Family Remains

"No!"

"It's the fingerprint," I said stated, softly.

"You mean the same kind of fingerprint that all the victims had?" Dean asked, a strange tone to his voice.

I nodded and kept staring down at the imprint.

No, this can't be happening to me! I just found Jason, he still needs me, I can't find him and then die myself! I screamed to myself.

"Ash," Sam said, looking at me.

I glanced up to see everyone staring at me.

"I know what's going through your mind, but we won't let it happen," He said. "We'll stop it before it can do anything."

"How?" I asked, my voice breaking slightly.

Dean came over and pulled me into a tight hug.

"You're not going anywhere," He whispered to me. "I won't let you."

I took a deep breath and pulled away.

"Let's continue this plan of ours," I said, walking off to backstage.

I went up to my mirror and wiped my eyes of the couple tears that slipped out. Once I was satisfied that it no longer looked like I had almost cried, I looked around for Venus. I found her over in the corner talking to Lyla. They looked to be having a serious conversation, but I went over there anyways.

"Hey," I said enthusiastically.

They both looked at me. Lyla glared at me and Venus smiled.

"Hey," Venus replied.

Lyla stalked off without saying anything.

"What's up?" Venus asked.

I didn't notice that she had glanced down at my wrist.

"Wanna come to my place and have a drink?" I asked.

She quirked an eyebrow at me.

"Why?" She asked curiously.

I shrugged.

"You're the only one who's actually talked to since I arrived, plus you're nice to me," I said with a half smile. "You've also helped by explaining a few things and I just feel like I should thank you."

"No need to thank me, but sure," She said, showing off pearly white teeth by smiling fully.

"Wanna lift there or follow me?" I asked.

"I follow, but I want to change first," She told me.

"Yeah, I do too," I said following her to the bathroom after we grabbed our change of clothes.

After changing into a plain tank top and some shorts, I met Venus out in the parking lot.

"I'm in the black Impala," I told her.

She gave me a thumbs up and climbed into a bubblegum pink Nissan Micra Convertible that had the top down already. Getting into the Impala, I drove to the hotel. Sam and Dean had hitched a ride with Garth back to the hotel where they would wait for my signal-which will be a text message.

Getting to the hotel, we parked, and Venus followed me, making small talk.

"You live in a hotel?" She asked me, a slight grimace in her voice.

I giggled.

"No, my house flooded so I'm staying here until it's cleaned up," I lied, easily.

"Wow, how did it flood?" She asked as I opened the door.
