Chapter 1

1 year later

Kenzie kicked the tire of her 1975 ford bronco and shook her head. They were supposed to meet Dean and Sam at Bobby's the night before, but the car had broken down, and they were in a dead zone. It seemed nothing was going their way. The last mission had been a fail. The demon they had been tracking had gotten away with no trace. Three innocent people had died. Kenzie could feel her stomach doing flops. So many things about the case didn't make since to her. Teagan had urged her to call for Castile but she would not. Teagan didn't understand why. He may have some knowledge about the demon they were looking for. Kenzie flat out refused to ask for his help though. In fact she had been acting strangely for the last few months around him. It ticked Teagan off; still she couldn't force Zie to tell her what was up. Finally Teagan had got her to call Bobby who told them to come see him with all the information they had.

"Think they are getting worried?" Teagan finally asked.

Kenzie shrugged. "I dunno why?"

"Because we were supposed to meet them at 10 last night that was over 12 hours ago. I'm calling them."

Kenzie sighed and shrugged. "Fine whatever." She final said walking to the back of the ford bronco.

Teagan threw her hands up in the air. "What is your problem?"

Kenzie sighed. "First off how are you gonna call them when we have no cell service."

Teagan grunted shoving the phone back in her pocket. "Then call Cas."

"No!" Kenzie hissed sitting on the tail gate of the suv.

"You're an idiot!" Teagan hissed clasping her hands in front of her, and bowing her head.

Kenzie jumped off the truck and shoved Teagan. "What Are you doing?" She asked.

Teagan stumbled, but didn't budge from her current praying position. "Castiel please come save our stranded asses from our current spot in which we are stranded on this highway! AMEN!"

Kenzie grunted shoving Teagan once more. "Why did you do that?"

Teagan sighed, " I dunno what your problem with him is but we need help, I'm not spending another night here."

"Who has a problem with me?" Castiel's voice came from behind Teagan. His eyes met Kenzie's and she frowned turning away from him. He lowered his head a bit.

Kenzie growled, and walked to the other side of the vehicle leaning against it, and crossing her arms.

"Um...nobody. We need to get a message to the boys the bronco broke down...again." Teagan took a deep breath sick of Kenzie's current attitude, but sometimes the girl was hot and cold.

Castiel nodded, "I see and you didn't call them?"

"Dead Zone!" Kenzie called.

Castiel looked the direction she had walked and then to Teagan. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked confused.

Teagan shrugged. "I have no idea."

Castiel nodded "Should I take you to them?"

"NO!" Kenzie hissed walking to the front of the suv.

Teagan rolled her eyes, "Take me! Miss thing can stay her ass here alone."

"FINE!" Kenzie hollered.

Castiel looked at Kenzie then sighed, and grabbed Teagan's hand. The two were gone before Kenzie could say anything. Kenzie wrapped her arms around herself and took a deep breath not liking the feeling of being on the abandoned road alone. She refused to let Castiel take her to Bobby's though. Perhaps she was being childish. She wasn't sure why she was acting the way she was, she didn't even know why she was mad at Castiel.

"Zie!" Sam's voice called as two footsteps came towards her.

"Sam." She said softly turning to see Castiel who looked at her with hurt eyes.

"Dean is on his way with Bobby's tow truck.; should be about 30 minutes."

Cas approached the two causing Kenzie to uncomfortably put her arms over her chest as if to put something between the two. Cas stopped and looked at the ground.

"I'll be at Bobby's if you need me." He was gone before anyone could respond.

Sam watched Kenzie closely and shook his head, "What's up?"

Kenzie looked at him relaxing a bit. "What do you mean?"

Sam sighed, "What did Castiel do?"

Kenzie looked at her hands wringing them together. "I don't know."

Sam shook his head at her then reached out tilting her chin to meet her gaze. "Then why so mad at him?"

A tear slid down Kenzie's cheek. "I dunno! I honeslty don't"

Sam didn't speak for a moment then a smile appeared on his lips. "The attitude started when that girl kissed him in buffalo."

Kenzie sucked in a breath, "So?"

Sam laughed a bit, "I think you will figure it out."

...

An hour later Kenzie sat on the mattress in Bobby's study arms crossed over her chest, head resting against the window, and eyes fixed on Castiel. Why was she so mad at him. He hadn't done anything to her, and yet when she looked at him her blood boiled. And what had Sam meant about it starting with the girl in buffalo. Maybe the girl should have kept her lips to herself. Who goes around randomly kissing men you don't know. Sure she was drunk off her ass, but it didn't make her any less irritated.

"KENZIE!" Bobby hollered shaking her head.

"What?" She said blushing when Cas noticed her staring. He tilted his head a bit and met her gaze staring into her eyes a moment before she pulled away.

"You're journal?" Bobby said as if he was repeating himself.

Kenzie had showed up on Bobby's doorstep five years ago after her mother had been killed by demons. The last thing her mother had said was she could find her father at the address she had left in the glove box with a note for him. Bobby was what Kenzie had found, and after a mail in paternity test Bobby discovered he had a daughter who had grew up a hunter. They two had fallen into a comfortable routine, but it was still new territory for both of them. Kenzie had never taken to calling Bobby dad, and Bobby didn't seem to mind.

"Oh yes" She said pulling it out of her backpack and tossing it to him. She kept detailed notes and photos of every case she worked; a journal for every case with dates and locations, and all were now in Bobby's possession at the moment.

"Me and Sam will take a look at this. Dean and Teagan are working on your Bronco so you and Castiel will have to head to Bunkport to see if there is any relationship to what you're looking for.

"Me and Castiel?" She asked nervously.

"I can go alone I don't wish to make Kenzie uncomfortable." His voice almost sounded as if his feelings were hurt. Did Angle's have feelings?

"No it's ok I'll go with you, but we will need a car."

...

Kenzie pulled the black Chevy Impala into the parking spot of the buffalo inn taking up three spaces. Dean had threatened to gut her and feed her to the nearest demon if she let anything happen to his car. On top of that Castiel had not spoken to her the entire 5 hours they had driven. He seemed hurt by her recent actions, and it confused her even more.

"I'm sorry!" She finally said so softly she wasn't sure if Castiel had heard her.

He turned his head surprised, "For what?"

She held her breath unable to meet his gaze, "My attitude towards you lately. You didn't deserve it and I am sorry."

She could feel his eyes on her for a long time before he finally spoke, "Have I done something to anger you?"

Kenzie shook her head feeling tears begin to fall down her cheeks. She looked out the window so Castiel could not see them as she whipped them away. She breathed deep calming herself. She had not cried since her mother died 5 years ago. It made her feel weak.

"I don't' really know. Once I figure out I will let you know." She said softly.
