"The first aid kit is under your seat clemtin." said Dean as he drove the open highway.

It was midday, and there were very little cars out. and not a motel nor hotel for miles. just desert and desert.

Clemtin looked under her seat and pulled out a white box with a Red Cross on it. it was for my glass scratches I got from nearly being pulled out of the car through the window.

Dean said "why do you need a first aid? can't you just use your power?"

She opened the box then looked at me worried then she said "I'm sorry, but my power has limits."

"Limits?" I asked.

She shrugged "I don't know what I am, but whatever it is, I lack it." She paused taking out goss. "I can't keep my powers, but I'm rechargeable."

When I heard that I came to realization. I placed my hand on Deans shoulder and said "you are right, she is what you think she is."

Her eyes widened "what do you think I am?"

"Should we tell her?" I asked Dean.

Dean was about to answer, but clemtin interrupted by saying "no! I want to know."

I took a deep breath and said "we think your a half demon."

She jerked back like she was shot in the heart. she looked around the car with eyes wide for moments. then she said "like those things that are trying to kill me?"

Dean laughed and said "no, no, no sweety only half."

"Half?" she asked.

"half demon, half human." I said "you never had a mother right?"

She shrugged "don't we all?"

I shook my head "that's not what I mean. of course you have a mother she just wasn't with you through your life."

Dean said "so we think that your mother was a demon and that your father was the human."

She stared at the first aid kit breathing deeply trying to take it all in. then she said "half and half."

Dean and I looked at each other expecting a different response from Clemtin.

Then she said "that's kind of cool." then she smiled while shuffling through the kit.

The car was silent from the unexpected coolness of clemtin. she broke the silence by saying "take off your shirt."

"What?" I spat out.

Dean said "that escalated quickly."

She rolled her eyes "not like that. you have deep cuts and glass all along your back it even goes towards the front."

Dean laughed "you have my permission."

Clemtin grunted "I really want to punch right now!" to Dean. she took a deep breath then said "please take it off, I'm going to help you."

I hesitated, but then slide my shirt off. while I did so Clemtin stared at me in bewilderment.

"Is it that bad?" I ask.

She gulped some air then said "um, I'm sorry I shouldn't be scaring you like this."

"So, it's not bad?" I ask.

She shook her head and said "no, it's just very..." her words trailed off.

"Very what?" I asked this time a little scared.

"Very..., bloody." she finally said. "I better get you cleaned up."
****************************
I did not know what that was all about. was I really that bloody or was something really wrong with me? Probably not, but I'm still a little scared.

Hours upon hours Clemtin cleaned and patched my wounds that went all around my back and abs. When she was done it was night time.

Dean pulled into a gas station and said "I'm tired, and we can't stop."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Dean sighed "I'm not risking another car chase. and I'm tired so Sammy let's switch places."

Clematis then said "he is wounded. I don't think he should drive."

Dean said "and you think I'm going to let you?"

"Why wouldn't you?" She said raising her voice.

The tension was building so I cut in saying "it's okay I can drive." I got out of my seat and out the door. I was about to switch places with Dean, but then I said to clemtin "to prevent future fights why don't you sit in the front with me?"

She nodded immediately and said "sounds good."

Then we all switched seats. with Dean in the back, me driving and clemtin in the passenger seat. then we started back on the road.

Moments later you could hear Dean snoring. it was silent. I felt sleepy, but I couldn't drift. neither could clemtin. she was wide awake and staring at her hands.

I broke the silence by saying "were you going to tell me what your dream was last night?"

She looked at me for a moment then she looked behind her to make sure Dean was asleep. then she turned back to her seat.

She sighed and said "I had a nightmare about my dad."

"Was he single parent?" I asked.

She nodded "I don't like hurting people, and I feel like if I do something will take me."

"Take you?" I asked.

She laughed "I guess I'm afraid of myself. I'm afraid that one day when I Hurt the ones I love, I'll enjoy it."

Its silent for a moment then she continued "but then again he wasn't really a father to me, nor to my sister."

I said "what was he to you?"

She sighed "a drunk, addictive, abusive. that's one of the reasons why I left. that and I needed to find my sister."

"That's what your nightmare was?" I asked.

She laughed "no, I'm just telling you details so you can understand."

"Understand what?" I asked.

Her voice cracked "so you can understand..." her words trailed off as she shed a tear "that I killed him."

After saying that she bursted out crying. she hide herself in her arms trying to conceal the tears, but that didn't work.

"Does that make me a bad person?" she sobbed.

I had to pay attention to the road, but I wanted to comfort her. I kinda know what she is talking about.

I tapped her shoulder and said "hey Clemtin, hold my hand."

She hesitated at first but then placed her hand in mine. then I said "I know that you think that your a bad person for killing someone, but your intentions for doing so are not."

She sniffed a little bit and started to calm down. I continued "I kill things every day. and sometimes they beg for mercy to stay alive, but I can't do that."

"Why not?" she croaked.

"Because if they stay alive then they will hurt others." I said "you were thinking about yourself and your sister. and that's okay."

"I never thought of it like that." She said.

I was happy with myself, for I made her think a different way. I made her feels safer. she needed that.

Silence filled the car once again. clemtin kept holding my hand then she drifted to sleep.

I was too wide awake to think of sleep. but I was happy that she was here. why was I so happy?
