Kat took her rightful place in the front seat of the Impala next to Dean.
"Oh" He placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out the envelope with K.E scribbled on the front. "I think it's for you" He handed it to her. "From Danny" Her eyes dropped to the floor.

"And" Sam picked a small leather journal from the back seat and handed it to her. "This was his" He smiled weakly at her.

"Thanks guys" She examined the envelope. She didn't want to open it not yet. The journal would be more of a keep sake than an aid; he taught her everything he knew. Sam watched eagerly, disappointed when she placed the envelope inside the journal and placed in on the dash board. "I'm starving" her words slightly unnerved the brothers. "For food before you start throwing dead guys blood at me" A fit of laughter exploded in the car; that hadn't happened since she had gone. "I missed you guys" She turned sideways so she could view both of them.
"We've missed you too Kat, it's been sooo boring without you" Sam emphasised the word. "All he's done is pine and sulk" He gestured to Dean. He smiled at her. She smiled back. She had no idea what to say and he didn't want an audience for what he wanted to say.

"We'll talk later" He told her.

"Ok" She nodded. Silence followed for a while. "You know, I'm sort of -" She wasn't sure how to phrase her sentence. "I guess I've always felt ... different" She waited for the boy's reaction.

"There's nothing wrong with being different" Sam smiled at her. "When I had ... visions you didn't treat me any differently" He placed his hand on her shoulder. She put her hand on top of his.
"Thanks Sammy, I guess I'm ... a vampire" The words sounded strangely ... good. It explained a lot; especially the Reapers. "You know I'm actually surprised you let me in the Impala, I'm covered in vampire blood"

"Only you Kat" He smiled.

They returned to the motel, Kat went straight into the bathroom; she took a long hot shower. She was a vampire, she laughed - it was ironic really; she was what she killed best. She stepped out of the shower and wiped away the steam from the mirror with her palm. She looked at herself; she opened her mouth attempting to make her fangs appear. Nothing happened. She thought of the smell of Dean's blood; she imagined the sweet, dark liquid. She could almost taste it. They ascended. Pearly white, sharp as a knife. Fangs were not common amongst the newer vampires; they had evolved a new set of teeth. Her father crossed her mind her really father. Leon Redfern, Why did he want her? How did he die? She thought of the letter that sat in the journal. She took a deep breath, her fangs retracted. Maybe all her answers were in that letter ... but did she really want to know? She was too preoccupied with removing her blood soaked clothing that she had forgotten to bring any fresh ones to change into. She pulled the largest towel from the rack and wrapped it around herself. She returned to the mirror, she focused. Her fangs ascended. A few seconds past by and they retraced. She did it again and again and again. She moved over to the bathroom door, leaned back over to the mirror and did it one more time. She laughed to herself smiling triumphantly. She shyly made her way into the main area of the room not wanting to draw attention to the fact that the only thing she was wearing was a towel. Sam and Dean were exchanging strange looks. Dean stared at Sam his eyebrows raised. He shrugged. Dean's eyes widened and he gestured to the front door. The penny dropped.

"Oh ... right err ... I gotta go ... do ... something ... somewhere else" He waved goodbye and walk out the door. Silence followed. Kat held the towel tightly around herself.

"So?" Kat began. She stood leaning against the patrician that separated the living area from the mini kitchen.

"So ... I guess I have some explanin' to do" He sat opposite her on the single bed that Dean hoped they would share for the next few days. He sighed heavily.
"Yeah it would be nice" She nodded, pushing a strand of her wet chocolate brown hair behind her ear. He noticed that her pentacle was missing from her neck. She never takes that off.

"... That fight that we had, I – I did it on purpose ..." Dean looked down at his feet. He couldn't bear to see the hurt look in her eyes. She nodded. She knew why, she understood.

"... Is this about your mom and Jess?" Kat knew already, the shapeshifter had told her that he expected Kat to meet the same fate if she stayed with him.

"I just ... , we've lost enough people already. I ... I couldn't ... not you too Kat" He smiled weakly.

"Don't you think it's my decision to make?" She joined him on the bed.

"Huh ... you'd make the wrong one babe, you'd stay" He placed his hand on the side of her face. She kissed it gently. He brushed her wet hair behind her ear.

"I would ... because ... I love you Dean Winchester" Finally, the weight of the world had been lifted from her shoulders. Her smile was wide and bright.

"I love you too Kat ... that's why I wanted you to go" He laughed, it sounded silly when he said it out loud. She giggled.

"Do you still ... feel the same way? ... Now that I'm ..." She couldn't finish her sentence. She looked away from him.

"You're still my KitKat" They smiled at one another. "I don't want you to go again Kat, I missed you so much" He tilted her chin to look into her story eyes. He'd missed them too.

"I missed you too, you and Sammy" She smiled.
"Waking up and seeing your not there, lying in bed at night without you in my arms, your smile, your laugh, just you Kat, I missed everything about you" He kissed her nose gently.
"Good" She giggled. A few moments of silence passed. "I guess it's going to take some getting used to ... especially the fangs" She ran her fingers across her gums. "You know sometimes when I'd wake up in the mornings I'd have pain in my gums ... do you think they ... come out ... in my sleep?" She raised her eyebrow at him.

"I err don't know" He laughed nervously, the image of her with fangs ... sucking on his blood kinda ... turned him on now that he thought about it.

"Oh yeah cause I've never woke up in the morning with a part of you sticking in my back" She stuck her tongue out at him. He laughed.

"You love it ... Seriously though ... about this ... you being a ... vampire; you know that you can always talk to me right?" He took her hands in his.

"I know" She looked up into his eyes. "You and Sam, your all I got left" She frowned.

"Were not going anywhere I promise" He kissed her forehead. She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Kat" He pulled back so that he could see her face.

"Yes Dean" She smiled, he leaned closer to her face.

"Why are you naked?" She punched him in the chest playfully. He burst out laughing. She was expecting their first kiss. "What? I was just wondering" He shrugged.

"I kinda left all my clothes in a motel room near Danny's place" She sighed. "I'll have to go get them tomorrow" She sighed.

"I got a better idea" He handed Kat his phone. "Text Sam, ask him to go get your stuff"

"No" She shuck her head. He took the phone off of her and began to text. He held it out to her so that she could give him the name and location of her motel. She sighed and reluctantly took the phone from him.

"Yeah, it'll keep him busy for at least another hour" A smirk lit his face as he raised his eyebrow. She smiled. She was beginning to like his idea.

"Tut tut, using your brother like that, that's very naughty Mr. Winchester" Her tone was seductive.

"Well you're gonna need your clothes ... tomorrow"
