Subconsciously, I knew that I had been sucked into Dean's past. I however, had no control over what I saw. It was like I was forced to experience exactly how he felt, how he reacted. This was a painful memory.

I woke to the sound of soft spoken words from my parents in their room across the hall. I smiled; I loved the sound of their voices. It always brings me comfort.

I dozed off for a little while, not exactly sleeping but somewhere in between.

The sound of my mother's scream brang me to consciousness. I jumped out of bed as quickly as my little legs would take me and grabbed my favorite teddy for comfort.

"Please, please stop! Please!" my mother's voice begged. I hurried to their door.

Peaking around the door frame I grabbed my teddy to my chest and took in the scene before me.

My father's body lay crumpled on the floor, a dark frame of a man had his lips to my father's throat. I watched the man's adams apple bob as he drained away my fathers life.

I looked back to my mother who sat sobbing on the ground; one of her arms was bent in an unnatural angle. She weakly held a long, thin knife up to defend herself but I knew that wouldn't help her. Another dark frame walked towards her. His face was set in a amused half grin and his sharp teeth were visible, "You think that knife will ssssave you? Your power will be mine sssoooon and I will enjoy taking itttt."

My mother's eyes swung towards my frozen silhouette and went wide with desperation.

With one last effort, my mother screamed, "Run Dean!" as she dived at the figure with her knife raised. He easily caught her by her neck and slammed her against the wall. He snapped her neck with a sickening crack.

I did what my mother asked. I ran down the stairs and out the front door towards the house my parents told me to go to if anything should happen.

Tears were streaming down my face as my hand reached out to knock on the door. Moments later Mr Slade opened the door and crouched down to look me in the eye.

"What happened Dean?" he pulled me into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he stood.

"My parents are dead." I started sobbing.

I came back to reality and found myself slumped against a muscled shoulder. No one has seemed to notice my episode. No one but Dean, of course.

I straighten my body and wiped the thin layer of sweat that covered my brow off with the back of my shaking hand.

I had just witnessed the most personal and traumatic memory of Dean's past. I felt filthy. 

Dean, probably sensing my emotions, whispered to me, "It's okay Tammy. You would of found out anyway. I just wished I could of told you myself instead of you seeing it."

I started to reply but Mr Slade cut me off, "Ms Lilith, you can see me after class, same to you Mr Myer. I will not have you interrupting my class." My jaw dropped in surprise, we weren't even talking loudly!

Dean replied, "Yes sir," and Mr Slade went back to his lecture. I looked at my watch, we had fifteen minutes until the end of class. Good, it will give me time to get my head around what I just witnessed.

Fifteen minutes later, the Twins and Jen waved goodbye to me and left the room with everyone else. Dean and I stood in font of Mr Slade's desk. 

"Tammy, you're going to have learn to block this power. People will start getting suspicious every time you slump over onto Dean's shoulder." So apparently Mr Slade had noticed the vision.
