Chapter 16: Djinn part 1

Thanks for the reviews guys! Just a few things: This story won't completely follow the Supernatural plot line when Dean come back from hell (end of season 3) and Twilight is going to be stretched out farther than the books (Emmett, Rose, and Jasper graduated the year prior while everyone else is now going into their senior year). Also one I post part two to this chapter up I'm going through and redoing some of the older chapters, same plot just better wording. But once again thanks guys! And let me know what you think or any recommendations!

Have you ever had a dream that made you spend the entire day wondering if it really happened? Or a dream where you desperately try to wake up from but just can't?
Ring. Ring. I shot upright in my bed drenched in a cold sweat frantically looking around my room. It was just a dream..just a dream. I shakily placed my hand over my heart as it felt like it was going to burst through my chest.

Ring. Ring.

I blinked trying to focus on where my phone was before stumbling out of bed and to my desk where I had left my phone. Kelsey Singer.

"Hello?" My voice was deep with sleep.

"About time you answered!" Kelsey's voice was peppy as usual. "I'm about 4 hours from Forks, wanna meet up and get breakfast?"

"It's barely after 3 in the morning Kels." I groaned before falling back on my bed. "Why the hell are you in Washington?" I closed my eyes desperate for sleep, this past week and a half had been, lack for better words, awful.

"There's a case near Forks I figured you'd be interested in, and since your brothers won't talk to either of us right now I figured we could do it for old time sake!"

"Where do you want to meet at?" I internally groaned.

"Haha." Kelsey let out a nervous laugh. "That's why I called you so early, but Aberdeen, I think it's about 2 hours south of Forks."

"You're going to be the death of me, I swear."

"I knew you'd be down for this! But meet me at Billy's Bar and Grille around 5:30. I'll see you soon!" Kelsey hung up the phone before I could respond. Great. I started to regret my decision as I pushed myself off the bed and stumbled to my closet trying to be quiet.

This was one of the rare nights that Edward wasn't in Bella's room, so thankfully he didn't hear that conversation. I grabbed my duffle that I had packed for emergencies and a change of clothes before quietly making my way towards the bathroom. The light blinded my eyes as they took their time to adjust and I almost wish I didn't look in the mirror. My eyes were bloodshot and the bags under my eyes were so dark it looked like I'd broken my nose again. What I wouldn't do to get a full night of sleep for once. After changing into an Aerosmith t-shirt, Black hoodie, and black ripped jeans; I scribbled a note for Charlie before hanging it on the fridge and made my way to my car that was, thankfully, parked aways from the house. I closed my car door quietly before a rather quick movement caught my attention towards the edge of the woods near the house. Was that..? I furrowed by brow, why was the pack watching the house? A question for another time Lex, I muttered under my breath before starting my car and heading towards Aberdeen.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Would you like a refill, sweetheart?" I lifted my head up from the table before sitting upright and nodding my head. 6:45. I sat my phone back down and wearily looked around the diner but Kelsey was still no where in sight.

"Typical. She'd be late to her own funeral.." I muttered out loud as I gripped the fourth cup of coffee in my hands.

"Hey now, it's called fashionably late." Kelsey's voice came from behind but I was to tired to look. "You look awful." She said as she scooted in the booth across from me. She was wearing a white button down tucked into a pencil skirt with a fake pair of black framed glasses pushed up into her hair.

"Thanks. I'd probably look better if I wasn't woken up at an ungodly hour." I said my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Anyway, what's the news?"

"Here," Kelsey pulled out a portfolio and took out some newspaper clipping passing them to me. "So these people have been mysteriously vanishing over the past month."

"And you're sure it's just not some psycho on the loose?" I shifted through the clippings looking at the pictures of the missing.

"That brings me to my next point." Kelsey said as she started flipping through her portfolio again and pulled out an autopsy photo. "Explain this then." I glanced around making sure no one was watching us as I picked the photo up.

"What kind of thing leaves blue hand prints like that? I mean that's no bruise." I held the picture closer to my face.

"I'm pretty sure it's from a Djinn." She replied gathering the clippings back up and putting them in her portfolio before she snatched the picture from my hands.

"Djinn? Like a genie? Like in Aladdin the you get three wishes sort of genie?" I took a sip from my coffee feeling more awake.

"Not quiet. They feed off of humans by poisoning them with a touch, apparently they put you in a dream like state, and you see your heart most desired thing before you die." Kelsey grabbed my coffee from me and took a sip. "Or at least that's what I've read about them, they're tricky and manipulative for starters ."

"Great." I put my head on the table. "So what's the plan?"

"I'm going to the funeral parlor to take a look at the body, but then I'll probably do a little more digging around." Kelsey looked at me with slight concern. "Are you okay? I haven't seen you look this rough since-"

"So if you're doing that, what should I do?" I cut her off not wanting to hear what she was going to say. Kelsey let out a frustrated sigh before she scribbled something on a napkin and handed it to me.

"It's the address for the hotel, you should get some sleep I can't have you half dead on this case."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Wake up!" I felt my body being shaked rather hard as I slowly opened my eyes. "Good lord Lex, it's almost 5 pm, have you been sleeping this whole time?" Kelsey looked at me concerned as she started to change into different clothes.

"I-yeah I guess." I let out a big yawn thankful I actually got more than an hour of sleep for once.

"Anyway, I think I found where it's keeping victims at." Kelsey yelled from the bathroom.

"Really? That was fast." I scrambled out of bed dragging my duffle bag into the bathroom.

"Yeah, it's the only abandoned place in town really. A fishing pier, it's also close to where they found the first body." Kelsey was fixing her makeup in the mirror.

"So it's sloppy." I started digging through my bag excitement coursing through me.

"I figured we can explore it tonight and see if it's still there or if it's left town." Kelsey squeezed my arm as she passed me. "Also what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you look that bad since Tyler broke up with you."

"Nothing, I'm fine." I said caught off guard.

"So who's the boy?" I could hear the smile in her voice.

"I don't even know if there is one." I yelled back as I started to change my clothes. "Besides it's not like I could ever have a real relationship with someone."

"Why?! You dated Tyler, remember?!" She yelled back.

"You know why, and besides Tyler was a hunter too!" I let out a frustrated sigh as I started to comb the tangles out of my hair. "I don't want him to know about what we do and not to mention, I don't want to end up like Sammy and Jessica did."

"You know Dean would be thrilled for you to stop doing working cases, then you can live a normal life." Kelsey was sitting on the bed when I walked out of the bathroom. She had ditched her skirt and button up for a plain grey t-shirt and a pair of black leggings.

"Yeah right, you and I both know the only way out of this is when we're dead." I snorted as I started pulling my hair into a messy bun.

"Have some faith for once." She rolled her eyes. "But let's go get dinner before we head over to the pier." It was as if on cue my stomach started rumbling.

"Bacon cheeseburgers?" I could feel myself practically drooling at the thought of them.

"Good lord, I swear you and Dean are the same person." She huffed out as she stood up and went to the door. "You coming or what?" Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"We messed up Kelsey." I groaned, wincing as I rolled over to my back. Every muscle in my body ached and to top it off with a pounding headache. "Kelsey?" I paused waiting for a response. "You've gotta be joking." I muttered under my breath as I opened my eyes. The bright light instantly made me shut them again and groan at the pain in my head. What happened? I tried recalling the events from last night but ended at a blank. We went and got dinner before driving over to the pier, but then everything went dark. "Kelsey?! Seriously this isn't funny!" I raised my voice annoyed she wasn't responding and the fact this headache wouldn't go away. I sat myself up and leaned back on my arm as I opened my eyes and started blinking to adjust to the bright light. What the- I froze. This isn't the hotel room..where am I? I jumped out of bed and began to panic.

The room was light purple with various photos hung up, along with fairy lights strung up, and a tapestry on the wall by the bed. You're dreaming, this must be a dream. I pinched my arm and jumped when I felt it. I walked over to a wall that had the most pictures on it and started roaming it to see where I was. Is this me? I froze when my eyes landed on a picture from prom, there was Bella, Jessica, Angela, and Lauren? I kept looking through the pictures when I felt my heart skip a beat, was that? There's no way. I reached up and grabbed the picture off the wall, the sound of pans clanging downstairs snapped my attention away and I left the room in a hurry to see if it was true. Her back was to me as she was mixing something in a bowl, she looked like she did in the pictures I saw of her.

"Mom?" I felt my voice crack as she turned around.

"Good morning sweetie." She said softly before her expression changed into worry. "What's wrong?" I flung myself into her arms as the tears started flowing. "Did you have another nightmare?" She gently stroked my hair before she pulled away slightly. I just nodded my head not sure what to say but also not wanting this moment to end. "Go and sit down I'll finish making breakfast." She motioned for me to sit at the small island in the kitchen. I wasn't sure how long I just sat there and tried to memorize her every movement until she sat a plate in front of me snapping me out of my trance.

"Now don't forget you're supposed to pick Bella up in about an hour." She said as she started to clean up the kitchen. "I'll be home late tonight as well." She said as she fixed her shirt.

"You're a nurse..?" I finally noticed that she was wearing scrubs.

"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" She looked at me concerned.

"I-yeah. I should probably go get ready." I said as I felt my stomach start turning. I watched as she gave me a small smile and grab of her keys as she left the house before I made a mad dash to the bathroom to throw up the food I had just eaten. What the hell is going on? I rested my head against the cool tile floor wracking my brain on what was happening. This felt way to real to be a dream, also I don't think I died..no no, not dead. Sammy or Dean should know! I shakily pushed myself up from the bathroom floor and tried to find my phone in my new apparent bedroom. I scrolled through my contacts until I found Dean's name and hit the call button.

Ring. Ring. Riiiing.

"This is Dean. Leave a message." I left a short message asking him to call me back before I search through until I found Sam's name and did the same thing.

Ring. Rin-

"Hello?"

"Sammy somethings wrong." I couldn't help the fear that showed in my voice.

"Why what happening? Is mom okay?" Sam's voice shot through the phone.

"Yeah, she's fine but something is off. Do you remember what you and Dean were doing a few days ago?"

"I-are you okay Alexis?" I tensed up, he never called me that. "Look, you know Dean and I haven't spoken to each other in years now, also Sammy? You've never called me that."

"I-Uh-" I pulled my phone away from my head before hanging up as quickly as I could.

Just breath, it's just a dream you can't wake up from. I took a deep breath in before walking over to my closet and started searching for clothes to change into. I ended up settling on a plain black t-shirt, a pair of plain skinny jeans and a black hoodie, there were none of my usual band t-shirts and ripped jeans to be found anywhere. Well hopefully my cars here, I mutter as I made my way into the garage. You've got be to kidding. In the garage was a shiny white Jeep Wrangler. I couldn't help the groan that came out of my mouth, but of all vehicles I had to have this one.

The drive towards Bella's house was familiar but different, instead of it being misty and overcast outside it was actually sunny with a chilly breeze, I can't think of the last time I saw the sun in Forks. Bella was waiting outside on the porch with a scrawny looking boy when I pulled up and watched as she tugged his shirt to get him to follow her.

"Hey Lexy!" Bella's voice was more chipper than usual. "Edward lets go!" She shouted over her shoulder as he begrudgingly got into the back of the Jeep. I felt my eyes go wide when I took in his appearance, an acne cover face with thick rimmed glasses, with green eyes and greasy hair-he looked nothing like the Edward I knew. He quickly averted my eyes and looked out the window. "We don't have all day Lexy." Bella said as she buckled herself in. "Hello?" She snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Remember were meeting up with everyone at First Beach."

"Um yeah." I shook my head this dream couldn't get any weirder.

The whole way to La Push Bella gossiped nonstop, something that I wasn't used to. Even after I parked at First Beach she was still going on about something Lauren did, I had lost track on what she was saying a long time ago.

"Bella! Lexy!" Mike Newton jogged over to us and wrapped his arms around our shoulders. "Edward.." Mike nodded in his direction as Edward was picking at his face. "I still don't know what she see in him." Mike whispered to me as he steered me towards the group. All I could do was shrug my shoulder, not trusting my words at the moment. "And I spoke too soon." Mike's arm tensed up around my shoulder as a bunch of laughter floated in our direction. I turned my head to see a bunch of the Quileute boys joking around and heading right towards us, a few familiar faces stuck out when my eyes drifted and landed on Paul. He looked almost the same, still muscular but a lot less than usual, his hair was still cut shorter than the others, he looked more like a normal teen for once. I felt Mike move his arm when I saw the look Paul shot him and in just a few more steps Paul pulled me in for a rather passionate kiss in front of everyone.

"We need to figure things out, the sooner the better." He whispered in my ear as he wrapped me into a tight hug. I nodded my head confused on what he was saying but also oddly enjoying this moment. I tried pushing away this uneasy filling that tried creeping up on me and tried to relax. It was a dream, I might as well enjoy it until I finally wake up, right? I soon found myself joking around with Embry and Paul when Mike offered us some of the food that they had grilled.

"Will you excuse me?" I stood up knocking the plate out of Mike's hand before I ran over to my Jeep and puked my guts out again.

"Jesus babe." I felt Paul's hands pull my hair away from my face.

"I'm sorry. I just don't know what's wrong with me today." I wiped my mouth wishing I had something to get the smell away but it didn't seem to phase Paul as he sat by me and leaned against the Jeep.

"You know we need to talk about it." Paul pulled me tight into his side.

"About what?" I looked at him confused. "You know what." He tightened his grip around me.

"I mean we should probably start telling people, they're starting to get suspicious already."

"Suspicious of wha-?" I froze as what he was saying dawned on me. "I'm-we're-"

"It'll be okay. I'll take care of you both I promise." He kissed the top of my head.

"No. No. This is a dream and I'll wake up at any moment." I stressed my words and pinched my arm ever harder.

"Look I know I'm scared too but this isn't a dream. Maybe I should drive you home, you're not acting like yourself." Paul stood up and tried to help me to my feet when movement behind him made my blood turn cold. There was a girl in a dirty white dress staring at me.

"Babe you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." I could talk I just pointed behind him. Paul spun around to see what I pointed at. "I don't see anything. Let's get you home." He started to steer me to the passenger side of my car when the figure vanished into thin air. I need to get out of this place. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Third POV

"Please answer." Kelsey was pacing in the hotel room biting her already short nails.

"This is Dean's other, other, other phone leave a message. It's an emergency call my other, other, other, oth-" Kelsey threw her phone at the wall as an angry tear slipped down her face.

"Dean's going to kill me." She started talking to herself as she picked up her phone to dial another number.

"Hello?" The familiar voice came from the other line and she couldn't help the sigh of relief that passed her lips.

"Thank god, Tyler." She ran her hand through her tangled hair. "I fucked up, please please say you're close to Washington."

"I'm in Portland right now, did something happen?" Tyler's tone changed sounding worried.

"Can you get to Aberdeen like now? I think a Djinn took Lexy-"

"A Djinn? Why in the hell are you guys going after one of those."

"Look I don't want to hear it right now." Kelsey snapped back at him. "I know we were in over our heads but can you help me or not?"

"I don't have a choice do I? I'm about 3 hours away, send me your location." The line went dead as Kelsey pulled her phone back. It wasn't that she didn't like Tyler, he was a great guy, and not to mention his dad Caleb was good friends with her dad and John, she just didn't like the fact that he dated Lex and strung her along for the longest time, and the fact that he was almost 5 years older than her as well. Kelsey shook her head, she would rather work with Tyler at the moment over Dean. It was Dean's idea for her to take Lexy on a hunt so Sam, Dean, Charlie, and Bobby could to Calvary cemetery without her tagging along. So this wasn't entirely her fault, right? Kelsey continued to pace in the room before she pulled out her laptop and began researching to distract herself until Tyler got there. A loud single knock came front the door as Kelsey glanced at the clock, it was almost 5 am and she could feel just how tired she was but she hoisted herself up and answered the door.

"I swear you two always get in over your heads." Tyler pushed past her and threw his bag on the bed. He looked practically the same as he did the last time she saw him. Tall, strong jaw line, and muscular with lightly tanned skin. The blue flannel shirt hugged him just right and the jeans did too. "Are you even listening to me?" She snapped her eyes up to his hoping he didn't notice her ogling.

"Look I get it, I never should of took this on in the first place. But Dean wanted me to distract Lex with a case and this was the closest to Forks." She crossed her arms as she sat on the corner of the bed.

"So you pick a fight with a Djinn? Have either of you even seen one before?" Tyler said harshly as he started rummaging through his bag.

"No-"

"That was your first mistake." Tyler paused digging in his bag and turned towards Kelsey. "We need to gather a few things, the sooner the better. It only takes a few days before their victims end up succumbing."

"You've delt with one before?" Kelsey sounded curious.

"Unfortunately," Tyler kept his eyes on his bag, "and I hoped I'd never see one again but here I am."

Buzz. Buzz. Buzzzz.

I felt a phone vibrate under a pillow and tried to ignore it as I snuggled deeper into the blankets. Was it bad to say I never wanted this moment to end? I could feel Paul's breath tickling the back of my neck and his arm wrap tighter around my waist. It was so peaceful, some thing I've never experienced before. There were no monsters, no having to constantly watch my back, I don't want to leave this place. My eyes started fluttering when a shadow caught my attention. My eyes flew back open and the girl in the dirty white dress was standing in front of my bed. She looked like she was trying to say something but disappeared when I jumped waking Paul up in the process.

"Are you okay?" He said his voice thick with sleep. I turned myself so I was facing his chest and tried to forget what I saw.

"Yeah-" my voice was weak as I cleared my voice to try again. "Yeah I am now." I watched the smile play on his lips as I pulled his head towards mine for a short, sweet kiss before he rolled and pinned me to the bed.

"I like where this is going." A knock at the door snapped both of our attention to it. I pushed Paul off and scrambled to my feet and threw my comforter over him.

"Lex? You awake sweetie?" My mom said from the other side as I scrambled to unlock my door and crack it open.

"Yeah I am sorry, I was uh, listening to some music."

"Well hurry up and get dressed, we're supposed to meet up with Renée and Bella for lunch and shopping." She said with a smile before she turned went back down the stairs. Renée was still with Charlie? I shook my head as Paul uncovered himself.

"If you want you can take my Jeep home once we leave?" I whispered loud enough for him to hear. "Okay, well I'm going to get ready so I'll see you later?" I didn't wait for a reply as I dashed to the bathroom to get ready and left my room shortly after. Maybe this wasn't a dream? And somehow I was thrown into an alternate reality? I mean I should of woken up by now, right? I heard the backdoor of mom's car open as Renée and Bella slid into the back seat and they all started gossiping. I tuned them out as we headed towards Port Angeles and tried to ignore the wave of nausea that hit me.

"Mom look out!" The words flew out of my mouth as the girl in the dirty white dress appeared in the middle of the road once again. She slammed on the brakes as the car came to a screeching halt.

"What? What's wrong?" My mom sounded panicked as she looked around seeing if she hit anything.

"I-I thought I saw someone in the road." I choked on my words as they looked at me as if I had lost it.

"Honey.. are you sure you're okay? Maybe we should just go home?" She reaches out and squeezed my leg.

"No, I'm fine. I just-I'm just tired." I sounded disbelieved as my eyes continued to scan around. Who was this girl and what did she want? ◦
