Chapter 2

The next thing I remember was Dean next to me in a room I didn't recognize. It was very plain with only a table next to the bed and a chair. He was in the chair and I could tell he didn't realize I was awake. I groaned to let him know. He looked very worried. He came closer toward the bed.

"Hey Jillian. You OK?"

"Define OK. How long have I been out?" I slowly said. Groaning mostly. I was in a lot of pain. Enough that I couldn't hide any of it.

"A little less than a day. And you're talking. That's good."

"Wow, what the hell."

"Demons. They're after you and maybe your sister. See why you need to trust me and my brother?"

"Shut up." I sat up slowly. Dean helped me and handed me some water. Sam is his brother, not his partner.

"Here. You need fluids." He handed me the glass and headed to the door. "Your sister wanted to know when you were awake."

"Wait. Dean, Thank you."

"Its my job." He smiled a little as he left. It made me smile.

It was, like, less than thirty seconds before I hear my sister squeal and then the door slammed open.

"THANK GOD YOU'RE OK!" She hugged me and I crinched with pain, but I hugged her back. "You have no idea how much I worried. I'm glad you learned how to fight."

"Me too. Otherwise I'd been dead meat." I laughed a little until it hurt.

"Don't joke. You almost were." Deanna checked her phone. "Maddie has been worried sick. She keeps texting me every hour."

Dean came at that moment with food. "I thought you may be hungry so I brought you some food." He brings me a burger. "Your sister told me you love them."

"Thank you Dean. I do." I take the burger and ate while Deanna called Maddie for her to talk to me. It hurt to eat but I was so hungry I didn't care. I still ate slowly though. Deanna, Maddie, and I talked for a good solid hour. She ended up having to go to some formal thing with her mom so she hung up. Deanna stayed with me though.

It was about 9 at night before I realized I was still in the clothes I had on during the attack.

"Why am I still in the clothes I started out in?"

"Because you freak out when someone sees your middle for some reason. I respected it."

"Thanks. Is there anything I could change into?"

"Yeah. I have your sweat pants and a t-shirt."

"Thank you."

"I'll be outside if you need me."

"OK." She walked out and I was alone in the room. I slowly got out of bed and went to the mirror on the far wall. I looked at myself. I didn't even recognize me. Both my eyes were purple and swollen. There were cuts everywhere on my body as well as bluish-blackish bruises. It was horrible. I didn't even feel all the cuts on me though. A lot of them were on scars I carry on my back from my childhood that nobody knew about. I could tell my left leg was fractured, but it wasn't bad. I've had worse. Nobody seemed to realize it. I was in a trance as I looked at myself. I've never looked this misshapen before. Never. People could actually see my bruises and cuts. I would never be able to hide those scars.

My trance was broken as I heard a knock on the door.

"Just give me a second." I quickly got dresses and started going to the bed. I sat down. I barley felt any pain anymore. "Come in."

Dean came in. He looked at me and had concern on his face again.

"Don't worry. I feel better. I promise."

"OK." I could tell he didn't believe it although it was the truth. I know it was not possible, but it was true. "Just checking on you. You still Breathing?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, good. Get some rest."

"Thank you, Dean. I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you."

"Its my job. But you're welcome. I'll check on you tomorrow morning."

"OK" we smile at each other and he left the room. Deanna came in and said good night as well. I laid down and fell asleep.

The next morning, Deanna went back to school, a few hours late though, but she did. Sam with her so it was just me and Dean in the bunker (that's what they called it). Dean refused to let me although I begged, but he did let me walk around. I found myself in the library for a few hours. I hated being the weak one but it was worth it to see all those books. Dean would come check on me each hour. He would find me surrounded by all the books, reading.

It was late when Deanna and Sam got back. When they did, I put the books back, keeping two out for later, and found Deanna. She told me everything that happened at school. Dean said I could go back to the next day, so I was really exited. Deanna told me that they knew roughly what happened so, yeah. It was 10 before Deanna and I went to bed.

The next morning, I got ready. I looked a lot worse than I felt, but I was ready to head back to school.

We were only missed first period when we got there. We waited until the bell rung before went to class. Everyone was staring but no one asked. I got up to Maddie and Deanna went our separate ways.

Maddie, Deanna, and I caught up together for lunch. I was good, until crap happened. Lights flickered like crazy. One of the books from the bunker's library said that either means demons or ghosts. It also said salt can repel them. But there was no salt around. I got scared.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know." Maddie and Deanna didn't think that much when they were trying to figure out what was going on. Just then, a few football players came after us.

"What are they doing?" My voice shaking as I asked.

"I don't know. But I'm sure they're not going to hurt us." Right after Deanna said it, their eyes became black.

"Or they are. RUN!" Maddie yelled. All three of us started to run one of them grabbed me by me shirt. I screamed as two others came toward me. Just then, I punched the two and kicked the third. They let me go before they realized it. I started running again, realizing they are not after my sister, just me. I couldn't figure out at first. Then I realized. I turned around. Started running to my book bag. I grabbed my angel blade that I have had since I was little. I didn't want to use it but I would if I had to. I started running back to the doors. They were still following but I was tiny enough to go through tiny areas to give me a little time.

I was running through the hallways when I caught up with my Sister and my best friend. We all ran as fast as we could.

"What the Hell is that?" Deanna asked as we were running.

"An angel blade. It kills demons, but it kills the person it possesses to. It's a last measure. I wish I had it Tuesday."

"DEMON? WHAT?" Maddie yelled as we were making out the door.

"Yeah. Things that make people have black eyes. Their after me." We stopped for a little bit to catch our breath and to see if the demons were still after us. Or well me.

"Why?" Deanna asked.

"I'm not sure." I lied. I knew exactly why.

"Lets have this conversation later. Their coming." Maddie said. And we ran. We were about a mile away from the school when we called Sam and Dean. They said to stay under their radar for a few hours.

It took a little bit of time but we finally found a place we could hide out in. It was an old motel. We checked in and got our room. We bought salt earlier so we laid down salt lines around the window and door. We sat on the two beds and we started talking.

"We have a few hours before Dean and Sam come back. We need to figure out why the Demons are after you." Deanna said.

"I don't know. There is nothing special about me. I don't think."

"Well, they are after you for some reason." Deanna said. Panic and worry on her face as she did.

"Maybe Dean knows. Because I don't." Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Crap, who is that?" Maddie whispered.

"I don't know. I'll look through the window." I whispered back. They both tried to stop me but it was to late. I knew exactly who was at the door. A friend of mine. Castiel. Cas for short.

"Its ok. Nothing to worry about." I say as I opened the door. They tried to stop me again but it was no use. I opened it. They were so confused. They had no idea who he was. They grabbed my blade and pointed it at him. I stood between them.

"Cas, what are you doing here?"

"Making sure you were ok. Dean knew I was close by and asked if I could find you and make sure you two were ok. Who is this?" He pointed at Maddie.

"This is my friend Maddie. She was with us when the demons came after us."

"I'm sorry. Who are you?" Deanna asked. Still holding the angel blade in his direction.

"My name is Castiel. I am an angel of the Lord. People call me Cas for short."

"OK, Cas, Why would an angel care about us?"

"I care for Jillian. And the Winchesters. They all care for you, and so I care for you." Cas turned to me. "Why do your sister and your friend not trust me?"

"Because a lot has happened. I'm going to fix the salt line. No killing Cas." I fix the salt line and the conversation picks up again.

"So Cas, how have you been?"

"Fine. And you Jillian?"

"Been better."

"I'm sorry, but sis, how do you know him?"

"It was a long time ago. I was just a kid. He helped me learn how to fight. You really can trust him. I promise."

"OK." Deanna sat down. Maddie sat down with her. They gave me the blade. We sat talking for the next few hours.

Then we heard a knock at the door. I got up to see who it was. It was Dean. I opened the door and hugged him. I'm not sure why, just felt right. He hugged back and then we let go.

"Hey. You guys alright?"

"Yeah." Deanna said.

"Thanks." Maddie said.

"Maddie, what are you doing here?" Dean asked

"She was with us when we were attacked." I said

"OK." He looked at Cas. Cas shrugged his shoulders. "I'm gonna take you both back to the bunker. Cas, you're coming to." We all started to leave when Maddie stopped us.

"What am I supposed to do?"

"They aren't after you. They are after Jill, here. You'll be aright." Dean said. As he said it, I saw something on Maddie's upper arm. A sigil that I've seen before. When I saw it, I knew not to ask anything til we got to the impala.
