Last time: Lee walked into the room, gave his sister a one armed hug and a kiss on the head. "Dean watched Kristen most of the night. Your brothers a good guy Sam. You both are."

Sam was somewhat surprised at what Lee had said. 'Dean had watched Kristen most of the night? I thought he wanted them gone? Has dean gone… sentimental?'

Sam looked at the other two who were now tucking into breakfast. Could he imagine having two other people around… permanently? At that moment dean walked into the kitchen and started to make himself a very strong coffee.

"Hey"

Dean gave his brother a quick smile "Hey Sam"

He then went and sat down at the table, leaving Sam perplexed at his brother's good mood.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Sam sat at his laptop scrolling through pages and pages of info on vampires. Lee sat at his side pointing out fact from fiction... and there was a lot more fiction than fact. Dean sat on his bed cleaning his guns with great pride, his guns were spread out in front of him, each one holding a different purpose. Kristen sat on a chair in the sun looking out the window, she hugged her legs to her body and rested her chin on her knees.

"nope, no such thing as Dracula" Lee smiled at Sam's shocked face.

" are you serious? No Dracula? But that's one of the strongest Vampire legends I've herd of."

"well, people are seduced by the story of Dracula. It leads into the secret sexual desire of humans supposedly shrouded in innocence"

Dean chuckled placing another clean gun into the pile on his left. "you mean people actually fantasize about sleeping with some dead corpse that thinks virgin blood is finger looking good?"

Lee laughed shaking his head. "i know, i know... it's odd. But they don't see the things that we do. They see the handsome foreign stranger shrouded in mystery... who offers beauty and immortal life."

"Dean wouldn't have a problem meeting a vampire then…. He already thinks he's beautiful" Sam smirked, catching the cloth that had just been thrown at him.

Dean pursed his lips together in thought when he realized that the cloth to clean his guns was now in Sam's hand. "Hey Sam could you chuck my cloth back?" Dean flashed a smile.

"No way man..." Sam said looking back to the computer, tucking the cloth into his pocket.

"ugh... come on Sammy..." Dean sighed.

"So where did vampires really originate?" Lee smiled, knowing that Sam was ignoring Dean just to bug his brother.

Lee gave Dean a shrug and turned to the laptop. "well it's quite hard to say for sure..."

Dean let out a frustrated sigh of defeat and walked over to where Kristen sat staring out the window.

"you deserved that" she whispered smiling up at him.

"oh not you too." Dean said, sitting down next to her as she laughed. "how you feeling today?"

"Better thanks." they sat there in silence for a moment.

"So I must tell you Dean that you have the most beautiful singing voice" he turned to see her smirking at him.

"you were awake?" he whispered turning red.

"only towards the end... and then i couldn't stop you."

Dean, who was now bright red shook his head in disbelief. "you didn't... say anything to... ya know... did you?"

"no dean, Sam doesn't know. I haven't uttered a word to anyone... and don't worry I'm not going to tell anyone. I thought it was... sweet of you"

"where's a bucket when you need one?"

Kristen laughed hitting his arm. "are you saying I've gone too soppy for you dean winchester? I could tell our brothers what you did..."

"no... no no no" he whispered "I guess i can live with the occasional chick flick moment. Just ah, don't tell Sam that... or else he'll have me meditating with him or something."

"Deal" Kris placed her hand out for him to shake.

"Deal"

"Hey Kris! Dean! Come and help us out here will ya?" Lee smirked "and stop flirting… it's suffocating us here"

"Lee!" Kris yelled storming over to him. "You little punk" she grumbled ruffling up is hair as she sat down between him and Sam.

"Hey, I'm 18 minutes older than you. The oldest is always right"

Sam sat forward "well that's not exactly true…" then he added under his breath "especially in my family"

"Hey I heard that…. Bitch"

"oh yeah….Dean… the older brother …. the epitome of responsibility…." Sam stated matter of factly. Then turned to his brother. "Jerk."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After a large argument about siblings, with plenty of laughs, the four set to making a plan for killing the vampire group that Scott leaded. There they were, four hunters, happily laughing as if none of the horrors they'd seen ever existed. Sam watched his brother, the uptight Dean had gone, and he looked, well, happy. it made Sam smile. The plan was set, and in two days, when everyone had had time to heal and prepare, the four of them would go back to Summerville and confront the vampires.

By lunchtime everyone was hungry and needed a break.

"Kris you look tired, why don't you go lie down for a bit?" Kris didn't have to be told twice and got up heading towards her room.

"if you guys need me just wake me up ok?" Kris didn't really want to be woken up, she was having enough trouble staying standing and yesterday had taken more out of her than she'd admit. She didn't want to be left out of this fight. Scott was her problem, and she would be there when he was taken down.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

When Kristen opened her eyes again the pale colored roof had turned a dark grey and the temperature had dropped a few degrees. It was night, she had slept though most of the day. She smiled to herself, the boys had lasted the day without letting the testosterone smother them. She lazily got out of the bed, stretching and letting her back click back into place. Retying her hair, she softly treaded into the lounge.

"it's alive" Sam joked.

Kristen looked around and surveyed the empty room.

"they're eating huh?"

Sam let out a small laugh. "it's scary how alike those two are really. Neither really wanted to leave you but I guess their stomachs got the better of them when I said I'd keep an eye on you."

"oh, a girl feels truly loved around here" she sat on the sofa, legs tucked under her she stared absentmindedly at her fingers.

"so you wanna talk about it?"

Kristen gave Sam a perplexed look

"what?"

"it's obvious that you and Scott have some sort of past. Dean wouldn't want to push it. He's not into the whole feelings thing and as usual he just wants this thing dead and you safe… but if you want to talk… it might help and I'm here.

"so you want to know how I know Scott?"

"I just thought you might want to talk about it."

"well there isn't really that much to it. Scott was my boyfriend before he was turned. I went on a hunt to kill out a vampire 'nest' and he followed me. It got ugly and he was turned right in front of me." She stared blankly at the table as if watching the entire scene again. "when someone's turned, they aren't themselves anymore… they…. change. It's like every characteristic of them grows and they become… well… psychotic… dangerous. Scott was always strong headed… smart; the perfect leader. When he turned, he climbed to the top of the clan… quickly. The only thing stronger than his leadership instinct was… well, his love for me." She wiped away the tears that were now flowing down her face. Sam kept quiet the whole time, knowing she would stop when she wanted. "love turned to obsession, protectiveness turned to jealousy and soon the Scott I knew had become a monster, not the guy I had been going out with for a year."

"wow" Sam said sympathetically "so now he wants you back?"

"something like that. He wants me turned… apparently we'd be the 'perfect team' I just want to give him the peace he deserves… he'd hate what he's become."

"oh that's so sweet" sam and Kris turned to see a slim woman with long black hair standing in the doorway.

"Tracy" Kristen growled.

"hiya sweetheart, you going to introduce me to your lovely snack?" she said running her tongue over her lips.

"Sam's not a snack… Sam this is Tracy… the corpse that turned scott."

"oh I see." Sam said slowly getting up hoping to get to his gun.

"well now that that's out of the way, lets see if you're as yummy as you look." Tracy lunged at Sam only to be stopped by a shot of rock salt to the back.

"Keep your hands off my brother" Dean stood in the doorway, lee at his side.

"sure, why not? you look more fun anyway." She turned away from Kristen and Sam and faced Dean.

"don't bite off more than you can chew" Dean spat out, followed by the famous smirk.

"well I'm sure there will be plenty to go around." At this, four more vampires broke through the windows. Ready to fight.

"oh great" Dean started to step forward but was stopped by Lee. "We've got this." Lee stated as Kristen stepped in front of sam.

The lights started to flicker and dean and sam both looked at the scene before them. Kristen and Lee both had their eyes closed and were somewhat glowing.

"dude that's creepy" dean laughed, impressed.

The vampires split into two groups, two taking on Lee, the other three taking on Kris.

"don't you guys know it's rude to pick on a girl" Lee smirked as he threw what looked like a heat wave at the vampires.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After ten minutes, Dean was itching to get into the fight and sam knew they could help… he just didn't know how. Kris and Lee were starting to tire and only two of the vampires had turned to dust.

"Screw this" Dean yelled as Kris was thrown back into the wall.

Guns were shooting out and Kris could hear profanities and smart arse comments being yelled from both sides. Jut as she stood up she came face to face with a very angry Tracy.

"wanna go for a walk while these boys fight it out?" she cooed.

"bite me bitch"

"tempting…. But thatr's not in the plan" with that she grabbed Kristen and threw her down the hallway and into the mirror hanging above the bathroom basin.

"Kristen!" Sam yelled while taking a hit from a vamp. All three men weren't doing too well in their struggles to get to her.

Out of their sight, Kristen was pulled to her feet still dazed. "you know what my dear little Krissy? Scott told me that I was not to harm you in any way if it was possible. He seemed to think that once your brother and friends were out of the way that you'd come willingly. What a joke. You don't have the guts to become one of us… which is ok I guess… some people are just afraid of eternity. Afraid of having to live with themselves forever. It's ok to be afraid Kristen"

"You've always been full of shit tracy, so predictable. You've become scared of the very man that you turned… you're pathetic"

Tracy hissed, baring her fangs. "you never knew when to shut up… why did I think this would be any different?"

"because you're an idiot" Kris replied giving her an innocent smile.

"I could suck you dry right here"

"go ahead" Kris taunted

"oh you'd like that wouldn't you? Give your boys enough time to come and save you. I'm not as stupid as you think and I won't fall for it. My vampires won't hold out much longer."

Kris butted in "don't you mean scotts vampires?"

Tracy frowned "maybe a snack before I go…. it might teach you some respect." Tracy tightened her grip on the weakened Kristen slicing onto the wounds scott had left on her collar bones. Kristen refused to cry out, even when tracy slowly drew her tounge across the cuts she remained silent. Tracy smiled up at Kris licking the remaining blood off her lips.

"you're sick" Kristen whispered, preying for the boys to hurry.

"I must say that you taste exactly like I expected…….. sour." And with that Tracy walked out of the room leaving Kris to slide down the wall in complete shock and exhaustion.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The four of them sat in the now messy and bloodied lounge like soldiers. Cuts and a thin layer of sweat adorned their bodies. They were all sore from the fight but no-one was hurt seriously. Thay were all just sitting there in silence… tired.

"and if you go, I wanna go with you. And if you die, I wanna die with you, take your hand and walk away…" Hearing the familiar ringtone, Lee rummaged though his pockets looking for his phone. "shit I gotta take this" he said, getting up awkwardly and moving into the hallway. "jannet, yeah hi…. Oh about that…….." his voice faded off as he walked further away.

"jannet aye? Sounds like Lee's got a girlfriend… care to fill us in Kris?" Dean joked, hoping to lighten the mood.

Kris didn't move at all. "Jannet's Lee's fifty four year old boss."

"ugh" dean pulled a grossed out face at the mental picture of lee kissing a fifty four year old. "nasty"

Lee shuffled into the room and sat awkwardly besides Kris.

"So Kris, guys, I've ah…"

"Kristen's face couldn't fall any lower and the room remained silent as the boys waited.

"You're leaving aren't you?" Kristen whispered.

Sam was taken aback by how hurt Kris sounded; he looked at her and noticed her shaking. She actually looked rather pale when he thought about it. He furrowed his brow at the sight. Something didn't seem right.

"Kris I've got to go. With my job…"

"I get it." She was looking down at her hands, face hidden behind her hair.

Dean and Sam didn't know what to say or where to look. It seemed like a sibling fight, it was normally them fighting and they'd never really been caught in the middle of someone else's fight.

"Kris, are you going to be ok?" Lee asked.

The brothers looked at Kris. Her eyes had teared up. All of a sudden they noticed the Kris they all knew had deteriorated into a shell of her former self. She looked pale and weak with dark rings under her eyes.

Dean stared at her, fear and concern eating him inside.

"Kris?" Lee leaned forward and put his hand on hers.

"I'm fine," she mumbled as she pulled her hand away. She shakily got up and started to leave the room. All three boys were paralyzed with the fear that they were somehow losing Kris. Sam stood up and blocked the doorway; holding onto her shoulders.

"Hey," he stared into her eyes. "What's going on?"

She evaded his eyes as tears began to flow down her face.

"Please Sam, let me past" her voice was merely a whisper but it rattled dean.

"Kris, please tell us what's wrong" Dean stood up and walked slowly towards her.

Kristen shrank back against their concerned stares.

"I'm fine, please Sam just let me go" her voice became panicked and as Sam let her shoulders go Kris ran through to the bedroom and shut the door. Leaving the brothers and Lee baffled.

"This is all my fault" Lee had his head in his hands.

Sam stepped towards him. "How so?"

"As soon as I mention leaving this happens. I should have known. How could I abandon her?"

"She'll be ok. It probably just came as a shock" but Sam knew there was more to it than that, and it would seem, so did his brother.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Dean made his way towards the bedroom door.

He was worried, and that made him angry. She made him care, the only other person that did that was Sam, and it had proven more than once to be a weakness when hunting. Dean was a hunter, and although he often tries to save those he loves by pushing them away, he couldn't do it to her. He needed to hold her, he needed to whisper to her that it would all work out, but most of all, he needed her. How had this girl changed him? Where had the normal Dean Winchester gone? Why was he being so… sentimental? Oh god, he hoped that Sam hadn't noticed anything. He smiled to himself, thinking of Kristen… "Kristen, ugh you idiot dean"

"Kris?" Dean knocked softly, leaning his against the door, as he heard a thud his eyes widened. Dean pushed open the door and his heart fell. There lay Kristen on the floor, pale and lifeless.

Dean ran and scooped her onto his lap. She was trembling and icy cold.

"Lee! Sam!" he screamed

The other two rushed into the doorway. Their eyes wide and alert.

"Shit! Kris!" Lee ran to his sister's side. His eyes running over her limp body.

"I just found her like this? What's happening?" Dean looked up at Sam like a confused child and Sam knew at that moment that his brother was falling for this girl.

"Don't worry dean, lee, I'll find a way to help her" Sam stated now pacing the room "… there has to be info on this somewhere… maybe Scott's cursed her? Or she's been poisoned? Or…"

Sam paused when Dean pulled back her top to reveal dark lines running over her collarbones and up the side of her neck.

"Oh my god" Sam whispered.

"Fuck! Why didn't I think of that!?!" Lee got to his feet and started rummaging through one of Kristen's bags.

Sam looked at Dean who was silent, stroking Kris' cheek and near tears. He knew Dean would blame himself for anything that happened to her.

"What didn't you think of?" Sam asked looking towards Lee.

Lee was now rummaging through bag after bag.

"Well when a vampire leader bites, their saliva has a venom in it that starts to poison the human that has been bitten" he pulled out clothes tossing them on the ground. "It's kind of like an evolved way of killing off their prey, it stops them from drinking the last of the humans blood and helps continue the leaders reign"

"So that way they can't infect themselves with dead blood" Sam exclaimed, looking at dean gazing blankly at Kris.

"yes… Tracy was once a strong leader and she'll have that venom... Aha!" Lee rushed over to Kris lying in dean's arms. He pulled up her sleeve and bit off the cap of a needle. Dean looked at Lee uncertainly.

"Trust me" Lee whispered as he injected the light blue liquid into his sister's arm.

Lee sat back on the floor, leaning against the bed with his head in his hands. "It might take a little while, but she should be fine. It's an anti-venom that a friend of mine created for this strain of vampires he managed to reconstruct the actual vampires DNA. I've seen it used before. Now all we can do is wait."

All three kept their eyes on Kristen's limp form, hoping for the best.
