Chapter 4: A New Partner

It took a few minutes, but Jason got Jasmine to let him drive her home. It was a quaint two-story with manila paint on the outside. She let him in, so he sat in the living room as she got changed. You could tell she was a hunter. Several guns were around the room and a Devil's Trap was under the carpet.

He heard walking and looked up. Jasmine was wearing a black t shirt with shorts. Around her neck was something he hadn't noticed. It was a gold sphere attached to a chain. A locket the size of a ping pong ball.

"So…" she started, "you're wondering where everyone is?"

Jason had been thinking that, so he simply nodded.

She sighed. "My parents and my little brother were killed a few years ago by a great evil. I've been here ever since."

"Alone?"

"Yep. I mean, I go out for shopping and stuff, talk to people. Other than that…"

Jason got up. "Well then, I have a perfect plan."

"What plan?"

"Come with me."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. Me and you, crossing the country, hunting things. It'll be fun!"

She looked down, thinking. Then she smiled. "Okay. Let me go pack."

When they were ready, both were riding on Jason's bike, with Jasmine holding onto him.

"So, where to first?" she asked. He shrugged.

"I don't know. Usually I let fate decide."

They drove for a couple of hours when they hit Ohio. Jason decided they should stop at a motel for the night, and Jasmine happily agreed. After getting the owner to give them a room with two beds (he thought they were there for some 'fun'), they settled down for the night. Jason laid there, watching Jasmine sleep, her chest raising with every breath. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful. Hold up, did he just think about how she's beautiful? He felt really… he didn't know how to explain it inside. "Why is this girl making me like this?" he thought. "Wait. Do I… love her? No, probably just teenage hormone things."

With that thought, he fell asleep.

-O-

He was running down a dark hall, scared of something. He just didn't know what it was. Turning a corner, he saw a stream of red liquid coming from under a door, along with the smell of rotting flesh. Gripping his gun, he opened the door. What he saw made him instantly sick. She was on the floor, covered in her own blood. Several gashes were on her body. Her head was bent at an awkward angle, her eyes glossed over.

"No. NO!" he yelled, and then he heard cold laughter. Appearing over her body was a black shape, taking form a human under a cloak. All that could be seen under the hood were two glowing red orbs. It bent over and grabbed her locket. As it gripped it, there was a loud ringing sound. He collapsed and blacked out.

-O-

"Jason? Jason!"

Jason's eyes popped open. He looked around. They were still in the hotel room. Jasmine was sitting on his bed, looking terrified. He felt a wet patch on the back of his shirt. He'd been sweating profusely.

"Are you okay?" Jasmine asked, her brown eyes shining with tears. He guessed he really must've scared her. "You were screaming…"

"Y-yeah," he replied. "Just a bad dream I guess."

But what was the dream about. He tried to remember, but he couldn't.

"O-okay," she stuttered. She pulled out a water. "I got this, if you need it."

He thanked her and gulped down the whole bottle. He smiled at her and she blushed.

"Aw. Jason has a girlfriend."

Both of them whipped around. A dark shape was in a chair. Unfortunately, he was out of the light, so they couldn't see him. Jason whipped out a gun. The shape raised it's arms.

"Woah. Hold on, Quickdraw McGraw. I'm not here to hurt you."

Wait a minute. Jason knew that voice.

"Who are you?" he asked, and the figure got up and stepped into the light. He couldn't believe it. It couldn't be him. He's dead.

"Sam?"

"Yeah."

"But...how?"

"I don't know. I just kinda... showed up on the surface."

Jasmine looked at Sam. Obviously she was intimidated by Sam's size. Jason noticed this and laughed.

"Don't worry. Jasmine Thomas, meet Sam Winchester. He's kind of like a big brother to me."

Sam looked at her. "Thomas? Were your parents..."

"Dana and Robert Thomas? Yeah. They told me about you and your brother. You two helped them hunt a wraith, right?"

"That's right."

Jason thought of something.

"Does Dean know you're back?"

"No. He's happy with Lisa and Ben. I don't want to ruin it."

"So, what are you doing now?"

"Telling Bobby I'm back, and going with some relatives."

"Oh. So, no telling Dean?"

"Right."

He looked at his watch.

"Crap, I gotta go. See you around."

Sam walked out. Jason remembered his comment earlier and poked his head out the door.

"And she's not my girlfriend!"

Jason looked over. Jasmine was back asleep. He checked his phone.

"Ah, it's 5:30. I can catch a few more z's."

With that, he plopped down and was soon off to sleep.
