Prologue

Sam and Dean stop by Aurora's to help celebrate her birthday. They meet many of her family and rescue her from a over zealous stalker. They get word of a hunt and Aurora tags alone. Aurora meets Castiel for the first time and has some mixed feelings about him. She learns more about her newfound abilities and help trapped spirits make their way home. The brothers head for Bobby's with a promise to keep in touch and visit when close.

Chapter 1

Over the next four months Aurora worked closely with her aunt on honing her skills and trying to keep up with her busy brothers. She kept in close contact with Sam to be sure he was doing ok and he kept her updated on the hunts they got involved in.

She couldn't believe they got sent to an alternate dimension by Balthazar, to protect a key to the weapons of Heaven he had stolen. Their lives was a television program called Supernatural and they were actors on the show. Aurora fell in the floor laughing when Sam described them trying to act. Neither of them could remember their lines and the director didn't really like it when they changed the script to ad-libbing. At least they were able to get back in one piece with only a few bruises. Castiel was able to get the weapons of Heaven for his angel war with Raphael.

Dean enlightened her with the events of going back in time to Sunrise, Wyoming to the year 1861 to track down and kill a phoenix for its ashes. The phoenix had taken human form, Elias Finch. They needed the ashes of a phoenix to stop the Mother of All Monsters, Eve. She knew Dean loved westerns and probably had a ball. Sam met Samuel Colt and got the supernatural gun for Dean to use against the phoenix. Finch told Dean the deputy tried to rape Finch's wife and then shot them both. When Finch didn't die, the sheriff and judge framed him for the death of his wife and hung him. Finch set both the judge and sheriff on fire for revenge and shot the deputy. Dean was sworn in as sheriff and had a showdown at high noon with Finch. Dean used the colt to kill the phoenix, but before he could gather the ashes, Castiel brought them back. Sam made an impression on Samuel Colt because he send them a couriered package with a bottle of phoenix ash and Sam's dead cell phone. Sam sent her a couple of pictures of Dean in his western attire that she couldn't wait to tease him about poncho that looked like a blanket.

There were some hunts that the brothers wouldn't tell Aurora about. Like the one where their grandfather, Samuel Campbell, was killed by Sam because he was possessed by a 'worm-thing'. It possessed Bobby and made him kill a fellow hunter and friend, Rufus or the one where they finally found Eve and killed her. Some were just too bloody and violent to share.

Aurora heard her cell ringing and headed for the kitchen to find it. She glanced at the id and saw Sam's name.

"Hey big brother, how's it hanging?" she chirped.

"Oree, I'm good, we're going to be down your way tomorrow, want some company?"

Sam held his phone away from his ear as Aurora's squeal echoed thru his phone and into the interior of the Impala.

"Yes, yes, what time?" she finally got out.

"Dean says probably after lunch, if that changes, I'll call you."

"Ask Dean what kind of pie does he want?"

She could hear a mumbled conversation and a loud cherry being yelled.

"Did you get that?" Sam asked.

"Yes, cherry it is, do you have any requests?" she inquired, not wanting to leave Sam out.

"I do like those oatmeal-raisin cookies your aunt baked."

"I just happen to have the recipe, cookies it is. Be careful."

"We will." he assured her.

"Come on Ellie, we need to clean and put sheets on the beds, company's coming." she called to her happily.

Dean pulled up the driveway and parked beside the house. He looked around expecting to see Oree ready to tackle him before he was out of the car. Everything was quiet, almost too quiet for his taste.

"Did you call her to let her know we'd be early?"

"Left a message." Sam said looking around.

"See her?" Dean asked waiting for the attack that didn't come.

"No, and no sign of Ellie either." Sam answered heading for the cabin door. He knocked and waited for an answer.

Dean tensed and looked at Sam when no one came to the door. Sam pulled out his cell and dialed her cell. They listened as they heard a phone ringing in the house. Dean pulled his gun; Sam his lock pick kit and opened the door quickly. He stepped back as Dean entered the house and quickly checked for any threats.

"Anything?"

"No, clear. I don't see anything out-of-place."

Both turned as they heard a vehicle pulling up outside.

"Guys, you're early." Oree cried as they stepped outside on the porch. She grabbed them both in a tight hug before going back to the car and getting bags of food.

Sam and Dean just stood there a minute before putting their guns away and helping.

"I thought I could get back before you guys got here."

"I tried to call." Sam told her.

"Forgot my phone." she said innocently shrugging her shoulders.

"You had us sacred there for a minute kid." Dean grumbled sitting his bags on the kitchen counter.

"I'm sorry Dee." she apologized. "I've got your cherry pie cooling and Sam's oatmeal cookies waiting for him."

"Did I hear cookies?" Sam inquired looking around Dean.

"Yes, they're still warm too." she said taking a plate and putting some cookies on it for him. "I suppose you could force yourself to eat a piece of pie?"

"I could force myself." Dean agreed eyeing the pie as she cut a piece for him and pushed it his way.

"Ya know, you're my favorite sister." Dean sighed.

"Dee, I'm your only sister." she giggled slapping his arm. "So how are you two doing?"

"Ready for a short break." Dean comments as Oree notices how tired his face looks.

She looks over at Sam as he munches a cookie and sees the how tired he looked too. She was glad they stopped by, at least here they could wind down, relax and hopefully get some much-needed rest.

"So, would you like baked chicken or pork roast tonight for dinner?"

"Either will be fine sis, just having a home cooked meal will be a treat for us." Sam said in between bites of cookie.

"Chicken it is, well have the roast tomorrow night." she said sitting out a bag of frozen corn from the freezer. "I have fresh green beans to steam from my garden and tomatoes and cucumbers."

"Sounds good." Sam answered while Dean frowned slightly thinking it sounded more like rabbit food than the greasy food he was use to.

"I saw that look." Oree chastised Dean.

"What?' he asked with a look of surprise.

"It won't hurt you to eat healthier."

"Busted." Sam hissed under his breath.

"Bite me." he hissed back.

"Where's your shadow?"

"Ellie's out courting I think." Oree laughed. "She's never far away, but I think she might have a boyfriend."

About that time, Ellie scratched the door open and made a bee line for Sam. She knocked him out of his chair to get to him easier. Sam finally got her to calm down by offering her a bite of cookie, minus any raisins, of course. Dean and Oree laughed at Sam trying to free himself from Ellie's paws.

"I swear I don't know why she does that to you." Oree commented after making Ellie let Sam up.

"You're just so loveable." Dean smirked finishing his pie.

Ellie looked up now realizing the other brother was nearby. She zeroed in on him and stalked toward him. Dean saw her coming and backed away from her.

"Oh no! Don't even think about it. I do have a gun." he cautioned holding his hands in front of him to stop her from attaching.

Ellie cocked her head and watched him for a few seconds before planting her front paws on his chest and giving him a big wolf kiss. Dean groaned in disgust and pushed her away as he wiped the drool from his face. Oree and Sam looked at each other and started to laugh.

"Funny." Dean growled turning on the water for the sink and washing his face.

"Ellie, enough, go on now." Oree giggled shooing her out of the room. "I got us a good movie to watch tonight after dinner."

"Not one of your horror flicks is it?" Dean asked cautiously.

"No, Fast and Furious Six. I think you might like it, has some fast cars in it."

"So there are five other ones?"

"Yes and I have them all, we can always start at the beginning." she hinted arching an eyebrow.

"I don't think so." he said pushing away from the cabinet. "Come on pup, let's get our bags."

Sam rolled his eyes at Dean, but followed him to the car to grab his bags. They headed to their bedrooms and deposited their bags before seeking Oree out. They sat with her in the kitchen catching up as she finished making dinner.

"Oree, you've done it again, that was outstanding." Dean complimented pushing his chair back from the table and patting his stomach.

"Why thanks Dee." Oree purred.

"It was very good." Sam added wiping his mouth and laying his napkin in his plate.

"Go get settled on the couch and I'll be in to start the movie in a sec." she said as she began to clear the dishes.

"Let me help." Sam offered. "You did do all the work cooking."

"Sammy's right." Dean agreed picking up bowls and taking them to the kitchen.

"Alright, you guys clear and I'll put up and load the dishwasher." she nodded.

Working together, they had everything cleaned and put away in no time.

"Go on get settled, I'm going to make you guys a cup of my special tea." Oree told them pushing both toward the family room.

"I don't drink hot..." Dean started.

"Don't bother, she'll won't take no for an answer." Sam mumbled to his brother as they headed for the family room.

Oree busied herself with grinding herbs and boiling water for hot tea. She added a spoon of honey to each cup and waited for the tea to steep before pouring some in each cup. She added an ice-cube to cool the tea and carried it to the family room.

"Be careful, it's hot." she said handing each a cup.

Dean and Sam accepted the cups from Oree. Sam blew on his and tried a small sip. Dean smelled the tea and wrinkled his nose not sure he wanted to try it. Sam mouthed, try it and Dean frowned at him. Sam gave him a b*tch face before Oree wiggled between them.

"It won't kill you Dee, try it." she said without looking at him.

"Really, I don't..."

"For me." she whispered giving him her best little sister face and puppy dog eyes.

It got him every time. He couldn't resist his little sister's charms. Sam sipped his tea as he smirked. Little sister had caught on fast on how to wrap Dean around her little finger.

"Fine." he grumbled taking a sip. He was surprised, it wasn't that bad, sort of weird tasting, but he could deal with it.

Halfway through the movie, Oree noticed both her brothers had gone to sleep. Dean was snoring softly and Sam was drooling slightly. She smiled and placed a hand on Sam's arm and let her mind float out slowly, seeking that bond, following that thread. She pushed at the dark and forced it back into the box, closing the lid tight. She felt Sam relax more and gently pulled out of his mind.

Placing a hand on Dean's arm, she searched for the connection, she knew it was there, just not as prominent as Sam's was. Finally finding it, she glided through, stopping the bad dreams from surfacing, allowing good memories to take over. She was careful about keeping herself out of his delta dreams so he wouldn't know she was there. She followed the thread back out and smiled to herself. Her brothers meant the world to her and she was so glad they wanted to be in her life, that they were her family now. She snuggled down between them and finished watching the movie.

"Go to bed." Oree urged her brothers as the movie ended.

"Ok." Sam mumbled wiping the drool from his chin as he stumbled toward his bedroom.

"You too, big brother." she said shaking Dean enough to wake him. "Bed."

"I'm goin'" he grunted following Sam down the hall.

"Sweet dreams both of you." she called quietly.
