Note: I apologize if my writing is rough. First fanfiction ever, so I'm still trying to figure everything out. So if you have any pointers for me feel free to let me know so I can improve my story. I also do not own anything except for Adeline.
Chapter 2
Adeline was sitting at the kitchen table icing her ankle. It was way worse than yesterday, now she could barely walk on it. Stupid mark of the witness, she thought as she watched Bobby cook.
"Can't make that grateful exit now huh, Addy?"
Bobby joked as he handed her a plate of eggs.
"I told you I was planning on staying Bobby. Eggs though? What's up with the fancy breakfast?"
Adeline eyed him suspiciously as he sat down next to her. Not that she wasn't grateful for the real food but she was wondering why Bobby was being so nice to her.
"Talk to your brothers yet?"
Bobby asked her instead. Adeline sighed now getting what the eggs were about.
"No, we've managed to avoid really talking what with the all the ghosts attacking and then the talk of apocalypse and breaking of the seals. They seem pleasantly distracted, now who am I to get in the way of that? I'm just their sister."
Adeline told him as she started scarfing down her eggs.
Bobby sighed wondering when she got so cynical.
"You three can't avoid each other forever, there is a big blow up coming and you know it. That's why as soon as you see them you hightail it out of the room before they can say anything."
Adeline raised her eyebrow as she scooped up another portion of eggs then waved her arm towards her ankle. She couldn't hightail it anywhere even if she wanted to.
"Damn it girl, I've noticed the few times they've actually tried to ask you something personnel you change the subject."
"Also when they've tried to tell me some me something personnel." Adeline admitted.
"Adeline." Bobby narrowed his eyes at her.
"Bobby."
She said in the same disapproving tone of voice as she handed him her empty plate. She picked up her leg and set it down with a wince. She got up putting all her weight on her good foot then tested her another one with a step. She cursed, it hurt like hell but at least icing it helped some. Adeline started moving very slowly to the door.
"Where the hell think you're going?" Bobby asked her getting up himself to aid her.
"To talk to my brothers, you said I can't avoid them forever so might as well have this big blow up now right?"
Adeline shrugged waving away Bobby's help.
She found her brothers in the yard talking to each other but as soon as they saw her they stopped. Oh this is a great sign, she thought with an eye roll less than excited to have this conversation.
"So Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum what's been going on in your lives for the past…what's it been three years now? Lots to catch up on."
She narrowed her eyes at them wondering if they would tell her about Dean's death or not.
Dean wiped the oil of his hands before looking at her.
"How about you tell us what's been going on with you Addy?"
He challenged. Adeline sighed and placed her hands in her pockets.
"Fine we'll just avoid our issues with each other forever. I'm sure we'll end up working smoothly together. I can't trust you, you can't trust me. We'll be the perfect team."
She said with an eye roll.
Dean looked over at same and made a go ahead motion. Sam grimaced as he turned to Adeline.
"Listen Addy, we have something we need to tell you."
Adeline raised her eyebrow waiting as Sam took another breath. This outta be good.
"Well uh, last year I died and then Dean made a deal to bring me back but instead of ten years he only got one before he was dragged down to hell. Then uh four days ago Dean comes back and we found out he was dragged out of hell by angels. But that's just the short story, I can tell you the long version if you want."
Adeline narrowed her eyes at her brothers. She could tell Sam was nervous but Dean seemed to be holding her glare. She walked over closer to them and smacked both of their heads.
"What the hell Addy?" Dean shouted.
"Don't you what the hell Addy me, Dean! I can't believe you sold your soul like that. I can't believe how during your last year alive you didn't come to find me Dean. Don't you think I would've wanted to say goodbye to my brother or have you just written me out of the family after dad's funeral?"
Adeline shouted to him. She brought her glare over to Sam who was looking everywhere but her.
"And you...I actually can expect that crap from Dean but you Sammy. How could you leave me in the dark about all this and for the last four months when Dean has been down in Hell, you could've come to me and told me what happened and then we could've found a way to bring him back together! But you just go off who knows where and don't even bother looking for me?! Damn you both, I'm your sister. I'm your freaking blood and you think it's okay to leave me out of this?!"
Adeline was shaking with fury as she glared at the both of them but then her glare fixated on Dean whose anger seemed to match hers while Sam just looked like a dog that had been kicked.
"You wanna talk about blood now Addy?! Where were you when we were trying to find dad huh? Where were you when I was in the hospital? Where the hell were you when our younger brother was shot?! You want to yell at us for not telling you something that happened when you should have been there with us?!"
Adeline felt like she was slapped. She knew she should've been with them. Hell she even tried finding them when they were looking for dad even though she promised that man she would never see him again but she wanted to be there for her brothers. Unfortunately trouble just kept getting in her wake she couldn't even remember what it was. Anytime she tried thinking about what kept her from her brothers she would end up drawing a blank and earn a massive headache. She knew that couldn't be good. She had far too many blank spots in her memory for her liking.
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe I was in trouble Dean?! That maybe there was a reason I could never be there? And then after what you said to me during dad's funeral why would I even want to?!"
Dean opened his mouth to yell some more but Sam beat him to it.
"Where you in trouble Addy?" he asked finally looking at her.
Adeline rubbed her hand over her face. Damn blank spots.
"Maybe, Probably I don't know." She got out softly.
"What the hell do you mean you don't know?!" Dean shouted.
"Dean!" Sam glared at him.
"A lot of things happened, okay!" Adeline got out. She composed herself again and ran a hand back in her ear.
"What things Adeline?! You know the angel Castiel, he said your soul is breaking after we talked about the breaking seals. What the hell have you been doing that's breaking your soul?"
"How the hell does he even know what kind of condition my soul is in? I'm fine Dean. But how about we talk about you?! How was hell?!"
Adeline crossed her arms pissed. Dean threw his rag at her before stomping away and slammed the door behind him as he went into Bobby's house.
"Real mature Dean!"
Adeline shouted at the closed door.
"Adeline."
Ding ding round two, she thought as she turned to Sam. Sam surprised her though by hugging her and she ended up losing her footing. So now he was the only thing supporting her.
"Sam?"
"I have missed you Adeline. So has Dean, you know when we actually figured out Bobby knew where you lived he was a bit excited to see you again too. He was nervous the whole ride up and he kept telling stories about the old days." Sam informed her. He laid his chin on top her head.
"Truth be told Sammy, I've missed you and Dean too."
Adeline told him wrapping her arms around her younger brother. Something about him calmed her. Probably because they had been best friends at one point.
"Why didn't you come get me Sam?"
"I didn't want you to go through the pain of losing Dean like I did. I thought it was just better to leave you out of it."
Sam picked her up.
"I can walk." Adeline grumbled.
"Like a grandmother. Come on. Let's go in and talk about this instead of yelling."
Sam told her as he carried her inside. They found Dean in the living room with Bobby so Sam set her down and she sat down on the couch with a frown.
"You're right I should've been there."
Adeline grumbled taking a sucker out of her pocket then popped it into her mouth.
"Okay, here's the deal Addy, Come with us and I won't ask you what the hell you've been up to and expect the same, but you stay with us. Same hotel room and everything so we can keep an eye on you."
Adeline opened her mouth to say she didn't need to be babysat but Dean narrowed his eyes at her.
"Your freaking soul is falling apart according to Castiel. Like hell Sam and I don't need to keep an eye on you Addy. Maybe we can see if we can reverse it or something."
Dean mumbled the last part to himself before he turned around leaving a frowning Adeline and shocked Sam.
"What did you say to him Bobby?" Sam asked.
"Just talked to him."
Bobby grumbled as he got back to reading his book. Adeline caught his eye and he winked at her causing her to roll her eyes.
"Back together again, yay."
She said in fake enthusiasm waving her hands. But she knew it would be a while before things were all right with them on both ends.

Dean woke up with a gasp in his cheap motel bed.
"Hello Dean."
Dean looked towards the voice and saw Castiel sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Do you get your freak on by watching people sleep?"
Castiel cocked his head to the side and then looked over to where Adeline was sprawled across the other bed. She fought Sam over it and ended up winning because her ankle was still pretty swollen and had used the older sibling card even though it was just a year.
"You brought your sister with you. There is so much pain in her."
Castiel commented turning back to Dean.
"Just tell me, what exactly in the hell is wrong with her?"
Dean asked trying to keep it down so he wouldn't wake his sister.
"Listen to me, you have to stop it."
Castiel told him with furrowed brows ignoring his question.
"Stop what?"
Dean asked before Castiel placed his fingers on Dean and sent him back in time.
Castiel walked over to the middle winchester and watched her as she slept on her stomach. Her short blonde hair was sprawled everywhere and Castiel figured she would even have some in her mouth. He was about to leave her but Adeline ended up whimpering stopping Castiel in his tracks. His eyes fell on her ankle that she just kicked out from under the sheets. She was in physical pain he realized not just emotional. Castiel brought his hand to her ankle and touched it healing her sprain. He pulled back and was surprised to find a pair of green eyes much like Dean's staring down at him.
His chest started burning and he furrowed his brows confused at the uncomfortable feeling and the faint click he heard. Was something wrong with his vessel? He wondered as he looked down quickly before looking back at the girl.
Adeline had felt something warm on her foot and that's what woke her up. She opened her eyes and saw a man in a trench coat touching her ankle. Yeah this is normal to wake up to... she thought confused.
The man looked up at her then and she was surprised at how blue his eyes were, she could see them clearly with only moonlight shining through the window. She felt a burning sensation in her chest and frowned what was this guy doing to her? It didn't hurt but man...she felt weird.
She reached for her gun so she could shoot the man, after all nothing good could come from a man who had snuck into the hotel and had touched her foot. The weird feeling stopped and Adeline heard a lock click into place. The hell?
"I healed your sprain."
He told her. Adeline sighed and let go of gun.
"You must be the angel."
Adeline said before she yawned.
"Thank you for healing my ankle."
Adeline continued. Castiel nodded his head at her surprised at her thanks. Her soul was breaking in half and still she had enough kindness to thank him. Her attitude was different than her brother's. She truly meant to show him her gratitude.
Castiel turned to leave he needed to see how Dean was doing but before he could go Adeline had got up and was holding onto the bottom of his trench coat. He turned back to her and tilted his head. What did she want?
"Thank you, for bringing my brother back from the dead."
Adeline whispered a bit embarrassed. Her brother might be an ass and she might not like him too much right now but she still loved him. She looked over towards Dean's bed and saw he wasn't there.
Twice now the girl had thanked me and really meant it.
"Where is he by the way?" Adeline asked letting go of his coat and got out of bed wrapping the covers around her because she realized it was pretty chilly in the room.
"I sent him back in time to find the truth."
"Right...okay."
Adeline nodded her head slowly too tired to really question that. But awake enough to realize what he did. She turned her head to the couch and saw Sam wasn't here as well.
"Sam is out, living in sin."
Castiel told her as she saw her looking at the empty couch.
"Ah." Adeline answered wondering if living in sin was code for sleeping with a girl.
"...So do I need to go on this back to the future trip?" She asked turning back to the angel.
"I didn't send him to the future I sent him to the past."
Adeline rolled her eyes at how serious he was. Okay so angels didn't get movie references. Probably couldn't take a joke either.
"Right." She commented with a yawn as she went to the fridge and pulled out a bottle water. She turned back to where Castiel was to thank him again for her ankle but he wasn't there anymore. She shrugged her shoulders before opening her water. Weird fellow she thought before getting back into bed.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
"Are you still all pissy about that whole me not waking you up to get Sam? I told you I was sorry a thousand times Addy. I mean really get over it that was days ago."
Dean told her as he looked back into the mirror at her. Adeline had her head on the window looking out ignoring Dean as she had been anytime they were in the car. He clenched the steering wheel annoyed with her and opened his mouth again but then closed it with a smirk when he saw she seemed a little green.
"No wait….really Adeline? You could've just told me you still get car sick."
Dean grinned at her amused guessing the right reason Adeline wasn't talking to him or Sam. Adeline held up her finger in a rude gesture. Causing Dean to laugh and Sam looked back at her in pity.
"Just don't puke in my baby. You remember the signal to give me so I can pull over right?"
Dean asked her now worried she might upchuck in his precious baby. Adeline spun her index finger around and Dean nodded.
"Good girl."
Dean nodded his head at her proud.
"Uh Dean…you might want to pull over…"
Sam commented still looking at Adeline who was looking a bit more green in the face and who was still spinning her finger around.
"Shit."
Dean said as he stopped the car. Adeline quickly got out and walked out to some trees as her brothers waited in the car for her.
"Man, you would think she would have got over that by now."
Dean said as they watched her disappear behind some trees.
"Dean we've been on the road for hours. She used to be a lot worse."
Sam smiled thinking back to how sometimes their dad would have to pull to the side of the road after ten minutes just for Adeline. Dean couldn't help but smile too as he recalled showing his little sister that if she didn't want anyone to see her she should puke behind the trees.
Adeline leaned her head against the tree. Her stomach was doing flips but at least the fresh air was helping. She hadn't puked yet and she actually wasn't sure if she was going to. Adeline felt her skin get a slight buzz and she wished she brought her coat with her. It was late October after all.
"Are you okay?"
The voice made Adeline jump and she wiped out her gun aiming it at the voice.
"You know, if we keep meeting like this flyboy, I will at some point accidently shoot you."
Adeline told him grumpily as she put away her gun. Castiel tilted his head,
"You can't kill me. Are you okay?"
Adeline rolled her green eyes at him.
"Good to know. Motion sickness. Now why meet me out here in the woods when I'm alone?" She asked with a raised brow at him.
"You should leave your brothers they're bound to bring you into dangerous situations."
Castiel warned her as he moved closer to her.
"Ha right, I've been stuck in stupid motels for the last three cases because my brothers are worried about the whole soul breaking thing. You had no business telling them about that. I also actually ended up stuck babysitting Dean during one case. I can handle myself, I'm hunter."
Adeline told him starting to walk by him. Castiel surprised her though by grabbing her wrist.
"There was a time for a while you weren't." He told her.
Adeline narrowed her eyes at the angel and yanked her arm out of his grasp.
"If you know what's good for you, you won't mention that to me again Flyboy." She whispered pissed at the stupid angel. He had no right to talk to her about this.
"Your soul is breaking in half Adeline. You're in so much pain and being with your brothers, continuing hunting will only cause it to break."
Castiel warned her again with narrowed eyes.
"Listen here blue eyes, my soul feels fine, I feel fine and I'm staying with my brothers. Technically I'm not even hunting I'm just wasting away in a motel room until Dean feels like he can trust me."
She turned her back to him having enough but he only ended up in front of her.
"I don't understand. Don't you care that your soul is breaking? You still want to be with your brothers even though it will hasten the process?"
Castiel asked with a head tilt and a scrunched up face trying to understand why she would even want to stay hunting.
Adeline sighed she really didn't want to think about this now but she took a step back which caused Castiel to furrow his brows even more. Hasn't he ever thought of personnel space? she thought glaring at him.
"How long do I have and what even happens when my soul breaks in half?" Adeline asked him.
"I don't know your... essence is off But I wouldn't guess long."
Adeline flinched as her head started to hurt and her ears rang while Castiel looked up. Next thing she knew the angel was gone and her flare of pain was a dull ache. She trumped back to the impala angry, cold and confused as she held her head.
"Have fun?" Dean asked her with a grin as she got back into the car.
"Bite me."
She grumbled looking in her bag for some aspirin thinking it wasn't long for her soul to break in half whatever that meant, she thought with a huff.

"Really, after that guy choked down that candy with all the razor blades?"
Sam asked Dean a bit amused and put out as his brother ate some candy.
"It's Halloween man and what about Addy, you don't seem to be put off with her candy eating habits."
Dean pointed over to where she was watching tv and munching down on some candy herself.
"Yeah…for us every day is Halloween."
"Don't be such a downer. Anything interesting?"
"Well we're on a witch hunt that's for sure, but this isn't your typical hex bag."
Dean looked over Sam's shoulder still chewing his taffy.
Addy turned off the tv and came over to peer on the other side of Sam's shoulder to see what he found.
"Goldthread, a herb that's been extinct for two hundred years and this is celtic, and I don't mean some new age knock-off. Looks like the real deal like six hundred years old real. And, uh… That is the charred metacarpal bone of a newborn baby."
Sam said showing the different objects to his siblings.
"Uh, gross." Dean said as he put down the bone he just smelled.
"Relax man. It's like at least a hundred years old."
"Oh right, like that makes it better? Witches, man. They're so freaking skeevy." Dean grumbled before getting up.
"Yeah." Sam agreed as Adeline got up and sat next to him.
"But to put a bag like this together it's more juice than we've ever dealt with before, that's for sure. What about you? Find anything on the victim?"
"This Luke Wallace, he was so Vanilla he made Vanilla seem spicy. I can't find any reason why somebody would want this guy dead. What about you blondie? What did you contribute to this witch hunt?"
Adeline held up a bag of candy she bought earlier when they were at a gas station. Dean rolled his eyes at her.
"How about you start pulling your weight around here Addy."
"I'm not doing any research until you bring me out on the field again."
Adeline said crossing her arms. She was sick of always being told to stay inside the motel and research. Sam was capable enough and sure they would find out things faster if she helped but she didn't want to help her captors.
"Fine, next death we'll bring you into play. I hope you brought something other than cargo pants and t-shirts or they'll never believe you're FBI Addy."
Dean told her not liking this but they needed her help on this one. Sam looked towards his sister and saw a smirk cross her face before she took a bite of a candy bar. Adeline noticed Sam watching her and held out her candy bar.
"Want some?" She asked with her mouth full.
"I'm good. But thanks."
Sam chuckled remembering a time when they were younger and she ended up with chocolate all over her face and arms.
"Suit yourself."
She told him before swatting Dean's hands away from her candy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dean, Sam and Adeline all arrived at the murder scene together although Dean wasn't too happy with his sister's appearance. She was dressed in her usual cargo pants and had her leather jacket on over her t-shirt and her two guns were underneath her jacket, the only thing that was different about her was she was wearing a pumpkin mask on the side of her head.
"You look ridiculous."
Dean whispered to her as they got closer to the cops.
"I look like someone who was just called in to work after spending time at a Halloween party."
Adeline told him with a smug grin. Sam couldn't help roll his eyes with a small smile as Dean sighed. He then looked around a saw a pretty blonde girl talking to the cops.
"I got this one."
Dean said with a wolfish grin. Sam and Adeline looked at each other with raised eyebrows then turned back to Dean scoffing.
"Two words…" Sam started. "Jail bait," he finished.
"I would never."
"Right."
Adeline snorted before walking over to one of the cops.
"Agent Presley, here I was called in to help two of my agents on this case. So can you tell me what happened?"
Adeline asked showing the cop her badge before tucking it back in her jacket. She watched as the cop looked her over skeptical of her appearance but then again it was Halloween tomorrow and she was probably at a party since she said she was called in.
"High school girl drowned in boiling hot water when she was bobbing for apples."
"Right, that seems completely normal. Thanks."
Adeline clapped the man on the shoulder then walked over to Sam to help him find the hex bag.
"So they bought your get up?"
"Of course they bought it. I have a badge, I have the narrowed eye look and I have two guns strapped to me."
"Why didn't you just wear a pant suit or something?"
Adeline sighed and pulled out a sucker unwrapping it before sticking it in her mouth.
"Because I look like I'm playing dress up whenever I do."
She grumbled throwing her wrapper on the ground. Sam gave her a seriously I can't believe you just did that look before he went over and started checking the couch for the hex bag. He found it and showed it to his sister before holding it up to Dean.
"Nice work Sparky."

"I'm telling both of these vics are squeaky clean. There was no reason for wicked bitch payback."
Dean told them as Adeline handed Sam the book she was just reading and pointed to the page she just read before climbing off the bed they were sitting on. She made her way to the empty bed and laid down face first on it.
"Maybe cause it's not about that."
Sam said reading what Adeline just passed off to him.
"Wow. Insightful." Dean commented sarcastically.
"Maybe this witch isn't working a grudge. Maybe they're working a spell. Check what Addy found. Three blood sacrifices over three days the last before midnight on the final day of the final harvest."
Sam stood up reading making his way to Dean.
"Celtic calendar, the final day of the final harvest is October thirty first." He continued.
"Halloween?"
"Exactly." Sam answered and handed Dean the book.
"What exactly are the, uh, blood sacrifices for?"
He asked looking over the book.
"Uh, if I'm right this witch is summoning a demon. And not just any demon. Samhain."
"Am I supposed to be impressed?"
Dean asked not understanding why he should could care that the witch was trying to summon a certain demon.
"Dean, Samhain is the damn origin of Halloween. The Celts believed that October thirty first was the one night of the year when the veil was thinnest between the living and the dead and it was Samhain's night. I mean masks were put on to hide from him, sweets left on doorsteps to appease him, faces carved into pumpkins to worship him. He was exorcised centuries ago." Sam explained.
"So even though Samhain took a trip downstairs the tradition stuck?"
"Exactly only now, instead of demons and blood orgies, Halloween is all about kids, candy and costumes."
Sam confirmed, he looked over towards Adeline on the bed and saw she was still laying on her stomach, probably asleep since she wasn't adding any input to the conversation.
"Okay, so some witch wants to raise Samhain and take back the night?"
Dean asked pulling back Sam's attention.
"Dean this is serious." Sam scolded.
"I am serious." Dean argued.
"We're talking heavyweight witchcraft. This ritual can only be performed every six hundred years."
"And the six hundred year marker rolls around…."
"Tomorrow night."
"Naturally."
Dean and Sam discussed more about Samhain and what he could do if he was to be brought up. Dean after a while stood up and stretched ready to get some shut eye but he frowned when he saw Adeline in his bed.
"Hey Addy, nice job with finding the book and all but that doesn't mean you can sleep on my bed so get out."
Dean walked over to her and shook her shoulder to get her to move.
"Dean, be nice." Sam told him lying down in his own bed.
"I am being nice, it's her turn to sleep on the couch." Dean argued shaking his sister's shoulder but Adeline wasn't waking up.
"Dean, let her sleep." Sam frowned.
"Give me your bed then Sam."
"No, I slept on the couch last night Dean." Sam said as he closed his eyes.
"Sammy."
Dean begged him as he sat down on the couch.
"We wouldn't have this problem if you would just let Adeline have her own room like she wanted." Sam said annoyed with all this.
"No way in hell Sammy, if Cas is right then her soul is breaking whatever the hell that means and she should stay within one of our sights as much as possible until we fix her."
Dean grumbled laying down on the couch. Sam sighed knowing Adeline was hating this and that she felt like a caged bird.
"Take her with you tomorrow so she stops feeling trapped."
Sam told Dean serious about it. Dean grunted in reply and it didn't take long for them to fall asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adeline took a piece of taffy and opened it up as Dean did the same. Together they threw the wrapper in the back seat of the impala.
"I don't think this is much better than being stuck in the motel room."
Adeline grumbled as Dean burped.
"Seriously this is part of hunting Addy. Man what the hell have you been doing the past few years?"
Dean wondered aloud as his phone started ringing.
"Hey." Dean said answering the phone.
Adeline picked up her pair of binoculars and started looking out again.
"Awesome. Yeah, I talked to Mrs. Razor blade again while Addy sat in the car. We've been sitting out in the front of her house for hours, and we've got a big, steamy pile of nothing."
Dean said tired of being parked outside the house. He glanced at Adeline and knew she had been done with this for awhile now before she had voiced a complaint.
"Yeah well I hope we find him soon cause I'm starting to cramp like a….."
Dean paused as Adeline pointed at something outside. Dean turned and saw the girl from last night.
"Son of a bitch." Dean finished.
"No, Sam, I mean Son of a bitch."
Dean told him watching as the girl went into the house. They had seen that girl before at the other house.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So, our apple bobbing cheerleader?"
Sam asked his siblings as they walked back into the motel. Adeline sat down next to Sam moving the book that was in the way. She tuned her brothers out until Dean asked Sam if he would go for a hot cheerleader as a costume to go back in. Adeline and Sam gave Dean a funny look.
"I would."
Dean confessed thinking about it. Sam turned to Adeline asking a question with his eyes, she just shrugged her shoulders then turned back to give Dean a look to let him she thought he was messed up.
"Mmm."
Sam continued looking at Dean as he made that sound and after a few seconds Dean seemed to back in the world.
"Yeah, I'm going to go shower off that mental image." Adeline said hopping off the bed and went into the bathroom.
"You're fine staying here if we go check something out at Tracy's school right?!" Dean shouted to her after Sam showed him what he found.
"Knock yourselves out!"
Adeline shouted back to them as she stripped off her clothes and stepped into the steamy, hot water. She heard the door closing behind them after Dean told her to stay here and not go anywhere. Ha. She showered quickly then got dressed in her cargo pants and a gray tank top before walking out still towel drying her hair. She realized she should've dried her body off better because she still felt it tingling.
"Hello Adeline."
Adeline frowned at the deep voice and looked up into the blue eyes of Castiel.
"Flyboy? Here to tell me my soul is breaking in half again? Because really I got the picture the first time I heard and I'm not leaving Dean or Sam."
Adeline told him rolling her eyes throwing the damp towel she was holding in the bathroom. Seriously what is this guy?
"My name is Castiel. I don't understand why you just won't leave them even at the cost of your very soul."
Castiel moved closer to her so Adeline had to look up some to see his face. This girl was intriguing.
"Because they're my brothers and we've had enough time apart."
Adeline answered backing up until her back hit the wall but she still felt too close the angel and she frowned up at him.
"Ever hear of personnel space?"
She grumbled. Castiel cocked his head to the side then understanding dawned in his eyes and he walked back a few paces. Adeline sighed relieved at the gesture and looked over at the bed frowning.
"Damn it, I left my candy in the Impala."
She grumbled not believing she did such a thing.
"Why did you leave them in the first place?"
Castiel asked her ignoring her rambling about candy and how she would murder Dean if he ate all her candy. She went over to Sam's bed where she had slung her jacket earlier and put it on.
"I'm surprised you don't know since you seem to know other things about my life."
Adeline told him bitterly as she picked up the motel key one of her brothers left behind.
"All I know are the actions, not the thoughts and reasons behind them and I don't know everything." Castiel told her in reply frowning as she walked out the door.
"Where are you going?" He asked appearing right next to her.
Adeline turned to him curious.
"Why do you care?"
She challenged him. Castel furrowed his eyebrows looking at her.
"Dean told you not to go anywhere."
"Yeah, since when am I going to start listening to Dean?"
She breathed walking, Castiel right beside her. They walked the rest of the way to the small convenience store by the motel in silence. Adeline was surprised the angel was still hanging around. She picked out a bag of suckers and grabbed a chocolate bar then turned to Castiel.
"Want anything?" she asked thinking if he wanted something she might as well get it since she was here.
"I have no want of anything."
Adeline rolled her eyes and muttered a suit yourself as she checked out. She opened her bag of suckers and pulled one out and offered one to Castiel.
"I'm an angel of the Lord, I have no need to eat food."
Adeline shrugged her shoulders and tore the wrapper off her sucker before stuffing it in her mouth. She opened the door to her motel room and frowned something was off about the room. Castiel made a move to go into the room but Adeline held out her arm stopping him.
"Hold it Flyboy. Something's different."
Adeline was scanning her eyes over the room so she didn't see Castiel's look of surprise.
She spotted what was bothering her and went over to where she saw some of the motel's wallpaper sticking up some. She pulled it up slowly and stuck her hand inside the small hole in the wall pulling out a hex bag. Castiel walked over to her and Adeline handed him the hex bag.
"How did you know this was in here?"
He asked her confused. Adeline looked up at him and frowned.
"Something just felt off about the room and after looking around I noticed the wallpaper sticking up some and it wasn't when we left." She answered.
"Well, well, A smart Winchester isn't she?"
Adeline spun around at the voice and saw a black man standing by the window.
"I have a gun."
Adeline told him as she pointed it at his back. She looked over at Castiel, saw he wasn't worried, it was then she figured out what he was probably another one if his kind.
"Even if it doesn't kill you, I could just use you as a practice target. I haven't shot this thing for a while, so it could be fun."
Adeline smirked at the angel.
"I don't like the mouth on her, but she certainly has spunk Castiel."
"Adeline, this is Uriel."
Castiel told her as he sat down on the bed. Adeline put her gun away and walked up to Uriel until she was right beside him.
"Want me to draw back the curtains?"
She asked him looking at the sheer white curtains.
"We're waiting."
Uriel told her. Adeline was about to ask for what but she heard the familiar sound of the impala. Ah, she thought leaning against the one side of the window. She heard the door open and Sam shout who are you at Castiel. Adeline smirked, she forgot he hadn't met the angel yet. Dean came in next shouting for Sam to wait.
"It's Castiel...the angel." He answered for Sam.
"Him, I don't know." he continued as he saw Uriel.
"Addy, are you okay?"
Dean asked when he saw her next to Uriel. Adeline turned around and nodded her head.
"Peachy." She told him with an eye roll.
"Hello Sam."
Castiel told him walking over.
"Oh, my God." Sam said amazed at meeting the angel at last.
"Er, uh, I didn't mean to..sorry. It's an honor. Really I-I've heard a lot about you."
Sam told Castiel getting flustered before he finally held his hand out. Castiel looked at it oddly before remembering that humans shook hands when they met someone new.
"And I, you. Sam Winchester the boy with the demon blood. Glad to hear you've ceased your extracurricular activities."
Castiel told him putting his other hand over Sam's. Adeline watched them a bit amused at seeing one of the worst introductions ever.
"Let's keep it that way." Uriel chimed in.
"Yeah, okay Chuckles." Dean said with a glare.
"Who's your friend?" He turned back to Castiel.
"The raising of Samhain, have you stopped it?" Castiel asked instead of answering Dean.
"Why?"
"Dean have you located the witch?"
"Yes, we've located the witch." Dean answered.
"And is the witch dead?" Castiel continued asking.
"No, but we know who it is."
"Apparently, the witch knows who you are, too."
Castiel held up the hex bag Adeline frowned.
"We found this on the inside of your wall if we hadn't found it surely one or all three of you would be dead." Castiel told them.
"How did that get in the wall if Adeline was here the whole time?"
Dean asked then narrowed his eyes at Adeline and saw the bag from the drugstore.
"Damn it Addy, I told you not to leave the room! You could of gotten us killed!"
Adeline glared back and opened her mouth to tell Dean off but Castiel beat her to it.
"Enough Dean! Adeline was the one who found the hex bag and if she had been here when the witch arrived she would most likely have been killed." Castiel told him.
Adeline raised her eyebrow surely I could've taken the witch?
"Do you know where the witch is now?"
Castiel continued. Dean and Sam looked at each other wondering why they cared. It clicked Adeline as to why they were asking when her brother's told the angels they were working on it. She mentally cursed, just our luck another damn seal.
"That's unfortunate."
"What do you care?"
"The raising of Samhain is one of the sixty six seals."
"So this is about your buddy Lucifer." Dean commented.
"Lucifer is no friend of ours." Uriel told them.
"It's just an expression."
Adeline told Uriel before looking back at Castiel and Dean.
"Lucifer cannot rise, the breaking of the seal must be prevented at all costs."
Castiel said as he started walking around the small hotel room.
"Okay. Great. Well, now that you're here, why don't you tell us where the witch is? We'll gank her and everybody goes home."
"We are not omniscient. This witch is very powerful. She's cloaked, even to our methods."
"Okay ,well we already know who she is. So if we work together..."
Sam said joining the conversation before Uriel interrupted him.
"Who are you, and why should I care?"
Dean shouted at him. Uriel turned around slowly to face them all with a disapproving look. Adeline listened as Castiel introduced Uriel and said he was a specialist. Castiel told the three of them to leave the town because they were going to destroy it.
"That's not extreme at all."
Adeline said sarcastically flopping onto Sam's bed listening as the men argued back and forth about destroying the town.
"It's the lives of one thousand against the lives of six billion. There is a bigger picture here even Adeline gets it."
Castiel said referring to Adeline's comment.
"Adeline was being sarcastic!"
Dean shouted not believing he didn't get that from her comment.
"But right, cause, uh you're bigger picture kind of guys."
"Lucifer cannot rise. He does and hell rises with him. Is that something you're willing to risk?" Castiel asked stepping close to Dean.
"We'll stop this witch before she summons anyone. Your seal won't be broken and no one has to die."
Adeline said turning over to face everyone.
"We're wasting time with these mud monkeys." Uriel told Castiel.
"I'm sorry. But we have our orders." Castiel told them turning around slowly.
"No, you can't do this. You…you're angels. I mean aren't you supposed to…you're supposed to show mercy." Sam said getting upset. These were not the angels he had read about and he was disappointed at that.
"Says who?" Uriel asked smugly.
"We have no choice."
Adeline got off the bed and walked over to stand next to Dean.
"Of course you have a choice." She told the stupid angel.
"I mean come on have you never questioned a crap order? What are you both, just a couple of hammers?" Dean added.
"Look even if you can't understand it, have faith. The plan is just."
Adeline couldn't take the talk of them blowing up the town so she went outside figuring she wasn't really needed in the conversation, so she picked up her bag of candy and went outside slamming the door behind her. She snorted when she saw a small astronaut egging Dean's car. She walked until she was standing next to him.
"What did the car ever do to you?" She asked with a smirk.
"The stupid jerk in the car wouldn't give me any candy."
The little boy told her. Adeline leaned against the brick wall with a smirk. That's what Dean gets she thought smugly.
"Can I see an egg?"
She asked the boy. The boy turned to her and looked her up and down.
"Uh, yeah."
He mumbled handing her an egg. Adeline weighed the egg in her hand and aimed for the driver's side of the windshield. It splattered all over and Adeline grinned at the boy who smiled back. She watched as he threw a few more eggs then he came over to her when he was out.
"Good work."
Adeline admired looking at the car. The little boy smiled at her and Adeline reached into her bag and pulled out the king size chocolate bar she had got earlier and she passed it to the boy.
"Happy Halloween. Now if I was you I would get away before the jerk comes back out."
She smirked at him. The boy thanked her before running off. Just in time too Adeline realized as Dean and Sam came out of the apartment.
"Nooo!" Dean shouted as he looked at his baby. "Astronaut!" He shouted angrily at the sky.
Sam looked over at Adeline, "You okay?" He asked her worried about his older sister.
"Peachy, as always Sammy. How about you?" She replied getting into the backseat.
"Disappointed." Sam told her truthfully. "Well let's go gank ourselves a witch." Adeline said as she unwrapped a sucker to lick. There was no way her brother's had agreed with the angel's plan to destroy the town.
