Chap 1
Hey, guys! What's up? I'm Lexi Winchester. I'm a hunter. Ya know, "saving people, hunting things, the family business." That's what my dad always says. But wait, don't let me get too far, I should probably tell you how it all started.

When my Uncle Sam was 6 months old, a demon killed his mom. Ever since then, my grandpa, who died when I was 6, my Uncle Sam, and my dad, Dean, hunted the creatures that hurt people. As for me, my mom dropped me off with my dad when I was 1. He tells me she didn't want kids.

But anyway, that's the story. Now I'm 17, and even though I hunt occasionally, when dad lets me, I have to go to school. I've tried to convince dad to let me help him and drop out of school, but he won't listen. So I made a deal; I go to school and we stay in the same place until I graduate. He agreed, but he and Sam go all over the place when they're on a case.

At this moment, I'm walking to my locker to grab my jacket. Why do they make schools so freaking cold?! As I'm grabbing my jacket, I feel two hands cover my eyes. "Guess who?" A voice says into my ear, making me shiver. I turn around, and look up into chocolate brown eyes, and smile.
"Hey, Jake."I say, "have a good weekend?" He nods, "Yeah, pretty good. How bout you? Do any hunting?" He asks, knowingly. I shake my head. Jake is the only one who knows about what we do. The only reason I told him was because I got hurt on a job, and I asked him to cover for me at school. And because I like him. Like, a lot. He knows I like him, at least I think he does, and I know he likes me, but we haven't kissed or gone on a date or anything. I've known him since we moved here, so about 6 years. He's my best friend.

I wish I could add boyfriend to that list.

Chap 2
My dad and Sam are out in Kansas, and I'm home alone, which wouldn't be bad normally, however, I keep hearing this scratching noise. I'm so scared right now. You are a hunter, Alexis! My conscience screams. Yeah, you're right. I'm not scared of a little noise. I've killed vampires, wendigos, leviathans, even a demon or two, I agreed. So I got up and stepped outside.

I go around the side of the house, and look up where I thought I heard the noise. I see a dark shadow. I almost scream, but stop when I see his face.
"Jake!?" He turns and squints, "Hey, Lex. Whatcha doing up so late?"
He climbs down while I half yell, half whisper.
"What am I doing up, in my house? What are you doing here?"
"My moms out on a date, she told me to stay out of the house tonight, guess he's the one." He says sarcastically. His mom wasn't around much, she liked to date a lot and sometimes she did drugs, most nights coming home drunk with a new man.
"Okay, well, you could've called. Or here's an idea, knock." I emphasis the 'k'. He smiles and nods apologetically.
"Sorry." I just laugh and hug him. Darn this boy, I can't ever stay mad at him when he smiles like that. "Come into the house, we can watch a movie or something." I walk up the steps and open the door, motioning for him to follow.

We pick out a movie, some horror film Jake wanted to see, and sat on the couch. I sit on one end, he sit on the other. Not even halfway through, and I was scared to death. I wanted to get closer when the first jump scare came, but I was nervous he'd think I was clingy. I zone back into reality just as something really scary happens. I scream, and jump, ending up smack dab right next to Jake. I smile, still frightened, but he just laughs and puts him arm around me. I look into his eyes, he looks into mine, and I feel myself moving closer and closer, this is it! We're gonna kiss! My insides are screaming. But right before we touch, he pulls away, and smiles softly. "I really like you, Lex." I just nod. It's all I can do. He leans closer, presses his lips against mine, I feel fireworks going off everywhere. I pull back, "I really like you too, Jake." He smiles. Wait. We just kissed. What does this mean? "I think the movies over." I look at the tv, and sure enough, the credits are rolling.

But who cares. The boy who I've liked forever just kissed me.

Chap 3
I wake up Saturday morning, on my couch, realizing me and Jake fell asleep there last night. I'm alone though. I hear footsteps, just as I see Jake walk down the stairs. "Good morning." He smiles, kissing my forehead as he goes into the kitchen. I follow, "good morning." Okay, this is sort of awkward. Are we a thing? Or was that a one time occurrence? "Alright, this is weird." I break the silence. "Are we dating now? Was that a one time thing? Or what?" He looks at me, "Ummm, I don't know." I stare for a minute, then reply, "Oh okay." I'm confused. Jake walks to the living room and sits down, leaving me alone.

Dad is supposed to be home today. But he hasn't texted, called, or anything to let me know he's okay. He's okay, right? Yeah, yeah, he's probably just busy. They do have to eat and sleep. Dad does like his pie. But what if....no, Don't think like that. He's fine. He's always fine. Maybe I should try calling. I pull out my phone and press his quickdial, it's ringing, but no answer.

Okay now I'm getting worried. I go to find Jake. I asked him to stay until Sam and dad get back. He's on the porch so I go sit beside him. "They're not answering their phones." I say, biting my lip. I do that when I'm nervous or scared. He puts his arm around me, pulling me close, "hey, they're fine. They know what they're doing. Maybe they're...eating." He smiles. I try to relax. "Yeah, probably. But it's already 6 p.m." I starting to panic again. "They could be hurt or-"
"Look if they're not back by tonight, then we'll worry. They've been late before." He assures me one more time that they're fine. But I'm still really worried. He's my dad. I have my uncle, but me and my dad? We have a special connection. Other than Jake, my father is my best friend. And I would die if anything happened to him.

Chap 4
It's Sunday morning, and dad and Sam aren't back yet. I got up early to see if they had gotten in late, but no one but me, and Jake were here. I'm getting ready to go look for them, and Jake walks in.
"What're doing there?" He asks, even though he knows fully well what I'm doing.
"I'm going to look for dad."
"And Sam?"
"Yes. Well?"
"Well, what?"
"Are you coming or staying?" I look at him, waiting for his reply. "Coming. Wait here." He runs upstairs to get his stuff, then we go outside.

I wish I had the Impala. But dad won't let even me drive it. I have a baby blue Mustang, it's really nice, but I really want Baby. We put our bags in the back and climb in, me in the drivers seat, Jake in the passenger. "Wanna listen to music?" He asks, grabbing his phone.
"Sure. But not-"
Too late. He turns on Metallica.
I quickly switch it off. I hate Metallica.
"Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole." I smile, putting on The 1975. Jake rolls his eyes, but I see him smile.

Last I heard from dad, they were in Lawrence, Kansas, which is where dad and Sam used to live. We have quite a drive, so we take turns driving. I turn on the GPS on dads phone, but I'm not sure it's working. It says he's not moved in a while, which scares me. I'm getting sleepy. I lay my head back, say a quick prayer for Sam and dad, and fall asleep.

When I wake up, were in Kansas. I look at Jake, "You drove the rest of the way? Aren't you tired? Why didn't you wake me up?" I rub my eyes and yawn.
"I figured you needed sleep, you've been worrying so much. Besides, I dont get tired driving." He replies. I lean over to kiss his cheek.
He blushes.
"Okay we better go. We don't have a lot of sunshine left." He pushes me towards my door. I step out of my car, checking dads GPS. "Okay, so, this says he's...this way." I start walking, Jake in tow.

When we get to where dad supposedly is, I look up at a big dark warehouse.
I sighed.
"Always someplace dark and scary, huh, dad?"

Chap 5
We walk into the warehouse. It's silent, which seems really bad to me. What if this is a trap? I don't even know what they were hunting. There's a big room which is where we are. I see 3 doors to my left. I look at Jake and nod towards them. He understands and we start walking, weapons at the ready.

We go to the first one, and I open it slightly, peeking in. Just an empty room. I turn around, and we go to the next one. Still empty. I sigh as we go to the last door. I take a breath and look in. Nothing.

I turn around to Jake, but he's not here. "Jake?" I start to panic. I look around but I don't see him anywhere. I start running towards the door, but before I reach it, two hands grab me. I try to scream but my assailant uses one hand to cover my mouth. He spins me around.

I'm staring into brown eyes. Jake! "Jake!" I whisper. He hugs me, then puts his finger up to shh me.
"What's wrong? Where'd you go?" I whisper.
"I'm sorry. I heard a sound upstairs. Vampires. Sam and Dean are up there." He points to upstairs.
"How many? I only have a small vial of dead mans blood."
He looks at me, "You just happen to keep blood from a dead guy with you at all times?"
"Jake, I learned how to shoot a shotgun at 6, of course I keep blood with me." I scoff. "Anyway, let's go."

There's a whole coven upstairs. I'm surprised they haven't found us yet. Vampires smell great. I mean, not smell great, they can-oh never mind.
We were going to go up there, but we don't have enough blood.
"Jake, we need to find Baby. It'll have what we need."
We start to head outside to find my dads car, but there's a woman in front of us. Let me rephrase, there's a vampire in front of us.

She looks at me strangely.

"Alexis?"

Chap 6
"How do you know my name?" I ask.
Something is familiar about her, but I can't think. I swallow. "So we were just about to leave." I grab Jakes hand and try to leave, but she's too fast.
"Wait, don't go, let me introduce you to my family. Guys! Come here, I want you to meet someone." Suddenly, we're surrounded by vamps. Nasty looking ones. Oh, where's dad when you need him?

I grab a piece of wood, and the tiny bit of blood I carry with me. But, it won't be enough. I take a deep breath, and try to stall.
"So, you didn't explain how you know my name?" I ask the woman.
"I've always thought Alexis was a beautiful name."
Okay, now I'm annoyed.
"How do you know my name?!?"
She smiles.
"Because, dear, I'm the one who named you."
I shake my head. "No. My mom left me because she didn't want kids."
The woman laughs. "Is that what Dean told you? Ohh, no, Alexis. I left because I didn't want my child to die by my hand."
"Ha! I can't believe this. No, I will not accept that my mother is a vampire!" A tear goes down my cheek. No. No! She can't be. My mom loved me.
Than why did she abandon you?
I look up, tears flowing, unashamed.
The woman smiles. "Alexis, why don't you become one of us? We have so much fun. Come on, join your mother."
I consider it. I've always wanted a mother. But...dad. I would miss him. Or would I? Would I care if I was a vampire? No, I would always miss him. He's my best friend.
"Lex, no! She's trying to get in your head!" I'd almost forgotten about Jake.
Jake. My..my..I'm not sure what we are, but I know I would miss him too. I would miss them all. Dad, Sam, Jake.

"No."

Chap 7
She looks mad.
"What?"
"I said, no."
"But, Alexis, don't you miss your mother?"
"My mothers dead. She had been since she left me."
She growls. "I will not stand for this! Alexis, come here! I am, and always will be your mother."
"No! You may look like my mother, but you are not my mother. Not anymore."
"Alexis, don't make me hurt you, darling." She takes a step.
"Too late. You hurt me when you left me. No, I don't remember it. But I remember times you should've been there! My birthdays, my first day of school. Where were you, mom?" I'm screaming at this point, as well as crying. "You know who has always been there?! Dad! Sam! Even grandpa! But never my mother! Not the woman who gave birth to me. So, no, you are not my mother."
She activates her fangs.
"You know what? I don't even care!" She cackles, "I don't feel bad at all. But, I might a little when I kill you." She turns to her vampire friends, "what do you guys think? Think I'll feel bad when I kill my own daughter? Oh, wait, I don't have a daughter anymore it seems. Oh well." She smiles, showing two rows of razor sharp teeth.

This is bad, really, really bad. I look at Jake. Somehow, I think he's taking this better than me. We're doomed.

I see a dark head tiptoe behind the vampire. Dad! Yes! Then I see a tall dark head. Uncle Sam! I start walking backwards, slowly pulling a piece of wood I found and putting blood on it. The vampires step forward everytime I step back.

But then one of them sniffs the air. Oh no! He turns around. One by one, they all turn around. All but one. My mother.
"I don't wanna kill you." I say.
She laughs, "Funny. Gimme the knife, Alexis."
I step back. She steps forward. "No."
"Give me the knife!" She yells as she jumps toward me. At this point I noticed that all the other vampires are dead. And everyone's watching me.

Chap 8
"Please don't make me do this. I don't want to kill my own mother." I'm still crying, but every second I spend talking to her, I get more and more angry. How dare she leave her daughter?! Maybe I do want to kill my own mother. No. Even if she did leave, I love her. At least, I love who I thought she was. But she didn't want. Maybe she never wanted me.
"Did-did you ever love me?" I ask in a small voice.
The woman who left me gets closer. "Darling Alexis. Before you were born, I considered getting rid of you. But when you came, I thought you were beautiful. I just had to keep you. Oh well, minds change, don't they?" She laughed. Okay she is getting on my last nerve.

I storm towards her. "Lex!" Dad shouts, I turn. He looks at me, communicating just by expression. I shake my head, knowing he's telling me he can do it. He can finish her. But this is my battle. I have to do it. I breath, turn back, and step forward.

We circle each other, me with a stake, and her with her teeth. You actually have to do something. It's you...or her.
I charge, she charges. She grabs my arm and plunges her teeth into it.
"Tszzzz." I grit my teeth. Who knew getting bit by a vampire hurt so much?
I pivot. She anticipated my move, and flips me, throwing me down. Right on my leg. Pain shoots up my entire leg. I can't tell if it's broken. I stand up, my arm throbbing, I wince every time I put weight on my leg.
"Just give up, dear. I promise not to make it painful." She smiles, turning around to face dad.
"And I promise I won't make you watch me kill our daughter." I'm struggling to stay up. But the pain is too much. I see dad run over and grab the stake, as I faint.

Deans POV
She turns to face me. "And I promise I won't make you watch me kill our daughter." I see Lex drop. I run and grab the stake from her hand.
I scream at Jake and Sam to grab her.
"Get her out of here!"
Sam nods. "Come on, Jake."
I turn back to Olivia.
"Oh, deany-boy. She's so cute. I see a lot of you in her." Her voice drips with mock.
"Well, seeing as you left, then that would make sense, wouldn't it?"
I lunge, but she easily steps aside. She tries to kick me, but I grab her leg and twist. Hard. She growls, and punches me right in the mouth. I taste blood. I grab her fist and force her to the ground. I stick the stake to her chest.
"Do it, but we both know you don't have the heart." She spits.
"Go. Go far, far away." I pull the stake away. Even if she is a vampire, she's still the mother of my daughter. She gets up, smiles, and starts to run. I stop her.
"One more thing: stay away from Alexis, touch her, it'll be the last thing you do."

Chap 9
I wake up in my bed, my leg in a cast, my arm in just a bandage. I notice crutches leaning on the wall. I lift my good leg over to the floor, then slowly do the same with my broken leg. The pain has lessened, but it still hurts like heck. My arm doesn't hurt that too bad anymore. However, I can't move it like I can my other arm. With luck, I won't turn into a bloodsucking demon. Sam told me what happened, but I haven't talked to dad about it.

I'm kinda glad she's alive. I miss who she used to be. I know I was really little when she left, but I remembered a couple things. Like how she used to sing me to sleep every night. She had a really pretty voice. And her laugh. I remember feeling safe just from her laugh.

I grab the crutches, putting one under each of my arms. I gently push up, groaning.
"Hoooo, wow." Who knew pain is my new best friend? I practice with the crutches, because, when you broken a leg, and your arm doesn't work as well, even something built to help you walk isn't that easy to use. I hobble downstairs, but it's fairly early. No one wakes up around here until at least 11. Except for me, of course. I walk down the hall, and notice Sams door was open.

I knock gently. I haven't talked to him in forever.
"Come in." I open the door fully and go in. "Hey." I smile.
"Hey. Anything wrong?" He's reading in his bed.
"No. Just wanted to talk." He looks up from his book, and closes it.
"Ok. Want do you want to talk about?"
"Do you ever...feel like you were cheated? Because your mom died when you were really young?"
He thinks for a minute. "Yeah. I do, sometimes. I used to be jealous of Dean. You know, because he knew her. Why? Do you?"
I pause before replying. "I just feel like I should've had a mother. I mean she's not dead, but she might as well be. She doesn't care about me anymore."
He nods. "Do you miss her?"
"I miss the way she used to be," I say. "So yeah. I do miss her. A lot actually." My stomach rumbles. "Well, I'm gonna go get some breakfast. Thanks, Uncle Sam. I'm glad you're here." I smile and walk towards the door. "I'll always be here, kid." He resumes reading. I walk downstairs.

I hear a knock on the door. I go open it.
"Hey, you learned to knock." I smile.
Jake comes in. "Yeah, It's actually pretty easy. Who knew?" I close the door.
"Leg ok?"
"Yeah, hurts like you wouldn't believe still, but it's better."
He nods. "That's good."
"Yup. Hey, you hungry? I was gonna make waffles."
He follows me as I walk to the kitchen.
"Yeah. Want some help?"
"You can keep me company." I say.
"So, there's this party thing later at school. Would you maybe, want to go, with me?" I don't look at him. Parties so aren't my thing. Crowds of people aren't my thing.
"Umm, actually I was gonna just lay around, watch tv, maybe read a little."
"Oh." He sounds disappointed.
"But, you should go. Have fun." I turn to look at him. He's staring very intently at my kitchen floor.
"Sure?" He asks, still staring.
"Yeah, totally." I nod.
Why don't you go? He wants you to! Lex, you like him, he likes you. I ignore the voice.
He nods back. "Okay, well, call me if you change your mind." He walks to the door. "I better go, Lex." He walks out before I can say goodbye.
"Ugh!!" I growl. Why did I do that?

I'm such a dork.

I'm happily eating my waffle when dad walks in. I thought he was sleeping.
"Hey. Its early. What have you been doing?" I ask.
"Oh hey, Lex. Just working on Baby." He comes over. Like I said, I haven't talked to him since that night. He sits down beside me on the couch.
"So." He says.
"So." I say.
He's turns to me. "Lex, I'm sorry. I just...couldn't do it."
I wrinkle my forehead. "No, it's okay. I'm actually glad she's ok."
He looks surprised. "Really?"
"Yeah, I mean, she's...a bloodsucking demon," I laugh sadly. "But, she is my mom. She hasn't been there for me, but I do miss her. I wish she were here."
He nods, understanding. In some ways, we were so much alike, but at the same time, completely different. I've always wanted my mom. But I've always had my dad.
"She's not been here, but you have." I say, "and I'm really glad you wanted me." I sniff.
He smiles. "I'll always want you, Alexis." I lean over to hug him. "I love you, daddy."
"I love you too, kid."

Chap 10
I haven't talked to Jake in 1 week. The longest I've gone since I got my tonsils taken out. At school he ignores me except for an occasional "Hello." If I get even that, I'm lucky. Is it because of the party? He knows I'm not good in crowds. I decide to ask him. I walk to his locker and wait, and wait. Oh! Here he comes. Breathe, Lex, breathe.
"Hey." I greet him. He pushes me away from his locker, acting as if I'm not there.
"Jake?" He turns.
"What do you want?"
Wow, okay, that was harsh.
"To talk to you. You've been ignoring me. I want to know why." I stand up straight.
"I've been busy." Is his reply.
I scoff. "Too busy to talk to your best friend?"
"Oh is that what we are? I'm sorry." He slams his locker door shut.
"What are you talking about?"
He spins around to face me.
"You know how long it took me to build the courage to ask you to that party? And you blew me off!"
"So this is about the party? You know I don't like being with a lot of people."
"Yeah whatever." He walks away, leaving me standing in the hallway.

Chap 11
So you'd think by know I would've talked to Sam, or my dad about Jake.
But they've been on a case for a few weeks. This time they've actually answered their phones. I would call, but I don't want to talk about this over a phone. This is why I need more friends. But, hey, what can I say? I'm a loner.

Especially since I'm alone at home, and my best friend won't call me back. I don't understand, am I missing something? I didn't want to go to a party, what's the big deal? Okay, so it wasn't just that. But I can't lose Jake. I've lost too many people. I'm scared. If we do become more than friends, and then we break up, it would be hard, maybe even impossible, to become best friends again. I can't lose my best friend.
Too late, the little voice in my head says, you've already lost him. No. I won't accept that.

I run to his house. Well run as well as I can with a hurt leg. I could've driven, but I'm in too much of a hurry, and I know a shortcut my car can't take. I take the steps of his apartment building two at a time. I don't bother knocking, since no one locks the doors. His mom must be gone. I don't see anyone. I go to his bedroom and knock.
"I'm not hungry, mom!"
"It's me. Can I come in?" Silence.
"Please?" I beg.
I don't hear anything so I walk in. Jakes sitting on his bed, his back facing me. I sit opposite him, so our backs are touching.
"I'm sorry." I say.
"For what?"
"For the party."
"You didn't want to go. I'm fine with that." I sigh.
"Look, I didn't want to go. But that's not the only reason."
"Than what was the reason, Lex? I like you. I thought you liked me. I mean, we kissed. Who kisses someone they don't like?" He sounds heartbroken. What have I done?
"I do like you," I turn but he stays. "I like you a lot. But I'm...afraid."
He finally turns to face me.
"Afraid of what?"
I bite my lip. "Of losing my best friend."
He laughs. "What are you talking about? You'll never lose me. Don't you remember the pact we made?" I smile, thinking of the promise we made when we were in 3rd grade.
"If we...start dating, then somehow break up, I'll lose the relationship we have. I can't lose you."

Chap 12
"I can't lose you." I say.
"Lexi, Im not going anywhere. I promise. No matter what, I promise." He says softly. "I'm serious. I'm not sure what we are. All I know is, you make me laugh until I could puke. And I like that. I like you." I smile. But still, the fear of losing someone I love is there.
Jake breaks the silence. "You make me want to be more than best friends." I think about it. If I say yes, he'll still be my best friend, right? He'd be my best friend/boyfriend. But if we break up, then I lose both of those. If I say no, then I keep my best friend, but I lose the chance to be with a guy who knows me. Who loves me. I sigh. I really do miss my mom, especially when I need to talk about things like this. Jakes still looking at me expectantly.

I really like him. Maybe you could even go as far as saying I love him. I mean I loved him before, but before it was as a friend, a best friend. I look at him and smile. He smiles back. Again I think about it. I really shouldn't think. The more my brain works, the more I convince myself to not do it.

I remember when my dad told me my mom wasn't dead. That she actually left me. I cried for days, holed up in my room. I didn't want to see, talk, or do anything with anyone. But Jake somehow got me to let him in. I think that was when we became really close. He comforted me, he understood my pain. His dad died when he was 4. The only difference was, his dad died, my mom left. I know she did it because she didn't want to hurt me. At least that's what I tell myself. But the point is, Jake has always been there. Even when I didn't think I wanted him. I take a deep breath.

"Ok."

Chap 13
It's been a couple months since I broke my leg. Well, actually my mom broke my leg. It's healed quite nicely. Sam and dad are back again from their case. It's nice. Kinda like being a normal family. Ya know, except that my moms a vampire, my dad and uncle hunt demons, vampires, anything like that. Other than that we're totally normal...not. I wake up late today, which is very unusual for me. I walk downstairs. Sam and dad are sitting at the counter. I see dad eating pie. I shake my head.

I walk over. "Seriously? Dad, that's not healthy." He looks at me. Wow, if looks could kill...
"I thought I raised you right, Alexis." He shakes his head sadly. I roll my eyes. "I think we're out of food. I'm gonna go get some breakfast. Anyone want anything?" I say, walking towards the front door.
"No I'm good." Says dad, mouth full of pie. Sam shakes his head.
"Okay, see yall later." I walk to my car, get in and pull out of the driveway.

I usually don't like to go out to eat. But since I'm lazy and don't want to go get groceries, I'm settling for IHOP. I stop at a red light, and decide to call Jake.
"Hey, I'm getting breakfast. I could bring you something if you want." I say when he picks up.
"No that's okay. I ate already. Wanna come over later?" He asks hopefully.
I smile. "Yeah, sure." We say goodbye and I hang up.
The light turns green. I press the gas pedal. I hear a crash...and my right arm hurts. Bad. I hit the steering wheel. My head is aching. I hear sirens and a short time later I see blue lights. I'm being lifted out of my mangled car into an ambulance. Then I black out.

I'm in a hospital. What happened? My arm is throbbing, and my head hurts. There's a boy sitting beside me. I shift. He wakes up, sees me awake, and smiles. I smile for some reason, which is a bad idea, because any movement hurts my entire head.
"Hey, you're awake. Are you in pain?" He asks. I can't remember what happened. I can't remember...I try sitting up. But that is also a bad idea. "Lex, are you okay? Im gonna go get Dean and Sam." I look up at him.

"Who are you?"

The end...for now
