Shane Winchester, formerly Shane Parker, has not an easy run at things. When she was young, her entire family was murdered by her demon-possessed father, who then killed himself. Many years later,, that same demon that killed her family came back to try to kill Shane, who at the time was living in an orphanage, marred with the reputation of a mentally unstable child. And although she was rescued by the Winchester brothers, another demon manifested itself and possessed Shane for four years, leaving her as nothing more than a shell of a person. But after freeing herself from said demon, Shane discovered that she isn't even human, rather a creature who's sole purpose and desire is to find demons and kill them in the most grotesque way possible. Shane's hopes of finally getting her life back and gaining some stability are dashed to pieces as she now finds herself chased by the only friends she had left in the world, Sam and Dean. She has fallen victim to the notorious cliche: "the hunter has become the hunted." Terrified and accompanied only by the Trickster, Shane continues running from her seemingly imminent demise, and attempts to find a way to reverse the terrible transformation she is undergoing. Although she tired to keep her wits about her, one question still plagues her mind:
"How am I ever going to survive this?"

Nevaeh Gerard killed her mother. She's the reason her mother is dead. And her father always made sure she knew it. Always reminded her of it.
Which is why she was relieved when her father went missing 5 years ago. She'd finally be able to quit hunting for good, live her normal, apple pie life with her perfect boyfriend, and go to college, just like she'd dreamed of since a little girl. Just like her big brother encouraged her to. His life was ruined because of hunting, but her life doesn't have to.
But that Ill-fated dream is squashed when her brother stops returning her phone calls, and 1 week later, Dean Winchester, a childhood friend who she hasn't seen for 6 years, breaks into her apartment and tells her that the disappearance of her brother and both their fathers is all somehow connected to her. Now, she's sucked right back into the life she so desperately fought to get out of.
