I like you Emma, I mean I really like you and it scares the hell outta me because in this line of work we try hard not to have attachments of any kind" he said as he looked at the ground. I felt happy, I waited a long time to hear these words from Dean but the timing sucked. It was my fault though, maybe if I hadn't run last year things would be different.

 I leaned over and as I was getting closer to him he put both of his hands on the sides of my face and just looked at me, really looked at me like he was taking everything in. He smiled and gave me a soft kiss, my whole world turned upside down in a matter of moments.

 I was in heaven, I felt it all through my entire body, fire. Then something else began happening inside of me, it felt like my insides were burning. I opened my eyes and leaned back. There was Jeff watching us from inside the house with an angry expression across his face.

 "What's wrong?" asked Dean. "I...I don't know, I feel strange, it's like fire inside me" I said. He was looking at me with fear in his eyes, I know what he was thinking because I was thinking the same thing. "It's happening isn't it?" I asked him. 

He put his fist up to his mouth and he looked lost in thought. Just then Sam came out onto the porch. "Boy you two are sure a big thing tonight, I think your friend Jeff likes you Emma. 

I mean I kinda figured it was gonna happen but you two move like two old people tryna date" he said with a laugh as he came outside. He stopped and looked at us intently, he knew something was up. "You okay?" he asked me. "No, I think something is happening" I said. They looked at each other. "I'll tell Denver and you stay with her Dean, don't take your eyes off of her" said Sam as he went back inside.

 The feeling building inside me was getting worse, I felt as if I was trembling and Dean held my hand the entire time. He wasn't afraid of me. Everyone came outside and began questioning me, asking if I was okay and what was I feeling, it was pissing me off. "Just shut up, all of you please" I said. I wanted to curl up and hide somewhere. 

"All of you, inside now, I will let you know if we need you" said Dean to everyone. "No, to hell with that, I'm staying here with her" said Jeff. "Jeff, come on inside, we need to give her some space, Dean has it under control" said Jerry. He nodded at Dean while leading Jeff back in the house. "Emma I...please be okay" said Jeff before disappearing inside. "Denver.." said Dean but she cut him off. "Nope, don't even say it, I'm staying right here" she said to Dean and sat down beside me to hold my other hand. 

The brothers looked at each other and Sam nodded and went inside. "Ugh, it hurts, it's getting hard to breathe" I said as I squeezed his hand. My insides were burning up and it was getting hard to bare but I knew I had to hold on for as long as I could, hold onto my humanity. My body began to throb, I couldn't contain it anymore, I let out a scream and fell to the floor of the porch. My body writhed in pain and I could hear and feel Dean and Denver trying to hold me still. "Just try to breathe Emma, please hold on, I shoulda guessed that we'd end the night with you in pain in my arms" said Dean while trying to force a smile. 

Sam was there now too and Jeff and Jerry in the background, they were all armed which was smart. I felt the pain lessening, am I dying I wondered. I looked up into his face and I knew I must look better because the expression changed on his face. He didn't look so terrified anymore. Suddenly the pain was gone, everything went black.

I am a werewolf and I am chasing my prey, I grab hold of him and rip him to shreds. He doesn't stand a chance, his blood oozes out everywhere. I come to and see Dean's bloody corpse next to me. Sam is there and shoots me in the heart, it's over.

Chapter Six

I open my eyes, the sun is bright and everything looks familiar. I smell coffee and cigar smoke, Jerry smokes that brand, I think. My head is pounding, it feels like I drank a keg or two, what the hell happened last night?. I look around and I'm in my room, I sit up and my head starts spinning. I hear laughter from somewhere in another room so I decide to get up. 

After a shower I make my way into the kitchen and find everyone sitting at the table having coffee and talking, they immediately look up at me. 

"Hey, good morning it's good to see you up and around" said Denver. "Morning, that coffee smells great" I said as I poured myself a cup. 

I stood at the counter to drink my cup and I was aware of the prying eyes in the room but I pretended not to notice.Minutes passed and no one said a word, no one offered anything about the previous night.

 "Look I don't know what all happened, I am dying to know so please someone, anyone tell me. The last thing I remember was laying on the floor in excruciating pain and then nothing and I woke up in my room" I said.

 "Uh well I wish I knew what to say Emma but the truth is, is that we're all kinda stumped here" said Sam. 

"You didn't change, we all thought you were but it just suddenly stopped and you blacked out so I took you to your bed and we took turns keeping an eye on you the rest of the night" said Dean. "I didn't change? Why not?" I asked confused. "Relax Em and be grateful, we may not have any answers yet but we're working on it" said Denver.

 Sam's phone started ringing so he got up to take the call in the other room and I kinda had a feeling it was about me. "Okay look I really appreciate everything you are all doing I really do but if there's any kind of news about what's happening to me then please share it with me because god knows I am going out of my mind here" I said. 

Everyone nodded in agreement. "That was Bobby, he found some lore that is sort of similar to what's going on um he is gonna send me what he found" said Sam. Sam and Dean left the room, I was gonna follow but Denver and jerry intercepted me and I couldn't be rude.

"So, what's the news? Please tell me there's away out of this without...you know" Dean said. "Well according to Bobby, let meremind you though there isn't really anything about our exact experience andall he found were "similar" situations over many years.

 She could be immune,which is the more believable scenario considering the other bite from last yearand she didn't change then either" said Sam. "You said situations, what elseare you not saying" said Dean.

 "Uh it actually sounds kinda strange butapparently there's a case where the person was sort of infected by both bitesand they didn't change either right away but over time they started developingthe traits of both species, the strength, the thirst and eventually the animalinside just took over and there's another case, it's more of a legend reallybut supposedly there was an instance where the reason it took so long toactually transform was because the change was permanent" said Sam. 

"So let meget this straight, she could be immune which makes more sense or she could justbe turning a hell of a lot slower than usual and into something much moredangerous that will be next to impossible to stop" said Dean. Sam nodded. "Howlong?" asked Dean. "Uh the lore is pretty vague on this but it looks like onlya few days maybe weeks at the most but Dean did you hear what I said? There maybe full time permanent werewolves out there" said Sam. "No, I won't let thathappen to her, this girl has been through hell and back in one year Sam. I willfind a way to help her because that's what we do, we save people" said Dean.
