Chapter 10

There will most certainly not be blood

Victoria closed her eyes and put her head against the steering wheel. She had to focus. Sam could sense that and got out of the car to meet Dean and Cas.

"What's going on?"

"I think she may have heard something. We should probably give her a minute to figure it out."

Dean had a cocky grin as he leaned against his baby to more comfortably talk to Sam. "So, did you bond?"

Sam put his hands on his side. "You know, she's really not that bad. Just takes some getting used to." Sam put one of his hands on Cas' shoulder. "We've done that before."

Cas looked confused but was unable to ask any questions because Victoria was heading their way.

"As luck would have it, there's a vampire close by. About a mile up the road, in a small abandoned house. He has a girl there. I think we can make it in time to spare her life."

Dean was aghast with the ease with which she said that, and the fact she wasn't moving.

"Let's go. We'll follow you."

Victoria nodded and they got back in their cars.

She turned to Sam. "You may want to use your seatbelt."

As soon as she heard the 'click' Victoria squealed the tires of the Mustang as she got back on the road. She redlined each time before switching to the next gear. Sam held onto the dash with one hand and kept looking at her. He was impressed and scared at the same time.

She downshifted to third harshly as they got on the dirt road leading to the house. Dust was flying everywhere. Sam was worried Dean wouldn't be able to see. They stopped abruptly in front of what looked to be a shack. Victoria ripped the handbrake up and turned the car off. She pocketed the keys and rushed out of the car.

Sam followed her instinctively. He drew his gun to cover her. Dean and Cas were close behind. Dean took enough time to pull a blade from the trunk. He also grabbed a hypodermic needle full of dead man's blood.

Victoria stepped aside so Sam could kick the door open. "Crap." Sam heard her mutter right before she walked in.

A tall man was holding a knife to a young girl's throat.

Victoria stepped forward to allow Cas and Dean access into the shack.

"Come closer and I'll kill her!" The vampire shouted as he pressed his blade into the girl's neck even harder.

"Look, just drop the knife, okay? Let the girl go and we can figure this out."

Victoria looked at Dean. "Does that ever work?"

"Shut up!" The vampire yelled.

Sam still had his gun drawn on the vampire. He was thinking about his possible shots. He knew it wouldn't kill the blood sucker, but it may buy them some time.

"What do you want us to do?" Victoria asked. Her tone was that of boredom.

"Leave, bitch."

She could feel Cas stir behind her. She smiled inwardly.

Victoria began to walk around the room. She knew he wasn't going to cut the girl, he was entranced. The vampire's gaze followed her. "First of all, Eddie, that was rude. Second, we can't leave, because you are holding that young lady against her will. We don't take kindly to that. Third, you've been so busy watching me, not that I can blame you, that you didn't notice the giant about to put a 45 caliber bullet into your brain."

Eddie turned around so that Sam shot him square in-between the eyes. The impact caused him to fall on the ground, as he did so his blade cut into the girl's neck. Cas and Dean rushed over to her as Victoria leaned over the Vampire.

"I'm really not sorry Eddie. Before you go, I want you to know that we're going to pay your friends a visit before we leave."

The vampire started to rise, anger and determination written on his face. Victoria put her palm on his forehead and a bright light came out of his eye sockets before he fell on the floor once more.

Victoria pulled out a red handkerchief from her coat pocket. She wiped off her hands as she stood. She put the handkerchief back in her pocket and turned to face the men.

"Is she alright?"

The girl was leaning against Dean. "She will be, Cas took care of the neck thing."

"Good. Can you two take her home? Sam and I will head to the police station."

Cas nodded, "Of course."

Before they got into their separate cars, Dean touched Victoria's arm and motioned for her to follow him. They stopped about twenty feet from the others.

"What is it?"

Dean ran his fingers through his hair and really looked at her. For the first time he noticed she was pretty. She was tall for a woman, just four inches shorter than him. Her hair was the darkest shade of blonde and fell half a foot below her shoulders. He smiled a little, thinking back to all those years ago when her outward appearance would have been the first and most likely only thing he noticed. He was proud of himself for observing her less than desirable personality first.

"I just wanted to say you drove the hell out of that 'Stang. I was impressed."

"You couldn't have said that in front of your brother and Castiel?" She looked agitated, and not at all flattered.

"No, I don't compliment in front of others."

He was surprised to see the tiniest trace of a smile play upon her face.

"Also, I heard you tell, uh Eddie, that we would pay his friends a visit."

"Yes."

Dean waited for her to elaborate. She didn't. He looked exasperated.

"What did that mean?"

"He was part of a nest. Since Oklahoma City is less than forty five minutes outside of here, I'm fairly certain that is what the case is about. We will check in with the police first, just to be sure."

"Either way, we'll snuff it."

"Of course. Can we leave now?"

"Yeah."

Victoria was becoming more impressed by the tall one. It was the first time they had actually worked together and he knew why she was moving about the room drawing the vampire's attention, to give one of them an opportunity. He took it.

"What would you have done if we weren't there?"

"I would have ran at him, hopefully reaching him before he hurt the girl. If I was too slow I would have hopefully been able to heal her before it was too late."

"You can't bring them back?"

"From the dead? No."

"Angels can."

"I am not an angel, Sam. However, I think I would be able to do more than I currently can with training. Hopefully your Angel can help me with that."

"He's not our Angel. We've been through a lot. He likes us. Well, Dean more than me. They share a more 'profound bond'". Sam did air quotes.

Victoria debated on whether or not to discuss that matter further, but she wasn't given a choice. Sam continued to speak. She concluded these gentlemen had a lot of emotional issues. That made her uncomfortable.

"I mean, I know the three of us are like brothers, but they're closer you know?"

She didn't know, and she didn't particularly care.

"Uh huh." She looked at her GPS. Twenty minutes until they reached the police station. She sighed.

Sam couldn't really determine why he kept talking, he just did. It was as if he couldn't stop himself. Maybe it was because she was a captive audience, and he couldn't discuss these things with Dean, Cas, or his Mom.

Victoria lamented the fact that other than her physical strength she had no power over humans. If she had the ability, she would have made him fall asleep.

"It's not that I'm jealous, I'm glad Dean is able to have a relationship with someone other than me, but I feel left out sometimes I guess. I mean he made me ride with you." Sam realized what he said, "Not that I didn't want to, it's just…"

Victoria couldn't take anymore. "Sam. Castiel accidently gave me all his memories. From that I learned that he saved you both from Hell, died for both of you, butchered a pig so you could eat a sandwich, and would die for either one of you a thousand times over. Greater love hath no man than that. But yes, their personalities seem to mesh more. I'm sorry."

"Was that supposed to make me feel better?"

Victoria rolled her eyes.

"Sam, I don't make people feel better. That's not what I do. I've had one true friend my entire life. He didn't need validation or consolation, or whatever it is you require right now. From where I sit, you are a tall, somewhat intelligent, surprisingly agile for your size, attractive by society's standards human being. You should be content with that."

Sam smirked, "You think I'm attractive?"

Victoria put her left hand in her hair and leaned against the driver side window.

"That's what you got from that?"

Sam nodded.

"I think you're exasperating Sam Winchester."

"I'll win you over."

"Good luck."
