Chapter 3

Deadman's Blood

Aeron sat in the room with John, who sat at a table, and his youngest son, Sam, who was pacing the room. Aeron ran her hand through her hair letting out a soft breath.

"It shouldn't be taking this long. I should go help." Sam said looking towards the motel door, worried about his big brother taking so long.

"Dean's got it." John said looking at his son, watching him pace back and forth. "Sammy."

"Yeah." Sam said looking over at his father.

"I don't think I ever told you this but ... the day you were born, you know what I did?"

"No."

"I put a hundred bucks into a savings account for you. I did the same thing for your brother. It was a college fund. And every month I'd put in another hundred dollars, until... Anyway my point is, Sam, this is never the life that I wanted for you." John admitted softly looking at his youngest.

Aeron leaned back against the couch trying her best to ignore the conversation that was going on.

"Then why'd you get so mad when I left?"

"You gotta understand something. After your mother passed all I saw was evil, everywhere. And all I cared about was keeping you boys alive. I wanted you...prepared. Ready. Except somewhere along the line I ... uh ... I stopped being your father and I ... I became your, your drill sergeant. So when you said that you wanted to go away to school, all I could think about, my only thought was, that you were gonna be alone. Vulnerable. Sammy, it just... it never occurred to me what you wanted. I just couldn't accept the fact that you and me - We're just different."

Sam huffed out a laugh shaking his head.

"What?" John asked slightly confused of why Sam was laughing a little.

"We're not different. Not anymore. With what happened to Mom and Jess…" He let out a soft laugh. "Well we probably have a lot more in common than just about anyone."

"I guess you're right, son." John said with a small smile.

"Hey Dad? Whatever happened to that college fund?" He asked softly curious of what happened to the college fund.

"Spent it on ammo."

They looked at one another before Sam cracked up laughing which led to John to laugh.

The door opened and Dean came into the room letting out a soft breath. "Whew. Man, some heavy security to protect a bunch of dead guys."

"Get it?" Aeron asked pushing herself up off of the couch looking at the older brother.

Dean fumbled in his pocket and withdrew a paper bag. From inside of the bag her pulled out a bottle of something red. He handed it over to John.

"You know what to do." John said looking at his sons and Aeron.

Aeron nodded her head firmly as she stretched out. "We only have one shot." She looked at the brothers. "One thing… don't get yourself caught or ingest any blood… once you do that… there's no turning back."

Dean nodded his head knowing that this girl knew what she was talking about.

Sam swallowed the lump in his throat still unsure if they should trust her, but their father trusted her, so that had to be a good thing.

Aeron held her crossbow close to her chest as she watched the scene behind some shrubs with John and Sam. Her lips pursed together as she watched. She hoped that the elder son of John would be able to handle a simple vampire.

Dean leaned over the open bonnet of the Impala looking at the engine, playing his role that his father wanted him to do.

"Car trouble?"

Dean turned around to see Kate behind him.

"Let me give you a lift. I'll take you back to my place."

Dean grinned looking at her. "Nah I'll pass. I usually draw the line at necrophilia."

"Oooh." She backhanded him as another vampire came up behind Kate. She grabbed Dean's face and lifted him into the air.

Aeron moved her head away wincing a little bit. Vampires were strong creatures and they didn't play nice half of the time. She looked back at the scene.

Dean grabbed her wrist. "I don't usually get this friendly until the second date but…"

"You know, we could have some fun. I always like to make new friends." She lowered him to her level and kissed him, still holding him by his cheeks tightly.

Aeron narrowed her eyes as she watched with narrowed eyes.

"Oh. Whuf. Sorry. I don't usually stay with a chick that long. Definitely not eternity."

Aeron fired her crossbow piering the other vampire's back before John fired his hitting his mark, Kate.

Kate looked down at the point of the arrow that stuck out of her chest. "Dammit."

Sam, John, and Aeron came from the trees holding their crossbows.

"It barely even stings." Kate said narrowing her eyes at the three new hunters that shown up.

"Give it time sweetheart. That arrow's soaked in dead man's blood. It's like poison to you isn't it?" John questioned looking at her.

Kate looked shocked, before wavering a bit before losing consciousness.

"Load her up." John gestured to the other vampire. "I'll take care of this one."

"John." Aeron said causing him to stop. "Let me."

John looked at her. "After you then."

Aeron approached the other vampire who was groggy on the ground. She raised her machete and brought it down slicing his head off causing the blood to spray on the boulder that was nearby. Aeron's jaw ticked a little bit in agitation. She kicked the body hard with her foot before turning to move.

A camp fire was burning that they had made.

John handed Dean a bag and they move from the Impala's trunk and back towards the fire where Sam and Aeron were waiting and watching keeping their machete's close by. "Toss this on the fire. Saffron, skunk's cabbage and trillium. It'll block our scent and hers, until we're ready."

Dean sniffed it and coughed. "Stuff stinks!"

Aeron rolled her eyes scoffing a little bit.

"That's the idea. Dust your clothes with the ashes, and you stand a chance of not being detected." John explained to the boys.

"You sure they'll come after 'er?" Sam questioned looking at his father.

"Yeah. Vampires mate for life. She means more to the leader than the gun. But the blood sickness is going to wear off soon, so you don't have a lot of time." John said with a firm nod of his head.

"A half hour oughta do it."

"And then I want you out of the area as fast as you can."

"But…"

"Well, Dad you can't take care of them all yourself." Dean said looking at his father.

Aeron crossed her arms looking at John.

"I'll have her. And the Colt." John said thinking that he was fine with having Kate with him.

"And you'll have me… if this is Luthur's girl… he'll have some explaining to do to me." Aeron said crossing her arms.

"But after. We're gonna meet up, right? Use the gun together. Right?" Sam questioned looking at his father. He blinked a few times when his father didn't answer. "You're leaving again ,aren't you. You still wanna go after the demon alone. You know, I don't get you. You can't treat us like this." Sam snapped crossing his arms in frustration.

"Like what?"

"Like children."

"You are my children. I'm trying to keep you safe."

Aeron scoffed knowing that this was going to blow over.

"Dad, all due respect but, uh, that's a bunch of crap." Dean said looking at his father.

Sam and John both looked at Dean shocked at what he had said.

"Excuse me?" John said looking at his eldest son.

"You know what Sammy and I have been hunting. Hell you sent us on a few hunting trips yourself. You can't be that worried about keeping us safe."

"It's not the same thing, Dean."

"Then what is it? Why do you want us out of the big fight?"

"This demon? It's a bad son of a bitch. I can't make the same moves if I'm worried about keeping you alive."

"You mean you can't be as reckless."

"Look... I don't expect to make it out of this fight in one piece. Your mother's death ... it almost killed me. I can't watch my children die too. I won't."

"What happens if you die? Dad, what happens if you die, and we coulda done something about it? You know I been thinking. I ...think maybe Sammy's right about this one. We should do this together."

Sam nodded his head in agreement to what his older brother was saying.

"We're stronger as a family, Dad. We just are. You know it." Dean said crossing his arms.

"We're running out of time. You do your job and you get out of the area. That's an order."

Dean looked down emotional not liking the idea that his father was doing this.

Sam's jaw clenched in anger.

Aeron bit her lower lip softly knowing that it wasn't easy for them. She looked at Sam. "Hey… take these for now…" She said handing her keys over to her car. "Just… don't scratch her ok?"

Sam looked at her as he took her keys. "You got it."

John drove down the road with Aeron beside him while Kate sluggishly opened and closed her eyes next to Aeron. After a few moments headlights shine in the rear view mirror. John gripped the wheel knowing that the vampires were coming to get Kate.

Aeron gripped her knees tightly looking over at John. "I better not get shot this time for trying to help you out John. This plan of yours work better."

John looked in the rear view mirror and noticed that the cars had disappeared from following him. John looks ahead and saw the cars in front of him. He brought his truck to a stop when he sees Luther and three other vampires there near the cars.

Aeron let out a breath. "Great plan John…" She said, shaking her head.

"Get out! Who are you?" Luther yelled at the truck.

John got out of the truck.

Aeron got out of the truck behind him.

"Name's Winchester."

"Where are your friends?"

"Cleaning out your nest." Aeron said looking at Luther with her eyes narrowed.

Luther smiled tightly. "Elkins… Where's Kate?" He demanded looking at the two hunters.

John turned back to the truck. "Come here sweetheart." He said as he pulled at groggy and tied up Kate out. He put a large knife to her throat to keep her still.

"Kate, you all right?" Luther asked his mate concern etched across his face.

"Dead man's blood." Kate said groggily.

"You son of a bitch."

"I want the Colt. Elkins gun. Trade." John said making his demands.

"Is that what this is all about? I mean, you can't shoot us all right? We'll kill you."

"Oh, I don't need it for you. I'm saving it for something else. Put the colt down, or she goes first."

"All right. Just don't hurt her." Luther said placing the Colt onto the ground.

"He shouldn't be the one that you should be worried about Luther. I know it was your dear little Kate that killed my grandfather."

"Back up. Further." John said dragging Kate forward with him. He leaned down to pick up the gun.

Kate worked at the ties around her wrists.

"It's a nice move, you almost made it." Luthur said looking at John.

Kate suddenly swung around knocking John back against his truck knocking Aeron with him, causing her to fall to the ground and him to drop the gun.

Luther walked over before backhanding John back against his open truck door shattering the glass before he lands unconscious on the ground. Luther moved again towards him.

An arrow pierces one of the vampires and Sam and Dean ran out from the trees. Dean paused and lined up and shoot another vampire with his crossbow.

Sam moved towards Luther who backhands him.

Dean grabbed a machete and turned to help but Luther has his arm around Sam's throat.

"Don't! I'll break his neck. Put the blade down." Luther said narrowing his eyes.

Dean froze for a moment not moving. He watched Luther tightened his hold on his brother's neck cutting his air supply off completely. He dropped his machete to the ground.

"You people. Why can't you leave us alone. We have as much right to live as you do."

"I don't think so." Aeron said her voice laced with anger causing Luther to turn and face her. She raised the Colt and shot him between the eyes with ease. She watched Luther let go of Sam who stumbled away, gasping for air.

Dean quickly pulled Sam behind him as he watched a sigil appear where the bullet had hit Luther and he stumbled back. A brief flash of light reflected his skeleton, before he fell to his knees.

"Lutherrrr!" Kate screamed out in horror as she watched another flash of light passed through her mate and he slumped to the ground dead. Kate started towards Aeron and Aeron pointed the gun at her.

Another vampire grabbed her and pulled her towards their car. They took off, wheels squealing into the night.

John smiled in satisfaction as Aeron handed him the gun back.

Sam, Dean, and Aeron were packing their things up when John entered the room.

"So boys."

The two brothers turned to face their father.

"Yes sir." Sam said softly knowing that they most likely were about to get into some serious trouble.

"You ignored a direct order back there."

"Yes sir."

"Yeah but we saved your ass." Dean said looking up at his father.

Sam looked sideways at his brother, nervously.

John looked at Dean steadily.

Dean swallowed the lump in his throat.

"You're right."

"I am?"

"It scares the hell out of me. You two are all I've got. But I guess we are stronger as a family. So...we go after this damn thing. Together."

"Yes sir." The brothers said in unison.

John turned his attention to Aeron. "Aeron."

Aeron slowly turned her head to look at him. "John?"

"Would you come with us?"

Aeron blinked a few times. "I'll stay as long as you need me."

Sam pursed his lips together unsure.
