourselves and one room for him and Sammy. Ryan and I set our stuff down and I laid on one of the beds.

"You really don't want to move do you?" I asked as he sat down next to me.

"Not really but I mean, a new place a new challenge." I did like challenges, but that was besides the point, I didn't want to leave the best things that ever happened to me! "Look just don't think about it for now, you might change your mind during the week." I sighed. Like that would ever happen. I took the remote from the night stand and turned on the tv. I started flipping through the channels. I came across 'The suite life of Zach and Cody.' Ryan looked at me and sighed.

"Hey, girl with remote." I said showing the remote. Ry tried to snake it away from me but I pulled it back so he couldn't reach. "Nu uh. I got it first!" Ry tried to get it again but it didn't work.

"Fine, but you brought this onto yourself."

"Ooh I'm SOOOO scared." He grinned evily then without another word he started tickling me. "Ry, stop! Come on!" I said through laughter.

"Nope." he kept tickling me. He proceeded to tickle me even though I gave him the remote. A few minutes into the torture there was a knock on the door. We knew it was dad cause he did that stupid knock that he always did. Ryan got up to answer it. I threw a pillow right at his head.

"JERK!" I smiled. When he opened the door I saw dad and Sammy come into the room. I instantly went from happy to pissed, still mad that dad was making us move. I saw they had food in there hands. They set the food down and looked at us. Dad came and gave me a chocolate milkshake.

"I know your still mad, but freezing me out won't do anything. Come on Rach, the move will be fine, you'll make new friends, if we move there we won't have to go very far for a hunt." He was trying to make amends, I'll give him that. I nodded slowly, still not wanting to back down from my argument but I didn't want to be mad at my dad for very long, we have this crazy relationship and I didn't want to mess anything up. This was probably the longest I've been mad at him. He hugged me tight and smiled.

"So what did you get for dinner, please, don't tell me it's burgers!" I asked declaring the fight officially over. Dad paused.

"Okay I won't." he got up from the bed and walked over to the food.

"Are you serious! I still wonder why were not 500 pounds!" I shook my head and got my burger. We ate our burgers infront of the tv watching the news. It was a good end to a well eventful night.

The next morning we got up around 6, well Ryan got up at 6 I slept in another half hour. The one thing I hate about hunting is the early mornings. I heard Ryan getting out of the bathroom and his footsteps coming over to my side of the bed. I could smell his hair, which means he was leaning over me which means... "GET UP SLEEPY HEAD!" he screamed in my ear. I jumped slightly from the loudness of his voice. I groaned loudly and rolled over on the other side of the bed.

"Five more minutes." I said sleepily.

"No go, kid, get up." I hate when he calls me 'Kid', just another way of telling me I'm younger. I mumbled a few choice words as I got up and dragged my body to the bathroom. I ran the water and took off my PJ's. I let the water rush over my body, It felt good. As I washed my hair I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. It was a creepy feeling, I knew noone could be watching me but still I couldn't shake the feeling. I rushed through the rest of my shower. I put a towel around me and went to the room to get clean clothes. Ryan was no where to be found, which seemed really weird, but he was probably with my dad or something. I got some new clothes then proceed to go back to the bathroom. I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around but didn't see anyone. I shook my head and laughed at myself.

"Damn I got to stop watching stupid horror movies. This is just way to Hollywood for me." I turned around and standing right infront of me was a guy as tall as my dad but had wrinkly forehead and had yellow eyes! That's right, yellow eyes!

"Hey Rach, long time no see, how've you been?" he said evily. I took a step back.

"Who the hell are you! Get out of here!" I screamed clutching the towel tighter around me. "How- how the hell do you know my name!?" I stepped back to the duffle bag that had all the guns in it.

"Wow I'm hurt that your daddy didn't tell you about me. Basically, I'm your future, and I need you, and your brother." I looked at him confused still walking backwards. "Will you please stop walking." I stopped against my will. I was getting more scared. Now unable to move the guy walked towards me.

"What are you talking about, you need us."

"You guys are special. We need you to help us. Now be a good little girl and come with me, so I can help you."

"I'm not going anywhere with you! Get out of here, you have no right being here."

"Of course I have the right being here. I knew this was going to be hard. Look, you can come with me, you and your brother, and I'll leave your little daddy and uncle. If you don't come with me then well I'll just have to kill anyone that comes into my way, just like your little mommy."

"What- what do you know about my mom, you don't know anything about her!" I was seriously getting pissed. He couldn't know how she died.

"Apparently neither do you. I guess your dad didn't tell you how she died. Screaming above you and your brothers bed trying to protect you..."

"She died in a fire!.."

"That I started." his voice was dripping with evil as he got really close to me. His smile was so scary. He touched my face, all I could do was let him touch me. Tears fell from my eyes. I finally realized who he was, THE demon, the thing that took my mom, the thing we've been hunting. "You look just like her. So tall, strong, pretty. If I didn't have to kill her I wouldn't have, but alas, I had to, but you, I don't have to kill you but I will if you don't come with me." I was at a rock and a hard place. I didn't want to leave my family but he was making it really difficult for me to get out of dying.

"I want to make a deal." He looked at me intrigued.

"You know your not supposed to make deals with demons."

"Yeah well I failed grade 1, I never really grasped the whole 'never make deals' lesson." I said sarcastically, hiding my emotions.

"What's your deal?" He asked impatiently.

"I'll go with you under a few conditions, you give me a year with my family and after that year, when I leave with you, you leave my family alone, Everyone of them, including Ryan."

"See I can do everything up until the leaving Ryan out of it, see I need him too, so, I'll give you one year, after that, you and Ryan are coming with me."

"No. Just me, you don't him, I can work extra hard, just leave him out of this." He thought for a moment.

"And you'll do everything I say?"

"I'll be the best soldier you've ever had." and with that he kissed me. It was so cold, lifeless even. It was disgusting, having a forty year old kiss me. Either way the deal was done and within a year I'll be with him, where ever that would be. I heard the door open.

"Hey I was just- your still wet? Dude you've been in that shower for like an hour! Dad is about to leave!" Ryan said setting down the room key. I looked at him confused.

"I was in that shower for like 10 minutes and then getting clothes for like 5 minutes."

"Umm no, I left here at 6:30 and it's now 7:38." he looked at the clock on the night stand. It didn't make sense, how could I have been talking to the demon for an hour yet it feel like 5 minutes. I head was swarming with questions, then it really hit me, I mad a deal with a demon, something my father drilled into my head that I was never supposed to do, yet I did! In a years time I was going to be with the demon, never to see my family again.

"Right, I'll- I'll be back." I ran to the bathroom and started to cry.

I just made a deal with a demon!
