Note: In the fanfic, the events after season 6 didn't happen, neither did the purgatory/mother of all storyline.

Katherine PoV

I wake up and look at the clock. When I see it's 5:00 a.m., I go for a shower. As I walk past the two sleeping guys, all I can think of is to pull off a prank. It's been a long since I've controlled someone's dream. But what should it be? I walk in a circle with my robe, deciding what to make them dream about. Then I sit quietly by Sam's bed and manipulate his dream. I smile a little, thinking of what he's dreaming about right now. Now for Dean…For Dean I've thought of something special. I won't make him dream about unicorns and fairies like I did with his brother. I don't know what, but there's something about Dean…

After I get out of the shower, I see Sam smiling in his dream. I can't do anything but laugh, which makes him wake up.

"Unicorns? Seriously?!" he says with the 'are you kidding' face-type.

"Hmm. What, isn't that as good as I promised in that house?" I laugh.

"Ha-ha. Very funny, you and my brother are born for each other."

"Can't deny."

"You can't deny what?" I hear Dean saying, still sleepy.

"The girl you thought would be useful just made me dream about unicorns. You call that a bodyguard?"

"Unicorns?! No way! Sammy, were they pink or were they purple?" He laughs and his face lights up by his beautiful smile.

"See? 500 years and I still haven't lost my sense of humor" He reaches to give me a high-five.

"You two should date." Sam still has the annoyed expression on his face.

Dean suddenly stops laughing and it gets awkward. In order to interrupt the silence I clear my throat and say:

"Let's go get some burgers and see if there's a case. No need to rush for that stake."

"Found anything, Sammy?"

"Only Dean can call me like that."

"Yeah..okay if you find a case, call me. I'm going to ugh...eat" I wink at them and go towards the door when Dean interrupts me

"Where exactly are you going?" He looks concerned wheter I'm going to feed on someone or not.

"To the hospital. If you are just going to stay in that restaurant without doing anything you can come." They just look at me and don't move from their seats "I'll take that as a no. Oh and I forgot, here..." I look around, making sure nobody in the restaurant sees what i'm about to do. Then i bite my hand and let the blood drip in the empty glass that's next to Dean's burger. This makes them nervous, especially Sam." Don't look at me like that. My blood will heal you if you decide to do something stupid without me, so keep that in mind." I turn around and take a step to leave when I feel something wet on the back of my blouse. I automaticly turn to see Sam splashing holy water on me. "I get that you still don't trust me, but this was one of my favourite blouses, and since it's not sunny the water won't dry out that fast. So thank you, now I'm gonna have to change!" I am a little pissed, after we made a deal and I try to show with my behaviour that I'm helping, they still don't trust me.

Sam PoV

"There is nothing...No paranormal activity, no ghosts, nothing. I searched for that witch Katherine was talking about, but nothing."

Dean just nods for 'yes' and doesn't move his eyes away from the burger he's eating. He chews loudly, something usual for him, but I can see something's not right.

"Dean? Are you even listening?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm listening to every boring thing you say."

"I'm sorry, since when the job became 'boring' to you? Come on Dean, if there's something wrong you can tell me."

"No, no it's nothing...I'm sorry, I had a really weird dream. Anyways, maybe we should call Bobby to see if he's got anything?" He looks at me for a moment, then reaches for his pocket to get some money.

"You..you don't have to give money...Katherine, remember? Everything's easier. And what was that dream? I'm pretty sure she controlled yours too."

"No, Sam. It wasn't unicorns, or monkeys, or dragons, or anything like that. She probably did it only to you, I mean...You don't like her very much."

"Alright, let's just go to Bobby's and see if there's a case."

Katherine PoV

I look around the familiar place, which brings so much memories. After all these years, here I am - in the old Salvatores' house. Nothing changed, except for the fact that they're both gone. This place still looks good, no matter the fact it is abandoned. Good thing I know where they used to stack the blood. I could've easily gone in a hospital, like I said to the Winchesters, but I guess I needed something to remind me of the old me. The old me who didn't give a damn about anyone but herself. And now I'm helping two humans who would've killed me at the second if I didn't make a deal. I have no idea, but my emotions are messed up. Maybe because I kept dealing with them my whole life instaed of just turning them off. I just held it all in, no matter what happened. And here's the result - I keep saying they're turned off, when they're actually not. My emotions have vanished by the time,I feel and at the same time I don't. And I can't explain it, turns out I'm just a selfish bitch after all - everyone who said it was right.

I stood there for a while, now it's time to cut the crap and do what I need. I enter the next room when I hear a sound. By instinct, I go around to see if there's anyone . Maybe I'm going insane, who could it be?

"Not who, what" A familiar voice says. I am shocked, wasn't he dead ?!

"Stefan?!" My head is messed up, I can't think rationally.

"Guess again."

"Silas." Now I get angry. Calm down, I say to myself.

Sam PoV

I sit quietly in the car, I'm not in the mood. I have a bad feeling like something bad is about to happen. I notice Dean's expression. Something bothers him, but he tries to hide it like he always does.

"I know something's wrong. Tell me, it's about that dream, isn't it?"

He doesnt say anything. His eyes are focused on the road, while his hand reaches for the radio button. When the music starts, he turns it up, avoiding my question.

"Dean!" I stop the radio. This can't go on forever, he will tell me soon or early. "Tell me what's happening!" I'm yelling.

"Nothing! Nothing's happening, Sam! And that's the point. We do absolutely nothing. We haven't got a case since...since I don't know when. Something must be on, it's too quiet. No ghosts? No demons? Not even werewolfs. Nothing!" He is pissed, his croaky voice goes down fast.

Instead of saying anything, I look at him for a moment, then turn away.

"What's up with your number one survival rule? 'Humanity is the greatest weakness of a vampire'? What's going on with that, Katerina?"

"You son of a bitch. You did this didn't you? Well, I'm not going to just kill you. I'll give you what you deserve you evil bastard."

"Well, Katherine...Two of us can play that game. Remember the thing Dean dreamed about last night? It would be so much funnier if I change it. So what do you say?" His evil smile shows up, his eyes have fire.

"What exacly are you going to do, huh? I don't break easily, you of all people should know that. Just tell me what you want, and cut the crap."

"Oh hon, I want my peace again. As far as I remember, your friends couldn't stop me. But you little bitch ruined it, and I was forced to work for someone. Can you believe that?! All because of you."

"Wait, you're doing all this, making me weak with emotions, just because you want peace?! You're pathetic."

"That makes two of us. Anyways, you felt your life is in danger, didn't you..That's why you went searching for that stake at the first place."

All I see for a moment is a blurred figure pass right next to me, then he's all gone. I stand there for a moment, when with relief I feel the difference-my emotions are off again. God, I was starting to worry about how long I would've survive with feelings. I grab three stacks of blood, more than I need- I'm gonna have it as a dessert, just to calm myself from what just happened.
