"When I was a toddler," I begin, "I couldn't get to sleep, look straight up, this, eight eyed, hairy ugly thing was staring straight at me, hanging over me on it's tread of web, the size of my head at the time, I was immediately paralysed by fear, then,..." I shiver and my voice gets shaky as I remember the whole thing, "...it, it, lowered itself onto me, then, started very slowly crawling all over me, my face, my body, my arms, my hands, me legs, my feet, then, as though it saw me as no treat, scurried onto my chest, raised it's front legs, and I saw the biggest set of fangs yet, it made a sort of screeching sound I'll never forget, mum came rushing in, swiped the thing off me into the wall and it went SPLAT, but the damage was done, I had been traumatised, at first mum thought I was dead, then, she then she listened for my heart beat, it was very loud and clear. After that, I was silent, didn't speak a word for weeks."
"Fair enough." Says in a quiet voice,
"Son of a, biiitch! You were just s a toddler? Man." Dean says like 'jee-sus CHRIST'. "Is it true? All those 'murders' all were set up? And that game?" Dean asks like 'tell me the truth'. I just nod sadly and Sam sits beside me and puts his arm around my shoulder and gently rubs them,
"I'm not just on the run from the town, oh no, I'm on the run and in hiding from 'Beast' their true name is 'True Vampires' they're the blood sucking ones, the ones who killed my kind." I state,
"You wouldn't be talking about the war would you?" Dean asks,
"That, wasn't a war, it was, a massacre, they were out numbered and yes 20 did escape but one by one were picked off, now, it's just her and a friend who she doesn't even know if he's still alive or not." Sam continues,
"You? You were the young vamp they followed weren't you?" Dean asks, I just nod again,
"My 'First Bite Night' it's a tradition, has to be done at the age of about 150-200 human years or 3-4 vampire years, when a young vamp, E.V, Evolved Vampire, what I am and as the Beasts call us 'Blunts', or Beast, has to have their first bite. But I was so resisting, the Beast saw me, they saw how resisting I was to do it to the guy, so, they decided enough was enough ad that they would wipe us all out as we were a threat cause we were getting to human like and the last thing they needed was us and humans forming an alliance, so, they came in their millions, and, attacked, I'll never forget it, the screams, the smells, the scene that was playing out in front of me." I say as I remember that terrible night and hug my knees tighter and stops rocking,
"Heavy." Sam says like 'wow!',
"Tell me about it, now I understand what it felt like to be that far down that road like that guy, unlike him, I'll live forever unless someone kills me, and I have to repopulate my sub-species. Now I'm being honest when I say, the only thing stopping Beasts from conquering you all, is the fact my sub-species is still alive." I state,
"They're afraid of you?" Dean asks,
"Only cause they know I'll do everything in my power to bring E.Vs back." I sigh.
"There's still one question unanswered Sam." Dean says,
"What's that?" He asks,
"What's she doing here?" He asks,
"I said that's she could stay with us until we find a safe place for her. Dean, she's the last of species and I good one too, please Dean, she has no where and no one else, besides Jake I'm the only human who's shown her sympathy, understanding and kindness, and, I do t want to go behind your back again." Sam says, I don't know what he means by 'again' but all I know is that Dean is making up his mind. He's standing in front of me, scanning me, analysing me with his gorgeous green eyes, wait, what? Never mind, anyway, as if to signal that he's made up his mind. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly,
"Ok, ok yes, fine, yes she can stay, but! She must not get in our way, will keep her nose clean, and help us out, clear?" He says. Sam and I nod and Dean goes into the bathroom to have a shower.

Later that night, I'm sitting on the couch drinking soy and going over the fact that I had just been accepted by both Winchester brothers, the ones who shoot first and ask questions later. Still, I take another swig of my soy and look out the window at the night. Here in America, it gets pretty cold, but tonight, I could feel the warm night air, perfect for a flight around, no, not tonight. Sam's in his on his laptop room with Dean who has a few papers looking for a hunt. Take a third swig of the soy and lean back in the couch. Well, at least there'll be no more people 'hunting' me. It gets really annoying cause either it doesn't work at all, or it's reality painful or both. I finish the soy and put it in the bin. I suddenly remembered that I'd never had beer before, so I go to the fridge and take out one,
"You look a bit to young for alcohol." Dean says standing in the door way, "Chuck us one would you?" He asks. I grab one out for him and give it to him,
"I'm 1000 and something years old, after I get the the four digits, I don't count the last two digits. Anyway, 1000 human years is 20 vampire years." I reply as I open mine. Dean who already has his open and had taken a swig of it replies with. Surprised tone,
"Really? You sure? You look 16, 17 at the oldest."
"Are you flirting?" I ask like 'really?',
"No of course not, it was a thing called a compliment." He says in a 'know-it-all' tone,
"I know what a compliment is, was just checking, that's all." I reply,
"So, you really the last of your kind?" He asks gently as we both sit down on the couch,
"Besides Franda, my late sister's boyfriend who is my best friend, yes, he should be alive, he made a promise to me, when me sister was killed only about 5 vampire years ago, that he wouldn't commit suicide, either he's broken that promise or the Beasts or Masters got him." I say solemnly,
"Masters?" Dean asks.
