Those rights belong to their creators.** ***Takes place within season one*** It was New Year's Eve when the BAU was called in with a new and pressing case. In the course of two weeks, over twenty bodies had been found and identified in Rockford, Illinois and at least half a dozen more bodies yet to be identified. With no apparent connection between the victims and a very unusual signature, this is not just another serial killer. Matters become even more pressing when on New Year's day one of their own disappears, all clues pointing towards the serial killer... The team races to find the face behind the crimes before it's too late, but something unusual complicates their search. What if their teammate doesn't want to be saved...?

"The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls." -Edgar Allan Poe Ebonique Aeron is not your usual hunter. She was taken in by Bobby Singer as his own when she had the appearance of a seventeen-year-old and he taught her everything he knew about the job. He didn't really want to get her involved, but he wanted her to be prepared for anything. Little did he know she already had decades of tough times behind her... To say the least, Bobby was happy when she decided to purchase an old studio and remodel it into a painting studio. She took a few hunting jobs on the side every now and then when he would toss one her way, but she was content with just painting and being paid to do it. That all changed the day the Winchester brothers found her and informed her about Bobby's recent passing. With a case on hand, she agreed to help them. But things quickly turned sideways when a simple job turned into a whole scheme planned out by none other than the King of Hell himself. Frustrated to no end, Crowley kidnaps Ebonique but gets more than he bargained for when her past comes searching for her, even in the depths of Hell. Taken back to Ebonique's place of birth and where she spent the first few decades of her life in pain, Crowley finds himself powerless and nothing more than a human. And this is only the beginning... What will happen when red meets black?
