3rd POV

February 2nd

I've been with Thomas and Maeve for about two weeks and I've already learned a lot from Thomas and Maeve. Learning about the other creatures that lurk around in the shadows makes me feel like I've been blind to a whole other world other than my own. I thought my surprises ended when I got ghost powers, but now I catch myself watching the shadows for anything to come out a jump me.'

The raven haired boy ducks out of the way and covers his journal as a bottle comes soaring through the air before smashing into pieces on the wall behind him.

"Sorry Laddie! Didn't mean to aim for you!" a middle aged Scottish man by the name of Willy cried out. Danny grinned and opened his journal back up.

'Living with a Kitsune and an Incubus have been quite interesting, except for the constant string of men and women I have to awkwardly run into on my way to the bathroom in the mornings. I'm starting to think Thomas hates being without company. I spend many nights talking with Maeve. She's 2,500 years old, and has traveled all around the world. Listening to her tell stories of kings, wars, and the thousands of aristocrats she's experienced leaves me spellbound. When she describes each place, each encounter, I feel like I was there with her. I was upset to learn that the Winchester brothers I had ran into were hunters, and that getting close to them could be dangerous. I still keep their phone numbers with me though. I have a whole new list of creatures to add to my log of enemies.

Werewolves- can only be killed with silver; may be the nicest person, but will always turn vicious on a full moon

Vampires- CAN go out in the sun, crosses and holy water are useless; use dead man's blood to weaken them, behead them to kill

Spirits/ghosts- not just ectoplasmic creatures, they can be the souls of the dead who haven't moved on. Pure iron or Rock salt keeps them at bay, ionized salt doesn't work; to get rid of them salt and burning the bones, sometimes giving them a proper burial, or even just avenging their deaths can lay their souls to rest. Ghosts are probably the most common and most widely versatile supernatural being.

Demons- there's no real way to kill a demon, best thing to do is to exorcise them from their human host. There are demon traps, keeping the demon in one spot while exorcism is taking place. They hate holy water and it burns them. Demons are created from the souls of people who are sent to hell when they die. They have no morals usually, but there are exceptions (Thomas). There is no record of a way to reverse demonetization.

Angels- most hunters don't believe in angels, although Maeve and Thomas claim they exist. Like demons they need a human host, but angels must have permission from the human before taking over their body. No one has ever seen an angel, and they've never made their presence known. Not much else is known about them.

Things are quiet here in Cedar Rapids, so I've never come across any other creature other than the two I live with. I'm okay with that. I like the quiet. The only thing that concerns Thomas is the fact I'm something that they've never seen before, he's worried that if hunters were to run into me, I'd be tested on or just killed. He acts tough, but he's definitely a worrier, despite his macho, 'I'm a big bad demon,' attitude. It's also very obvious he has respect for Maeve and I do too. She's the oldest and wisest out of the three of us, and she's like a walking history book. Thomas and Maeve say they move around a lot, and they'll eventually leave Iowa. Will they let me go with them or will I have to part ways with the two people that have opened my eyes?'

The ghost boy closed his journal after slipping a picture of him and his two roommates into the page.

"Danny! Can you come clean up these tables?" Thomas called.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" The teen stood up and quickly tucked his journal into the waistband of his jeans, covering it with his t-shirt.

"So what's with the book? I've seen you with it a couple of times now," Thomas throws him a rag as Danny grins and starts cleaning up the mess left by the town's drunk, Buck.

"It's just a journal. I kept one at home too. Anytime I ran into a new ghost I wrote it down. Their name and traits. Powers and weaknesses, basically whatever I thought might be useful to me. Sometimes I wrote down my personal thoughts about them or whatever," The blue-eyed boy replied as he walks to the trash bin, carefully discarding it and throwing the rag back at Thomas.

"Ew, writing. You sound like a nerd," Thomas quips he heads behind the bar, "Oh I forgot to tell you, Maeve's leaving town for a few days."

Danny looked at his roommate, "Why? Is she okay?" Danny felt something tighten in his chest, but chose to ignore it.

"She's fine, but a few hunters have rolled into town, and she doesn't want to stay," the older man replied as Danny came around the bar to help him organize the liquors.

"What about you then?" Danny handed him a bottle casting his bright blue eyes up and him.

"I usually skip town too, but Chick kinda needs me and I can't leave you alone. If they discovered you I wouldn't want you getting hurt kid," Thomas neatly arranged the bottles as Danny let out an annoyed sigh,

"Thomas I-"

"Can take care of yourself, yes you've told me. I still wouldn't feel right, not after what you told me when you ran into those other two hunters. You're different Danny, and I don't want some narrow minded ass hats taking that away," Danny smiled and hugged Thomas. The older man's body jolted in surprise before he slowly lets an arm wrap around the fifteen-year-old.

"Thanks," Danny muttered and Thomas grinned as he gently ruffled Danny's hair.

"No sweat kid, now let's go home. I'm starving." The two gather their stuff and lock up the bar.

"Thomas! Come here a sec, I've got your paycheck!" Thomas looks at Danny.

"Go ahead and wait for me outside, I'll be quick." Danny makes his way to the back door and exits, leaning against the wall. His eyes scan the area quickly. In the darkness, something was lurking, it quickly zips away as it sees Danny look in its direction.

Danny's POV

I thought I saw a shadow move, but it was so quick that I couldn't tell if it was real, or my imagination playing tricks on me. I think on Thomas's words about hunters being in town. Why were they here? Maeve and Thomas have been so inconspicuous, the papers haven't even caught wind of their activities, and I haven't gone ghost since I got here.

'If hunters are in town, that must mean something else has moved in,' I thought as I bit my lower lip. I see something move out of the corner of my eye again and I straighten up, peering into the shadows. Despite the fact that every bad horror movie ever demonstrates why you shouldn't do this, I did it anyways,

"Who's there?" I call out into the dark alleyway. I feel the hairs on the back on my neck stand up and I take a cautious step backwards towards the front of the bar. Suddenly, a large body collides with me, knocking me to the ground. I feel it forcefully keep my shoulders pinned to the hard concrete as I struggle to push them off. I look up to see a man, well built and probably a good bit over 6 feet tall. The man grinned and I felt my body shiver in horror as I got a good look at his protruding fangs. I growl and I raise my hands as they glow brightly.

"Let. Me. GO!" I blast him in the chest, sending the vampire flying. I hear it growl in anger and I quickly scramble to my feet, preparing two more ecto-blasts.

"DANNY!" Thomas bursts through the back door as The vampire grabs me again. I struggle and I feel my panic rise.

"Danny stop. You have to focus, turn your body intangible! Intangible, Intangible…' I will my body into submission and I slip through the monster's fingers.

"Get back here you little runt!" he growls as Thomas comes over and punches him hard. The vampire goes flying into the next building as Thomas grabs me.

"Run! Now!" We dash off to the car as thomas hands me the keys, "Get in and lock the doors, don't argue with me, don't disobey, just do it," Thomas opens the truck and pulls out a machete. "Danny, now," he growls and I nod rushing to the passenger seat. I lock all the doors and watch as Thomas unsheathes the sword and heads back towards the alleyway. A knock on the driver window makes me jump. It's Chick. I let him in and he enters the car locking us both inside.

"Are you alright?" Chick checks me over for injuries and pays extra attention to my neck.

"I'm fine, Chick, do you…. Do… do you know what's going on?" I ask.

"A vampire Danny, and it nearly got you." I blinked at the bar owner in shock.

"You know about…"

"Yes, Danny. This isn't the first time something supernatural has come to town, and I'm not talking about Maeve or Thomas."

"You know?" I was baffled.

"It's hard not to notice the inhuman amount of strength Thomas has. Danny, how do you know?" I hold out my hands and make them glow green.

"By God, you're supernatural too." The man muttered as I let the glow slip away from my hands.

"I'm half human half ghost. I've been this way for about a year," I say. I hear a knock on my window and I turn seeing Thomas covered in blood. Scrambling out of the vehicle I hug the demon man tightly. Thomas hugs me back before pushing me away,

"I'm covered in vamp blood, I don't wanna get you all gross too," He says before wiping off his machete on his pants, "We gotta go before people notice,"

Chick exits the vehicle, "I'll deal with the body, you two head home. Maeve is probably worried by now," Thomas chuckles.

"If she's worried, then it's because she thinks I've gotten Danny hurt. The girl could care less about me," Thomas replies as he chucks the blade into the back seat, "Let's go Danny, thanks Chick, I owe you one." Thomas walks around and opens the driver's side door.

"No need, take care you two." I wave at Chick and climb in.

"Danny? Kid, you okay? You're shaking like a leaf," Thomas says, worry evident in his voice. He was right, I was shaking badly and I didn't know why. I felt something wet rolls down my cheeks and Thomas pulled me over to him.

"Hey, hey come on kid you're okay. Shhh, You're safe now. You're safe," I let out a whimper as my chest constricted.

'I nearly died tonight… I could've died, I could've become a vampire's meal, and despite my ghost powers I wouldn't have survived if Thomas had stayed inside a minute longer,' the thought sent fear coursing through my body as I began to cry. I felt dumb, useless, and vulnerable. I didn't want to have to rely on others to take care of myself. I wanted to be able to stop things from hurting me.

"Danny, it's okay. You are okay. Come on kid, you're fine, the things dead, no one got hurt," Thomas tried to reassure me, but I could hear how lost he sounded. He wasn't good in the feelings department, and the fact that he still tried to comfort me made an appreciative laugh come out of my mouth. Thomas laughed and patted my head.

"Are you okay?" I rubbed at my eyes, getting rid of my tears and nodded, Thomas ruffled my hair again and started up the car.

"Let's get home and get you some food then okay?"

"Okay," I sniffed and Thomas pulls out into the road.

3rd person POV

The two boys enter the apartment at 1:15 am to a silver haired girl pacing the living area, her cobalt eyes land on them and she launches herself at Danny, hugging him tightly.

"Chick called me, are you two okay?!" The fox spirit pulls away and examines Danny for any cuts or bruises.

"We're fine Maeve, I killed it so it wouldn't come looking for us," Maeve looks at him and nods before turning her attention to Danny.

"I'm fine Maeve," Danny mumbles and looks away from her. Even after living with her for two weeks the girl makes his stomach do somersaults. Maeve gently cups his face making him look at her.

"You aren't hurt at all?" she asks gently as he blushes and shakes his head. Thomas makes a gagging sounds and walks towards his bedroom.

"You two are disgusting, I'm going to wash the blood off of me while you two… canoodle or whatever it is you're doing.

"Is that you giving us permission to screw?!" The silver haired girl calls out

"I AIN'T YA'LLS MOTHER!" he calls out as incoherent stutters and words falls from Danny's mouth. Maeve laughs and watches Danny stumble over his words as Thomas shuts his door.

"Danny your face is beet red," she giggles some more as Danny huffs in annoyance.

"Stop laughing at me…" Danny tries to head off to his room but Maeve grabs his hand.

"Okay, I'm sorry. Please don't leave. Come watch a movie with me?" Danny glances at her and she gives him a pout. Her features were soft, and yet again Danny's heart overpowered his brain and he heard himself sighing before following her to the couch.

'I wish I knew how to say no to this girl. Her beauty might just be death of me,' Danny thought as Maeve put in a movie. She came back to the couch and cuddled up next to Danny who pulled out his journal.

"Aren't you gonna watch?" Maeve asked and Danny smiled.

"I can multitask, what movie did you pick?"

"The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," she replied as Danny uncapped his pen to write.

February 3rd

'Tonight I saw a vampire. It jumped me in the back alleyway of the bar. It had a whole set of fangs instead of the generic two like in the movies. It was fast and it was strong. Luckily Thomas came out in time to save me. If he hasn't been there I would've ended up dying. I wish I knew how to handle monsters on my own instead of relying on others. If I can't defend myself, I'll soon end up some monster's dinner. My ghost powers won't always save me, and I won't always have someone to protect me. Maybe I should start training, or ask a hunter for some tips. I wonder if Sam and Dean would help me? I should work up the nerve to at least call and ask. I'm sitting at Maeve and Thomas's apartment now, and Maeve dragged me into watching a movie with her. I really need to work up the nerve to ask her out too, but she's way too pretty. Plus, she thousands of years old, how the hell is a 15 year old guy supposed to live up to that? I mean, how would I ever take her on a date that'd be new and interesting? She's so outta my league it's ridiculous. I don't want to leave her, I want to learn everything I can about her.'

Danny stops writing to look at the girl curled up beside him.

'I swear this girl is killing me. No one is as smart, wise, or interesting as she is. I don't think I could ever look at another girl the way I look at her.'

As Danny shuts his journal as he feels his companion cuddle further into his side.

"You can't possibly get any closer than you are you know," Maeve looks up at smiles.

"I can always try you know," the ancient spirit rests her head on his chest as her eyes start to close. Danny smile and tucks a piece of her hair behind her ear before a yawn escapes his lips.

"I'll just… rest my eyes for a minute…" and before he knew it, he was fast asleep with Maeve in his arms.

Thomas walked out into the living room in loose fitting sweat pants and a muscle tee sporting an ACDC logo. Still towel drying his hair he looks at his two friends asleep and laughs softly, and gentle smile taking over his face. He remembered a time when he had been alone, now he doesn't know how he ever did it.

"Looks like you two parasites wormed your way through my walls huh?" The demon walks over and ruffles Danny's hair, "too bad you're both such pains to babysit," taking the blanket that had been draped over the couch, he gently covers his two sleeping roommates before heading to his own room to sleep.
