"What? Luther what was that?" He saw it in her eyes in her face, she still loved him at least despite being cured miraculously of his virus.

"Well it seems my blood is better than the fountain of youth, if anyone ever got there hands on some of this... just wow." Jo was now being avoided like a leper the vampires wouldn't stand with in a foot of her. When the room the vampire mate started glowing they all felt a weird shine in themselves, meaning that now they knew what she was, well they knew what she could do. This wouldn't do for the leader though he changed Kate again and then carried her to their room to rest. When he got back all he wanted was for her to leave. He shoved the gun into her hands and tried to push her out.

"GO! Now just leave, I don't want the thing anyways." She saw that he was panicked and only trying to get her to go away, but she didn't want the boys to be suspicious. If she got out with the gun no less, it would be a miracle if she were human.

"I can't go, my brothers don't know about this and it will be very suspicious if I somehow break out of here with the gun." He groaned, never before had he had the problem of a hostage that refused to leave. She started examining the gun and sat down in one of the hammocks.

"Then how am I supposed to get rid of you?" Killing her wasn't an option and he couldn't force her to do anything, so this was the next logical question.

"Hostage exchange." She took an apple out of nowhere and bit into it, this was the obvious solution. The only problem was that he wouldn't let a single one of his out of his sight now, they were planning on skipping town instead of going after them. Though if she were human she would be going with them or killed. As they didn't want to do either of those things, a trade would be the best.

"Okay I'll send out one of my men, they won't kill him will they?" There was no garentee of that, not if it was stunt vamp number 3, no it needed to be a big player or they wouldn't trust it.

"The problem with that is that they don't think you care enough about any of them, the only people they would keep in a hostage situation, is you... or your mate."He growled at her, powerfully god like thing or not, his Kate wasn't going out there, especially how she was now.

"NO! Thats not going to happen, I won't allow it." How cute how he thought he had a choice.

"Listen, Kate will be fine, she'll live at least, and so will you. Away from me and my power." She knew he was upset about her being there, no child wanted an adult in his room to ruin the party. It was kind of funny how he saw her, like a queen he didn't want to be controlled by. Truthfully she didn't want control anyways. She knew he wasn't going to budge, so like it or not she did control him, and it was with her mind. It felt good to release some pent up power but she pushed that thought away. It was never good to relish in her power. He fought her order but it clouded his whole mind and body and he went to get his mate and set up a trap.

Before too long Kate was captured and pumped full of dead mans blood. They set up a road block to make sure John would stop where they wanted him to. They made a show of tying her up and she gave herself some bruises and messed up her hair. It was just John so she could have dropped the act, but a quick sweep of his mind showed that the boys were not far behind him.

The vampire leader held the rope her hands were tied with in one hand and the gun in the other. Now was the time for negotiation.

He got out of the car and held Kate by a rope in one of his hands, she was incredibly weak. He balked at the sight of her, he would have thrown down both of his bargaining chips and ran towards her, but Jo was still in his head.

"Kate are you alright?" He was right to be worried but there were more important things to talk about, she nodded, knowing this was an act, even if her weakness wasn't.

"The colt, Elkins gun. Give it to me, I'll give you the girl."

"Gladly, as long as you take this... thing too."He was guesturing to Jo, John barley looked over at her.

"Of course I want her as well, she can be useful... at times." Wow that was very insulting she saw in his head that wasn't an act. Now she was the Queen first, and his daughter second. It hurt a lot to see that but she stayed put. The boys were watching them now, and they were very confused about his last line.

"Dad? Please... get me away from here." She fell pretending to be the weakest one in the clearing. She was pleased that John was actually concerned for her. Here she looked so weak and surrounded by vampires. He still saw his little girl, even if she wasn't little and she had never really been his, she belonged more to her brother and Bobby they raised her more than this man did. Still fatherhood was a strong bond, just that fact was enough to make her seek his approval. The re-newborn Kate was lurking waiting for her chance to strike, she was hungry and brand new again. Not an easy thing to control, she forgot all about the plan and attacked John.

This was the perfect moment for the boys to come out of the shadows and attack the vampires, a few heads rolled but mostly they were all surrounded. Now, the other vampires knew what she could do but they also knew that her brothers didn't, that fact alone was enough to give them confidence.

In all the confusion John was outside of the circle, she saw his thoughts he was about to waste a bullet on the leader, who had Sam by the neck. No way was she letting that happen. In a move that was quick enough to take the others off guard she pulled a machete out of thin air and sliced the leaders head clean off. She was still being held by him after all, and everyone was distracted. Dean and Sam assumed she was too weak to do anything, it was a stupid assumption. Everyone stood shocked for a second, the first ones to regain since were the hunters and they quickly cut down the rest of the vampires in the clearing. They would have let them go, but they kidnapped the little sister and they were not above revenge for that. Dean ran to her. She leaned on him, pretending to be weak and afraid.

"Jo, are you okay?" He was so concerned for her, it was sweet he was the best brother she had, no matter that Sam was easier to talk to. She smiled weakly.

"I will be." They got her back to the motel and she laid down for a full 3 hours pretending to regain strength. It was one of the most annoying things about feigning humanity.

Now they were going to confer on what to do next, they'd done a lot the planning without her, but she heard it in their heads while she "slept". John was going to let them tag along on his hunt for their mothers killer. Maybe it would be fun to do this together.
