Hey everyone!

Well, hopefully I haven't lost any readers… after the last chapter I only got 1 review. Thanks Kim!

Anyway for those still reading, I have lost a bit of my inspiration for writing. My granddad died last week and we were really close, so, sorry guys but I can't be sure when I'll update… it may not be as quick as in the past.

I'll try and keep updating as much as possible though.

Hope you all enjoy.

Ash

Last time: "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."

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

The boys had talked for the past three hours on what to do about the vampires. They had all decided that it was best to act quickly and kill off the clan. They knew that Kristen was too stubborn to stay behind… but she was in no condition to fight and she would be in direct danger if she went, so Lee arranged for Kristen to stay with a friend of theirs, James. The three boys would then secretly go back to Summerville to confront Scott. James was a pyrokenetic and therefore would be perfect protection for Kristen. Kristen would agree knowing that she would be safe and believing she'd have time to heal before they all confronted Scott. Each of the three hated having to lie and go behind Kristen's back, but they believed it would be the best thing for her.

Lee now sat at his sister's bedside waiting for her to wake up. She had regained her colour and was no longer clammy and cold. "damn that son of a bitch Scott, this is all his fault." He thought. His hand clenched into a tight fist at the thought of all that he and his sister had gone through over the past few years. "I'll never let anyone hurt you ever again." Tears formed in his eyes as he looked down at her hand now in his.

"Lee?" a soft voice asked.

Lee looked across and saw his twin looking up at him, her blue eyes brimming with tears.

"Hey, shhhh" he wrapped his arms around her and rocked her gently from side to side. "It's ok Kris… you're ok"

She wrapped her arms around his neck sobbing into his shirt. "I'm so sorry, It was so stupid of me… I was too weak… if only I'd…. why couldn't I…"

"Hey, hey, hey, none of that matters now. I'm always here ok?"

She looked up into his eyes and Lee smiled at her and leaned his forehead against hers. "Ok" she sniffed.

They sat like that for a while, in silence with their heads touching and their eyes closed, thoughts passing through them.

"You don't want me coming back with you to Summerville. Do you?"

"Not yet" Lee whispered

He felt Kris sigh.

"Where will I stay?"

"James is staying at the cabin in Widow's Peak; I'd like you to go stay with him"

Kristen furrowed her brow… trying to hear her twins thoughts. "There's more you aren't telling me"

Lee sighed. He opened his eyes and put his hands either side of Kristen's face.

"Yeah, there is"

"But you can't tell me?"

He gave her a sympathetic smile "no Kris, not yet"

"But you will as soon as you can?"

"Promise"

Kris wrapped her arms around her brother and he held onto her.

"Just be careful ok? I love you and I don't want you getting hurt"

Lee gave her a quick squeeze to assure her. It wasn't him that she should be worried about. He just prayed that Dean and Sam hadn't bitten off more than they could chew.

Kris walked into the lounge where Sam and Dean were packing their things. Sam looked up and saw her.

"Hey, good to see you up" Sam said as he pulled her into a hug.

"Thanks. Where are you two heading off to?" Kris looked over at dean who was still stuffing things into his bag.

"Well…. Uh, Dean and I have a hunt…. so we are heading upstate."

"Oh," Kris whispered. She looked past Sam to dean. "Will I see you two again?"

Sam saw the tears start to form in Kristen's eyes. "Dammit dean, why can't you talk to her?… say goodbye." He looked towards his brother who was still ignoring the situation. "I promise we'll keep in touch. Ok?"

Kris pulled him into a hug. "I'm going to miss you so much Sam."

"I'm gonna miss you too Kris" he pulled away and wiped a stray tear from her face. "Take care ok?"

She nodded her head as Sam grabbed his bag and walked towards the door. He mouthed 'talk to her' to dean as he left the room with Lee.

Kristen and Dean stood there in an awkward silence.

"You were going to leave without saying goodbye?" Kris whispered

Dean cleared his throat. "Well goodbye isn't really a nice situation" he flashed a quick, but forced, smile. "So let's leave it at… it's been fun." He put out his hand as if for her to shake it. God, he hated these moments… where you have to choose between letting someone in, or doing the right… no, the safe thing. Dean knew she'd be safer without him. But then, when he looked at her face, so full of misery at his harsh words, he died inside.

She slowly put her hand in his, shaking it. "Goodbye Dean" she turned to walk out. "Kristen" he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him. They stood there staring, holding each other's gaze. She leaned in and kissed him quickly. He stared at her, caught off his guard. She had made the first move…she had kissed him.

"Sorry I shou…"

He cut off her apology with a slow kiss. As the kiss deepened she raised her arms up around his neck and he laid his hands on her waist. After a few moments they pulled apart.

"So you'll come back for me? When all of this is over?"

Dean furrowed his brow as if thinking.

Kristen pulled him in for another passionate kiss.

She then looked at him waiting for an answer. His eyes were still closed and his lips pursed out a little from the kiss.

"Yeah" he breathed. She smiled at him and he grinned back. "I'll come back for you"
