So I finally get a weekend without Theatre till 9 at night, and I'm taking advantage of it. If you read this bless your soul for not deserting me when I didn't update sooner. You have no idea how much I've missed Fanfic-ing...

Chapter 12

Monday Afternoon

An hour and a half later I was getting out of the shower shaking out my hair. Castiel was already dressed in his four freaking layers of clothing. I don't know how he doesn't have a heat stroke.

Slipping on my pants and tank top I walked over to the couch where he was staring at the TV, which was playing Tom & Jerry. I sat on his right and rested my head on his shoulder.

"You know we can't tell them, right? The boys might get the wrong idea, and the girls would have been right about something." I said.

"Do people usually tell others after they have mated?" Castiel wondered. I laughed at his use of the word 'mated'.

"Well, boys usually brag about how they scored while girls usually give the details to their friends. But I'm not a normal girl and I think that it would be pretty creepy for my friends to know all about what I do in bed." I explained.

"Humans are confusing." He stated. I nodded my head in agreement and watched as a piano fell on Jerry's head, laughing when he came out looking like an accordion.

There was a knock on the door and I tensed. Sliding off of the couch I grabbed my pistol from my bag, and pointed it at the door, opening it a sliver I peered out.

"Jesus Olivia, you could have texted me!" I exclaimed, opening the door to let everyone in.

"I did, like twenty minutes ago." She said.

"You did?" I questioned, slipping my phone out of my back pocket to find that she was right. "You did. Sorry, I was in the shower." I threw my phone on my bed and put the gun in my belt, combing my wet hair back.

"Where's my pie?" I asked, turning to Dean. He held up his hands and nodded towards Maria.

She pulled something out from behind her back and set it on the table. I licked my lips and smiled at the pie.

"Oh that reminds me!" I said and grabbed four packs of the dozen cookies, throwing a pack at each of them. "Cas and I went to a restaurant in town, they said these were the best chocolate-chip cookies around."

"How come your bed isn't made?" Dean asked when Sam set his pack down on it. I wouldn't set my cookies there if I were you Sammy.

"I lost my phone after I sat down. I had to tear the bed apart to find it." I explained.

"Where was it, in your pocket?" Maria asked. I looked away and shrugged sheepishly.

"Maybe…" I turned back to them, smiling when they rolled their eyes.

"Oh Mackenzie, what are we going to do with you?" Olivia wondered.

"Gank a bunch of Vamps, that's what. Where did Bobby say that nest was?"

"There's an abandoned building near the rail road tracks that isn't nearly as abandoned as people think it is." Dean said.

"Do you have a rough estimate of how many there are?"

"Eight at the least, twelve at the most." Sam said.

"Alright, then are we ready to roll?" I asked, grabbing my katana and strapping it around my back. I smirked at my sword and pet it. "Who's a good deadly weapon? You are!" I whispered to it. I looked up and saw Dean staring at me.

"Hey if you can have your car, I can have my katana."

"That's not why I'm staring." He said smirking. I raised an eyebrow and he pointed at his neck in the same spot my Vampire bite was.

"Oh the Vamp bite,"

"No, no, no. The mark above it." He winked at me and I resisted the urge to punch him. Now everyone was staring at the hickey on my neck. I turned to Castiel and glowered at him.

"That's what the pizza man did." He told me, not at all phased by the fact that now everyone knew. I guess he didn't realize that everyone knew, he really is a child.

"Oh Cas. Not now." I walked over to him and patted the top of his head.

"You're not getting out of this that easily. We're talking about this later." Maria pointed at me. I groaned and crossed my arms.

"No, we're not. Now can we please just go kill some Vampires?" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, but are you sure you're not too tired girly? I hear people get pretty exhausted afte-" Olivia started but was cut off when I threw one of my fake ID's at her.

"Alright! I get it, sex takes work and work takes energy. I'm good, let's go." I said. Dean opened his mouth to say something but I pointed at him.

"And if I hear a peep from you I will make sure you never enjoy another pie again." I threatened.

"Sir, yes sir!" He mock saluted, Sam punched his arm for me.

"Thanks Sammy."

I handed the girls the 25 room key and gave the 24 room key to the boys. Putting my phone back in my pocket I ushered everyone out the door, locking it behind me. I turned around and walked straight into a trench coat.

Castiel was looking up, like he was focused on something. From my experience, that usually means that someone else needs him, official angel business or whatever.

"Cas, maybe you shouldn't come. I wouldn't want to inconvenience you, if we need help, we'll call." I gave him a peck on his lips and left when he nodded.

I walked to the Impala and jumped in the back with the girls. When I looked to where I had left Castiel I found that he was already gone. I sighed and jumped in next to Maria, she was always in the middle since she was the smallest.

"Yeah, and our heads were in the gutter." Maria muttered.

"Girl, her head was anywhere but the gutter." Olivia added.

"Not if the gutter was Castiel's-"

"Hey, hey, hey! Let's not go anywhere near there. You two need to stay focused on the Vamps. You do remember the last time I took on a nest, right?" I reminded them.

They instantly shut up and looked away. That wasn't a good case, it's definitely not one we like to remember.

"What did you say that mark was, not the hickey. The mark above it." Dean clarified.

"Yeah didn't you say that you were a Vampire one time?" Sam asked.

I sighed. "Yeah, I was a Vamp for a little while before I found out there was a cure."

Flashback

"Olivia, stay on the phone. Do you have a visual? I think I found the nest, but I'm not entirely sure. So far I've only seen about five Vamps." I reported into the phone.

It was a dark night, clouds covered the stars from my sight. I was just outside of a rundown gym on the edge of town. It had closed down decades ago, but nobody has bothered to knock it down or anything.

I assumed Maria could see it perfectly though. They had attached a small camera on me so they could help to be my eyes. At least that was what they told me it was for. But I knew they wanted to make sure I was okay.

"Maybe you shouldn't go in without a partner. You could get hurt and-"

"I know the risks darling, that's why you set up the stupid camera thing. You'll be able to know what's happening, so if I'm dead you won't come running into a trap." Before I could say anything else I heard a woman's scream coming from inside the gym.

"Shit." I muttered before shutting my phone and dashing in, machete in hand.

I ran into the room where the screaming was coming from. In the middle of it was a woman tied to a chair, with two Vamps heading her way.

I snuck up on the closest one to me, and with one swift swoop his head was on the ground. The other one turned and glared at me.

"Oops? Was that your boyfriend? Sorry you won't be able to live long enough to get legally married." I put my hand on my heart in mock sorrow.

He showed his fangs and lunged, knocking my machete out of my hand. He shoved me back and threw himself onto me, holding my hands down so I couldn't attack.

"You're not as good as everyone makes you out to be." He teased.

I grunted and roared my legs up, kicking him off and over me. Scrambling up I grabbed my machete and climbed on top of him.

"Nope, I'm better." I whispered before lowering the machete into his neck, cutting it off his shoulders.

I exhaled and walked over to the woman. Crouching down to get on her level I started to untie her.

"Miss, it's okay you're gonna be fine. I have friends that have visuals on us right now, smile for the camera." I said once I finished on her arms I started on her feet.

"Okay." She said in a creepily calm voice.

I looked up to see her gums sprouting sharp, deadly fangs. I turned to grab my machete but her hands were around my neck in an instant, holding me above the ground as she stood up.

"Ah, ah, ah. We wouldn't want you to accidentally cut yourself, would we now?" She said with fake sincerity.

I clawed at her hands, desperate to get air. I looked behind her and saw three other Vampires emerging from the shadows.

"What should we do with her?" One asked. The head Vamp sighed.

"I'm not sure, we can think about it while she's napping." She suggested.

By them my vision was becoming blurry. But I could still make out the smile her sharp teeth were forming.

"Nighty night, don't let the Vampires bite." She said before slamming my head into the wall.

When I woke up I was sitting in a chair, my hands tied to it behind me. I tried to move my feet, only to find they were tied down as well. I felt warm, sticky liquid running down the left side of my neck. I blinked rapidly and looked around me.

There was a table a coupled feet away, and I could just make out the camera the girls had put on me. Great, they could see everything that was going to happen. I smiled tiredly at them, and opened my mouth to say something when a door opened and several footsteps came in behind me.

"Did you feed on me?" I asked without looking up.

"Good, she's awake. Smile for the camera." The leader said. "Oh, and yes, we did. We all took turns."

"You make it sound so dirty." I smiled and winked at one of the other Vampires. "I like that."

That earned me a hard punch to the face. My head went flying in the opposite direction and I barely contained my grunt of pain.

"Now that wasn't appropriate, was it? Especially not when he's about to become your new brother." She said.

I looked up at her quickly. "What are yo-" I was cut off with a jab to the stomach that took my breath away.

"Did I say you could speak? I don't think I did. Anyways, let's get down to business, shall we?"

After no answer came from me she continued.

"You see, we don't like you. And we know that you don't like us. So we figured the only way for you to stop killing us, is for you to walk eternity in our shoes. All of us here have been humans once in our lives, and we like being monsters better. Who's to say you won't feel that same way?" She stepped behind me, and was now playing with my hair.

"I would never feel the same way as a blood thirsty monster." I spat.

She jerked my head back by my hair and whispered in my left ear. "You're about to."

Out of the corner of my eye I saw her take a bite out of her arm. I looked at the camera on the table and shook my head, hopefully they wouldn't come for me. She raised her wrist to my neck and spread the blood over the Vampire bite.

When she was done she threw my head down and stood up, circling back around so I could see her.

"Where should we drop her off boys? Perhaps somewhere, public." Then, turning to me. " Now, say goodbye to your friends for us, wish them a happy life." She said.

I looked from her to the camera and furrowed my eyebrows, until I watched her drop it on the floor and smash it. Damn it.

I was starting to get weary, my eyelids getting heavy. My blood was rushing in my ears, beating too fast to be healthy.

"Get some rest, your gonna need your energy to feed." She said before I blacked out again.

When I woke up I could hear everything that was going on. I blinked but even the street lights at the end of the alley were too bright.

An alley, they dropped me in an alley. Cars were passing by, people were walking and talking, dogs barking, cats scratching. It was all too much.

I got up slowly and covered my ears, peering through the darkness and towards the blinding light. At least they had the heart to drop me off at night.

I had to find out where I was so I could call the girls, tell them to send someone so they weren't the ones to end me. But I was still too dizzy, using the alley wall for support I stumbled to the opening.

A couple stray people were strolling down the sidewalk, living a happy and normal life. They didn't know how good they had it. They didn't know the terrors that people like me protect them from.

I took a left and walked with my head down, trying to avoid any and all people. There were street lights that were now as bright as the sun, I could barely open my eyes.

I clutched my stomach as I finally noticed the sharp pain, like it was regurgitating itself. I've been hungry before, but this was the worst case of starvation I've ever had.

A car horn honked somewhere a block away, but it felt as though it was right next to my ears. I stumble and fell from the impact of my new super senses. Heavy footsteps came patting towards me, and I could hear the blood rushing through the man's body before he came five steps away from me.

"Hey, are you okay?" He all but screamed. When I felt him touch my shoulder I jumped and squinted up at him. I pushed him away and crawled towards a building.

"Stay away." I warned. My throat was dry and itchy. My voice coming out painfully scratchy.

He held up his hands in surrender but didn't walk away, making me hungrier by the second.

"Do you have anyone I could call?" He asked.

I shook my aching head and reached for my cell phone, only to find that it wasn't there. The Vamps must have taken it away from me. I sighed and held out my hand for the phone he held up.

I dialed Olivia's number and waited.

"Hello?" A heavy voice came.

"Olivia, it's me." I whispered.

"Mackenzie?!" She screamed, causing me to wince.

"Not so loud!" I complained.

"Sorry, we thought you were dead, or close to it."

"Well I'm not, but I'm starting to wish I was."

"Have you fed?" She asked.

"No, of course not. I would rather gank myself."

"Good! Look, we found a cure. Tell us where to meet you and we'll be there in a heartbeat."

I looked around and found that I was in the town the Vamps nest was near. They had probably cleared their nest and was long gone.

"Meet me at the case sighting. You remember where it is? I think my phone is still there if you need to track it."

"Yeah, we'll be there in a couple of hours. Just get there and stay put, and whatever you do don't feed. Or else the cure won't work."

"Got it, and Olivia?"

"Yeah?"

"Hurry."

I hung up and handed him the phone. Standing up by myself I used the wall for support.

"Thank you." I nodded at him then started walking the opposite direction, towards the Vamp Nest.

As it turned out I was about four miles away from the gym. So I had to either walk the entire way or grab a cab. But I couldn't trust myself to be stuck in a car with a possible snack.

I felt something pinch my gums. Looking in a window of a store I pulled my upper lip up and found that my fangs were starting to come in. I combed my hair out of my face and continued walking.

Avoiding all streetlights and main roads I found my way to the forest just as the sun was started peeking over the horizon, burning my retnas.

By then my throat felt like someone had poured lava down it, I was so thirsty I could barely comprehend that I had almost passed the gym. There was a car parked in front of the building, and two people were just going inside.

I started walking towards it but found that the sun was way too bright. I took off my jacket and put it above my head to block out the dangerous rays. The gym wasn't too far away from the forest line, so if I sprinted it shouldn't be too painful.

When I got to the door I walked through the rooms towards the sound of rushing blood.

"Olivia, you might want to start that cure thing, cause I don't think I can hold back for much lo-" I stopped when I saw the two people in the building.

They weren't the girls, they were the exact opposite. Two big men had turned towards me with machetes in their hands. They were hunters who were looking for the nest that had already left. But now they had found a Vampire, me.

I held up my hands when they started towards me.

"Stay back." I warned. But they didn't listen. One of them swung, but I ducked and grabbed his arm, twisting it until he dropped the machete.

The other one, a blonde, charged as soon as I let his partner go. He grabbed me from behind and held my arms back, he was so close I could smell the blood rushing through his veins.

I wanted to taste it, to feel the blood drain from his body. I wanted it so badly that I felt my fangs poke out of my mouth. I was so focused on trying not to drain their veins that I didn't realize the blonde had put me on my knees.

The first one was back up, machete in hand. I was praying for him to kill me, to stop me from killing him. Just as he was about to swing a voice stopped him.

"No!" Maria called out. "Let her go, she's a hunter you morons." She came running forward and grabbed the machete out of his hands.

"But it's a Vampire, it's teeth had come out." He said.

"First off, that is a lady. Show some respect." Olivia said, coming in behind Maria. "And secondly, if she was dangerous she would be fighting back right now. Look at her, she hasn't hurt anyone."

The blonde dropped my arms and I instantly stood up and stepped away from them and into a corner.

"Just hurry up and get the cure, I can't hold back much longer." I warned.

"We need that bitch's blood for this to work." Olivia said.

"I think some of it dripped on the chair or floor when she turned me." I said.

The girls nodded and set to work, but I didn't pay attention to them. I was too busy trying not to rip out the hunters' throats. They wouldn't stop watching me, making sure I wasn't going to lunge or something.

"Here, drink this." Olivia handed me this green liquid.

"That's all I have to do?" I questioned, it seemed too easy.

"Well, it's not gonna be a pleasant experience, and the taste probably won't be much better." Maria warned.

I nodded and gulped the disgusting liquid down. At first nothing happened, I was about to ask if someone screwed something up, when it happened.

My lungs emptied of air, bringing me down to my knees. I tried to get in a single breath but I couldn't, instead my fangs came popping painfully out. When my lungs finally start working again I dropped to my stomach, wheezing in air.

Then there was too much air, too much everything. I lifted myself onto my hands and knees and barfed my guts out. And let me tell you, that cure didn't taste any better the second time around.

Once my stomach was empty I lifted my face towards the ceiling and opened my arms, clenching my fists from the pain.

My fangs receded back into my gums, it felt as though someone had jammed them back in there with tweezers.

When they were all the way in I relaxed and dropped to my hands again, panting to catch my breath. The girls rushed over and helped me up, forcing me to lean on at least one of them for support. I smiled at them, with normal teeth, and said "That wasn't too bad."

"Oh yeah, it sure seemed like it." Maria said skeptically.

"If you don't mind, we'd like to get back to killing monsters." One of the men said.

I looked up and glared at him, then stood up by myself and crossed my arms. "Oh, you mean like when you tried to kill me?" I asked rhetorically.

When he didn't respond I continued. "Good luck with that, the remaining Vamps should be long gone by now. Have fun chasing them."

With that I ushered the girls outside and to the car, we haven't seen those hunter, or Vampires, again.

End

"Yeah, that was a disgusting cure, it tasted like butt." Dean said.

"You've been a Vamp too? Glad I'm not the only one, and I think it tasted like butt dipped in sewage." I corrected.

"Can we not talk about butt-sewage please?" Olivia asked.

"Seriously, it's just, gross." Maria added.

"You'll have to face a lot worse than gross with this job." I reminded them. Though I knew they could handle it, without screaming is a different story.

"You ain't kidding." Dean stated.

"Wait, let me get this straight. You tried to take out an entire Vampire nest by yourself." Sam clarified.

"Yeah, so?" I asked, shrugging.

"So? So? You could have gotten yourself killed! You're never supposed to take on a nest by yourself."

"Well I'm sorry but I didn't know any other hunters that would treat me like one of the guys! I've never had a partner, and I hadn't met any others that wouldn't tell me to stay home or that it was too dangerous. I didn't need anyone treating me like a kid when I was never able to be one." I explained, barely raising my voice.

He didn't say anything else, nobody did. The girls had never seen me talk about my childhood before, and they weren't going to now.

Five minutes later Dean pulled over and out of sight.

"We're here." He said.

"Where? All I see are rail road tracks." Maria wondered.

"You can't just pull up to a Vamp nest and alert them. We walk from here." I told them, opening the door and stepping out.

"Thanks for the warning Mackenzie, you know I'm not athletic." Olivia whined.

"Yet another reason why I don't want you two actually hunting once I'm gone. You can only use these skills for protection, or if something comes into town. But that's it."

"Yes mother. We promise to never hunt unless we must." Maria said robotically.

I smiled to myself, I've taught them so well.

"How do we plan on doing this?" I asked Dean as we hid behind a train cart.

"We're supposed to have a plan?" He asked turning to look at me. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my katana, holding it in my hand.

"You're always supposed to have a plan, even if it's just not dying." I explained.

"That usually is our plan." Sam whispered.

"No wonder you guys need a guardian angel." I muttered. I turned around to face everyone, we were in a little circle. From left to right it went me, Sam, Olivia, Maria, and Dean.

"How about, Sam and Olivia cover the entrance. Dean and Maria cover the exit, and I'll go in head first. That way when they run they'll have nowhere to go but to you guys. And if any go off course, I'll gank 'em." I suggested.

"Well that's as good a plan as any." Dean said and shrugged.

"Yeah, sounds good to me." Sam said.

"Great." I turned towards the girls. "Stay by them, don't go wandering anywhere. The Vamps can hear and smell you well before you can even get close to them." I warned.

"Sounds terrifying. I'm ready." Maria said.

"Yeah, let's get this over with." Olivia shrugged.

"It'll never be over with." I whispered low enough so that only I could hear it, because it seemed like only I knew it.


Thanks for sticking with me this long, it means more than you know.
