So genius Story from anna3311234 this is our baby, thank you for all of the lovely reviews, hope you like this chapter :-)

The scene kept changed so quickly, one second it was pitch black so much so she couldn't see her own hand if she put it in front of her face, then next, there would be fire, burning and scorching around her filled with agonised screams. Then she would see a man, his form falling through fire and his voice shouting out the same name, always the same name "Mary!" the longing in his voice making her chest ache, a pair of piercing green eyes filled with pain "Mary!..."

Sarah shot up out of bed, gasping for air, sweat dripping down her body as she scrubbed her face with her hands trying her best to shake of the rest of the dream. Sarah had had this dream for as long as she could remember and every time she woke up there was a horrible ache in her chest, it was always there but after her dream it almost hurt.

Sarah jumped with the sound of the motel door opening but breathed easy seeing it was Sam,

he frowned seeing how frightened she looked

"Sarah, are you ok?" she shook her head to clear away the rest of the dream and smiled

"Yeah Sam I'm fine, bad dream" she finished, Sam nodded understandingly.

Sarah had had these dreams for years, for as long as she had been with the Winchesters, so Sam knew not to push her for details, she never liked talking about them.
"What are you doing up anyway?" Sarah asked, her, Sam and Dean had only left Bobby's a few days ago after Sam had to go through the withdrawls for demon blood, so him being up and out with that demon bitch Ruby still kicking wasn't a good sign.

"I couldn't sleep, I was right outside" Sam answered trying is best to keep a straight face. He was just right outside what he wasn't telling Sarah was that Ruby had come to him. The last of Lucifer's seals were being broken left, right and centre he knew Dean and Sarah didn't think he could do this but he could, he could end all of this.

Sarah nodded but didn't like the to sincere expression on his face, she hated the way things were now between the three of them, all their easy banter a half distant memory and the tension between Sam and Dean was unreal, she could still remember when John had brought her to meet them and some of her life before hand, though them memories were not ones she tried to hold strong to.

Flashback

She huddled behind the closet door in the guest bedroom of their home, afraid of when Mommy and Daddy would walk in looking for her because they weren't her parents that much she knew. She remembered on her last day of school before the summer break they had forgotten to pick her up, so she had walked home, running up the porch steps excited about telling her Mommy how she was a big girl, that she made sure to look both ways before crossing the road but when she walked into the kitchen there was no one there.

Sarah trembled in the closet when she heard the stairs creak, that day she had come home from school her parents had only come home when it was dark out, they were angry then and have been since.

"Sarah?..." her Mommy's sweet voice sang "...Come on out Sarah, we need you back down stairs"

Sarah whimpered and felt tears trickle down her face as she tried to stay quiet, sometimes if they couldn't find her they would leave her alone. But the times they did find her, they hurt her, her Mommy and Daddy had even started to use the dangerous knife to cut her arms.

"Sarah! I'm losing my patients darling, Mommy and Daddy need you..."

Sarah buried her face in her arms, shaking with silent sobs, straining to hear if the person who was her Mommy was close, but she couldn't hear anything. Suddenly the door was wrenched open, Sarah screamed as rough hands grabbed at her arms, she flailed and twisted to get away finally the hands caught a handful of her hair and dragged her out of the room and down the landings. Sarah panicked again seeing that she was going to be dragged down the stairs again, she struggled to stand

"Please Mommy, I'll walk, I promise.."

"Oh no, my dear you see you should have come when we called"

With that she flung Sarah in front of her watching with a sadistic smile as the child rolled down the stair, crying and screaming out.

Sarah cried out as she tried to stand, her arm hurt her so much and she couldn't move her fingers, her Daddy walked around to her then, his eye's black again as he grabbed her and started to pull her outside, unlocking all the latches on the front door as her Mommy followed behind them

"Shut that rotten little thing up" her Mommy spat

"What do you want me to do about it, we only need her a few more hours so stop whining"

Sarah cowered in the back of the car both her parents eyes were black again, she hated when they did that, it scared her.

After a few minutes in the car they pulled up outside an old warehouse that was fenced off outside of town. Sarah's Mommy and Daddy had always told her to stay away from this place, they had said it was dangerous.

Her parents got out of the car, her Daddy reaching in and pulling Sarah out only to drag her into the warehouse, he kept dragging her until he pulled open a rickety door, he throw Sarah into a small dark room and shut the door.

Sarah scrambled to put her back to the wall trying to move as far away from the door as she could but listened to see if they were still there.

"Fuck I can't wait to get rid of that little shit. I'm sick of having to keep her alive" she heard her Daddy say

"Relax would you, we do the ritual tonight and we're done"

Sarah knew that these thing's that looked like her Mommy and Daddy weren't really her parents but hearing them talk like that scared her so much, she cradled her arm to her chest and cried to herself in the small dark room.

What felt like hours later Sarah heard the door bang open making her tremble again but when the noise of the footsteps moved past the door she got curious, scuttling forward Sarah looked out the key hole in the door seeing nothing at first. As she waited a man moved into the middle of the room, he looked scary then she saw he was holding a gun like her cartoons used to.

She gasped and cried out before she could stop herself and the man whipped around to face the door she was behind marching over to it. Sarah cried harder and pushed herself to the back of the small room curling in on herself to try to hide from the scary man.

The door flew open and she heard the man gasp "Jesus..." he whispered, Sarah stayed the way she was head buried under her arms, shaking waiting to be hurt by the strange man, she jumped at the feeling of a hand on her arm

"Hay...hay I'm not gonna hurt you sweetheart..." the man coaxed gentle, Sarah peeked up over the top of her arms seeing the man crouched two feet away from her hands up as a sign he wouldn't touch her again "...what's your name sweetheart?" Sarah didn't answer, still fixing the man in front of her with a terrified gaze. She saw him look at her properly and shake his head "...Your hurt honey, I want to get you out of here ok? I'm John" Sarah didn't want to stay here any more and she definitely didn't want to see her Mommy and Daddy again so she nodded her head and slowly unfolded herself.

"Alright honey, come on" John reached out to lift Sarah into his arms but she gasped out in pain, John paused and looked at her again his eyes fixed to her right arm, seeing it discoloured and swollen, his jaw clenched but he kept his face and voice gentle.

"I won't hurt you but we need to get you safe, I'll see if we can fix your arm, how does that sound?"

Sarah nodded again and crawled towards John, not saying anything as he carefully lifted her into his arms. He walked quickly out to his car and carefully places the girl in the passenger side of the car buckling her in before gunning the engine and high tailing it back to Bobby's, sending up silent thanks that he had left the boys there this time.

Sarah studied the man next to her in the car, if he wanted to hurt her he would have but he didn't, he was taking her away from her black-eyed Mommy and Daddy.

"Hay sweetheart, do you know who did this to you?" John asked softly, she nodded, "Who was it honey?"

"Mommy and Daddy...but they weren't really my Mommy and Daddy...they had black eye's" John's hands tightened on the wheel he had been afraid that it was someone she knew, he had only seen this one other time and at first he hadn't believed it, her parents were possessed, this kid has had the people who were supposed to protect her do shit like this to her.

Sarah stayed quiet until the man stopped the car, he heard another man's voice outside the car and she started to tremble, when he peaked in the car she jumped and felt tears well in her eyes. She paused though when she heard a little boys voice

"Dad!...Your back, Sammy dad's back" Sarah heard the sound of feet beating off the ground and sat up so she could see out of the window, when she did she saw two boys one taller with a freckled face and blonde hair the other smaller with a mop of brown hair, the man John was whispering to them as he did they both shot a look at the car making her duck back down into the car.

She heard the door open and saw John again, he was crouch down at the opening of the door the other man and the two boy's right behind him, the taller boy smiled kindly at her the younger one looking at her curiously. Sarah scurried back to the other side of the car's bench seat, her back hitting the other door. The taller boy tapped John on the shoulder, motioning for him to move out-of-the-way as he slid into the car, Sarah cringed when he reached out for her so he pulled his hand back

"I'm Dean, that's my dad and that's Sam. This is Bobby's house and my dad said you were really hurt. You could come in with me and Sam, let them patch you up?"

Sarah didn't answer just looked at Dean warily not answering him.

"What's your name?" Dean asked, Sarah bit her lip but looked up at him

"Sarah" she whispered her voice cracking, Dean beamed at her

"Sarah...Ok, will you let us help you?"

Sarah nodded and let Dean take her hand, following after the two adults into Bobby's house, Sam flanking Sarah along with Dean

Sarah shivered with the memories of those times with her possessed parents but couldn't help smiling at the memories of her first week with Sam and Dean, they had been so nice, taking care of her and trying to make her laugh. Since then they've been like family, Dean easily taking on the protective older brother bit for Sam and her. So the way things were now was hard for her, the two brothers had so much tension between them that she had to be careful what she said around each. She loved them so much but if they put her in the middle of an argument again she'd start swinging hooks.

Sarah tried her best to go back asleep but with Sam wide awake in the room and Dean's snoring it was a lost cause, so she got up grabbed her gear for a shower and went to the bathroom. Hearing the door shut, Dean woke up and looked around the room, he saw Sarah's bed empty and Sam sitting up at the table scrubbing his face with his hands.

"Sammy? Where's Sarah?" he asked voice still gruff from sleep

"Bathroom, she had another nightmare" Sam sighed

"Again, that's every night this week dude. She's getting them more now than she ever has"

"I know man but what can we do? I mean she's been having them years now and doesn't talk about it" Dean sighed roughly, he knew that Sam and himself had fought more and it was hurting her, they had pulled her into more than one argument, maybe it was that. Sam had thought the same thing, Sarah had always been sensitive to the brother's relationship, the time he went away to Stanford had been tough on her. He felt a wave of guilt hit him, if either of them knew he was still seeing Ruby they would be devastated and Dean would kill him.

Dean kicked off the covers of the bed and started getting dressed resigned to the fact that he wouldn't be sleeping any more, it had been hard enough as it was to get a few hours with all shit hitting the fan now. Cas would not let up about his time to shine coming up and having to watch Sam all the time was killing him, he couldn't trust him to stick to the plan, Sam was gunning for revenge and he had it set in his mind that demon blood was the road to doing it.

"I'm going to go get some breakfast, be back soon" With that Dean left the room quietly but stilled outside the room door pausing and taking a lungful of air, he could have sworn he smelled something like rotting eggs there for a moment but when he didn't get it again he sighed, god I'm paranoid over nothing now... rolling the tension out of his shoulders he walked to his baby and started her up.

Sarah stayed under the warm shower water trying to wash off the remnants of her dream, as horrible as the fire and screaming always was she would sometimes feel a crushing loss when she woke, as if she had waited to see those beautiful green eyes before the dream became too much and she shot awake. She couldn't remember when these dreams started but it felt like she had always had them, they were getting worse though, more intense and just more... Sarah sighed and habitually twisted the ring on her finger looking down she pulled it up to her face studying the silver band for the thousandth time. She had it all her life could remember finding it under the tree in their back garden when she was only a baby girl. And the necklace was the same she couldn't even remember where she found it but it had been hers all her life.

Sarah heard the front door close and sighed hoping that didn't mean Sam was on the missing list again or that the two boys had fought. She was so tired of them arguing, tired of all this apocalypse and broken seals, now that there was only the one seal left the pressure was on and Sam was more determined than ever to get to Lilith. Sarah shuddered at the memory of the last time they had all been in the same room as that demon, Sarah could feel the darkness pulsing off of her but she stopped that memory in its tracks not able to think of the time the hell hounds came for Dean.

Sarah had a secret of her own, something even the boys didn't know about her and she would do her best to keep it that way. She could always feel dark energy more than just fine tuned hunting instincts which is what Sam and Dean though it was. But it was more than that, it was as if she was the polar opposite of that dark energy and sometimes she can feel her body get so charged up that it had to be more than adrenalin. Plus there had been a few times where Sarah had been so angry at the evil creature in question that her touch had burned it, literally left burn marks.

The first time it happened Sam, Dean and herself had hunted a shapeshifter, their first one actually, they split up to talk to different witnesses and as she shook the supposed police officers hand, he had screamed out, smoke rising from his hand and then attacked her. Sarah had no idea what had happened or why until he started spouting out crap about how he nearly had her and that he was going to kill her all the usual shite. After they had fought, Sarah winning by loading a round of silver bullets into his chest she had a proper look at his hand, seeing it raw, red and cracked but her own perfectly fine.

That hadn't been the last time something like that had happened but she never told anyone, especially Sam and Dean they had such black and white views of what was human and what was not, now after seeing how bad they were with one another since Sam's physic thing and the demon blood she was happy that she kept it quiet. Besides she never used it intentionally, sometime things would get to emotional or Sam and Dean would be in a seriously bad situation and it would just happen. She hated it though, wanted to be normal for Sam and Dean, they had enough on their plate with everything happening without adding her issue on top.

Sighing tiredly again Sarah shut off the water as it started to cool, towel drying herself and dressing before she went back out to the room, seeing Sam sitting at the small beat up table.

"Where's Dean?" she asked hoping they hadn't fought again

"He's just gone for breakfast and coffee, he'll be back soon" Sam answered, his form hunched over the laptop, no doubt researching for Lilith's whereabouts

"Alright, well what's the plan for today? Where do we go from here?" Sarah flopped on top of the bed, starting to really feel the last few nights of not sleeping.

Sam huffed out a sigh and shrugged "We still don't know where Lilith is or where the last seal and until we do we're kinda at a standstill" What Sam wasn't saying was that he had Ruby working on the whereabouts of the last seal, he knew that if he got there he would find Lilith.

They heard the rumble of the Impala outside the room, Dean walked in a minute later carrying a bag and cup holder with three coffee's, he smiled when he seen Sarah,

"Hay Sarah, how's the head?" She shot Sam a look brow raised he shrugged and smiled innocently

"Don't look at me, we can basically assume you're having nightmare's all the time now and not sleeping" Sam answered smartly, she sighed and looked back to Dean

"I'm fine, a little tired but healthy as a horse" Dean just hummed and looked at her sceptically "I'm serious, I'm fine Dean..."

"Ye alright" he let it drop, getting something out of Sarah where ill-health was concerned was much the same as them, like drawing blood from a stone.

They ate their breakfast in silence each of them feeling the weight of the appending apocalypse over their heads all worried about each other. Sam was on edge all morning, fidgeting and restless he had drunk a large amount of demon blood with Ruby last night building himself up for his face off with Lilith, he knew it would be soon. Dean and Sarah worried for him and unknown to Sam, Dean was planning on going ahead without him and Sarah. Castiel has said it was Dean who could stop this from happening not the three of them and he was more than happy to leave Sam and Sarah out of it. Sarah on the other hand knew that each of her boys was up to something, they were always so shifty about it or maybe it was just because she was so used to their ways that she could pick up the subtle changes and read them.

They had been following omens all week, narrowing the majority of them down to the state of Maryland, yesterday they had stopped in a run-down motel in Maryland and Dean had firmly stated they were not going any further until they had word from Cas. Sarah sat at the small table for most of the afternoon cleaning her weapons mechanically, her mind still focused on the dreams. Dean was doing the same sat out on one of the beds his guns taken apart, oiling and cleaning them to perfection while Sam still sat hunched over his laptop following omens and clues but not able to pinpoint where the last seal was, that could only mean it wasn't anything marked on a map.

After a day being cooped up in the motel room apart from trips for food the threeo waited anxiously for Cas to show up, as the sky got darker Sam got more agitated.

"We can't just sit around Dean, for all we know there working on breaking the last seal now, we knows the general area it's in we should just drive there and see what..." Dean cut Sam off

"No Sam, I'm not walking into this blind there's too much at stake and too much we don't know" Dean argued Sarah felt her heart sink, they were going to fight again, she couldn't watch this again so she stood up and made her way outside to get so much-needed fresh air. Sam and Dean watched her go both grimacing in guilt, they knew what their fighting was doing to her but they were both too stubborn to back down.

"We can't just sit around and do nothing, if I call Ruby..." Sam was whispering doing his best to keep his voice down so Sarah wouldn't hear until Dean cut him off

"RUBY! You are not calling that demon whore here, I don't trust her and you shouldn't be anywhere near her..." Dean fumed, Sam's own temper flaring

"You need to trust me Dean..."

Sarah heard their escalating voice's from outside the door, she sighed heavily again shaking her head, she could feel her eye getting wet and her throat tightening, god I can't take them fighting any more... Sarah started having heard the flutter of wings behind her, she spun to see Cas standing there his usual inexpressive face showing distress.

"Cas what is it?" Sarah always found herself distracted by the sight of Cas for the first few seconds, much like the instinct for all things evil Sarah could see he was an angel, his true form, all the glowing blue aura of their grace and wings that shimmered.

"Dean needs to get ready for tonight, they will have preparations for the last seal ready, you and Sam need to stay away" Cas stated

"What? No way is he going in there alone and why does he have to wait until their ready to finish the seals why not go now?" Sarah argued venomously, Cas's expression did not change in the least, he had said it to Sarah first for a reason, she was going to have to keep Sam on lock down. Having heard Sarah's raised voice the door swung open Sam and Dean standing there with weapons at the ready and fierce expressions on their faces.

"Cas, what the hell man? What are you doing?" Dean fired off sharply

"It's tonight and it's in an old church in midland Maryland where the massacre of a groups of nuns happened. That is where the last seal is, Lilith will be there to break it tonight. Dean I need you to be ready to come with me later" With that Cas fluttered away again

"Wait! Damn it Cas..." Dean fumed, Sam and Sarah stood there mouths open in shock, that had happened quicker than expected.

"Well I guess we wait till later..." Dean trailed off

"You have to be kidding me Dean!...You can't just wait..." Sam snapped

"Yes, Sam we wait, Cas knows the score so we god damn well wait..."
"What just because an angel tells you your god solution to this you think you can make all the decisions..." Sam was sick of Dean's mightier than thou crap and snapped "...you don't trust me and I get it man but you can't think it would be better to let them asshole get any further than they have..."
"Sam! I'm not going through this again you're not going anywhere near demon central when the time comes..." Sam and Dean had moved so they were in each other's face's, Sarah had enough

"Both of you just Shut up!..." the brothers paused, still fuming but so caught off guard by Sarah's outburst they actually paused to listen to her "...I'm sick of listening to you two at each other's throats all the time. Neither of you are going fucking anywhere not with your heads so far up your asses. Both of you might want to do the self-sacrificing bullshit but I'm not losing one of you because you were too wound up to fucking think straight" by the end of her rant Sarah was shouting the damn off her patience finally cracked with the two boys, who had the sense to at least look sorry. Before Dean or Sam could say anything to her she pushed past them into the room, kicking the table as she walked by, furious with the two of them for being so narrow-minded at a time like this.

Dean moved first following Sarah into the room, Sam coming in after and closing the door behind him. Dean watched Sarah as she snapped her weapons back together, her movements sharp and quick showing how angry she was, his shoulders slumped and he moved to crouch in front of her.

"We're sorry Sarah..." he waited for her eyes to meet his before he continued "...your right we need to calm down, the both of us. We'll stop" he promised Sam nodding his head in agreement.

"Ye..." Sam sighed "...We'll wait for Cas to come back before any of us do anything" he said firmly, looking pointedly at Dean telling him he couldn't just disappear with Cas without sorting out what was happening, Dean nodded slightly and sighed again. Sarah was still snapping her weapons back together but the expression on her face was less pinched with anger, now she looked sad and tired, Dean felt a wave of guilt hit him and moved back to his own weapons.

They spent the rest of the evening in a heavy silence, tension radiating off each of them, Sam sat slouched in a chair, fingers flipping his phone over in his hands, he was waiting to see if Ruby would text him. How was it that Cas could find the place the last seal was meant to be broken and Ruby hadn't got back to him.

Just as the sky was darkening his phone flashed in his hand, he had kept it on silent so Dean and Sarah wouldn't know who he was waiting to hear from. Clicking open the message all it read was, 'outside, come now'. This was it, he was going to stop this, kill Lilith and keep everyone he cared about safe.

"I'm getting some air" Sam said gruffly, Dean shrugged it off, knowing he had his keys in his pocket and that they where in a motel in the middle of nowhere so the chances of Sam getting anywhere were nil, or so he thought.

When Sam stepped outside he saw a small beat up car tucked away at the side of the motel, he crept over and slid in next to Ruby without a second thought.

"You ready for this?" she asked, Sam nodded and glanced back at the motel room sadly, he wished Dean and Sarah could have had more faith in him then they could all do this together but they didn't and if he told them what he was planning they would stop him.

"Let's go" he answered determinedly

The flutter of wings brought Sarah out of her thoughts Dean looking up from his phone when he heard the sound.

"Alright Cas spill, what's the plan?" Dean said straight to the point, looking around Cas frowned

"Where is Sam?" he asked and reached his sense's out not finding the familiar feel of Sam's presence, Dean had bounced up from the bed and pulled the door open

"Sammy, Cas is..." Dean trailed off not seeing his brothers tall form anywhere and frowned "...Son of a bitch, where the hell is he?" Before Dean could step further out to look for his pain in the ass little brother Cas stopped him

"He is not here, you should not have let him leave..." Cas began to reprimand the pair, Sarah had gaped at what Cas had said diving towards the door herself to see the empty lot.

"He said he was getting air, there was no way he vanished in the space of five minutes" Sarah said

"Damn it Sammy" Dean cracked his fist against the closest wall, his fist leaving a crack in the cheep walls off the motel room.

"You gotta take me there now Cas, he can't do anything about Lilith he hasn't got any juice, we seen him go through those stupid withdrawals" Dean was fuming, jeez how was Sam so stupid for such a smart person.

"You're not leaving me here Dean Winchester" Sarah stated, there was no way she was sitting in some beat up old motel room while she was racked with worry for the two boys.

"Sarah now is not the time..." Dean couldn't bear the thoughts of Sarah getting hurt, if he could at least protect one of his family members he would.

"Don't you even think about it, if you and Cas flutter off I'll hot wire your car..." Dean gaped "...I'm serious" Sarah panted her hands on her hips and raised a brow at Dean

"We have to go now Dean, Lilith is the last seal, if Sam kills her it'll be too late" Cas pushed, now than Sam was gone Sarah staying or going made no difference to him. Dean sighed and held his hand out to Sarah, she sagged with relief and sent him a grateful smile. Sarah took Deans' hand and Cas put a hand on his shoulder, one minute they were in the motel room the next they were standing outside a dilapidated building, crumbled stone walls and the ruins of what looked like holy statues. Dean and Sarah walked forward and spotted a beat up old car parked out front of the double doors, Dean turned back to see Cas standing where he had been.

"What are you standing there for?" he snapped Sarah turned to look at Cas again, she could see his blue outlined grace flaring and she frowned confused having never noticed it doing that before until Cas told them why he wasn't going with them

"Its ward, I can't go in you have to go now" Cas stressed, Dean and Sarah pulled their gun's to the ready and ran up the steps, but they were too late. They walked in just in time to see the doors of the altar room slam closed Sam and Lilith staring each other down.

"Damn it, Sam!" Dean ran to the door, throwing his weight against the door, kicking and hitting out to try to get to Sam. Sarah was doing the same, yelling out for Sam to stop, that it was a trap. They flung themselves at the door again and again and again but it was no use they were stuck on the outside of it all while all hell broke loose inside, the sounds of a struggle coming from beyond the door.

The floor started to shake, dust falling from the old buildings structure as the doors finally gave way to the duo's constant onslaught. The first thing they saw was Lilith slumped at the top of the room her blood spilling from her and swirling in a weird pattern on the floor, Dean and Sarah saw Sam then standing stoke still staring in shock and horror at the turn of event. Ruby was laughing manically, joy and elation written all over her face.

"I can't believe it, I actually did it " she laughed Sam stood shocked but sprung into action when he saw Dean walk determinedly toward Ruby slipping the demon knife from his belt, he held Ruby as Dean drove the knife into her watching as the joy fell from her face and her body collapsed on the floor lifeless.

Sarah had stopped in her path to Sam and Dean as a light began to shine from the middle of the floor, the boys covering their face as it got brighter and brighter but Sarah could see something, the form of a man, clawing his way out of the floor, cracking the marble floor as the shining hand grabbed for purchase. She only noticed that she had fallen to her knees when Sam and Dean had to pull her to her feet trying to drag her with them.

"Sarah, come on" Dean shouted, dodging the falling debris as best he could, then there was a sudden flash of light, blinding the threeo, as they all fell to the floor covering their face's as best they could. When the light faded they were all seated on a plane, belted in and the stream of light visible from the window.
