CHAPTER TEN

Sam was driving again, Alana was unfamiliar with this area and so Sam took it upon himself to show her Tavern Cliffs, a rugged National Park hangout for the local teens. But on a day like this, it was a dangerous place.

"Now I see why you kids like this place. It's ugly."

Sam grinned, "Well Dean and I didn't get a chance to hang out here, and we were far gone by then."

"Boo-Hoo." Alana said, laughing.

Sam shook his head, Alana's sense-of-humor slowly dissipating. The vampire side of her was truly revealing itself and it scared Sam.

"What's wrong Sammy?"

"Nothing sis, just a bit scared is all."

She raised an eyebrow, "Please don't tell me you're a wuss now on me."

"No. Tavern Cliffs is just some place I wanted to forget."

"And?"

"I brought Jess here once when she was alive, she nearly got killed."

Alana sat up in her seat and looked to her brother, "Shit, that had to suck." Was her comment.

"Yeah, well we promised never to come back and guess what, I lied."

Alana grinned, "Well brother dearest, lying is what we Winchesters do best. Suck it up already."

Sam shook his head, the rest of the ride was silent. Sam was beginning to think his sister had lost her heart for good. But as he came to a stop an hour later, he knew that danger lurked in the shadows. His father parked beside them and the four of them climbed from their vehicles. It was well into dusk and the shadows more profuse then ever before.

"Ready kids?" John asked and was answered by a snort from Alana. "Let's go."

Alana was the first one out, she was tired of taking orders, she was going to do her own thing and damn be all to the others. But as she came to the entrance of the cliffs, something stopped her. She turned, Sam had grabbed her arm.

"Wait for us little sis, I don't want you getting hurt."

She shrugged, "Whatever floats your boat man."

Sam just stood there waiting for his brother and father to catch up. But as they did, a low rumble was heard and Alana hissed in anger. Out of the darkness came two people that needed to die. Meg. Leslie.

"Damn." Dean muttered, as he pulled the Colt pistol from his pocket.

Meg rose an eyebrow, the family was strong. How was she going to get to Sam with little Miss Prissy in front of him.

"Well hello Sam, I see you brought your dysfunctional family with you. Too bad they are going to lose you."

Alana growled and launched at Leslie, pinning her down. "Kill that bitch already will you Dean!"

Dean pointed the gun at Meg, but she was quick and moved to behind Sam. Alana was furious and tore her Aunt's throat out, then taking her heart as well. She jumped to her feet and knocked Meg to the ground, holding her down.

"You are going to die Meg, and I will do it. Your hurt my brother way too much and I'll be damned to let you try again."

Meg tried to pry the vampire girl off of her, but she was way too strong. The demon she worked for was god knows where. "Get off me Alana."

Alana plunged her hand into her heart and took hold of it, tearing it from the pitiful human body. She howled in greed as the blood ran down her hands. She looked to her father and brothers, they looking at her in horror.

"Alana?" Sam said, looking scared.

"Oh come on Sam, you can feel it too, we aren't human anymore."

Sam stepped back; Dean placed his hand on his shoulder. Alana was gone, now on evil's side.

Meg and Leslie's bodies dispersed into ash, Alana looked bewildered for a moment. She looked up to Sam again, this time her blue eyes reflecting back. "What the hell?" she said and stood, gaping at her bloody hand, "Sam?" she said.

"Are you alright Alana?"

"What the hell just happened?"

"You were a vampire."

She scoffed, "Well duh, Mr. Genius I knew that."

"No Alana, fully a vampire. You killed Leslie and Meg with your own hands."

She raised an eyebrow, "Leslie was the demon then, otherwise I still be that creature."

Majestic arose from the mist, a smile on her face. "You destroyed the evils that have tried to kill our family." She said, "Now we can all live in peace."

Alana got to her feet, Sam had turned back to his normal self, Alana was near there and Majestic looked human…but how?

"Leslie's curse on our family is now gone, we are human once more. Thanks to you Alana we are free."

Sam smiled for the first time for real in days. "What are we going to do now?"

John laughed, "Go on a REAL hunting trip, this time as a family."

Majestic smiled, "You and the boys?"

"No Maj, you and Alana and me and the boys, we're a family now and that's how it's going to be."

Alana ran into Sam's arms and hugged him, whispering, "Maybe they'll get married and I won't have to go away this time."

He nodded, "That would make it for real wouldn't it?"
