A Hero's not afraid to give his life It was a tough day at the hospital I worked at, well 'interned' at, still I'm paid decently. Either way it was draining both physically and mentally. Jalil was working the zombie hour asi called it over at one of the coffee shops, an hour which few people came in and the baristas often have a little fun messing with each other. My turn to have some fun. Getting out of my ruby red 2012 hyundai elantra with my guitar case in my hand, I checked the time before I walked into Harvelle's Roadhouse.
I didn't really like visiting this place, mainly due to the hunters that visited frequently. Hunters and witches don't mix, especially since most witches give white magic witches a bad name. I ordered a light drink, I never really did like the taste of beer anyways, before I moved to an isolated table away from any hunters but close enough where I could hear the lastest gossip, which was always nice to know about hunters. I put my guitar case next to my chair as I scanned the room quietly for any sign of danger.
Rin was at home just where I left her,snoozing away on the couch. I never did understand her, and I still don't. She told me familiars choose their witch, how or why she chose me? Never will know. She didn't like me going alone because I could get into trouble with hunters, demons, or anything. I do try to keep myself armed with a dagger in my pocket, or tucked in my boots if I ever wear them. I Strechted as I leaned back, nearly losing my balance. I panicked before I caught myself before looking around to see if anyone saw me almost fall.

BELA TALBOT
Bela rolled her eyes as she pulled into the parking lot of harvelle's. she'd run a simple con--the san diego slider--and it should have gone well, but the stupid winchester boys had blown it. now she had no parvati talisman, was out three hex bags, and was no richer than the day before.
in other words, she could really use a drink.
she also hoped to see jo when she got inside. that was one of the only women bela could stomach; she didn't play games, didn't lie, and probably couldn't run a con to save her life. but she was still smart, which is all bela cared about.
bela slid into a seat at the bar and ordered something straightforward, not wanting to mess around with fruity drinks or look for a mark to buy her one. that's usually how she got drinks, by hitting on pathetic men who quickly tried to hide their wedding bands. tonight, she just felt like keeping things simple.
as she sipped her scotch and glanced around, the presence of so many hunters made her nervous. a few of them she knew, but mostly they were strangers. all of them had hard looks in their eyes, having seen too much or quite possibly watched a friend die today.
except for one: a young man in the corner. he sat alone, withdrawn from the rest of the crowd, looking tired but not tired enough to be a hunter. it made bela curious and she considered approaching him but wasn't sure it was the smartest thing to do in a place like harvelle's.

A Hero's not afraid to give his life Samuel felt uneasy almost being in close distance with so many hunters. His gut was telling to get the hell out of there, while his mind was telling to stay to scope things out for the better of him and his brother's safety. From what he was hearing, Aaron majority of the topics were on demons, vampires, and shapeshifters. Good no witches...yet. The thought came to his mind as he took a sip of his drink.
This talk about demons brought something that he was supposed to work on at some point. Hex bags. More noticeably the ones that can potentially keep lesser demons away. Of course this was the wrong place to bring up this topic with all the hunters roaming around. A majority of them probably wouldn't even think twice if he was revealed. No thanks to the witches who abuse their powers the young man thought before adjusting his clasp chain bracelet and checking the time doing his best not to draw attention.
Him being withdrawn from the others really seemed like a bad start to Samuel, so he snapped open his guitar case and took out his guitar from a brief moment to reach a thick paper backbook that he kept in his case under the Taylor Guitar he treasured so much. After getting the book he gently placed the guitar back in its case and snapped it shut before starting to read Ulysses. Or re-read it.
Samuel looked up from his book and saw a woman with light brown hair and curiously glanced over in that direction. Was she a hunter? He couldn't tell from where he sat. Did he want to find out? Yes, did he want to over there and risk it? Potentially. In his eyes, she didn't 'seem' like a hunter, but he knew from personal experience looks are deceiving.

BELA TALBOT
bela nearly choked on her scotch when she saw the strange guy in the corner pull out a book and read. who came to a bar, especially one like harvelle's, to read a book?!
she definitely had to know more about him. instead of approaching him head-on, which could be deadly, she got the attention of the hunter nearest to her. he smelled of blood and dirt, and merely grunted as she smiled over at him.
okay, she thought as she downed the rest of her drink. this is going to be harder than i thought.
she asked his name and he ignored her, ordering another shot of whisky. "one for me, too," bela said to the bartender. she slid over one seat so she was next to the hunter, who glanced over at her for the first time. his eyes bulged a little; did he know who she was, or did he just like what he saw?
in either case, bela knew she could get what she wanted. putting a hand gently atop his on the bar, she flashed a brilliant smile and motioned to the guy in the back.
"listen, i have a proposition for you." she brought her lips close to his ear. "tell me what you know about that man over there and i'll make it worth your while."
the hunter chuckled, peering down at her hand touching his, and then looked over at the nerdy, strange, intriguing man with his nose buried in a book.
"him? dunno. never seen him in here before." bela slumped a little. if he was new, then he had to have a reason for coming. with a guitar. she smirked as she turned back around in her seat.
was he going to play a little tune for them? that would be a harvelle first.

A Hero's not afraid to give his life
Samuel turned his head to the nearest table, which had a few hunters. Closing his book he listened in on their conversation which consisted of Demon omens, signs and anything else in that nature. The location wasn't too far from where he and Jalil were staying. He concidered walking over there, but he did not know the hunters and he could never risk it to walk up to one. He didn't know if these hunters were friendly or anything about them.
Anyways he couldn't risk them seeing what was deep in the pouch on the top part iinside the case. Well alongside of several picks he kept, along with extra strings and anything else that a guitarist might, was a hex bag, and a few enchanted coins. Last thing he needed was one of them to find those.
He glanced around the bar once more as if to scout something out before seeing the woman that had walked in a while ago. He was curious now. Even more so than he was a while ago. Samuel thought it over. Should he go over? The debate ran through his mind yet again. Finally curiosity got the best of him and he picked his case up, after securely locking it and made his way over there and sat in the seat nearest to her. Was this a smart move? Probably not one of Samuel's smartest. His curiosity won this round.

BELA TALBOT
going back to ignoring the beefy hunter to her left, bela felt something she hadn't in a long time: surprise. the guitar-wielder had worked up the courage to come over to her, and a chill ran through her that had nothing to do with his presence. no, the sensation was coming from his guitar case.
"curiouser and curiouser," she thought to herself as she examined him from the corner of her eye. there was an aura to him that she couldn't quite place, but that was familiar. like if she wanted to reach out and touch him, she would get zapped.
it was strange. she had no idea where the feeling was coming from; the thought had just sprang into her mind, unbidden. looking him over again, she decided it was just a figment of her imagination. being in a bar full of demon-slaying goody-two-shoes did that to a woman.
ordering another shot, bela turned her full attention to the young man on her right. "how are you tonight?" she asked, her voice as smooth and innocent as she could make it.

A Hero's not afraid to give his life Samuel at first did not answer, he was thinking of the right thing to say. One wrong word and the whole bar of hunters could be on him. He admitted that he looked out of place with a guitar case. He does know some hunters have to find creative ways to conceal their weapons and tools, and that the case could be a similar setting on the outside.
Him a hunter. He chuckled lightly at the thought. Sure he could pretend to be one, claim he was. However he couldn't kill shapeshifters, and other supernatural creatures. The best thing he could do was exorcise demons from their host, or even summon them with a spell ifhe really had to. He didn't like that idea. He better stick with the medical assistant and such. And any gig he lands at a bar. Those seem like better ideas.
It was then he remembered the woman next to him had spoke. "Tired" he replied. "Long day today. Needed someplace to go for the night and picked this place out." he explained. Maybe if he played the part as a hunter it wouldn't seem as suspicious. He was a witch after all in the hunters domain. A lamb in the lion's den. In order to stay alive to prevent the beefy and muscular hunters at the nearby tables, he'd have to be a wolf in sheeps clothing. Anyways the real reason he was here was to scope out news on the supernatural, mostly demon news.
"If you don't mind me asking, what is someone like you doing here? You don't seem like the hunter type." he asked. Granted the same could be said about him. He didn't look like a hunter either. He was familiar with the basic knowledge, but in the field? Different story entirely. His eyes shifted to the case as he leaned it against the barstool he sat on.

BELA TALBOT
something the guy said confused bela. was he planning to stay in the bar all night? surely she'd heard him wrong. she noticed him glance continually at his guitar case and wondered what exactly was in there. was it just an expensive guitar he was worried would be stolen, or was it something else...?
she couldn't figure the guy out and it bothered her. during a con, her life depended on her being able to read others quickly. if she couldn't, they'd make her and she'd be arrested--or worse. so usually she could tell at a glance what someone was, if they were a supernatural being or not, if they were susceptible or not. but him she couldn't figure out. he seemed nervous and calm at different intervals, happy and uneasy at others. it made no sense.
bela, this is not why you came here, she reminded herself. she'd been looking for a buyer for one of her, um, sensitive items and the hunters had seemed like the best bet. or maybe ash, who was into the whole technology thing.
then the man--she still didn't know his name--asked her what she was doing in a place like this, and she smirked. out of anyone else it would have been a line, but from him . . . it was genuine, she realized with another wave of surprise. she popped a peanut into her mouth.
"you're right, i'm no hunter. i'm just looking for someone to help me . . . make a deal." it made her sound like a demon, she knew, which was why she'd said it. "what's your name, hm? i'm tabetha." she wondered what he'd make of the name.

A Hero's not afraid to give his life Samuel chuckled slightly. "Nothing is going to pop out of the case and attack. I keep it close, it's a sentimental guitar of mine." That was true. In the guitar world Taylor Guitars are one of the most expensive ones out there with the newest models reaching close to, if not over $5000. And that doesn't include any fancy tidbits anyone would want to add. "Would rather bring it in here where I can keep an eye on it, than to leave it in the car even if it was locked in the trunk."
"Name's Sam" he responded "Given name Samuel but whatever". He added as his asutralian accent came out. He quickly brushed the hair out of his eyes and tucked it behind his ear. Normally he did not mind his accent but he was getting tired of being called a Brit. Bloody Brits. He thought. He was honestly neutral feeling towards them, but with his peers in High School who were British, he found him say thing that to them a lot . He could only guess some British folk would say the same thing to Australians.
A deal? That was new. "Hm." he thought out loud. He had peers in school with that name, of course he didn't pay too much attention to names. He prefered to have his nose in a thick book , studying, or playing tennis and running track.

BELA TALBOT
"are you attached to the guitar?" bela asked. "i once had a similar relationship with an espresso machine; couldn't bare to be separated from it. i still have dreams about it sometimes." okay, so she was teasing him a little, but he looked at the guitar case like god himself was inside.
as for his name, she wasn't so fond of it. sam only served to remind her of sam winchester, which always darkened her mood. sure, the hunter was handsome, and his brother moreso, but they were too meddlesome. constantly interfering with her business. pulling herself out of her sudden spiral, she grinned over at the sam who looked nothing like sam winchester.
"so," she continued, "do you prefer samuel over sam? and how old are you anyway?" she hadn't meant to ask that last part and if she was anyone else, she would've blushed.

Jo had arrived at her graveyard shift that usually ran until at least two am, maybe even three, that was, when the hunters had decided that they had enough booze for one night. However if there was one thing that Jo Harvelle knew about hunters - their booziness knew no bounds. It was often that certain hunters fell from their chairs bringing the table with them and then spending the night there until the bar re-opened in the next morning. That was why the bar had a surplus of blankets. It took one to know one and that was that. It was only a hunter that could ascertain that the person before them was not just some schlub from the streets. Hunters had a peculiar aura about them that made them hunters. They resonated a boldness that was not common in most other people. Hunters... ahh Hunters.. Jo scanned the room drinking in the patrons at the bar table and those hunched over their tables in a deep boozy sleep. She held a dispenser in her hand as she refilled a gentleman's glass. He, like all other hunters, knew how to hold their booze. And so with one great big swig he raised the glass to salute Jo, who stood there and raised waggled her eyebrows before the booze was gone. It was then that two hunters had began yelling at each other. "HEY!" she yelled, "Cut that crap out." The two hunters who held each other's collars with their fists raised immediately resisted. Dropped their hands and one even went as far as to straighten out the other's coat jacket, "Good one bud, sorry about." He turned to Jo and gave a thumbs up, "Won't happen again darling." Jo snarled at him and gave him a thumbs down while saying, "It better not happen in my bar." She shivered despite herself, however, a shiver that was not visible but one of complete dominance. She was not used to this. Christ, I sound like my mother. And where the hell was she, anyways. She always seemed to go on these secretive "supply runs" without disclosing the details.
It was then Jo's job to hold down the fort. She was so not used to being a leader. She would much rather lock herself in a gun locker and polish her daddy's gun. It was then that she replaced the dispenser and wiped her hands together, snatching the wash cloth tucked between the bottle in the girdle. "If any of you boys need a refill just help yourselves," she said to no one in particular. And where was Dean? Sam? Where were all these people she cared about? They always seemed to go on these visions of grandoise.. she sighed loudly to herself as she entered the backroom and collapsed into the chair. She sat there motionless before pouting and throwing the cloth over to the far side. It landed a corner with a soft thump. She missed those people something awful. Dean's wit that made her laugh with his snarky one liners, Sam's sweet caring kindness, and her mother's overbearing maidenhood. One day, she would be able to go out there and kill something. She was meant to live, and this was not living. This was wasting away and slaving herself picking up the broken and jumbled pieces of lazy ass hunters. She wanted to more. But for now her mother had given her a job to do. Jo turned herself on the wheels and gripping the arm rests she pushed herself to her feet and re-entered the bar. It had seemed that some time had passed more than she would have liked. Most of the tables were now refilled, and the bar table was half of that. At least there was that. Her eyes scanned the room looking for some form of reason to go over and slap a hunter for being a total tool. But.. Bella? Why the hell was she here? And who the hell was she sitting with? Jo made use of what she had and for the moment wanted to remain discreet. She did not want Bella and this strange fellow at her bar knowing that she was in charge. But despite herself she never got what she wanted. Everyone always looked down on her with a look of scorn. She bit her lip before deciding... no, I am not going to hide. Like some weak pathetic ingrate. Therefore, she crossed the threshold to the table where the con artist took occupation.
As she made her way through the tables some of the hunters turned their heads and nodded at her. And that was all that was usually said between these people. A silent vow that was taken as soon as they entered the bar. As most of the hunters that wandered in here left as family. She tapped a hunter on the back here, shook this one's hand, stopped to have quick small chat with another, but her prize was the fair haired con woman. She had walked in on them during a talk about music and guitars and a life worth living. She passed a table with a hunter sitting by his lonseome. And grabbing a chair by the top she began to drag the chair to Bela's table. She turned the chair around and immediately sat down facing the back of the chair straddling it. She crossed her arms over the top one over the other and simply said, "Hi."

A Hero's not afraid to give his life
Sam laughed, "Not in that way. It's a Taylor Guitar." He stated. "While non musicians wouldn't really care, it's one of the better quality guitars. The bass frequency are loud a deep but not overwhelming. The midrange is rich and smooth sounding no matter where you are on the neck. Overall it sounds phenomenal and nothing really can't beat it." He explained. "the downside, one of the most pricy brands out there."
"I prefer Sam, Samuel seems to rough on the tongue, especially if someone is angry. Anyways, 21 don't look like it though." He chuckled, brushing some hair out of his eyes that had fallen. He looked over his shoulder as he heard something behind him. "oh hi there." He greeted.
