Alexandra watched as the impala drove away and sighed, she looked at her bags again and fought the urge to cry, she was better than that, only babies cried. She took her bags and started walking towards the bus station. Blue Earth was not where she wanted to be at the moment, but rather what she needed. Pastor Jim would welcome her for a few days, that she knew but she hated to leave her brothers behind, but since Kansas she hadn't been up to her game and Sam and Dean had been pestering her for a while now, so she knew that she needed to take a few days off.

She smiled when she saw Pastor Jim's house in the distance, he was in the porch waiting for her a smile on his face.

"Hi Uncle Jim" she said as he pulled her into a hug.

"Alex, how have you been child?" he asked, she shrugged, he gave her a look "I have prepared your old room for you, Dean has called several times"

"I'll call him" she promised, she followed him into the house and went to the room that she and brothers used to use. One twin bed and a bunker bed, she placed her bags in a corner and sat on the twin bed, placing her hand on the mattress, she took out her phoned and pressed a button.

"Alex!" said Dean's voice on the other side; she smiled.

"I made it, you should stop calling uncle Jim, I'm a big girl Dee, I'm twenty four, not twelve" she told her brother.

"I still worry Bug, Sammy and I are heading to Illinois to check out a case that Dad texted us" he explained, that surprised her.

"Dad texted you? What did he say?"

"Just coordinates" he told her, she scoffed.

"I bet Sammy loved that"

"Oh he did" Dean said, sarcasm in his voice.

"Great, well I have to go now, call me later?"

"Sure, take care Bug" he said; she smiled.

"Hey you're the one taking on a job, not me," she said, Dean laughed.

After talking to Dean, she decided to go out around town maybe to the bar, have a drink or two. She told Pastor Jim to not wait for her and he looked at her with concern until she promised that she would attend the service next day; that made him smile. She got dressed in a pair of ripped off jeans an old AC/DC shirt that had belonged to Dean once and her jacket and headed out to the bar, Jim lending her an old motorbike that he had around.

She sat at the bar, hunter senses sharp and alert. Blue Earth was a quiet place, not much to see, she took a sip of her whiskey and sighed, her mind went back to Kansas, her mother's ghost looking at her with those sad eyes, she had missed her mother so much, what little she remembered of Mary Winchester anyways. Alexandra had always known that she was a gifted child, a little different from the rest, she had been placed in Dean's classes, graduated a couple of years early. She was a fine hunter, she was a Winchester, she had been raised that way, like a soldier, she could put together guns in her sleep, she killed monsters, but none of that had prepared for the sheer shock of seeing her dead mother again. She downed her cup in one big sip and ordered another glass, she could pay for it and if not, she could always steal away from some poor slob.

"Rough night huh?" said a voice to her right, she turned to face a young man, probably Dean's age, and not bad looking either, with a mind made up she smiled at him.

'Try rough year" she said, the man laughed and as soon as the bartender placed her drink in front of her he raised his eyebrows.

"This one's on me" he told the bartender placing a twenty dollar bill on the bar; Alexandra raised an eyebrow.

"You didn't have to do that" she told him, the man shrugged.

"You look like you need it" he said, she nodded "The name's Mathew"

"Alex" she said with a small smile as she took a sip of her whiskey, Mathew ordered a beer.

"You from around?"

"Nah, just visiting my uncle" she said, the guy nodded. "And you?"

"I moved her a couple months ago, it's a nice place," he said; she nodded.

They continued talking, Mathew was a tall blond blue-eyed guy, not as tall as her brothers mind you, but Alexandra probably had a type. He drove an SUV and was impressed when she showed him the bike. He was agnostic, so she wasn't going to run into him on Service next day. He was babbling about his job when she pulled him into a kiss, he seemed surprised by her straightforwardness but responded in kind. Alexandra ended up having sex with Mathew in his small apartment next day.

"I…I'm not good in relationships" he told her as she was putting her clothes on, she snorted, what a fuck boy he was.

"And you think I am?" she asked him; he looked at her surprised.

"You're not gonna?" he started gesturing with his hand, she laughed at him.

"Am I not the one supposed to be asking those questions?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, Mathew shrugged.

"I'm just saying" he defended himself and she smiled at him.

"Don't you worry about me, I'll be out of your hair, like right now" she said grabbing her keys, she fixed her hair on the mirror and turned to smile at him.

"So, I was just that? Just a fuck?" he asked, and Alexandra had to stop herself from smirking.

"Are you truly concerned about that? How many times have you done the same to an unsuspecting girl Mathew?" she asked crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow, the guy had the gall to look offended.

"It's not the same" he sputtered; she laughed.

"Right, see you never Mattie" she said walking towards the door but turned around with a mischievous smile before leaving "And please be sure to deliver when you promise something to a girl, faking an orgasm is too much of a hassle to make dicks like you feel better about themselves" she said then turned to walk out of the door "Nine inches my ass!"

She returned to Pastor Jim's house in time to help him make dinner and in a better mood altogether. That night instead of the bar she tried a nightclub that was in a nearby city. She found several college girls and had the time of her life, had really good bathroom sex with a ginger guy whose face was covered in freckles and showed the girls to play pool. She also returned to Blue Earth several hundred bucks richer. Next morning she woke up early and made coffee for her and for Jim, and went with him to church and helped him clean his library; she then helped the young girl who was teaching the children of the community about the bible. And when night dawned she made lasagna for dinner.

"What's the occasion?" asked Pastor Jim when he saw the table; Alexandra smiled at him.

"I… thanks uncle Jim" she said, Pastor Jim pulled her into a hug.

"You know that you and your brothers are always welcome here, this house is yours," he said; she nodded.

They had a nice dinner and Alexandra took the leftovers to Mrs. Marianne, Pastor Jim's neighbor. She talked to Dean that night, he and Sam were still in Illinois investigating their case; she told him that she was going to visit Bobby since she was in the area and since he and Sam could totally handle the current case just the two of them.

"You sound happier" Dean pointed out; she smiled, even though he couldn't see her.

"I just needed a little time for myself" she said.

"Don't we all, Sammy says hi by the way"

"Tell him that I miss him, I miss you both"

"Well, of course you do, we're us" said Dean making her laugh.

"Dick" she said fondly.

"Talk to you later Wimp, have fun at Bobby's"

She left next morning, Jim took her to the bus station and she made it to Bobby's just after lunch. He received her with a hug, his dogs trotting after her. He also had retrieved her bike from storage when he had gone to place the pictures and videos there. She had taken her bike for a spin returning late at night. She made hot chocolate for her and Bobby, spiked with rum and she told him about her latest hunts with Sam and Dean.

She stayed in Sioux Falls for four days until Dean called her telling her that Sam had left again. He was headed to Indiana while Sam was going to California to track John who had called them. She made up her mind quickly, Hunters that hunted alone were in danger, she told Dean that she would reach him in two days, as she had to take several busses to get where he was. She packed up quickly and Bobby drove her to the bus stop.

It took her three days to get to Indiana, she had also talked to Sam on the phone, they had a lengthy conversation about their Dad and Dean, she told him that if there was someone she would follow to the ends of the earth out of the two of them it was Dean, not their Dad, as Dean had practically had raised them. Sam had sounded guilty for leaving Dean by himself; and she told him that he still had time. She then had tried calling Dean several times but he wasn't picking the phone. She made it to Burkitsville at night, she was walking down the road when she heard a honk, a car slowing next her.

"Alex?" asked Sam, window down; Alex raised an eyebrow.

"Nice car Sammy" she said, Sam laughed.

"Get in, we have to save Dean" he said, she threw her bags in the backseat and got in, Sam drove to the orchard.

"Should we take our guns?" she asked, Sam shrugged, she sighed and handed him a gun "Let's go Sasquatch"

They walked in as quietly as they could, looking for Dean. They heard voiced and followed them, a girl seemed to be in distress.

"Dean?" asked Sam, Alexandra close behind him.

"Oh! Oh, I take everything back I said. I'm so happy to see you. Come on." Dean said overjoyed "How'd you get here?"

"I, uh…I stole a car" said Sam as he untied Dean, while Alexandra moved to untie the girl.

"Haha! That's my boy!" Dean said.

"Yeah and I'm cannon fodder" muttered Alexandra as she helped the girl up, Dean looked at her and smiled.

"And don't I love to see you Alex!" he said with a grin, Alex rolled her eyes at him "Did you keep an eye on that scarecrow? He could come alive any minute." He said then serious, Alexandra and Sam exchanged glances.

"What scarecrow?" asked Sam and Alex in unison; Dean went to look and looked back at his siblings and the girl nervously.

"I'm guessing that's not good" Alexandra said, Dean shook his head.

"Run!" he said, and the four of them started running.

"Alright, now, this sacred tree you're talking about," said Sam as they ran.

"It's the source of its power" Dean explained.

"So let's find it and burn it." Sam said; Alexandra rolled her eyes.

"We need to get to safety first before deciding to look for a tree in an orchard, this thing could kill us" she said.

"Alex is right, we can do it in the morning. Let's just shag ass before Leather Face catches up." Said Dean as they reached a clearing, they were suddenly surrounded by the townspeople.

"Please. Let us go." Said the girl that they had saved, a man looked at her and spoke.

"It'll be over quickly, I promise."

"Please." She begged, Alexandra kept herself alert of their surroundings they had no possible way out of this one.

Suddenly the scarecrow arrived and ran its hook through the man stomach, and then took the woman standing next to him, the townspeople quickly running away for their lives, Alexandra exchanged glances with Dean and they started running again towards the edge of the orchard.

"Never again" Alexandra said once they reached Sam's stolen car, Dean smiled at her.

"Thanks for getting here Lexy" he said as he pulled her into a hug, she patted his back.

"I'll always have your back Dee, there's no questioning that" she said with a smile.

Next morning, they went again to the orchard with the girl whose name was Emily and they found and burned down the tree; Emily doing the actual burning. Then they dropped Emily at the bus station.

"Think she's gonna be alright?" asked Sam as they watched Emily's bus go.

"I hope so" said Dean, Alexandra smiled.

"She will, us girls are tough," she said with a smile, her brothers nodded.

"And the rest of the townspeople, they'll just get away with it?" Sam asked; Dean and Alexandra shrugged.

"Well, what'll happen to the town will have to be punishment enough." Dean said was they walked towards the Impala "So, Sam, can I drop you off somewhere?"

"No, I think you're stuck with me" Sam said with a smile, Alexandra smiled at her younger brother passing her arm around his waist.

"What made you change your mind?" asked Dean, Sam shrugged.

"I didn't. I still wanna find Dad. And you're still a pain in the ass. But, Jess and Mom they're both gone. Dad is God knows where. You, Alex and me. We're all that's left. So, if we're gonna see this through, we're gonna do it together" Sam explained.

"Damn right" said Alex with a smile, still holding Sam; Dean smirked.

"Hold me, Sam. That was beautiful" Dean said as the three of them laughed.

"You should be kissing my ass, you were dead meat, dude." Sam said, Dean laughed.

"Yeah, right. I had a plan, I'd have gotten out."

"Lies Dee, you were dead" Alex said, Dean ruffled her hair and she batted his hand away.

"Right" said Sam as they got into the car, Alexandra jumped into the passenger seat, Sam taking the backseat and they drove into the distance.

In the next few weeks Sam and Alexandra had Dean almost dying on them due to an electroshock, they had taken him to a faith healer, because they refused to have their older brother just die on them, and discovered that the guy had a reaper bound, they had saved Dean, but a guy had died in Dean's place. Not that Alexandra minded about a guy she didn't knew, her brother was more important to her than some guy. They had released the reaper and their next few weeks only got stranger.

First, they had gone to Missouri after one of Dean's exes had called Dean to investigate a case. Alexandra had spent the whole hunt antagonizing the girl, Cassie, as they had differences regarding the hunting life, and why Cassie had broken up with Dean the first time. Sam even had to step between the two girls once when Alexandra threatened to jump on her. Dean had wisely kept silent about the whole thing not taking sides while Alexandra fumed. They had killed the ghost in question and saved Cassie's mother, although Alexandra had wanted to throw Cassie to the truck and Sam had barely stopped her. Which had caused a rift between the two eldest Winchesters.

Second, after leaving Cassie behind they had ran into a guy that could control things with his mind, and was somehow connected to Sam's visions. The Guy's name was Max Miller, who was kind of a psychopath who ended up killing his entire family, save for his stepmother. His real mother had died exactly like Mary and Alexandra and her siblings had been puzzled by that fact and had tried to make a connection between Sam and Max.

And thirdly some crazy psychopathic family of human monsters that liked to kill other humans had kidnapped Sam, Alexandra and Dean ended up having a field day with that one as they tried to save Sam from the Benders. Some people were just that fucked up. Alexandra and Dean were cold towards each other until they realized that Sam was in danger and they had decided to put their problems aside to rescue their little brother.

Of course that didn't top their reunion with their father. They had been manipulated by a Demon bitch that apparently had tried to set Sam away from his family before, Meg, was the Demon called, she then of course had tried to set them apart right there talking about how Dean and Alexandra used Sam as luggage. She had been controlling Daevas and had tried to kill them. Then John had appeared in their room, it had been an awkward moment when he revealed that the thing that had killed Mary had been a demon and that he planned to kill it, although he didn't knew with what he was going to accomplish the goal. Then Meg had tried to get to them again with the shadow Demon, they had barely made it out alive.

"All right, come on. We don't have much time. As soon as the flare's out, they'll be back." Said Sam as they made their way out of the Motel room.

"Wait, wait, wait! Sam, wait. Dad, you can't come with us." Said Dean halting them to a stop, Alexandra who was holding onto John gave her brother a confused look.

"What? What are you talkin' about?" asked Sam.

"Why? We need dad Dee" said Alexandra backing Sam.

"You kids, you're beat to hell" said John tightening his grip on Alexandra, Dean looked at them.

"We'll be all right." He assured John; Sam was not buying it.

"Dean, we should stick together. We'll go after those demons" started saying Sam when Dean cut him off.

"Listen to me! We almost got Dad killed in there. Don't you understand? They're not gonna stop. They're gonna try again. They're gonna use us to get to him. I mean, Meg was right. Dad's vulnerable when he's with us. He, he's stronger without us around." Dean reasoned and Alexandra feared that he was right, she straightened and let go of her father and looked at Sam.

"Dean's right Sammy, we would only hinder him" she said, Sam looked at John for support.

"Dad, no" he said putting a hand on John's shoulder, "After everything, after all the time we spent lookin' for you, please. I gotta be a part of this fight" he said while Alexandra and Dean watched sadly.

"Sammy, this fight is just starting. And we are all gonna have a part to play. For now, you've got to trust me, son. Okay, you've gotta let me go." John said, they looked at their father solemly, Alexandra pulled her father into a hug and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"Stay safe dad" she said as she held him, he hugged her back and pressed a kiss to her hair, she let go and Dean shared a look with John.

"Be careful, kids." John said before getting into his truck and driving away while the siblings watched, Dean patted Alexandra's and Sam shoulders and guided them to the impala, Alexandra took the backseat nestling herself between the bags of weapons, Dean started the car and sped down the road, neither sibling speaking about what had just happened.
