It's all your fault Castiel!

Chapter 3--The First Hunt

I follow dean and Castiel to the cemetery. The moon is the only light in the sky. My eyes quickly adjust to the dim light. As I walk, I try to watch my step. The ground is very bumpy and uneven.

Suddenly I get a cold chill. It was warm for a September night until this cold chill. I glance over at dean, who is giving Cas a worried look. Dean nods to him and then turns to me.

"Ok, let us know if you see anything." Dean says to me quietly. I nod. My hands are shaking. I grip the shotgun tighter to stop the shaking. I'm terrifed. Cas and dean begin to walk again, I follow behind closely.

As much as I want to look at the ground, I have to look around to spot the ghosts. Every sound makes me jump. A crow flying away almost makes me pull the trigger on the shotgun. Dean stops by a grave.

"This it. Charli, how good are you at shooting?"

"I think I can protect you guys" I say. I'm pretty good at shooting. My father used to take me deer hunting.

"Alright. Get ready." Dean grabs a shovel from out of a bag. Castiel just watches as dean begins to dig into the grave.

I see something in the corner of my eye. I turn my head to see a ghost about 20 feet from me. My heart jumps into my throat. I aim the shotgun at it quickly. I look down the sights and pull the trigger. The ghost vanishes.

I look around. Another one. Before I realize it, I hear my shotgun go off and the ghost vanish.

"Charli!" Cas yells to me. I turn to see a ghost with its hands around cas. I take aim at the ghost. I fire and hit. I quickly reach into my pocket there find shotgun shells full of rock salt. I quickly begin to load the gun.

"Charli!" Dean yells. I turn to him. He is swinging his shovel in the air. The ghost is trying to strangle him. I finish reloading and shoot the spirit. Dean quickly goes back to digging.

I get a strange feeling to drop my gun. I'm not sure what's going on. I turn to cas who is running away from a spirit. Another one is trying to get dean. I toss my gun on the ground.

"Charli!" Castiel yells "what are you doing?!"

"Trust me." I say quietly. I let the strange feeling take over me. I feel my body grow warm. My eyesight is suddenly filled with light. I can feel my energy being drained out. I fall to my knees. Can can feel my consciousness slipping.

I can hear Castiel calling my name, but his voice sounds fuzzy and far away. I force myself to open my eyes. The bright light blinds me at first, then my eyes adjust. I sit up and see cas. He looks so worried as he looks back at me.

"Charli!" He hugs me tightly.

"Ow" I say. For some reason, I'm in pain.

"I'm sorry" he leases me. "I was worried..."

Dean walks in the room and looks at me. A slight smile crosses his lips but quickly fades. Dean walks over to the bed and sits on the edge.

"Would you care to explain what the hell happened?" He says

I open my mouth but I don't know what to say. "I.....I don't know..."

"She is as clueless as we are dean." Castiel says.

"What...what happened...?" I ask.

"You..you dropped you gun and there was a flash of white light. All the ghosts were...exorsiced. it seems you have some kind of power.."

"The man upstairs must like you charli." Dean says. "He likes me too. I'm a vessel" dean rolls his eyes.

"I know. TV show. Remeber? "

"That's right. Crazy people. Who would want to watch our lives?"

I smile as I raise my hand. "You're a hero Dean. You save people's lives. It's amazing how talented you are." I say. Dean rubs his face but I can see his cheek slightly pink. Dean blushing?

Dean coughs before he starts talking "I know that! I save people left and right."

"Well, what are we going to do about this...power?" Cas asks.

"Well, we use it. Why wouldn't we use it?!" Dean starts talking loud.

"Well what about her?" Castiel looks at me with a blank face.

"She will have to come along for the ride."

I am in too much shock to say anything. I can feel my anger rising up.

"She is a pagan. She has...emotions..she must have something to say about this" Cas and dean both turn to me. I don't say anything. I don't want to be in this situation.

"Charli?" Dean's voice snaps me out of a trance.

"I..will help you guys." I force a smile. Why can't I say no? I hate myself for this. People can push me around. Because I'm not asertive.

"Great" dean says. He stands and walks to the door. "Let's go out for lunch"

Castiel stands and looks at me. "You good enough to go eat?"

"I think I'll just stay here..."I slump back into the bed. Castiel follows dean and they both leave.

I..I don't want to be this way. I want to love myself. I can't take this anymore.

I'm going to fix this. Tonight at midnight.
