AHH sorry this took me soo long! Author notes below!
Dean pulled into a parking lot just a couple minutes up the road. He slid the Impala into a parking spot and put the car in park.
"The Hill Town Tavern?"
"Mmm hmm." Dean answered as he reached over to Jenn's side and popped open the glove box.
Jenn watched him with interest as he mouthed "good" while grabbing something out of the glove box. It was obvious he was happy it was there after she peeked a smile on his face.
"What's that?"
"Its my fathers journal. Over the years he wrote things about certain Supernatural things and how to kill them. I'm surprised it's still in there. I thought Sammy would have taken it."
Dean placed the journal on his lap and flipped through to the page he was looking for and passed it over to Jenn. She took it cautiously and the moment she read the first sentence her mouth dropped and she swiftly brought her eyes back up to Deans.
"Vampires!"
"Yup…"
"But there can't be…"
"Ah ah… Keep an open mind here. You were doing so well."
"Are you serious?"
"As a heart attack. When I was walking down here to my car earlier I felt there was something up at this bar but I didn't allow time to deal with it. Well… till your little bet." Dean took the book back from her and closed it back up. He then slid it back into the glove compartment safely.
"You felt a vampire?"
"Sure… I've been doing this a long time Jenn. I don't have crazy powers or anything…" Dean added immediately bringing his thoughts to his little bother. "… But after going after these things for so long it's almost like a 6th sense sometimes. You know how some people who claim to have encountered a ghost say they felt cold?"
"I guess…"
"Its sort of like that. These things leave marks where ever they go. Some are better at noticing it then others. And in my case I just learned to."
Jenn's eyebrows were fused in confusion and mild disbelief. These things were REALLY REAL!
"You know Dean. Just so you know… This is all insane!"
"It sure is sweetheart…" and with that Dean hopped out of the car.
As soon as Jenn collected herself enough, she exited the Impala as well and walked around to find Dean for the second time this evening with his head in the trunk.
"So are you really going to go after this thing then?"
"That's what I do." Dean replied into the trunk. After a couple more seconds the man in front of her pulled himself out of the trunk carrying a few different things. After shutting the trunk and setting the stuff down on the trunk lid he spun around to her handing her something.
"Take this… I refuse to go in there with you unarmed."
Jenn took a weary look at the things he was holding and stepped back a step.
"A cross and a bottle of water? Why do I need that?"
"Thank about it." Dean said unamused with an annoyed look on his face. "Its for your protection. Have you ever seen Vampire movies?"
"Yea… I saw Interview with the Vampire once." She said still eyeing the things he was holding.
"Wonderful then. Consider that like one of your nurses handbooks or something." Dean finally had it with holding the stuff and reached his free hand out to grab one of hers. She didn't fight him or even flinch as he placed the stuff in her hands.
"If something comes near you hold up the cross… DON'T drop it. If things get worse then that then open up this bottle and fling this at it. Its Holy Water."
"I got it." She said finally trying to grasp the situation in her mind.
"Are you sure?" He said looking into her eyes. He was so serious about this. He didn't want a stupid bet getting her hurt.
"Yea…" she said and Dean nodded. He reached down and grabbed a pointed stick and a funny looking gun with an arrow attached.
"Stay in the back as far from me and this thing as possible. I'm going to make this as quickly as I can. The longer I wait the harder it'll get."
Jenn nodded at him and followed him to the door of the Tavern. Instead of busting down the door and running in with guns blazing, Jenn was shocked and kind of disappointed when all Dean did was open the door calmly and walk in.
Following after him she was a bit thrown off at the smoke smell that hit her and the dim light didn't help much either. Her eyes weren't even adjusted yet when Dean walked away from her to the right of the tavern towards a booth.
Jenn took her eyes off of the young man briefly to scan the room. Some of the patrons looked up from their beer glasses to eye her curiously. She must have really stood out. A 23-year-old woman in a nurses uniform certainly wasn't fitting in at this place.
Her eyes darted around at the slightest movement coming from the bar. Dean had given her protection against a freakin Vampire… but not a Drunken Molester. And right now that seemed more dangerous then this vampire stuff.
Jenn didn't have much time to think more about her own safety when she heard commotion in the direction Dean had disappeared. She saw an arrow fly across the room and embed itself into the wall.
"Uh oh…" Jenn whispered while running towards Dean's voice.
"How come I always get the frickin body building bastards!" He yelled at no one in particular as Jenn watched Dean get tossed onto his back to the floor. He slid a few feet before springing back up in the blink of an eye.
Jenn saw that the weapon Dean came into the bar with was gone from his hands and he was now empty handed.
"I've heard of you. A Hunter. You think you can take me on little hunter?"
The voice came from a rather large chiseled man bearing a tight black shirt that accentuated the muscles underneath. He was an intimidating specimen and Jenn's eyes went wide as she looked over Dean's opponent. Her eyes rested back on Dean as he spoke.
"Cut the chit chat. I didn't come in here to talk about myself."
"Well little hunter…" The large vampire said with a sly smile, "… You don't even have a weapon now. All you have left is talking."
"Lovely! A sense of humor. Aren't I the lucky one." Dean said sarcastically. He let his eyes glance quickly around himself trying to find anything he could use against this monster. His father always taught him to be aware of his surroundings and use them to his advantage. A grin crossed his features as his glare landed on something perfect. Now he just had to get to it.
"Oh you will find I'm quite funny." The vampire spit out with a wide smile. Jenn could see now the extra long Canine teeth slipping over the vampires bottom lip. She felt herself involuntarily shiver at the sight of them.
Dean sidestepped to his right. His stance screamed he was ready for an attack. His body was tensed up and his arms were held out a bit to his sides. Even though he was weaponless he looked dangerous and unpredictable. At least to Jenn, who was reminded of how she really still didn't know this man or what he is capable of.
And then… Jenn saw it. A shadow was lurking behind Dean. No… not a shadow… a dark hooded figure stalked Dean from behind, inching ever so close with every step.
She couldn't help herself and before she knew it her voice filled the room.
"Dean! Behind you!"
Dean's eyes went wide and he spun around quickly in just enough time to flip the now charging person right over his shoulder. The new opponent grunted at the impact his back made with the hard dirty floor.
Dean took this opportunity to reach over to the pool table and snatched up a Pool Cue left haphazardly over the green carpeting of the table.
A laugh escaped the Vampires lips at seeing Deans new weapon.
"What are you gonna do pretty boy? Beat me in a game of Pool?"
Dean ignored his Jab and brought the pool stick down over his right knee, snapping it in half.
"I don't have time for this." Dean's voice was stern and dripping with annoyance. He really didn't. He had to find his brother and this bet stuff wasn't a smart thing to have taken up at the moment.
Without warning… without any more chitchat and stalling, Dean shocked the large vampire in front of him when all he did was step foreword and impale the creature straight through his unbeating heart with one half of the pool stick.
The two locked eyes and Dean took pleasure in the surprised expression on his face before a cracking noise filtered through the room.
A sly almost evil smile developed on Dean's lips as he watched the monster explode into a pile of dust in front of him. All that now remained was dust at his feet and the pool cue in his hand. Even the Vampires clothes melted into dust particles.
Dean however, didn't have time to bask in the glow of his accomplishment. He was taken aback when someone snatched one of the broken pool sticks with such force, causing him to spin into the pull. Dean was eye to eye with the hooded man that had charged him just a few seconds ago, the same shocked look on his face that the vampire now in a pile of dust had. Dean glanced down to the pool stick now roughly lodged into the chest of the hooded man, Jenn's shaking hands wrapped around the end of it.
In his surprise at her actions he stood there for a few moments in confusion before realizing what was wrong.
Dean reached over and covered her hands with his and with a fierce push. He pushed the stick in deeper finishing the job and kept his eyes on Jenn's almost frightened expression as the impaled figure too burst into dust.
Jenn stood like stone staring into nothingness. What had she done? What was she thinking? She shouldn't have gotten involved… But it was going after Dean and something in her just snapped.
Dean's hand on her arm brought her attention back to him and they locked eyes. The expression that met her was unreadable. She couldn't tell if he was pissed or grateful.
"Lets go…" He whispered to her emotionless. Dean took the pool cue from her and dropped it before placing a hand on the elbow of her arm and helped usher her shocked form out of the dirty tavern. Curious eyes of the bar patrons followed them out the door.
