"Yeah," Bobby's gruff voice came over the line.

"It's me," Sam answered, "Any news?" Sam continued.

"I haven't heard anything, sorry Sam," Bobby replied.

"We've been searching for days, and there's still no sign of them," Sam said hopelessly.

"We'll find them."


"Morning," Dean murmured as Jade opened her eyes.

"Morning," she answered sleepily.

"I'm going to see if I can get a phone, I need to call Sam. He's probably going crazy trying to find us."

"I'll come with you," Jade replied as they got out of bed. Neither of them had thought anything of sharing the bed as they collapsed into it last night, it just seemed right.


"Dean, Jade, I hope you slept well?" Kevin greeted them.

"Well enough," Dean responded, "Do you have a phone I can use?"

"Of course," he said as he pulled a cell phone out of his jacket pocket.

"Thanks." Kevin walked away to give them some privacy and Dean quickly dialed his brother's number. Sam answered after one ring.

"Hello," the voice was gravelly and defeated.

"Sammy," Dean said fondly.

"Dean!" Sam answered, "Where are you? Are you okay? Is Jade with you?" He asked in a rush.

"Slow down Sammy, we're fine; we got rescued by some…new friends."

"Thank God, Bobby and I have been searching for you for days, there's been no sign."

"Sorry Sam," Dean replied honestly.

"Where are you?"

"I'm not sure, actually. We passed out as soon as we got here; it's been a stressful couple of days for all of us. Hold on a minute," Dean said and called to Kevin, "Hey, Kevin, you want to tell me where we are exactly?"

Kevin hesitated and approached Dean cautiously. Dean growled at his lack of response, "I'm going to have to call you back Sammy," he growled into the phone before snapping it shut.

"Dean, hang on, let me explain," Kevin said quickly. Jade put her hand on Dean's arm and he relaxed slightly. "I won't force you to stay here, but I do think that you should come with us to meet the Alpha."

"Why?" Dean questioned shortly.

"Honestly? If you don't and he comes to find you it'll probably be a lot worse."

"What do you mean worse?" Jade asked.

"The Alpha's not the most agreeable person, and he likes to think of himself as all powerful. He doesn't like the prophecy that foretold your coming," he explained.

"I really hate that prophecy crap," Dean said vehemently.

"Still," Jade started, "If it's really going to cause that much trouble, maybe we should go."

"Fine," Dean huffed, "Let me call Sam back, then let's get this over with." Dean dialed his brother once more, and Sam's voice was strained when he answered before the end of the first ring.

"Dean?"

"Yeah," Sam cut him off.

"What's going on? Is everything okay?"

"Sam," Dean said patiently, "Calm down, we just had a little disagreement, everything's fine but we have to run a little errand first."

"What do you mean errand? Tell me where, I'll meet you."

"Not this time Sammy,"

"Dean, I've just spent the last few days searching for you, thinking I might never see you again, tell me," Sam demanded. Dean sighed.

"I'll send you the coordinates."

"Alright, see you soon Dean."

"Later," Dean finished and they ended the call.

"Is everything alright?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, my brother is just worried, he's going to meet us," Dean said challengingly as he stared hard at Kevin. Kevin met his gaze but after a moment he looked away. "Let's go," Dean said and they began preparing to leave.


"Damn, if Kevin submitted that fast, maybe the whole prophecy will come true," Riley said hopefully, "I've only ever seen him like that with Alpha, and he always seems to hold out as long as he can.

"Shut up, that kind of talk could get you killed," Joey urged quietly.


"Kansas?" Dean repeated.

"Yes, Independence to be exact," Kevin answered.

"Alright, it'll take Sam at least a day to get there," Dean said.

"Actually, he probably shouldn't get to close to Independence without us," Kevin advised.

"Why, do they kill wayward humans that get to close?" Dean asked harshly.

"Not usually, but hunters are usually pretty easy to identify if you know what you are looking for, and the Alpha doesn't take to kindly to them on his turf."

"Alright," Dean sighed, "So what do you suggest?"

"We meet Sam at the border," Kevin answered, "It'll take us twice as long to drive then if we change and run."

"What about me?" Jade asked.

"You ready to see if you can change?" Kevin replied with a glint in his eye.


"What should I do?" Jade asked after they had moved outside.

"Just close your eyes and think wolf," Dean said jokingly. Jade snorted and shoved him lightly. "Just relax, take a deep breath and free your mind."

"That's deep, should I meditate while I'm at it?"

"Don't' be such a smartass," Dean laughed. Jade took a breath and did as instructed. Suddenly she felt something changing. "Will it be painful for her?" Dean asked Kevin.

"Since she is a born werewolf, I don't think so. This is something that she has always had the potential for, unlike you and me, although you seem to have the ability to change very fast."

"You don't change that fast?"

"No, and for the rest of us, there is always some pain," Kevin explained. Dean felt a furry head bump against his hand and he looked down at Jade. Both men gasped at the sight of her. She flattened her ears and crouched low, whimpering.

"You're beautiful," Dean whispered in awe. Kevin was speechless as he gazed on Jade's pure white form. Jade straightened her form and raised her head to look at Dean, her violet eyes meeting his green ones. They needed no words, and Dean swiftly changed into his wolf and they took off running. We'll be back later! Dean called back.

"We'll be ready to leave when you get here," Kevin replied and laughed as he went to gather his pack and prepare to visit the Alpha.
