The Cell

11: Ripper of Monterey

I woke up and the first thing I smelt was blood, I jolted up, it wasn't human blood... I get out of bed slowly and vamp speed downstairs to see Stefan just mauling a squirrel, I stare wide eyed.

"Stefan..." I say, he looks up quickly, his face covered in blood.

"Yes Dean?" He says.

"Why the fuck are you eating a squirrel?" I ask, crossing my arms and raising a brow.

"I uh can't drink human blood" he says.

"Why not?" I ask.

"I get a little... crazy" he says.

"You mean humanity-less" I say, he nods slowly and I nod as well.

"Dean..? What's going on..?" Cas asks walking down the stairs with Becky and Chuck, funny, I didn't hear them get up, I turn to them and see them staring almost horrified at Stefan.

"Nothing guys. Go back to my room I'll bring up some food" I say, he nods slowly and turns around and they walk back upstairs, I sigh and turn to Stefan.

"You have to be careful, they know about vampires but they don't like watching me drink and they sure as hell won't enjoy watching you maul a squirrel" I say rolling my eyes and going to the kitchen where I start cooking breakfast, he nods and sighs.

"Sorry" he says, I wave it off.

"Whatever" I mutter and continue cooking, secretly putting vervain in the breakfast.

"I was the Ripper of Monterey" he says, I clench my jaw.

"I don't care who you were. Hurt my friends and I'll rip your heart out" I say calmly, he doesn't respond, I finish cooking and then vamp speed upstairs to my room.

"Hey guys" I say, they look up and wave tiredly, I sigh and walk in, I hand them food.

"You all need to start drinking vervain and putting it in your food" I say.

"Why?" They ask, I don't respond.

"Dean why?" Cas asks, I sit down.

"Don't worry you guys are okay you just really need to do that. For me. Please" I say pleadingly, they sigh and nod.

"I already put some in your food" I say.

"How?" They ask, I pull an empty vial from my sweatpants pocket and they nod in understanding and start eating, I start to get thirsty, I try to hide that I'm thirsty but of course those god damn veins had to show up.

"Dean? Are you okay?" Cas asks, I look at him.

"Huh? Uh yeah I'm fine Cas" I say and rub my face, positive the veins are gone.

"I'll uh be right back" I say and vamp sapped downstairs and into the kitchen, muttering a good morning to everyone who was awake, I open the fridge and pull out a bottle of blood and rip the cap off and down it quickly, when I take the bottle away from my lips everyone is looking at be weirdly.

"I slept in a bedroom full of humans. Their hearts were pounding in my ears and I could smell their blood. I'm thirsty" I say, they nod slowly and I go back to my room to see them done with their food, I swallow thickly and hold my breath.

"How did you guys sleep?" I ask.

"Fine" Becky says.

"Great" Chuck says.

"Like a baby" Cas says, I smile.

"Awesome" I say, I didn't sleep too well, I was up most of the night making sure they didn't get hurt, I didn't trust Stefan and now? I really really don't trust him.
