Chapter 4
Scene: In an open field next to a river.
Felicia stands by the burnt car with the driver's corpse still burning to ash inside his car.
Felicia watches as the car slowly rolls down into the river and disappears from her view.
Paul quickly appears in the field and smiles at her while flashing his all black eyes.
Felicia turns to look at him then she grins at him.
Felicia: "Daddy your back!!"
Paul holds his hands open and Felicia runs to hug her father. He picks her up and holds her.
Paul: "Good job sweetie you made it here all by yourself."
Felicia: "What about mommy is she coming?"
Paul: "I'm afraid mommy has fallen in with some bad, bad people sweetie pie so we need to rescue her from them."
Felicia pouts a bit upon hearing this news.
Felicia: "But, I'm scared daddy"
Paul: "Oh don't be scared you're a big girl now so no need to be scared not anymore. Lucifer is coming soon he will want to meet you, but first we need to kill these bad people and save mommy okay.
Felicia nods at him then smiles
Felicia: "Then can we go get some ice cream?"
Paul laughs
Paul: "Sure, baby then you can have all the ice cream you want."
Felicia grins again as Paul carries her out of the field off towards a road.
Scene: An abandoned dirt clearing
Dean has drawn several devils' traps all around the clearing in a big circle and one really big version of the mark of the beast symbol right in the middle of the devil's traps. He plans to summon a demon so he can kill it and get the blood they will need for the serum.
Dean steps outside of the big circle and grabs Ruby's knife from the trunk of the Impala and an old book. He looks around for just a moment then proceeds to read the summoning spell from the book.
Dean waits anxiously for a few moments, but no demon appears. He turns around to look once more and is about ready to leave when he turns in the opposite direction to see Castiel standing behind him with a stern look on his face.
Dean steps back surprised to see him again so soon.
Dean: "Dude, what's with the popping in all the time can't you at least give me a little warning before you just show up like that?"
Castiel ignores Dean's request and proceeds with his own dire warning.
Castiel: "Dean, you are headed down a dangerous path; the demon you have summoned is a very ancient and evil one."
Dean: "Yeah, what else is new? But, we need this demon's blood for the serum."
Castiel: "I'm concerned something bad will happen to you when this demon arrives."
Dean stares at Castiel for a moment and can tell how serious the angel is about his fears.
Castiel frowns with worry.
Dean: "Well I'll be fine."
Suddenly the demon he summoned appears right beside Dean instead of inside the protective circle like he'd planned. Dean is thrown telekinetically clear across the clearing knocking him into a distant tree.
Castiel realizes right away that it's not a demon after all its Lucifer himself, but this time he is in a replica of Jessica Moore's vessel though Castiel isn't aware of the connection Lucifer's vessel has to the Winchesters just yet.
Castiel glares at Lucifer and moves into the middle of the circle for protection.
Lucifer: "Where's Sam? I need to speak with him soon."
Castiel: "You stay away from Sam!"
Lucifer: "Castiel why are you even here? Shouldn't you be off saving some lovers I hear a cherub's gone rogue killing his charges."
Castiel: "I smelled a rat so I knew I needed to be here to protect Dean."
Lucifer: "Protect Dean?
Lucifer looks over at Dean's unconscious body still lying on the ground.
Lucifer: "Oh there is no need for that. I know what Dean wants. He wants some demon blood. Well I happen to have some to give him."
Lucifer pulls out a vial of demon blood and drops it right in front of Castiel.
Castiel looks down at it, but doesn't pick it up. He looks up and continues glaring at Lucifer
Dean slowly painfully wakes up then gets back up from being thrown holding his arm and wincing while staring at Lucifer shocked to see him in Jessica's body and very worried.
Lucifer looks over at Dean again
Lucifer: "You really should be a lot more careful when you summon things you never know just who might show up these days. I was hoping to persuade you to listen to reason and let me talk with Sam it's very important I speak with him."
Dean: "You can't have Sam so what is it you're really after ass monkey? What have you done with the girl?
Lucifer: "I'm here to help you actually. See if you want to save the darling little Moore family including Felicia than you're going to need blood am I right? So I brought you some"
Castiel still very angry and sure Lucifer is lying yells at him.
Castiel: "What have you done to the girl!?"
Lucifer: "I didn't do anything, her father did everything. He put the mark on her when she was a baby. He's been one of my loyal followers for quite some time he finally got what he wanted he's a full fledged demon so now he wants to give up his wife and daughter as a sacrifice to me. He loves and worships me that much. I don't really need his help or his sacrifices, but it's nice to be liked everyone needs someone to love them isn't that right Dean."
Dean just glares at him, but doesn't respond his arm still hurts pretty badly.
Castiel: "You just want Sam as your vessel we get it, but why the new one?"
Lucifer: "Well Nick has been getting a bit rough around the edges and being Jessica just feels so right for now, but yes eventually I'll need Sam all too myself. I know that's hard for you to accept Dean. You are use to being the numero Uno man in your brother's life, but I promise you I'll take good care of him, he is mine to protect. We belong together that's why I've taken this new form. He doesn't want to talk to me, but Jessica he will listen to"
Lucifer smiles trying to reassure Dean he means Sam no harm.
Dean: "You listen to me you son of a bitch! If you ever come near Sam again I will find a way to summon Michael here to fuck you up do you understand me!!"
Lucifer: "If you do that then what will happen to poor little Jessica here?"
Dean: "She's dead already you aren't the real Jessica you're just conjured up a replica somehow. You think pretending to be her will get you anywhere with Sam? Well you can forget it you stupid piece of crap!"
Lucifer: "Maybe so, but Sam still loves Jessica I think he'd want to rescue her family and I can help you do that."
Dean: "Family?"
Lucifer: "Yes, Paul is Jessica's cousin on her father's side. I can't even tell you how much fun we had with her mother's side of the family."
Lucifer smirks
Dean: "Why? Why use them? What do they have to do with all of this?"
Lucifer: "Ask Sam!"
Lucifer disappears as lightening flashes from above.
Castiel looks around to see where he went, but Lucifer doesn't return.
Dean walks back over closer. Castiel picks up the vial of blood at his feet and checks it to see that it really is authentic.
Dean looks at Castiel very scared now. Castiel can see how upset he is about all of this.
Castiel: "I'm sorry about this Dean."
Dean feels himself about ready to cry, but holds back.
Dean thinks to himself, I hate that son of a bitch! How can things get any worse? How am I supposed to break this sick news to Sam! After what he told me about Jessica last night! He still loves her. This is going to break his heart again! Damn it I want to rip that bastard apart for this using Jessica's family to get to him, trying to take Sam from me! I will kill him I swear to God I will!
Dean can't help feeling like wants to punch something he's so angry. Castiel can read Dean's thoughts and can tell how angry he is now."
Castiel: "You want to hit me Dean? Do it if it'll make you feel better"
Dean looks at him again surprised by his offer, but he knows hitting an angel in the face always hurts his hand more than anything else. Besides he would rather stab Lucifer instead.
Dean: "No! Just get in the car and let's go I have to see Sam!"
Castiel nods and gets in the car with Dean as they drive back to the house.
Scene: Bobby's house
Sam is in the kitchen researching on his laptop. His eyes are starting too droop, but he promised himself he wouldn't fall asleep until after Dean returned with the ingredients they need for the serum.
Sam thinks to himself, it's not like sleeping is any fun anymore nowadays after everything that happens, I never sleep well unless I know Dean's safe anyway so better brew another pot of coffee and wait till he gets back so we can get this over with.
Sam stands up about to make another pot of coffee when Sophia enters the room wearing a women's robe that belonged to Bobby's dead wife that he let her borrow.
Sam is surprised a bit to see her up and even more surprised at how pretty she looks in the soft pink silk robe with not much else underneath.
Sophia: "I don't mean to disturb you."
Sam: "No, its fine couldn't sleep huh?"
Sophia shakes her head a bit.
Sophia: "I just keep picturing Felicia's face in my head right before she disappeared."
Sam: "Yeah, I know that feeling. I was just getting ready to make some coffee. Would you like some?"
Sophia nods at sits down at the kitchen table. Sam begins to prepare to make coffee.
Sophia: "Why do you do this Sam?"
Sam stares a bit confused by her meaning
Sophia: "I mean you and your brother hunt monsters that isn't really normal?"
Sam nods a bit understanding her now.
Sam: "Yeah, well our father raised us in this business we didn't really have much of a choice really, but someone has to do it."
Sophia looks up at him confused by this
Sophia: "Why would he do that?"
Sam sighs
Sam: "Well our mother she was killed by a demon when I was a baby and well he became a hunter to find her killer."
Sophia frowns sad to hear such a horrible thing happen to Sam's family.
Sophia: "Did he find the uh demon?"
Sam: "Yes, eventually, but he died before he could kill him so my brother did."
Sophia: "Well good, I'm glad at least there is one less to worry about out there."
Sam nods once in agreement then turns the coffee maker on.
Sophia: "You know sometimes I wish I could find Mike's killer?"
Sam looks at her with confusion and she can tell he doesn't know who Mike is.
Sophia: "Oh Mike was my boyfriend, we'd been together well since I was a little girl. I remember when I first came here none of the other little kids would even talk to me, but Mikey he just came right over and offered to carry my book bag. He was such a sweet and affectionate guy, a very loving and honest person. His family had money though and well mine didn't so they didn't think we were a suitable match."
Sam frowns at the thought of such snobbery.
Sam: "What did he think?"
Sophia smiles
Sophia: "Oh Mike didn't care about any of that, he loved me and I loved him so that's all that mattered to him. He was going to propose to me on my birthday last year but."
Sophia pauses trying not to cry about it.
Sophia: "Well he didn't get to."
Sam walks over and sits down by her at the kitchen table.
Sam: "Do you mind if I ask how he was killed?"
Sophia: "Strange thing of it he was with Paul when it happened. They were good friends. Mike was coming out of their house when some guy in a car just drove by and started shooting. Mike got hit by a stray bullet, Paul called 911 for him, but by the time they got Mikey to the hospital he'd already passed away. I was working over at the Rivers' house when I heard the news. I didn't even get to say goodbye."
A tear forms in Sophia's eye and slides down her cheek.
Sam can't help himself this time he puts his hand up to her face and wipes the tear off.
Sophia smiles at him and he smiles back. He totally understands her pain at the moment knowing the pain of losing loved ones himself all to well.
Sophia: "You know that's been the only drive by shooting to ever happen in Willow Brook. This is a quite upscale suburb not the type to have a lot of murders or crime, well not until recently anyway. Mike was just one of the first, and Paul and his family was the latest, but there have been other murders around town. None of them ever seemed connected before. Police blame in on the immigrants that have come to the area over the years, but I disagree with that. I immigrated here myself and I know many who have and they would never do anything like that. Now well since you're here I guess it must be something supernatural happening huh?"
Sam frowns
Sam: "I'm afraid so. You know that's the worst part about our job is traveling to all these places and having to tell people that their loves ones not only are dead, but something supernatural is behind it. They usually think we're totally crazy at first, but once they realize we are telling the truth it's usually worse for them. Like not only have they lost someone they love, but now their lives will never be the same again. They can never go back, always looking over their shoulder for something evil to get them too. That is just no way to live really and I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But, sometimes it's necessary to keep people alive. If they know the truth they can better defend themselves and others. I should have told my girlfriend the truth too maybe then she'd still be alive."
Sophia: "Something supernatural killed your girlfriend too?"
Sam nods then gets up again. Sam goes to get the coffee maker and pour them both a cup.
Sam: "It was awhile ago back when I was trying to be someone I'm not. Her name was Jessica, Jessica Moore and."
Sophia interrupts him and gasps for a moment at the mention of her name.
Sophia: "Jessica was your girlfriend?"
Sam: "Yes, we went to Stanford together. I wanted to propose to her too, but I never got the chance. The same demon that killed my mother killed her."
Sophia: "I knew Jessica, she's related to Paul right?
Sam drops the coffee mugs full of coffee on the floor when he hears that breaking both mugs and spilling hot coffee all over the floor.
Dean comes in the front door right away.
Dean: "Sam! Sam! Where are you?"
Sam looks up as Dean comes into the kitchen. He's still shocked by what Sophia just said.
Dean: "Sam we need to talk now!"
Sophia wipes another tear from her eye and gets up to go back downstairs to the panic room.
Castiel appears in the kitchen and immediately notices the spilled coffee and broken mug.
Castiel: "You dropped something."
Sam tries to focus he can't believe he hadn't put the pieces together yet. All this time he never thought this Moore family was the same as Jessica's family.
Dean: "Lucifer is here Sam!"
Sam finally looks at Dean as Dean sits down at the table.
Sam: "What?"
Dean: "He came when I tried to summon the demon."
Castiel: "Lucifer is responsible for this Sam, for all of it. We can't let him get to you."
Castiel decides Sam is about to be really sad when he hears what Dean has to say so he begins to pick up the pieces of broken mug off the floor and clean up the spilled coffee so Sam doesn't have to.
Castiel is a bit surprised for just a second he feels like drinking a bit of the coffee off the floor just to taste it, but he ignores this strange urge to do so and wonders why he even has such an urge.
Sam can already feel himself getting a headache, he puts his fingers on his nose and blinks his eyes to try and make the pain go away. It doesn't!
Sam: "I don't understand why would Lucifer let ya'll go?"
Dean: "He doesn't want us Sammy, he wants you! That son of a bitch is running around in Jessica's skin now."
Sam can feel his blood boiling inside he is so enraged to here this. He immediately remembers how Lucifer came to him in a dream as Jessica. How he tricked him and pretended to be her for him! The recollection of it makes Sam want to hurl. Now he's back in her meat suit using her family against him.
Sam: "Where is he?"
Dean: "We don't know he disappeared, but listen Sam there's more to it turns out."
Dean pauses not happy about having to break this news to Sam.
Sam: "Jessica is related to the Moore family."
Dean is surprised for a moment he's figured it out, but then relieved too that he already knows the truth.
Sam walks over to the table and sits down. Bobby comes into his kitchen.
Bobby: "Well did you get the stuff?"
Dean nods and gets back up to put his duffle bag on the table.
Dean hands Bobby a bag full of the other ingredients for the serum except the demon blood.
Castiel pulls the demon blood out of his trench coat pocket.
Sam immediately stares at the vial he can't help wanting to drink it and go kill Lucifer, but he doesn't dare make a move towards the bottle. He knows it will only make things worse for them all if he starts drinking again.
Dean doesn't even like seeing the substance near Sam. He stares at Sam looking worried as Castiel hands the vial to Bobby.
Dean: "Castiel, you and Bobby work on the serum I need to talk to Sam alone for a minute."
Castiel nods and leaves the room with Bobby.
Dean closes the sliding doors to the kitchen so they have a bit of privacy.
Dean looks back at Sam really worried and scared for him.
Dean's arm still hurts from hitting that tree, so he takes off his jacket and puts it on the chair.
Dean looks at his arm and its bleeding.
Sam sees it too and frowns.
Sam: "Oh uh let me patch it up."
Sam makes a move to stand back up, but Dean interrupts him.
Dean: "No later, just relax a minute Sammy. I know this is a lot to handle man. Are you okay?
Sam shakes his head. His hands are also shaking a bit.
Sam: "No, Dean I'm really not. I mean why her?"
Dean sits down back down across from Sam at the table
Dean: "Because Lucifer's a dick that's why! He's trying to use her to get to you. But, it's not really her Sammy, it's not! Jessica is gone now and her family doesn't deserve this, neither does ours. But, you have to let her go Sam so we can get through this."
Sam looks at Dean then slams his fist on the table.
Dean jumps a bit from the sound now more worried about him than ever.
Sam: "Let her go?! How? She's been gone a long while now Dean! But, I still can't let her go! I think about her all the time, I dream about her at least once a week! I can't stop that! I never should have gotten involved with her. This is my fault, her death and now this, her family is all going to die because of me Dean!"
Dean frowns
Dean: "No Sam! It's not because of you! You can't keep doing this. You can't keep blaming yourself for everything that happens it's not all your fault so just stop doing that it isn't helping and isn't healthy dude."
Sam: "Well if that isnt' the pot calling the kettle guilty. You do it too. You blame yourself for everything all the time Dean, so why should I feel any different?"
Dean doesn't know how to respond to that he knows what Sam says is true, but he has to keep his game face on and protect Sam right now so he refuses to agree with him. He just stares at Sam.
Sam: "Lately I can't stop thinking about the day we met. It was the day before her birthday."
Flashback begins
Date: January 23, 2003
Scene: A bookstore near Stanford University Campus
Sam is inside searching for a book about California Law when Jessica walks into the store.
Sam doesn't see her walk in he keeps looking on the shelves for the book he needs.
Jessica also starts walking through the aisles searching for a gift, a very special book she wants to buy as a present.
She walks right by him and neither of them noticed each other as Sam has his head buried in the law book he has found and Jessica keeps searching for her own book.
Sam heads to the register to purchase his book along with other school supplies and eventually Jessica joins the line a few people behind him.
Sam buys his book and supplies them leaves the store, but as he is walking down the sidewalk he remembers he left his advanced calculator on the register counter in the bookstore.
Sam turns around to head back to the store as Jessica exits after just purchasing her new book wearing a cute baby blue t-shirt with a smurf on it and dark denim jeans. Sam bums into her on accident rushing to get back into the store. Jessica drops her book on the ground.
Jessica is a bit annoyed with him as her book has gotten dirty and since he's a pretty big guy it hurt when he bumped into her.
Jessica: "Why don't you watch where you're going dude?"
Sam apologizes
Sam: "I'm sorry miss."
Jessica looks up at him and immediately isn't impressed by his disheveled appearance. Sam isn't much interested in her either all that matters now is getting into law school someday, so girls are not on his list of priorities.
Jessica: "Let me guess you are not from around here?"
Sam: "No, I just moved here actually to attend Stanford."
Jessica pauses a bit surprised by this information.
Jessica: "I go there too. Where are you from back east?"
Sam: "Kansas originally, but I have been all over the country."
Jessica: "Kansas huh?"
Sam awkwardly smiles at her a bit embarrassed by his actions.
Jessica nods as she looks at him.
Jessica thinks to herself, yep he looks like some country farm boy from Kansas with that ugly plaid shirt on. He's probably the super nerd of his little farm town just moved west to be a Botanist or something. Does he think that shaggy hair of his makes him look like a California surfer dude or what?
Sam picks up her book and reads the title written in Latin meaning The Ninth Gate of the Shadow Kingdom.
Sam frowns at it then looks back at her a bit worried.
Sam: "Are you some kind of witch?"
Jessica bristles at the thought of him asking her such a stupid and rude question.
Jessica: "No, why are you?"
Sam: "No, I uh just forgot my calculator and."
Jessica interrupts him
Jessica: "Of course you did. Well can I have my book back please?"
Sam: "Yeah, sorry it's just I've read that one it's not a very good book if you are looking for spells that are going to work these ones are fake."
Sam can't help giving her this information growing up knowing the truth about ghosts and witches and spells he's done a lot of research so he always feels like he must share strange factoids with people he meets just in case its important. His background as a hunter has made him slightly paranoid that the people he may meet are connected to evil somehow so he doesn't trust she's not a witch.
Jessica: "Dude, for your information I saw the movie okay and I'm not into witchcraft. As a matter of fact it's not even for me it's just a goofy wedding present for my cousin and his new wife."
Sam: "Oh right okay."
Sam finally hands her the book back and she dusts off the dirt.
Sam: "Well have a nice day miss."
Jessica: "Uh yeah I guess."
Sam nervously walks away then heads back into the store to grab his calculator
Jessica glances back at him once and notices he does have a nice butt in those jeans. But, she's had enough man trouble lately so she immediately decides she's not really interested in the weird nerd farm boy who knows about witchcraft and spells anyway,
Jessica opens the book she just bought and starts to read it a bit as she walks away.
She glances up quickly before crossing the street, and sees nothing coming so she continues across the street towards the park.
She doesn't notice the low rider that whips around the corner trying not to miss the green light up ahead. Jessica just keeps reading the book and she turns a bit headed straight for the oncoming car without realizing it.
Jessica finally looks up when the driver honks and gasps shocked to see the car about to hit her.
Jessica feels her body being hit hard by something, but not by the car instead its a person who runs directly into her pushing her out of the way of the low rider and onto the grass as the man who's saved her life falls right on top of her.
She reopens her eyes to see that the shaggy haired boy from Kansas is her rescuer. Sam looks down at her very much concerned.
Sam: "Are you alright?"
Jessica: "Uh yeah I think so."
Sam smiles as he lies on top of her glad he was able to get to her in time.
Jessica: "My name is Jessica, uh Jessica Moore."
Sam: "Hi, I'm Sam Winchester."
Jessica smiles up at him a bit and stares into his pretty eyes which before she hadn't paid much attention to just assumed they were a mousy ordinary brown, but up close she now notices the beautiful spectrum of blues, greens and golds in his eyes. She feels her heart beat sped up as he stares back at her with an instantly endearing smile.
Sam and Jessica stare at each other for a few more moments both not sure why they are suddenly finding the other so attractive, but neither wants to move as they lie on the grass together.
Both of them fail to notice the invisible cherub getting off the bus across the street and walking away smiling knowing he's done his job just right and now two new lovers are born though neither would ever know he was there or for what purpose. It seems that just like Mary and John these two were meant to be as fate takes love very seriously all true lovers are fated to be together, but soul mates choose to love each other without fail or compromise for that is the only way the bond never dies even when people do.
Flashback ends
Scene: In the panic room
Sophia comes back in still unnerved by what she just found out upstairs that Sam once dated Paul's cousin Jessica.
Olivia is awake and looking very afraid.
Sophia looks at her.
Sophia: What's wrong can't sleep?
Olivia points her finger out in front of her.
Sophia looks to see at what and then gasps out loudly.
There is Felicia and Paul standing inside the room wickedly smiling at them.
The panic room door suddenly closes shut and locks with them inside.
Scene: In Bobby's Kitchen
Dean: "I know this sucks Sam, but you have to remember these angels have been watching us and planning this shit for a long time like before we were born even. They are trying to trick us again. Force us to do what they want. Well the hell with that! I'm not telling you to forget about Jess, I know you won't do that. I just don't want you to fall for any of Lucifer's tricks like."
Dean stops himself before he continues, but Sam can tell what he was about to say.
Sam: "Like I fell for Ruby is that it?"
Sam frowns at him.
Dean sadly stares back he hates thinking about that bitch and he knows it makes Sam upset when he still brings her up, but he knows that's what he meant to say and hopes Sam will listen to him this time.
Sam: "Well don't worry, I won't alright! I never loved Ruby like I loved Jess. I'll admit I was lonely, and I got stupid with her! But, I did what I thought I had to at the time. I didn't really want her and I definitely don't miss her. I still miss Jessica and I missed you all, so I let Ruby in. It won't happen again never again! Not with Lucifer or anyone else. I'm done with that okay."
Dean nods at Sam happy to hear him say it.
Dean: "Okay Sammy then lets take care of this."
Sam hopes Lucifer doesn't come to him again as Jessica though. Seeing Lucifer like that makes me so angry, I'll want to rip him apart using my powers if he shows up and I can't do that not without drinking again. But, I'm off the demon juice for good I hate that shit now. I won't ever drink again I can't! I just wish I didn't have this pit in my stomach though I'm worried what if I slip up again.
Dean remembers what Sam told him about meeting Jessica and tries to figure out how it all connects with Lucifer so he decides to question Sam more.
Dean: "When you met Jessica you said it was right before her birthday when was that?"
Sam: "Uh it was seven years ago uh Jan 24th she has the same birthday as you Dean."
Dean smiles slightly to hear that because he didn't realize they share this in common though it makes sense that the two most important people to Sam share the same birthday.
Flashback begins
January 24, 2003
Scene: A house party in Palo Alto, California
Sam waits nervously on the couch for Jessica to arrive. He hasn't been on a date with anyone since he arrived in California and after saving her life the day before Jessica insisted that he come to her birthday party being held at her friend Max's house.
Sam is wearing a different plaid shirt, but its still very similar to the one he wore the day before, he didn't see the need or even have the money to buy any new clothes for the party, but he did at least brush his shaggy dark hair for the party.
A pimply faced girl with glasses and big curly hair sits on one side of Sam staring up at him while on the other side is a huge mammoth guy just as tall as him only a lot fatter and mean looking. Sam feels uncomfortable and awkward sitting between them and hopes Jessica shows up soon since he doesn't know anyone else at this party.
The host of the party Max a beautiful black girl wearing a cute red tank top and tight black jeans enters the room. She's known Jessica for quite a while and she wants this night to be great for her since she knows Jessica's had it rough lately.
Max: "Someone hit the lights."
Sam watches as the place goes dark and everyone gets quiet waiting for Jessica to come inside the house.
Sam is a bit surprised by this seeing as though Jessica already knows about the party, but figures it must be some kind of ritual between her and her friends so he stays quiet waiting along with everyone else for her to enter.
Jessica comes up to the front door and enters Max's dark house slowly.
Jessica: "Hello, anybody home?"
The lights come back on quickly and confetti is tossed up in the air around her, the music cuts back on and everyone cheers.
Sam smiles as he watches from the couch Jessica laughing happily surprised though not totally surprised that all her friends have come and many other students from around campus looking for a fun night out.
Max hugs Jessica and so do a few of her other girlfriends as they huddle up in the middle of the living room surrounding her.
Sam thinks to himself, of course this girl is popular look at her she gorgeous. I have no idea why she'd be interested in me; there are plenty of other guys after her I'm sure. I don't know much about designers, but the clothes Jessica is wearing look pretty expensive. I've barely got two bucks to rub together until I find a decent job here in town. Maybe I can work at the bookstore I mean I know a lot about books and it could give me a chance to run into her again since everyone pretty much goes there to buy their school supplies and text books.
Sam stands up and his staring finally catches Jessica's eye as she mingles with her other friends all giving her happy birthday greetings and sharing the latest gossip.
Max notices Jessica ignoring her friends staring back at Sam bemused and happy he showed up.
Max glances over at him then back at Jessica again.
Max: "Jess, hey earth is calling you still with us?"
Max waves her hand a bit in front of Jess face to get her attention.
Jess smiles and snaps out of her trance.
Max: "So who's the tall hottie?"
Jessica: "I don't really know much yet. His name is Sam Winchester, he's from Kansas and he saved my life yesterday."
Max looks in shock
Max: "He did what?"
Jessica gets a huge grin on her face as she is happy to finally have the chance to tell her good friend what happened between them earlier.
Jessica grabs Max's arm and pulls her away from the others a bit so they can talk in private and so Sam can't see them or hear their conversation.
Sam stands with his fingers in his pocket awkwardly not sure who to talk to since he doesn't know any of these people and only came to see her anyway.
The pimply faced curly hair girl keeps staring at him too with a creepy look in her eye so Sam decides to take a leisurely stroll around the house and upstairs to the bathroom which he finds has a huge line waiting. Sam decides instead to head into Max's bedroom out of boredom to just wait by himself until he can work up the courage to go talk to her.
Sam thinks to himself, why is it so much easier to kill a ghost than talk to a pretty girl, my brother can do both with one arm tied behind his back. I guess someone had to get the social able flirty skills in the family, sucks it wasn't me, well at least I got the brains though. I wonder how Dean's doing nowadays anyway. I probably should call and find out, but its too risky he may decide to show up then my cover will be ruined. He and dad just don't get me or why I chose this life over hunting they probably never will, but I finally feel free. I can't go back now hopefully I'll never have to go back to that life even if it means I might never see them again.
Sam frowns sadden by that last thought secretly missing them, but afraid to go back to them at the same time.
Sam walks around her room looking at pictures and picking up books until he finally settles himself to sitting on her bed to wait it out.
Scene: Max's living room
Jessica: "Yesterday I was coming out of the bookstore when I ran into this guy and well at first I thought he was just some uncoordinated nerd, but then well I started across the street to the park and some idiot almost runs me over with his stupid pimp mobile."
Max already excited about the story eggs her on
Max: "Yeah then what happened?"
Jessica: "Well then Sam tackled me. He pushed me out of the way of the car and saved my life. I was scared at first thought I was going to die for sure, but then suddenly I'm on the grass and I open my eyes and there is the most handsome young guy I've ever seen just staring back at me. I couldn't even bring myself to speak it was like I just felt something right then ya know it was weird."
Max: "Like love at first sight?"
Jessica: "Well not exactly, I didn't love him when I first saw him like I said I thought he was clumsy and I just so wasn't interested I mean I just broke up with Brandon like what only a few weeks ago so I was in no mood for meeting someone new."
Max: "Yeah, about him, Brandon's coming tonight."
Jessica frowns with shock.
Jessica: "What! You invited Brandon!?"
Max looks at her sheepishly and sorrowful
Max: "I'm sorry I just couldn't say no, the guy's practically begged me to come. He wants you back Jess, he misses you."
Jessica: "Well he can forget it I don't want to see that cheating loser ever again!"
Brandon comes around the corner near the kitchen already searching for Jess
Brandon isn't as tall as Sam, but he's fairly attractive looking. He's a football stud with spiky gelled faux hawk and football jersey on. He also drives a classic 1965 black Mustang given to him by his rich grandfather.
Jessica hates the car and even keyed it when she caught him getting a blow job in there by some drunken cheerleader.
Jessica: "Oh shit there he is! I got to get out of here."
Max frowns
Max: "Come on this is your party, you shouldn't leave he should! If you really want me too I'll tell him he has to leave."
Jessica: "No, I can tell he's already drunk he'll just start a scene if he sees me then things will get really ugly. I'm going upstairs I can't deal with this right now. Not today of all days."
Max nods and turns to hide Jessica from Brandon's view.
Jessica crouches down amongst the crowd so Brandon can't see her and hurries upstairs to Max's room to wait until Brandon gets bored and leaves. Max plans to see that he leaves soon.
Jessica slams the door to Max's room still a bit angry that Brandon would dare show his face here. She stares at the door not even noticing Sam is sitting right behind her on Max's bed
Sam coughs slightly to let her know of his prescience.
Jessica whips around surprised to see him and a bit embarrassed.
Sam: "Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you I just want to uh say Happy Birthday, but you looked pretty busy downstairs."
Jessica looks at him for a moment then without hesitating rushes over and kisses him right away.
Sam is very surprised and almost pulls away, but settles down on her lips and enjoys the kiss tremendously.
Jessica twirls her fingers in Sam's shaggy hair and enjoys doing so because Brandon never would let her touch his hair. He always had to have it so perfectly coifed all the time and even if she had done so with him she only would have gotten her hands all sticky with gel, so Jessica is incredibly happy that Sam has such soft shiny hair with no product in it. She loves touching it.
Sam finally breaks the kiss and stares into her eyes not sure what to say to her, but very excited.
Jessica smiles back and she looks into his eyes and again she watches them change color this time from a soft gray to a twinkling blue.
Jessica notices the blue and gray plaid shirt he's wearing this time very similar to the one he had on yesterday, but for some reason this one's a bit tighter so it shows of his muscular arms much better Jessica thinks to herself and she likes that it brings out his eyes very nicely.
Jessica: "Nice shirt Sam."
Sam: "Uh thanks, but may I ask what was that kiss for?"
Jessica: "It was for you, but that's all you'll be getting for now. So why don't you tell me a little bit more about yourself."
Jessica goes over to sit in a small chair in Max's room ready to listen and find out all about him anything he wants to tell her.
Sam knows he'll have to leave a lot of details about his life out. He doesn't want to scare her off since this is so new for both of them, but he is happy that she's interested and he in turn asks her questions about her life as well, what's her major, why did she decide to attend Stanford?
Sam and Jess stay in Max's room for hours just talking and laughing without a care in the world having their own private party upstairs. Jess would eventually tell him the following year about what a jerk Brandon had been to her, and how glad she was to be with him instead so much so that on her next birthday she decided she didn't want a party at all. Instead all she wanted was to lie on the couch in her apartment and talk with Sam while watching old Twilight Zone episodes and eating junk food. Sam was very happy to oblige her though they did a lot less talking and a lot more making out by that time both more in love than either ever thought possible.
Flashback ends.
Scene: Bobby's study
Bobby: "Hey, Tweedle Dee and Dum get your butts in here!"
Sam and Dean hear Bobby's call leave the kitchen and enter the study
Bobby: "The serum is almost ready."
Dean: "Good, so now how are we going to find this girl?"
Bobby: "We can do another summoning spell only this time I'll do it, so you don't screw it up again."
Dean can tell Castiel filled him in on what happened out at the field so he pouts his lip slightly, but doesn't argue with Bobby.
Sam: "You sure it's a good idea to do it in the house with Sophia and Olivia here?
Bobby: "Yeah, its safest place we'll be on our turf instead of theirs."
Dean nods in agreement and hands Bobby the book with the summoning spell though he doesn't really need it since Bobby has already memorized the book and several others like it.
Castiel: "I don't hear anything."
Dean: "What?"
Castiel looks around as though he's listening for something
Castiel: "It's very quiet, too quiet."
Castiel frowns
Dean: "What you want some music?"
Castiel: "No, I mean downstairs something's wrong."
Bobby immediately becomes worried.
Bobby: "Boys, go check it out!"
Sam nods and both boys head downstairs slowly guns ready as they go to check on Sophia and Olivia.
Dean goes first and notices right away the big steel door is closed which they had left open before.
Dean nods at Sam as they both slowly inch closer.
Just as Dean reaches the door Castiel appears in front of it blocking their entrance.
Both Sam and Dean blink and silently gasp his sudden appearances still freaks them out.
Castiel: "No, don't open it!"
Dean: "Why? What's wrong in there?"
Castiel doesn't respond he just opens the door slowly and prepares for something evil inside.
The door opens supernaturally and it appears as though two bodies of Sophia and Olivia are asleep under blankets, but neither is moving.
The three of them enter the small room looking around quickly, but not seeing anyone else in there.
Sam: "Sophia? You awake?"
Sam goes over to her cot preparing to remove the blanket and wake her up. But, he is unable to.
He feels a strong kinetic force push him back slamming him into the door hard.
Dean yells out in a panic.
Dean: "Sam!!"
