Chapter 36 The new Jada

After getting Akina something to eat, and alot of it I might add, they drove all night to make it to Florence. They took turns driving and Akina drove only after she promised that she wasn't going to eat Dean's tapes. Jada was the last one to drive as they pulled into the motel they were going to be calling home while they were here. She looked over and saw that Sam was asleep in the passenger seat and that Dean and Akina were snuggled in the back. She smiled and went to check in. She had to walk halfway across the parking lot just to get to the main office. She got two rooms and was on her way back to the car when she heard someone crying. She listened carefully and followed the sound to the back of the motel. There she saw a young girl, huddled in the corner.

"Are you alright?" She carefully approached the crying girl. She looked up at Jada with fear in her eyes. "It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to know if you need some help." The girl wiped her tears and stood up. "You sure you're alright?"

"I'm fine, but there's something else." Jada looked at her and she seemed to be smiling. "You're the one in need of some help." Before she knew it, the bat already made contact with Jada's head, knocking her out cold. The girl smiled and took Jada underground in the sewer behind the motel. She made sure she was tied up tight before changing into her. The shifter/Jada smiled one more time before leaving.

"Guy's! Time to get up! We're at the motel." Jada/shifter knocked on the window of the impala to wake the others. Sam was the first up. He stretched and yawned.

"We're here already?" He asked as he got out of the car. Jada/shifter nodded and grabbed some of the bags.

"Wake the two love birds will ya?" Sam nodded and woke up Akina and Dean.

"What the hell Sam!?" Akina sat straight up in the back. "I was having the most kick ass dream about Johnny Depp and now I'll never..." She stopped and looked at Dean. "Hee hee. I love you!"

"Uh-huh." Dean turned to Sam. "Where's Jada?"

"Inside. She already checked us in. Let's go." The three got out and went to the room. Sam went to the one that he and Jada were sharing. After Dean and Akina got all settled, they met at Sam's. Sam already had out his laptop and was looking up anything on the shifter.

"Find anything yet?" Dean asked sitting down next to him. Akina plopped her ass next to Jada. She looked over at her.

"You alright over there? You look a little pale." Jada turned to her worried friend and smiled.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Akina smiled and nodded before turning back to Sam and Dean. "Well."

"I found this." He turned the screen so that the two girls could see. "It seems that so far there have been five attacks in that area. I think that's our best bet." Dean nodded and stood up.

"We'll go in a little. I wanna grab something to eat first." He went to the door and turned to Akina. "You want to come or stay here?" Akina smiled and hopped up.

"I'm comming with you love slave! You have the money that buys the food!" She patted Dean on the belly again and left the room.

"I hate it when she does that. You two want anything?" Jada shook her head no.

"I'll just take a burger and fries." Dean nodded and left the room. Sam looked over at Jada. "You're not really yourself today. Everything ok?"

"Everything's fine. I'm fine. You're fine Everything's all good so just back off!" Jada snapped at poor Sam. Sam looked at her wide eyes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that you're just real quiet today and that's not like you." Jada looked over at him.

"What? I'm not allowed a day to just be quiet?" Sam was a little worried. It wasn't like Jada to have little freak out's like this. "And stop looking at me like that!" Jada got up and was about to storm out, but Dean and Akina made that a little hard. Jada slammed right into Dean, knocking him over. "What the hell!? Watch where you're going next time will ya!!" Akina watched Jada's little outburst and then her leave the room.

"What was that about? You two have a little lovers quarel or something?" Dean asked as Akina helped him up. "Thanks."

"I'm going to go talk to her. Be back soon." She turned around and left. Dean sat across from Sam and passed him his fries and burger.

"Well?" Dean asked shoving a few of Sam's fries into his mouth. "Care to tell me what that was about."

"I don't know. I just asked if she was feeling alright and she flipped on me." Sam took one bite of his burger and then both boys heard the screaming outside. They ran out and saw the girls in an all out fist fight. Sam and Dean quickly broke it up by each holding onto one girl.

"What the hell id your problem today!? You're acting like a complete bitch!!" Akina screamed as she tried to wiggle free from Sam's hold. Dean was doing his best to hold onto Jada/shifter.

"My problem!? I'm fine! I want to know what the hell your problem is!! Everyone seems to think that because I'm a little quiet that there's something wrong!"

"I think that you both need to calm down and then attempt to talk about this like human beings." Dean said as he held onto Jada tighter.

"I'm calm. I just want to know what's up with her." Akina said as she pointed to Jada. Sam let her go. "This isn't like you Jada. I know you well enough to know that. You would never flip like this."

"People change."

"Not in the course of a few hours."

"Whatever. Let me go. I'm going for a walk." Dean let her go and she stormed off down the street. Both brother's looked at a shocked Akina.

"I don't know what's going on with her, but I do know that it's something." Akina said as she walked into the room, followed by Sam and Dean. She sat down at the table and started looking up stuff on the shifter. Not ten seconds went by before her head shot up. "You don't think that's the shifter, do you?" Dean looked from her to Sam.

"You think that the shapeshifter?" Akina nodded.

"That would explain it."

"Maybe, but if she is the shifter.." Dean started, but Sam finished.

"Where's the real Jada?"

With the REAL Jada in the sewer

Jada woke up in a pitch black room. She wanted so bad to rub her head where the bat hit her, but her hands were tightly tied. "This isn't good. How the hell did I fall for that one? Man, I'm so stupid." She sat there trying to free her hands when she heard something heading her way.

"So I see you're awake. Good to know." The shifter walked up to her and backhanded her.

"What the hell do you want with me?" Jada asked as she licked the blood off her split lip.

"Nothing from you. I want the Winchesters and I thought this would be a good way to get them. Go through you to get them. Not a bad plan if I do say so." Jada smiled and nodded.. "What's so funny?"

"If it's such a great plan, then where are they?" The shifter looked hard at her and kicked her in the ribs. "I don't think they're there."

"I thought your friend was the smart ass, not you. Don't worry though. I'll get them and then kill them all." The shifter smiled and left Jada alone again.

"This is just perfect." She said aloud. "Had to wait to wake them up. Damn it!"

Motel

"So the eyes are a way to tell." Dean asked as Akina paced the room. "Aren't I the one that's normally doing that?"

"I'm just worried. I mean if that thing took Jada, then where is she and is she alive?" Akina was scared. She had no idea where her friend was. She even tried to use her telepathy, but if this Jada was the shifter, it had all her memories too. "I sware, if that thing hurt her in any way, I'm going to kill it in the most painful way known to man."

"Easy tiger. Let's worry about proving that's the shifter and finding Jada." Dean tried to comfort her, but it wasn't working.

"I'm going to find her." She was about to leave when Jada came bursting through the door, scaring the crap out of Akina.

"The shifter...it's here and it...looks like me." She told them. She was beaten up and was breathing heavely. Akina was at her side. "It knocked me out and...turned into me."

"Where is it now?" Akina asked. She glanced over at Dean and then at Sam. "What are those looks for?"

"How do we know this is the real Jada?" Dean asked getting to his feet. Akina looked at him and smiled.

"Are you kidding? Look at her. Why would the shifter do this to itself?" Akina was becomming very defensive over Jada. Her friend was hurt and these two didn't even believe this was her. "You said that we can test it by the eyes. Do that then and prove that it's the shifter." Jada looked up at her friend. Akina was too focused on convincing the brother's that this was Jada, that she was caught offguard when she attacked.

"You know how good it makes me feel that you always have my back and believe in me so much." Jada said as she held Akina. She had a rather sharp knife to her throat. Dean and Sam both had guns loaded with silver bullet's aimed at her. "Oh please. Neither of you are going to shoot me. Not when I have her." She put some pressure on the knife and created a small cut on Akina neck.

"That hurt you bitch!" Jada laughed. "It's not funny!"

"Yes it is. You're all so funny."

"So if you are the shapeshifter, where's Jada?" Sam asked not lowering his gun. The look alone that Dean was giving her would have been enough to kill it. The shifter was right though. There was no way that either of them would shoot while she still had Akina.

"Like I'm just going to willingly tell you where she is or even if she's still alive."

"Oh she better be alive! For your sake!" Akina was still throwing around threats. Jada laughed and pushed the knife a little harder. "You know that if you keep doing that, I might bleed to death."

"I know that stupid!"

"So then what do you want? You just here because you think that Jada is hot or something!?" Jada laughed.

"Not exactly. What I want is you two." She said pointing at the two Winchesters. Akina scoffed and rolled her eyes. "What was that for?"

"You couldn't even come up with something origional. I want to kill them! Grrr! So scary. Every bad and evil thing want's them dead for pete's sake."

"You really can't keep your mouth shut can you?" Akina shook her head.

"I'll go with you then." All eyes on Sammy boy. "Just let her go and I'll go without a fight."

"Are you insane!? You can't trust this thing. How do you know that it woun't just kill you the minute it get's far enough away?" Dean screamed. "There is no way that you're going with her."

"It does seem like a fair trade." Jada smiled and whispered in Akina's ear. "This is going to be a fun night after all." She lifted her head and looked at the youngest Winchester. "Put the gun down then and get over here."

"Sam this isn't happening. You are not going with her." Dean blocked his brother's path. Sam placed the gun on the table and walked up to Dean.

"There's no other way Dean. I know that you'll kill this thing."

"Yeah Dean." Jada yelled making Dean turn to her. "Here! Catch!" She pushed Akina right into Dean's arms. He quickly dropped the gun so that he didn't shoot her on accident. Akina lost her footing and both her and Dean fell to the floor. Jada quicky grabbed Sam and before they knew it, both were gone. Dean got up and ran to the door, but there was no sign of them.

"DAMN IT! Now what?" Dean sat at the table and placed his head in his arms. "Now it has both Jada and Sam."

"We'll find them Dean. They'll be alright and you'll be able to kill that thing." Akina said as she sat next to him. He looked at hte cut on her neck.

"This doesn't look too bad." He wiped it off with a cloth and bandaged it up. "Now onto locating those two."
