"What?" She lowered the shot-gun just slightly, if it went off now it might blow a hole in her leg instead of her head. She counted that as progress.
"Let me spell it out for you. Samuel Campbell and James Campbell grew up in the life, they were a hunting team, unstoppable. That is until Samuel met another hunter named Diana and they had little baby Mary. James was scornful he hated this new Samuel, thought he was soft and all but disowned him. Then about 22 years ago he had a little fling with a waitress who didn't work that far from here, and accidentally had little baby Allison. Now i'm sure you knew some of that, but thats where I come in. Mary settled down too and had 2 baby boys, one of them is my father, so yeah I think cousins covers it."
As she recounted all of this to her shocked cousin, she thought of how strange it would be if someone claiming to be her cousin suddenly appeared in her house. Under the circumstances Allison's thoughts were relatively calm, this was intriguing so she dove deeper into the elder girls mind. At just a glance she knew a lot but when going deeper she found out just how traumatize her childhood was. At 6 months her mother burned to death on the ceiling, at 5 her father abandoned her at a police station thousands of miles from her home. At ten she found a real home to live in with people who loved her. At 13 those people were slaughtered in their beds by a monster that she hunted. At fifteen her father rescued her from a mental institution and they hunted together until she 18 when she chose a degree in phycology over the hunting life. At 21 her career tanked and she found her father dead. Months later she found out about her gift and got a job as a psychiatrist, unsurprisingly she was very good at it. Now at 22 a strange girl appears in her house claiming to be her cousin and obviously wants something, she had a right to be suspicious.
"Um okay I believe you but why are you here? What do you want from me?" Now she dropped the shot gun and settled in on the couch, Jo chose to stay standing and leaning against a reclining chair.
"Its not what I want from you Allison, its what I can do for you. I know you found out about your gift but do you know how you got it?" The answer was no but Jo figured she should at least ask, teleportation was bad enough mind reading would wreck the poor girl.
"No. I don't want to know, this.. gift, it helped me. I was no one, nothing before this happened and now i'm respected I have a real career and thats all i've ever wanted so you can just leave if thats what your here for." She was so quick to see the evil in everyone, and try to force them away. The fact that she was family didn't mean a thing, she'd been screwed over by family in the past.
"Okay I won't tell you but you should know this power, it isn't actually a gift, there is a demon that is going to come looking for you. I don't know when but soon, and if you still have that power you are going to die." Jo knew very little of the demons plan but the next logical step to get the best one, is to pit them against each other and Allison may have some things going for her but she was not strong enough to take on the rest of the phycics. This would be the end of her, because Jo was going to make sure Sammy came out of it alive, if that meant the rest of them had to die? Well she'd cross that bridge when she got to it.
"I don't see how this is such a bad thing, so what if I can see peoples emotions? All it does is help me, it gave me a new purpose. Why would I want that to go away?" Jo knew it would be hard to convince her so she wasn't going to try.
"Okay I understand that but as your family I want to give you a choice. If you take this it will cure you, make your blood pure this infection will go away and the demon won't come for you." She pulled out a vial of her blood, if it can cure vampires it sure as hell can cure demon blood. Allison took it but looked doubtful.
"How is this going to cure me?" At least she was thinking about it as a bad thing now, that was progress.
"It just will, you don't want to know what it is but its cured vampires so it can definitely cure what that demon did to you. But like I said you have a choice, you can take it and go on with you life, or you could throw it away and live the next couple of months, a year at most, normally." This was a hard sales pitch but it seemed to be working. Giving her a choice seemed like the thing to do, after all she was family and the last thing she needed was to be dragged back into this.
"And your just going to give it to me?" The way Allison was thinking no one got anything for free if there was a price she wanted to know what it was before she even thought about curing herself.
"Well there is one catch, you can't contact me or my family. Even if they come here you have to tell them you don't know me or them, Can you do that?" Jo figured Sam and Dean had enough on their plate without having to add this girl to the list of weak people in need of saving. Besides this was the best for Allison to, she didn't want anything in her life to change and didn't trust new people.
"Deal. When do I have to decide?" It wasn't a hard deal to make but this choice was a difficult one. On one hand she could continue her line of work and have the added advantages seeing peoples emotions gave her, on the other she might get abducted by demons if she did. It would sound like a no brainer to anyone else. This is the first time in her life that anything was going her way, was not wanting it to end a crime?
"I don't know, your best bet would be soon, but i'll leave that up to. Now I have to go, other people to see and all that." It was as good of a goodbye as she could manage, and after waving and saying this she disappeared.
On to the next sorry sap that needed to know this stuff. It was all of their best bets if they knew as much as possible. The conversions mostly went like this-
"Hello no time to explain why I suddenly appeared in front of you just needed to let you know a few thing, like demons exist and you are infected by the blood of one of them."
"What? How did you get into my house? Demons? Are you insane?"
"Yes demons, you didn't know that but what you probably know is that you are able to do special things like lift cars with one hand and communicate telepathically, I don't know the details this is more of a milk run than an extensive conversation."
"Yeah I realized I could do special things."
"Great thats half the job, the next thing is that you will probably be abducted in the next year, by a demon with yellow-eyes, if this thing approches you don't be bought in. If you start using your gift to hurt people i'l come back and turn you into dust. Got it?"
"No I have so many.." At that point she would disappear and leave them to mull over her world changing news on their own. Holli's debriefing was even less time consuming.
"Hi you are infected by demon blood, its why you can do the things you can, that demon is going to come back to get you to kill, or abduct you if you kill then I will come back and kill you. Got it? Okay bye." Then she would disappear not giving the poor son of a bitch a second to obsorb her message or to ask questions. It only took them about a day to get through everyone then they lay in their meadow looking at the stars and conversing.
