She looked out of the window as they went down the road. She had no idea where they were, she'd lost track when they'd left Georgia. She didn't care either.
"You alright?" Dean asked as he glanced at her in the rear view mirror. She nodded and tore her gaze from the road.
"You sure? I mean, your girl just broke up with you."
"Dean, shut up." she said as she turned back to the window.
"Alright." he replied as he flicked the radio on. Kaylee recognised the song and smiled before she started to hum along.
"Your cruel device, your blood like ice." she sang quietly. Dean looked over at her whilst Sam rolled his eyes.
"Figures." Sam muttered as Dean smiled and sang along.
"Take it you know the song." Dean said as the song continued. Kaylee looked over at him and smiled.
"Well, one of us has to have a good taste in music." she replied making Sam turn and look at her.
"It's neither of you." he said as she sat forwards and swatted his arm. Sam smiled as she sat back and crossed her legs. She continued to sing as Dean picked up the notes and joined in, her voice growing stronger, as they pulled up at a motel.
Sam let her out before opening up the boot and grabbing his bag. Kaylee grabbed her bags as Dean went to the reception and spoke to the lady, who was smoking a pipe. Kaylee raised an eyebrow at the sight as she gave Dean his bag. He smiled and grabbed it as the lady spoke.
"So, which one of you is the third wheel?" she asked as she let out a puff of smoke. Dean and Kaylee shared a glance as Sam stumbled over his words to correct her.
"Oh, no. We're not- we're siblings."
The ladies eyes widened and she put her pipe down as she looked at them closely.
"Well, she don't look like either of you."
"She takes after our mom, can we have a room please?" Dean said quickly as Kaylee brought a hand to her hair.
"I look more like you now than I did when I was blonde." she muttered as the woman grabbed a key from its hook and handed it to Dean.
"We've only got two beds. How long you staying?"
They shared a look then Dean shrugged.
"Two days, we'll pay if its longer."
"Alright, that's $82.16 for the three of you for two nights." she said as she let go of the key. "You've got room 101, it's half way down the row on your left when you leave."
Dean smiled as they left the reception.
"We've got room 101, oh the ghost stories."
"Dean chill. Some of them are probably real. Besides I bet I can tell better." Kaylee replied as Dean looked over at her, Sam rolling his eyes as Dean stopped in front of the small hut.
"It doesn't look haunted Dean." Sam said as Dean opened the door. Dean rolled his eyes and dumped his bag on the floor before looking at the beds.
"I'm still telling them. Whose sharing?" Dean asked as Kaylee and Sam dumped their bags next to Dean's.
"Who fidgets?" Kaylee asked as she took off her jacket. Sam glanced over at Dean who shrugged.
"Looks like it's sweet isolation for me." Dean said as he kicked his bag under his bed. Kaylee picked hers up and put them under the bed whilst Sam lay down on the bed with a long sigh.
Dean looked over at the bags Kaylee had brought with her and watched as she pulled the zip of one of them closed.
"What weapons did you bring with you?" he asked as Kaylee looked up at him and smiled. She unzipped the bag and pulled it onto the bed. Sam sat up behind her and looked over her shoulder.
"A few things." she said as she pulled out a metal rectangle that was the length of her forearm. Dean raised an eyebrow whilst Sam pulled out a small quiver of arrows.
"Arrows?" Sam asked as he pulled one out and looked at it, spinning it over his fingers.
"No bow?" Dean asked as she held the metal piece up, before she realised that they didn't understand what it was and unfolded it, screwing the limbs on and sorting out the string.
"That is the tiniest bow I have seen." Sam said whilst Dean looked at it incredulously as she put it back and took the quiver from Sam.
"I've got iron tipped arrows, silver arrows, ones coated in dead man's blood, some that explode on impact, others that are filled with holy water. The lot. Plus a sawn of shotgun with cartridges both normal and salt as well as a pistol."
"I thought our armoury was good. Damn, you out gun us."
"Not really, I saw your boot, I do not out gun you. I also have two small daggers, one silver and one iron. Oh and my journal." she said as she put her things back in the bag before looking over at Sam who had put a hand on her shoulder.
"You know, I think you'll do just fine."
"Well thank fuck for that, cause I've only scraped by on miracles before."
Dean smirked as she got up and stretched her aching muscles.
"So, you gonna tell us these stories whilst I brake out the scotch I brought?"
"You brought whisky?" Sam asked with a laugh as she nodded and pulled it out of her other bag.
"Kay, you're 1-"
"Dean I'm 34 not a kid. I am allowed alcohol." she replied as she undid the lid and waved it under his nose. "Besides it's your favourite." she said as she sat down. Dean looked her in the eye then got up and grabbed a couple of glasses from the small kitchen they had.
She poured some into the glass as he sat down, Sam watching over her shoulder as she stopped just short of three fingers on Dean's glass. She then poured one for Sam and herself whist Sam sat up properly.
"Why do you have whisky?" Dean asked as he took a slug.
"Why not? My girlfriend just broke up with me, and it's my whisky." she replied as she sipped hers.
"Why are we out here Dean?" Sam asked, steering the topic away from every reason that they should be drinking.
"Vampires been using this place as a diner, scope it out then find the bastards." Dean replied.
"Guess I get to use my holy water arrows and my dead man's blood."
"Yeah, guess you do."
Kaylee finished her glass and poured herself another one before screwing on the lid and putting it under her bed.
"So basically we catch as much sleep as we can then stay up all night?" Kaylee asked, Dean nodded and she took a sip of the whisky. "Well then, lets get some sleep." she said as she finished her glass after a pause and handed the glass to Dean as he got up.
They slept until the sun had started to set. Kaylee had somehow ended up curled in a ball at Sam's side, his arm laying over her. The alarm went off as the sun glinted off the mirror.
"You gonna shut that up?" Dean asked as he rolled over and got up. He looked over at Kaylee as she started to stir, Sam gently moving his arm as he woke up and turned off the alarm. Sam sat up and gently prodded Kaylee's side as she sat up. She stretched and grabbed something from her bag before getting up and going to the bathroom.
"It feels weird, looking out for both of you." Dean said as he sat up and pulled on a shirt. Sam nodded as he got up and grabbed his boots, tying them up quickly as Kaylee came out of the bathroom and grabbed her bag.
"We going, actually, what's our plan?" Kaylee asked as she took out the two daggers and placed her bow in a holster strapped to her waist. Sam and Dean looked between each other before speaking.
"Sorry Kay, but we're using you as bait. You're this bastards type and your phone has a chip in so we can find you."
Kaylee paused in her actions and looked at them.
"I'm-? Okay, fine. Where should I hang out to get their attention?" she asked as she continued picking out the arrows from her bag.
"This place has a bar, he often picks off people from there, takes them back to his place from what I am aware." Sam continued as Dean got up and grabbed the revolver from the side of his bed.
"We'll be in the bar, we'll tail you five blocks behind. If you get in trouble just scream." Dean said as she placed the arrows in the quiver hung from her belt. She nodded and threw on her leather jacket, the coat covering the weapons.
"I'll be going then." she said as she turned to leave before turning back and catching the phone that Sam had seen left on the side and had thrown at her. She smiled and left, her hand moving the bow and arrows aside as she left the room.
Dean followed quickly, Sam getting up and grabbing his coat and a machete as he left. Dean nudged Sam as they entered the bar, gesturing with his chin at Kaylee who was stood next to the bar, a man circling her.
"I think he found her." Dean said in a whisper.
"Yeah, what gave it away?" Sam asked with a smirk as she turned her back against the bar as she followed him with her eyes.
"Well aren't you just darling." he said with a drawl she couldn't quiet place. She smirked and watched him with her blue eyes as he walked over to the bar and leant next to her.
"I know I am. You're not so bad yourself."
The man smiled and turned to look around the bar.
"Are you aware that there are two men other than me looking at you?" he asked. Kaylee looked around the room quickly and rested her eyes on Sam and Dean.
"Yeah, I owe them some money, but they wont come and claim it if I'm with someone." she said as he turned back to her with a raised eyebrow,
"Oh really? Why do you owe them money?"
"I lost a bet to them, something about a Tuesday and a pig in a poke, I can't remember it was years ago."
"And they're still after you?"
"It was a lot of money I lost, or am meant to have lost."
"We should get you out of here then, you can crash at my place if you like." He suggested. Kaylee nodded and finished her drink.
"If they know I am here they probably know my room number. Shall we go then?" she asked as she turned to leave the bar. The man nodded and followed her out, leading her down an alleyway.
"I should probably ask your name seeing as I am about to crash at your place." she said, prompting him to speak.
"My name is Alfie, though my friends call me Alpha."
"Why do they call you alpha?" she asked with a laugh.
"It's a nickname that stuck." he said as they continued down the alley. He turned to look at her before speaking again.
"And your's, if I may be so bold?"
"You may. My name's Kaylee Winchester." she said with a smirk as his face fell and he opened his mouth slightly.
"As in Sam and Dean Winchester?"
She nodded as he whistled, loud and piercingly, and jumped at her, forcing her against the wall. She raised her knee quickly and kicked him in the groin with it as he brought his mouth down to her neck. She frowned and quickly brought up her arm, pushing him away with her forearm as Sam and Dean rounded the corner. Dean shot at him as Sam ran forwards and checked her over to make sure he didn't bite her.
"Sam, Sammy I'm fine." she replied quickly to his unspoken question. She pulled the man up and looked him in the eye.
"Now tell me, did you just call the rest of your pack?" she asked as she pulled out the silver knife she'd strapped to the top of her thigh and pressed it against his throat. He struggled and she pressed it against his wind pipe.
"Answer me."
"You bet I did. They've caught your scent now too little girl. You're not getting away."
"Maybe I don't want to." she replied as she pressed harder and cut his head off. Dean fired another shot as a vampire rounded the corner. Kaylee and Sam looked over at him before she looked above them.
"They've caught my scent, you guys run."
"What do you mean they've caught your scent? They can only track you if your bleeding. As far as I am aware none of us are wounde- oh. For god's sake. Really?"
"Like I can help it. I'll lure them round to the impala, you guys go get ready."
Sam and Dean shared a look before she started to run away from them. The vampires ran after her as they watched her unfold her bow. Sam hit Dean in the chest to get his attention.
"She said to go to the impala, we should go."
Dean nodded mutely as she loosed an arrow, the dead man's blood coated arrow passing through and through their head. Dean smirked as the vampires hissed and ran faster. She smiled and sprinted around he corner as Dean and Sam ran to the car, opening the boot hurriedly.
She ran past them as they got ready Dean beheading one of them as they ran past. The vampires stopped and snarled at them as Kaylee started to climb onto the roof of the nearest cabin. Sam raised his machete and went after one whilst another grabbed his back and pulled him over. Kaylee cursed as her grip slipped and she almost fell.
Dean pulled the vampire off of Sam and went to cut it's head off but it moved. Kaylee stood up on the roof and readied her bow, aiming for the vampires head and loosing the arrow. Dean turned back to her and smiled as the vampire hit the floor, dead.
"Pay attention Dean." she called as he nodded and turned back. A few vampire split from them and started after her. She loaded another arrow and fired at the first. They moved the arrow burst on the floor, blood spilling on the floor.
"Is that what you have been shooting at us girl?" one of them asked as they appeared next to her. She turned and hit them with the arm of her bow, reaching for her knife before turning and cutting their head off.
"I'm thirty four, will people stop calling me girl?" she asked as the others started to circle her, too close for her archery to be any good.
"Maybe when you prove yourself to be anything but." one of them suggested before running at her and grabbing her from behind. She turned and slashed with her knife, pulling the other one out as she turned. They ducked the first knife. They didn't the second, their head rolled onto the floor.
Another grabbed her from behind, a woman who had clearly held a job in a high place, and pressed her teeth against her neck, drawing blood. Kaylee tensed and tried to turn out of the woman's grip only to fall into a headlock.
"Give up little girl."
"Oh come on." Kaylee said with an exasperated sigh as she dropped one of her knives, the other she loosened the hold on.
"Sam!" Dean yelled below them making Sam turn. They watched as Kaylee went to drop the knife only to turn it on herself and plunging it into her side. The vampire gasped and let her go, placing a hand on the wound as she turned around and grabbed the other knife. Dean saw the blade glint from her back, covered in blood from both of them.
Kaylee jumped at them and using the iron dagger cut their head off before falling to the floor and gasping for breath. The other vampires jumped at her as Sam and Dean started up to the roof, following the path she had taken, the wooden frame creaking under their weight.
"Shit, hurry." Sam said as Dean reached the top and reached for Kaylee. Dean hacked his way through the vampires before reaching her and pulling her up. Kaylee let out a low groan but stood on her feet as she reached around the blade carefully, not pulling it out but considering it. She grabbed her other knife again and started to cut her way through, being pushed and pulled as they fought back.
"We need to fall back, there are more than I thought." Dean said. She shook her head.
"They've caught my scent, they wont give up, why should we?" she asked as she turned around and looked at the remaining vampires. There were about four left, all of them looking like they were thinking about running.
One of them stepped forwards and Sam and Dean got ready. Kaylee watched him closely as he raised his hands.
"Kill me."
Dean looked at him before turning to look at Sam then back.
"What? Why?"
"I killed my family, I'm a monster. Please."
Dean hesitated. Kaylee didn't and she cut his head off. They watched as it hit the floor and rolled over to the others. They looked at it before shaking their heads.
"We'll leave you. Let us bury them and we will forget your scent."
"How can we trust you?" Sam asked as he lowered his machete, not putting it away though. Kaylee stumbled slightly as her blood level fell.
"You can't afford not to. If we fight much longer she will die. Besides you killed both of our leaders, we never wanted this life. Do you have any idea how many wars I have seen, how many I have participated in. I will leave you be you have my word." they said, the others nodding.
"Thank you." Sam said as Kaylee stumbled and almost fell. Dean grabbed her quickly and pulled her to him. She smiled her thanks as they started down the way they had come, Sam going first.
He did a brake fall then gestured for Dean to drop her. He caught her and brought her to his chest tightly before she tapped his shoulder hard and winced.
"Impaled remember." she said. Sam loosened his hold then helped Dean up as he ran to the car.
"We need to take her to the hospital."
"And say what, it's my knife and I want it back." she asked as they laid her down in he back seat. She watched them as they got in the car, Sam ducking inside before turning to look at her. She smiled back, her eyes heavy lidded.
"Don't fall unconscious, stay with us Lee."
She nodded at Dean as Sam turned on the radio, turning it up loud. She winced at the sound but she understood what they wanted her to do. She started to sing along as they went down the road.
Her voice grew quiet as they turned into the hospital, her eyes falling closed.
"Lee. Stay with us Lee." Sam said, hitting her gently. She reacted slowly, her eyes staying closed. "Dean we're losing her."
"Shit." Dean muttered under his breath as he pulled up and opened his door quickly. Sam quickly followed and pulled open the back door as Dean grabbed something from the boot.
Sam picked her up, his arms reaching under her back and legs as he pulled her out. They walked as fast as they could to the doors of the hospital, Kaylee's head drooping against Sam's chest. The door opened automatically and Dean was already calling for help by the time they got inside.
"What happened?" a nurse asked, her voice barely audible to Kaylee. Dean replied, glossing over the fact that they had started the fight, as she fought for consciousness. The nurse yelled for someone and then Sam was putting her onto a bed, both of them following after her before someone stopped them.
"Can I ask what her name is? Does she have any allergies?" a man asked, a tablet in his hand. Sam looked over at Dean who had stopped. Just stopped. Sam replied instead, looking at his hands before shoving them in his pockets.
"Her name is Kaylee Winchester, I don't think she has any allergies." he glanced at Dean to see if he knew of any that he didn't, Dean was looking at the man blankly.
"Okay, and your relation to her? How do you know her?"
"She's our sister." Dean said, braking out of the trance he had gone into. Sam glanced at him before nodding. Dean looked down the hall before asking.
"What's going to happen to her now?"
"She has to go into surgery to get the knife removed. Might I ask how she came by getting stabbed?" he asked, consulting his tablet as he asked the question.
"She got mugged, she carried it around for safety especially this late at night, she drew it they grabbed it and stabbed her." Dean lied.
"Yeah, so she would like it back." Sam added on.
"And the other weapons? The bow and arrows?"
"She was training for a competition." Sam replied as the nurse nodded.
"Alright, thank you. Sit down." he said as he gestured at the cheap green seats that filled the room. Dean sat down reluctantly, resting his hands on his knees and hanging his head. Sam sat down next to him and twiddled his thumbs.
It was two hours before a nurse stood in front of them.
Sam looked up first and noticed the deep scratched in her uniform. It wasn't the nurse that had offered them a seat, instead it was a nurse that had pale skin and wore a hijab. She had blood on her uniform and her eyes looked haunted.
"Your sister is out of surgery." she said flatly before turning and walking back. Sam stood up quickly and walked to catch up.
"Are you alright?" he asked, his eyes on the marks on her shoulder.
"I am fine. Kaylee Winchester however, she seems to have left the building and gotten a one way ticket to her personal hell. Follow me." she replied as she led them to a room.
As soon as she opened the door Sam was covering his ears.
"NO! STOP, PLEASE! NO! FUCK YOU!" she screamed, her voice taut and pained. Dean walked towards her and gently held her hand, sitting down next to the bed.
"Shh, Kay. It's fine, you're safe." Dean said quietly, hoping that she could hear him. Sam entered the room and turned to thank the nurse but she was gone. Sam shrugged and walked over to Kaylee.
"Dean? What are you doing here? NO. STOP! IT HURTS! DEANY, PLEASE."
Dean's eyes widened and he let go of her hand, looking at her as her hands pulled at the cover under her. Sam looked up at Dean as he got up and left the room, pulling out his phone.
"Lee." Sam said, his voice quiet as he rubbed the back of her hand. "If you can hear me can you stop screaming?" he asked.
"Sammy?" her voice dropped to a hoarse whisper. "What are you doing? No put that down. No, Sammy please." her voice turned into a whimper as she curled in on herself.
"She shouldn't be able to move." the nurse said as she stepped into the room with a needle in hand. Sam looked up as she walked over and forced the needle in to the crook of her elbow.
"She's used to anaesthetic. She's been in a lot of accidents." Sam said as he looked at the scars that littered her arms and legs from her life before. The nurse simply nodded.
"I guessed. I mean, how many times has she tried to kill herself and been patched up. I know how much anaesthetic that takes, done a few of those myself."
"I don't know. I haven't known her for that long."
The nurse raised an eyebrow.
"But she's your sister."
"She was raised by our uncle after our mom died. I was six months old. We met her again about two days ago."
"Huh." she replied as she stood up straight and waited for her to stop screaming before she smiled.
"I have to go, besides I think you brother's back." she said as she reached for the door.
Dean walked in past her and leant against the wall, glaring at her.
"Okay I'll bite, what's wrong?"
"Other than my sister being in hospital? Nothing, everything's peachy."
"Dean."
"I called Cas, he's on his way."
"And? What else?" Sam asked as he glanced at Kaylee. Dean stood up straight and took a few steps towards the chair, running a hand through her hair.
"And, Sam, she was in hell."
"She- what?"
"That's what she was screaming about, I didn't realise then, but I tortured her. Back when I was in hell, she was there for two and a half years or so. Then I was pulled out."
"So you're saying she died? That she was in hell?" Sam asked as he looked down at Kaylee who was shaking slightly.
"Yes. I have no clue how she got out though." Dean replied as wind rippled through the room.
"Why did you call me here Dean?" Cas asked as he walked towards Dean, his eyes never leaving Kaylee.
"How did she get out of hell?" Dean asked as Sam turned back to Kaylee who was starting to wake up. She started to mutter the same word over and over again, please.
"Who is she?" Cas asked as he stepped closer to her, taking in her brown hair and her tanned skin that was covered in scars.
"She's our sister. Kaylee."
"Kaylee Winchester, the name rings a bell. She died in a car crash I think. She got pulled into hell because she believes in other gods. That and she tried to kill herself a couple of times."
"We get that she died, how did she get out?" Dean asked as he crossed his arms. Kaylee coughed and stopped talking, blinking her eyes.
"One of the other angels must have pulled her out, she's your sister and a vessel."
"Wait, she's a vessel?" Dean asked as Sam looked at them. "Whose?"
"It is unclear, she is not a true vessel if that is any comfort." Cas said as he watched her roll over and look at the wound in her chest. She looked around the room then, glancing at each of them before looking at Cas.
"Who are you?" she asked, her voice tight as she looked at him, her blue eyes squinting against the light.
"I am Castiel, and angel of the lord."
She scoffed and pushed herself up before wincing.
"Of course you ar- okay you're touching me." she said as Cas placed a hand on her stomach. She closed her eyes as the pain became overwhelming before it passed.
"What did you do?" she asked as he stepped back.
"I healed you." he said as Kaylee struggled to get up, Sam helping her and gesturing for Cas to do so as well.
"Well then, I guess were just in time to give you another beating." an unfamiliar voice said. Dean turned and looked at them as the vampires walked towards them.
"You said you would forget her scent."
"Did I? Did you really trust a vampire Dean Winchester?" they asked with a tilt to their head that implied that they had no intention what so ever to forget their scent.
"No, not really. Good thing too." he said as he grabbed Kaylee's knife from the side and slashed the at the first one. They recoiled and walked into his next swing, their head rolling on the floor. The remaining two jumped at him and pushed him against the wall, one of them pressing their fangs against his neck.
Cas let go of Kaylee and pressed his hands against the back of their heads. Dean watched as their eyes went white then they fell to the floor.
"Thanks Cas." he said with a smirk. "Where would I be without my little angel?"
"Probably dead somewhere." Cas replied as he walked back over to Kaylee. Sam smiled as Dean shook his head.
"We should leave before someone comes to check in on her." Cas said before they appeared in the car.
"Oh jeez." Kaylee said as she doubled over and looked like she was about to throw up.
"You alright?" Sam asked.
"Warning next time so I can take the motion sickness tablets." Kaylee replied before sitting up. "I'm fine."
"Thank god for that." Dean said as he started the car.
"I'm sorry by the way."
"What for, stabbing yourself?"
"Yeah I guess. Gods, periods are a pain in the neck." she said before realising the play on words and grinning.
"You didn't." Dean said with a smirk.
"Oh but she did." Sam replied as he started to laugh.
"I don't get it." Cas said only making them fall further into laughter.
