Aphrodite's Warrior

Chapter One

Dean groaned as he rolled over, picking up his ringing phone and flipping it open. "Hello?"

"Dean?"

He bolted upright at the feminine voice. Although it was unknown to him, it sent an electric charge up his spine, waking him up entirely. "Yeah."

"Dean Winchester?"

He wiped his face, "That's what I said, sweetheart."

"You don't know me. But a long time ago you and your brother went to a school in Fairfax, Indiana for a short time. I-I was there. We were in the same grade, but you wouldn't remember me. You rarely ever even attended class."

Dean furrowed his brow in confusion. "How'd you get this number?"

"I never met your dad personally, but I know he helped my grandmother with something. My parents never actually told me what, but they told me if I ever came across something that I couldn't handle on my own... something strange... that I should call the number. I honestly didn't expect the number to work for anything, but in turn I was given your number on the voicemail message."

"Right." He stifled a yawn. "You said we went to school together?"

"Like I said, you were never really in class... and I was a bit of a loner back then. But I didn't call to reminisce about old crushes."

"Wait. What?" He smirked, hoping for further explanation.

"I called because I need your help. How soon can you be in Seattle?"

"Uh... I'd need a few days, darlin'."

"Fine. I'll text you an address. I'm there every night except Sundays and Mondays."

He heard a click. "Hello?"

He waited another moment and then hung up, facing his brother who was just waking up. "Looks like we got another job... in Seattle."

"Seattle? Who do we know in Seattle?"

"She's actually from Fairfax, Indiana... she went to Truman High with us. I think she had a crush on me."

"Seriously? How'd she--"

"Apparently dad was close by the whole time, working on something to help her grandmother. Anyway, she needs help." He got up, heading to the bathroom.

"What's her name?"

Dean stopped at the bathroom door, "I, uh... I don't know. I never asked."

Sam rolled his eyes, "How do we know who we're meeting?"

"I have a feeling she'll recognize me." Dean smirked and dived into the bathroom, starting the shower.

It took the brothers three days to reach Seattle, sleeping in the car along the way. The first night they spent in a hotel, showering and getting a real night's sleep; it also happened to be Monday and he knew the unknown girl wouldn't be there. Tuesday night they were at the club just after 7pm. By eight, they were still sitting at the table without a girl approaching them.

"Dean, how are we supposed to know who this girl is?"

"I'm telling you, this girl will find me." He half glared at his brother's turned cheek, slowly turning towards the stage as the next act was being announced:

"We know why you're all really here..."

The rather packed club for a Tuesday night was mostly men with a scattering of women and all cheered.

"Ladies and gentlemen... the Sex Kittens!"

A group of three women walked on stage, the crowd cheering. One took the drums while the other two picked up guitars, one a bass and the lead singer took the electric. A fourth male member took the stage from the back, placing themselves at the piano/DJ station.
