Hey, thanks a bunch for the update! I just love Jenni, she's such a nice character. Take care and write when you can. Good luck with all the preparations!
Author's Response: I'm glad you are still enjoying Jenni - I've always enjoyed her character, she has been a fun one to work with. Glad you enjoyed chapter 6. Thanks for the review.

Another brilliant chapter,a Werewolf that can change at will, thats different, looking forward to finding out more.
Author's Response: I decided to spruce up the lore a bit. I had fun with it - there are all kinds of werewolves out there, so doing the research on them was a lot of fun. I'm glad you enjoyed chapter 6. Thanks for the review.
Reviewer: Primrose (Signed) · Date: 17/09/09 10:33 PM · On: Chapter 6
Hooray! I am so glad to see an update! It's selfish, I know, but in truth I didn't expect one until after the wedding, and I'm thrilled I didn't have to wait that long. I love what you did with the werewolves. It opens the lore up so much to talk about different kinds. I really liked Dean in this chapter- still suffering memories from hell. I liked Sam's impressions of him. I liked what's going on with Jenni too. Well, gee, I think I just liked it. I'll have to e-mail you later to see if you managed to watch everything before the premiere, and what you're thinking of season 5! Hang in there with the wedding stuff. It's worth it!
Author's Response: I'm glad that you enjoyed chapter 6, Julie. It doesn't seem to me like you are being selfish, I'm flattered that you are enjoying this one so much that you were thrilled to see another chapter. Even though chapter 7 is going to be my last one until after the wedding, and then depending on how busy work is and how busy Mike and I are depends on if I get another one up before Christmas or not. I'm glad you enjoyed the werewolves lore though. I wasn't too fond of Krikpe's version, one the things I've always loved about werewolves is how they actually morph into wolves. The brothers face the pack in the next chapter so hope you enjoy it. Hope you had a great time on your vacation too! Thanks for the review.

Very much appreciate that you find the time to update with yor busy schedule and I hope you're feeling better meanwhile, sounds you have the right guy at your side to face just everything! In many respects this was a dark chapter but still I loved it so much because it showed how deeply Sam and Dean are hurting and suffer about their damaged bond (it's not broken though, otherwise it wouldn't hurt that bad). The picture you used for this was excellent, "Dean had never really taken much notice in it before because it had always been so natural. Sam always on his wing, his shoulder lightly bruising his, Sam's strides shortening to match Dean's or Dean lengthening his to match Sam's. They were always in sync with each other - had each other's backs." Yes, the brothers are clearly out of sync and both are walking wounded. Sam obviously was right Jenni wouldn't talk to Dean about the attack to not hurt his brother (really love this side of her, very caring) but she also saw the distance between them and Dean figured it out himself and seeing his reaction I fear for Sam as much as I do for Dean. Dean seemed to be beyond angry, more disappointed and nearly like he's about to give up on his brother, what for sure would throw Sam over the edge and it is the worst condition for their deadly dangerous hunt. The dinner scene expressed this in a very painful and saddening way: I remember the meals Jenni cooks with care and love always meant especially to Sam a lot, a bit of peace and normalcy in their life, but now it's like this lost its taste too. Amazing scene! Dean's discovery at the end (is Jenni pregnant?) doesn't mean anything good, I'm afraid all their lives are more than ever at stake. Brilliant chap, a huge thank you!
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. Especially Jenni's view of them. She can get a good idea of the fact that something isn't right between them because she's seen them before, back when they were still coming together after John's death but not so out of sync with each other. So of course she'd notice that something is going on between them. The brothers do have their issues to deal with on this hunt - I'm not going to say if it is going to hurt them or not because honestly I don't know. I haven't gotten that far yet. With everything else on my mind I don't plan that far ahead when I'm writing these days. As for the end you'll find out what's going on with Jenni in this next chapter. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the review.
Reviewer: Primrose (Signed) · Date: 07/08/09 02:27 PM · On: Chapter 5
Yeah, something definitely isn't right with Sam, I'm worried about him. The mystery thickens for Jenni too. I have a suspicion.... Seriously, if you're also in Riverton, I believe it's a moral imperative that we meet. I sent you a message via this website. Let's see if we Riverton girls can hook up before you turn into an Eagle Mountain girl!
Author's Response: Well you can find out if your suspicion was right in this next chapter. Still trying to figure out Sam in season four so I hope I do him justice in this next chapter. And hey - even though I'll be an Eagle Mountain girl - we fans can still stick together. :)
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 06/08/09 04:17 PM · On: Chapter 5
Wonder what Dean's found in the wastebasket, I understand a little better now why Sam lashed out at Jenni, he's a very different Sam now, much darker but still protecting his brother, great chapter i enjoyed it. Sorry to hear you are having a tough time, i hope things get better, your fiance sounds really lovely.
Author's Response: You'll find out what Dean found in the waste basket in this next chapter I promise. And yeah, even though Sam was rash and harsh he wasn't lashing out to hurt Jenni on purpose. His fears of loosing his brother are coming to the surface. Hope you enjoy the next one. Thanks for the review.
Reviewer: whitetiger4life (Signed) · Date: 06/08/09 11:28 AM · On: Chapter 3
I like how Chris mysteriously has Dean's eyes, likes Dean better than Sam and how even the dog likes him better! It makes you think...
Author's Response: Actually Chris' roots run back to both his parents - but Sam is seeing his own fears of loosing his brother again, even to something as wonderful as Dean having a son. I'm planning on diving deeper into this the further I get into the story, but just haven't found the right spot to put it into yet. As for Ranger's attachement to Dean - I'm afraid I'm not going to tell you anything about it yet - and I have my reasons for that. Hope you continue to enjoy it and thanks so much for taking the time to review - I appreciate it.
Reviewer: whitetiger4life (Signed) · Date: 06/08/09 11:07 AM · On: Chapter 2
cool. awesome. wow. awesome brotherly relationship there! :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you think the brotherly bond is going well in this story so far - it is one of the main things I've struggled with since their bond was so different in the fourth season.
Reviewer: whitetiger4life (Signed) · Date: 06/08/09 10:30 AM · On: Chapter 1
ok I haven't read your story: Colors. so i don't know who Jenni is. either she was a victim of an attack or she was someone like Bela... hmmmmm?
Author's Response: Jenni, as I'm sure you've guessed by now is a nurse that helped the brothers out in Arkansas. Sam and Dean had a run in with a harpy and some problems at the hospital. Jenni helped get them out and took care of the brothers while Sam recovered from a serious eye injury and helped Dean learn to cope with Sam's temporary blindness.

Author's Response: I'm glad that you enjoyed the prologue and decided to give this story a chance - hope you continue to enjoy it - even if updates take me a while to get posted.
Reviewer: bia1007 (Signed) · Date: 13/07/09 01:29 PM · On: Chapter 4
For me the centrepiece in this chapter clearly was Sam confronting and then actually attacking Jenni and it won't leave me alone ever since; grand and disturbing scene but as you said I'm convinced Sam had his reasons and I think part of him acting like this resulted from his deep fear to lose Dean again, more precise his brother's love and to be alone again (as Dean so painfully remembered when he talked to Jenni, Sam's faith and innocence have been destroyed by the angels, "he'd seen the last bit of innocence in his brother snuffed out...", great moment) and I also think Sam was more than right when he told Jenni Dean doesn't need this (Chris being his child) to deal with, believe Dean couldn't even deal, not after everything he went through, so this is in fact a touching motive if you ask me! Hope Ranger's attachement to Dean has a special meaning and will help them later to fight the wolves, but we'll see. Thanks once more for a great chapter, I highly appreciate you find the time to write and share with us despite your busy schedule. Hope you have a great vacation with your mum, take care!
Author's Response: Sam's confronting Jenni was supposed to be the main center for the last chapter - I was building up to that climax because I knew how important that moment would be for future plots I have in store. I'm often surprised at how deep you read into the characters and why I have them react the way they do. I often go through my head, writing and rewriting what I want and why I want them that way. Taking down notes as I go along - getting an underlying feeling for why they do what they do. Your insight on Sam's reaction was spot on with what I have been working on. A large part of Sam's reaction is that he is afraid he is going to loose his brother again - or even just a small part of his brother's love and would be on his own again. Sam and Dean won't realize this for a little bit yet because it is such a deep fear rooted in Sam that he doesn't realize it for what it is. All he can see is what is barely scratching the surface - and Dean is so confused by everything that's going on that he isn't reading his brother as well as he normally does. I will get to that though so I commend you for your insight. You're right on Dean not being able to handle being a dad though. He wouldn't be able to deal with it - so there is no way that Chris is his. In fact Chris is a good mixture of both his parents - but with Sam's fear that something else will take his brother away from him all he can see in Chris is Dean. As for Ranger's attachment to Dean - I'm not giving anything away with that until later. Thanks as always for being patient with me and for taking the time to review. I'm doing my best to work on the next chapter, but I've been really out of whack since this weekend, spending most of my time in my fiance's arms crying while he's trying to keep me together. So I haven't been in much shape to write, but I'm slowly getting myself back together so I'll try and get the next chapter posted within the next couple of weeks. Thanks again for taking the time to review.

A brilliant chapter, i must admit i was a bit shocked at the way Sam manhandled Jenni,looking forward to finding out why.
Author's Response: I know Sam's reaction seemed extreme but he had his reasons for it, which I explain. I've found his character harder to get a hold of now that I'm dealing with him in the fourth season. He was so much darker in this season. I just hope I don't go too out of character for him. But Jenni has her reasons for keeping it from Dean as well - so that'll be reavealed, and bits more of future plots to come. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks as always for taking the time to review.

Hi there, great update again! I really appreciate that you try to update when you can. Good luck with all your plans!
Author's Response: Thank you for that - I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. I try hard to work on the updates when I can, but I've found it really hard to do so this past week especially. I'm trying to piece myself back together after a really hard weekend, but my fiance is helping me get back on track so hopefully I can get the next chapter posted within the next couple of weeks. Thanks as always for taking the time to leave a review.
Reviewer: Primrose (Signed) · Date: 10/07/09 07:15 PM · On: Chapter 4
Ah ha! Jenni's move to Tooele all explained. I'm worried about Sam's reaction- it wasn't good. I'm also surprised about how Jenni just kind of took it and didn't say anything to Dean about it. And then there's Chris! Is Jenni telling the truth?!? AHH! The pressure! Are your parents also from Utah? I'm in Riverton myself. I hope wedding plans are going well. I know it's crazy. Don't worry about the story, I'm pretty sure we can all take care of ourselves and wait patiently, or at least pretend to until you come back :)
Author's Response: I know Sam's reaction seemed extreme - but he has his reasons for it, which I get into further detail on in this chapter. And Jenni had her reasons for not saying anything to Dean about it - which I also explain in this chapter. And about Chris - yes Jenni is telling the truth. Chris is not Dean's son. He might look similar to him, from Sam's point of view anyway, but in all reality he's a good mixture of both his parents. But I couldn't put Dean through being a dad - especially with all he had to deal with in the fourth season. Yes actually - my parents are from Utah. Well technically my mom was born in California but she's lived in Utah all her adult life. We actually live in Riverton too! Well I do for now but Mike and I are looking at houses down in Eagle Mountain. But we've lived here in Riverton for about nine years now. I think that's really cool that you're from Riverton as well - most people when you tell them Riverton have no clue where that is. I'm working on the next chapter as much as I can, but after the emotional roller coaster this week has been where I've been in tears and my poor fiance has had to pick up the pieces I haven't really been in much of a mood to write. I'll do my best to get it posted within the next couple of weeks though. Thanks as always for sticking with me and for taking the time to review.

Always enjoy the lighter chapters you give us in between to catch our breath, this here was an especially lovely one, starting with the description of Jenni's home (and it is a real home, you can feel it), then little Chris and Ranger appearing and really they are gorgeous, the scenes with the boys and those two were heart warming, wonderful atmosphere! Loved how Ranger fell for Dean, I do believe animals can sense a good person, touching sight, also Sam calming Chris with the water running (that was the one thing that worked each time when my nephew cried, brought some memories back!). Still, even in this chapter was much cause for concern, Sam is totally exhausted and Dean not at all recovered from his injuries, so I fear for both; Sam is trying so hard to keep his walls up but at the same time missing so much "being his brother's flank man, being Sammy" and that's what Dean misses too I think. Okay, deep breath and I try to prepare for what's ahead. Good to hear your wedding preparations are going fine, the photographer is an important element here; hope it's still fun!!
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the bit of a breather in the last chapter. I've had a lot of fun dreaming up Jenni's home, and of course her son and Ranger. I'm glad you are enjoying them. Ranger definitely has a soft spot for Dean and that'll be revealed later on to why he took to him so quickly, and why he doesn't like Sam. Just haven't gotten there yet. I'm glad you liked the running water bit too - I heard that it does help, but since I don't have children of my own yet - or nephews or nieces I don't know too much about taking care of them, so a lot of what comes in the future is guess work. The brothers definitely have their issues, and a storm is brewing just below the surface for Sam, but that doesn't mean it will stay that way. Things are going to get ugly. Hope you enjoy it. Wedding plans, real life, and trying to plan my last vacation with my mom are keeping me real busy at the moment so I don't have a lot of timefor fun. I'm just at the point where I wish it was over. I have a feeling that things aren't going to ease up anytime soon. But thanks - I try to get what little enjoyment I can out of everything. Thanks as always for reading and reviewing. Makes it all worth while.

This was a lovely chapter, a nice calm one, but i'm thinking that maybe it's the calm before the storm.

I've been to Tooele many times- my brother-in-law and his family used to live there for many years. You've got it pretty close- there is one main street, but the last time I was there, Tooele was growing fast because housing was cheaper out there. They have a Walmart, which is pretty much the cornerstone of civilization, so it's can't be THAT tiny, right? HAVING been there, my first thought on seeing Jenni again was, "WHAT is she doing in TOOELE?!?" I can't imagine why she'd want to move there :) In all seriousness, you've got the start of a fun story, and I'm very partial to the setting. I liked seeing Jenni again, and I like how she's gone on with her life. It will be fun to see where this goes. In the meantime, congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Busy times! Don't move to Tooele, though, even if housing is cheap there.
Author's Response: Thanks - I appreciate that. I've actually been to Tooele too - my grandparents have lived out there all my life and for four months of this year I moved in with them. I moved back in with my parents when I got engaged so I could plan my wedding but I moved out there to get my blood pressure under control and to get away from all the stress here at the house. And you're right the Wal-Mart is the cornerstone of civilization, especially out there but it is still a really small town. You can travel through it in less than ten minutes. As for what is Jenni doing in Tooele - you'll find out more about that in this chapter. I actually really enjoy small quiet towns where the community looks out for each other - and Jenni has her reasons for wanting to stay. Which will be revealed later as well. I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far, I hope you continue to enjoy it - even though with all the craziness of planning a wedding I don't have much time to sit down and write, but I appreciate your willingness to read and review - it means a lot and makes it worth while. Thanks again.

Can't tell how much I enjoyed the fact Jenni married Greg (so wished for this since Colors, extra thanks here!) and they have a baby, she really deserves to be happy. Also I think it will prove to be a blessing for all that Dean and Sam are staying with Jenni and her family - Jenni as aid especially for Dean and the guys as protection for the family, it's gonna be nasty with the werwolfes having puppies and being a seal, scary prospect! Just hope Dean will tell Sam everything about his fever vision and they will fight this toghether; Sam looking for the werewolfes alone very easily could have ended tragic and I have the feeling Cas was inducing Dean's fever at this point of time for more than one reason, glad it brought Sam back unharmed (and a sweet and touching detail Dean was even in sleep aware his brother wasn't at his side). Wonderful story! About the updates, again no worries, I do remember very well my sister's wedding preparations a few years ago and it was a very busy and crazy but also special and fun time, so enjoy this as much as you can, we will wait!
Author's Response: I'm glad that you are happy about Jenni's marriage. I had made plans with her before I had even finished Colors, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Dean will tell Sam about the seal soon, not in this chapter, but later on when the brothers start to discuss the hunt again. And thanks again for you patience with the whole delay in chapters thing. We are hoping things will slow down now that we've got the photographer and reception center booked. We feel like we've finally made a dent in our to-do-list. Not that we don't have a million things to do still, but we aren't as stressed anymore. Thanks for the review!
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 28/05/09 04:44 AM · On: Chapter 2
Great chapter, the werewolfs have pups and it's one of the seal's, looks like they are going to take some stopping.
Author's Response: Still working on details for the wolf werewolves thing, but yep - figured it could be one of the seals. The brothers will have their work cut out for them on this one. Thanks for the review!

Your life sure sounds busy but in the nicest way, hope you will have a wonderful engagement party!!! No worries about the updates, we'll wait! Grand chapter in so many respects, from their arrival at the motel where Dean choose the bed furthest to the door (when I noticed this for the first time at the show I really felt like crying), so sad he gave up this integral part of protecting Sam, then the hunt that was so much more dangerous than expected and nearly fatal for Dean, right up to Sam's desperate wait at the clinic, which is my favorite scene, cause it showed so clearly Sam's love and fear for Dean, he just can't bear to lose his brother again (that's Sam's motive, "Dean was alive...It was different this time - he'd make sure that it would stay that way"), intense and very touching! Delighted to see Jenni again, great girl! See you next time!
Author's Response: Yeah, I was hoping after the engagement dinner and getting the rings things might slow down a little since the wedding isn't until November. But that isn't the case. That's ok though - part of getting married. I'm glad you enjoyed chapter one. I felt really sad when I saw Dean had started sleeping in the bed furthest from the door as well, it has always been a trademark signature of his. But Hell really changed him a lot - and even though it is just a small thing it made a huge impact on me as well. And for Sam to see Dean all torn up again, I know it had to be a huge impact on him. It wasn't that long ago that he had to take his brother's broken body and bury it, so after just getting his brother back and having him all torn up again must have really done a number on him as well. So I'm glad you enjoyed both of those parts. Hope you enjoy the next one. Thanks for the review.

That's Winchester's bad luck, first night out in the woods and Dean has been attacked. What a relief Dean'll be alright and Jenni is back, that's cool. I'm looking forward to more. A wedding, I'm so happy for you Candace, congratulations.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you enjoyed chapter one, even though it was true to form with the Winchester luck. Poor Dean seems to get the worst of it doesn't he. Unfortunately I needed it to be that way in order for things to work out properly. Jenni still has a bit more story to tell before I put her away. So hope you continue to enjoy it.

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, and you'll find out more about the werewolves as I go into further details with them. Although there is a little snippet with them in this chapter as well. Glad you're happy to see Jenni back - she has a little more story to tell before I put her away for good. Hope you enjoy the next one. Thanks for the review.
