"Well, if you're hunting this demon, I'm helping." You say bravely, making up your mind.

"No. Demons are dangerous and we don't want you to be hurt." Sam shook his head.

"Hey, it's after me. If nothing else, I might as well be bait." You can't believe your ears. Did you just offer to be bait for a DEMON? No. That's not the role you want in all this. "But I would rather have a gun in my hand, shooting that son-of-a-bitch."

"Okay, first, guns won't kill a demon." Dean said.

"Fuck." You say.

"Second, do you even KNOW how to use a gun?"

"Uh... no... but if they don't kill demons, then I don't need to know." You shrug.

"They don't kill them, but they do slow them down. Look, you can't wield a gun, you know nothing about Supernatural beings, and I ran a back-ground check on you. You've never studied, hand-to-hand combat or anything that could be even remotely useful."

"I want to help." You whisper sadly.

"Then stay here. We'll hunt the monster and kill it. You stay safe."

"How can I? Whatever I do, wherever I go it will find me, so I suppose I'm in this whatever happens. Like it or not, wherever I am, the demon is. So you better suck it up, because you have to deal with me as long as you work this case." You stare boldly into his deep eyes and you sort of feel like slapping him for calling you useless, but he's sort of hot, so you don't.

"Fine. Then I suppose you're bait." He says after a few moments.

"Dean, we aren't going to use a person as bait." Sam speaks up.

"She offered." He protested.

"I want to help." You repeat. "It killed my FAMILY."

"This is dangerous!" Sam stresses.

"Yeah, I got that." You say thinly. After a few moments Sam sighs and gives in, knowing you aren't about to back down.

"Then stay here with us. Eventually the demon will come. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, it's probably here now." So THAT'S why they were clutching their guns... They think the demon is here already... And sure enough, a few moments later...

There is a crash from the bathroom. Dean and Sam motion for you to stay put. You fold your arms and pout childishly, but you stay. They creep away towards the bathroom, then burst into it. It is obvious they have found nothing because of Dean's calls.

"Heeeere demon! We have what you want! Just TRY to take it!"

As you sit there, waiting, a hand closes over your mouth! The demon. He presses a knife to your throat, but you manage to wriggle out of his grasp! Sam and Dean are just in the next room and they have guns, but the demon is about to stab you! You see a gun lying on the bed, and you can quite conceivably grab it, but would you have time to turn and attack the demon?

If you call for Sam and Dean and try to run from the demon, scream on chapter twelve.

If you grab the gun and try to shoot the demon, lunge for it on chapter thirteen.
