Chapter 8

A/N- I do not own Supernatural

We had no clue how but Sam was back. We tried to get a hold of Cas to see if he knew anything but we got nothing in response. I had called Dean a few times to let him know that Sam was back. But it went straight to voicemail each time I called. I had no idea where he was but he should at least know that his brother was safe. Sam knew where Dean was but he didn't want to talk to him himself.

Sam and I went on a few hunts together after he got back. After a few months though, he decided to hunt on his own.

Currently, I was on a hunt and going after a poltergeist. A nasty one at that… Normally, I would call Bobby for help but he was on a hunt with Rufus. Sam would be next but he had found a group of hunters that he was now working with. I knew that there was a snowball's chance that he would pick up but I at least needed to talk to someone besides Molly and the wall.

"Dean… I don't know if you even listen to these but I need some help. Bobby and Sam are both on hunts of their own and I just need someone to talk to about this. I guess pretending to talk to you will help me think. Umm… Here's what I know…."

I spent the rest of the voicemail rambling about the hunt. I even talked over it because I didn't hear the beep signaling the end of the call. I was right that talking, even pretending, did help me sort through my evidence and piece more things together.

"Please… Just come home safe… I just need to know that you're safe." I whispered knowing at this point that the voicemail had cut off some time ago.

Molly placed her head in my lap to remind me that I wasn't alone and that she was there to comfort me. I smiled sadly and scratched her ears in appreciation.


A few months had passed since then and I was in the kitchen washing dishes when I saw something I wasn't sure that I was ready to see. A black Impala with a moose and his brother pulling into the salvage yard. I knew that the boys had started hunting again and were trying to stop Cas from finding purgatory but I wasn't expecting them to come past Bobby's. Of course they would show up on one of my few days that I could have off.

I backed up slowly towards Bobby who was sitting at his desk reading a lore book. I grabbed my bag and guitar case off the floor and called for Molly. I was hoping they didn't see my truck and would think I wasn't here. It was a long shot but it was worth a try.

"I'm going to go… mow the lawn." I ran out the door the boys weren't coming through with Molly on my tail. I cautiously moved around the house and hopped in my truck once the boys had walked in the house.

I raced off as fast as I could and headed towards a park that Molly and I like to go to hang out at when we needed a change of scenery without leaving town.


Dean POV

After greeting Bobby, I asked the question that had been in the front of my mind since we pulled in.

"Where's Sarah?"

"Yeah. We saw her truck when we pulled in." Sam said.

"Well…" Bobby started with a sigh. "She said that she was going to mow the lawn."

"Bobby, there's no grass here." I said giving him a skeptical look.

"Exactly." He said seriously.

We then heard an ignition starting and I turned to look out the window just in time to see Sarah's truck pull away.


Sarah POV

I sat on the grass strumming my guitar. A few parents and children that were at the park seemed to enjoy the music. I wasn't feeling up to singing but I was still starting to relax.

Occasionally Molly would come over wanting me to throw her ball again. She always loved being able to run around freely. It made me laugh with how excited she got. Eventually, she got tired and came and laid next to me.

We stayed for a bit after it got dark and the street light turned on. It was just dark enough to be able to see the stars. After deciding it was time to go, I ran past the diner in town and grabbed some food to take back to Bobby's.

I walked back into the house with my stuff and the food. Molly ran ahead and seemed excited to see the boys. After setting my stuff down by the door, I placed the bags of food on the kitchen table.

"I got burgers for everyone, Sam there's a salad in there for you, and no I did not get pie." I said not looking towards the three who were all around the desk looking through lore books.

I flashed them all a tight smile before I grabbed my burger from the bag and walked upstairs with my stuff. Molly decided to stay downstairs to get some attention from the boys so I had to leave my door open in case she changed her mind.

I could hear the three talking downstairs and the brothers seemed to be worried about me. Bobby told them that I didn't take theirs' and Cas' disappearances too well. I got better once I was able to see Sam and could get a hold of him sometimes. However, I hadn't seen Dean or Cas in over a year.

"That would explain why she didn't get pie." I heard Dean say sarcastically along with the sound of a burger being unwrapped.

"Seriously, Dean?" I could imagine Sam's bitch face from here. I couldn't help the small smile that formed on my face while I got comfortable under the covers.

"She was most worried about you, idjit. None of us had heard from you for a year. Sam at least checked in with her every so often." Bobby said with a slight scolding tone.

I didn't hear much else after that because I was starting to drift off. I was kind of worried of what I would find tomorrow. I wasn't quite ready to deal with the boys but yet I was happy to see them and know that they were still kickin'.
