Dear Journal,

I just found out my life is a lie. Funny how it doesn't take that long for the truth to unravel. And all it took was a little diary I found. It was in a box in the basement. I hate going down there. Its so damn creepy. As a kid, my brothers and I would always play rock- paper-scissor to see who was going to go down there. My little one always lost. It's always dark, dreary and just overall weird. Maybe it's just the lighting but everything used to give me the heebie-jeebies. I even thought once, when I was about ten, that our place was haunted. Up until yesterday, I thought that was a stupid thoughts of a scared girl. But now…after reading the diary, maybe it really was.

The box was labeled Lawrence. I figured, maybe it was the name of a relative I didn't know about so I went snooping. What I found was mementos of my Dad's past. Photos of him and my uncle as a little kid that I never seen before. There were even photos of my Grandpa. I never met him. Dad said he died a few years before I was born. I wish I could have known him There was even a photo of my Grandma. She was absolutely beautiful. Dad says sometimes, when I smile, I remind him of her. Most of the time though, I look like my Mom. Some people swear that we're twins when we're out.

At the bottom of the box was a book with a lock on it. I picked it, having acquired that ability from watching my Dad when he would forget the keys to the car or the house. Inside it was inscribed "The Diary of Mary Campbell." It was my Grandma's diary from when she was a teenager, before she got married to my Grandpa, John Winchester

I read it, thinking that it would be the basic ramblings of a seventeen year old girl; a girl the same age as me. I figured Cheerleading. Boys. School. But it caught me completely be surprise. The life of Mary Campbell was not normal. She was something else; something special. She knew of things that bumped in the night and wasn't scared. Her family fought against dark forces and creepy things; helping people. Saving them. She called herself a hunter. She was one as her parents were and there's before her. She came from a direct line of hunters dating back from centuries before.

I was surprised by this. I didn't want to mention anything to my Dad or Mom about my findings. They are so not the people to talk to about this. They are your average, run-of-the-mill people with regular jobs. I mean, I love them to death, and Dad is surprisingly cool…but they wouldn't know anything about hunting. They probably would think I was crazy!

So, I decided to confide in you, my new journal. I want to document my new life like my Grandma did before. I come from a line of family with a very important job. I have always thought I was meant for a greater purpose and now I know; it's in my blood to save people. I am a hunter.
