Chapter 1

Katerina Singer had finally done it. She had finally graduated from high school. She looked out into the crowd and saw her Uncle Nick along with the rest of her coven there. Her eyes widened when she heard, "Way to go, kitten!" from the crowd.

That could have only come from one person, Dean Winchester.

She looked around and sure enough there he was along with John, Pastor Jim, and her father. She smiled at them and sat down with her diploma.

After the ceremony was over, she went to her uncle and hugged him and all of her cousins and family.

"Hey, Uncle Nick, I'll catch up with all of you in a minute."

"Go ahead, kid."

She walked up to Bobby, Jim, John, and Dean and hugged her father tightly. "Congratulations, princess." Bobby said hugging her tightly.

"Thanks, dad."

"Good job, princess." John said hugging her as well.

When she got to Dean, he picked her up when hugging her. "Didn't know you cared so much about school, Dean?"

"Oh, I don't, kitten. But I know how much you did." He placed her back on the ground.

"What are all of you doing here? I thought none of you could make it."

"We lied." Jim said simply.

"I thought it was a sin to lie?"

"I'm a pastor, not a saint." She laughed and hugged him again.

"Well don't get too excited, Jim and I can't stay fr long. We're leaving tonight." John said.

"Oh. Thank you for coming though." she hugged them and said bye.

Bobby hugged her again and she asked, "How long are you two in town for?"

"About a week." Dean replied.

"C'mon, let's g get something to eat." Bobby said.

They sat in the diner eating their burgers and telling Katie all about their hunting trips when Katie said, "Dad, I want to move in with you."

"Why?" Bobby asked choking on his beer.

"Because your getting on in years." she said with a smile.

Dean laughed but was silenced by a stern look from Bobby.

"I can still kick demon ass better than anyone, what's the real reason."

"O.k. here's the truth, I want you to teach me how to hunt."

"No." Bobby said simply.

"But-"

"You already know how to hunt."

"Yeah with magic. Without it, I'm not that skilled. I want to be well-rounded."

"I want you to go to school."

"And I want to do this. It's in my blood. And if you won't help me, I'll find someone who will." She got up from the table and walked out and sat in Dean's car.

"I'll talk to her." Dean said.

Dean got into his car and started driving. He drove until they reached this abandoned park that he knew she liked to go to so she could think.

"Hey, let's go on the swings. You always loved the swings." Dean said.

They sat on the swings in silence for a few minutes before Dean said, "I bet you can't go higher than me."

"I bet you I can."

"Alright, I have a hundred in the bottom of my wallet that says otherwise."

"I accept your challenge. And while we're at it, let's see who can jump the farthest."

"Done." Dean said with a smile that she returned. "O.k. go."

They both jumped from the swings and Dean landed on top of Katie. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment before Dean leaned down and almost kissed her. He pulled away when he realized that he almost kissed Katie, Bobby's daughter, a girl he's known his entire life. He rolled off her and said, "You won." He handed her two hundred dollars and said, "Why do you want to be a hunter? You can do something better with your life."

"That's just it, Dean. This is what I want to do. This is what I have to do. I wasn't kidding when I said that hunting was part of my blood. My mom was a hunter aside from being a witch and my dad is the hunter that everyone goes to for advice. It's who I am. And what better good can I do than ridding the world as many evil sons of bitches as I can."

"You have a point there. You should tell Bobby all of this."

"Can you talk to him too. He'll listen to you."

"Kitten, look I would but this is something that needs to be done between the two of you. Plus I've seen your dad take out a fully turned werewolf without taking a scratch."

Katie laughed but nodded and hugged him.

They drove back to her Uncle Nick's place and saw Bobby sitting in the living room. "Dad, can we talk?" She asked him.

"Yeah, come on." Katie told Bobby everything that she told Dean and a few hours later they returned. "Hey, how'd it go?"

"I'm moving to South Dakota with dad."

"Bobby's letting you hunt."

"Yup. You better watch out, Dean, cause one of these days I'm going to be a better hunter than you."

"I'll believe that when I see it, kitten."

A few days later, Katie moved to South Dakota. Her training began instantly with her two drill sergeants, Dean and Bobby. By the end of August, under both of their guidance, she was ready to go out in the field but Bobby was reluctant to send her on any hunting trips on her own. So, he would send her off with Dean. Upon returning from a hunt in Montana, the pair saw a familiar truck in the Salvage yard. "I wonder what my dad is doing here?" Dean asked. Just then they heard a gunshot. The two of them looked at each other before running inside.
