if you read "All Roads Lead to Rome" then ignore this, for this who dont...i'll repeat myself. I posted this instead of doing my midterm. Dont tell Persephone, cause i told her i was going to get it done last night. Shh shh.
Ace had now taken up pacing. Baby followed her every move. He had growled at Gordon the moment he walked, continuing to look at him as if he was something very dangerous. Baby did not like him.
Ace soflty called him a 'good boy'. When the door opened, she nearly stopped breathing when Jinx and Sam walked in.
Ace threw herself at Jinx, hugging her tightly, then she pulled back and smacked her. "Dont you fucking do that to me again. I nearly had a damn stroke." Jinx couldnt help but smile as Ace hugged her again.
Dean had rushed over to them, checking Sam over. "You okay Sammy?"
"I'm fine. We're fine."
"What the hell happened? How did you two get away?"
"We didnt." Jinx said, causing everyone to look at her and Sam.
"What?"
"They let us go. Without a scratch."
"No."
"Yes Dean. Look at us baby, me and Sam are fine." Baby's ears perked up, Jinx smiked and let him jump up on her.
"Why would they do that?" Dean asked as Sam sighed.
"Because they're good."
"Oh come on Sam, dont be stupid. They're vampires! They're evil."
"HEY!" Jinx shouted, getting Dean's attention before the yelling match started. "They eat cattle."
"I dont believe it."
"Well do Dean, because thats the truth."
"No Sam, those were evil, bloodsucking-"
"Then why are we still alive? Why did they let us go without a mark on us?"
Dean's eyes wondered over to Jinx, checking her over as Ace did the same time; Jinx kept swatting Ace's hands away. Dean noticed Jinx was wearing Sam's shirt. "If they didnt hurt you, why is Jinx wearing your shirt?"
Jinx rolled her eyes. "I was changing when they took me Dean. I was runnin around in my bra and Sam was nice enough to give me his shirt."
Dean mumbled something, shaking his head. "I just dont believe it. What about you Gordon-" When Dean turned to look at him, the older hunter was gone. "What the-"
"Sam we gotten stop him from going after the vampires." Dean couldn't believe his ears.
Ace looked at him, walking over to him. "I know it seems like a long shot, but i trust Jinx with my life, and i know when she is lying, she's not. Sam is your brother, you should know this as well." Dean shook his head; it was just hard to wrap his head around it. "And thank you." Dean looked at her taken back. "For keeping me calm."
"I get how much she means to you. Hell, means a lot to me too."
"I know." They stood there in silence a moment.
"Lets never bring this up again."
"Thank god." Dean said as he went to grab his keys, but they were gone. "I'm going to fucking kill him."
Ace smiled as she listened to Dean curse again as he hotwired the impala. He had refused to ride with Jinx and Sam. Ace had agreed with him. Jinx was going to drive like a maniac. She smiled when the impala roared to life.
"And after I just fixed her too. I am going to kill him," Dean said as he pulled out of the parking lot following Jinx and Sam.
"I'll help you. Should we cut his body up in little pieces?" Ace asked.
"Too much of a mess. I say we torch it."
"Oh, I like."
Jinx slammed her foot down hard on the accelerator. The jeep jumped forward and Sam grabbed the handle bar and the dash. Ace was right. You did always have to wear your seatbelt when riding with Jinx. They sped over the bridge that lead you out of town. Sam turned and looked at Jinx. Her face was set and hard.
"We're going to stop him," Sam said.
"We better. I knew there was something about him I didn't like."
"I agree."
They rode in silence the rest of the way. Jinx pulled up in front of the farm house. Sam held on. She shut off the jeep and jumped out. Sam followed her. He grabbed her arm when she went to run up the stairs. She whirled around and glared at him.
"We should wait for Dean and Ace," he said.
"But-."
"Four is better than two."
"Fine. But I am so going to kick his ass."
"Oh, I know. And I will help."
"Good."
Jinx started to pace. She looked up when the impala pulled into the driveway. Ace climbed out before Dean shut the car off. She shoved a clip into her gun and shoved it in the back of her jeans. She went over to Jinx. She wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"I take the front, you take the back?" Ace asked.
"We all go in the front," Dean said climbing out of the car.
"Fine. Would you just move your ass already?" Jinx stated.
"Do we have a plan?" Sam asked as he watched the girls go up the front steps.
"Try not to get killed?" Dean suggested following them.
Ace walked into the house. It was quiet. She walked into the dining room and felt her anger rise at the sight before her. There was Gordon with Lenore. Lenore was tied to a chair and he was torturing her by cutting her with dead man blood. Ace's hand itched for her gun and the chance to just end him right there.
"Gordon, what are you doing?" Dean asked as he and Sam walked in after the girls.
"I was just asking Lenore here where all of her friends were. Wanna help? Grab a knife," Gordon answered.
"Look Gordon-."
"I was just about to start in on the fingers."
"You sick son of-," Jinx started.
"Hey, let's all just chill out," Dean tried.
"I am perfectly chilled."
"Gordon, put the knife down," Sam said taking a step forward. Dean held him back. Neither of them saw Ace step closer though.
"Looks to me like it's Sammy who needs to chill," Gordon said.
"Just step away from her," Jinx said seeing Ace moving closer.
"You know, you're right. I'm not going to get anything from her. This bitch is never going to talk," Gordon said grabbing his large knife, "I just sharpened it so it is completely humane."
"I am going to let her go," Ace said coming face to face with Gordon. He held the knife up to her throat.
"You're not going to do anything."
"Hey, hey," Dean said coming around the other side. He looked at Ace, she didn't seem scared at all. More pissed then anything, " Gordon let's talk about this."
"What's there to talk about? It's like I said. She's a vampire. She is evil, so she dies. It is that simple."
"Yeah, I hear you. I know how you feel."
"Do you?"
"The vampire that killed your little sister deserved to die but this one-," Dean started.
Gordon laughed a little. Ace glared at him while looking at Lenore. Lenore didn't look like she was doing too hot. They needed to do something and fast. If only Dean would make a move instead of chatting with Gordon they might get somewhere.
"Killed my sister? That filthy thing didn't kill my sister. It turned her, made her one of them. So, I hunted her down and killed her myself," Gordon said calmly.
"Excuse me? Did I just hear you right?" Jinx asked shocked.
"You did what?" Dean asked also shocked.
"It wasn't my sister anymore. It wasn't human. I didn't blink. And neither would you," Gordon said pointing his knife at Dean.
"Oh, I get it. You knew about the vampires. You knew they weren't killing people. But you didn't care, you bastard," Ace said her hands balling in fists.
"Care about what? Vampires suddenly acting nice, not eating people. And we're suppose to buy that? Trust me, it doesn't change what they are. And I can prove it," Gordon said.
Gordon grabbed Ace's arm and sliced it. She bit her lip and glared at him. He yanked her over to Lenore and held her arm over Lenore's head. Ace watched as the blood flowed freely from the cut. Gordon held the knife to her throat again. She looked up and saw Jinx, Dean and Sam all had their guns trained and Gordon. Dean and Jinx looked pissed.
"Let her go before I give you another hole," Jinx said her voice cold.
"Now!" Dean shouted.
"Relax. If I wanted to kill her she'd already be on the floor. I just want to make a point."
"You son of a bitch. I am going to bury my fist so far down your throat it is going to come out your ass," Ace said wishing she could hit him.
Everyone was silent. Drops of blood from the cut fell and landed on Lenore's face. Lenore opened her mouth and showed her fangs. Ace looked up and her eyes met Jinx's, she did not want to become vampire food.
"Hey," Dean said his gun still on Gordon.
"Still want to save her? She isn't different. They aren't different. They lied to you. And if she wasn't tied up, she would be eating little Mrs. Sweetheart here," Gordon said.
"Only I get to call her sweetheart," Dean said itching to shoot him.
"They are all the same. Bloodthirsty and evil."
"No. No," Lenore said retracing her fangs and turning her head away from the blood.
"Do you hear her Gordon? Do you?" Sam asked placing his gun in the back of his pants.
Gordon lowered his knife away from Ace's throat. Ace took the opportunity to do what she had been wishing to do all night. She clocked him right on the cheek with a strong right hook. Gordon fell against the wall. Sam came over and untied Lenore. He picked her up.
"Sammy, get her out of here," Dean said.
"Yeah. Jinx grab the door," Sam said.
"But-," Jinx started to protest.
"Go on, Jinxy. Dean and I are going to have some fun with little Gordy here," Ace said ripping the bottom of the t-shirt and wrapping it around her cut.
Jinx shrugged. Who was she to stop some quality bonding between the two of them? She nodded and lowered her gun. She followed Sam.
"I don't think so," Dean told Gordon when he saw that Gordon was going to go after Ace, "You and me we need to have a little chat. A nice little heart to heart."
"You know I am right. They need to die, Dean," Gordon said.
"Can I hit him again?" Ace asked stepping beside Dean.
"If you want."
Jinx looked back at Sam and Lenore in the backseat; she was worried about Sam being back there without protection with a hurt vampire, and she was oddly worried about the vampire. This hunt was fucking with her head, and she didnt like it.
"How's she doin?" she asked as Sam looked up at her, meeting her eyes in the rear view mirror.
"The dead mans blood is starting to work its way out of her system."
"I'm fine. Please just take me to the others."
"Will do." Jinx said as she turned onto the paved road. "Is there anything we can get you? Maybe stop by some cows?"
"Jinx."
"What? I am trying to be polite."
"Well you suck at it."
Jinx's eyes went cold for moment. "And there goes the chance of you getting any sex going out the window."
Sam and Jinx looked at Lenore when she laughed. "You two are cute." Jinx couldnt help but rolled her eyes; she hated to be called cute. "And no thank you, I'll be fine soon. I'll feed when I am with the others."
"10-4." The was was barely rising now, and Jinx yawned.
"Want me to drive?" Sam offered as she shook her head.
"No, it'll keep me awake." Sam nodded.
"Thank you." Lenore said as Sam smiled at her.
"There's no reason to kill if you you're not hurting anyone. We witness your strength. We were glad to help."
Jinx grunted. "Speak for yourself. No offense Lenore, but I would much rather be back at the house, beating the living shit out of Gordon then 'Driving Ms. Daisy.'"
Sam shook his head. "Excuse her, she has anger issues."
"Oh and now you're really not getting any sex." Sam slumped in his seat slightly as they pulled up to the bar.
Eli was waiting outside, several others with him; they looked ready to attack. "Lenore!" Eli stepped closer but stopped when he saw Jinx getting out, helping Sam help Lenore out. "What the hell did you do to her?"
"Wasnt them. It was the other hunter. They saved me. I told you they could change as well."
One of the other female vampires walked over to took her from their arms. "We have her from here." Sam and Jinx nodded.
"Dont go back to your house. Gordon is ours to deal with."
Sam looked at her, then back to the vampires. "She's right. It wont be safe."
"I really hope he's still conscious. Creepy ass-" Sam covered her mouth.
"Stay out of trouble." he said before pulling Jinx towards the jeep.
Jinx shook him off as she got in, smacking his arm hard as he buckled up. "What did you do that for? I was talking to the vampires."
Sam groaned. "We should get back before Dean kills Gordon."
"Dude, my money is on Ace. He cut her." Sam's jaw locked for a moment; he had almost forgotten about that. As they drove back to the house, Sam was sure Jinx was breaking about every road of the law there was, and she didnt seem to care.
"Okay, whats wrong? You're driving even more crazy then usual."
"I dont drive crazy."
Sam looked at her. "Right, and how fast are you going?"
Jinx lookd down at the speedometer. "Shut up."
"My point exactly. Slow down before-"
"We get into an accident? Do we have to go over this again Sam?" He forgot how frustrating she could be.
Once they pulled back up to the house, they heard a crash and ran inside. Everyone was fine. Well, everyone but Gordon was fine. "Did you guys knock him unconsicous? Cause I want a shot in." Jinx said as she popped her knuckles.
"Wakey wakey Gordon." Dean tapped his cheek hard, causing him to wake. Jinx gave him an evil smile before she walked over to him, standing right in front of him.
She bent down and whispered in his ear. "You touch my girl again you fucking psycho, and you will have wished we let the vampires have you you son of a bitch."
Gordon could see the fire and anger in her eyes as he spoke, but the promise was well. Thats when he saw that the tattoos on her wrists were glowing slightly. "And you better watch your back, cause once I find out what you are, i'm coming after you."
Jinx pulled back, chuckled. She clocked him hard, causing his chair to fall back, knocking him out. "Good luck."
Jinx turned, met with stares. "What? No one messes with my girl." she said with a wink. "Lets get that looked at." Jinx wrapped her arm around Ace's shoulder and walked out.
Dean and Sam looked at each other. "Remind me not to make Ace bleed."
"How about hurt all together. She'd kill you."
Dean smirked. "Bye Gordon. We'll call someone in a couple of days to come and get you. Give the vampires enough time to leave." Dean said, almost chipperly as he and Sam walked out.
When they got back to the hotel, Ace knew there was something wrong with Jinx, she just couldnt figure it out. "Hey, whats up?" she asked as Jinx cleaned the wound on her arm.
"Nothing, just thinking."
"Dont think too hard, your head will explode." Normally when Ace said something along those lines, Jinx would laugh, but not today. "Come on, whats wrong?"
"Nothing babe. Just leave it."
Ace sighed, knowing Jinx was not going to open up about whatever was bothering her, so she changed the subject. "Gordon knew who I was."
Jinx looked up at her. "Knew we should have killed him."
"Jinx."
"I know, I know." She said as the boys walked into their room.
Sam walked in first. "How's the arm?"
"Stings but i'll live. I have the best nurse ever."
"Damn straight. And maybe later, i'll give you a sponge bath."
"Only if I can watch." Dean yelled from the other room.
"No." they both said before looking at Sam. "But Sam can." Sam blushed for a moment, shaking his head.
"You two-"
"Are awesome. We know." They said at the same time. Sam laughed as Dean walked in.
"So, what now?"
"Now, now we get some sleep and leave in the morning. Sound good to everyone else? Good." Ace said without giving anyone room to answer before she grabbed her bag and headed into the bathroom to change.
"Well, I guess that answers that question." Dean muttered, watching as Jinx threw the bloodied bandages in the trash, then grab her keys.
"Where are you going?"
"I need to think for a bit."
"Whats up?" he asked as she shrugged.
"Didnt this hunt just fuck everything up for you?"
Dean knew exactly what she was talking about. "Yeah. I kind of wish we didnt come here. Makes you wonder-"
"That if everything we've killed was really evil?" Dean nodded. He hated it when Jinx could readhis mind. "Yeah. I know the feeling."
Jinx looked over to the bathroom. "Let Ace know i'll be back later. Try and behave." she opened the door, turning back. "And what I mean by behave is locking yourselves in the other room and screwing out the sexual tension." Dean picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at her, but the door caught it.
Dean looked at Sam, getting an idea. "You should go after her Sammy. Make sure she doesnt do something really stupid."
Sam was already grabbing his coat before Dean even finished the sentence. "Great idea Dean."
"Remember a condom." he called out before Sam flipped him off, closing the door behind him. Dean smirked; Sam was acting like a little kid again and that made Dean happy, that his brother had something to help get him over Jess. He looked over to the bathroom door; this was going to be an interesting night.
Ace pulled on her old pair of short sweat gym shorts. They had Harvard written on her ass. She smiled and then pulled on a grey tank top. She looked at the bandage on her arm. Never seemed to fail.
She always got hurt on a hunt. Although thank God it was never serious. Just cuts and bruises. She sighed and grabbed her bag. She opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.
The first thing she noticed was Dean laying on her bed the remote control in his hands. He stared straight ahead at the television. She frowned and let her bag drop to the ground with a thud.
Dean turned and looked at her. He smirked. Yeah, he was suddenly warming up to priss. He watched as she walked over to the bed and climbed in beside him. She grabbed the control from his hand.
"This is my bed, you know," she said flipping the channels.
"Oh, I know. So, what are we going to watch?"
"I am going to see if I can catch an episode of Dawson's Creek."
"You aren't serious?"
"Well, I wasn't but now that I see the look on your face, I think I'll look for it now."
"Thanks."
"Welcome."
Dean watched as Ace got comfy in the bed resting her back against the pillows. She crossed her legs and he noticed a tattoo on her ankle. He raised an eyebrow. Ace was not the type of girl he would imagine having a tattoo. He leaned closer and saw that it was a heart tattoo. He saw that the middle was blank.
"Like my tattoo?" Ace asked settling on an old episode of The Simpsons.
"Why is the middle blank?" he asked.
"Well... I got it on my eighteenth birthday. I wanted to put my dad's name in it but he said no. He told me I should wait till I find my soul mate. That his name would belong in there."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. My dad had my mom's name tattooed over his heart."
"What was her name?"
Ace was quiet. She swore. She couldn't tell Dean her mom's real name. Since it was her middle name that she was using as a false last name. Yeah, her life could get confusing.
"Her name was Allison," Ace said using her mother's middle name.
"My mom was named Mary. She... She died when I was four. Sammy was six months old."
"Sorry."
"Hey, at least I got to know her for those four years, you know. Sammy... He didn't get that."
Dean saw Ace nod. He looked down at his hands and saw the scrapes from when his fists had come in contact with Gordon's face. A few still had Gordon's blood on them. Or was it his blood? He wasn't sure anymore.
"Dude, your hands. Didn't Jinx look at them? Where the hell is she anyway?" Ace asked getting up and looked though the various bags for the first aid kit.
"She went for a drive. Sam went after her. My hands are fine."
"They are not fine. And you know that those two are going to have sex."
"Oh, I was kind of hoping for it."
Ace rolled her eyes and found the first aid kit. She sat on the side of the bed Dean was stretched out on. She opened the kit and found the alcohol. She grabbed a couple of cotton balls. She then took one of Dean's hands in hers. His calloused palm touched her soft one. She took a deep breath and took herself not to get worked up. Nothing was going to come of this.
Dean watched Ace. She dabbed his scrapes and cuts with the alcohol. She was so gentle. She finished one hand and moved on the other. She did it in silence. She finished and turned away from him. Her hair fell across her face. He reached out and brushed it aside. She looked at him shocked.
"You know, I have an idea," he said his thumb stroking her cheek.
"I am not going to have sex with you and be another notch on your belt."
"That is a good idea but no. Wanna play a game?"
Ace looked at him her eyes filled with mistrust. She pulled away and put away the first aid kit.
"This game better not have anything to do with sex."
"It doesn't. Wanna play poker?"
Dean smirked when Ace laughed. She looked at him and smiled. She went over and grabbed the phone.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Calling room service. If we are going to play poker, we need food and... Jack Daniels, right?"
"Sweetheart, marry me."
"Ah, no. I don't marry outside of my species."
"Oh, that hurt," Dean said clutching his chest.
Ace rolled her eyes and dialed the number for room service. She turned her back towards him. She needed to go back to their banter back and forth. It was her safe place. She could be on friendly terms with Dean but that was it. They could never be more; she knew he had the potential to hurt her deep.
So there you go...let us know what you think is going to happen. Or better yet, whose going to have sex first? If any sex happens. Come on, these are the Winchester boys we're talkin about. Oh yeah, i have a little teaser kind of thing. Involves something one might read in a Penthouse Forum. AGain, let us know what you think it is.
PEACE
