Ellie sat on the front of Bobby's car with her head in her hands. She knew Dean would want to know why she didn't pass out like Bobby did, and she knew she couldn't lie to him. She was also very curious as to what they were dealing with. Never had she come into contact with anything that her powers wouldn't work on. Nothing. And this frightened her.

After a while Dean came out of the barn alone and approached the car.

"What the hell happened in there? I know he didn't just change his mind and let you walk out." Dean opened the back seat of the car, throwing his armory-in-a-bag into the back seat then slammed the door shut and approached her once again.

"Well that all depends, he didn't try to kill you obviously, so maybe he is on our side?" She said and shrugged, trying to play it off.

"I saw your face. You were just as shocked as he was. Whats going on."

She sighed and rubbed her forehead, then got up. "I can't really explain it. But I'll show you." She grabbed a gun from the trunk and handed it to him. "Shoot me."

"What? How on earth would that help the situation?" He put the gun on the hood of the car.

"Ok. Another way then." She picked the gun up, stepped back a few feet and pointed the gun at him with her right hand. She held her left hand up as if to push him away and pulled the trigger but the bullet never hit him. Instead it landed in the dirt with a hard thud. He stepped back in surprise.

"You just tried to shoot me!"

"Oh come on, I've been practicing, okay. And if I wasn't sure I could do it I wouldn't have tried." She placed the gun back on the hood and sat down in the grass.

"I can't believe you kept this from me, after all this time, all that we've been through. You lied to me."

"I never lied to you, I made sure of that. I just didn't want you to worry about me like you do about Sam."

"So this means your one of Yellow eye's creepy 'children?'"

"He talked to me a few times. He wasn't ever clear about anything though. He just said I would have to take over if things didn't go as planned. That I was going to be a pretty big pawn in his endgame. But you guys ganked him. No endgame." She got up again, dusted herself off. "This stays between me and you. We can't worry about this, it doesn't even mean anything, really."

"It always means something."

The ride home was pretty quiet, but once they got back to Bobby's and Sam got back, Dean explained everything that Castiel had told him and they got to researching. Bobby and Dean took a few books and started digging around while Sam and Ellie surfed the internet for some information. When everything checked out they were still as confused as the were when Dean woke from hell.

"Well, Im going to go take a bath." Ellie got up from her chair and shut her laptop. She grabbed some clothes from her bag and proceeded to the bathroom, locking the door behind her. Bobby had a pretty large bathtub so it was very easy to relax in. She filled the tub up high with hot water and bubbles and got in. She felt relaxed almost instantly and closed her eyes, thinking about everything that happened in the past day or two. It wasn't very long before the water started to get cold and as Ellie opened her eyes she saw a man standing over the bathtub. Before she could react he grabbed her throat, pushing her to the bottom. She tried hard to push him off of her but he never budged, so instead she put her hand up towards a shelf by the door and it fell over crashing to the floor. It felt like forever before Dean and Sam got the door open, and she started to lose consciousness and gave up.

Dean shot saltrounds at the man as soon as they got the door open and Sam pulled her out of the bathtub, covered her up with a towel and tried CPR on her. After a few tries the water erupted from her mouth, and she gripped Sam's shirt tight as she gasped for air. Sam hugged her tight, but she didn't have the energy to hug back and her arms fell limp.

They decided if there was something trying to kill any of them they would sleep in shifts, in the same room, and whoever was awake would try to figure out who that was and what was going on.

Dean made a pallet on the floor by the couch, and he and Ellie took first sleeping shift. He was exhausted, so it didn't take him long to get to sleep.

"This is a seal." Dean opened his eyes to see Castiel standing in the next room. "You need to stop it before too many people die."

"A seal? That's just a ghost. And what the hell is a seal anyway?"

"Think of them as locks on a door. Lilith is opening them."

"Okay, last one opens and..?"

"Lucifer walks free."

"Like the devil Lucifer?" Dean said with a laugh. "Come on."

"Did you believe in angels before you met me? Why do you think we're here on earth after all this time?"

"So the guy who tried to kill Ell.."

"Was a witness to the unnatural. Innocents who couldn't be saved."

"So there will be more?"

"Many. "

"What are we supposed to do? We can't salt and burn everyone who's seen supernatural things."

"Figure it out. We wouldn't want to lose anyone of importance."

Dean sighed and put his head down, rubbing his forehead. When he looked up again Castiel was gone. He woke up instantly, looking around to see Sam on his laptop again and Bobby deep into a stack of books. He looked up at Ellie, whose hair was matted to her face in a layer of sweat, so he took a blanket off of her to help cool her down.

"They are seals." He whispered as he walked over to Bobby and Sam. "That's what Castiel told me. Do those even exist?"

"Wouldn't hurt to check it out. We've been reading in circles over here." Bobby yawned, picking through his pile of books to find what he could about seals.

"When did you talk to Castiel?" Sam asked. He was kind of excited about the thought of meeting an angel.

"In my sleep I guess. It was weird. I didn't feel like I was asleep." Dean shrugged it off. "If what he told me is true, we've got a big problem."

"What kind of problem?" Bobby asked.

"Like Lucifer walks the earth kind of problem."
