 It was late on a Friday night and the Les Amis were celebrating a successful protest at the Cafe Musain. They were only high schoolers but were still trying to make a valid difference. Not many people were at the old cafe at that hour so the Amis practically had the whole place to themselves. An old jukebox in the corner play soft music as a handful of the revolutionary students danced. Enjolras, Courfeyrac, and Combeferre; the chief, the centre and the guide; were sitting together at the counter, laughing at an awful joke from Feuilly. The night was peaceful and everyone felt as if nothing could go wrong. That is, until a muffled cry of pain came from the kitchen. The Friends of the ABC fell silent as Enjolras stood up.

"Monsieur Hucheloup?" the chief called out in concern. As he made his way into the kitchen, the others followed him timidly. Unfortunately, they were too late. As soon as they walked back into the kitchen, a guttural scream pireced the air and the students watched M. Hucheloup's heart be ripped from his chest by a creature atop him. The teenagers panicked and screamed in horror.

Cosette grabbed a knife closest to her and plunged it into the beast's back several times before letting it stick. To their dismay, that seemed to do nothing but anger the monster. It glared at the group and began making its way towards them. The Les Amis slowly backed up until their backs were against the wall. Cosette grabbed another knife, this time so did Bahorel and Enjolras. The three tried to protect their friends as best as they could but the beast snarled and snapped at them. Enjolras made the mistake of taking a swing at the creature. The knife clipped the monster's cheek but it lunged at Enjolras, swiping its claws at him and baring its mouth full of fangs.

Before it could bite the student, a gunshot rang out and the beast dropped dead. Courfeyrac pulled Enjolras away from the corpse as Combeferre put pressure on the gushing wound that was across his friend's chest and left arm. The Les Amis looked up as three men came out of the dark kitchen, one holding a smouldering gun. One of the men were significantly taller than the others. Another had a long trench coat along with a silvery blade and the third, the one with the gun, had a dark leather jacket.

Surprisingly, Jehan was the first to speak up. "Who the hell are you guys?" The tall one replied in a gruff voice.

"We're the Winchesters."

~Five Years Later~

Enjolras, Courfeyrac, and Combeferre walked down the large metal staircase covered in blood. Enjolras dropped a machete on to the war room table were Bossuet and Jehan were sharpening weapons.

"I may have taken this from the blunt pile," he explained before going to clean up.

Over the past five years, the Les Amis began hunting with the Winchesters. The students learned that there was an attack from a group of werewolves. They were trying to start Ragnarok. The attack killed most of the people at the city hall and destroyed a lot of the homes in town. The years of hunting made the Amis grow closer as a family but also changed them. They had to learn to kill and to lose people. Eventually, after much trial and error, they had found a good pattern. Jehan and Mairus weren't the best killers so they basically ran the base of operations; the pair mostly handled research and making sure everyone was okay before, during, and after the hunts. Joly was the local medic and he worked in local hospitals which came in handy to spot odd cases. Feuilly, Cosette, and Bahorel were the ones who got the cases that required more physical strength because, in the most forgiving sense, not many of the other Amis possesed much of that. Finally, Enjolras, Courfeyrac, and Combeferre were the other primary hunters. They had a good chemistry together and fought like a well oiled machine. Combeferre has an oddly extensive knowledge on lore and a helpful background with first aid. Courfeyrac is always quite hyper and that keeps him alive on the battlefield. He seems to always be thinking one step ahead and has quick reflexes which have saved his friends many times. Enjolras is a charming young man capable of being terrible; he has a strong urge to help as many people as he can but also can be ruthless. Together, the three friends balance each other out and create an amazing team of hunters.
