Jovi was tied to a chair inside the warehouse Metatron had taken her too. She watched with a busted lip and bruised cheek as her dad spoke with the psycho, it didn't take long for a fight to break out. She was forced to watch as the two men fought to kill, Metatron got the upper hand on her dad beating him until blood was covering Dean's face. She cried trying to break the ropes around her wrists begging her dad to get up, she watched as his hand twitched the Cain blade flying into his hand and then she let out a heart wrenching scream as a angel blade went through Dean's chest a gasp leaving his lips. His green eyes fell on his sobbing daughter who was trying everything to get out of her restraints, a apologetic look fell onto his face before he gasped again Metatron twisting the blade in his chest before pulling it out

Sam's voice echoed round the warehouse as he sprinted towards deans body that fell to the floor, Jovi yanked her hands trying desperately to escape the rope tearing into her skin drawing blood as she was forced to watch her father die. Metatron watched with a satisfied smirk before Sam got back up drawing an angel blade ready to attack Metatron but he disappeared along with the ropes around Jovi. The second she was free Jovi sprinted to her dads side ignoring the pain flowing through her body as she fell to her knees beside a barely breathing Dean one hand resting on his shoulder the other taking his hand as Sam attempted to patch the wound up

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Jovi muttered sobbing, he came here to save her and instead ended up with an angel blade to the chest. Dean tiredly looked up at her with a small smile weakly squeezing her hand "it's not your fault" Jovi shook her head too chocked up to even talk "Sammy, you gotta get her out of here before he comes back" Dean told his brother who ignored his order continuing to try and patch up the stab wound "shut up. Shut up! Just save your energy, all right? We'll stop the bleeding, we'll get you to a doctor or — or I'll find a spell. You're gonna be okay"

"Listen to me, it's better this way" Dean spoke which caused both Sam and Jovi to stop, the girls heart breaking more and more "what?" She spoke voice breaking with pure hurt and confusion, Dean looked between them both "the mark. Its making me into something I don't want to be"

"We'll figure out the mark later. Just hold on, okay?" Sam told him before throwing one of deans arms around his shoulders, Jovi doing the same with the other wincing at the cry of pain her dad let out. They didn't get far before she felt more of her dads weight being thrown onto her which was making her heart shatter more and more especially when he stopped needing to sit down both her and Sam helping him to sit on one of the barrels inside the warehouse. Dean looked up at them the colour draining from his face as one of his hands took Jovi's holding it tight "I got to say something to you both"

"What?"

"I'm proud of us, of you" his eyes shifted to Jovi squeezing her hand as his other cupped Sam's face, Dean smiled at them before he suddenly fell forward Sam catching him "no, no, hey, hey, hey"

Jovi jumped forward her hands on his shoulders shaking him with tears streaming down her face "dad? Daddy, please. Wake up! Please you gotta get up!" Jovi cried her head resting in the crook of Dean neck as she continued to sob

"Jovi! Jovi!" The blonde bolted up from her bed, her face wet with tears and her heart thumping a million miles a hour. Her eyes fell onto her dad whose hand rested on her shoulder, she quickly brought him into a hug the man sitting down on her bed letting her cry into his chest. She'd been having nightmares of Dean's death for months usually it was Sam that had to wake her and comfort her until she calmed down but this was the first time she'd had one since her dad had been back. See they'd taken some 'we time' as Dean called it going away for a couple weeks staying in a motel down by a lake, they had two rooms with a connecting door. She had her own room which meant she'd probably been screaming in her sleep

"You're okay, you're okay" Dean whispered rubbing comforting circles on her back "don't leave me" she whispered her voice breaking "hey, I'm not going anywhere. I promise" he told her his own heart clenching for her, they stayed like that for a while until Dean put her back down to sleep staying with her for the rest of the night. Jovi refused to let go of him fearing that if she did he'd leave her again.

☆

The next day Sam and Dean sat on lawn chairs looking out at the lake in front of them both wearing sunglasses and drinking beer. From a distance they could see Jovi with her own set of sunglasses resting on top of her head as she spoke to a two kids her own age - siblings who were there on a family vacation. Their Labrador puppy had ran up to her where she showered him affection instantly falling in love with it which lead her to talking to the two, a boy named Austin and his year younger sister Lizzy.

Deans eyes were locked on his daughter that laughed something the boy had said his sister rolling her eyes, Sam followed his gaze catching what he was watching. The younger Winchester chuckling "I'm surprised your not dragging her away from the boy" Dean sighed deeply "no, she needs some normal teenage interactions and she'll kill me if I drag her away from a puppy"

Sam laughed again before his smile fell clearing his throat "how was she this morning?" He'd also woken up the previous night to Jovi's cry's next door but after seeing her okay and in deans arms her left them too it. Dean glanced down at his beer momentarily "she was quiet, didn't want to talk about it" Sam hummed while Dean looked back up at his brother "how long have they been going on?"

Sam looked back at his niece seeing her now kneeling down playing with the dog "since you died" Dean felt his heart drop, she'd been suffering because of him "it's less frequent now though" Dean nodded before sipping his beer, Sam looked over at him "she'll be okay, Dean"

"I hope so" after another quick glance at his daughter Dean smirked to himself "hey, there's something I needed to ask you"

"Shoot"

"You've been kicked, bit, scratched, stabbed, posssssed, killed and you sprain your friggin elbow?" Dean asked mockingly with a smile while Sam turned to him with an offended look "dude, it was more than a sprain, all right? And it was a friggin' demon, but-"

"But what?" Dean asked chuckling "that sling come with a slice of crybaby pie on the side?" The two laughed for a minute before Sam turned to Dean "how you doing?"

Dean smiled "golden, man"

Sam tilted his head ever so slightly "come on"

Dean looked at him through his tinted sunglasses "seriously, I'm good. I am. You know, we got three more cases of this stuff on ice in the trunk. Taking some 'we time', best decision we ever made" Sam leaned over "here that" they clinked their beer bottles together taking large gulps before Dean paused "see that thing in the paper this morning?" Sam shifted in his seat exhaling deeply "maybe it was an animal kill?"

"It was three kills and it was in the same town, all within the last month"

"Yeah, you're right. We should call somebody and have them take a look at it" Sam suggested while Dean nodded dramatically "good. smart. Done...or...we could be in and out. It's a milk run, right?"

"Because that happens never"

Dean took his glasses off holding the bridge of his nose "look, Sam. What we've been doing here, it's good, okay? You and me hanging out and Jovi making friends, being a normal kid for a while...but I need to work, I need this" Sam stated at him for a second weighing his options before coming to a conclusion "if things go sideways, I mean, like, an inch. You gotta give me the heads up"

"Done. You got my word" Dean said excitedly as he stood up heading to the impala looking over at Jovi who was standing a little too close to Austin for his liking "Jov! Come on! We're hitting the road!" Dean called out gaining the blonde girl's attention, she sighed saying a quick goodbye to her new found friends and the puppy she was reluctant to leave. She strolled towards her dad with a growing grin "dad, did you see how cute the puppy was?" She asked with excitement and pure joy in her green eyes, he looked at her with a small smile "yeah, I did" she leaned on the roof of the impala resting her chin on her hands as she smiled "soooo can we get one?"

Sam laughed strolling up to them with a smirk "yeah, Dean. Can she get one?" Jovi gave her brightest smile to her dad who quite easily could've given in to her manipulation techniques "no" he responded lifting the trunk of the car, Jovi groaned "Uncle Sam back me up here, don't you think it'd do me some good to have a companion who will not only be a companion but also a reason for me to get out of the bunker? I'd take it for walks and feed it and make sure it doesn't eat Baby's seats, oh! And just think, Crowley would probably stay away because he's always wearing a black suit and we all know black is lethal to animal hair"

Sam looked at Dean with a shrug "she makes a point"

Dean turned to his brother with narrowed eyes "don't support this idea, traitor." He then looked at his daughter "do you really think it'd be fair on the dog if we're always traveling and your not going to wake up at 5 every morning to walk it, so no" he put on a fake smile walking back over to the deck chairs they had out, Jovi groaned "worth a shot".

☆

Jovi waited in the car while her dad and uncle went into the local police station dressed as animal control to get new information on the animal attacks that were happening in this town. She wasn't best pleased to be back on the road hunting again. She was actually enjoying the normal apple pie life but obviously she knew it wouldn't last not with her dad unable to sit still for 5 minutes. She was currently leaned over the front bench seats playing with the cassette tapes smirking as she found her Taylor Swift Red tape, grinning the teen put it into the car's stereo. It was then that she noticed Sam and Dean exit the station

She sat back in her seat watching as the two got into the car "so where are we off to now?" Jovi asked watching her dad reach for the keys "the bar" Jovi groaned "day drinking again? You know you two are like past borderline alcoholics?"

"To follow a lead, Jovi. And we're not alcoholics" her dad said while the teen laughed quietly, the impala roared to life as Dean turned the key and through the stereo blasted All Too Well Jovi grinned widely while her dad slowly turned to look at her questionably "again?"

Jovi leaned over the seat turning the volume up "you love it".

☆

Jovi hated the bar, it wasn't like this wasn't a regular for her but she just felt uncomfortable. Maybe it was her being a teenager now she's just more aware of her surroundings and the looks she received from pigs...sorry...men. Jovi sat between her dad and uncle opposite the man they were interrogating about the case "yeah, Barker and I have been raising hell chasing tail and riding for a long time. Part of him always knew when his clock ran out it wasn't gonna be pretty, to go out like that? By some animal? Just ain't right"

"You mind, uh, you mind telling us what went down?" Dean asked the man whose name Jovi was sure was Tanner? Topper? Tommy! Tommy, that was his name at least that's was she was sure her dad said but part of her wasn't listening "it was just another party, you know? Barker went out back, the next thing you know everyone's yelling and screaming and he's all torn up" the man across from the Winchesters told them, Jovi grimaced putting her Pepsi back on the table

"The sheriff mentioned you thought there might've been a girl involved, you think she was killed too?" Sam questioned Tommy shook his head picking up his beer "nope"

Dean stared at the suspicious looking man "so there was no girl?"

"Couldn't say"

Sam leaned forward "you know we're not cops, right?"

"Badge is a badge" Tommy answered with a cautious expression, Jovi rolled her eyes. Well he didn't seem suspicious at all...

"Well, you should also know that working outdoors the way we do, we see some - some pretty weird crap. Stuff that we can't explain. I mean, hell, half the stuff we wouldn't have believed it ourselves had we not seen it together" Dean said trying to ease the man into talking, Jovi picked up her drink sporting a amused smirk "you should hear the bedtime story's" she took a sip from her drink as Sam and Dean nodded along with her words "well, you don't have to live in this town, Mister. You don't have to deal with the ridicule" Tommy argued

"I'm just saying that crazy might not be half as crazy as you think"

"So if someone were to tell you they saw a ghost...you'd...believe that?" Sam and Dean shared a look over Jovi's head, Dean could already see the comment brewing inside his daughter so he nudged her foot under the table as a warning. The girl turned slowly glaring at him with daggers which almost made him smirk "just assume we believe everything"

Tommy then leaned forward "okay then. The other night, I was taking a ride past the old Sturges farm. You know, thinking about the rides me and Barker used to go on, I saw her, man."

"Saw her? Who?" Sam questioned which was a question Jovi was also wondering, the girls attention had now been drawn to the conversation at the piece of actual interesting information

"The girl" Tommy responded

"What after the attack?"

"Hell, yeah. She was just standing there, all bloody watching me so — so I turn the hell around I-I ran back thinking, damn, you know, she — she's hurt or something. But...she was just gone, like gone"

"Like a ghost?" Jovi asked the man's frantic eyes met hers "no, I don't give one red cent in hell what the cops say. She was there, she was eaten. She's a freakin' ghost" the Winchesters shared a look.

Their trip to the barn had lead them to finding a werewolf they actually knew - or knew from the video diary that was left behind - Kate. The blonde girl that was turned by her friend or lover or whatever he was, Jovi can't remember but the college kids had video footage of her, her dad and uncle when they were fishing around the college for answers but the were too late when they finally got to their house finding the bodies, video and no Kate. Now, she was hanging by her wrists inside the barn after Dean had tied her up. Jovi stood beside her uncle her silver dagger clutched in her hand

"I know who you are" Kate spoke eyeing the three, Dean turned to face her "congratulations"

"After what happened at school, I thought you'd let me go" Kate spoke while Jovi scoffed "that was before you went full teen wolf" Kate shook her head looking at the teen in confusion "what?"

"Guy at the bar saw you before you went all Wolverine on his buddy so...surprise, here we are" Dean told her with a fake smile "Kate, you said you were gonna go straight, what happened?" Sam asked this time, Kate shrugged as best as she could looking up at him "i guess things change. Being this, I tried to be strong. But the hunger was too much, it's not like anyone gave me a handbook on how to be a werewolf"

Dean nodded his head "looks like you're doing a pretty good job so far. Break some hearts then you eat 'em"

"I was on my own. I...evolved"

"So that's what you call killing innocent people?" Sam questioned with narrowed eyes, Jovi could see the defeat in the blondes eyes "whatever you're gonna do, just do it"

Jovi looked at her dad who pulled his gun from his jeans, she looked back at Kate. If Jovi had learnt anything on these hunts it was how to tell if someone was lying and Kate was giving in way too easily for someone who was supposed to be a reckless monster, Dean raised his gun pointing it at Kate and after a few tense seconds Jovi's hand shot up pushing his arms down "wait"

Dean looked down at her in confusion as Sam nodded his head for them to follow him, the three took a few steps away from Kate "you know what? Let me do it" Sam spoke which made Jovi and Dean raise a brow, Jovi thought he was thinking the same as her but clearly not "why?" Dean asked his brother who looked hesitant to answer "because...I think you should sit this one out"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're not ready, Dean" Sam said just as his phone rang, Jovi tapped her dads arm as Sam answered the phone "I think she's lying" Dean leaned down with furrowed brows "how'd you know?" Jovi sighed "call it a spidey sense, I just don't think she's telling the whole truth"

"We got a problem" Sam spoke after he hung up the phone bringing the father daughter duos attention back to him "what? Besides, uh, werewolf Barbie over here?" Dean spoke irritably "yeah, there was another kill, across town, just before dark" Sam told them, that confirmed Jovi's thoughts. Kate definitely knew something and it wasn't her doing the killing "well, how did Kate get her murder on and then back here-"

"You both don't think she did it" Dean concluded

"Look...I don't know man but as far as I'm concerned-" the rope holding Kate snapped and before they could do anything Kate ran straight out of the door leaving the three stunned Winchesters "Damn it!" Dean yelled in frustration "girl can run" Jovi commented staring blankly at where Kate just was "all right, if she's not icing people then why play the big bad wolf?" Dean questioned as they started heading out of the barn "maybe she's running with a pack? You know, trying to protect them?" Sam suggested stopping in front of the impala, Dean scoffed "well, a hell of a price to pay. She was about two second away from taking a dirt nap" he pulled something from his pocket making the two furrow their brows leaning forward for a closer look "what is that?" Jovi asked not quite getting a good view especially in the dark "it's her phone. Let's see who she was booty calling when we pulled up" Dean pressed a button holding the phone up for the two to hear and after a few rings a woman answered "thank you for calling the Lincoln Motel, can I help you?" Dean hung up before sending them a look the three getting into Baby.

Jovi had fallen asleep not long after they'd gotten back on the road, the young blonde woke the next morning to her uncle leaving the car with a slam of the impala door. She jolted awake her heart thumping loudly in her ears, she met her dads amused eyes in the rear view mirror hearing him chuckle "morning sunshine" Jovi groaned falling back onto the leather seats of Baby "morning" the teen spoke her voice raspy and tired "how'd you sleep?" Dean asked her, he'd been worried about her since he found out
