Authoress Note: Welcome to Chapter 1 of Hell in a Handbasket. As the prologue stated Aeron most likely heard her grandfather's death. I hope you guys like this next part.

Chapter 1

Dangerous When Angered

Aeron was hidden in the brush outside of her grandfather's home. She had a pair of binoculars looking down on her grandfather's home, and the home that she had grown up in. She watched a black sleek car pull up that she remembered from her childhood. She gripped her binoculars tightly as she watched. It had to be John Winchester a man that her grandfather had trained and also had a hatred towards him.

She pulled the binoculars away from her eyes and blinked a few times when she saw two men get out of the car. She brought them back up to her eyes. Were they the sons of John? She couldn't understand why they were there unless they were there for the vampires seeing it as a case.

She moved slowly waiting for the men to leave. She watched through the binoculars gripping them tightly. She wanted to go down and find out who they were, but she didn't want to do so due to the fact that she didn't trust anyone being in her grandfather's home. After all if they weren't hunters things wouldn't end well.

After some time the boys left her grandfather's home and slowly made her way down the path that she knew well with how long she lived there with her grandfather. She walked past a tree that she didn't see someone that was hiding behind it. Her boots crunched against the twigs that were on the grounds.

Her mind was on her grandfather's journal. She needed to get her hands on it since she was next in line of vampire hunters from him. She hadn't even noticed that a man had been watching her.

The man watched her with his lips pursed together as he watched her go down the path. He knew who she was with how long he had known Daniel. He knew right away that she was his granddaughter. He had a chance to work with her on one hunt before and she threatened to shoot him after the hunt due to the fact of the falling out that he and her grandfather had. He didn't blame her for being thorny with him.

He couldn't help but wonder how she was going to react to meeting the boys. He watched her come out of the house with the journal in her hands. He watched her slip on the battered coat that she had on her arm. He knew right then and there that he needed to go and find his boys. But he knew right then and there when Aeron met up with the boys… it was going to be one interesting meeting.

Aeron had gone to the next place that her grandfather had told her where he had something in a mail lock box. She let out a frustrated breath as she watched through binoculars that she had on her. She closed her eyes when she noticed that it was in the shorter man's hand.

She waited in her car as a truck pulled in behind the car. She gripped her hands tightly onto the steering wheel. She watched as she saw as the boys got into the car.

Aeron made her way towards the three of them her hands gripping tightly onto the gun that she carried on her.

"The gun, why?" Sam questioned looking at his father, his brows furrowing.

She cocked the gun and the three of them turned and faced her. She knew that they hadn't noticed her coming up behind them. She was dressed in a dark red shirt, a leather coat that had studs on the collar of it, acid washed jeans and boots. "Cause it's important that's why." Her voice came out cooly.

John shook his head as he looked at the young woman. "Ron." He said softly. Honestly he hadn't expected her to follow them here. Perhaps she knew about the gun.

"Who the hell are you?" Dean demanded narrowing his eyes at the young woman.

Aeron slowly lowered her gun looking at John. "John Winchester. Been ten months hasn't it?" Her voice contained some bite to it and he knew it would be dangerous if he didn't tread lightly.

"Ron, thought I wouldn't see you until much later." John said smirking slightly as he looked at the young woman. He really had thought that it was going to be much much later down the line when she found him, but this was quick and it was troublesome.

Aeron cocked her hip some and her hand went to it as she held the gun in the other pointing towards the ground. "If I remember correctly. I told ya if I saw ya again I would shoot you with rock salt."

"What the hell. Dad who the hell is this?" Dean asked looking at his father. He couldn't believe that his dad knew someone so young and they were threatening him with rock salt.

"This Sam and Dean is Aeron Elkins, Daniel's granddaughter." John said introducing the gun wielding ticked off woman.

"Nice to meet ya, but we got something to look for." Aeron said as she stood straight holding the gun still at her side.

"Dad, we don't even know what these things are yet." Sam said softly looking over at their father.

"They are what Daniel Elkins killed the best." John said with a small sad smile to his youngest son.

"What?"

"Vampires." Aeron said turning away from the boys hoisting her rifle over her shoulder.

"Vampires? I thought there was no such thing." Dean said in confusion.

"You never even mentioned them, Dad." Sam said looking at their father.

"I thought they were extinct." John admitted to them.

Aeron scoffed.

John looked at her with a look that told her to be silent. "I thought Elkins and others had wiped them out. I was wrong."

Aeron patted John's arm as she walked by him. "It's because they hide." She said as she ran her hand through her hair. "Most vampire lore is shit." She spat out shaking her head causing her hair to bounce around her shoulders. "Crosses won't repel them. Sunlight won't kill them and neither will a stake. The bloodlust though… that's very true. They need human blood to live. They were once people." She slipped her hand into her pocket. "You won't know it's a vamp until it's too late."

"How do you know this?" Dean questioned looking at her, his brows furrowing some.

Sam looked at Aeron wondering the exact same thing. She couldn't have been any older than 17 at least.

Aeron let out a breath as she pushed some of her hair back. "Cause I kill them."

Their jaws dropped looking at her with wide eyes.

"Come on. We got to find a lead, but until then we should go and get some rest." John said looking at the three young hunters.

"And what makes ya think I'm going with ya?" Aeron questioned as she looked at John out of the corner of her eyes.

"Because you want to kill them." John said pointing out the truth. He knew that she would want to kill them. It was in her blood and he knew it.

Aeron shrugged her shoulders as she looked at him. "Yeah, yeah, you got me pegged Winchester."

"And you won't stop till they're dead." John also pointed out knowing that the young woman would want revenge on those very things that killed her grandfather.

"Well, what do you expect? They killed my grandfather." She snarked as she looked at John her hazel brown eyes flashing dangerously. "I'm gonna kill them. He was the only family I had left alive." Her parents were long since gone, due to a hunt gone wrong leaving her to be raised by her grandfather.

Sam and Dean looked at the young woman with a look of concern on their faces. They didn't know what it meant to be alone, but this girl did and it was sad.

"Rest. We'll find them. I promise you that." John said as he put his hand on Aeron's shoulder. He squeezed it lightly in confirmation that they would do just that.

Aeron let out a soft sigh. "Alright." She said as she ran her hand through her hair. "I'll get some rest. Take it a motel?"

"Yes and the four of us will stay there."

Aeron nodded her head. "Alright. I'll follow in my car." She said as she turned on her heels heading to her purple Charger RT/SE. She put her gun into the trunk of it.

Dean looked over at their father his brows furrowed. "Are you certain that we can trust this Aeron chick?"

"Yes, I've worked with her before. She's a good hunter. Better than what you would think of someone that young." John admitted, he didn't want to say her age in front of the boys for deeming her really too young for the job.

Sam, Dean, and Aeron were sound asleep. The boys were on the bed and Aeron was on the couch.

John was glad to see that they were sound asleep. He knew that they were all exhausted in their own way… and the youngest one, Aeron needed it the most.

"Unit 22 let me confirm Mile marker 41, abandoned car. You need a workup?"

"Copy that. Possible 207. Better get forensics out here."

John held the radio in his hand as the call came across it. He knew what this meant. It mean that the vampires most likely had gotten to the people that were in the car meant that bad things were on the horizon. He got up and went to Aeron and tapped her foot first.

Aeron's leg shot out and she jerked awake. She rubbed her eyes tiredly as she blinked around the room.

John then slapped his boys on the feet. "Sam, Dean, let's go."

"Mm-hmm." Dean said immediately as he slowly sat up rubbing his eyes.

Sam was half sitting up in his bed.

Aeron slowly got up off of the couch as she rubbed her eyes.

"Picked up a police call." John said looking at the three tired hunters. He knew that this was going to be a long shot with how tired they all looked.

"What happened?" Sam asked asked as he continued to rub his eyes.

"A couple called 911, found a body in the street. Cops got there and everyone was missing. It's the vampires."

Sam got out of the bed stretching out some. "How do you know?"

"Just follow me, okay?" John said as he left the room.

Aeron slipped her jacket on with blurry eyes.

Sam walked across the room putting his jacket on.

"Huh, vampires. Gets funnier every time I hear it." Dean said as he got up out of the bed that he was on following Sam and Aeron.

Aeron looked over at Dean with a sour look on her face. "Funnier? Really?" She shook her head in agitation. "There's nothing funny about this." She said as she pulled her keys out of her pocket.

Sam looked at her with his brows furrowed. "Are you up to driving?"

Aeron turned and looked at Sam. A small smile came to her lips as she was touched by the gesture of him worrying about her. "Nice of ya to be concerned about me, but I'll be fine."

Sam nodded his head biting his lower lip unsure if Aeron was going to be okay.

Dean watched her unlock her car and let out a whistle. "Damn… am I just now realizing that she has a nice ride?"

Sam shook his head at his brother's comment. "Only you Dean. Only you."

Dean tossed Sam the keys to the Impala. "You're driving."

Sam rolled his eyes as he caught the keys with ease.

John came back towards the three young hunters that were standing next to Dean's car.

"I don't see why we couldn't have gone with him." Sam said sulking a little bit, upset with the idea that John went over there on his own to talk to the police.

"Oh, don't tell me it's already starting." Dean said with a groan. He hated it when it happened. Sam and their dad were about to go at one another's throat and it wasn't a good thing.

"Keep the dometics down." Aeron said with a frustrated look on her face as she crossed her arms. She didn't have time to listen to family bickering.

"What's starting?" Sam questioned as he looked at his older brother wondering what he had meant by it was starting.

"What have you got?" Dean asked once their father was back over to them ignoring what Sam was asking.

"It was them alright. Looks like they're heading west. We have to double back to get around that detour." John told them.

"How can you be so sure?" Sam questioned agitation was beginning to show on him.

"Sam…" Dean warned pinching the bridge of his nose.

Sam turned looking sharply at his brother. "I just wanna know we're going in the right direction."

Aeron shook her head as she turned on her heels to walk back to her car. It was way too much with the tension that was around the three Winchester men.

"We are." John confirmed.

"How do you know?"

John handed something to Dean. "I found this."

"It's a… a vampire fang." Dean said as he looked it over in awe.

"Not fangs, teeth. The second set descends when they attack." John looked towards his youngest son. "Any more questions?"

Sam looked away from his dad remaining silent.

"Alright, let's get out of here, we're losing daylight." John said walking towards his truck.

The brothers slowly went towards the Impala.

"Hey Dean. Why don't you touch up your car before you get rust? I wouldn't have given you the damn thing if I thought you were going to ruin it." John called to his eldest agitation was written in his voice.

Dean looked over at the car.

Sam gave Dean the I told you so look.

Dean grimace knowing that things were just about to become so much worse.

Aeron got into her car starting it up. She let out a soft sigh as she followed Sam, Dean, and John. She turned on the radio tape player and began to listen to the tape she had in it. She tapped her fingers to the music which was Sister Christian by Night Ranger. She hummed the lyrics to the song. It was one of her favorites. She watched the road in front of her keeping up with the truck and Impala that were in front of her.
