Author's Note: Okay wow! so I realize it's been over two months since I've updated! So sorry! For those of you who read the comment I posted in the review section, you know that I got married in June so I was too busy to continue updating at the time. I had promised to start posting again when we got back from the honeymoon, but being a newlywed is a lot more work than I thought! I just haven't allowed myself to have time to write. Once I started writing again I decided to re-plot the story to get back in the swing of things, so now I think I am finally ready to continue! Yay! I hope all of my awesome readers are still interested, but if not then I understand. I made you guys wait a LONG time.

I'm going to apologize for the length of this update. It's really short, but I'm entering into Part 2 now, so I wanted this to just be a sort of brief intro into that. The next update will be longer.

Well, I hope you enjoy and I hope it was worth the wait!

Disclaimer: I only own Allyson who is my original character. I, very regrettably, do not own anything from the tv series Supernatural.

P.S. I was asked about the time period of this story. Yes, it is roughly set around the middle of season six, but don't be confused if it doesn't follow the shows timeline exactly. I am altering it to best fit the story that I am writing, so I'm sure there will be several instances that don't exactly fit in with the television series.


Six Months Later

"Sam! Hurry up in there!" Dean banged a fist on the bathroom door. "We don't have all day, Princess!"

Moments later, a wet, exasperated Sam emerged from the room followed by a thick cloud of steam.

With a towel slung around his waist, he ran a hand through his dripping, dark hair and agitatedly marched to his duffel bag.

"Ten minutes, Dude." The younger Winchester grumbled as he slung articles of clothing from the bag onto the bed, "I only asked for ten minutes to take the first real shower I've had in days."

Dean's mouth curved into a full-lipped frown as he glanced down at his watch, "Yeah, well you were in there for eleven."

Sam rolled his eyes and marched back to the bathroom to get changed, slamming the door behind him.

"We're burning day light, Sammy! We got places to be and demons to kill!" Dean yelled as he slung his own bag over his shoulder and made his way to the door, "I'll be in the car!"

With a heavy sigh, Sam leaned forward against the sink and shook his head.

Dean had gone off the deep end.

He had become nearly as obsessed with finding Allyson's demon as their father had been when hunting down Azazel.

Sam knew that this was just a way for his brother to focus on something other than his hurt and guilt, but things were becoming extreme.

This was the first motel they had stopped at in three days after all, and Dean had only allowed enough time for a brief, much needed nap in an actual bed and a shower.

The worst part was, they had nearly no leads on this demon.

How were they supposed to track something down that they couldn't even pin point?

Dean had attempted to torture information out of a dozen different demons, but it always lead to a wild goose chase.

And Bobby, he had given up helping months ago, referring to the boys as 'idjits' for focusing their attention on a rogue demon rather than the ever-impending apocalypse.

Sam knew he had to stop the madness, but he had no idea how.

Suddenly, the long, blaring wail of the Impala's horn broke through his thoughts.

"Here we go again." He muttered, gathering his belongings and rushing out the door.


With a frown, Allyson took note of her empty glass and reached out for the brown bottle beside her, frowning again when she found that it was empty as well.

She had stopped going to the bar long ago, as she had gotten tired of that damn bartender always cutting her off.

How dare he tell her when 'she'd had enough'?

He didn't know.

He had no idea how much it took to actually be enough.

With a humorless snicker, Allyson surveyed her surroundings.

Small, dingy apartment overflowing with dirty laundry and unwashed dishes. She took note of the empty liquor bottles that were scattered haphazardly around the darkened den.

She had become one of those people.

She had never before been one of those people.

There had been a time in her life when she was on the path to success.

When she was happy.

But there she sat, with uncombed hair and wearing the same sweatpants as yesterday with an empty bottle of whiskey at her side.

For the first time in months, she let the thought of Dean drift into her mind without immediately banishing it.

She was silently thankful that he hadn't kept his promise, hadn't kept in touch.

At least this way, there was no one who could make her feel ashamed of the pit she was in.

Slowly, she pushed herself out of the overstuffed chair for the first time that night. She threw out a hand to brace herself against the wall as she wavered slightly, then stumbled her way to the kitchen.

"Dammit." She muttered as she tore through the cupboard, only to find it devoid of alcohol.

Her eyes narrowed in annoyance as she fished out a cigarette from the pocket of her flannel shirt and wedged it between her lips. With shaking fingers she examined her pocket and then the cluttered counter top.

Where had her lighter gone?

She made her way back to her armchair and fished her hand around in the cushions.

Nothing.

"God Dammit!" She screamed in frustration. Could her luck get any worse?

"Tsk tsk. You know it's wrong to take God's name in vain, my dear?" A man's voice came from behind her.

Allyson whirled around, letting her hazy vision finally settle on the two figures that had suddenly appeared in her living room.

"Who the hell are you?" She demanded furiously, a nervous knot forming in her throat.

"The name's Crowley, Darling." He extended a hand, "Nice to finally meet you, Allyson."

She regarded his hand as if it were a coiled snake about to strike, "How do you know my name?"

"Oh I've been watch you for a long time, Love." His lips spread into a thin smile, "I've got big plans for you."
