Inhaling and releasing a breath slowly, Jo tried desperately to regain her composure. Her next words were slow, quiet, but clear, “A church, corner of Tenth and Jefferson, Valentine, Nebraska.”

Awesome. So well drawn - she's scared, but she's still a hunter.

Now there was nothing for her to do but pray they got to her in time, and if they didn’t, she would at least go down knowing she’d rescued the five kidnapped children this demon had been holding. She had done the right thing, even if it did cost her, her life.

I love this image. It's gotta be a situation every hunter faces into at least once.

And I love the end, and the implication that Jo maybe knows that if this hunt ends her, it wasn't necessarily the Tengu that did it. But she still made the call.

And of course, the chance that, with a lot of luck and skill, Jo might just manage to evade the Tengu long enough for it to make a difference.

This is a great piece - tense, but so stoic. I'm meming it, thank you so much - it's exactly perfect for it's prompt.

I'm so relieved you like it! I always liked Jo, but felt that she *thought* she knew more about hunting than she actually did and would eventually get herself into a bad situation.

she's scared, but she's still a hunter.

Exactly! She may be naive about certain things but she's got a lot of moxy! I think she'd put up a good front until the end! And who knows, maybe she learned a thing or two from the Winchester boys!

Thank you for such great feedback! I'm really glad you liked it and I'm always super appreciative when people take the time to comment and let me know their thoughts!

This was such an enjoyable read! I loved the bits of detail you added to the piece; Sam always being the one to take notes as Dean would talk to their Dad, Jo knowing she needed help, her covering her cell phone as the demon stalked by.

I loved that last paragraph, so potent and an excellent way to pull in Gordon without having to go into a blurb about it.

Two thumbs up!

[stars91]

Thank you soo much! I'm glad you liked it, and I really appreciate the great feedback!

*smooches*

Yay! I love that Jo isn't a complete flake here. It sits well with me. Nicely done! And poor Sam and Dean too! In my mind, they make it in time, because those boys have already lost too many friends of late.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

I liked Jo on the show, probably more of a younger sister figure, and not so much of a significant other for either brother, but I still liked her. I thought she was somewhat naive, but could still hold her own and that's how I tried to portray her here.

I'd like to think they make it time to save her too. Who knows, maybe in another drabble down the road we'll find out what happens!

[starrylizard]

Yeah, that was how I saw her too, plus she was only just getting interesting when she stopped appearing in the show. You know, getting a little more depth.

Who knows, maybe in another drabble down the road we'll find out what happens!

Who knows, indeed... but it'd be awesome! :)

I would love to see it, if you do write it. :D

Your Jo is very believable - smart, but not always wise. A little reckless, like Dean, a little too headstrong, like Sam - but a clever and brave and a good person.

Even if, when you (if you) write it, she doesn't make it, I would love to see some other Jo-centric hunts that did go well, you know, before this.

[stars91]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

[ex_egorstan]

Wow! That was tense!

And that the guys might have to take care of Jo, like they took care of Gordon - wow.

Thanks for sharing.
