( A SISTER'S TALE )

FLASHBACK

        The scene takes us back to when Sam was searching for Dean after he became a Demon and disappeared. Sam is sitting at a bar with a pathetic looking man, listening to him complain about his wife.

       "My wife kicked me to the curb. We haven't had sex for four months, but not that she hasn't been having plenty."

       "It is possible that you can have your revenge." Sam says.

       Scene flashes to a crossroad where a Demon has been summoned. Lester is in the centre of the road and Sam is hiding just out of sight behind a tree.

       "Who summons me, and for what purpose?"

       Sam hurries out from behind the tree. "Lester! Don't!" He yells.

       "Kill my wife, and my soul is yours." Lester says.

       Scene then flashes to where Lester is sitting in a car with Demon!Dean. "Who are you?" He asks.

       Dean's eyes flash black and he punches Lester once in the face coldly and viciously.

       Lester's blood is dripping from his mouth. "Uhh! Ow! You're a punk-ass demon! And you work for me now." He says.

       Dean looks at Lester impassively and stabs him in the chest with the First Blade.

END FLASHBACK

        "You're serious?" Sam asks. "This is about Lester?"

       "Um, don't get me wrong. I'm not—I'm not—I'm not trying to start anything either, okay?" Dean asks. "I'm just saying, maybe...maybe we oughta talk about that."

       "Okay, except there's nothing to talk about." Sam says.'

      Dean shrugs. "Okay." He says.

      "Okay." Sam says. There is an uncomfortable silence for a moment, then:

       "I just figured, since we're opening up veins that maybe you'd want to talk about the guy who you made sell his soul." Dean says.

       "The guy who you then killed, right?" Sal asks. "I mean, that's the same guy we're talking about?"

       Dean begins making excuses. "I was a demon." He says.

       "Oh, you were a demon? Oh, I didn't realize that." Sam says sarcastically.

       "Hey, man, Lester was gonna pay for that soul shake sooner or later." Dean says. "So technically, it's still on you."

      Sam looks frustrated. "What do you want from me, Dean? Look, I w—I'm not happy about it, okay?" He asks. "But I needed to find you. So if I had to... bend a few rules..."

       "Go dark."

       "Go dark. Sure. Label it if you want." Sam says.

        "Look, man, again, I'm not complaining, okay? In fact, I'm doing just the opposite of complaining." Dean says. "I... I just... You know, between Lester and the others..."

       "There weren't others." Sam says.

       "Okay, either way, maybe we both needed that time off." Dean looks at Sam and Sam rolls his eyes. "This is good. This is good."

       "Yeah. Okay." Sam says. They drive off into the night.

MOTEL
[ ☼ ]

        Scene begins in daylight in with the boys parked in the driveway of a seedy motel. Dean is seated in the Impala watching the door to one of the rooms through the side mirror. Sam is inside reception (we assume). After finishing, Sam returns to the car, speaking to Dean through the open window, while leaning up against the car door.

       "All right, so the, uh, clerk says a blonde rolled into room 3 just before sunup." Sam says.

       "She alone?" Dean asks.

       "He thinks so." Sam says.

        Noticing movement, Dean concentrates on the mirror in time to see a petite woman leave the room. We are shown the woman locking the door, her bracelet shaking with the movement.

       "She's on the move." Dean says.

       Sam becomes alert, turning to watch the woman as she leaves in the other direction. Dean gets out of the car and the brothers follow.

FOREST
[ ☼ ]

         The brothers follow the woman down a track where there are joggers and pedestrians surrounding them. The woman turns down a lesser used trail evidently following a jogger, and Sam and Dean shadow her.

       "What's she doing?" Sam asks.

       "Looking for breakfast." Dean says. They follow the woman sown the trail to find her coming up behind a lone jogger. They pull their guns and point them at the woman. "Kate!"

       "It's over." Sam says.

       The woman turns, revealing that it is not – in fact – Kate, but another petite blonde. She looks at them in shock and freezes, raising her hands. "Oh, god. Please, don't. I'll give you anything you want." She says. The boys semi-lower their guns, still on guard.

        "Where's Kate?" Sam asks.

       "Who?"

       "You were just in her motel room." Dean says.

        "What? That's my room."

       "Why were you following that guy?" Asks Dean.

        "Robbie?" She asks. "I-I know him. I just wanted to surprise him."

       "Test her." Sam says.

        "Test me for what?" She asks. Dean puts his gun down the back of his pants and pulls a silver knife from the inside of his shirt, approaching the woman. "No! Help! Somebody help me!"

      "Just take it easy." Dean says.

       "I don't want to die." She suddenly changes, growing fangs and claws, her eyes turning yellow.

        A fight scene ensues, with the petite woman trowing the huge burly brothers around like ragdolls. She jumps on Sam, straddling him with her finger wrapped around his throat and proceeds to start to choke him.

        Kate suddenly shows up and grabs the mystery woman from behind, hauling her off Sam. "Stop it! Stop it!" She yells.

        The woman runs and Dean aims his .45 at her, ready to shoot. Kate steps in front of the weapon, shielding the retreating woman.

        "Don't! She's my sister."

PARK
[ ☼ ]

        Dean, Sam and Kate are still in the park. Dean comes back from searching for Kate's sister. "I lost her." He pulls his gun on Kate. "Kate, why is your sister a werewolf, huh?"

       "Hey. Hey." Sam says.

       "Why?!"

       "Let her talk." Sam says.

        "I am!" Dean yells.

        "Then put the gun down."

       "Why? So she can run again? Nuh-uh." Dean says.

       "She just saved our lives." Sam says.

       Dean holds the gun on Kate, Kate stares back at him pleadingly. He lowers the gun. "My sister is a werewolf because I turned her into one." She says.

       "Okay, this is the part where you help yourself out." Dean says.

       "I-I don't care. All right? I'm sick of the lies." Kate says.

       Dean pockets his gun. "Let me get this straight. We let you run because we take pity on you, and you turn around and you start making pups? You start killing people?!" He asks.

       "It's not like that! I'm no killer." She says.

       "Well, the way I remember it from the snuff film that you left us, is that you killed your boyfriend's best friend." Dean says.

       "That's because Brian went crazy. I had no other choice." Kate says.

       "Okay, Kate, if this wasn't you..." Sam starts.

       "That's a big 'if'." Dean says.

        "Then who was it? Your sister?" Sam asks. "Your sister do this, Kate?"

        "Really?" Dean asks as Kate stares back blankly. "You almost took a bullet for her, and you got nothing?"

       Kate shakes her head. "What do you want me to say?" She asks.

       "The truth!"

       Sam notices a bunch of joggers approaching. "Hey, guys. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can we, uh, take it somewhere else?" He asks.

       "Oh, yeah, sure. Go grab some coffee, maybe some bear hearts." Dean says with a sarcastic tone. "Let's party."

DINER
[ ☼ ]

        The brothers are seated across from Kate in a booth. She reaches around to the small of her back. "Just so you know, Brian's the reason I carry this."

       "Hey." Dean says.

       "I'm just showing you something." Kate slowly pulls out a silver dagger. "In case I ever lose it, like Brian did, you won't have to kill me." She puts it away.

       "Yeah, well, saying it and doing it are two different things." Dean says.

       "I'm serious. And whether you believe me or not, I've never hurt anyone who didn't deserve it." Kate says. "And I have never, ever eaten a human heart."

       "Guess that explains all the dead chickens back at the barn." Sam says.

       "I eat what I can find, what people won't miss, hopefully. Small game, deer. I meditate. Yoga helps."

       "Yoga?" Sam asks.

       "Okay." Dean says mockingly.

       "You laugh, but... I'll pretty much try anything to keep that side of me under control." Dean says.

       "Well, that is great, Kate. It really is." Dean says. "And it's nice to see that, uh, this hippie-dippie new age crap has had such a positive influence over your sister."

        Kate sighs. "Tasha... She's a different story. After I left school, I was... Adrift. Lost. Not really sure where to go or... What to do, so... I went someplace safe." She says.

FLASHBACK

SUBURBAN HOUSE
[ ☾]

        Kate watches her family through a window from behind a tree but doesn't enter the house.

        "I went home. But...Even though I'd be good, I started to think about my family. How safe were they going to be? I was a werewolf. And then, of course, there was you two."

END FLASHBACK

DINER
[ ☼ ]

         "What if you showed up and tried to kill me? I couldn't risk that." Kate says. "So I... walked away. Never called, never wrote, just... Started a new life. Until one day, I saw a posting on my sister's Facebook page."

FLASHBACK

HOSPITAL
[ ☾]

        Kate's sister Tasha is unconscious in a hospital bed. She is covered bruises and cuts. Kate enters the room and takes her sister's hand, revealing the twin bracelets the two girls wear.

        "Tasha had been in a really bad car accident. The doctors didn't think she was gonna make it. We were always so close, so... I had to go say good-bye. Then..."

END FLASHBACK

DINER
[ ☼ ]

        "It hit me." Kate says. "This curse that I had, that had brought me nothing but pain and suffering, could actually finally maybe do something good."

FLASHBACK

HOSPITAL
[ ☾]

        Kate closes the door to her sister's room and approaches the unconscious girl.

       "If I turned Tasha into a werewolf, it would heal her wounds, save her life, give her a second chance."

END FLASHBACK

DINER
[ ☼ ]

        "So, uh... I did the unthinkable. At first, I thought I'd failed, that..." Kate starts.

FLASHBACK

CAR
[ ☾]

        Kate is driving, Tasha in the passenger seat. Still unconscious at first, she slowly comes to. She has a bite on her forearm that heals as she wakes and looks around in confusion.

       "Even though werewolves heal quickly, it was too late for Tasha. Then she woke up, not sick anymore, but okay."

        Kate speaks to Tasha, grabbing her hand. "Hi. Hey." She says.

       "Hi." Tasha says.

       "Tasha had so many questions. What happened? How did she get here? So... I was straight with her. The good, the bad, the ugly. What we were and why we could never go back home, and..."

END FLASHBACK

DINER
[ ☼ ]

       "...the responsibility we had to control what we'd become." Kate says.

FLASHBACK

CAR
[ ☾]

        "I picked you up from the hospital. I'm gonna take you someplace safe, okay?" Kate asks:

       "It was a lot to swallow. But we had each other, and that felt like enough."

END FLASHBACK

DINER
[ ☼ ]

        "Or...So I thought." Kate says.

FLASHBACK

HOTEL ROOM
[ ☾]

       Kate enters the room to find blood everywhere and her sister's feeding on a human.

       "My sister, she gave in to everything that I had warned her about. And... I knew, even if I couldn't bring myself to admit it then..."

END FLASHBACK

DINER
[ ☼ ]

       "I knew I was losing her." Kate says.

       "So back at the barn, that was all just an act to protect Tasha?" Sam asks.

       "She's family. And, yeah, worth eating a bullet for." Kate says as Sam and Dean look at each other. "And she needs me now more than ever. This is my mess. I gotta clean it up."

      "And how do you plan on doing that, Kate?" Sam asks.

       "By getting Tasha out of here." Kate says.

      "She hasn't listened to you yet." Sam says. "Why do you think she's gonna start now?"

       Kate tears up. "I don't know, but... I've gotta try. Y-you know, we'll go out into the woods." She says. "We'll drop out for however long it takes until she learns to control this."

       "Little late for team building, do you think?" Dean asks.

       "So, what? I just abandon her? I did this. I owe her every chance to make it right."

       "What if she never does?" Sam asks.

       "Then I'll take care of it." She says.

       "You'll take care of it? You know what that means?" Dean asks.

       "Why don't you ask Brian?"

        "Well, maybe it doesn't have to come to that. You know, if you had shot straight with us from the get-go, we might've been able to help you a lot sooner." Dean says.

       "What do you mean?"

       "By curing you both." Dean says as Sam looks at him in disbelief.

       "Shut up." Kate says lamely.

       "Yeah, okay, or you're welcome."

       "There is no cure for werewolves." She says.

        "And for a long time, that was true, but we found one." Dean says. Kate looks at the brothers eagerly. "Now we've got everything we need on our end. Okay? But the clock is tickin', and we need one more thing—Tasha. Unless... you wanna do this without her?"

       "N-no. No. It's a long drive, but... I know where to find her." Kate says and Dean nods.
