"Are you okay," Sophia looked up into the worried eyes of Sam, which did nothing but make the situation that much more of a harsh reality.
Sam Winchester, I'm standing next to Sam Winchester; "I'm fine" she told him forcing a smile. Under other circumstance she might have felt her heart jump with lust or admiration, but standing next to him, someone who by all laws of reality shouldn't exist made it difficult to see the good in it.
He could tell by looking at her that she wasn't fine. Her hands were shaking, and her eyes glistened with tears. "We should get out of here, it's not safe." She whispered, meeting his eyes briefly before looking away and walking out of the old house. Sam paused looking around at the faces, "Yeah-" He told Sophia before turing to the other, with on eyebrow raised. "Just so you know? That was a demon." The stunned silence of their peers didn't go unnoticed.
When they all made it outside Sam began to talk, "Now, that thing –- I'm not sure, but I think it was an Acheri. A demon that disguises itself as a little girl. That still doesn't tell us where we are." Sam paused looking at Andy. "Andy, are you with me or what?"
"Give me a minute." Andy said stunned, "I'm still working through, 'Demons are real.'" Sophia smiled at him. Even in a serious matter like this Andy still brought a sense of playfulness to the table; Even if he wasn't meaning too
They kept walking in silence, all lost in their respective thoughts about what was going on.
Sam stopped in front of a large rusted bell that had an engraving of an oak tree, "I've seen that bell before. I think I know where we are now," He looked around at the faces surrounding him, "Cold Oak, South Dakota. A town so haunted, every single resident fled."
But she knew the truth; that Cold Oak, south Dakota didn't exists. She was sure of that, she google'd that place more then once when she read the spoilers that they were filming in a ghost town this season. The truth was it was nothing more then an old set to Bordertown, a show in the 80's.
So how did she come to a place that didn't exists with a bunch of people who were only playing a role.
"Swell. Good to know we're somewhere so historical." Ava said bitterly, arms folded across her chest snapping Sophia out of her thoughts. "Why in the world would that demon or whatever put us here?" Lily asked, clearly shaken.
"I'm wondering the same thing." Sam replied frowning. "Whatever the reason, it's never anything good." Sophia didn't even realize that she spoke till all eyes were on her. She was thankful when Lily spoke up, taking the heat away from her. "You know what? It doesn't matter. Clearly, the only sane thing to do here is get the hell out of Dodge."
"Wait, hold on. Lily, the only way out is through miles of woods." Sam said, looking at the blond girl. "Beats hanging out with demons." Lily snapped; And fictional characters. Sophia thought to herself.
"Lily, look, we don't know what's going on yet. I mean, we don't even know how many of them are out there right now."
"Yeah, he's right. We should-" Jake started to say, "Don't say "we"! I'm not part of "we". I have nothing in common with any of you." Lily shouted, causing the heartstrings on Sophia to start to pull.
I have got to get a grip on myself; She thought blinking back her own tears. The last thing Sam needs is some over emotional wreck crying at every moment.
"Okay, look, I know-" Sam started but was instantly cut off by Lily outraged voice, "You don't know anything!" Lily paused blinking back tears, "I accidentally touched my girlfriend." she whispered the last part. The group stood there stunned, not knowing what to say.
It was Sam who finally took the leap to say something, "I'm sorry." There was sincerity in his words, but that didn't matter. "Whatever. I feel like I'm in a nightmare, and it just keeps getting worse and worse."
"I've lost people, too." Sam paused, thinking about his mother and Jess, "I have a brother out there right now that could be dead, for all I know. We're all in bad shape. But I'm telling you, the best way out of this is to stick together.
"Fine." Lily said softly, after a moment of hearing Sam out. Sophia watched as Sam took control over the group. Took the leadership with out question. She wondered briefly what it was about him that made him capable to do so. She was so use to seeing Dean in charge, that she never really thought about Sam being the leader.
"We're looking for iron, silver,"
"Salt," Sam paused and looked at her, she looked away telling herself not to talk; he's going to think you're a darn demon if you keep this up.
"And salt. Any kind of weapon."
"Salt is a weapon?" Jake asked skeptically.
"It's a brave new world." Sam answered lightly. Sophia couldn't stop herself "You got that right" she muttered, it was a problem saying things when she shouldn't.
"Well, hopefully there's food in your world, because I'm frickin' starving." Andy said walking up the steps, and for the first time in this nightmare Sophia smiled.
When the group split up to look for weapons Sophia didn't think twice before going with Andy. It wasn't that he made her feel safe, or anything like that. But, he did make her feel comfortable. -as comfortable as a TV character could get- compared to the nervousness that she felt around Sam.
"So where are you from?" Andy asked, looking over at her as they walked towards the kitchen area.
Sophia bit her lip nervously, "Maryland," She thought about her small house. Her father and her brother. Would they still be there if she went home? Or did they not exist in this land, this time.
"Uh huh," Andy cleared his throat. "So what's your power?" She didn't know why she did it, but she couldn't help it. "I don't have one." She blurted out, tears pouring out of her eyes. "I don't have a stupid power and I shouldn't even be here."
"Um." He fidgeted around nervously, His high had wore off long ago, he didn't think he could handle an emotional girl.
He patted her arm quickly, "Its okay. You need me to…um… go get Sam?"
She shook her head, "Andy. What if I told you that I'm not from here." She looked at him with such trustful eyes that he found himself even more nervous. "We'll, If your from Maryland-"
"No no no. I mean from here," The way she said here made him pause; did she think? "You're an alien?" he hissed, looking around nervously wondering how he got stuck with the crazy girl.
"What! No!" she put her head in her hands. "I mean," she took a deep breath before continuing, knowing she was on thin ice. "I just feel like" she was grasping for words, " like you stepped into the twilight zone." He asked.
She looked up and smiled, "Or supernatural." His brow furrowed. "Huh?" She shook her head, "Nothing, just a TV show" Andy nodded, relived. "Hey look, Salt!" He said forgetting about the weirdness that just accord.
"You guys! I found something!" Sophia followed Andy only freezing when Sam entered the room, still not use to seeing him. "Salt!" Andy said smiling.
"That's great, Andy. Now, we all can-" Sam paused looking around "…where's Lily?"
"Lily?"
"Lily!" Sam screamed, causing more then one person to jump.
They sound of a little girl sinister laugh made them all freeze. "Oh god," Sophia felt sick to her stomach, knowing that sound wasn't anything good.
"We have to go check it out- She might still be alive!" Sam told the group hiding his own fear. They all nodded and followed him outside to find Lily.
They didn't have to wait long.
They saw her body hanging from a noose at top of the water tower.
"Oh, my God-" Ava put herself in Sam's arms. "Okay, that's officially—Sam, she's dead! She's dead! You said we were chosen for a reason. That is not chosen! That's killed! Okay, we have to get out of here."
"Stop." Sam told her, but it was too late. Her words were already out, "Yeah, I second that emotion." Andy agreed.
"Not sure that's an option." Jake said, his eyes still on Lily.
"What?"
"Lily was trying to leave. The demon's not gonna let us get away that easy. We've gotta gear up for the next attack."
"Oh, gear up?" Ava said sarcastically, "Yeah." Sam replied.
"Okay, well, I'm not a soldier. I can't do that!"
Sophia getting fed up turned to Ava, "And you think we are?" She asked harshly, before sending a glance at Jake, "well, except for him-" She wrapped her arms around her body, "We're all scared okay? But this- this thing is out there stalking us. We have to fight or we're going die."
"I'm not." Ava said stomping her foot. Sam just looked at her, sighing he said. "Well, if you wanna stay alive, you're gonna have to-" Sam looked at the four people standing on the porch, "Let's go." He only prayed that they could make it out alive.

Sophia left Jake upstairs to finish salting the windows, as she walked down the steps she heard Ava and Sam talking. She paused briefly before she pressed her back against the wall, trying not to make herself known. Sophia wasn't one to eavesdrop but she couldn't seem stop herself in that moment.
"Tell me what?"Shutting her eyes, she felt as if she could kick herself. How could she have forgotten about Ava's fiancée, all the while she was looking at the poor girl with distrust.
"When the demon broke into your house to take you…your fiancée didn't make it. I'm sorry."
"No, that's…no!" Ava cried.
I need to get out of here;Sophia thought resting her head against the wall as tears fell from her eyes.
Sorry guys I uploaded the wrong one for 4... so here's the right one. Lol.
