Hunting was hard. When there were hostages that made it even more so. But when those hostages were close friends of yours, it was a horrible, gut wrenching feeling. Especially when one of those was a young girl who had already gone through so much. 

"Someone needs to check on Alex." You said, trying to take your mind off of Jody and Claire as you rushed to the Impala. 

"Y/N's right. We need to split up." Sam agreed, the three of you coming to a stop in the parking lot. 

"I'll go check on Alex, you two go to Jody's." Dean suggested, a different suggestion than you were expecting. You had automatically assumed you would be staying with Dean, not heading out with Sam.

"Okay." Sam answered, as Sam glanced at the car next to the Impala. Within moments he had it hot wired, and the two of you were heading towards Jody's place.

"Why do you think Dean had me go with you?" You asked, still curious. 

"I guess since we're heading to the bigger threat. Alex is just a warning, while we're heading to where Jody and Alex were last seen."

"I hope they're all right." You said softly, staring out the window.

"Jody and Claire are tough. Even if they've been taken, they will be smart." He assured you.

Nodding, you watched out the window, the sun setting off in the distance. As soon as Sam was pulling into the driveway, you were out of the car, your gun out in front of you. Heading towards the garage, you froze when you noticed Jody's phone laying on the ground, the screen crushed. "Damn it." You whispered as Sam came to stand next to you.

As Sam leaned down, frowning as he looked at a spot of blood, your phone rang. Seeing Dean's picture on the phone, you quickly answered it, his tone of voice not boding well. "Alex is gone too. Her phone tossed in the trash."

"Where the hell are they?" You asked, as Sam stood up, dusting his hands off. It was then things started clicking, and you knew. "Wait, I remember hearing about an abandoned building on the edge of the school. It matches with the material found on the body. I bet they are there!" You exclaimed, grabbing Sam by the coat and trying to pull the lumbering man out of the garage.

"That's why I love you. You put that brain of yours to good work. Meet you there?" He said proudly. "Oh and Y/N? Stay safe!"

"We've got to go!" You exclaimed, pushing Sam towards the stolen car. Once the two of you were in, he gunned it as fast as the poor car would go, heading back towards the school where you had just left. Hoping that they were still okay.

There wasn't a parking lot close to the old abandoned swimming pool so you had to park all the way in front. After dusting your prints from the stolen car, you started the long trek to the run down building. Confirming your thoughts, the wooden bars had been pulled away from the door. Stepping through the small entrance, you listened carefully for the sounds of a struggle. 

As you waited for Sam to fold his long body through the small hole in the door, you could hear the sounds of Claire, and her sarcastic comments. Thankful that she was still alive, you turned to Sam. "So, we're here. They're still alive. But what about weapons? I have my gun, but it won't work against vampires."

"Our first priority is getting them safe and out of there. Hopefully by then Dean will be here, and he should have his machete with him." Sam explained. 

Quietly walking up the hall, you could hear Alex pleading with whoever was holding them to leave Jody and Claire alone. Without another thought, you stepped through the heavy plastic sheeting, shooting the man holding Claire. Sure, it would do nothing but piss him off, but maybe it would give you enough of a surprise entrance to do something. 

It must have worked, because Claire was able to stumble away, landing on the ground with a sob. Both Jody and Alex were chained to the railing, bloody but okay. Racing forward, you tackled the Vampire to the ground as Sam came in, heading straight to Jody and Alex. 

"She deserves it, and more." The Vampire growled, slamming your head against the floor. Holding in a groan, you wrapped your hands around his neck, trying to pry him away from you. Baring his teeth, he leaned down, sinking them into your neck. Screaming loudly, you kicked hard, kicking him off. Not sure if that was a good idea as his teeth ripped out of your neck. Pressing your hand to the wound, you looked up to see frantically racing into the room, his eyes zeroing in on you. Pulling your hand back, it was covered with blood, but you knew it wasn't fatal.

With a machete in his hand, he raced towards the vampire as another one decided to join in on the fun. Rushing forward, it knocked both it and Dean into the empty pool, Dean's machete flying out of his hand.

Struggling to stand up, the Vampire crept closer to you. Reaching out frantically for anything to use as a weapon, your eyes widened as you watched the Vampires head fly cleanly off. A hard breathing Claire standing behind him, her face splattered with blood. 

"Dean!" She exclaimed, tossing down the machete, and with a clean sweep, Dean ended the life of the other vampire.

"Well, that was fun." You said sarcastically. Sam was helping Jody to her feet, a grimace on her face as she stayed off of one leg. 

"I'm so sorry." Alex kept whispering over and over. "This is all my fault."

Reaching over, you patted her on the shoulder. "It isn't. Not at all. Those stupid Vampires are to blame."

You could see she wasn't completely believing you, but maybe Jody would be able to talk some sense into the girl.

With all of you crowding into the Impala, you made your way back to Jody's. As soon as you pulled up, the girls raced inside, while Jody limped along. "Why do they always go after my leg?" She muttered. 

Once inside, she began pulling tupperware containers from the fridge. "These were for dinner last night, but that never happened. I'm gonna send them home with you. I know those boys of yours will chow down on them."

You could just imagine the look on Dena's face as he munched happily on the ribs. Taking them from her, you sat them down on the table before pulling her into a hug. "I'm so glad I finally met you. Thank you for being there for them when I'm not."

"They're good guys. Better than they both know." Jody said as she watched the two men talking to Alex. "And you've made Dean better. He loves you, and he's going to do whatever he can to make sure that love stays safe."
