Layla's hands moved swiftly along the keyboard of her laptop. A series of murders had occurred in the little town of Greensboro, Maryland. It was strange; the condition of the bodies. All were completely skinned and a black slimy substance covered there bodies. She was intrigued and she knew the Winchester brothers would be as well.
Dean paced back and forth as Sam read him the messages Layla Laramore had sent him.
"The bodies are completely skinned. Some black slimy substance is coating there bodies. I think it's a demon. I don't know what kind though. I hope this helps you guys."
Dean couldn't wrap his head around what was happening. Neither of the brothers had ever heard of such a thing. It certainly had them stumped just as much as Layla.
"Maybe we should have Layla tag along. She grew up in Greensboro. It could be helpful," Sam suggested. Sam knew Dean would object at first because he had feelings for Layla. He would never admit it though, at least not until she admitted her feelings towards him. She had gushed about him to Sam plenty of times, but he was sworn to secrecy.
Dean stopped in front dining room table and stared at Sam, eyebrow raised and a finger pointed at his brother. "You really think I'm going to put her in any danger. You are fucking crazy."
"Dean, I'm telling you she could be useful. She knows everything to know about demons. She knows everything about the area the murders are taking place at." Sam tried his hardest to persuade his brother, much like all the other times.
"If she gets hurt, I'm going to kill you."
Sam smiled at his achievement, "I promise she won't."
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Layla heard her phone ring from the kitchen. She quickly removed the computer from her lap and rushed towards the kitchen.
She stared down at the caller-ID. Her heart began to flutter as she saw Dean's name flash across the screen.
Quickly, she pushed her feelings aside and answered the phone confidently, "Hey you!"
Layla's voice made feelings of lust and love rise within Dean, "Hey, sweetheart."
The words that flowed from his mouth made Layla very nervous. Of course she had had boyfriends before and she had been in love, but what she felt for Dean was much different. She admired his deep green eyes and the conceited way he carried himself. He thought he was the shit, but Layla found the trait to be very arousing coming from Dean. He was handsome, he had every right to act the way he did. She would never admit to Dean her feelings though. At least not until Dean admitted his feelings for her. She doubted he took any interest in her though.
"Sam and I think you should come along with us to investigate these murders. I mean, if you want. You can say no. I'll understand."
Layla had never been on a hunt before. All she knew was what she studied. She knew how to kill a demon and she knew how to exercise a person as well, but never wanted to be in the line of fire.
"…That makes me kind of nervous. I've never thought about dealing with a demon in person."
A soft sigh escaped Dean's lips, "You don't have to deal with the demon. I wouldn't let you anyway."
A smile spread across Layla's lips as Dean basically said he would protect her. She laughed softly, "Then why do I need to come?"
"Sam thinks since you are familiar with the area it could help us. Didn't you say weird things have been happening there every since you were a kid?"
Dean was going to make her think of memories she wanted to push as far away as possible. Her childhood and adolescence was anything but normal.
"Yeah. If it would help… I guess I'll come. You guys could stay at my place. I'm only an hour or two away from the town."
Sensual thoughts came to Dean's dirty mind as he thought about staying at Layla's home. There was no reason for it, but it was just how he thought about things. "That sounds great. We'll be there by seven."
"Alrighty. See you guys then. Bye Dean."
"Goodbye, sweetheart."
Gabriella suddenly became very nervous. She'd had a man she adored living with her for days and her best friend there to make fun of them both. One day Dean would find out her feelings toward him and I wouldn't feel so alone anymore. But until then, she had to play the friend card.
