Gah! This chapter was harder than I thought it would be. I'm not sure how it turned out or if I moved too fast, but oh well. Here it is anyhow and I hope you'll like it.

Please leave a Review like always and Fav/Follow.

Brookie Twiling – They would, but both of them are hiding from other Angels and Heaven, so I'm not sure. We'll see what I'm going to do once the chapter is there. I'd kinda like it if Gabriel only found out during 'Changing Channels', but I feel like that's too much time, so either 'Tall Tales' or 'Mystery Spot'… Thank you for the Review. I'm glad you like this story. I kind like this one better than the other one as well. That's why I'll probably delete the Vampire Hunter… Oh well, thanks again.

Prfh – Woah, you reviewed almost once a day xD Sorry it took a few days, but these chapters are kind of difficult to write sometimes and they turn out to be huge compared to some of my other stories… Could you perhaps try and write the Reviews in English? If not that's totally fine, but Google Translate can only tell me so much xD Did you mean that Damon and Ray should be good friends? What do you think of Elena? The sentence I got didn't make too much sense to me. I'm really sorry if it's annoying, but I'd appreciate it if you could try? No pressure though.

PersephoneTheQueen – Okay. That's something I could do. I already have a few ideas of what's going to happen, but nothing too concrete. I'm glad you like this story as well.

Lyryenn – Right? That guy was hardly father material… You're idea isn't bad. I quite like it actually, so I'll think of something. Thank you so much for that. About Gabriel we'll see, but there will be an awesome reunion in any case. Not quite sure when yet, but most likely in 'Tall Tales' now that I continue to think about it. It's the easiest option there is… Can't put a finger on it… That's the expression I think. I'm not a native speaker either, so I'm pretty much just guessing xD Thank you for the Review. To be honest, I wasn't even on vacation, but still. Sick days are annoying, but at least you don't have to work… Hope you'll like this chapter.

Enjoy,

Nick

I was running around the Roadhouse, helping Ellen with serving the crowd. Usually when it was packed and Ash buggered off somewhere, I took it upon myself to help as much as I can. It's the least I could do for Ellen and Jo. They have after all let me stay several times already, so I felt like I owed it to them.

Ellen was in the kitchen, when the phone rang. I bit my lip, thinking about whether to answer it or not "Harvelle's Roadhouse. Ray speaking," I said.

"Ray? You're at the Roadhouse? Where's Ellen?" Sam's voice filtered through the speaker.

"Well, hello to you too, Sam. Ellen's in the kitchen. What can I do for you?" I questioned.

Sam cleared his throat nervously "You ever run across a guy named Gordon Walker?"

I frowned. Wasn't he the vampire Hunter? I never met him, but I was always looking forward to it. Gordon was kind of infamous with informed people "Yeah, I know Gordon."

"And?"

"He's a good Hunter, I think. Bit prejudiced if you ask me, but so are many Hunters," I mumbled "Why are you asking?"

Sam shuffled around on the other end "We ran into him on a job and we're kind of working with him."

"Who's that?" Ellen asked, leaning against the wall next to me.

I blinked at her "Erm, Sam wants to know about Gordon Walker. They ran into him and are working with him now."

The older looking woman took the phone out of my hand "Don't do that, Sam… Yeah, and Hannibal Lecter is a good psychiatrist. Look, he is dangerous to everyone around him. If he's working on a job you boys just let him handle it and you move on… No, Sam? You – just listen to what I'm telling you, okay? If you think you can't get out of the hunt, I'm sending Ray. She has experience with Hunters like Gordon… Okay, I'm sending her off… Bye, Sam." Ellen hung up the phone and turned to me with a sigh "Would you mind going to see if they're okay? They're in Red Lodge, Montana."

"Red Lodge? That's more than seven hours by car, isn't it?"

Ellen nodded "Sorry about that."

I waved her off "It's fine. I'll just use my… magic. Gets me there in a few minutes. Just have to explain that to Sam."

"You know, I'd still love to know what you are," the owner of the Roadhouse rolled her eyes.

I grinned at her cheerfully "You wouldn't believe me, Ellen. Maybe someday though." If I trusted anyone enough to tell them exactly what I was that would be Bobby and Ellen, although Sam and Dean were jumping higher on the list with every meeting we had. They were too… unpredictable though, so if I could, I'd keep my secret for as long as I could.

I flew to Red Lodge quickly. A few beats of my winds and I was there. Sometimes it was really amazing to not do things the human way. In front of me, I could see the parking lot of a Motel and the Impala parked several feet away from me.

"Sam," I called, stepping out of the shadows when I saw the tall Hunter walking towards a vending machine on the other side of the lot.

He flinched in surprise and whirled around "Ray? How are you here already? I thought you were at the Roadhouse."

I shrugged carelessly "I have my ways. So, what are you doing?"

"Just buying a soda," Sam replied, bending down to retrieve the can from the slot. He gestured for me to follow him back to their room.

Suddenly, there was a noise behind us and someone flew at Sam. He knocked his attacker to the ground and then the other one. I was about to step in, when the first attacker rose behind my friend and slammed a heavy telephone into the back of Sam's head, knocking him out cold. They turned onto me and I held up my hands in surrender "I have no wish to get a concussion curtsey of a phone, thank you very much."

The two men looked at each other and then back at me, before the one without the phone lifted Sam off the floor, while the other one grabbed my arm tightly. Well, at least he didn't knock me out. Was it bad that I thought it was hilarious that Sam got knocked out with a phone? It kinda has a ring to it… Never. Again. That one was too bad to even laugh at it.

I wasn't sure how much time passed, but I found myself tied to a chair next to Sam. One of the men pulled off the sacks that they put over our heads and started advancing on us in full vampire mode. The other Hunter started struggling against the bonds, when I heard another person approaching.

"Wait! Step back, Eli," she said, stopping Eli in his tracks. He pulled back and the woman walked over to pull the gag out of our mouths "My name's Lenore. I'm not going to hurt you. We just need to talk."

Sam scoffed "Talk? Yeah, okay, but I might have a tough time paying attention to much besides Eli's teeth."

Lenore smiled gently "He won't hurt you either. You have my word."

"Your word?" the Hunter tested out "Oh yeah, great, thanks. Listen lady, no offence but you're not the first vampire I've met."

In that moment I noticed blood on Sam's wrists and turned to the vampires contemplatively "Sam," I murmured, making the Winchester look over at me "It's fine. They're veggies."

"What?"

"They don't kill humans. Kinda like the Cullens from Twilight. Plus, you have been bleeding for ages and they haven't attacked you yet," I shrugged with a small grin.

Sam gaped "So they're responsible for all the –"

"It's not ideal," the female vampire told us "In fact, it's disgusting, but it allows us to get by."

"Okay, uh, why?" Was it really that hard to understand why some vampires didn't want to drink human blood? Not that it mattered much to Hunters like Gordon and even Dean to some extend, but it was still something I could appreciate. They were really trying and even went as far as to go against everything that made them… well, them.

Lenore sighed "Survival. No deaths, no missing locals, no reason for people like you to come looking for people like us. We blend in. Our kind is practically extinct. Turn out we weren't quite as high up the food chain as we imagined."

"Why are we explaining ourselves to these killers?" Eli spat from the doorway.

"Eli!"

He shook his head harshly "We choke on cow's blood so that none of them suffer. Tonight they murdered Conrad and they celebrated."

I cleared my throat "Listen, I know you probably don't trust me, but I can help. If we relocate you, you might be able to live. I also need to talk to Walker about his stupid little obsession with killing every vampire out there."

"We have a life here," Lenore argued.

"And you will be dead if you don't leave. Which one is it going to be?" I challenged, staring at the two vampires with honesty shining in my eyes.

Eli stepped froward "Who are you?"

"My name is Ray," I told him "I…"

"I've heard of you," he cut me off "The fair Huntress. Someone who you could always count on, no matter what species you were. What are you doing with them?"

I closed my eyes in relief. Good, at least that would make them trust me enough to settle them somewhere else "Sam and his brother are friends of mine. They aren't like Walker."

"The other one killed one of us though," he snapped.

"Dean was doing what he though best. I don't agree, but he's been a bit different since our father died a few weeks ago," Sam explained "I'll talk to him about it and I'm sure Ray will mention it as well."

Lenore bit her lips nervously "You're really going to help us?"

"Yes. Pack up your stuff and I'll take you somewhere safe," I vowed.

The vampires looked at each other and walked out of the room Sam and I were in. I squirmed a bit and stood up, the restraints falling to the floor without any problem. I grinned at the Winchester and leaned over his shoulder to untie the knot that held the ropes together.

"Thanks," he murmured "Do you really believe them?"

I shrugged "It fits. The cattle mutilation and their attitudes. Sam, there's something you have to understand about me. I don't kill if there's another choice. If the creatures in question are non-violent then I'll do everything I can to help them through this. They didn't choose to become what they are."

"I get it." He ran a hand through his growing hair "I do, but you have to understand me as well. I never came across anything like them."

"The world is bigger than just black and white, Sammy," I pointed out. The group of vampires came back into the room, seemingly surprised that we weren't tied up any longer "Hey, would it be alright if I gave you an address to go to? I want to deal with Walker first."

Lenore tilted her head "You promise that it's safe for us?"

"On my honour as Hunter," I promised "Here it is." On the piece of paper was the address of one of my many homes in the US. I didn't use them that often, that's why I sometimes let some people stay there.

"Thank you," Eli smiled nervously.

I waved his thanks off "It's alright. Now go!"

Lenore cleared her throat "How will you get back to the motel?"

"Do you trust me?" I asked Sam plainly. If he said yes, then I'd teleport us there, if not then maybe they could drop us off a bit away from the actual motel.

"I – What do you want to do exactly?"

I swallowed nervously "You'll have to promise that you won't tell Dean until I say that it's okay."

Sam frowned "I – Alright. But only because you helped us before."

"I can get us there in under a minute, but you have to trust me," I told him. He gave me a curt nod and I turned to the vampires "You can leave. I should be there in a few days." They nodded and left. From inside the house, we could hear the transporter start up and drive away. I held out my hand for Sam's head and hovered it in front of his face uncertainly "Are you sure, you're okay with it?"

"Just do it, Ray," Sam groaned "I want to sleep."

I laughed "Alright then. Close your eyes." When he did as I told him to, I gently touched his forehead, transporting us into the shadows of the parking lot. The exact same location I had landed in earlier "We're here."

The younger Winchester's eyes snapped open and he looked around in surprise "Woah." Before I could walk away, a hand stopped me though "Ray? Why did you show me? You could have kept it a secret easily."

I ran a hand through my black hair "I don't know. I mean, I trust you somewhat, but I originally didn't want to show anything like this near you… It just seemed like a good idea at the time. Do I have to regret trusting you?"

"No," he shook his head "I'd like to know what exactly you are, but I'm patient. Since you helped us before, I guess that you don't want to kill us. Also, Bobby speaks very highly of you."

I snorted "True that and no, I have no plans of murdering you or Dean. Let's go. I feel like annoying a Hunter now." I slipped my hand into the crook of Sam's arm as he lead me to his and Dean's room. When we entered, the older Winchester was already there along with Walker.

"Where you been?" Dean grunted "And where did Ray come from?"

"I just randomly pop up once in a while," I snarked at him "So, I heard you had a hunt here?"

Walker squinted at me suspiciously "That's none of your business."

I raised an eyebrow "Oh? Isn't it? It becomes my business when you go after innocents. The vampires here don't harm humans." Out of the corner of my eye, I could Sam and Dean leaving the room. Most likely to talk about what had just happened. I just hoped that Sam would really keep my secret, otherwise I had to erase their memories of that event. On the other hand, if he accepted me for who and what I was – even though he didn't know – then I'd think about allowing him to tell Dean. It was extremely unlikely that they'd find out that I was an Angel anyway, so what's the harm?

"There's no such thing," Walker scoffed "If you really believe that then you're more gullible than I thought a Hunter could be."

I marched up to him and got into his face "Listen here, you asshole. The coven is gone and you'll leave them alone otherwise you'll have me to deal with. I'm a better Hunter than you. You should really let go of that prejudice you have going on there."

"Why should I listen to not only a woman, but a baby Hunter?" he sneered.

"I've been doing this for longer than you," I told him, crossing my arms over my chest "Don't go against someone you don't know. It won't end well for you."

Walker started laughing "Try me, little girl. You won't survive."

I was getting extremely angry now, but I reigned in my temper as best as I could "Consider it a warning. The next time we meet, you might not be as lucky." With those parting words, I walked out of the door and straight into Sam "Sorry about that."

"It's fine," the taller of the two Hunters smiled "Are you leaving?"

I nodded "Yes. I still have some things to do, so there's that. Plus, I should probably check up on the cover soon, lest they destroy my house."

Sam's eyes widened "You gave them your address?"

"One of them. I have a few, so I don't mind them staying fr a while. It's only for a while anyway."

Dean raised an eyebrow at me "Why don't you just kill them and get it over with?"

"Because while they're not human, they don't kill humans. They drink blood from cows. I think it should count for something, right?"

The older brother seemed to consider it and nodded slowly "You're right. I'm not happy about it, but you're right. It was good seeing you again, Ray."

I smiled "Why thank you, good sir. We'll probably see each other more often. I tend to stay at the Roadhouse whenever I don't have anything to do, so I'll see you." I blinked, when both Sam and Dean pulled me into quick hugs. That seemed somewhat unlike them, but I wasn't arguing. I loved hugs, but I didn't want just anyone doing it. The best feeling was, when you knew the person and trusted them. Family or friends… Best. Feeling. Ever. I still remembered the times when Mike, Luke, Gabe and Raphael all curled up with me. We would cuddle for ages, before we had to go back to work. The five of us were siblings, really close siblings. I missed them so much, but there wasn't anything I could do about it. Either I'd see them again or I didn't. It was up to father to decide what would happen.
