We were driving in the Impala on our way to a vampire case, when Dean pulled up at a gas station.

"I gotta take a leak." He exited the car. "You two can go and get some snacks." He started walking to the bathroom, when he yelled back; "See if they got any pie." We just gave him a thumbs up.

I was looking amongst the snacks, when I came to think of a question that had been buried in my mind for some time. "Hey Sam?"

"Yeah?" He looked at me with question.

"Can I ask you something?" I hesitantly asked.

"Of course, what's up?" Sam said and looked at me.

"This is going to sound really weird but why don't you have a lot of time?" Sam's face turned into seriousness. "It's not to make you uncomfortable. You just mentioned it at Bobby's place, and I just wanted to know what you meant by that." I took a can of Pringles and some gummibears for Dean, and went with Sam to get some drinks.

"It's okay." He sighed. "I guess, we should have told you." He took a break before continuing. "Back in May a lot of bad stuff happened. The short version I was killed." I looked at him with empathy. "Dean couldn't live with me dead, so he made a deal with a demon. My life for his soul."

"I am sorry. I shouldn't have asked." I looked to the ground. Guilt overcoming me.

"No it's fine. He got one year from the day, before..." I could see that Sam couldn't bring himself to say it.

"It's okay." I hugged him. "It's hard, but if anyone could get through it, you can."

"Thanks for that." Sam said as we broke up the hug.

"Hey I owed you." I gave him a small punch on the arm. "You comforted me. Now it's my turn."

Sam payed for our stuff and we went out to the car to find that Dean was already there.

"You got the pie?" He asked with anticipation. I handed him a box. "Yes. Thank you."

"And we got you some gummibears too." I said and held up the bag. "Sam said, you liked them."

"Oh you are treating me right now." He said and ruffed my hair. "Thanks, Cub."

We got into the car and I layed down on the seat. Right before I dosed off I heard Sam say; "I told her Dean. She asked about your deal, and I felt like, she deserved to know as well. Sorry, I didn't ask you about it first."

I could hear Dean take a deep breath. "It's fine, Sam. I Just didn't want to pour it all on a little kid, but you are right. She deserves to know."

Sleep overcame me at that point.

"Rise and shine!" Dean yelled into my ear.

"Seriously Dean?" I mumbled as I covered my ears. I could feel, how tired I still was. Damn new moon.

"Are you okay? You look a little pale." Sam asked as he put his hand on my forehead. I looked up confused. "You feel a little warm too."

"It's just the new moon." I sighed, as I scratched my eyes.

"New moon?" Dean asked.

"Yeah. The day without a moon. My mom always told how it was the other animals in the forest, who took the moon to annoy the Wolfbloods." I looked up at him. "Basically my connection to the moon is at its weakest, which means I am more tired and weaker than normal."

"Well, come here then." Dean said and carried me bridal style inside. Sam chuckled. "Don't say a word." He layed me down on an old couch. We were at a motel this time, but that didn't mean that the couch wasn't old or dusty.

"Thanks." I mumbled under my tired breath.

"You're welcome, Cub." Dean smiled in return and sat with Sam at the old wooden table in the middle of the room.

"So get this, there has been many murders and disappearances in the town." Sam started. "Victims drained of blood. Looks like a vamp."

"Yeah, and probably freshly turned." Dean added. "Usually vamps are better at covering their tracks, but these are rookie mistakes."

I groaned in the background. My body always felt like I had a fever or something but no. Just the new moon.

Dean sighed and walked over to me. "Okay so if you go to the morgue and the station to get some info then I will stay here with Cub."

"Okay, I will bring some lunch back." Sam said and went into the bathroom to change.

"You don't have to stay here." I groaned. "I can take care of myself."

"Yeah well, you look like crap," Dean chuckled. "and I promised Bobby I would keep you safe, so that's what I am gonna do." He sat down beside me and stroke my hair.

"Thank you Dean for everything." I smiled and yawned.

"You're welcome, Cub." He smiled as Sam exited the bathroom.

"Take care." He yelled and took the keys to the Impala.

"You too." Dean yelled back as the door closed.

"You're really letting Sam drive the Impala?" I chuckled.

"It wouldn't be the first time." Dean said with a seriousness. "And if he trashes it, he knows he is gonna pay."

I chuckled slightly at that before I saw, how dead serious he was.

"I heard Sam told you about the deal." He broke the silence that had fallen upon us.

"Yeah," I said with an awkwardness to it. "I hope it was okay."

"You were gonna find out one way or another." He tried to joke, but I could see how scared he was.

I hugged him. He was unsure at first but then hugged me back.

"Sam is gonna find a way." I reassured. "And if not Sam, then Bobby will. I will even try as well, even though I have quite limited knowledge."

"I know." He said and let go. "And what did I say about chick flick moments?" He laughed.

"Not to have them." I laughed too.

"I will let you sleep, if you want." He said.

"Thank you." I closed my eyes.

"Sleep tight, Cub." He said and gave me a small kiss on the forehead, as he thought I was asleep.

I can tell you one thing is for sure. I fell asleep with a smile on face and warm feeling in my body.
