Cas wondered how long he and Dean had been in Purgatory. Time worked differently here, it was unlikely Dean had noticed this however. for his perception it must seem similar. But Cas knew better. The sun rises and the sun sets but it is an illusion. as are the trees and the grass. All of it was the creation of God's imagination. None of it real. Except the creatures. They were real enough. They remembered Dean, smelled him the moment he arrived and came running for blood.
Foolish and naive creatures.
Cas fought them off easily enough. To begin with. Dean's screams for help and Castiel's return echoed through the darkness as his white knight cloaked in beige fought of the nightmares.
Sam was shaken by the knock. Garth was asleep and Kevin was at Sam's laptop when it happened.
Who could possibly know where they were?
The stranger thumped hard on the door once again.
Gun out, safety off.
"Open up Winchesters! I hear you need all the help you can get!" a woman shouted.
Sam looked questioningly at Garth, now woken from his stupor. He shook his head in reply.
"Who's out there?" Sam asked tentatively through the closed door, tensing his finger against the trigger.
"You don't have to be so distrusting Sammy, I'm a hunter I'm here to help."
Sam opened the door on the chain. peering out at the visitor. She was a startling sight. Black jeans and high laced boots, leather jacket and gloves complete with bike helmet under one arm. she stared back at him with her blazing orange eyes. "I'm Char, nice job with the Leviathan by the way."
"I'm sorry who are you again?" Sam asked lowering his weapon slightly behind the door.
"I'm Charlotte Colt. Our families, particularly your mothers side and a long time ago have a hell of a history." she replied in an as-if-you-didn't-know sort of tone which threw Sam off his guard. "Run all the tests if you want; salt, holy water et-cetera I'm clean big guy."
Sam unchained the door an opened it slowly. Garth, now up and alert stood nearby with holy water and a silver blade. "Don't remember me Garth?" she quipped as he continued to perform the necessary checks. "Can't say I do 'mam." he replied nodding to Sam. "She wasn't lying." Sam frowned. it may be good that she is human. But how she find them?
