Sam woke hearing his phone ringing in the hallway, in his jeans. "Damn it" he said. He glanced at Caroline. Sam enjoyed the way the sun shined off her skin. He wondered how the sun didn't hurt her. He knew it should have made her weak.

Sam slid out of the bed and grabbed his boxers before finding his phone and calling Dean back. Caroline opened her eyes feeling him move off the bed. "Hey, Dean" She head Sam say in the hall. "Yeah, I have, sorry. No Dean, I'm-"Sam stopped like he was cut off midsentence. "I'll ask her but you did try to kill her," Sam came back into the room a few seconds later. "Hey, Your awake" he said.

Caroline sat up keeping the blanket over her chest. "Yeah, was that your brother?" she asked.

"Yeah, he is pissed. Apparently he has been trying to call all night." He said and slid back on the bed beside her. His hand slid to the back of her neck and kissed her "I should get going," he said.

"Oh, Ok" she said and touched his cheek. "Will I see you again soon?" she asked.

"Well, that's up to you. Dean wants me to invite you to dinner tonight," Sam said. Caroline shifted nervously in the bed "Tonight? Why?" She asked looking at him. "Honestly, I don't think he trusts you," Sam said sliding off the bed grabbing his clothes.

"You don't say," Caroline muttered. "I don't know… This could all be a trap, he could try to kill me," she said.

Sam buttoned his jeans and leaned across the bed and kissed her softly "I'm not going to let that happen" he said and finished getting dressed. "Come to Bobby's tonight, please?" he asked.

Caroline bit her lip and nodded giving his a slight smile. "Fine, I'll be there," she said and kissed him. "If he tries to kill me I'm kicking his ass" she said.

Sam laughed and kissed her once more and stood up "Deal" he said buttoning his shirt. "See you at 8," he said before grabbing his boots and left.

Caroline spent the whole day trying on clothes and changing her mind doing and redoing her hair. She wanted them to see the real her, not just the fangs and blood, but for them to see Caroline. She knew about hunters now. She had done her research. They were kill first ask questions later, but she cared for Sam and his brother was part of his life and if she wanted to be part of his life she had to get on Deans good side.

Caroline settled on a simple pair of jeans a cute pair of heels and a red lace blouse. She kept her makeup to a minimum and left her hair down in her natural curls. She arrived at the old salvage yard a little before 8. She parked her car behind a Black Impala.

She glanced around half expecting an ambush but she made it to the door and knocked. A few seconds later sam opened the door. "Hey, you found it" he said and smiled. Caroline stood on the outside of the thresh hold. "I did," she said.

"Come on in" he said and caroline started to step and stopped "You don't own this house." She said and looked at the door frame. "I have to be invited in," she said.

Sam looked at her and nodded "Got it, just a sec" he said and went to get Bobby. He returned with an older breaded man. "Bobby, this is Caroline," Sam said.

Caroline smiled kindly at the man, "Hi, I've heard a lot about you," she said

Bobby eyed her unsure, "Good to meet you," he said "Your not gonna try any funny business are ya?" he asked eying her suspiciously.

"Bobby-" Sam Started.

"It's fine," she said quickly. "No I'm not, like I told them, I'm not a monster. Plus I brought this" She said Holding out a bottle of top shelf bourbon.

Bobby took the bottle and nodded "Alright, come on in," he said heading to the kitchen to grab glasses.

Dean stood with his back to them when they walked in. Caroline couldn't miss the gun he tucked into the back of his waist band before pulling his shirt over it. "You made it" he said.

"Damn, try not to sound so disappointed," Caroline said with a light laugh.

Dean chuckled and nodded "well take out is in the kitchen" he said not wanting her at his back. Caroline took the hint and walked to the kitchen. Bobby handed them all a glass once they were sitting around small table.

"So, Caroline, what brings you to Sioux Falls?" Dean asked biting into his burger.

"Well, I have been traveling a lot, been a little home sick, and this place is a lot like my home town. So I decided to stick around," she said and sipped from her glass.

"Traveling?" Bobby chimed in.

"Yeah, being what I am-"

"Bloodsucker," Dean interjected.

"Dean!" Sam snapped back.

"It's fine, Sam," Caroline said and touched his arm and put her hands in her lap. "Yeah, I'm a vampire. But I'm also a girl who lost my father, I lost my mother, my best friend, and a lot more. You only see the fangs Dean," she said and sat forward. "it doesn't matter what I tell you," She said.

"Yeah cause I think you mind control my brother," He said through his teeth.

"I'm not," she said and slid her hand into her pocket. Dean reached for his gun and caroline slowly pulled a zip lock bag from her pocket. "It's called vervain," she said setting it on the table in front of Dean's plate. "It's like poison to my kind," she said motioned for him to take it. "You can grow it easily, it burns like acid and weakens us." She said.

"Caroline," Sam interjected, "What are you doing?"

"He doesn't know how to kill me, and that makes me a threat." She said and reached in her purse and pulled out a wooden stake, and set it on the table. "Right to the heart, and I'll be stone dead," she said "Now you know how to kill me, you also have the weapon," She said.

The silence in the room was intense. Dean picked up the zip lock back and opened it looking at the purple budding flower. "How do I know this isn't a trick? He said and held the flower by the stem. "Touch it" he said .

"What? No," Sam said.

Caroline sat there for a moment and leaned forward touching the flower with her thumb and index finger. Her skin instantly began to sizzle and she yanked her hand back. "Happy?" she asked holding her hand to her body.

"Yup" he said dropping it back in the bag and sliding the stake into his jacket pocket.

Caroline looked at Sam and half smiled. She emptied her glass and refilled it.

Bobby and Dean questioned her vigorously during dinner and when they were digging into the apple pie Dean looked at her. "I believe you, Caroline," He said after a few bites.

She looked at him surprised. "Thank you, Dean," she said and pushed her hair behind her ear.

"But, the second you give me any reason to change that-"

"I won't, I swear" She said quickly and Dean Nodded.

Sam walked her to her car after they finished dessert. "You were amazing in there," he said once they reached her car.

"I know," Caroline said and smiled. "He wasn't going to trust me… So, I decided to trust you," she said and wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist. "You say you won't let him hurt me, so I gave him what he needed to trust me" she said.

"Wow, Care," Sam said and cupped her face kissing her softly. "I'll talk to you later, ok?" He said.

"Yeah, see you" she said giving him a quick kiss before sliding into her car before leaving the salvage yard.
