So here's my new story. People have been asking for a story that had more Racheal in it and this is what my brain came up with. I have a bad bad brain. Hope you guy like this. There are small appearances from Dean and a Lilith has a major part to play.

Chapter 1

It had been nearly a year and she still couldn't go home. Well, the only steady home she'd had since her mother's death when she was two. Caleb was practically begging, but she still couldn't bring herself to go back to the place where her sister had died. Instead, she was going hunting on her own. She'd been doing it most of the year anyway.

She still did her schoolwork and finished her pre-med classes, but school wasn't the distraction from Laura's death that she'd hoped it would be so she went back to her training. She saved people and killed things. The family business as her older brother put it.

Dean would be so pissed if he knew what she'd been up too. He told her not to go out on her own. It wasn't because he thought she couldn't do the job. He was worried about her state of mind and the fact that she was still a kid.

"A fifteen year old shouldn't be out hunting monsters on her own." Dean said right before he left her alone at their place in Montana to rejoin their father and younger brother.

He'd spent days begging her to go with him, but she couldn't bring herself to put Dean through that. She still blamed their father for her sister's death. Deep down, Katie knew there was nothing John could've done to stop it. Laura had made sure of that, but she still couldn't help herself. She was convinced that if John hadn't left the girls behind in Lawrence when they were toddlers, Laura would still be alive and the fighting between herself and her father might be more than her older brother could handle.

Then there was the headache of dealing with Sam. She loved her little brother, but he didn't know they were related. She'd only met the kid two or three times and lied to him about who she was every time. The fight the truth would cause now might just be more than any of the Winchesters could handle. So, Katie stayed as far away from her biological family as she could, with the exception of an occasional phone call from Dean.

She hated to admit it, but she liked her adoptive family better. Caleb was more of a father to her and Bobby Singer was the best uncle anyone could ask for. Bobby's daughter Racheal had been more of a little sister to her and Laura from the moment they met her, which made the whole situation that much better.

She was on her way to Bobby's place in South Dakota for a little relaxation before she went to work. Mostly Bobby wanted her to baby sit when he'd asked her to come, but she was cool with that. Bobby was going on some big thing with Caleb and Steve Wandell and wasn't sure how long he'd be gone. He said it was too dangerous to take thirteen year old Racheal with him, but that was probably an excuse to get Katie to his place and out of the way. Worked for Katie, she hadn't spent time alone with her "cousin" since Racheal had come to Lawrence to visit during Christmas.

She still had a few hours to go on her drive and she was completely exhausted, but she didn't want to sleep either. Every time she closed her eyes, she relived her sister's death in her dreams. She was about to put in the new Metallica tape she'd bought before leaving Lawrence when her cell phone rang.

"Hello" Katie said into her phone.

"So, how's the college graduate doing?" A male voice asked.

"I'm fine Dean." Katie said with a smile. "How's things with you?"

"Good. Sam's becoming a royal pain in the ass, but it was totally expected." Dean replied.

"I know I'm not gonna like the answer, but why were you expecting that?" Katie asked.

"Because he's our brother." Dean replied with a laugh. "I got a question for you."
"Shoot." Katie said.

"Where are you? I know you're not headed for Caleb's or Pastor Jim's cause I already talked to them." Dean said worriedly.

"I'm off to see family." Katie replied.

"Whose family?" Dean asked.

"Bobby and Racheal." Katie said.

"Oh." Dean replied

"You sound disappointed." Katie said.

"I was hoping you were coming to visit us." Dean said.

"Not yet." Katie said. "I-I still…"

"I know." Dean interrupted. "I guess I just wanted to see for myself that you really are doing ok."

"I'm fine, I promise." Katie said. "Bobby asked me a week ago if I'd come Racheal sit for him. What do you say you and me take a road trip as soon as he gets home? No hunting, just two kids cruising around and getting into trouble for a week."

"Sounds good to me." Dean replied. "As long as we don't get arrested."

"Awe, come on. We gotta get busted at least once." Katie said with a laugh. "There's nothing more fun than showing cops how dumb they are."

"I'm with ya there." Dean replied. "But you don't have to answer to dad."

"You only have to answer to John if he finds out about it." Katie said.

"He knows about every move we made while we were staying in Montana." Dean said. "I don't think it would take him long to figure out we got ourselves arrested on purpose."

"That's when you tell him it was a training exercise to see how long it would take us to break out." Katie shot back.

"Good point." Dean said. "Hey Katie."
"Yeah." Katie said.

"I'll see ya soon." Dean said.

"Take care of yourself big brother." Katie said.

"You too." Dean said.

Katie stared at her phone for a few minutes before closing it and sticking it in her pocket. She was tempted to change direction and head for Dean in Indiana, but she'd already promised Bobby she'd be at his place by morning. She had to keep her promise, so she put in "Load" and kept driving north east.
