The reasonably sized apartment was filled with the sound of piano and vocals as Vanesse played on. The faint sound of a doorbell came through all the music. "Nesse stop playing, they're here." Holly yelled, and then ran to the door; taking a deep breath she opened it. "Hi."

Sam smiled, "Hey… Are you okay?" He asked; she seemed rather nervous.

"Yeah, fine…" She opened the doorway for the two boys to enter.

Vanesse appeared beside the three. "Hello."

Dean opened his mouth to say something when Sam beat him to it, "Let's get to business… We found a list of missing people dating back to about five years ago. We were hoping you guys could tell us if they were in any certain phenomenon."

"Okay." Vanesse quickly agreed. Holly stood silently.

"Alright. Kara Wilkinson?" Dean took over.

"I went to high school with her, she was a pain in the ass." Vanesse answered as Holly slowly slipped away into her own room.

Dean read off the list, "Garrett Jerome?" Sam eyed the leaving girl, soon following her.

Vanesse scratched her head, deep within thought. "I think he was Holly's first boyfriend."

As the two conversed with questions and answers, Sam silently shut the door to Holly's room behind him. Holly was sitting on the side of her bed with her head bowed slightly and her hands clasped to her mouth. "Hey, mind if I hide out here? I don't really want to be there if they start making-out on the kitchen counter or something…"

Holly let out a small, uneven laugh, "Well, you're safe in here." She sniffled.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked as he sat down beside her.

"Nothing."

He pushed her hair out of her face then held her chin, "Something's wrong." Her face was streaked with tears; it was rather adorable in Sam's eyes.

"You're my friend, right?" Holly wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

"Yes."

"Would you do something for me?" She asked.

"What is it?" He replied.

"Don't go to the carnival… Please." She leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Why not?"

"I wish-" She broke off into tears, "I wish I could tell you."

Sam took her chin again, so they were looking directly in each other's eyes, "You can tell me anything." They stood for a moment or two gazing into their eyes, until they collapsed into a kiss. As it got deeper Sam pulled away, eyes widened, "Your… Your teeth, they're pointed. Oh my gosh, you're a vampire!"

Holly clasped her mouth, "No… No, I'm not."

"Then… Why?"

"I'm half vampire… Only blood-thirsty at full moons." She stood to look out a near-by window at the darkening sky. "Right now, I'm transforming…" Holly looked at Sam and found him panicked, "Don't worry… It takes a few hours…"

Sam rose and walked right next to her, "I didn't know that was possible."

"It probably wouldn't be. Except for an old family legend, on my vampiress side." Holly lingered for a moment as she placed her head gently on the windowsill.

"You wanna tell me about it?" He put his hand on her shoulder, hoping to comfort her.

"Not really." She turned to Sam and rested her head on his chest.

"Okay." Sam honored her requests, "But Dean and I, we can help with this. Whenever you're ready."

She shook her head, "No. Please don't tell him… Just keep it between us."

"Why can't they know?" He asked.

"Because, I can't control myself once I'm a vampire. If people knew, they'd run away… I don't want that. I just want to be normal."

"I know the feeling. Well, I don't know that exact feeling, but I know the feeling." Sam spoke, as they stood embraced.
