Dean comes to terms that John sacrificed himself for exchange of his life, and Sam realizes that his destiny will soon await him.

Set 5 months after Johns Death.

Chapter One

Ottawa, Kansas

The back seat is always cramping, but Lisa was used to it. She laid her feet across the back and rested her head against the window. She closed her eyes and closed her brothers out once again.

"She's sleeping again?" Sam asked. Dean looked in the rear-view mirror and noticed his sister sleeping against the window, with her Ipod blasting through the earphones.

"Yep." Dean answered, bringing his eyes back on the road.

Sam exhaled and Dean scuffed at him. "What?" Dean asked.

"Dean, I'm worried about her. She doesn't talk to us, she's been through something and she's holding it in, it's going to eat her and kill her. We have to talk to her." Sam said, looking at Dean.

"Think about what she's been through, Sam. She woke up from a coma to find out Dad's dead. She won't just snap out of it like we did." He noted.

Sam looked out the window and knew what he meant. He was in pain, but he was taking it a lot easier than Lisa. They were around death all the time, but not Lisa. She's only been hunting for a year, yet it never gets easier to lose the one's you really love.

Sam looked back at his sleeping sister and wondered.

"Do you think the demon could still be controlling her dreams?"

Dean hid his fear and just assured Sam

"I don't think so, but I can't rule it out."

After four more hours of driving, they parked at an off-highway motel. Once the car had stopped, Lisa woke up and took the ear phones out and collected her bag and left the car.

"You feel okay? You were asleep for a while."

Lisa knew she couldn't tell them the truth. A Winchester was always strong no matter what. She knew she shouldn't cry any more about her father, her brothers stopped.

"Yea, just after everything with the demon I'd like to catch up on my sleeping schedule." She said. Little white lies never did any wrong…until they're exposed.

Sam just nodded and they moved into the room with Dean.

The three laid their bags on their beds and Sam called the shower first. He collected his clothes and went inside the bathroom.

Dean waited by laying on one of the beds, watching yet another infomercial as Lisa Played around with Sam's laptop, playing solitaire as if it was the only game on the computer. She paused the game and turned to Dean, knowing she could try to talk to him.

"Hey Dean?" she asked turning her chair to view him.

"What?" he replied with a tone like we wasn't paying attention as he kept his eyes on the TV.

"Do you mi..." Lisa looked at him, knowing he was distracted.

Do you miss Dad?

Dean could see the look of disappointment in her face.

"What is it Lis?" he asked sitting up, getting ready to listen.

Do you miss dad? She wanted to ask.

"Do you mi…Mind turning the volume down?" she asked, turning back to the computer and continuing her game.

At that moment Sam left the bathroom fully dressed and Dean jumped ahead.

Lisa left the computer on and to her bag. Sam immediately jumped on the computer. Lisa removed a black pair of sweats and a baggy t-shirt.

"Sam, keep your eyes on that screen. I'm gonna change." She said as she removed her shirt.

"No problem, I'm catching up on our latest case."

Sam looked at the computer, scrolling down page after page of articles.

Lisa just finished changing as she leaned over Sam's shoulder.

'Over the course of one month, five residents in Ottawa County were found dead in their beds. All in the same apartment complex, the building has been searched for carbon monoxide, and other leaks to come up with the reasons of death. The Department of Health gave the building the okay to allow residence back into the building, but the case is far from closed as crime-scene investigators continue to collect evidence of what could have caused the deaths of the five residence.'

"This does sound like one of our jobs. Any ideas of what could be doing this?" Lisa asked as she moved to her bed and climbed under the covers.

"Still too early to conclude, but I have my theories. We'll know more tomorrow." Sam said as he turned off his computer and walked over to the opposite bed.

Lisa put on of her hands under her pillow and the other just above the top of the pillow next her face. She closed her eyes and caught flashbacks that still haunt her.

Flashback

'Lis, listen to your brothers while I'm gone' John said to his little four yr old daughter.

She nodded and frowned at him. He saw the fear in her eyes and knelt down to embrace her.

"I'll be fine sweetheart. I'll be back tomorrow night" he said.

John saw the tears forming in Lisa's eyes and brushed one away as it just slipped down her cheek.

"Winchesters don't cry. We're strong, now go inside. Pastor Jim is waiting." He said and gave her little push through the door.

" I Love you Daddy." She said as she watched him walk to the impala and drove off into the sunset.

Lisa woke up and the time was a little after five. She knew her brothers would still be sleeping a while so she grabbed a change of clothes and moved into the bathroom.

The hot water felt good through her hair, down her back. She took several deep breaths to try to forget the memories passing through her.

Flashback

'Focus Lis. Hold the gun with both hands and keep both eyes open. Find your target and fire.' John ordered as he watched Lisa ,now age nine, fire the gun again and missing the thin bottle. He sighed and shook his head.

' I just can't do it, dad. It's too hard.' Lisa complained.

'Don't give me that, your brothers learned and so will you. Try again' he forced again.

She raised the gun and fired again and…

She was back in the shower and back to reality. She sank to the shower floor and turned the water from warm to cold. She had to shake it off, literally. She was not going to cry again. She felt her eyes begin to swell with tears and she told herself.

"No, don't cry. You're a Winchester. What good are you if you cry."

She rocked back and forth trying to calm herself. Trying to think of a happier memory.

Flashback

'Happy Birthday Lisa.' Missouri said, kissing her forehead. Today she turned sixteen.

'Thank you Missouri. This is wonderful' She complimented as she saw a lot of food Missouri cooked were all her favorites.

'This came from your father. He didn't forget this year.' Missouri said and handed her an envelope.

She pulled out the letter first and read it.

Happy Birthday sweetheart. This was your mothers, she made it while she was pregnant with you. She asked if anything were to happen to her to give this to you on your sixteenth birthday. Today is your birthday and here is your present.

I Love you and Miss you everyday. Dad

Lisa tipped the envelope over and poured a silver locket with a green emerald in the front. Inside were a picture of Dean and Sam as Children on one side and the other was a Picture of John and Mary. Mary's belly swollen with the growing child inside her.

Coming back to reality, she turned off the shower and dressed quickly.

She walked out and noticed Sam was awake. She walked to her bag and pulled out the silver locket and placed it around her neck. She opened the locket and say the pictures were still in tact. She allowed silent tears to fall and Sam noticed.

"Lis what's wrong?" Sam asked. So much concern was in his voice.

"Nothing… just…" She said, trying to keep calm to not wake Dean.

"Talk to me. What is it?" he asked.

I can finally tell him.

"I miss him Sam." She said and as if she was free, a soft sob escaped her mouth and she was quick to cover her mouth in shame. She felt his harms embrace her and rub circles on her back.

"I miss him too." Sam said, letting just one tear fall for her.
