They drive back to the house was quiet at first with Dean sighing every once in a while. "If you've got something to say just say it!" I finally snapped.

"What do I have to say!" He shouted. I held onto the handle that was on the door as Dean hit the brakes. "You're going to be the death of me dammit. I could handle the trying to save me I would even have let you off easy!"

I flinched. "I'm sensing a but though." Dean held up a Ziploc bag of the drug I'd come accustomed to.

"Why'd you have it, Alex." Dean I asked. I started to panic I couldn't tell him the real reason why I had it. I was fifteen, fifteen year olds didn't have nightmares was a hunter I should be immune to this stuff. Plus I didn't want to make the brothers feel guiltier than they already where. "Alex answer me!"

I swallowed hard. "I couldn't sleep, I kept having nightmares." I said trying not to cry. "It was the only thing that helped."

Dean started driving again calmed down. "Anything but that, I don't care how you get rid of the nightmares or get through them but not drugs."

Once we got to the house I got out of the car. "I'm not in the mood to train." Was all I told Dean. Once I got inside I walked right up to Sam and ran up to my room. I slammed the door shut and started sobbing hysterically. Sliding down the wall I got in the fetal position. It was only one night, and then I could get more drugs. Only one more night with the nightmares. I could handle this.

"Hey foods ready." I heard Dean say. I stood up. I kept myself locked away inside of me. If I couldn't see feel or hear than I wouldn't be afraid.

I followed Dean downstairs to the table and took a seat. I vaguely heard Sam say something of a greeting as I dished up some food. They talked throughout the meal while I listened not touching my food.

After they were finished Dean walked over. "I'm going to take your bandage off okay?" I heard Dean say. I didn't move and just let him lift my arm and started taking off the bandage. I didn't even flinch when they poured alcohol on it because I didn't feel it.

"Look at that Alex the blood finally stopped flowing." Sam said as he rapped up my arm again.

I walked up to my room numbly and crashed on bed wearing all of my clothes. I kept the light on as if I thought that would really stop the creatures from coming.

It happened at about two A.M. The first shadow crept into my room black like ink with a bony hand reaching out. I shook my head darting around the room as more of my tormentors showed up. One of them reached for me and scraped my arm. I screamed in pain and grabbed for my bow. "If it can bleed you can kill it." I whispered Dean's words.

I aimed my heart racing tears streaming down my face. I heard screaming, was that screaming coming from me? I notched an arrow and aimed. I squeezed the trigger.

I heard a thunk, but the shadow was still okay. How could you kill something you couldn't even shoot! I thought to myself. The shadows attacked me this time scrapping my face.

I ran out of my room and down the halls. I couldn't get away! No matter how hard I tried they just kept chasing me! I fell down and the shadows swarmed around me the scratches getting deeper. "I wailed in agony as one scratched over my already abused arm.

"Alex! Stop what are you doing?" I heard Dean's concerned voice say as he ran over quickly. At that moment my nightmare disappeared and my fingernail where broken and bloody. "Don't ever scare me like that again" Dean said as he rapped me in a hug.

I leaned into him still not saying anything. Slowly the tears started coming and I finally spoke. "They won't leave me alone! They don't go away until you come!" I shouted. He picked me up and once again I shocked by his strength.

"Do you want to sleep in my room?" He asked.

I nodded slowly embarrassed. Dean laid me down carefully on his bed and kissed my forehead. "If this is what helps then this is what we'll do."

I nodded and closed my eyes sleep hitting me like a brick.

I woke up the next morning to see Dean not on the floor where he was. Sitting up I looked around and the memories came crashing back.

Those shadows what did they want with me? More importantly, how do I kill them? I decided to talk to Sam to find out. I hopped out of bed and slowly walked downstairs. Every step a cut broke back open so it took me almost ten minutes to get down the stairs.

"Sam I need to talk to you about something." I mumbled sitting down at the table. "These shadows attacked me last night and nothing would work. I mean I used salt coated silver tips."

Sam looked up, "What shadows the walls are iron how could they get in? Do you think you summoned them like Shadow."

Shadow, he should've come and saved me! Why didn't he did the monsters keep him from doing it. "They where real, they gave me all of the scratches."

"Alex, I don't know what you saw but you were the one scratching yourself." I heard Dean say.

I froze. "What no! Those things did this to me!" I shouted.

Dean's frowned deepened. "Alex, you were doing it to yourself just look at your nails."

I looked down then frowned. I vaguely remembered seeing them in a terrible state last night. "I was hallucinating? I'm insane, I'm going insane!" I shouted going into shock.

"Whatever this is we'll figure it out." Sam said.
