~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Chapter 26

Back at the Town's Hall Amy proved to be a great help, especially when Dean noticed her though he did stay in character and get her number at the same time. Amy was able to get us past the guards and any nosy clerks and right to Jason. Jason on the other hand wasn't too happy when he saw the paperwork but understood and didn't ask for it to be redone.

Though I have to say Dean went a little over board on the dick of a boss act. Poor Jason was shaking as we left. In the car on the way back to the motel I pounded on Dean and told him he was a dick. His only reply was to smirk and laugh.

Sam on the other hand was floored at the info we got. It was more then what I thought and meant that half the day if not most of it would be spent going over it. Dean tried to wiggle his way out of it, but after throwing a few daggers, one getting buried deep into the door above the doorknob, Dean took the hit and had a seat at the table with Sam and started shifting through the files.

I took half and made myself home on Dean's bed with my music playing from my laptop, to Dean's most unpleasant annoyance and settled for a boring morning/afternoon.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ A/N – Switching to Sam's pov.

Yeah I thought today was going to be trouble no instead it was all of us, even Dean, pouring over paperwork. Sometime before lunch Nad got a call from the sheriff saying there was another accident but outside the Town Hall. Dean jumped at the opportunity to get out of the room and we both agreed that someone should go check it out, so Dean left… by himself.

I was just happy for the chance and turned to Nad. "Hey got a question for you?"

"Ok shot Gigas." Nad said getting up off the bed and coming to the seat across from me.

"I was just wondering about your tattoos and what they meant?" I asked leaning forward on the table.

"Oh them." She said as she relaxed in the chair. "Well it started…" she paused as a thought occured to her and then started back up, "It started with the ones on my back. My mom used say I was her dragonfly in training and that one day I would be one. Well when she died I decided that whether I had fulfilled that I was going to strive for it and had it tattooed on my back along with the daffodil. Because it's my favorite flower and a piece of my home with her."

"Well I learned while on a hunt that werewolves really like to attack girls from behind and got scratched up pretty bad on my lower back. It really pissed me off for my Dragonfly was just about destroyed and the bottom of the daffodil was gone. My uncle demanded two weeks of no hunting and I decided to take advantage of that time to have my tattoo's fixed. When he learned of that it he tacked on one more week. I knew when he did that that in truth he was waiting for the next full moon to see if I would change."

"It was wrong and I hated him for it, but understood. So I called up my friend, Steve, the tattoo artist and told him that something happen and he needed to fix my tattoos. He then told my to send him pictures and that he would schedule me in for the next week. Well it took three days for it was decided that a touch up wasn't enough." Standing up Nad walked up to me as she lifted her shirt. A long time a go she had stripped of her jacket and blouse plus her holsters, so all she was wearing was that dark blue white-beater. Then turning around she motioned to the lower part of her back, to the tattoo in question. "Run your hand here." Reaching up I placed my hand there and noticed the raised skin and bumps that littered that area. "Steve said that the scars would always be there but that with some color and creativity he could hide them."

"So what do the flowers mean?" I asked dropping my hand and looking up to her. She dropped her shirt and leaned against the table as she looked to me. Adding "I figured the bugs stand for the people in your life, past and present, but the flowers I'm stomped on" before she could speak.

"Yeah it was while Steve was coloring them in that we came up with the bugs. He actually had a book with different types and the meanings behind each and where they came from." She explained. I noticed her hand was touching her lower back as she talked and the hit of smile on her face told me that was she remembering that time like it was yesterday, but she was avoiding my question.

Grasping her hand and pulling her into my lap, I wrapped her in my arms as I told her, "It's ok if you don't want to tell me what the flowers mean just tell me about the others." She just nodded and for the next hour or until Dean got back she did.

As I had thought the dagger was for a time when she had been betrayed but not like I thought. It was her… she got it to remind herself that no matter what her worst enemy was herself and she had to be careful. She wouldn't tell me the incident but I took it that had to deal with what happen in her life. Though it was the next tattoo she got, she did it alone. Others have seen it just haven't asked about it, either they know or didn't want to pressure her about it.

The tiger on her right hip was to cover where she got cut on a vampire hunt. One of the vampires had gotten hold of her knife and used it on her but it was when she got it back that she showed that she had claws. The figure on her left hip though she just said that one day she would explain it but just not today.

We sat there for a little bit till Nad said we had to get back to research and that she was hungry. So I called Dean and told him to get food. He then told me that the victim was Jason, the guy from Town Hall who helped us in getting the info. Nad looked ready to pound something, but instead grabbed her phone and her knives then left.

"Hey I'm back… where's Nad?" Dean announced/demanded as he came in.

"You didn't see her when you came in?" shaking his head no, I rushed past him as I went out to look for her.

"Dude what's up?" Dean asked following.

"Nad left right after I told her about Jason."

"Does she have her phone?"

"Yeah and some of her knives, too." At the back of the motel was the woods, in fact the motel sat at the edge of the woods on the backside of town. One of the many reasons Nad chose this place besides the fact that it was right off the highway and the main road of the town was on the other side of the woods.

Just as I was about to turn around and head back I heard music. Dean was about to say something when I held my hand up and motioned to the woods. Following the music we found Nad several feet in throwing her knives at a poor tree. Dean stepped on a twig and very graceful Nad spun throwing a knife at him before springing into a back flip and out of sight.

"Nad, it's us." I shouted as I stepped into the area she had just been in. Her phone was perched on a tree limb behind me and the holster was hanging off the lower limb beneath it. Turning slowly as I surveyed the area, I smirked at Dean who was just getting up after losing his footing while ducking the knife. But what stopped me was Nad. She was behind Dean with the knife in her hand.

"Sorry Dean!" was all she said as she walked past him and to me but she continued right past me and to the tree where her knives where. "Not that I don't mind but why are you two here?"

"You vanished after learning Jason was killed." Dean said as he stepped up next to me. Glaring at him I added. "We were worried about you."

Dean glared at me as he punched me in the arm, I just ignored him as stepped to Nad. "What is it?" She was rigid like Dean had hit her instead of me she knew something.

"I think I know what is going on!" was all Nad said before she turned around and ran from us but not before yelling over her shoulder, "Can you get my phone and stuff."

Smiling at Dean as I grabbed her phone and holster, I pointed to the three knives still wedged into the tree and took off after her. I heard Dean groan but surprisingly it only took him several minutes for he got to the door before it shut after I got back. Though neither of us said anything as Nad was busy looking through the files and comparing them to one of her journals. I just stood there behind her reading over her shoulder and Dean sat down in the chair closet to the bathroom, she just ignored us. That is till she found something then turned to me and grabbed her phone.

Who ever she was calling picked up on the first ring as she was speaking fast. "Hey I need the story on the Teacher." Was all she said and both Dean and I were staring at her.

Ok if you review and ask I will tell you about the tattoos but it will tell you what I have planned. Plus anyone who can guess gets a cookie. Ok now review and tell me what you think? ~~Mary Mab
