Katie shot upright, breathing heavily as she begun to take her surroundings. She was in the middle of the road, it was late at night…and the last thing she could remember was being in Hell.
"What the f-" She started, but was cut off by a car's blaring horn and realised she was still in the road.
She quickly hobbled away, as the car zoomed past her. She looked down at herself to see she was in the clothes she died in. She still had the blood stain on her chest. She shook her head as she tried to remember what had happened. It had been a normal day, she was locked up in her cage, when suddenly there was bright light and then…she was here. Was she alive? She quickly began to run, knowing that whatever had just pulled her out of her cage could not be far behind. After being stuck in a metal box that she could barely stand up in, it felt good to be able to move, to run. She wanted desperately to see someone, anyone. She had no visitors the entire time she was there, most days her throat was sore from screaming for anyone to find her. But they never did. It had felt like she had been there for over 90 years. Suddenly a sick thought appeared in her head, as she begun to wonder whether her surroundings were even real. She soon found a diner a mile or so away, and cautiously entered the building. There were only a few stragglers, as she realised it must have been early in the morning.
"Hi" She beamed, as she walked over to the counter.
"Um…yes?" The man behind the counter questioned, clearly unnerved by the way Katie was smiling.
"What day is it?" Katie queried.
"Tuesday" The man replied.
"What year?" Katie asked.
"How much have you had to drink?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Please, just tell me" Katie insisted.
"May 14th 2009" He answered, with a shrug.
"Nine months…not even a year" Katie mumbled.
"Is that blood on your shirt?" He inquired, his eyes going wide.
"Um…no…" Katie trailed off, seeing the man next to her had also started to stare.
She turned around, about to take a hasty escape when she saw two men enter the diner. She had to stifle a gasp as she saw that they had black smoke inside their bodies. Demons, she realised. She whipped her head back around, trying not to stand out.
"It's just ketchup…I'll have a coke" She informed him, as he simply shrugged and went to do this.
She then sat down at the farthest away booth, and stuck her head down. Why were they here and how could she see them now, she wondered? She felt herself stiffen as both men went to stand at the counter.
"What can I do for your gentlemen?" She heard him ask.
"We're looking for a girl. Around 20, brunette. Probably has blood on her" The tallest replied.
She bit her lip, waiting to see how he would reply. She was dead if her gave her away.
"We get a lot of brunette's in here, fellas" He smiled.
With a grimace, they both began to turn away, as Katie let out a sigh of relief.
"How much do you want this information? If you've got the money, I'd be willing to help out" The man who had been sitting at the counter announced.
The tallest man slapped down a $50 note onto the counter, with a smirk.
"She's in the corner" He gestured towards her.
They whipped their heads around, spotting her instantly. She stood up, trying to think of a way out, but coming up with none. She was trapped.
"There's no need to make a scene" The shorter one told her.
"I'm not going back there" She retorted, as he pulled out a knife.
Everyone in the diner gasped, and started to head towards the door, realising a fight was about to breakout. The shorter man lunged at her instantly, as she ducked away from his knife just before it hit her. However, it did strike her arm, cutting through the flesh. She cried out, holding her arm close to her chest. Suddenly the pain stopped, as she looked down to see the wound had completely vanished. Before she could think about this more, the man advanced on her again. This time she caught his hand between her own, mere inches from her chest. To both of their surprise, she managed to stop him from getting any closer. He then used his other hand to try to push down harder, but even with only one hand, Katie seemed far stronger than him. With a frown, she bent his hand backwards, and plunged the knife into his own chest. She then kicked out with her leg, pushing him to the ground. Meanwhile, the other man had got closer and was about to strike her when she raised her hand out. He instantly steeled his movements, as she realised that even though she wasn't touching him, she seemed to be able to control his movements. With a flick of her wrist, she sent him over the counter. Then she began to run. She ran for miles and miles, until she got to what seemed like the nearest city. She had never heard of it, but at least there were people around. She sat down on a bench for a moment, and tried to listen out for demons, hoping that maybe she would still be able to hear them.
"We've lost her" She heard a voice pipe up.
"She attacked you?" A woman's voice asked.
"Yes, but she seemed surprised by it" The male voice stated.
"She doesn't realise she's one of us? Good, we could use-" Katie began to lose the link, as her breathing got heavy.
A demon? She couldn't be…but those powers she had used, they were just like the black eyed monsters she had faced in the past. She looked down to where her cut should have been and saw there was still nothing there. She had healed like a demon, had used telekinesis like a demon, and seemed far stronger in general. Something was different with her at least. Deciding it was best to listen in on the conversation, she once again stopped listening to the sounds around her and tried to find the demons.
"We should go for the next target. Sam Winchester was spotted close by" The same man announced.
"Where exactly?" The female inquired.
"A motel on the east of the city. We should reach him soon" The man stated.
"Lucifer will not be happy that we have lost the girl" The woman insisted.
"We'll find her again, she can't hide for too long" He retorted, as Katie cut off the conversation.
She couldn't believe it; Sam was in the city. She felt a sense of relief wash over her at this news, but she couldn't stop the niggling doubt at the back of her mind. It all seemed to easy, too much of a coincidence. But she needed help. She quickly set off in the east direction, trying not to dwell on the fact that supposedly the literal Devil was looking for her. She soon found the motel, but quickly realised that she had no idea how to find Sam, it wasn't as if she could knock on every door. A moment later, she recognised a familiar voice and turned around to see the female demon she heard from before walking into the motel. She quickly turned around and started to walk in the opposite direction. She spotted a church, and thinking that it would be the last place they would look, she ran inside. She knocked into someone as she ran through the door, and seeing as they were so tall, couldn't see their face.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you…" Katie trailed off, looking up to see who she had knocked into.
She gasped as she saw the exact man she was looking for, sharing an equally shocked expression.
"Sam?" She questioned, breaking into a grin.
"How…how are you…" Sam stuttered, as Katie pulled him into a hug.
"I can't believe it's really you" She smiled, as he wrapped his arms around her.
"You were dead…I don't understand" Sam exclaimed, pulling away.
"I'm as confused as you, one moment I'm in hell and the next I just woke up in the middle of the road miles away. Demons have been after me ever since" She explained.
"You were in hell?" Sam inquired, a dark expression on his face, as she nodded.
"Sam, somethings happened to me since I've been back, I have these…powers" She admitted.
"What do you mean?" He frowned.
"I mean like…demon powers" She confessed.
"What?" Sam asked, pulling back slightly.
"I don't know but I feel different. It's hard to explain. I got cut earlier and look, not even a scratch" She stated, holding up her arm.
"So…does that me you don't have a soul anymore?" Sam inquired.
"I don't think so, I still feel like me. I still care about you" She informed him, as he brought out a flask from his jacket.
"Holy water, huh?" Katie mumbled, as Sam splashed a little on her arm.
Katie flinched a little, having some minor pain from it, as Sam frowned.
"Does it hurt?" Sam inquired.
"A little I guess" She shrugged.
"This is weird" Sam stated.
"Still, it's so good to see you" She smiled.
"I can't believe you're alive…you went after me and it got you killed. It was all my fault" Sam cried, guilt clear in his voice.
"No, no. It's my fault, I never should have gone there. I knew Ruby was trouble and-" She started, but he cut her off.
"Ruby was the one who killed you?" He queried.
"Well it was Lilith, but it was Ruby who set me up. Do you know where she is? Because I wouldn't mind ripping her head off right now" Katie said, angrily.
"She's dead. So is Lilith" He told her.
"How? Who killed them?" Katie frowned.
"I did…I…I've screwed up, really bad, Katie" Sam sighed.
"Okay, you can tell me on the road. I just saw a pair of demons walking into the motel you've been staying in. We need to leave here, now" Katie insisted.
"Shit...Dean's in there" Sam exclaimed, rushing towards the door.
"Hold up. As in dead brother Dean?" Katie questioned, running after him.
It wasn't long until they got back to Sam's room, and could hear a fight had erupted inside.
"Wait, you stay out here" Sam told her.
"What? But I can help!" Katie insisted.
"Its too dangerous" Sam said, shaking his head.
He then barged into the room, leaving Katie alone in the corridor. She lasted about 20 seconds before following after him, not caring that it was dangerous. Sam was in trouble and that was all that mattered. She spotted Sam immediately, who was getting punched repeatedly by a woman on the floor. She then spotted one of the men from the diner earlier beating up another man.
"Hey!" She shouted, raising out her arm, as she flicked her wrist.
This caused the male demon to be thrown into the corner of the room, shocking everyone momentarily.
"Wow, it's like buy one get one free" The woman smirked, pushing Sam to the floor, and standing up.
"Get away from him" Katie hissed, her eyes flickering going black for a second.
Katie seemed to realise this and was able to pull herself back. Meanwhile, the other man had grabbed a bloody knife and plunged it into the male demon, killing him. This seemed to spook the woman, who backed away and then smoked out of her meat suit, which dropped to the floor.
"Bobby!" She heard the man shout, as she spotted the familiar older man on the floor.
"Oh my God" She gasped, rushing to Bobby's side, and seeing blood was pouring out of his stomach.
She grabbed a nearby cushion and started to press it onto the bleeding.
"Who the hell is this?" She heard the man ask Sam.
"I'm guessing you must be Dean, I'd shake your hand but I'm kind of busy trying to keep his guts in. Now, are you going to help me get him up or what?" She questioned, and after a moment Dean went to do this.
