It was like Christmas had never happened. Since they were on the road again Sam had gone back being bitchy and grumpy. Emma sat in the room and a mirror was on the other side, in which she was looking at. Emma let her fingers run through her hair and played with them then. "Remember the time when you were just there to fix cars, to train and to clean? Remember when you knew just a little about real hunting?" Emma asked her reflection. Then she grimaced and stuck her tongue out.

"And you? Do you remember how boring that life was? How you felt really empty all the time?" She sighed and let her fall on the bed, stretching her arms to the ceiling. Then she stared at them, at the bruises and the little and bigger cuts she had. Then she touched her wrist. It felt weird not wearing her bracelet. She had it since she could remember. Suddenly Emma frowned. From where was this bracelet even? Emma got up and stared at her hand. What if the bracelet was the last bit of her parents she had? And she just had it left at home. She had to get it back quickly.

"Witches, naturally. I hate Witches." Dean said while entering the room. Emma got up and frowned while Sam threw a bag at her.

"Oh… That's serious business. You know, it means that a demon might be involved." Emma said, surveying the bag.

"A demon… Ruby said it was a strong demon."

Emma looked up and stared at Sam. "Ruby?"

"Nevermind." Sam said and sat down.

"No, no, what did she say?" Emma asked.

"Just that this demon was too strong for us and bla bla." Dean started to search in his bag.

"Too strong?"

"It's okay, we will handle that." Sam said.

"But-"

"Just leave it, okay?" Sam's harsh tone indeed made Emma shut up. Emma and Dean looked at each other.

"I will get outside, okay? Or is there anything I can do…? Research or stuff?" Emma eyed Sam.

"No, I got it covered." Sam answered right away.

"Where are you going?" Dean asked.

"Uh, I don't know… Just straying around…" Emma looked a bit helpless. She just felt really uncomfortable around Sam, so she wanted to get out, away from him.

"Just take care."

"Sure…"

[-]

Emma walked around. Dean had called her and told her that they were investigating the suspects. Or at least Sam did, what Emma knew Dean was just in the hotel room. So she could actually go back. But the walk in the forest was somehow relaxing. "If only you would stop running away." The blackhaired demigod stood in front of Emma and grinned. Emma stepped one step away from her.

"Don't even try!"

"Oh Emma, I'm not always after you just to hunt you down. Sometimes, sometimes I just wanna talk."

"You've got some nerves…"

"Did you know, that we have a special bound? That this is the reason why I always spot you so fast?" Jiva said and smiled wide.

Emma couldn't believe what she heard. "No, we do not!"

Jiva laughed out."

"You want proof?" The demigod came closer to Emma and touched her forehead. With eyes open Emma watched a scene like she was watching a movie.

Jiva stood in front of a girl. "May I help you?" She asked friendly and smiled.

"You may." Jiva put her hand on the girls chest. After a short while the girl started to scream, clearly in pain.

"Do you see what you made me do?"

"Stop it!"

Jiva concentrated while the girl screamed louder and louder. Now the girl apparently had lost so much energy that she started to slip down "Oh no, don't get down already…" Jiva closed her eyes and then grabbed into the girls chest, to rip the heart out. While the girl fell dead on the ground Jiva started to eat the heart.

"No! Stop! Stop that you damn bitch!" Emma felt the tears running down her cheeks. Finally Jiva stepped back and Emma could see her normal environment again. She had started to breathe heavily and was shaking. "You monster!"

"You gave me no other choice. You are running from me, so I need the extra energy." Jiva smiled. When she did that Emma could see that Jiva had more red teeth than white teeth. She gained more and more power, she almost was fully recovered. "You and I, we are connected." Jiva started again.

"No!"

"Oh Emma. Do you really think you are so innocent? What do you think why you could watch me in full action? You always had it in your brain, you have seen it, you just erased it because you didn't want to remember."

"You are lying!"

"Really? You already know, that I'm right." Emma hesitated. The blackouts, the flashbacks she got when something somewhat demonic happened, that the Trickster knew her, that neither Andy or his twin brother could mind control her… "Just a little more, then you will see it… Little Emma, little, innocent Emma."

"Wait!"

Jiva turned to her and looked surprised. "Wait?"

"How strong are my powers? I have them, I know it." Jiva just laughed. "Could I save Dean from the pit?"

"Oh you can't save him. No one can. Dean is too special to get saved."

"You are lying!"

"Really? Ask. Ask every single hellmonster you can find."

"Ruby said there is a way."

Jiva screw up her mouth. "Ruby… I will see you, Emma." She had vanished.

"No! Jiva!" Emma went into kneeling position. This had been too much for her. Who was she… Or rather, what?

[-]

Emma couldn't stop thinking on what Jiva had said. Within a few hours she was able to get some books together she could do research with and sat in the motel room, studying them. She didn't know where Dean have been gone, but it was late evening, he might was out drinking, celebrating that this case was solved or was just out with Sammy.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly Dean stood behind Emma. His sneaking skills were really impressing sometimes.

"Nothing!" Emma snapped the book shut and shoved it over her notes.

"Very unsuspicious. What is that…?"

"Dean, give it back!" Emma grabbed the notes, but Dean turned around, which didn't hinder Emma from trying to get it back. "It's nothing, let it go!"

"Why? Is this a loveletter to a demon?" Dean teased ad held up the papers, while Emma reached for them.

"De- ean!"

"You are making a big secret out of this, what is it?"

"Give it back!" Dean meanwhile spun around himself and made it harder for Emma to take the notes. Finally Emma pushed him on the bed and crawled above him so she could snatch the paperwork back.

She just had it in her hands, just like Dean was still holding it, when they heard: "What are you guys doing?" The two looked up and to Sam, who had entered the room, looking very confused. Dean had used the surprising entrance of Sam and read what was on the paper.

"Are you trying to break my deal?" Emma got a shocked expression on her face, took the notes and got up.

"No."

"I'm not stupid!"

"You do?" Sam asked suddenly.

"I- I…"

"What do you got?" Sam wanted to know and sounded hopeful.

"Sam!" Dean hissed over the fact that Sam was interested in it.

"What?"

"Guys, if I got something-"

Sam took the papers and started to read them. "Jiva…? Demonic powers…? What are you trying?"

"Nothing, really, it's nothing." Emma knew it was way too late to deny anything, but she could still try.

Dean had gotten up and stood next to his brother, reading the papers. "What, Jiva? Why… Wait, did you actually talk to this demigod that is trying to kill you?" Emma just stood there. They had put her into a corner, but she didn't want to tell them. She didn't want to say that she might was a demon or somewhat a relative to the things they hunt. "Emma, talk!"

"I just… Think with my abilities… That there would be… a way."

"Those are demon abilities." Dean assessed and turned to Emma. "What, you think you are a demon now?" The girl didn't answer and just looked aside. "You are no demon!"

"I know, that I'm no demon… In the traditional way…"

"You are no demon, end of story."

"No, not end of story, Jiva said-"

"She lied. That's what things do that try to kill you!" Dean yelled upset.

"Just forget it!" Emma took the notes and put them in her bag.

"You should forget it!"

"Dean, I have powers, you can't deny that!"

"No, you don't!"

"Guys…" Sam tried to smooth down the dispute.

"I won't let you out of my sight anymore. Jiva is a frigging demigod and you just have a little chat with her when she still tries to kill you? You are out of your mind!"

"Let her, if she wants to."

Dean turned to Sam. "What, did everyone lost their damn mind?"

Emma meanwhile stared at Sam and her she got watery eyes. Sam was still mad at her. And it hurt Emma, a lot. She tried to blink the tears away and turned around. "I'm sorry, I will just let it go." She said quietly.
