Raindrops crashed all around them, causing a music note every time it hit her sword blade. Jessica kept her eye's narrowed and trained on the new vampire. He spoke the name Stefan Salvatore like it was a name she should have known. She kept the blade trained on his neck, the edge was so sharp it had started to make a thin red line of blood on his skin. The man paid no attention to the pain, but was concern for the weapon, he darted his eyes back and forth between Jessica and then back to the blade.

"Okay you don't have to tell me who you are, you must be a hunter-" Jessica pressed the blade further into his neck. "-which is fine I know a hunter. Or use to be his name is Alaric, do you know him?"

"No" Jessica said simply.

"Okay well like I said he used to be a hunter, now well, it's complicated." Stefan glanced at the fragile human on the ground. "Look all I want to do is help him. I can heal him with my blood before he bleeds out on the street."

Jessica blinked through the rain, this vampires only concern was to save a human's life? This had to be the vampire HE told her would help her with the MIkaelson's. She lowered her blade. Stefan immediately bit open his wrist and and knelt in the rain to feed it to the human. Immediately the human begun to heal and looked around astounded. Stefan caught the man's eyes and spoke softly to him.

"You had a good night, little too much of a good time, you woke up in the rain, you will not remember a vampire biting you or the hunter that saved your life. You will go straight home, and live a happy life always knowing vampires are works of fiction."

Stefan released his gaze, and the man looked around dumbly at his surroundings for a moment. He then got up slowly smiling to Jessica and to Stefan, "I never know my limits, I must be getting home." The man staggered down the street, never giving the headless body a glance or them a second thought. Jessica watched in awe as the man disappeared in the twilight light.

Jessica turned her attention back to the brown haired vampire who was standing in the rain with a sense of amusement across his lips.

"My name is Jessica." Jessica managed, wiping her blade on the deceased vampire jeans and returning it to her back. "No I am not a hunter, just someone looking to stop bad things from happening to innocent lives."

"Well Jessica now you can help me dump this body in the dumpster, grab the head." Stefan already gathered the torso and was walking it to the dumpster.

Jessica helped Stefan cleaned the body up, by the time they were done morning had already rose. The rain turned into a fine drizzle, the wind picked up now making Jessica shiver through her wet clothing. Her stomach growled fiercely begging for a decent breakfast. Stefan's vampire hearing seemed to have picked up her stomachs tantrum.

"There is a pretty good diner not far from here. You can warm up, and share with me you're clearly fascinating life." Jessica shook her head to say no, but before she could speak Stefan added, "we just cleaned up a crime scene least we can do is get a cup of coffee."

Remember that HE sent her there for a reason she agreed. Stefan smiled a huge genuine smile and lead the way. Jessica scanned the back alley but there was no sign of Klaus, so she continued her way with the new strange vampire.

Elijah was reclined on the sofa reading Jessica's ragged book. The book was called Supernatural, wasn't going to be America's Best Seller anytime soon. But the story of the Winchesters were nevertheless an interesting read. Elijah had sped read through most of sad story. They had both lost their mother at a young age and in turn lost their father as well. He took normal boys with a normal childhood and plucked them into the life of a hunter, a man on the run, hunting monsters and keep innocence alive. Elijah would have found the book a marvelous piece of fiction, but knowing this to be an actual account of two men's lives it made the book even more unique.

A loud door slam proclaimed his younger brother home. Elijah sat up from his position expecting Klaus with Jessica in tow in a loud and absurd argument. Klaus drenched with rain walked into the comfortable room, alone. Elijah looked at his brother then back to the door, expecting Jessica to appear any moment.

"Don't fret dear brother, your new amusement is safe. Infact she did an impressive attack on a blood thirsty vampire and almost took off Stefan Salvatore's head in the process." Klaus went straight to his liquor, filling a crafted glass with a amber liquid.

"The youngest Salvatore is still in town." Elijah spoke in thought.

Klaus took a sip of his drink, and hmm into his glass, "yes he had just received some magical treatment from Freya and was on his way out. That is till he ran into our guest-" Klaus stopped for a moment to study his older brother. "-What exactly are your feelings towards Jessica."

Elijah squared his shoulders, he narrowed his eyes studying his brother. He couldn't see this conversation going anywhere he felt comfortable. He flicked his eye's to the window, the rain was still coming down in a steady rhythm. "Where exactly did our guest go? Was it her intent to go out killing vampires this morning?"

Klaus smiled, and pointed one of the fingers that clutched the glass towards Elijah. "Deflecting the question." Klaus chuckled and made his way to the opposite sofa, the leather creaked as he reclined. "No first she went to the Marcels boxing establishment. Because of the blasted rain I didn't hear much what she did in there, but I could hear what sounded like a conversation. Before I could get close enough to listen in, she bolted out and ran straight to where a vampire was about to kill some human." Klaus took another sip of his drink and thought for a bit. "The strangest thing is before pursing her, I looked into the old church, no one was in there."

Elijah parted his lips in thought. "Could she have been talking with an angel?"

Klaus finished his drink and leaned his head completely back into the sofa. "Only she knows, but she knew exactly where to go to find trouble. I couldn't even hear the activity till I was upon it, because of the storm. Was an impressive kill on her part. She talked to the Salvatore then they both went to a crummy looking diner. I figured she could handle herself and I trust Stefan's horrible conscience won't let anything happen to her highness."

Elijah sat pondering the new information. Perhaps Jessica was now trying to get the Salvatore's in joining her war. The Salvatore's where young, but have proven themselves far capable in strength, they even succeeded in killing an Original. Damon and Stefan were very powerful vampires, specially if the brothers worked together in accomplishing a goal.

He had been lost in thought about the Mystic Falls gang, he was startled to see Klaus' eyes open and studying him. Klaus nodded towards the book that Elijah had folded over his finger. "The Winchesters book?"

Elijah blinked at the book, and handed it to his brother who looked it over carefully. He kept silent still pondering Mystic Falls and now the Winchesters. Wasn't but couple months ago they found out demons and angels were all real. Now they were being thrust into the supernatural world with only a book to guide them. The book didn't just recall the Winchesters tragic lives but also the world of the supernatural. Elijah stood up and walked towards the water beaded window. He had walked this world for a thousand years, thought he had seen everything. His eyes looked over a shadowy alley, he hadn't even scratch the surface what mysteries the world held. His whole life was spent treading the world of magic. Meanwhile another world treaded softly next to his, hidden in the shadows, the spiritual world. For years he thought he and his family were the top of the monstrous beings, but the winchesters had fought more monstrous beings than his family combined, and they walked in both worlds.

"What are your thoughts on these Winchesters?" Klaus thumbed through some of the pages. Elijah kept his eyes trained on the shadows.

"There are no words brother." Elijah parted his lips and breathed a long pause. "Brother we have lived a long time. But if what that book says is true we have much to learn."

Elijah heard the leather shift under his brothers weight. He didn't have to look to know his brother was looking at him startled.

"The book talks of demons, angels, archangels, spiritual vampires and werewolves, Djinn, ghost, reapers, golems, changelings, wraiths, banshee, leviathans, and-" Elijah smiled, "-something called a Jefferson Starship." He turned to his brother who was still processing the first monsters he named.

"Does it say how to kill these new spiritual monsters?" Klaus was looking at the dog eared book with new sense of awe.

"Yes it does," Elijah nodded to his brother. "You should start reading. We have to catch up in knowing what we're up against."

Immediately Klaus turned to the first page and started speed reading.

Dean sat down with his freshly made burger. He had some talents, killing monsters, hunting things, being a mechanic, but one of his hidden talents was being able to cook. He frowned at Sam who sat with a salad and was studying his laptop screen. Dean shook his head, he had no idea what he was missing, he thought as he took a big bite savoring the juices that were brought forth. This was bliss.

"I found some lore on these Mikaelson's." Sam said. interrupting Deans heavenly experience.

"What does it say?" Dean said though his chewing.

Sam shot a disgusted look at his older brother. "Well according this, they were created vampires by their mother who was a powerful witch. She used the magic of a white oak. Apparently the tree is their one and only weakness."

"So where is this tree?" Dean wiped his hands on a napkin.

"In a place called Mystic Falls. But the tree caught on fire and was burned to the ground." Sam clicked open a link about Mystic Falls. "Also the current events of this Mystic Falls shows a huge magic activity."

"How come we have never heard of it?" Dean abandoned his burger to look over his younger brother's shoulder.

"We have been focusing so much on demonic activity, magic activity has been swept under the rug." Sam stopped in thought. "Why does Mystic Falls sound so familiar?"

"Hmmm, oh Bobby." Dean jumped to a bookshelf and pulled Bobby's journal off the shelf. "Bobby knew of a hunter in that area. Which is probably why we didn't pay attention we thought someone was in the area handling the situation." Dean thumbed the journal and stopped on a familiar page. "Alaric Saltzman, also goes by 'Ric'."

"Does it say if Bobby knew him personally?" Sam sat back looking at Dean.

"Nope just that he was qualified and very skilled at hunting a new type of vampire. And apparently his wife was turned to vampire. So this Alaric made them his specialty" Dean closed the book. "Well let's go to Mystic Falls and meet this Alaric Maybe he knows more about the Mikaelson family, and these new vampires."

Dean walked towards the exit followed closely by Sam. Till stopped in his tracks and quickly turned around.

"Forget something?" Sam smiled watching his brother.

"Yep. Almost forgot my damn burger!"

Jessica leaned over her coffee cup, thankful for it's warmth. The pretty brown eyed vampire smiled at her. She was very pretty, she dressed like a warrior, but her features stood out. Her wet blond hair clung to her face in stringy waves. Her perfect complexion was white from the cold making her full ruby lips stand out. He shook his head from her entrancement, he had a girlfriend but at that moment he couldn't even remember her name. CAROLINE!

Jessica gasped at the waitress brought her pancakes. "Oh yes!"

"Your eggs and bacon are on their way." The middle age waitress smiled, she then looked at Stefan. "Are you sure you won't eat?"

"Ah no thank you, as you can see she is the hungry one." He smiled kindly. With that the waitress left, busying herself with her other customers.

He laughed as Jessica immediately dove into her meal. "You haven't eaten in awhile I'm guessing."

"Nope" Jessica reached for the maple syrup. "Been little busy."

"Business or Family?" Stefan asked curiously.

"Dressed like this what do you think?" Jessica eyed him while chewing.

"Well my first instinct is to say you hunt vampires. But you let me live, so you just hunt the ones that murder." Stefan thought out loud. "I would say business."

"Good job." Jessica took another bite, savoring all the flavors the fluffy pancakes offered. She swallowed and looked at her new companion. "Question is are you here seeing the same people I am?"

He smiled, " I doubt it, the people I came and saw are not very friendly towards humans. Especially ones who carry swords and are killers to our kind."

"Ha! We are seeing the same people." Jessica smiled brightly. "You were either on your way or have already seen the Originals."

Stefan was shocked. The girl in front of him had been in the company of the Originals and lived to tell about it. She was more powerful than he thought. Though it wouldn't go as much of a surprise, Klaus and Elijah would probably be very intrigued in this human, same reason Stefan was right now sitting across from her. But what business would a human have with the Original vampire family, and why would they have business with her. Stefan had just helped Klaus with the Strix and a witch problem, causing Klaus to be unlinked by his sire line.

Jessica took a sip of her coffee studying the vampire. "So I'm guessing you went and saw the Mikaelson's because of that injury on the chest?"

Second time Jessica had shocked him. "How?"

"I can smell the herbs that I'm guessing Freya applied to help hide the wound from something strong in magic. I bet it's a good story, you can tell it while I eat." Jessica smiled.

Stefan went on to recall the events. The powerful pissed off huntress who was chasing him because he was marked by her blade. That if she caught him, she would stab him with her magical sword sending his essence into a vampire hell called the Phoenix Stone. He told her that he and his brother Damon have already been caught by the stone and that the hell and torment that ensued on the both of them. So now he was marked she would chase him and leaving his home town Mystic Falls. He was on the run to protect everyone he loved, that he came here to Klaus knowing the magic didn't work in Rousseau's bar, one of Klaus' favorite spots. Freya did indeed help him after he had helped them with their problem.

Jessica ate her breakfast in silence. Only interrupting the story once in awhile to ask a question or two. The story had all the twist and turns of a television series. But this was real life and the brown eye vampire was still on the run to save his family and friends from this huntress.

When Stefan's story ended Jessica was resolved in helping him. He seemed to be a quite unique vampire in unselfishly keeping his humanity. He had powerful friends excluding the Mikaelson's. She did want to help him, but was also selfish reasons she could desperately need his help.

She nodded towards his chest. "Can I see the mark?"

He hesitated long enough to see if anyone was looking in their direction. Then pulled his shirt down to expose a X mark wound where his heart would have been. The wound was open, except a past of herbs coating it like a poor man's band aid.

"Those herbs won't last long, you will have to reapply." Jessica replied, as Stefan covered the wound back up with his shirt.

"Freya told me of a garden where some witches keep their herbs. The herbs I need are very rare, but I could possibly find some there." Stefan's eyes fell down to the table. Jessica could see the man was desperate and the garden was a long shot but there was nothing else he could do.

Jessica sighed, and looked out of the window. The wound was created by magic, a very powerful magic. But maybe something of the spiritual could help. She looked back at the vampire who still sat looking at the table in thought.

"I might be able to help." Jessica looked around the diner, it was far to busy for what she had in mind. "But not here. We will have to go somewhere no one can see."

"We could go to the Mik…"

"No not the Mikaelson's. Klaus would kill me if I brought this in his doorstep specially when his little girl is in the same house." Jessica nodded to the window. "That place looks abandoned.

Stefan followed her eyes. Across the street was an old brick building, windows were boarded up and a chain around the double doors. The chain would be easy enough to break so they could have full access to the place. He looked at the blond one last time, her crystal eyes seemed very genuine, at this point Stefan was desperate.

"Okay" he signaled the waitress. "Check please."

After the bill was paid, they walked quietly to the building. Stefan looked up and down the street, and gripped the chain on the door tightly. The steel came loose in his hand easily and they both entered the old building.

Inside the building, it was exactly as advertised. Rain seeped from the poorly patched roof. Boards and debris laid all over. Place smelled of must and mold that was taking over all the corners of the brick. Jessica walked to center of the room and looked around one last time before she locked eyes on Stefan.

"Okay Stefan what I'm about to show you will probably either scare the crap out of you or will just haunt you for the rest of your life."

"If it gets this damn mark off I don't care if you pull a bunny out of a hat. Just please get it off." Stefan looked at her urgently.

Jessica narrowed her eyes and spoke in a very hushed tone. "What are your thoughts on demons and angels?"

"Easy, we are either or." He looked at her intently. "But I don't think you're talking about the ones that just sit on people's shoulders. You mean actual angels and demons?"

"Yes." She blinked.

"Well they can't exist. That would mean there is a God, and that he allowed monsters like myself to exist."

"Well they do exist." She paused as he giggled. "You and I can get into a theology debate later. But right now do you want my help?"

Stefan finished his giggle and looked at her long and hard. "Fine whatever I'm desperate."

"Okay, just don't scream." Jessica closed her eyes. Leaving Stefan looking around smiling at the absurdity of the whole situation. "Castiel if you can hear me I need your help I need you to come to me now." She peeked and looked around.

Stefan let out a little chuckle. "Look I don't know if you're some religious nut but…"

"Hello" The husky voice interrupted Stefan in mid sentence.

Stefan whirled around to come face to face with a man in an overcoat. The man had piercing blue eyes and dark hair. The man was not out of breath so he couldn't have ran into the building and certainly not without Stefan's vampire hearing not detecting it. The man stood head to one side looking at Stefan curiously.

"Castiel thank you for coming." Jessica walked to the stranger's side.

"I see you have found another one of those creatures." The man named Castiel said in the same deep and husky voice.

"What the hell are you?" Asked Stefan in shock.

Castiel turned back to Stefan and narrowed his eye's. "I'm an Angel of the Lord."

Jessica turned to the shocked vampire. "He is Stefan and I want to see if he can heal you." She turned to the overcoated man. "He has been stabbed by a powerful magical blade. Can you heal it from him?"

Castiel almost rolled his eyes and walked to Stefan. "I will do my best." He stopped and looked at the vampire carefully. "Where were you stabbed."

Stefan slowly pulled the collar of his shirt down exposing the wound. Castiel quickly glanced at Jessica and shook his head.

"This wound was made by very powerful magic." He said matter of factly.

Jessica stepped closer, "Just try your best... please Cas."

Castiel nodded and looked at Stefan in the eye. "You might feel some heat."

All Stefan could do was nod. The man took a slight step back. A golden glow rose behind him, the light was almost blinding. But in the light Stefan stared in horror as wings formed and spread themselves. The wingspan was as big as the room making the vampire feeling very small to the creature. The man's eyes shone a brilliant blue light, Stefan couldn't take his eyes off of the deep blue, it was the most beautiful color he had ever seen.

Just as promised a heat rose on the wound. Stefan could feel fibers of muscle and skin forming together and pulling the wound close. From the wound a green gas seeped out, Castiel using the brilliant blue light formed the green substance into a tight ball. When all the green had found its way out of the wound the blue light surrounded it and formed the gas into a tight ball thus creating something that looked like a emerald glass. The blue light penetrated the glass ball, the green ball went from a sparkling emerald to a dark brown then black color. Castiel's light retreated causing the glass ball to fall and shatter at their feet.

Stefan let go of the breath he didn't know he was holding. Castiels light died down, turning him from something brilliantly fierce back the the overcoated simple man. Out of reflex Stefan reached up to the wound finding just skin.

"I'm healed!" Stefan exclaimed.

"Well of course you are." Castiel said emotionless, he turned to Jessica. "The curse was broken as well, the- ah- stone that was tied to his wound was broken in the process."

"Thank you Cas." Jessica smiled and took his hand. "Now tell me how are the Winchesters?"

Castiel hesitated looked at the still surprised Stefan. "The brothers are on the move again. They are going to a place called Mystic Falls."
