Alex Winchester stared in annoyance at her older brother her father had just left. She'd handled them forgetting her school show, her Christmas but It was her twenty second birthday and they'd forgotten. Well Sam had called earlier that morning but Dean and her dad had completely forgotten. She let out a frustrated sigh and watched as her brother looked up at her and grinned. "What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"Nothing" she grumbled slamming her bag shut

"Sorry I asked" mumbled Dean turning back to cleaning his gun.

"Can I ask you something? What's the date today?" she asked placing her hands on her hips

"The third of April, why?" he asked watching as she headed towards the door "Where do you think your going?"

"Out, it's my birthday" she yelled slamming the front door shut behind her. She grumbled quietly too herself and kept on walking further down the street. After about an hour she realized she was in the middle of a forest and let out a scream, punching the nearest tree next to her. She let out a yelp of pain and clutched her hand too her chest. It was then she realized that she had no idea where she was and also that she was unarmed. She was suddenly quiet and started too run back the way she came. Her hand was still throbbing and it was getting dark. She was trying to hold back the tears that were trying to force themselves out through her eyes. "DEAN!" she yelled falling back against a tree as she tripped. She fell to the floor and brought her knees to her chest. Suddenly she felt a presence near her. Her head snapped round too look at the dark haired man who was wearing a trench coat. "Who are you?" she asked sniffling slightly getting to her feet getting ready to defend her self if needed.

"I am Castiel and I am an angel of the lord" she let out a giggle and dropped her hand from her chest

"Ok you might be a little bit drunk" she laughed again crossing her arms across her chest.

"But I am" his face looked confused making her giggle again.

"Do you know how to get out of here then?" he nodded and touched her arm. She closed her eyes wincing slightly as a pain shot through her head. When she opened her eyes again she was outside her motel room. She looked round in shock at Castiel and started to back away. "How did you do that?"

"I told you I am an angel of the lord" Castiel looked even more confused than before.

"But their not real!" she whimpered slightly as he appeared in front of her. Suddenly there was a strike of lightening and she saw the shadow of two large wings against the wall. She let out a scream and ran to the motel room door and banged her fists against it "DEAN OPEN THE DOOR!" then the door was thrown open in front of her she fell into Dean's arm and looked round only to see Castiel was gone.

"What is it? What happened? Are you alright?" Dean pulled her into the motel room and kicked the door shut. She didn't reply she simply pulled him into a hug and tried to control her shaking body. "Alex what happened?" he asked after two minutes, pulling away.

"I-I d-d-don't r-re-ea-really k-n-know" she clung to him as she tried to stop the tears from falling. Until now nothing had ever scared her, no ghosts, or demons or mosters nothing. But this, angels and they wanted her? Now that scared her. Terrified her even.

"Just try to explain what you can" he sat her down and handed her a drink of water. She took a sip and then placed it on the table.

"Well I was in the woods and uh I tripped and then I stopped and sat down and then he was there, just looking at me, then he told me he was an angel and of course I thought he was drunk but then he just touched me-"

"He touched you?" Dean roared

"Not like that, he gripped my arm and I felt this pain and then I was here and then h-he um there was this lightening and the shadow…" she trailed off looking down at her feet.

"What?"

"His shadow had wings" she said finally looking up at him. His eyes became wide but then he pulled her into a hug and finally the tears came making her hide her eyes in his t-shirt. She missed Sam, hell she even missed her dad right now. Because he'd do everything in his power to hunt the thing down because it had scared her. But he wasn't here he was away hunting the demon that had killed his wife, her, Dean's and Sam's mother when Alex and Sam were just a baby. Sam was her twin and when he left she lost half of herself. And she would never forgive him for walking out the door; sure he called her but only on special occasions. He had just told her he was going to law school.

"Don't worry sweetheart it won't get you, I'm here" Dean mumbled kissing his forehead.

"But it told me its name, it said it was called Castiel and it was an angel of the lord" she whimpered slightly when she remembered.

"Then it's lying" Dean said in voice so strong it made her shiver slightly. "Why don't you try to lie down?" he pulled back looking her in the eye "and I'll call dad"

"He'll probably think I'm just making it up though" she said looking down at her feet again

"Alex I'll make him believe and if not I'll go after the damn thing" she shivered again at the determination in his voice.

"Ok, I'll go lie down" she whispered in a small voice. He nodded and watched her as she grabbed her Pyjama's and hurried into the bathroom. She had left it open a crack obviously scared in case the thing came back. Angels? Dean sat down on a kitchen chair and picked up his mobile. He scrolled through his contacts and stopped at his fathers. He took a deep breath and pressed call. It rung four times and then someone picked up at the other end.

"Hello?" asked his fathers gruff tired voice.

"Dad its Dean"

"I kind of got that why are you calling?"

"Yeah of course but um something happened to Alex"

"What? Is she ok? Is she hurt?" Dean had never heard his father's voice so frantic

"Yeah she's ok, a little shaken up but fine"

"Well what the hell happened? Did the demon show up?"

"No but uh something else did" Dean kept and eye on the bathroom door waiting for Alex to come out

"What then?"

"Your not gonna believe me"

"Just say Dean"

"She said it was an angel" there was a few seconds of silence before his father let out a barking laugh. "Dad she's being serious, she was shivering and when has she ever been like that?"

"Angel's aren't real Dean"

"But dad come on the stuff we hunt aren't supposed to be real but they are what's so different about angels? I mean there are demons surely there are going to be counter parts of them"

"Dean, look angels do not exist. She's making it up; she's trying to be like Sam"

"Dad she's not pretending, and don't say she's like Sam, do you want me to go after the damn thing? Cause I will and I'll take her with me"

"Don't you dare, and she is trying to be like Sam, so don't tell me she's not or she's telling the truth cause she's just making shit up so shut the fuck up hang up this phone and if your bored look for a hunt nearby" and with that he hung up the phone. Dean let out a sigh and looked up to see Alex standing there with tears in her eyes.

"He doesn't believe me does he? He thinks I'm trying to be like Sam" she whispered in a voice that broke his heart.

"Sorry" he mumbled wrapping his arms around her in a hug and then she broke down the tears pouring from her eyes as she sobbed
