I do not own any of Kripke's characters… Only Jackie is my own.
New Chapter!
The boys and Jackie hunted and exorcised and killed all over the country for a month. They were a great team; they seemed to know each other's thoughts. Jackie fit in perfectly; she was Sam and Dean's girl. As they hunted together more and more, Sam and Dean grew more and more protective of her. Dean loved her like a sister; Sam loved her as something more, but he never let it show.
Jackie was as good of a hunter as people said. She'd saved the boys more than one time. She hunted with style and class, and she never attacked in anger. She was a warrior.
Everything was going very well. But suddenly, the threesome's lives were put in jeopardy. It started with just a regular hunt.
Jackie got up early in the morning to find Sam already awake. They had just finished a hunt. They'd killed two demons that were terrorizing a small town near Buffalo. They were now resting in a small motel in the town. Sam was sitting behind a table with his laptop.
She snuck up behind Sam, put her hands on his shoulders and massaged them gently.
"Morning, Sammy."
"Mmm… Morning, gorgeous."
She smiled and walked over to the fridge and took out some eggs.
"Breakfast?" she asked Sam.
"Please."
Sam looked over at her, putting a frying pan on the stove. She was wearing shorts and a tank top. Sam had gotten used to calling her "gorgeous". She called him either "Sammy" or "love". They weren't dating, but Sam could see it happening soon.
Jack quickly whipped up some bacon and eggs and was ready to put it in front of Sam and Dean, who'd woken up about 15 minutes after Jackie had.
Jack put the food in front of the boys and Dean said, "You are wonderful."
"I know." She answered. "So. Do we have another hunt, Sam?"
"Yup. Baltimore."
"What's in Baltimore?"
"I think it could be a changeling."
"What?" Dean said.
"A changeling, you know, demonic kids etc…"
"Yeah it's just they aren't exactly common. We just hunted one, didn't we?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, well… what can you do, right?"
"Right, well, let's roll out." Jackie suggested.
The threesome changed, packed, and left the tiny motel. They loaded up into the Impala and drove on to Baltimore.

The string of freak accidents in Baltimore was definitely something supernatural. People were drowning in their Jacuzzis, being electrocuted by their computers, being stabbed by their own knifes. It was classic changeling behavior; however, there was more to this hunt than meets the eye.
"Alright well, I talked to the mother of a kid who we're suspecting is a changeling." Dean said, having just burst into the hotel room where they were staying.
"And?" Sam asked.
"She seems fine. Nothing's off about her. Jackie stayed a bit, talking to the mother. She's gonna see if she can get a word in with the boy, see if he's the stare-at-you-like-you're-lunch type."
"Alright."
About fifteen minutes later, Jackie entered the room, took off her long black jacket and threw it on the bed closest to her.
"Did you talk to the kid?"
"Yeah, I did."
"And?"
"I don't think it's a changeling."
"Why?"
"I dunno, there's just nothing weird about him. He talked to me like we were best friends. He seems fine. He's obviously upset about his dad, but he told me he likes Hot Wheels cars and asked me to color with him."
"Maybe it thinks you're hot." Dean said.
"OR… Maybe it's not a changeling at all."
"What are you thinking?" Sam asked.
"Demons."
"Demons?"
"I think so. I think they're just killing people for the fun of it. I think they possess the actual people that are killed, kill them and then move on to the next person they find. I think they're celebrating the Devil's Gate incident."
Sam and Dean looked at the floor. More and more people were dying because of that day.
"Hey, guys. Heads up. Don't let that get you down. You did everything you could to stop it from happening. These deaths aren't on your hands. I don't blame you." Jack tried to reassure the Winchesters.
They both smiled and Sam said, "Thanks."
"Look, I think there are more than one, and I think they are together. I think they're hiding in one place. That makes it easier for us. We'll find one of the demons, and simply follow them, and let them lead us straight to the others. Like a vampire nest."
"Alright, let's do that."

It wasn't hard to find a demon. They were the loudest and most obnoxious in the local bars. To be safe, Dean threw a bit of holy water on one of them, and they flinched and tried to locate the source of the pain. Dean hid out of sight and nodded at Sam and Jack who were pretending to be on a date in the corner of the bar. They nodded back. Once the demon left, they paid for the drinks, took an extra for Dean and left the bar hand in hand, followed by Dean.
It was probably a bad idea to follow them to their hiding place without knowing exactly how many demons were hiding there.
