(One week and a half after the release of Sarah's split personality)

        Things have quieted down since Johnny and I dealt with Sarah’s alternate personality… still don’t get how she turned out to be Sarah’s sister.

        But you know what? That’s not important. None of it is.

        I finally got to be reunited with the one woman who… who really saw me for who I was. She didn’t want to change me, she didn’t hate me, and… she loved me. I guess I could be considered one of the luckiest guys around, having a girlfriend who is just as strange as you.

        Now I just gotta figure out where she is today…. it’s pretty early in the morning, the sun isn’t even out yet. Not for a couple of minutes at least.

        Oh duh… I shook my head and opened the window to my bedroom. I peek my head out and see the australian vampiress waiting for the sun to rise. “There you are.” I smiled as I climbed out.

        She smiled at me. “I thought you would have joined me earlier.... I’ve been here for a while.”

        “That cookie jar in my kitchen had my name on it, couldn’t help it.” I laughed, sitting down on the roof next to her. I wrapped an arm around her, and looked on into the sky, “You know how I am with Cookies. Especially chocolate chip.”

        “And you know about me and oatmeal raisin....” She trailed off with a little drool. “Mmm...”

        I laughed, and leaned against her, “Well, I have a box of them in the pantry, so once we finish watching the sunset, we can go in and get you the box.”

        Leaning against me she sighed. “It’s been too long since we’ve done this...”

        “No kidding…” I chuckled weakly, “I… I really missed you Beth. More than anything…” I sighed, feeling ashamed for bringing this up again.

        “I can tell.” She said jubilantly. “You’re hugging me so tight I might get crushed.” She hugged me back. “Though I don’t mind really.... I understand trust me.”

        “...Heh, remember when you told one of the hunters your actual age and they called you a cougar?”

        “He found ten deer carcass’ in his room that night.”

        I laughed, shaking my head, “I never really took you for a fan of the Godfather. Though it was with a horse, but you know what I mean. Last time you and I watched that movie you fell asleep!”

        “That’s cause I couldn’t help but feel all warm and sleepy with you hugging me!” She poked me a little. “But now you’re cold...”

        I sighed, and shrugged, “I… I don’t know how to control that part of me just yet. I want to at least get my control up to par so I don’t make people shiver when I shake their hand or something.”

        She shook her head. “Well... I didn’t tell you of the metal yet did I?”

        “Metal?” I looked at her with a bit of confusion, wondering what exactly she means.

        She pulled back a sleeve, and a few paper clips and a pen were stuck to her arm. “I’m magnetic....” She pouted. “They won’t come off....”

        “Hm, I think I can understand why!” I said hammily, “You have such a “magnetic” personality, they can’t help it!” I like making little jokes like that… it’s always fun. A nice pun now and then isn’t bad, but constantly…. Well, I won’t go into that.

        Beth tapped my head. “I thought you hated puns. Mr. Snowman.”

        I grinned as I laughed, “Well, once you’ve met Pinkie, you build up a tolerance. A very, very small one, but a tolerance none the less. Especially the… gah, names.” I grunted, “Fucking “Ponyville”...”

        “I think it’s cute.” Beth leaned back. “It has a strange ring to it yeah, but I can get over it.”

        I rolled my eyes, “Right…” I paused, and looked at her, “I was asked to be the best man to a wedding recently.”

        “Oh!” Beth looked up at me. “I was invited not too long ago.. So was Michael I think...” She looked off. “Something about Celestia wanting him if I remember.”

        I paused, and looked at her with amusement, “That statement can be taken is so many ways.”

        “Shut up.” She lightly punched my arm. “You know what I meant.”

        I laughed, but hugged her once more, “Oh come on, that was funny!”

        “And crude, however yes I did giggle a little.” she smiled.

        I was silent before saying this, “Beth… I have a bad feeling about the wedding. Like something bad is gonna happen.”

        “Maybe the groom will be unhappy?” She shrugged. “Could be anything....” She trailed off. “Hey Dean~? I was wondering...”

        “Yeah?” I looked at her with curiosity.

        “Could I have a little drink?”

        “So greedy!” I laugh, and unbutton my shirt a bit so she can get a clear shot for my neck, “Go ahead, I know how much you like it.”

        “Yay!” She moved closer before gently biting down, looking up at me.

        Goddamn she’s hot when she does that! I shuddered a bit, feeling the blood being sucked from that area.

        Vampires like Beth have a little ability that most hunters took to calling “Kiss of the Vampire”. Vampires have this sort of… well, I wouldn’t exactly call it venom, more of a shot of ecstasy, really. Not the drug, the feeling. Seriously, get bit by a vampire, and you’ll be feeling too good to even care that you’re dying, you just might cream yourself a few times.

        The thing with me, and most hunters, is that we’ve developed a sort of resistance to it, thanks to a sort of vaccine that our sages made to dull the effects.

        Doesn’t mean you don’t feel it, you can just have enough of your mind to push them away. With Beth, there’s no real reason to stop her.

        She also has a tendency to use that to win little debates. Fuckin’ cheater. And I mean that in a very, very good way. “Shit Beth… you seem to enjoy seeing this look on my face.”

        She pulled away for a second. “I can’t help it... You look so damn amazing....” She bit down again, sucking my blood slower.

        “B-beth, any further and I don’t think I can stop myself…” I shuddered, feeling my hand trail down her back.

        While she fed a little she smiled, and sucked harder before pulling away. “Well do you want me to stop?~”

        “Fuck it.” I growled with a bit of pent up arousal, before pushing her down and looming over her, “I think it’s only fair that I get a turn, you know?”

        She squeaked. “I love it when you take charge.”

        I kissed her, and smiled as I pulled away, “I know you do…” I kissed her neck, “Though you seem to enjoy me being submissive just as much.”

        Beth whimpered. “It’s rude to keep a lady waiting~.”

        I grinned, and was about to kiss her before an evil idea came to mind. Right when I was about to kiss her, I stopped. “Don’t want to miss the sunrise, you know!” I said with a teasing grin.

        “You... Teasing bastard!” She groaned. “Fine! We’ll watch the sunrise!” Rolling over she gave me a scowl. “Stupid cockblocking bastard...”

        I then felt my hand slip into her pants, grabbing her ass, as I growled in her ear, “Later though… well, you know.”

        She smacked my hand. “At least let’s get through this first.”

        Yeah she’s mad. I chuckled, and hugged her, “Come on, I’m just teasing…”

        “I know that.” She pouted. “You do it too well.”

        I smiled, and kissed her cheek, “Oh come on, like you haven’t gotten me back.”

        She glowed a light purple. “True... In the best ways.”

        I was about to retort, but the sun began giving off it’s morning glow as it slowly rose. I smiled, and looked Beth, “Indeed…” I only now realized this, but now Beth can walk around in the morning sun without me having to worry about her dying. “You look absolutely Beautiful, Beth…” I sighed happily, enjoying her company.

        She smiled and hugged me. “Thank you... You’re handsome yourself.”

        I held her in my arms, watching the sun rise, “So you usually tell me.” I smiled and kissed her, “Not that I don’t appreciate it.”

        “I thought you’d say that.” She laid her head on my shoulder. “... I missed this... I missed you.”

        “Same here, Beth…” I nuzzled against her cheek, “But hey, now we’re here, together.” I looked at her, “And nothing can change that.”

        She smiled. “Let’s hope....” She suddenly grinned. “Oh hey look sunrise is over!” She bit on my neck, and began to suck.

        I shuddered, and laughed as she sucked out my blood, “Well…”

        She pulled away and licked my neck. “Less talking and more screwing!” She sucked harder and traced a hand down my chest.

        I gasped a bit, and then tore her shirt off, “Since the lady asked so nicely…” I growled in her ear.

        Well, lets just say that we had fun.


        “God I missed you so much...”

        “Well, considering that our fun took us from the roof to the bedroom, and then to the kitchen,” I said as I held onto her, a blanket covering the both of us as we laid on the couch together, “I’d say I can tell. I did too…”

        She weakly hugged me. “Well you did pick me up and move around.... I guess it’s been a while since you’ve had fun....”

        “I’m certainly glad that Kate had to go out last night to get talk to Paige. It would be rather awkward for them to see this.” I chuckled, hugging her closer to me.

        Paige is Kate’s sister, also someone I consider my niece. She had disappeared when she was nine.

        Now, three years later, she had finally reappeared, this time as a wraith. I feel horrible, but at the same time, I’m glad to see her again.

        “I remember you talking about her...” Beth mumbled. “You befriended her if I remember correctly...”

        “Yeah,” I chuckled, “It got to the point where they called me Uncle Dean.” I brought Beth a little closer, “They’re nice kids…”

        She snorted. “I don’t see you as an uncle... Like, at all.”

        “Gee, thanks.” I rolled my eyes.

        “I’m not saying it’s impossible!” She hugged me. “I’m just saying I don’t see it.”

        “Heh…” I kissed her forehead, “I know, Beth.” I smiled, “Besides, it just sort of happened.” I was silent for a moment, then looked at her, “We still need to get those Oatmeal Raisin cookies from the pantry.”

        Beth perked up, a blanket wrapped around her. “Cookies? Oh yeah the cookies!”

        I then got up, still naked… Welp, time to move quickly!

        I quickly ran to the pantry and searched through it. I spotted the box of cookies that Pinkie had given me, but I had to pause when I saw a helmet with two eye sockets on the box. With the saying “Two Scoops!” on it. I shrugged and grabbed it, running back under the covers to Beth. “Here we go, box ‘o cookies for the lady.” I smiled at her.

        She grabbed it and slowly opened it up, taking a cookie and stuffing it in her mouth. “Yay!” Humming with a grin her blanket fell away. “Oatmeal....”

        I chuckled, and wrapped the blanket around her as I hugged her from behind, “Glad you like them Beth…”

        She raised an eyebrow and looked back at me. “They’re really good.”

        “You think we should get ourselves dressed?” I asked her, “Or do you want to stay like this for a while?”

        She looked down at herself. “Well... I don’t mind ogling you a little longer.”

        I laughed, and hugged her again, “My girlfriend’s a perv, oh whatever shall I do? She just might take advantage of me.”

        Beth leaped up and grinned over me. “Well... Since you sort of asked.~” She bit on my neck. Stroking my chest softly. “God... I can’t get enough of you...”

        I felt that electricity shoot up my spine, and I grinned as I kissed her hard. “I can tell…”

        She grabbed the back of my head. “Heh.... You seem excited.”

        “Can you blame me?” I ask her with a growl.

        “No.” She kissed me. “I can’t.” Rolling me over she looked down at me. “Let’s have some fun~.”

        Once again, we had a lot of fun.


        “Ohlordsogood~.” Beth drooled in pleasure as she laid on the couch with a grin.

        I sighed in happiness as I held her close, “Indeed it is…”

        She cuddled with me before looking over to the coffee table. “Hey Dean... Why is there a letter on the table with my name on it?”

        I sighed and reached over to it, grabbing the letter in my hand. I opened it, and handed it to her, “It’s a letter from Sarah. I have an idea on what it is, but I haven’t read it yet.”

        She grabbed it. “Huh... It’s been a while since I heard anything from her.” She opened it slowly, and read it. After a little bit she sighed. “Well... That’s depressing.”

        “What is it?” I asked her, rubbing her shoulder.

        “She apologized for snapping at me, and told me about her sister.”

        I grimaced and sighed, “Yeah… not the best of times.”

        “What happened?” She leaned on me.

I paused. “Yeah… hatred.”

“Dean...” She looked at me. “Don’t think about it. He can’t do anything if you ignore him as best you can.”

“He’s coming back Beth.” I shook my head, feeling a weight on my shoulders, “The seal is getting weaker. I don’t know when, I don’t know how… but he might take over one day…”

“Well Johnny’s here... He might be able to reseal it.” Beth rubbed my side. “If it comes down to it I can hold you back...”

“...Promise me something.”

“Yes?”

“If it looks like I can’t come back, and he has a firm hold… Just… run. The amount of destruction he can cause, in a Wraith body no less… I don’t want to think about it.”

She frowned, but nodded a little. “A-alright Dean.... I will.”

“Thank you…” I sighed, and held onto her. “Enough about this. Lets just enjoy each others company now.”

“Alright... Hunter Boy.”

“Hehehe… Nature Girl.”
