I would like to thank all my reviews you are all so great and inspire me greatly to continue. If you wonder why It has taken so long it's because the site would not let me update and I would really like to thank H.T.Marie for showing me how to add chapters during this difficult time.

CHAPTER 04

Before : Dean on the other hand had and thus he managed to survive, in fact he thrived and become a hunter making his father proud even if he did not admit it. You wonder how Dean survived, why my friends, my readers, my reviewers that is the next chapter.

Now you know why Dean does not like research, he never knows what he will find. He hid the result of his research into his family deep in the back of the impala amid toys and the few puzzles that he and Sam where allowed to or well there was space for in the Impala. He had to admit he was scared, he did not know what his father would do but he suspected that a stake to the heart would not be far behind Dean telling him the truth that Dean was a Dhampir (if you don't know what that is I suggest reading http:// en. Dhampir for legends and further info, but roughly it translates as a half human, half vampire child), and Dean was one of the longest surviving Dhampirs in history, which showed none of the bad traits such as anger, madness, a need to drink blood, a need to kill and or torture his victims. I am not saying that these feelings where not there, they where big time, but something kept them in check for the first 10 years of his life and helped control them during the rest of his life.

Dean first notice one of them come to the surface, the night of his first hunt. He was helping his father with a poltergeist and John had managed with help to move it on, but he had got hurt in the process. This was the first time Dean had seen blood flowing from a wound, usually by the time Dad came home it had dried but not now, it was red and following and Dean was transfixed by it. John had to shout at him to snap out of it and help to wake him up and Dean did to his credit helped bind the wound. A wound he really wanted to enlarge and touch and ... drink from - It was then that Dean snapped out of it really and covered with a few more bandages then necessary, the wound. Making absolutely sure before flying to the bathroom that not a drop of blood could be seen. Once in the bathroom Dean scrubbed his hands clean resisting the urge to link the dried blood from them. He heard his father on the other side of the door asking if he was alright, so he pretended to throw up in the toilet and mumbled that he was fine just first hunt jitters, He would be fine. He said that to himself again and again hoping that he would one day believe it!

John to give him credit knew something was not right, Dean was a great hunter going to be one of the best. He knew that this was not first hunt jitters, Dean did not have jitters first hunt or otherwise. So mentally he went over the evening's hunt trying to find something anything that could account for Deans sudden very strange behavior. Having thought of nothing after about an hour, he gave up the thought of sleeping a few hours and told his kids he would be going for something to eat and to wash the car. He got a slightly worried Yes Sir (from Sam) and a distinct OK from Dean, who now was having a hot shower to clean up he said, but actually to wash off any trace of his father's blood. Even the smell got him wanting more, let's just say he did not sleep well that night and he would have slept worse, if he had known what at that moment his father was doing while washing the car.

Yes, John had the car washed and then decided on seeing a charity shop asking for donations that some of the toys needed to be cleaned out to make way for a few more books, so he parked outside the shop, opened the trunk and dug up the bag of toys and begun sorting though them. out went the pink elephant left over from Sam's obsession on dumbo, out went what was left of a race track which was more glued and taped then actually working. He left the battered impala model and the red corvette from it because well they where his boys favorite models and then he spied the a4 box and wondered what was in it. The box was made of steel and locked with not one but two locks. He remembered the box but also remembered that Dean had said he had not liked it, so he had traded it for a huge pile of comics. It was meant to be a security box so even John took 5 minutes to accidentally have the lock unclick and the padlock fall away by accident of course.

John by this time you will know was not big on having secrets being kept from him not that he was nosey no, he just figured that it was better to know what a demon might tell you before he tried to tell you, if you understand what I mean. Well that was the excuse anyway really, he was nosey and after opening the box Dean had taken such care to hide, he wished he had never opened it, because there it was, the research Dean had spent 2 years working on, the reason why he had rushed into the bathroom today, the secret Dean was scared to tell, that he Dean Winchester older son of John and Mary was a Dhampir.

To say John trusted Dean with his life would be a understatement, but this shook him to his foundations. He could not fault the research in fact he admired the detail of it, but still the fact that his son was a dhampir he could not and would not believe it. Somewhere in the research there must be a mistake and when he found it and could show it to Dean, he would kick the boy's ass over four states for putting him though this.

There was of course one problem with that course of action, and John found it out after 4 months of nothing but research and more research actually putting the research of the demon on hold to deal with this. The problem was simply John could not find any fault with the research. Dean had if anything gone overboard with meticulous detail, tracking down legends from Pastor Jim's and Bobby's books dating back hundreds of years, cross referencing everything down to including cartoon character histories to obscure references from books, listing the book name and page number or comic number and page reference. John found no error and after 4 months decided he needed help, so he called in Bobby and Pastor Jim. He of course did not tell them that it was his son he mentioned a mother who was trying to protect her unborn child and had called him for help. He even passed on Dean's research as his own which gained him comments he did not like such as from Pastor Jim "John, why isn't your demon research this good" and from Bobby it was worse such as "John, I did not know you had it in you, this is great and so extensive, detailed, accurate...". At that John had gone to a bar and left them to it.
