A/N: Thanks to everyone for the great reviews! They certainly make me update faster. I hope to have two chapters up this week (this being one of them), but between midterms and life stuff, I'm not sure how much I'll actually get done. Now that I can finally update from home, things will be much easier.

A/N: Any and all mistakes are mine.

Summary: See chapter one.

Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural.

Righteous Blood

Chapter Four

An uncomfortable silence fell around the room.

"You don't remember me, do you?" asked Stephanie, shaking her head in disbelief.

Before Dean could answer, she turned and walked out of the house, hoping no one followed her.

Back inside, all eyes were on Dean, who looked dumbfounded.

"Dude, why was she looking at you like that?" asked Sam.

"I dunno," shrugged Dean.

"Have you ever seen her before?" asked Bobby.

"No, I have no idea who she is," said Dean.

"Was she, ya know, a friend of yours?" asked Sam. He used finger air quotes when he said "friend", knowing how loosely his brother used the term.

"What? No way," said Dean, defensively. "She's not my type."

"I thought every girl was your type, Dean," teased Sam.

"What the hell?" asked Dean, ignoring his little brother's comment. "Someone mind tellin' me what's goin' on here?"

Jerry stood up and walked over to where Sam and Dean were standing. They were talking about his daughter and he didn't like being treated as if he wasn't in the room hearing everything they were saying. He wasn't going to just sit there. "Look," Jerry began, "I don't know who you are, but if I didn't know any better, I'd say that it looked as if my daughter had just seen a ghost."

"Well then I guess she's not a good a hunter as you think she is," snapped Dean. "Especially if this is how she reacts when she sees a ghost." Jerry glared at him.

"Dean, come on, man," said Sam, "are you sure you don't recognize her? She was lookin' at you like you two know each other from somewhere."

"Yes, Sam. I'm sure."

~*~*~

"Steph, where are you?" called Danny. He'd snuck out of the house unnoticed. He had no idea she was going to react that way. Then again, he didn't know what sort of surprise Bobby had hidden up his sleeve.

"Come on," he tried again after no response. "This isn't funny. I just wanna talk to you."

Stephanie had always been good a hiding. When they were kids, they use to play hide-and-seek all the time. Danny was always the one looking for his sister because she always managed to find all the good spots. He was just about to shout "Ollie, ollie, ot sin free" when he spotted her.

Stephanie was leaning up against the side of an old Chevy towards the back of the yard, shoulders slouched and head down. As Danny got closer, he noticed that she'd been crying. Danny couldn't help but wonder, "Who the hell was this Dean guy, and what did he do to my sister?"

"Steph, you okay?" he asked, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Stephanie sniffled and picked her head up. "Yeah, Danny," she said. "I'm good."

"You wanna talk about what happened in there?" he asked.

"You wouldn't understand, believe me," said Stephanie.

"What wouldn't I understand? Why are you blocking me?"

"I'm not blocking you, Danny. I just don't feel like talking about it right now, okay?"

"Fine," he said, feeling rejected, "but I'm here if you need me." Danny turned around and started walking back towards the house. Stephanie sighed a breath of relief as she regained her solitude.

~*~*~

"Maybe you should go talk to her," suggested Bobby.

"You really think that's the best thing to do right now?" asked Dean.

"Bobby might be right," said Sam. "I mean, you probably just surprised her or something. There was no way she could have known you were gonna be here."

"None of us knew you were gonna be here," said Jerry. It was official: he didn't like Dean.

Just then, Danny walked into the living room. "What's goin' on?"

"Nothin'," said Jerry. "Dean was just gonna go talk to your sister."

"Um, yeah, I don't think that's such a great idea," said Danny.

"Why not?"

"Because I just spoke to her and she's not in the mood to talk."

"See? If she doesn't wanna talk to him," said Dean, pointing at Danny, "what would make you think she'd wanna talk to me?"

"Dean, " Bobby started, "she's the reason I told you to come here in the first place. I think it might be best if you talked to her."

"Fine," said Dean. "If it'll get everyone off my back. Where is she?"

"Out in the back," said Danny, gesturing with his thumb over his shoulder. "Good luck finding her though. She's a good hider."

Without another word, Dean left the house in search of Stephanie.

~*~*~

It didn't take him long to find her. Stephanie was in the exact same spot that Danny said she was; leaning up against the old, dusty Chevy.

"Well, I can say one thing for the girl, she's got good taste," Dean thought to himself.

Stephanie saw him walking towards her out of the corner of her eye. He was the last person she wanted to talk to right now, but she'd figured that this was all Danny's doing. She assumed that her brother had sent Dean out to talk to her because he wasn't being successful.

"Hey, Stephanie," said Dean. His voice sent shivers down her spine. Suddenly, she felt the familiar fear begin to rise as memories of their last meeting flashed before her eyes. She tried to rapidly blink the tears away, but she couldn't erase the image of him walking towards her, freshly sharpened razor in hand and a smirk across his face. The whole situation was making her sick to her stomach.

Dean walked up beside her and leaned on the side of the car. "Look, um," he started, "I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to say here. I swear I don't remember you. It'd really help if you gave me a hint."

"I don't believe you," she finally said, her eyes averting his. "I thought that of all those people, you'd remember me."

Dean racked his brain and came up with nothing. "Yeah, I'm gonna need a little bit more than..."

Stephanie turned and faced him. Without the slightest hesitation, she cut him off and said, "It was me, Dean. I'm the weeping bitch whose blood you shed to break the first seal."

A/N: The evil plot bunnies told me to stop there. Chapter 5 should be up tomorrow. Thanks for reading, and please review.
