With Ruby dashing out of the diner after their conversation, Leah figured she should probably go back to Bobby's place which reminded her to take out the small piece of paper Bobby gave her and go shopping for things he needed.
"Bobby, what do you eat?" Leah shook her head when she checked the list once again.
List was consisted of various ingredients for potions, banishing spells, summoning rituals…. If anyone else would see this list, they would think man has gone nuts. Leah sighed and went back to the car, deciding she will buy all that stuff back at Bobby's town. The bare road suited her, it allowed her to step on the pedal and push the Dodge to its limit. She was enjoying loud music and the fact everything was practically blur when she hit the breaks all the sudden, trying to avoid the figure that appeared out of nowhere. She stopped right in front of it.
"What the hell?" she muttered when she realized who it was.
It was ten year old girl she was unable to save few years back. The girl had torn grey dress on her, blood specks all over her face and arms. Before she could react, little girl appeared beside her in the car and lunged herself at Leah, going right for her heart. Except, she couldn't reach it. Leah watched as little girl's blank face soon showed confusion and rage.
"What are you?" she shrieked as she tried over and over again to reach Leah's heart.
"Something impossible." Leah murmured and to the little girl's shock, grabbed her hand, effectively stopping her from attacking again.
"And I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry." Leah added, looking straight into a pair of hazel eyes.
"Sáwol wæfreu belæfe." Leah murmured.
With a shriek, the ghost of the little girl vanished in surge of blue light.
"Damn it." Leah muttered, took in a deep breath and started the engine again, hurrying back to check on the boys and Bobby.
Meanwhile, back at Bobby's place, boys and Bobby were locked in the panic room, trying to figure out how these ghosts got here and how to get rid of them. And when Bobby recognized the brand Dean described as mark of the Witness and that being the sign of the Apocalypse, brothers didn't know what to think or feel.
"Leah." Dean muttered angrily, remembering his best friend was out there.
"Yeah, right now she's on her own." Bobby said, diving in the book once again, reading what he needs to put the spirits back where they belong.
"Don't worry man; she can take care of herself." Sam assured his older brother.
"From where I'm standing, it's not very comforting Sam." Dean replied.
On the very entrance of the city, Leah was forced to stop once again. This time, a real, solid figure stood on the road. And he didn't look too happy either. Leah muttered something under her breath and got out.
"Ian, I don't have time right now." She said.
"I take it you got ambushed too." The blonde man replied.
"Yes and I need to get back to Bobby and boys." Leah said.
"So it's true? This is Rising of the Witnesses? Apocalypse?" Ian asked.
"Yes." Leah replied curtly.
"You need to call a meeting. Cause sooner or later, others will find out too." Ian said.
"I already gave a message to Ruby and she went to pass it to others. You're impatient." Leah replied.
"I'm not the one running around with Winchester boys, hunting vampires and ghosts and running away from responsibilities." Ian snapped angrily although he regretted it straight away.
Leah's blank face turned into an angry one and her eyes flashed blue as she got into his face.
"And I think you really need to watch your mouth." She said in dangerously low voice.
"Go to see the others, tell them what's going on and stay there until you get a call for the meeting. Now. Go." She used her best commanding tone, something she didn't like to use but Ian was always a special case.
He threw her an annoyed look and disappeared. Leah calmed down and got back in the car and drove like a maniac to Bobby's house. It looked quiet at first look. Too quiet for Leah's taste. She took out her gun and walked in carefully.
"Bobby!" Leah called out but reply didn't come.
"Dean! Sam!" she shouted.
"Leah?" came Dean's distant voice from the cellar.
"Yeah, it's me. What are you doing down there?" she asked, her eyes scouting the house for ghosts.
"We're coming up. Are there any ghosts up there?" Sam cut in.
"Not so far." Leah replied.
The moment three men appeared upstairs, she breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they were unharmed at the moment.
"I take it you had a run in with a ghost too." Dean stated, pointing to her shirt.
She quickly glanced down to see finger trace on her shirt left by the ghost of the little girl.
"Yeah. Almost gave me a heart attack. I came here as fast as I could." She replied.
"Well, update lady." Dean patted her shoulder quickly as they followed Bobby to the library. "Bobby thinks these ghosts were forced to rise. Rising of the Witnesses. Also known as sign of the….." Leah cut him off. "Apocalypse." She muttered, making three men stare at her.
"What? Never took me for a Bible reader?" she asked as her eyes scoured around for ghosts.
"Erm…. No but let's face it. How many people actually have older versions of the Bible?" Sam asked.
"I do." Leah replied in a matter of fact tone.
"You can discuss that later, idjits. We have work to do." Bobby cut them off.
Leah got separated from them though she figured it was probably for the best, not wishing for others to hear ghost shrieking 'what are you?' as she was not ready to tell her secret yet.
"Do they know?" Leah turned to see young black man walking to her.
"What you are." he added.
"Just go back to your rest." Leah pleaded; she couldn't risk using her powers right now.
"You're a freak. You shouldn't even exist." Man sneered.
"Go away." Leah demanded and fired a salt round into him.
"When they find out, you better pray they won't know how to kill you." He appeared again.
"Will you just…." Leah got cut off by bright blue light that filled the entire house, the spell Bobby did, echoing in her very being, making her shiver as the ghost disappeared.
"Leah, you okay?" Dean called from downstairs.
"Perfect. I'll be right down." She replied, leaned to wall and sank down to the floor as she tried to calm herself, repeating to herself over and over again that nothing the ghost said were true.
Dean and Sam wouldn't do that to her. Right?
AN: The words Leah used to send away the ghost are Old English. Since Leah has a mysterious past, it would include knowing other old languages aside from Latin. Translation is very simple - Restless soul be gone. And thank you ginkies for your review on the last chapter.
