Salt, Spirits, and Sam Winchester

by middleishearth

When Ben Nelson's girlfriend comes back from the dead, he feels as if his life is finally whole again. Team Free Will disagrees. Actually a crossover with one of my original stories, and that's where Ben, Emily, and Keith come from. Loosely based off 5.15 "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid." Full story with a new chapter every time the point of view changes. Rated T for language.

"Ben?"

Oh, but it is.

Ben stands up, pushing in the chair with one of his ankles. His gaze is fixed on the source of the soft voice. Tears spring to his eyes, and he begins to breathe quicker. It can't be. "Emily?"
