AUTHOR'S NOTE: Ok, so I'm going to try to update this when I can, but if I get writer's block, I'm sorry, I'm just hoping that this inspiration lasts. As always, I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors that I might make, I try my best to fix those, but if I don't notice something, feel free to correct me. One last thing, this one is kind of short, but I wanted to get it updated for anyone who bothers reading it...sooo, yeah...On with the story!

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. I woke up to the alarm blaring in my ear. 5:30 AM. I had already packed my bag the night before which consisted of a few weeks worth of wages, some food, the angel blade, salt, and a few extra weapons vital to a hunter. This was it. Say goodbye, explain it's for the best, and leave. I wouldn't be able to come back. Not for a few years at the least, or until I was sure it was safe.

"Mom?" I lightly knocked on her door. When she woke up and looked at me, for the first time she didn't let me explain and have a 'real' conversation like 'normal' folks. She knew it all the second she probed my mind.

"You better be careful now" her expression was somber and downcast.

"And do me a favor, if you ever run into the Winchesters, tell them I said 'hello' and you stick with them" She paused, "They'll keep you safe. They found you after all, all those years ago. Just promise me that. And if you ever get the all-clear, you run back here. As fast as those legs of yours can carry, you come back home"

"I promise" I near whispered. At this point I was close to tears as she hugged me, and bid me one, final, good-bye.

Suddenly, it was all too real. I was leaving. Giving up security and a false-sense of belonging to have a life on the run. But I would keep her safe no matter the cost. She was the only real family I ever had, and if I had to take my own life to save hers, I wouldn't hesitate.

-(o.o)-

I realized all too late that I hadn't brought a change of clothes. All I had was what I left in- a jean, polka-dot dress that reached just above my knees, a green jacket with lots of pockets, and, luckily, some shorts beneath my dress. At least it was practical and would allow for maximum motion when I was hunting, vs. stiff jeans that would restrict my movements.

It also suddenly hit me that I didn't have any form of transportation. Darn. Well, walking, hitch-hiking, and buses would have to suffice for now.

So, that was how I found myself walking along a deserted road along-side a dying field of grass and hopelessly wishing that I'd come upon a town sometime within the next few days. Or at least a car.

-(o.o)-

ONE DAY LATER

'Finally!' I mentally yelled. I had reached the next town. Seriously, I didn't even look at a map, if I'd have known it was this far, I would've walked in the other direction. Maybe I would've reached somewhere sooner. But, I had made it.

So, my first day as official hunter...I guess. Might as well check the news for any 'mysterious deaths'. Hmm...a murder, two suicides, a lost dog...Bingo! 5 Mysterious murders, no sign of break-in and no wounds...cause of death - undetermined. Looks like I had some work to do.
