Look what I found! *holds up muse* Now I'm going to lock it up so it can't run away again. So basically, here's another short little chapter that I'm going to leave you with until tomorrow. And there will be posts tomorrow, becasue I have no school. Nope! They already announced it! So that will be fun. And I apologize in advance. You'll see why.

The Story of Avi

"Thanks Sam," I said as he finished changing the bandage on my shoulder. He shrugged.

"I'll let you get changed," he replied, and left the bathroom, closing the door behind him. I sighed as I looked in the mirror. My skin looked deathly pale, and I had dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep. Even my gray eyes that were always full of energy started back at me dimly. At least my hair was longer again. I ran a hand through it before getting ready for bed. I remembered when I used to be afraid for mirrors. But for now, I was safe.

I yawned and was about to walk back into the bedroom when a flash of movement caught my eye. I peered out of the window for a few minutes, but the world was still.

"I'm so tired I'm seeing things," I said to myself. I shook my head, and crawled into the bed I was sharing with Sam. Dean was already asleep.

"Night Avi," Sam mumbled.

"Night Sam," I replied, and quickly fell asleep.

My rest was short lived however, when someone pushed me hard, almost sending me tumbling out of the bed. I shook away the remnants of sleep, and my hand found the knife Sam had hidden under his pillow.

"Relax!" Mom hissed, "You're not being attacked!" My eyes were beginning to adjust to the darkness, and I saw that she was right. It was just Sam having a nightmare.

"No," he whimpered, his massive body twisting and turning to get away from something only he could see.

"It's okay Sammy," I hushed quietly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, "You're safe."

"Don't," he pleaded. I sighed, and tried to think of something that would help him. But my experience with nightmares was fairly limited, and the ones I did have, Cas never really did anything for them.

"Sam?" Dean asked groggily. His little brother had woken him up, and almost automatically he switched into 'Awesome Big Brother' mode.

"He's having a nightmare," I told him. Dean nodded, and got out his bed to join us.

"Hey, Sammy," Dean whispered soothingly, "It's all okay. We're safe here." Slowly but surely, Sam's breathing began to even out, and he was sleeping peacefully. I just stared at him for a few beats. Sam looked so peaceful when he was asleep, childlike.

"Goodnight Dean," I whispered.

"Night," he replied with a small smile, "Go back to sleep, we're leaving in three hours." I nodded and began to settle back into bed. I was about to close my eyes when something fluttered on the edge of my peripheral vision. Slowly, I sat back up, careful not to wake Sam or Dean who was already snoring softly.

"Window," Mom stated, and my gaze snapped to where she had indicated. Sure enough, something was out there. It stood just out of sight, but it was definitely there. Now, when you know that there are supernatural creatures around, and that there is an Apocalypse going on, and you're an escaped slave wouldn't you go to check it out?

I crept over to the door, and outside, careful not to disturb any of the protections Dean had put up. The cold hit me like a wave, the wind biting. Within seconds I was shivering. Guess the weather guy wasn't joking when he said it would reach ten degrees out here.

"For a minutes there, I didn't think you would come out," a familiar voice told me. I turned to the unwelcome voice, internally cursing myself for not bringing a weapon out with me.

"It's been a while," I greeted the newcomer annoyed. "So what do you want?"

Yes, I know. Evil cliffhanger! Feel free to yell at me if you need to. I probably deserve it!

On a side note: A huge thank you to everyone who has alerted, favorited, reviewed, or even just plain read it! Yes, even you non account people who just like reading fics, but can't do anything to show it. And even a thank you to eveyone who has read it this far, and will never read another word ever again! THANKS!

Until next time, keep reading, writing, and loving Supernatural!
