Chapter One
~Midnight-Some months ago at Bobby's.
Bobby's sitting at his desk reading a book when suddenly the lights started flickering and the ground shook, he reach for his shotgun. In front of the fire place the floor was engraved with a large strange symbol. Bobby looks at it confused, it burns bright and a blast went off from it sending Bobby to the ground. When he got up and walked into the room, the symbol was gone and in the middle of it is someone or something in a fetal position. Bobby points his gun at it. It was soaked in blood and it shakes as it unraveling itself up.
"Who are you," Bobby cried. It looked at Bobby with tears in its eyes. Bobby realizes it was a female from the face and body but unable to make out whom it is from all the blood. "Answer me, who and what are you."
"Bobby…" She sobbed, "It's me…"
In shock Bobby look at the strange person, now recognizing the voice of the female. She sat there naked trying to cover herself as much as she can. Bobby grabbed a coat nearby and draped it over her. Reaching for his flask in his pocket he poured the content onto her face. The Holy Water made no effect, she only smile weakly at him. He tries to wipe the blood from her face with his two hands and took a hard look at her face. He tries to find the words but couldn't, he held onto her face and tried to hold back his tears. He held her sobbing, stroking her hair that is stained with blood.
~Present ~
Dean and Sam Winchester are driving back to Bobby's after their last mission. Dean is speeding and looking somewhat mad and Sam is on the phone looking like he's trying to get in contact with someone with no luck.
"Nothing, he's not picking up."
"Damnit," Dean shouted.
"Let's hope he's okay," Sam said, "I'm sure he's okay. I mean its Bobby."
"Yeah, but now that all these damn demons are running around… who knows what could happen."
"Dean, chill out. We don't know that for sure."
"Yeah well…"Dean paused a moment to try and find an excuse. "He hasn't answer our call or his phone for four months already. Something is up."
"Maybe he's just taking a break…" Sam answers with a chuckle.
"Yeah, well….maybe."
They rode silently to Bobby's. Only to arrive at his place fully in tacked and an old broken 1969 Nova ss, with a pair of legs sticking out from under the car and some old classic rock tunes blasting in the background. Dean and Sam got out and began walking slowly towards the car when Bobby came out of the door, yelling.
"Damnit, will you turn that thing down a bit. I can't think in there." Bobby looks up to see Dean and Sam, "What are you boys doing here?"
"Uah… concern about your well being?" Question Sam.
"What?" Bobby asks as if he wasn't listening, he gives a sigh of relief that the person under the car did not notice them and then he tries to usher Dean and Sam inside the house. "Look, come inside." Dean looks at Bobby, he had a worry and concern look towards the person under the car. Almost as if he did not want them to find out whom it is.
"So ah… Who's that?" Dean asks curiously. Bobby gave Dean a look that made Dean lipped 'never mind'.
"What are you guys doing here?" Bobby asks again.
"We were worried, we haven't heard from you for three months now." Sam said.
"Four." Dean corrects him.
There was a moment of silent, Bobby was trying to recollect his thoughts to explain but could not.
"Four months now. What's going on Bobby? What have you've been doing these pass months that you don't even bother to call?" Dean said nearly shouting at Bobby. Bobby sigh, grab a beer and sits himself down.
"Look boys, this is none of your concern. It's my own problem and I'll deal with it."
"Well, what is it?" Dean demands. "Maybe we could help. Oh come on Bobby; let us help just this once."
"Actually, maybe you could help Dean."
"Me?"
"Yeah, you."
"Alright so who do you need me to take care of," Dean said sarcastically with a big smile. Sam rolled his eyes at Dean.
"You're right, I do need you to take care of someone for me but I don't mean that kind of taking care of," Bobby said walking towards the door back outside.
"What?" Dean asks a bit confuse.
Dean and Sam follow Bobby back out towards the Nova ss where Bobby got the person from under the car to come out. In the background 'Foxy Lady' by Jimi Hendrix is playing and a girl greased up in engine oil rise from under. Dean's jaw dropped and looked at Sam.
"Is that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?" Dean asked him somewhat drooling.
"The girl?"
"No, the car" Dean answered sarcastically, "Of course the girl! Well, and the car too."
After Bobby and the mysteries women were done talking a bit they walked over to Dean and Sam. She smiles brightly at them, her violet eyes gleam in the sunlight as her black shoulder length hair rest dustily on her head.
"Boy's this is…"
"Avrei," she said quickly cutting Bobby off and sticking out her hand to shake both Dean and Sam.
"This is Dean and Sam Winchester, they're brothers."
"Oh, the Winchesters in the flesh. I've heard much about you two." She smiles, "Bobby I'm going to go wash up. Um… could you…please."
"Oh… yeah. I'll be right back, uh… get to know each other." He said uncomfortably. Then he ran up the stairs.
"So… Avrei, is it just Avrei or is there a last name to that," Dean asked.
"Just Avrei," she said plainly looking at Bobby's desk filling with papers and books. She picks up a bottle of whiskey and pours it into a glass.
"Isn't it too early to be drinking whiskey?" Sam asks.
"Free country and it's my life," She said. "Want me to get you anything?"
They shook their head and sat in the same room awkwardly. Bobby ran down the stairs and told Avrei that it's done and she retired the room. Bobby looks at Avrei as she ran up the stairs sorrowfully.
"So Bobby, what was that about," Sam asks. "And who is she?"
"Breaks my heart to see her like this," Bobby reply, nearly in tears. "Look, she's my goddaughter."
"What?" Dean shouted shockingly, "Well, how come we don't know about this,"
"You do, when you guys were young. Use to play together and your old man and her mother use to hunt together, a while back."
"Huh. Well, what's the deal with her now and what does this have to do with me?" Dean asks curiously.
"Well, remember how you went into the pit?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, you won't believe me if I told you this, but she was down there too and now she's back."
"That's a good thing right?" Sam asked smiling happily for Bobby, "I mean that's two people we've known who had been saved and dragged back to earth from Hell. Right?"
"Actually Sam, she wasn't saved." Bobby looks down.
"What do you mean?" Dean asks.
"Well, she left years ago to search for her baby brother James; I would only hear from her ever once in a while, phone calls to tell me she's okay. But after a while she disappeared, just vanished and that was a year ago. I look for her on my spare time to see where she might have gone but by the time I found out where she is…I was too late. I couldn't save her or help her."
"What happen?" Sam asks with sympathy.
"The pit, I don't know how she got down there but she founded a way and fought her way out too. Or so it seems…"
"What? Fought her way out?" Dean asks shockingly, "there's no way. How can a single human walk right into Hell and walk right out by herself."
"Dean," Bobby paused, "she's not fully human, she never was and nor is she a demon. I don't know what she is."
"Great, how am I supposed to help?"
"Just look after her and keep her out of trouble, I'm trying to help her but I'm coming up with Jake." Bobby shouted walking over to his desk. "Look stay for dinner, she's cooking and if you want to help me, you can stay the night and you could read all these books for me."
"Great…" Dean answered unpleased.
"Hey Bobby, what was that about upstairs," Sam ask.
"I have to draw her a bath," He reply, shuffling through his papers, "What?"
"You drew her a bath?" Dean repeated, confused and not believing what he just heard.
"She can't shower and she needs to bathe in holy water," With that they asked no more, seeing how uncomfortable Bobby is.
That night, everyone went to sleep. Deans wakes up from some wings fluttering loudly. He gets up and looks around and sees Castiel looking out the window in the kitchen.
"What are you doing here?" Dean whisper.
"Just wants to congratulate you for saving that family and stopping those demons" he said.
"Yeah well, thanks but seriously is that all you're here for or are there something else you want?" Deans said annoyingly. After a while Dean looks up at Castiel. "Look, let me ask you something. Can someone, say a human goes to Hell… can he or she possibly fight their way out?"
"No, it's impossible. Why?" Castiel ask, puzzled by this question "Do you know someone who has? Because if you do, I doubt that it's human."
"Heh, thanks," Dean answers. He looks up at Castiel who is no long looking at Dean but someone behind him. He turns around and see Avrei standing by the door way.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to grab a bite. I'll just come back when you guys are done."
"Nova…" Castiel said, almost in a whisper. Avrei turned around and looks at Castiel in shocked with fearful pleading eyes. Deans stood in the middle looking back at Avrei and Castiel, confused and wanted to break the silent but dare not to.
"I'm sorry," she painfully reply, eyes nearly in tears. Then she turns around and ran away. Castiel reached out his hand about to chase after her but stopped himself. Castiel looks down onto the floor, wounded.
"I know why you've ask me that question and in due time you will know the truth." He said dully. Then he disappeared.
