Jack wanted to break Alex Moore's nose. No, she thought looking at his smarmy smile as he sat across form her at the local coffee shop, not just his nose, his arm too, and his jaw for good measure.
She'd waited on the steps outside that damned high school for her chance to catch the self proclaimed school stud. She'd watched him bat away pretty girls form his class, laughing raucously and high fiveing his buddies over some lewd joke he'd made at a passing sophomore girl's expense. Then when she couldn't stomach much more she sauntered up to him catching his lech radar instantly.
"Show me round?" She'd leaned in close to his ear to say in a low husky voice. He grinned and nodded, then he placed a possessive arm around her shoulders and directed her towards his shiny silver SUV. He waited till t hey were in the car to actually ask her name or what she was doing in his town. A fake moniker(Monique) and the excuse that her folks were thinking about buying a house in town and then they were off. He took special care to take her to the few secluded spots on the fringe of town, making it a point to say how the local cops never checked those places when they knew he and his friends were going to be there. Because, drum roll please, his step mother was on the city council.
Alex was more than happy to oblige when she asked where they could grab a bite to eat. He drove her to the local diner and she tuned out his stream of arrogance for the time being, finding it a pale imitation of Dean's cockiness and not nearly as charming.
"So how do you like our little town so far?" Alex asked flashing a full s et of pearly white teeth. Jack was pulled back to the present arrangement. She pasted on a smile and leaned forward in the booth towards him.
"Its a little small. But I think I could grow to like it." She said looking up through her eyelashes at him. His grin widened.
"I'm sure you could." He replied putting out a hand and twirling a lock of her hair around his finger.
"Only-" She let some doubt creep into her voice and pulled away slowly. Resisting the urge to break his finger for touching her.
"Only what?" Alex frowned at her looking irritated.
"Does anything exciting ever happen here?" She asked lowering her voice conspiratorially.
"Exciting how?" He asked inclining his head towards her.
"You know, not the usual kid stuff. Like dangerous things?" She asked giggling a little.
"You haven't been in town long have you?" He asked with a smirk, secure in his superiority.
"No. Why?" She cocked her to the side.
"We've all been put under a town curfew. Girls have been going missing." Alex said his eyes flashing excitedly.
"Missing?" Jack asked in fake shock.
"Yeah, disappeared into thin air." Alex said snapping his fingers in t he air to demonstrate.
"Do the cops know who's doing it?" Jack asked him.
"How would I know?" Alex snorted taking a sip form his coffee cup.
"I just figured," Jack said leaning back a little running the tip of her tongue over her top lip, "You'd know everything going on around here. Seeing as who your mom is and all."
"Step-mom." He corrected a little too quickly. "Maybe I do know something." He added recovering quickly.
"Such as?" Jack asked skeptically hoping he'd rise to the bait.
"I know the cops are looking at Tyler Banks." He said defensively.
"Who?" Jack asked pretending not to know who he was talking about.
"He's one of the girl's boyfriend. Total head case." Alex said gulping down the rest of his cup of coffee. He gestured to the waitress for another cup and Jack held back a groan, s he wanted to leave asap and this SOB was dragging this out.
"Did he do it?" She asked.
"Probably." Alex said laughing at something he wasn't sharing with her. "Probably got sick of waiting."
"Waiting for what?" Jack asked.
"Aly was part of that whole silver ring abstinence vow shit." Alex said rolling his eyes. He looked her over speculatively.
"Poor guy." Jack said smirking.
"Yeah." Alex replied grinning looking down her shirt, a feat considering it wasn't all that low cut.
"You know your legs aren't broken." A scornful said plopping down a cup of coffee in front of Alex. Jack looked up to see a petite girl with light brown hair scowling at Alex. Her name tag said Riley.
"Are yours?" Alex shot back glaring at the girl.
"No but I'm busy, the least you could do is walk to the counter to refill you own damn cup." The girl said with her hands on her hips and Jack wanted to congratulate Riley for being the only girl she'd seen so far that didn't swoon at the sight of Alex Moore.
"Poor baby." Alex pouted. Rile look from him to Jack.
"Do yourself a favor and avoid being another one of my brother's slut groupies." Riley warned her shooting Alex a dirty look before walking away. Alex's face went beat red, not from embarrassment from the way his fists clenched.
"Ooops." He said knocking the cup onto the floor. It broke into a hundred pieces, coffee spilling everywhere.
"I guess you just got a little more busy." Alex said snidely when Riley turned around to look at the mess. A group of boys from the school sitting a few tables down burst out laughing.
"That's coming out of you paycheck." A large woman walking out of the staff room told the girl when she saw the mess. She walked to the supply closet and handed a mop and a pan to Riley, who stood with her fists clenched at her sides.
"That was my fault. I'll pay for the cup." Jack drawled standing up. Alex shot her a surprised look.
"Can I get a separate check please?" She asked the older woman. Jack paid for her single cup of coffee that she barely touched and the cup Alex broke sidestepping him on her way to the front door. She glanced back at Riley, who was cleaning up the mess and recognized her as the young girl Alex had been laughing at back at the school with his buddies.
"Fucking people." She said under her breath pushing open the glass door.
"Monique!" Alex called jogging to catch with her as she walked along the sidewalk.
"Hey wait up." He said planting himself firmly in front of her.
"Gotta get back." She said curtly feeling no need to feign niceness with him anymore.
"Let me give you a ride. I was hoping we could go somewhere and talk some more." Alex insisted running his eyes over her giving her the distinct impression of what his version of "talking" was.
"No thanks." Jack said bored.
"Why?" He demanded.
"Cause I don't want to." She said letting the look in her eyes say the 'you' loud and clear.
Jack turned to walk away when he caught her arm and tried to snap her around to face him.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Dean said in a lazy tone coming up out of nowhere.
"She doesn't like being touched." He said standing next to Jack. He smirked looking the boy over. He sized him up and snorted, letting Alex know he was no threat. Alex held on for another second before letting go of her arm.
"Lets go, Sammy found something." Dean said dismissing Alex as though he wasn't there anymore.
Jack nodded and followed Dean back to the Chevy.
"I could've handled that." She said raising an eyebrow at him, a little annoyed he didn't think she could handle herself with some punk kid.
"I know and much as I would love to see you kick that kid's ass up and down the state line," He smirked. "The hunt's more important. You can hurt him when we're done."
"With pleasure." Jack said relishing the thought. "I found something out about Aly."
"What?" Dean asked.
"She was part of some abstinence pledge group thing. We should see if the other girls were too." Jack said hoping that they were and she hadn't just wasted an afternoon with a jerk for nothing.
"Good cause Sam found out more about the Schneewittchen. Looks like that'll be our guy." Dean said as he parked.
"Schneewittchen's aren't that old, only a few centuries," Sam told them. "The name is German, their spirits that take the youth and beauty of virgins and give it the human that summoned them."
"How?" Dean asked.
"By collecting the heart and liver for the summoner to eat. They make a deal, the human gets those organs and the Schneewittchen gets the rest." Sam explained.
"Damn." Jack shook her head, didn't these people ever hear of botox.
"Yeah, the worst part is that the victims become Schneewittchen afterward." Sam continued. "And its likely the girls taken are already dead.
"Is there a way to reverse it?" Dean asked.
"If we break the spell that summoned the original spirit the others will be free." Sam said hesitating.
"But?" Jack asked.
"Their violent bastards, and they don't like it when something stops them from eating." Sam said, "And once they get a taste of the blood of the intended victim they become like blood hounds, tracking them till them till they have them."
"And the mirrors?" Dean asked.
"It travels through mirrors, but its not confined to them. It can move through them to get the victim but it can move freely once through." Sam said.
"Early stories inspired the original Snow White stories, you know with the Queen eats her heart and all."
"I don't like the sound of that." Dean said.
"The human who summoned it chooses the victims right?" Jack asked.
"Yeah." Sam said.
"How do we find out who summoned the thing?" Dean asked.
"They make a blood bond with the spirits, marking themselves to solidify the agreement." Sam said consulting his computer for a second.
"Like self mutilation?" Jack asked.
"No more like a tattoo." Sam replied.
"Copycats." Jack smirked.
"It would be hidden on the body, somewhere easily accessible though, so the summoner could show it if need be to control the spirit." Sam said.
"Its probably a woman too right?" Dean asked looking over Sam at the computer screen. He turned away and stared at his brother when he couldn't read anything on the page.
"You read German dude?" Dean asked.
"Took a class in it as an elective." Sam shrugged.
"You're a geek, Little brother." Dean said smiling affectionately at Sam.
"Anyway, there is a spell to find out who's next on the menu." Sam said rolling his eyes at Dean.
"Lets do it, if I spend one more second with the locals I'm going to snap and hurt someone." Jack said.
"Didn't enjoy your date?" Sam asked in amusement.
"Hell. Fuck. No." Jack said looking at him like he was slow.
"She was about to kill the idiot before I saved his scrawny ass." Dean laughed.
"Hopefully we'll be gone before you do hurt someone." Sam said bringing up the page with the spell on it.
"Salt, grave yard dirt, why's it always grave yard dirt? and a lock of hair from a virgin's hair." Sam read the ingredients for the spell. He glanced at t he other two.
"Well the first two are easy to find…." Dean said glancing speculatively in Jack's direction, or more specifically her hair. She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Don't look at me I don't carry the V-chip." Jack said smirking at how both men looked away embarrassed.
"Think Tyler will help us out with this?" Dean asked with a cough changing the subject fast.
"You really think he's unicorn pure just cause his girl was?" Jack asked.
"These kinds of small town sweethearts stay together forever. Besides there's no harm in asking." Dean shrugged.
"I'll go over there myself, I don't think he'll want to see you again." Sam told Dean.
"What did you do?" Jack asked him.
"I took his blankie." Dean said pursing his lips in amusement.
"It was his hammer actually." Sam clarified.
"Might as well have been his blankie the way he was holding onto that thing." Dean pointed out.
"Nice Dean, and you wonder why people keep shooting at you." Sam said. Dean glared at his brother and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Only goes after virgin's huh? Guess your numbers up Sammy" Dean teased, earning a barely suppressed laugh from Jack.
"Go to hell." Sam said throwing his shoe at Dean, who dodged it easily. "You two just go get the graveyard dirt so we can do this thing." Sam threw a dirty look at them both.
"What did I do?" Jack demanded.
"You encourage him." Sam accused.
"Aw, if it had been the other thingy you know you would have been calling Dean a slut up and down Sammy, don't deny it." Jack said grinning wickedly.
"What!" Dean stopped laughing.
"At least that would have been true, though." Sam whined.
"You little-" Dean said throwing Sam's shoe back at him.
