Chapter 20

"Don't! I'll break his neck, put the blade down," the man said who had Sam in chokehold.

Dean and I hesitated for a minute and the man tightened his grip around Sam's neck before we reluctantly placed our machetes on the road.

"You people why can't you just leave us alone, we have as much right to live as you do," the man said as he snapped Sam's neck.

"No!" I screamed and shot up in the backseat of the Impala.

I could feel the car swerve on the road and Dean look back at me in the rearview mirror.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked turning around in his seat clearly worried.

"Nightmare," I answered trying to shrug it off.

"About…" he pressed.

"Rats," I lied.

"The way you screamed I would have sworn Freddy Kruger was in the backseat with you," Dean laughed.

"Shut up," I replied smacking him in the back of the head as he pulled into the diner's parking lot when my phone started to ring.

Hush little baby don't say a word and never mind that noise you heard, it's just the beasts under your bed, in your closet in your head.

"Go in and get a table I'll be right in," I told my brothers before answering my phone, "Hello?"

"Hey lollipop, how's it going?"

"Dylan?" I asked surprised that he had called me and a little annoyed that he still called me lollipop, it wasn't my fault I had a sweet tooth and used to have one on me at all times.

"Yeah I need to rack that brain of yours."

"Shoot."

"What do you know about wraiths?"

"Umm…not much, I know they can appear human but if you see them in a mirror you can see their true form."

"Do you know how to kill them?"

"Silver through the heart but Dyl you need to be careful wraiths can alter the perceptions of anyone they touch, meaning they can make you hallucinate or make you emotionally unbalanced."

"Don't worry lollipop the only one I want touching me is you, thanks for the information, we need to hook up soon."

And with that he hung up. I walked into the diner to see Sam on his laptop and Dean flipping through the newspaper.

"Move," I said nudging Sam so he would scoot over in the booth and I could sit.

"So who was on the phone?" Dean asked not looking up from the paper.

"Dylan just needed some information," I shrugged, "Did you order yet?"

"Already ordered you the chocolate chip pancakes," Sam answered, "Even though you would think you would have out grown them by now."

"Dude it's candy for breakfast, how do you out grow that?" I questioned.

"Why did Porter call you?" Dean asked.

"For information like I said."

"You two hardly talk I didn't even think he had your number," Dean commented and I hid the smirk on my face. Dean had no idea what Dylan and I had done in the past and I for one was proud that I hid it so well.

"So did you guys find anything?" I asked as the waitress brought over our food.

They waited until she left before answering.

"There's not a decent lead in all of Nebraska," Dean said through a mouthful of French toast.

"Well, I've been scanning Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota… Here, a woman in Iowa fell 10,000 feet from an airplane and survived," Sam said still scrolling through his laptop.

"Sounds more like that's incredible then twilight zone," I said as I stuffed my face with my own breakfast.

"You know you two could eat healthy once in awhile or you know even take a breath in between bites," Sam said looking at the two of us with disgust.

"I breathe," Dean disputed.

"And a bran muffin isn't breakfast," I added pointing to the one in front of Sam, "You know we could head east…like upstate New York…to see Sarah…"

"She was smokin'," Dean whistled.

"Maybe someday but in the meantime we have a lot of work to do," Sam said.

"Sam someday you're going to be too old to have fun, so why not do it now?" I asked.

"Because like I just said we have work to do," Sam sighed.

"Whatever old man," I mumbled.

"Dean is older than I am," Sam argued.

"Yet you're the one eating a bran muffin for breakfast," I said patting him on the shoulder.

"Anyways…" Sam said before clicking onto the next page on the laptop, "Manning, Colorado a local man by the name of Daniel Elkins was found mauled in his home. Sounds like police don't know what to think first they said it was some sort of bear attack and now they found signs of robbery."

"Elkins, I know that name," Dean stated.

"Doesn't ring a bell," Sam said.

"Dad's journal, under the contacts there is a D. Elkins, phone number 970-555-0158," I recited from memory as I took my last bite of pancake.

"You think it's the same Elkins?" Sam asked as Dean pulled out dad's journal to double check.

"Well if I'm not mistaken 970 is a Colorado area code," I answered.

"Seriously we need to get you published in a hunter's encyclopedia or something," Dean remarked as he closed dad's journal.

SUPERNATURAL

I picked the lock of Elkins' front door as both brothers covered me just in case. I got the door open and Dean ventured into the house first.

"Stay with Sam," he instructed before walking into the other room.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and sigh.

"Looks like the maid didn't come today," Dean said from the other room.

"Hey there is salt over here right inside the door," I said kneeling down and touching it with my finger tips.

"You mean like protection against demon salt or 'oops I spilled the popcorn' salt?" Dean asked.

"Definitely protection," I answered.

"You think this Elkins guy was a player?" Sam asked as we walked into the room where Dean was.

"Definitely," Dean replied as he flipped through a journal very similar to my dad's, "This dates back to the sixties."

"Whatever attacked him it looks like there was more than one," Sam commented as we walked into the next room.

"Looks like he put up a hell of a fight too," Dean added as we looked around the room which was destroyed.

"Hey grab me a piece of paper and a pencil, would ya?" I asked as I noticed scratch marks in the floor.

"You got something?" Sam asked as he handed me a pencil and paper.

"Maybe," I answered as I put the paper on top of the marks and rubbed the pencil over top.

"Aww look how cute Sam she still knows how to color," Dean teased.

"Look familiar," I said handing the paper to Sam ignoring Dean's comment.

"Three letters six digits," Sam said looking at the paper.

"The location and combination of a post office box?" Dean asked.

"No just thought I would color," I smirked.

SUPERNATURAL

"J.W. you think…John Winchester?" Sam asked as we sat in the Impala outside of the post office.

The only thing that was in the post office box was a letter addressed to J.W.

"I don't know," Dean replied staring at the letter in his hands.

"Should we open it?" I questioned.

My answer was a knock on Dean's windows and I nearly jumped out of my skin until I realized it was my dad. He laughed and slid into the backseat with me.

"I didn't think you would be so jumpy," Dad laughed as he pulled me into a much need hug.

"What the hell are you doing here, are you alright?" Sam asked.

"Yeah I'm ok," Dad answered releasing me from his hold, "I read the news about Daniel and I got here as fast as I could. I saw you three up at his place."

"Why didn't you come in?" Sam questioned.

"You know why I had to make sure you weren't followed," Dad replied, "By anyone or anything."

"And were we?" I asked nastily.

"No you did a nice job covering your tracks," he answered giving me a look that was supposed to warn me if I continued with my attitude I would be in trouble.

"Well we learned from the best," Dean said.

"Wait you came all the way out here for this Elkins guy?" Sam asked what I was thinking.

"Yeah he was a good man, he taught me a hell of a lot about hunting," Dad answered.

"You never mentioned him to us," Sam said.

"We had a…we had kind of a falling out, I hadn't seen him in years," Dad said before pointing to the letter Dean still had in his hands, "I should look at that."

Dean handed the letter over and dad started reading it. I was getting questioning glances from both brothers as to why I had suddenly become so hostile as I sat as far as I could away from my dad with my arms crossed over my chest.

"That son of a bitch," Dad exclaimed.

"What is it?" Dean asked.

"He had it the whole time," Dad said shaking his head.

"Dad what?" Sam asked.

"When you searched the place did you see a gun…an antique…a Colt revolver…did you see it?"

"Why don't you go look for yourself," I muttered.

"There was an old case but it was empty," Dean answered quickly trying to cover up what I had just said.

"They have it," Dad said.

"You mean whatever killed Elkins?" Dean asked.

"We got to pick up the trail," Dad said getting out of the car.

"Wait you want us to come with you?" Sam asked shocked.

"If Elkins was telling the truth we've got to find this gun," Dad answered.

"Why?" Sam asked defiantly.

"Because it's important that's why," Dad replied.

"Dad we don't even know what these things are yet," Sam argued.

"They are what Daniel Elkins killed best…vampires," Dad stated.

"Vampires?" Dean questioned.

"What do they sparkle?" I scoffed.

"I thought there was no such thing," Dean said once again trying to cover up my attitude.

"You've never mentioned them," Sam protested.

"I thought they were extinct, I thought Elkins and the others wiped them out, I was wrong." Dad said before explaining to us what he knew about vampires. "Most vampire lore is crap; the cross won't repel them, the sunlight won't kill them and neither will a stake to the heart but the bloodlust that parts true. They need fresh human blood to survive; they were once people so you won't know it's a vampire until it's too late."

"Well this should be fun," I mumbled.

"You have something to say?" Dad asked me in his 'I mean business tone'.

"Nope," I said popping the 'p'.

SUPERNATURAL

"Unit 22 let me confirm. Mile marker 41, abandoned car. You need a workup? Copy that. Possible 207. Better get forensics out here." Dad and I heard over the police scanner in our motel room while Sam and Dean were asleep.

"Sam…Dean, let's go," Dad said waking them up by hitting the bottoms of their feet.

"What happened?" Sam asked sitting up in bed.

"A couple called 911, found a body in the street. Cops got there everyone was missing," I answered.

"It's the vampires," Dad added.

"How do you know?" Sam questioned.

"Just follow us, ok?" Dad replied as he led me to the door.

"Huh, vampires…gets funnier every time I hear it," Dean laughed.

SUPERNATURAL

"Stay here with your brothers," Dad told me before going over to talk to the cops on the scene.

"You sleep at all last night?" Dean asked as we waited by the Impala for dad to get back.

"A little," I shrugged.

"I don't see why we couldn't have gone over with him," Sam sulked.

"Oh don't tell me it's starting already," Dean sighed.

"What's starting?" Sam asked.

"You questioning everything dad says or does," Dean replied looking at Sam before turning to me, "And you turn into a robot…except for whatever your problem was last night that was new."

"A robot?" Sam questioned as I rolled my eyes.

"It's like she can't be less than perfect," Dean tried to whisper in Sam's ear, "Her not sleeping last night was just the first sign and I'm happy to be working with dad again but I'll be damned if she pushes herself so hard she winds up hurt again."

Was I beyond upset that my dad dropped everything for a hunter he had a falling out with and not his own kids, absolutely. But there was no way in hell I could pass up an opportunity to work with my dad again. I figured maybe if I showed him how much I know and how good I am at what we do maybe when this is over he will take me with him.

"What'd you find out?" I asked as I saw my dad walking back over.

"It was them alright," he replied, "Looks like they are heading west, we're going to have to double back to get around that detour."

"How can you be so sure?" Sam questioned.

"Sam…" Dean tried.

"I just want to know we are going in the right direction," Sam protested.

"We are," Dad nodded.

"How do you know?" Sam asked.

"Sam!" I tried this time but just like Dean I had no luck.

"I found this," Dad said handing something to Dean.

"It's a vampire fang," Dean told us as he looked it over.

"Not fangs, teeth…a second set descends when they attack," Dad explained before looking back at Sam, "Any more questions?"

When Sam didn't answer dad continued as he walked to his truck, "Alright let's get out of here we are losing daylight…hey Dean why don't you touch up your car before you get rust, I would have given it to your sister if I knew you were going to ruin it."

I followed dad climbing into the passenger seat but not before turning to Dean and blowing him a sarcastic kiss.

"Check the glove box before you put a hole in my floor," Dad smirked as he saw my leg shaking up in down.

"Sorry," I said as I opened the glove box to see a stash of gummy bears, skittles, lollipops and boxes of gum.

"So who is it this time?" Dad asked as we flew down the highway with the Impala following closely behind.

"Sam," I answered sticking a lollipop in my mouth.

"You two ever going to stop arguing?"

"Probably not," I replied as I turned up the radio and sang along with Johnny Cash's 'Ain't No Grave'.

When the song was over dad turned the radio down and looked over to me with a sad smile on his face.

"What?"

"You have your mother's voice," he answered softly.

"So what else is there to know about vampires?" I asked quickly changing the subject.

"Vampires nest in groups of eight to ten. Smaller packs are sent to hunt for food. Victims are taken to the nest where the pack keeps them alive, bleeding them for days or weeks."

"So that's probably what happened to the 911 couple," I commented as I played with my lollipop.

"Most likely," he nodded.

Meanwhile in the Impala…

"Sam we've been looking for dad all year and now that we're not with him for a couple of hours there is static already?" Dean asked as Sam drove the Impala.

"No, look I'm happy he's ok, alright? And I'm happy that we're all working together again…"

"Well good."

"It's just the way he treats us, like we're children. He barks orders at us Dean, he expects us to follow 'em without question. He keeps us on some crap, need to know deal," Sam exclaimed.

"He does what he does for a reason."

"What reason?"

"Our job! There's no time to argue, there's no margin for error, alright? That's just the way the old man runs things."

"Yeah well maybe that worked when we were kids but not anymore alright. Not after everything you, Leah and I have been through Dean. I mean, are you telling me you're cool with just falling into line, letting him run the whole show?"

"If that's what it takes."

"Yeah and apparently Leah had no problem falling right back in line," Sam scoffed, "You said it yourself Dean she is going to end up getting hurt trying to prove herself to that man."

"That man is our father and I never said she had to prove herself to anyone."

Leah's P.O.V.

"Call your brothers and tell them we are getting off at the next exit," Dad said breaking the silence as night fell.

"Yes sir," I said grabbing my cell phone and calling Dean.

"Yeah," Dean answered.

"Pull off at the next exit dad thinks we've got the vampire's trail."

"Alright, got it."

I hung up before anything else could be said. We fell back into silence when I noticed the Impala flying past the truck and Sam slam on the brakes causing the Impala to swerve sideways in the road. Dad slammed on his brakes as well just in time. Dad got out of the truck as Sam got out of the Impala. Dean and I quickly followed suit knowing a fight was about to break out.

"What the hell was that?" Dad asked.

"We need to talk," Sam replied nastily.

"About what?" Dad questioned.

"Here we go," Dean whispered to me.

"About everything, where are we going dad? What's the big deal about this gun?" Sam asked.

"Sammy come on we can Q and A after we kill all the vampires," I tried as Sam and Dad stood nose to nose.

"Your sister is right we don't have time for this," Dad stated.

"Last time we saw you, you said it was too dangerous to be together, now out of the blue you need our help, now obviously something big is going down and we want to know what!" Sam yelled.

"I was the one who told him to leave don't blame it on him," I said turning to Sam.

"You're right I should blame you for dad following the advice of his little sidekick," Sam sneered.

"Get back in the car," Dad instructed.

"No," Sam stated.

"I said get back in the damn car," Dad said sternly.

"Yeah and I said no," Sam challenged.

"Alright you made your point tough guy, look we're all tired we can talk about this later," Dean said grabbing Sam's jacket and pushing him back, "Sammy I mean it come on."

"This is why I left in the first place," Sam muttered under his breath.

"What'd you say?" Dad asked.

"You heard me," Sam said turning around to look at dad.

"Yeah you left; your brother, your sister and me we needed you. You walked away Sam, you walked away!" Dad hollered getting in his face.

"Stop it both of you!" Dean yelled.

"You're the one who said don't come back dad, you're the one who closed that door not me! You were just pissed off you couldn't control me anymore! You were just scared I was going to take your little sidekick with me!" Sam yelled.

"Stop it, stop it, stop it that's enough!" Dean yelled as we tried wedging ourselves in between them.

"That means you too," I said with my back against Dean facing my father.

"Ride with your brothers," Dad said before walking away to get back in the truck.

I got in the backseat and slammed the door glaring at the back of Sam's head.

"Since when the fuck am I a sidekick?" I asked barely containing my anger.

"Not now," Dean growled.

"Yes now, I want an answer. It seems to me that every time Sam is pissed off or possessed or whatever I find out more and more just how he really fucking feels about me so please enlighten me Sam since when am I a sidekick?" I yelled.

"You always have been! God forbid you had an original thought yourself!" Sam yelled back.

"Umm excuse me?" I asked furious.

"Dad's around and you do everything you are supposed to do like a good little solider until he isn't because then it's all about Dean! Don't think I don't see it how when dad isn't around you cling to Dean like some damn security blanket. And let's not forget how you can't seem to make up your mind, you wanted to find dad more than anything yet you were the one to send him away!"

"ENOUGH!" Dean bellowed.

SUPERNATURAL

"Son of a bitch, so they really aren't afraid of the sun," Dean commented as we hid in some brush near where the vampires were held up.

"And they really don't sparkle," I added softly.

"Direct sunlight hurts like a nasty sunburn, the only way to kill them is by beheading," Dad explained, "And yeah they sleep during the day but it doesn't mean they won't wake up."

"So I guess walking right in isn't our best option," I brought up.

"Actually that's the plan," Dad corrected me.

We made our way back to where we parked the Impala and dad's truck to get our weapons.

"So…" Dad started, "You three really want to know about this Colt?"

"Yes sir," Sam answered.

"It's just a story, a legend really well I thought it was…never really believed it until I read Daniel's letter. Back in 1835, when Halley's Comet was overhead, the same night those men died at the Alamo. They say Samuel Colt made a gun, a special gun; he made it for a hunter, a man like us only on horseback. Story goes he made thirteen bullets, and this hunter used the gun half a dozen times before he disappeared, the gun along with him. And somehow Daniel got his hands on it.They say...they say this gun can kill anything."

"Kill anything like supernatural anything?" Dean asked.

"Like the demon," I realized.

"Yeah the demon, ever since I picked up its trail I've been looking for a way to destroy that thing. Find the gun…we may have it," Dad replied.

"So let's go get it," I smirked grabbing my machete out of the trunk.

"Leah and I will go in the back and get the gun. Sam and Dean you will go in the front and get out as many people as you can. Meet back here at the cars, understood?"

"Yes sir," we answered.

I kept right behind dad as we crept through the back door. We quietly made our way down the hallway and stopped when we came to a room where a man and woman were sleeping together. I was about to move onto the next room when my dad stopped me and motioned towards the gun that hung by the bed. He nodded as I tiptoed by the bed so I could grab the gun. The couple rolled over in their sleep and I froze until I knew I hadn't woken them up. That's when I noticed the man looked familiar from somewhere. I was about three feet away from the gun when I heard a woman screaming from the other room.

Can't they do anything right, I thought as I prayed the couple wouldn't wake up but it was too late and the guy threw me into the wall giving me a small cut above my eyebrow. Dad picked up something off the floor and broke the window allowing the sunlight to come in. We took that moment of distraction to get the hell out of there.

"Boys run!" Dad yelled as he helped me up and we ran out the backdoor.

I ran all the way back to the cars and almost right into Dean as I came into the clearing.

"Where's dad?" Sam asked looking over my shoulder.

"Right behind me," I answered.

"What happened?" Dean asked when he noticed the cut above my eyebrow.

"You tell me," I replied, "I almost had the fucking gun and whatever the hell you two did woke up a very pissed off vampire."

Dad finally made his way into the clearing and we started to get into the cars.

"They won't follow they will wait until tonight once a vampire gets your scent it's for life," Dad said stopping us.

"Great job idiots," I scoffed.

"What the hell do we do now?" Dean asked.

"You've got to find the nearest funeral home that's what," Dad answered.

"I'll go," I offered.

"No Dean will go, you are coming back to the motel room with Sam and me to get some sleep," Dad instructed.

SUPERNATURAL

I laid on one of the beds in the motel room with my back to Sam and my dad. As much as I needed to I just couldn't fall asleep but if I didn't at least look like I was sleeping dad would make me stay back and not let me help later.

"It shouldn't be taking this long, I should go help," Sam said as he paced the room.

"Dean's got it and keep your voice down," Dad whispered loudly he paused for a moment probably checking to see if they had woken me before he continued, "Sammy I don't think I ever told you this but the day you were born, you know what I did?"

"No."

"I put a hundred bucks into a savings account for you, I did the same thing when Dean and Leah were born, it was a college fund and every month I put in another hundred dollars until…anyways my point is this is never the life I wanted for you."

For the first time in my life I thought about what it would have been like if I went with Sam to college. I've always loved hunting or so I thought maybe I was just doing it because I knew it's what my dad wanted me to do but I guess I was wrong.

"Then why'd you get so mad when I left?" Sam whispered back.

"You've got to understand something after your mother passed all I saw was evil…everywhere…and all I cared about was keeping you three alive. I wanted you prepared…ready except somewhere along the line I uhh…I stopped being your father and I…I became your drill sergeant. So when you said that you wanted to go away to school, all I could think about, my only thought was, that you were going to be alone, vulnerable. It didn't matter if your sister went with you or not, I needed both of you with Dean and myself so I knew you two would be safe. Sammy it's just…it never occurred to me what you wanted. I just couldn't accept the fact that you and me we're just different."

"We're not different, not anymore. With what happened to Mom and Jess…well we probably have a lot more in common than just about anyone."

"I guess you're right son."

"Hey Dad…whatever happened to that college fund?"

"Spent it on ammo."

I could hear them both laughing.

"It's about time you guys got that over with," I said not turning around.

"You were supposed to be sleeping," Sam sighed.

"Just leaves you two," Dad said.

"Oh no," Sam said at the same time I said, "Hell no."

Dad laughed and shook his head at us when Dean came into the room.

"Phew, man some heavy security to protect a bunch of dead guys," Dean commented.

"Hey I offered to go," I said.

"I take it you didn't sleep," Dean said raising an eyebrow at me.

"Did you get it?" I asked ignoring his question; he already knew the answer so why should I have to say it out loud.

Dean pulled a jar out of his pocket and handed it to dad.

"You know what to do," Dad smiled.

SUPERNATURAL

"Car trouble? Let me give you a lift…take you back to my place," the woman vampire who I had seen earlier said to Dean as he was pretending to be broken down on the side of the road.

"I'll pass I usually draw the line at necrophilia," I could see Dean smirk from where we were hidden in the trees.

"Ooo," she smiled before hitting Dean across the face and lifting him up by the chin with one hand as another male vampire watched closely.

"I don't normally get this friendly until the second date but…" Dean said through clenched teeth.

"Now?" I whispered to dad and was told to wait. Orders or not she did anything else I wasn't waiting for the 'go ahead' that was my brother she was messing with.

"You know we could have some fun, I always like to make new friends," she said as she lowered Dean back onto the pavement before kissing him.

"Sorry, I don't usually stay with a chick that long…definitely not eternity," Dean said as Sam shot his crossbow into the male's chest.

I aimed and did the same thing hitting the woman square in the chest.

"See Sammy bow hunting is an important skill, a soccer ball wouldn't have helped out," I smiled as I got out from the brush and walked over to Dean and the vampires.

"Damn it," she exclaimed, "It barely even stings."

"Give it time sweetheart that arrow is soaked in dead man's blood, that's like poison to you isn't it?" Dad said.

She blinked a few times and then collapsed into Dean's arms.

"Load her up," Dad instructed before turning to the male vampire, "I'll take care of him."

Dean and Sam got the woman into the truck but I stayed with my dad.

"No I've got it," I said raising my machete and chopping off the man's head.

"Ok then," Dad said looking at me with shock.

SUPERNATURAL

"Toss this on the fire," Dad instructed Dean handing him a small black bag, "Saffron, skunk's cabbage and trillium, it'll block our scent and hers, until we're ready."

"This stuff stinks," Dean coughed as he threw it on the fire.

"Well that's the idea, dust your clothes with the ashes and you will stand a chance of not being detected," Dad stated.

"You sure they will come after her?" Sam asked.

"Yeah vampires mate for life, she means more to the leader than the gun but the blood sickness is going to wear off soon so you don't have a lot of time," Dad answered as I dusted my clothes with the ashes.

"Guess it was a good thing I wore your shirt today," I whispered to Dean.

"Of course you did," he mumbled clearly annoyed.

"Get those people out of the nest then I want you out of the area as fast as you can," Dad instructed.

"Dad you can't take care of them all yourself," Dean argued.

"I'll have her…and the colt," Dad stated.

"But after we're going to meet up, right? Use the gun together, Right?" Sam asked but dad didn't answer.

"You're leaving again aren't you," I said softly.

"You still want to go after the demon alone. You know, I don't get you. You can't treat us like this." Sam protested.

"Like what?" Dad questioned.

"Like children," Sam replied.

"You are my children; I'm trying to keep you safe."

"Dad, all due respect but, that's a bunch of crap," I stated earning shocked looks from everyone.

"Excuse me?" Dad asked.

"You know what Sam, Dean and I have been hunting, hell you sent us on a few hunting trips yourself. You drop everything when you hear this Elkins guy died but I called you several times when Dean was dying and you couldn't even be bothered to pick up a damn phone and call me back! So do NOT stand here and say you are worried about keeping us safe!"

"It's not the same thing Leah," Dad sighed.

"Then what is it? Why do you want us out of the big fight?" I asked.

"This demon, it's a bad son of a bitch. I can't make the same moves if I'm worried about keeping you alive."

"You mean you can't be as reckless," Dean commented.

"Look I don't expect to make it out of this fight in one piece, your mother's death, it almost killed me. I can't watch my children die too, I won't."

"What happens if you die? Dad what happens if you die and we could have done something about it? This demon already took mom away from me and I won't have it take you away too. You know I been thinking maybe Sammy's right about this one. We should do this together, we're stronger as a family Dad, we just are, you know it!" I exclaimed trying to hold my tears in.

"We're running out of time, you do your job and you get out of the area. That's an order," Dad instructed before walking away.

SUPERNATURAL

"So this is where the party is," I said loudly as I walked through the front door of the barn the vampires were held up in.

One of them came towards me and was an arms length away when he was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around to see Dean standing there with his machete in his hand.

"Boo," Dean said before cutting his head off.

"Told you I would be a good distraction," I commented as Sam started to pry open the cage to free the victims.

"That was a little to close for comfort," Dean said as we went to help Sam.

"Hurry up and get them out so we can go help dad."

"But he gave us a direct order," Sam said looking between Dean and myself.

"I don't care," I stated.

"Well I can't let you two go by yourselves so I'm in," Dean smirked.

After getting the victims out of the cage and calling 911 so they would be found we ran into the woods towards the highway to find dad. We got there just in time to see the man who threw me into the wall, hit dad so hard causing him to fly back into the driver's side door and breaking the window before falling unconscious. I aimed the crossbow and shot one of the vampires square in the chest. Sam and Dean ran out from behind the trees and towards the group with their machetes raised. I stopped for a second to reload and hit another vampire in the chest. Once I realized I was all out of arrows I slid my machete out of its holder and went to help my brothers when I noticed one of them had Sam in a chokehold. I froze this wasn't happening, this was my dream, if we didn't do something I was going to watch Sam die.

"Don't! I'll break his neck, put the blade down," the man said.

Dean and I hesitated for a minute and the man tightened his grip around Sam's neck. Hearing Sam gasp for air we reluctantly placed our machetes on the road.

"You people why can't you just leave us alone, we have as much right to live as you do," the man said.

"No!" I screamed remembering from my dream that this was the second before Sam died.

"I don't think so," I heard my dad say before firing the Colt hitting the man right between the eyes.

He let go of Sam and I jumped into Sam's arms and clung to him like a Koala bear. I was relieved that he was alright, relieved that it was just some random act of déjà vu and that I wasn't having premonitions like Sam. Dean pushed us behind him in a protective manner as we watched a brief flash of light reflect the vampire's skeleton before he fell to his knees. Another flash of light passed through him and he slumped to the ground, dead.

SUPERNATURAL

We were back in the motel room the next morning packing up when dad walked in the room.

"You ignored a direct order back there," Dad said leaning against a beam in the room.

"Yes sir," Sam replied.

"Yeah and we saved your ass," I stated earning more shocked looks from my brothers.

"You're right," Dad nodded.

"I am?" I asked in disbelief that I wasn't getting screamed at right now for talking back or disregarding an order.

"It scares the hell out of me, you three are all I've got but I guess we are stronger as a family. So we go after this damn thing…together."

"Yes sir," the three of us answered simultaneously.

And the journey really just begun.
