Sam was completely blind. He could not see an inch in front of him. Everywhere he looked it was all black. He also dropped the claw of Kripke upon being attacked by Jenna. And to top it all off his vampire bite wound was acting up again. His breathing became short and he once again felt weak. Sam could hear the vampires laughing somewhere in the room. As Sam continued to blindly walk through the room Ryan silently dropped from the ceiling from up above him and grabbed Sam from behind. As he grabbed Sam's head and prepared to snap his neck Sam resorted to a pretty underhanded technique (in his mind anyway). He grabbed Ryan's hand brought it down to his mouth and bit it. Ryan shouted out and let go of Sam who quickly delivered an uppercut to his jaw. As Ryan fell back Sam fell to the floor and started to try to find the claw, when Jenna stepped right in front of him blocking his path.

"Looking for this?" Jenna asked as she held up the claw. She then kicked Sam in the face causing him to fall onto the floor. As he lay there Jenna sat on top of him holding the claw in front of his face daring him to try to grab it. Sam made an attempt, but Jenna quickly pulled the claw back and grabbed both of Sam's arms. She put the claw down and pinned both Sam's arms to his sides with her knees.

"Such as shame we had to meet as enemies Sam," Jenna said as she put her hands on Sam's head. "But hey, I have my orders. I can still have some fun with you though Sam by slowly sucking your delicious blood out of your neck," Jenna said with an evil smile.

"Go ahead it's not like I can stop you," Sam casually said. With that statement Jenna bent down, but just when she was a few inches from Sam's face Sam slammed his own head into her head. Jenna fell off Sam, who immediately grabbed the claw, pinned Jenna to the floor and sliced off her head.

"Jenna, nooooooo!!!" Ryan shouted giving away his position.

Sam heard Ryan's anguished screams and immediately turned around in time to get tackled by not only Ryan, but Billy as well, which was a big mistake on their part. As they hit the wall Sam wasted no time and sliced off both of their heads.

"Four down one to go," Sam said to himself as finally found the basement door and walked out. Figuring the leader would want to stick around the food Sam headed back to the where the party had been. As he walked he heard something from the ceiling and looked up.

"Welcome back Sam!" Jake shouted as he fell down to the floor. "Well it seems you took out my friends. Before I kill you Sam I have to say thanks." Sam had a puzzled look on his face at this comment. "I guess you're confused Sam, well allow me to explain. In short my friends were dead weight and were some of the worst fighters known to man… er vampires oh you get the point. Jenna would rather flirt with the enemy than fight. Chris was just plain weak. Ryan could take a no lose situation and turn it in the complete opposite direction and Billy… ok there wasn't a lot wrong with him, but judging by the fact that you're still standing means he must have messed up somehow. Despite their flaws I figured if they all fought you first you would be weak enough for me to easily finish off. Fighting all of them with that vampire bite didn't help much either did it? And now without any further delay, FIGHT!"

Sam could almost imagine Dean shouting out "MORTAL KOMBAT" if he were here. Sam started of the battle swinging the claw and missing Jake's head by only a few inches. Jake took this moment to tackle Sam and pin him up against the wall. He grabbed Sam's arm and squeezed it with all his strength causing the weakened Sam too drop his weapon. Jake then exposed his fangs and went in for a bite, but Sam grabbed his head and attempted to keep it away. However since Sam was below half strength Jake wasn't held back long and sank his fangs into Sam's neck. Sam quickly kneed Jake in his private area forcing him off. Sam threw another punch aimed at Jake's face. However Jake grabbed Sam's arm and kneed him in his stomach. Jake then threw several more punches at Sam hitting him in his chest, stomach, shoulder and finally his face. Sam went down and then Jake started to mercilessly punch Sam's face.

After hitting it five times Jake stopped and said "You disappoint me Sam. I was hoping for a better fight from you regardless of you're handicap." Jake took another swing at Sam. "I guess it's true what they say. There really always is a weak link in every family. Well once I'm finished with you I have a whole room full of party goers to feast on and I think I'll start off with your pretty little girlfriend Sam."

"No," Sam thought. "I won't let you take her!" Sam shouted. Sam grabbed Jake and threw him off. Getting to his feet Sam kicked Jake in the face forcing him back. "Now it's my turn," Sam threatened and began to punch Jake hard in the face. Jake however was un-phased and stopped Sam's onslaught with his arm before kicking Sam in the stomach. As Sam backed up Jake sent another kick at Sam. Sam caught it and twisted Jake's foot causing him to once again fall. However, it seemed that no matter what Sam did Jake could handle it no problem. Realizing he was fighting a losing battle Sam searched the floor for the claw and saw it. Right. Behind. Jake. "Perfect," Sam thought. Making a hasty decision Sam charged Jake a slid right under him. As he did Jake turned and saw Sam grab the claw. Jake quickly delivered a spin kick to Sam's hand knocking the claw away from Sam. He attempted to make a grab for it, but Jake stopped Sam and pinned him to the floor. He then proceeded to choke the life out of Sam. Sam attempted to break free, but it was no use. Whatever strength he had left was gone. And just out of arm's reach was the claw. Sam outstretched his hand to grab it, but he wasn't close enough. At that precise moment Sam felt a searing pain in his head. He didn't know where it had come from. Everything started to go black as Jake continued to strangle Sam. Sam couldn't believe it. After everything he had fought this was how it was going to end. Death by strangulation. And worse Sam had failed everyone even Jessica. He never even had a chance to tell her how he felt about her.

"Say goodnight Sam," Jake said as he continued his attack. "No. I won't let this happen," Sam thought. I won't let you kill these people. I won't let you kill Jess!" It was at that moment that Sam's headache increased and then Sam saw the claw float right into his hand. Sam then threw the claw with all his might at Jake's head slicing it off completely. Sam pushed Jake's headless body off of him and stared at the claw. He was pretty sure he didn't imagine it float into his hand. But how is the question. He was normal… wasn't he? Sam decided he would worry about that later and figured he better dispose of the bodies before everyone woke up. Sam took all the corpses and their heads out of the campus before throwing them all in a pre-dug whole made by a couple of his classmates as a school prank that never came to pass as Sam ratted them out. He then salted and burned their bodies with some supplies he kept in his dorm for just in case purposes and went back to the party. By the time he got back he saw everyone was already heading out.

"Hey Sam!" Jessica shouted out to get his attention. Seeing Jessica alright, Sam ran to her and wrapped her in a giant hug. "Um Sam…can't breath," Jessica said weakly.

"Oh sorry Sam," apologized. "What happened in there?"

"More importantly, what happened to you?" Jessica asked noticing Sam's bandaged neck as well as his black eyes.

"Me and five drunk and rowdy partiers got into a fight," Sam half lied since he really did get into a fight.

"Are you ok?" Jessica asked with concern.

"Just a real bad headache," Sam replied.

"You should definitely go to the infirmary Sam," Jessica said more as a demand then a suggestion.

"But Jess," Sam started

"Don't you "Jess" me Sam. Move it," Jessica commanded.

Having learned earlier in the year that it was pointless to try to win an argument with Jessica Sam agreed.

The Infirmary

"Back again Sam?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, but this time I'm the one who's hurt."

"I can see that what happened to you?"

"Just a fight with a couple of drunk students," Sam lied. "I'm ok, but I need some pain medication. I have a really bad headache."

"Figured you'd come in here for that one of these days considering all the studying you do. Here catch," the doctor said as he threw some medicine for headaches to Sam.

"Thanks," Sam said as he began to walk away.

"Take it easy Sammy." Sam immediately stopped in his tracks at the mention of his childhood nickname.

"What did you call me?"

"Sammy. Something wrong with that name?"

"No it's just that no one's called me that since my freshmen year at one of the many high schools I attended."

"Sam, did any one tell you that you worry too much?"

"Yeah I guess your right. Thanks again." And with that Sam headed out of the infirmary.

The doctor then began to chuckle to himself as Sam walked out his office door. "Oh Sammy Sammy," the Yellow Eyed Demon said too himself. "Looks like your powers are finally starting too kick in. I knew going at it with a couple of vampires would get that demon blood of yours pumping. Though I did half expect you to run when I left that ominous message on the wall as well as knocking out the entire campus with Billy's sleeping powder, which I mixed into the school's plumbing system. Should be free of the stuff by now. I hope you learned a valuable lesson though. Once you're a hunter it's for life. I hope you come to that conclusion soon Sammy," Azazel continued talking to himself as he lifted up a picture of Jessica. "I wouldn't want to resort to…drastic measures to make you realize that." Azazel then set Jessica's picture on fire and began to smile evily.

Sam's dorm

Sam took his pills before finally going to sleep. As he slept he hoped that he would never have to go threw another round of his old life. All he wants is to be normal. Suddenly Sam's headache returned and he sat up in with his head throbbing. "What the heck," Sam thought. Sam then felt something dripping onto his head. He looked up towards the ceiling and terror filled his soul. Pinned up at the ceiling was Jessica. "Why Sam?" She asked before her body caught fire and consumed the entire room as well as Sam. Sam woke up from his dream in cold sweat and his heart beating faster than a machine gun could fire.

"Calm down Sam. It was only a dream," Sam thought. "Or was it? No Sam it was only a dream plain and simple. It was a dream. There was nothing supernatural about it." Sam's cell phone began to ring at that moment and he answered it.

"Hello."

"Hey Sammy," came Dean's voice on the other line.

"Hey Dean, how's it going."

"It's great Sam. The stunning beauty that is the Impala is now all mine and you won't believe how many girls I've picked up with it. Speaking of girls did you explain to Sarah how it was all a one night stand and nothing serious?"

"I did as a matter of fact. She didn't take it that well. She actually tried to punch me since I was the closest thing to you. I reacted on instinct and blocked here punch before giving here a bloody nose. However since half the campus couldn't stand her I got quite a lot of praise even from Jessica."

"Who's Jessica Sammy?"

"She's just a friend Dean."

"Yeah right. So did you have to use the claw at all Sam?"

Sam hesitated before saying "No I didn't, but thanks for leaving it for me."

"No problem," Dean replied knowing that Sam was lying. Dean figured that if Sam wants to tell him then he will one of these days. He really didn't have time to force him to talk anyway as he was coming up on the location of his latest case anyway.

"I got to go now Sam. Me and dad are coming up on the town of are next hunt."

"Um how is dad Dean?

"Why? Do you want to talk to him?"

"Just tell him to stay safe. Bye Dean."

"So long Sam. Tell your "friend" Jessica I said hello."

"Dean it's not like… oh never mind bye."

Sam hung up his phone and lay back down in bed and tried once again to sleep. Blood started to drip on his face and Jessica asked "Why Sam?" and the entire room caught fire again. Sam woke up and decided to go for a walk to clear his head. What if what he was seeing was true? He couldn't live with himself if something bad happened to Jessica. He walked out of his dorm and back towards the abandoned building where he was surprised to find.

"Jessica?"

"You couldn't sleep either Sam. Whatever was in that punch really did a number on me. My head is killing me."

"Yeah mine too," Sam said as he continued to stare at Jessica. "Why can't I just tell her I like her," Sam thought.

"Sam. Helloooo. Have you been paying attention to a word I've said?"

But Sam wasn't paying attention. Instead he walked closer to Jessica and without any hesitation kissed her fully on the mouth. After they broke apart Jessica smiled and began to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Sam asked wondering if he was that bad of a kisser.

"It's just that it took you longer than I thought it would for you to kiss me."

"Wait a minute. You knew that I liked you."

"I knew. Jack knew. Sarah knew. Heck the entire campus knew. You know people were actually placing bets on how long it would take for you to admit that you liked me?" Jessica asked as she continued to laugh.

Sam rolled his eyes and started to laugh himself. He outstretched his hand and asked "Can I walk you back to your dorm?"

"Sure Sam," Jessica replied taking his hand. As the two walked away Azazel observed the events from atop of the abandoned building. "Look's like I might have to resort to those drastic measures after all."

The End

A/N: The location of Dean's new hunt is the one in the episode "Route 666". Also the reason for Sam's demonic powers activating earlier than they should was half due to him facing certain death at the hands of Jake and also because he was in such close proximity to Azazel. Please review.
