Author's Note: So this is a sequel to "Highway to Hell". Read that before you read this or you may not understand what is going on here. Rating is K+ for now. May change later on. No promises though ;)

Slowly waking up, Paige felt the presence of another body in her arms. Opening her eyes, she saw raven hair scattered over the pillow beside her and her arms circling a tanned waist. For a moment her heart skipped a beat, before she realized this wasn't who she thought. It was some girl she had picked up from the bar last night whose name she couldn't even remember.

She disentangled herself from the sleeping girl and got out the bed. Putting her clothes on, she left the motel room and went to the only diner in town. Walking in, she was immediately met with the sight of her half-brothers. Dean who was blissfully pigging out over a plate full of pancakes and Sam who was engrossed in his laptop. Taking a seat at their booth she ordered a cup of black coffee for herself.

"So how much longer are we staying here?" she asked.

"Not much longer. Actually, we can leave after we finish breakfast" Sam replied.

"Oh come on Sammy! We took out a Wendigo less than two days ago. I think we should take like a week-long break" Dean whined.

"Where to?" Paige asked.

"Castle Rock, Colorado."

"What's in Castle Rock, Colorado?"

"Well, in about 8 hours we will be"

"Ha ha! Very funny Sam. I meant what kind to supernatural being is wrecking havoc in Castle Rock." Dean asked agitated.

"Nothing" Sam continued with his evasive answers.

"Then why the hell would we go there?" It was Paige's turn to be irritated. "If there's nothing ghostly happening there, why can't we just stay here a little longer? I kinda like it here in this beautiful city of Norfolk."

"You mean you like the beautiful ladies of Norfolk" Dean quipped.

"Now that you mention it, they are quite lovely" Paige retorted.

"Guys if you're done drooling over the women here, can I continue?" Sam spoke up. Receiving no objections from his siblings, he continued. "We need to go there, cause Dad was there."

"What do you mean? Dad is dead." Dean said angrily.

"I know Dean. That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?" Paige asked uncomfortably. Talking about their father, John Winchester, always made her feel uneasy. She didn't quite remember the man, never got the chance to know him. But it was because of him that she was able to enjoy a normal childhood in Rosewood. Her teenage years weren't easy. Being bullied by Alison because of her sexuality was terrifying. Yet it was in that small town of Rosewood where she had known and loved Emily Fields. And for that she was eternally grateful to her father. Had John Winchester decided to introduce a young Paige to the life of a hunter like he had done with his sons, she may have never met Emily.

"I was going through dad's journal and I noticed that about 20 years ago when he was hunting down the Yellow-eyed demon, he kinda followed the same route that we did."

"What route?"

"He came across a shape-shifter in St. Louis, Missouri, faced a Wendigo in Nebraska and then went to Castle Rock."

"So what did he deal with in Castle Rock?" Dean asked now curious about the place.

"Don't know. He didn't write about it. But whatever it was, it got away."

"Wow!" Dean let out a slow whistle. "John Winchester was bested by something evil. That didn't happen often."

"Well what can I say! Maybe dad didn't have his Wheaties that morning."

"Okay. So dad found something in Castle Rock. Couldn't kill it. It got away. That doesn't mean its still there. I mean we don't even know what it was, what are we even supposed to look for?!"

"I don't know Dean! Okay! I just...we haven't had any other leads about the Yellow-eyed demon. I know this isn't actually anything, but would it really hurt us to check it out. If there's really nothing there, then we'll leave."

"Its just going to be a wild goose chase Sam."

Both brothers turned to Paige, silently asking what her opinion was. "Fine. Let's go."

The Winchester trio drove into town the next day having made a stopover at North Platte. Pulling over next to a grocery store, Dean went to go talk to some of the locals to see if anything weird was going on, while Sam when to get coffee. A while later, Dean was the first to return.

"The cashier thinks the local Free Masons are up to something sneaky but other than that nothing seems to be wrong here!"

"Dean you got the time?" Paige asked

"10 after 4...why?"

Looking straight ahead at the playground on the opposite side, Paige asked "What's wrong with this picture?"

There was a little girl playing on the swings and her mother or some woman was sitting on a bench nearby. After observing the scene for a while, Dean said "School's out...isn't it?"

"Yeah...so where is everybody? This place should be crawling with kids right now"

Slowly walking up to the woman, Paige greeted her with a smile. "Sure is quite out here"

"Yeah...it's a shame" the lady replied.

"Why is that?"

"You know kids getting sick...its a terrible thing."

"How many?"

"Just 5 or 6...but serious...possible serious...a lot of parents are getting pretty anxious...they think its catching" she sighed.

"So kids get sick all the time. There's nothing weird about that" Dean said. After Sam met up with them, Paige told the brothers what she had learned from the lady at the playground.

"Yeah...but only the kids are falling ill. I have never heard of any air-borne, water-borne or seasonal disease that only affects kids but not adults" Paige stated.

After mulling over the information for a while, Dean asked "So what do you guys want to do?"

"Why don't we find a motel to stay for tonight. We can check out the hospital tomorrow morning and if it turns out to really be a disease and not anything supernatural then we'll leave" Sam suggested.

"Sounds good to me" Paige piped up. "So where are we staying tonight?"

"I think I saw a B&B a couple of blocks away. Rivers Lodge or something."

"Fine. Let's go then" Dean said.

Paige and Sam entered the fashionably designed lobby, while Dean parked the Impala. Walking up to the reception desk, they noticed that it was being manned by a cute little blonde boy with crystal blue eyes who looked like he was barely 4 or 5 years old.

"Hey people!" he greeted them.

"Hello there...are you in charge here little guy?" Paige asked amused.

"No. My Mommee is" he replied.

"And where is your mommee?"

"Right there" the boy said looking behind Paige. Before Paige could turn around, she was greeted with an oddly familiar voice that made her freeze on the spot.

"I am so sorry. I hope my son didn't trouble you" the women apologized, cradling another blonde baby on her hip as she rounded them to go behind the reception desk.

"Not at all. He's a cute kid" Sam said.

"Thank you for saying that. Now what would you li— " she had finally turned around and came face to face with Paige standing on the other side. "Pai...Paige? Paige McCullers?!"

Paige felt her throat go dry. No one had addressed her by that name in over 3 years. Not since she left her old life behind. And here she was standing in front of a long forgotten part of her past.

"Hey Hanna..."
