I'm so sorry I didn't post yesterday. It's was... a long day...


Thanatos sighed a bit happily as he finished feeding the ducks at the park, loving how cheerful they all seemed after eating. He always adored coming out here to feed the ducks. They were always so adorable when eating, and afterwards as well.

Things seemed quite at the house, it having had been just him and Ei, as Dean had left early that morning to Flash knows where. So he'd left in hopes of finding something worth doing really. And feeding the ducks was that for him. Though, he did wonder what the shadow vamp was up too.

Suddenly he heard a doggie-like howl. Jumping a bit and turning around, finding a shocking sight. Jake and Dean... were playing catch. With a frisbee! Jake catching it like a dog really, with his mouth. Thanatos just couldn't believe the sight of it truly. It was an... interesting one, to say the absolute least.

Slowly he walked a little bit closer to them, hearing them laughing and having a good time. It made Thanatos wonder if they played catch a lot.

As they played, he could hear a conversation from them as well...

" So Dean! "

Jake asked, breathing heavily and almost doggie panting.

" Curious, when did you become a shadow vamp? "

What? What did this wolf mean? Wasn't Dean a natural shadow vamp? Turning to Dean he found the other freeze up, BARELY catching the frisbee before it hit him in the forehead. Looking... shocked. Or having wished the question wasn't asked. Though Thanatos wondered why. And why the question was asked at all.

Dean soon looked down, sighing and seemingly shaking the werewolf spit off the disk.

" I was hoping you'd forget about that Jake. "

The shadow vamp mumbled, crossing his arms.

" Well... it was when I was 14... "


The kid was in an alley way, curled up laying on a back pack and seemingly trying to sleep. He was wearing dirty brown clothes and his hair was slightly long and very messy. His eyes were a regular vampire red, and he still had his piercings. He seemed... miserable. And probably hungry. He was awfully thin...

The view shifted, showing Jack approaching the teen and grinning. It didn't take the teen long to see him either, springing to his feet in a heartbeat. Most likely terrified of seeing a demon.

" Who are you? "

The teen growled lowly, taking a defensive stance.

" You were in the restaurant... are you working for the man there? Clark? "

" No, I'm not working for him. "

Jack answered coolly, slowly walking over to the boy.

" Just saw you rush out here and I thought you might need some assistance. "

" Screw you. "

The kid huffed, getting a laugh from the shadow demon. This kid had spunk. A fire inside him. And he loved it. It proved even more the kids worth.

" Well! I just wanted to see of you wanted to make a deal with me was all! I mean really, clearly you need help. You look like hell. "

" Th-that may be so... "

The teen stuttered, beginning to look around, as if nervous, before turning his back to the shadow demon, bending down and grabbing his bag.

" But I'm smart enough to know not to make a deal with a dumb a** demon. "

The creature began to walk down the alley way, just wanting to head to the back corner of it. He wasn't going to get caught up in the demons shenanigans. He couldn't. With what little he had he had to keep it. His back pack full of food and beverages. Even if he DID deal, he had nothing to give. And what he did have he needed to keep. He'd lasted this long alone, he didn't need no demon now. He couldn't lose what he had...

" You can't tell me you're happy with your life kid. "

Jack called out, getting the creature to cease movement. Like he was frozen in place.

" I can fix that. I can give you power. Food, and shelter if you want. All you have to do if work for me. "

" ... Work for you...? "

The child responded lowly, almost sounding interested. Jack smirked to it.

" Yep. Help me on my missions, and do everything I say. And in return, I will get you out of this rut your in. "

The boy slowly turned to face the demon, looking... uncertain.

" And in return, you'll... give me what I need? Food, water, clean clothes maybe and possibly shelter? "

" Yes. All you have to do is work for me. "

The teen looked down, looking like he was mulling it over in his mind. On one hand, he didn't want to make a deal with a demon. They were cruel, and this one may mistreat him should he work for him. Many did. Yet on the other hand, the demon had a point. He DIDNT like the life he had now. He was homeless, alone, and starving. He slept in an alley way where someone could come and kill him in his sleep, and he had to steal to eat. He was a typical street rat. And he hated this life...

But working for a demon seemed incredibly risky... did he really want to chance things here? Risk working for this demon and wind up in an even worse position?

Suddenly his stomach growled, and the boy actually doubled over a good deal, holding his waist line. It was actually harmful for him to be hungry... looks like he didn't have much of a choice... slowly he turned to Jack and sighed.

" Alright. I'll... work for you. "

" Perfect. "

The demon smirked.

" Now, what's your name? "

" Dean. Dean Shadows. "

" How old are you Dean? "

" 14. "

" Perfect. "

Suddenly the demons hands began to glow, and a strange red circle surrounded Dean, causing the boy to gasp and back up in shock. As he back into the corner though a glowing red wall prevented him from leaving the circle, making him stumble into the center even. He looked up at Jack, finding his eyes glowing bright red and soon clenched his fist, causing the light to flare and completely consume the boy.

When the light faded, Dean, who was in the air for a bit, was soon lowered tot he ground on his hands and knees, his attire and hair style changed. He now wore his current day clothes, and his hair was now short with long messy bangs with a purple streak in it. His head was hung low, so no one could see his eyes.

Dean coughed, a good deal of black smoke leaving his mouth and soon forming into a skull before fading away. The sign he was now not a pure blooded vampire.

" Dean. Get up. "

Jack commanded. Red sparkles soon entered Deans purple streak and he rose to his feet. Soon he opened his eyes, reviling his red irises and black sclera. Jack smiled to this proud of his new "creation", needless to say.


" I'm... so sorry Dean. "

Thanatos said seldomly, finally walking up to the pair and catching their attention. Dean looked shocked beyond belief, and Jake surprised himself. But he didn't care. He meant it. All that, he...He couldn't believe Dean used to be homeless. He couldn't believe he made a deal with this shadow demon Jack. He'd... lost all his free will that day, and it didn't take a genius to see that.

" That, all of that it... it has to be hard on you. "

Dean frowned softly and crossed his arms, looking down off to the left.

" It's tough, yet... I guess it's my own fault. Jack only MADE the deal. He didn't... hold a gun to my head and force me to say yes... I said yes of my own free will. I pretty much screwed my own life over by saying yes. Despite all the pros to being a half demon now... being in his command forever... is something I wish had never happened. "

" Despite you saying this, it's still so unfair. "

Thanatos added gently, frowning gently.

" Something so unfair to happen to such a... likable, awesome person such as yourself. "

Dean soon blushed brightly to this, smiling and looking down again, rubbing the back of his neck shyly, mumbling softly.

" Ah... thank you, for this. I'll an... power through the curse thing. It's... gotten easier now that Jack's mellowed out a bit too. I-I'll manage. "

As the pair both turned a bit red, Jake found himself looking back and forth from between the two of them, soon... smirking brightly. Seeing a little something about Thanatos' behavior, and noticing his bestie getting shy. The "little something" wasn't inside Dean, yet... Jake could still tell his bestie enjoyed Thanatos behavior and "inner fire" a good bit. Knowing for sure these two would be great friends.


Again, sorry I didn't post yesterday. Hope this chapter turned out ok.
