I sat in the airport with one suitcase in front of me. I hadn't had time to pack more and most of what I needed would have to be bought when I got back to America, it wouldn't be allowed on the plane anyway.
"Great" I muttered as I looked up at the board and saw that my flight would be delayed by two hours.
"That wasn't much of a goodbye" a voice came from behind me and I knew it was Alvin before I even turned around. I was a little surprised to see Tobey next to him
I forgot how mad I'd been at Alvin and I stood and threw my arms around him "I'm so sorry" I said
"Me too"
I loosened my grip on him "Does that mean you believe me?"
"I don't know" he told me "but either way I'm here, you can thank Tobey, he talked me round"
I'd forgotten Tobey was stood there "Thank you" I hugged him
"It sounds a little crazy but who knows what else is out there besides me? And I trust you Katie. Anyway I'm going to get some coffee, do you two want anything?"
"No thanks" I said
Tobey left and I sat back down, Alvin joined me
"Are you and Tobey coming with me?"
"For a detective it took you long enough to work that out" he smiled at me before he went on to say "You didn't give me much of a chance you know? You just told me about demons and hunters and because I didn't buy it straight away you left"
"I'm sorry"
"Haven't I always been here for you?"
"Of course you have"
"But what happened with the window in my office?" he changed the subject "Why do I get the feeling you did that?"
"Because I did"
"That's the kind of thing I should have known about someone I took in as my own family 15 years ago"
""Well I wasn't advertising the fact that I'm a freak"
"What?" Alvin looked surprised "Having telekinesis doesn't mean you're a freak Katie"
"Telekinesis?"
"Tobey told me about that's what it's called"
"I've never labelled it, but I've usually managed to stop myself from using it…"
"Why?"
"Because I don't like how it makes me feel"
Tobey came back with a coffee and sat down at the other side of me
"How did you guys even find out where I was going?" I asked
"Alvin thought you might me going back to the US, and Dev did a little computer hacking and found your flight reservation so then we knew for sure"
"I should be mad, but thank you, both of you, I'm glad you're here"
Tobey leaned forwards and gently squeezed my hand. Alvin pretended to look away.
"If it turns out this is real, then we can't let you face it alone" Tobey assured me
"Ok" Alvin began "I'll go along with this, so tell me what's the big emergency?"
"My mum was psychic" I began as I pulled her journal out of my case "she wrote all this before it happened"
Tobey took the journal from me
"What is it?" Alvin asked
"Predictions, mostly about my distant cousins Sam and Dean Winchester, they're hunters too. I've never met them but I've read this journal so many times it feels like I know them sometimes"
"There's a lot in here" Tobey turned the pages "How come you knew all this would happen but never stepped in until now?"
"I thought about it but my mum said I had to wait until the last entry before I stepped in"
Alvin reached over me and snatched the journal from Tobey.
He was silent for a few minutes while he read then he said "Dean Winchester gets sent to purgatory three days from now and then nothing, your mum didn't write anything after that"
"She wants me to stop it" I said "Before you ask I have no idea how but I know I have to do something and I know this sounds crazy if you don't believe me, or dangerous if you do believe me so that's why I'll understand if you don't want to go with me"
"Hey" Tobey took hold of my hand and looked me in the eye "I'm not letting you go on your own, if anything happens to you that I could have stopped…"
"Thanks" I said as I turned to look at Alvin, I was aware that Tobey was still holding my hand
"What he said" Alvin told me "And do me a favour"
"Anything"
"When we get to Texas, you two get a room"
I blushed as I pulled my hand away and glared at Alvin.
