Disclaimer: I have no claims to the show Supernatural, the characters or themes, I just like to play with the characters, tease, torture, caress and the rest!! Don't shoot the writer!

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 05

Before: 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!

Now Pastor Jim and Bobby after sifting though the research had the following thoughts mainly because they knew John well and realized that not only was this not John's research but John was definitely hiding something. Not only had he removed the last names of the families and substituted others but had changed the location of the happenings. What really gave it away was the final name on the list simply called Mary. I guess it was the similarity of the name to John's wife that made them check out Lawrence records first and after that they quickly put it all together and then they really started to work on the problem. If John was scared to tell them the truth, they understood (where a little hurt but understood), finding out that one of your sons if a Dhampir is a shock especially to a hunter. They did have a few questions such as how had the child survived so long?, was he becoming uncontrollable? but mainly what the heck was John thinking not telling them the truth? and finally what was John going to do about Sam now - Yup they too thought it was Sam mainly because Dhampir did not survive long without showing some definite signs that something was wrong.

It was at this point that Pastor Jim thought of calling Dean and asking how Sammy was.. To which he got Sam was fine, quiet as usual and everything was ok and the question where did you get this number. Pastor Jim was about to say John had popped in when Bobby's eyes opened wide, if Sam was quiet then the only other child was Dean but that was impossible wasn't it. So Jim simply said that John always kept him upto date on contact numbers just in case, which Dean seemed to accept. Then the pastor ended the phone call and told Bobby that they now had to find a solution and quickly. Unfortunately for them, they came to the same conclusion that John did, there was no solution, no charm, no way to change a Dhampir back into a regular human. There where charms and amulets that would reduce the effects but those where part legend and not even pastor Jim or Bobby could find a reference on how to make one or even what one looked like. There where references but those where written down by a priest who unfortunately was now passed on. Pastor Jim referred to him as a mentor and a great hunter now sadly long gone. There was a note found in the back of one of his many notebooks that said he had given a amulet to one of his parishioners but whether it was something that could help, it did not say. At that point Bobby was willing to hunt down the pendent and tear it from the person's neck to give to Dean. Pastor Jim calmed him by saying that it was not right to save one Dhampir and destroy another just because they knew Dean well and anyway with a shrug of his shoulders he admitted that they did not know if it was the right pendent. He did not say that if he could know for sure it was, Jim would help tear it from the person's neck.

When John returned after a few days hoping for some answers, but there where none to give him and Bobby actually confronted him with the facts and asked the big question "Was it Dean?" and John looked at his friends and his shoulders dropped and he said Yes! Now there where no choices, no future, Dean was going to have to be dealt with, one way or another. Pastor Jim and Bobby could not fault the logic, Dean was a Dhampir and therefore had to be dealt with but how. Neither Pastor Jim, Bobby or John wanted to face the reality of the situation, there had to be another way, none of them wanted to stake Dean Winchester Dhampir or not!

It was then that John realized that he trusted Dean, trusted him with his life, and the safety of Sam and most of all to guard his back. He also knew that he would only kill him if he actually turned bad. So he would have to make sure that never happened even if it ruined him as a father. What Bobby wanted to know was where the kid had been getting hold of human blood, he just did not know how to ask, so being Bobby he came out with it straight and after John had recovered from the shock of being asked, Bobby had to recover from the broken nose and Pastor Jim had to stop the shouting match. But the question had to be answered and the truth was that bit John had figured out, and had to admit that he had helped, to which Pastor Jim had to be stopped from shouting. Let's just say that both Bobby and John discovered that for all the holy hunter and priest work, Jim knew more colorful phrases then either of them and a few sailors put together when he was annoyed and man was he pissed now!

John explained further when things had calmed down and got down to probably how's, such as when John came back hurt, it was Dean who always cleaned him up and stitched any wounds so of course the kid on nights like these always ended up with blood on his hands. Thus John's hunts or rather the mistakes he made had been keeping Dean well and truly in the blood he needed to keep sane. Now John understood why after stitching him up on their last hunt together, Dean had dashed to the bathroom. It was obvious all the other times it had been dried blood or a few drops but that night it was fresh and running and God how had Dean managed to patch him up. Shaking his head John realized Dean had gone though hell that night without even a word. It was about now that Bobby jumped up and spoke about the only words said in Dean's defense. If John was right then Dean was fighting it or at the very least learning to live with it and not endanger his family, so why not leave the kid alone to handle it himself. So it was decided right then and there that they would allow Dean to deal with this. He had dealt with it for years and would be if for no other reason a great hunter because of this. So they promised each other that no word of this would spread outside the three of them. Dean would be safe for now or would he??? John had decided that to make sure that Dean would be able to handle himself, he was going to put him though a Dhampir hell if need be and his training was going to be made harder. It might cost him a son in more ways then one but he would know the truth and he hoped that the truth was Dean would be OK. Of course Bobby had also decided to make sure Dean was dealt with! and as for Pastor Jim collar or no, Dean was a danger that he would have to deal with personally, however much he loved the boy as a son.
