The Eye's have it chapter 2
"Order up Aeryn."
"I got it. Thanks." I said as I grabbed the stack of pancakes from the cook and carried it over to the lady in the corner. The music constantly playing in my right ear and the noise of the diner in my left ear, it constantly kept me calm. People loved to stare and it got on my nerves. It wasn't that I was ugly just hard to forget. My hair was a light cotton candy pink with a lavender tint to the ends. My eyes were a very pale lavender.I had tried to dye it but the dye wouldn't stick. I tried contacts but they hurt my eyes. I
was almost six foot tall and very slender. My parents had taught me how to fight at an early age and constantly taught me about fighting ghosts and demons and the other things that go bump in the night. I had a huge tattoo of angel wings on my back and an anti possession charm tattooed on my hip. The wings had been there since I was born, when children's services came to the house to ask my parents why they tattooed their infant they had to show pictures of when I was born to prove I was born with it. The other my father insisted I get when I turned 16.I did it when they were killed in a car wreck. I know it wasn't just a car wreck that killed them I just didn't have the proof. I would find it if it killed me.
"Earth to up." Jenn my only friend and co worker said as she pushed past me behind the counter to refill the coffee pots.
"Sorry. Just off in never land." I said as I yawned.
"Still not getting sleep?"
"No, I'm still having that dream of my parents trying to get into a burning house. I am watching myself as a four year old comforting a young boy about my age holding a baby. I can't remember if its true or not. It's killing me. I keep seeing the intials DW everywhere. If only I knew what they mean."
"Well maybe you'll figure it out." She says as the bell on the door dings indicating new customers coming in. "Well look at those two hunks of meat that just walked through the door."
I looked up and noticed that the two men walked in talking quietly amongst themselves. The taller of the two had a laptop tucked under his arm. I watched as they seated themselves in my area.
"Ah shucks. I was hoping I would get to wait on them." Jenn said as she walked to the end of the counter filling old man Jenkins cup.
I grabbed my order pad and made my way over to their table.
"Howdy gentlemen what can I get for ya today? Our specials today is Cherry pie al a mode chocolate chip pan cakes and the cook makes a mean bacon cheese burger."
"Give me a bacon cheeseburger, a beer and a slice of that pie. My brother here will have a salad and a coke."
"We don't sell beer. Would you rather have a coke?" I asked.
"Yeah. Sure that's fine." He said without looking up.
I quickly filled their drinks and took them over along with refills for several of my other customers and went back to the counter. I watched as they talked as the taller one kept staring at the computer. I grabbed the burger and salad when they were ready and took them over to the table.
"Here ya go guys. Enjoy."
"Thanks." The shorter one said as he looked up choking on his coke as he did so.
"What is it Dean?" the other said.
Dean kept staring at me.
"Are you ok?" I asked as I pounded him on the back.
"Uh…Yeah I'm great,." Dean said as he finally got his breath back.
"Well if you two need anything else just wave and I'll be right over. When you're done I'll bring over the pie." I said as I walked off shaking my head.
"What's up?" Jenn asked as I approached the counter.
"Dude freaked out when he looked at me. Think I would be used to it now. It just hit me the wrong way this time, I guess."
I continued to clean up after the other customers all the while keeping an eye on the two men sitting by the door. Every once in a while they would glance back at me.

"I'm telling you Sam. I looked at her face and her eyes were lavender." Dean said as he looked over his shoulder back at the waitress at the counter. She was cutting a huge slice of cherry pie and scooped a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
"Well ask her if she knows you. Ask her what her name is. Just go talk to her Dean. It could be her."
"I don't know Sam. It's been way too easy. Nothing is ever easy for us."
"Well maybe it's time we got a break. You only got a year to live and we aren't finding a way to keep you out of hell so maybe she knows how to help you?" Sam rambled on as Dean watched the strange girl heading for their table.
"Here's your pie. A slice for both of you." Aeryn said as she sat the plates down in front of the guys and collected their empty dishes. "Can I get you more coke?"
"Yes please." The taller one said.
She refilled their glasses and got their tickets ready. She signed it with a thank you, her name and a huge goofy smiley face.
"Here ya go guys. Here's your cokes and your ticket if I can get you something else let me know, other wise have a great day." Aeryn said as she walked away taking off her apron in the process. "See you later Jenn. I'm off to the library."
She tucked the apron under the counter, took the hand gun out and tucked it into the back of her jeans into the waistband covering it with her tshirt. She grabbed her jacket off the rack by the door and walked out onto the sidewalk turning left towards the library.
"Dude did you see that? She tucked a gun into her jeans."
"Yes Dean. I saw it. Wonder why ?" Sam asked as he picked up the ticket and walked to the register.
"Hey, Uh, Jenn." Sam said as he looked at her nametag.
"Yeah?"
"What do you know about Aeryn?"
"What do you mean? Why?"
"My brother thinks she looks familiar. Did she grow up around here?"
"No. She's only been here a couple years. She never talks about her past or her life really in general. She's good to the customers and friendly to everyone."
"Thanks." Sam said "Keep the change."
As they walked back to the hotel Dean couldn't help but get the feeling they were being watched.
"Sam do you get the feeling we are being watched?" Dean asked as he looked over his shoulder.
Sam looked around but couldn't tell if they were being watched or not.
~SPN~
Aeryn ran as the young werewolf chased her down the narrow alley way.
Shit why did she have to forget the silver bullets tonight? She never forgets things. It had to be the fact that her mind kept going back to the two men that walked into the diner today. The one looked vaguely familiar and the memories of her parents when she was younger kept surfacing.
She looked over her shoulder one last time to see the werewolf getting closer. It was screaming that it was going to get her. She turned back just in time to see that there was a chain link fence just up a head. She decided to speed up hoping that she could jump and climb over before he got a hold of her. She had just cleared the fence and could hear the boy climbing the fence behind her. She was forced to move faster and as she rounded the corner she collided with a solid chest.
"Hey watch out." The chest boomed at her as the arms attached to it reached out to keep her from falling to the ground. She glanced back to see the werewolf leaping down from the top off the fence.
"We gotta get out of here. He's going to get us." She said catching breath.
She turned back to take off when the arms pulled out a gun and started to aim. She looked up and recognized the guys from the diner. The taller one held his hand out to her and got her out of the way of his brother and the gun.
"You're hunters too?" She said as she hid behind them.
"UH yeah. Obviously you are too. Not a very good one at that." Dean said as he fired the gun at the werewolf.
She watched as it fell to the ground. "I was distracted. I forgot my silver bullets. This is the first time. No time for thanks. We got to get out of here." She said as she watched them burn the body.
"Get in the car. We'll take you back to your car."
"I don't have a car."
"Well how do you get around?"
"I walk."
"Everywhere?"
"Yes."
"Well, where are you staying? We'll give you a lift."
"Well. Over the bakery over on main street. The hotel was getting expensive."
"Where are you from?"
"Lawerence Kansas." She answered.
"When were you born?" Dean asked.
"Febuarary 14th 1979. Why do you want to know all of this for?"
"I think I may know you. I can't tell. It hit me when I seen your eyes in the diner." Dean said as he looked into the rearview mirror at the girl in the back seat.
"I think that if you knew me you wouldn't be able to forget me."
"I have no doubt about that. What were your parent's names?"
"Justice and Judith Konstantine" They said at the same time.
"How the hell did you know that?" She asked him.
"It was a hunch."
"What were your parent's names?" She asked them in return.
Sam turned in his seat looking at her. "John and Mary Winchester."
"Wait. Uncle John was your dad?" She said as she sat forward in the seat. "That means you are DW."
"What?" Dean asked
"I have been having this dream my parents are trying to climb the steps to this burning house and keep bouncing off of it like there was a glass field around it. Then they turn to me and tell me to find DW. Only I see a sign that has those initials on them. That would make sense. Where is Uncle John? I haven't heard from him in ages." She spit out without taking a breath.
"Wait? You've been having dreams too?"
"Yes Dean. I have. Wait if you are Dean then you are little Sammy. Wow you've really grown up."
"Hey, no hitting on my brother."
"Sorry Dean you've grown up too. Rather nicely at that." She said as she winked at him.
So uncle John, where is he?" She asked
"He's gone. He died."
I'm sorry. What happened?"
"He sold his soul to bring Dean back to life. Who in return sold his soul to bring me back to life."
"What the hell? Why would you sell your soul for? Hasn't he taught you anything?"
"Yes, but I can't live in a world where my brother isn't."
"Well what the hell are you going to do in hell then?"
"I've been trying to find a way to keep him out of hell."
"No offense Sam but that's nearly impossible."
"Why Dean? Why can't I save you for a change?"
"Because Sammy, I don't want you to risk your life for me. You can't You just can't."
"OK OK you two. Here's my place." Aeryn said as she noticed the bakery coming into view.
She jumped out of the car when the guys pulled up to the curb. She started to walk up the steps on the side of the building when she stopped and turned. "You guys want to come up?"
"Sure why not?" They said as they shrugged their shoulders and followed her up. They waited as she went and threw on a tank top and shorts.
"That's an awesome tattoo on your back." Dean mentioned.
"Oh that's my wings."
"Its really well done."
"Thanks. I was born with them."
"In my dream you have wings that are kind of pale pink." Dean said "Kind of like the wings tattooed on your back."
"Tell me about your dream." Aeryn asked Dean as she retrieved three beers from the fridge and passed them out.
"Well its always the same watching the house burn with mom in it and your parents trying to get inside but can't get inside. Then there's this little girl my age that comes up and puts her arms around me and Sammy along with pale pink wings. Instantly I feel comfort and at peace until she is gone. Then everything goes dark and all I see are these lavender eyes just staring at me. That's why I was startled at the diner. They look just like your eyes."
They talked late into the night and Aeryn let them out some time after midnight so she could get ready for bed. She had the morning shift and had to be at work around six in the morning.
She tossed and turned before she finally settled into a fitful sleep. A dream came to her.
Her parents appeared to her in a dark dark room.
"Aeryn, honey we are so proud of you. You have accomplished so much. We need you to find the demon that killed us. You also need to start with your assignment."
"What assignment mom? I don't understand."
"You must go with Dean and Sam Winchester. You were born to be Dean's guardian angel."
"Guardian Angel?"
"Yes dear. You take after your father. He was the boys father's guardian angel. It's time you knew your history. The tattoo on your back of the wings. Those are actual wings. You can spread them any time you need to. You can decide if humans see them or not."
"Mom you are saying I'm an angel?"
"Part angel part human."
"Remember you need to watch the boys. Take care and help them. Keep them safe." Judith looked over her shoulder and turned back to her daughter. "I have to go now. Remember take care of them." With that she was gone.
She sat up right in the bed as the alarm clock sounded. She turned it off and jumped in the shower and got ready for the day at work. She arrived to find Dean and Sam seated in Jenn's section of the diner. She waved as she walked to the counter taking her gun out of the back of her pants and tucked it under the register. She grabbed her apron and began the first order of the day.
"Look whose back today." Jenn said excitedly pointing towards Sam and Dean. I turned and smiled at them.
"They seem like nice guys Jenn. Why don't you go and talk to them?"
She was busy washing dishes before her shift was over when she heard a commotion out front. She walked to the front and watched as a guy started to give Jenn trouble.
"Listen honey I want the money out of the register, If you don't give it to me I'll have to take it by force."
She walked up to the register as the guy ushered Jenn towards her. She never took her eyes off of Jenn as she reached under the counter and stuck her gun in the back of her jeans turning the safety off. She stepped away from the counter.
"What are you looking at freak?" the man snarled at her.
"I'm not the freak here." She said as she nodded to Jenn.
Jenn went to the register and started to open it but ducked down as Aeryn pulled her gun out and aimed it at the big burly man.
"You won't shoot me honey. You don't have it in you." The man spit out. He was a little alarmed at the fact that she didn't falter or even appear shaken.
"You don't know me at all." She sneered.
"I don't? Well let's see you are Aeryn Rayne Konstantine. Your parents names were Judith and Justice Konstantine. They were tragically murdered when you were just 16 years old." The man said as his eyes flashed solid black.
"Fuck you." She said as she shot the man in the arm. Just as Sam and Dean ran through the doors. The demon turned to look at them and back to Aeryn as black smoke poured out of his mouth.
"What the hell was that?" Jenn cried.
"Um a Demon?" Aeryn answered as she shrugged her shoulders.
"A what? Never mind. I don't want to know." She said as she threw her hands up in the air and walked out the door.
"I got to call the owner." She said to Dean as he checked on the man. "Is he alive?" She asked as she hung up the phone.
"Yeah, but barely."
She picked up the phone and dialed 911. The owner came in about the time the paramedics showed up.
"What happened?" he exclaimed as he seen the man on the floor and the customers all gone.
"He tried to rob the place. Held Jenn at gunpoint and then threatened my life. I was scared he was going to shoot Jenn or me. I shot without thinking." She told the owner and again when the cops got there.
After a couple hours the cops were gone and the owner called her over to him.
"Aeryn I hate to do this but I have to let you go. Here's you last check that includes your vacation pay."
"You can't fire me. I just saved your diner." She exclaimed
"Yes I can. You had a gun here without my consent. You could have harmed a customer or even the rest of the staff. I can't have this here. I'm sorry."
"This blows. I don't need this or your check." She said as she ripped up her check and threw it on the floor.
She stalked out of the diner and back towards her apartment. She grabbed her back pack out of the closet and started shoving her clothes inside it. She then grabbed her weapon bag and started to walk out the door of her apartment only to run into Dean and Sam.
"God you scared me."
"Going somewhere?
"Yeah, time to move on. I just got fired for saving the diner. Time to find the next town and job."
"Well why not join us?" Dean said as Sam looked at him in surprise.
"Dean what are you doing?" Sam asked
"Why not?" Dean replied.
Aeryn remembered her dream and shrugged "Why not? Can't hurt right? You get tired of me and I'll go my own way."
"This won't end well." Sam muttered as they headed down to the car.
