A day had passed since Dean had met the two, Jess and Crystal staying in their home with the occasional visits from Sam who apologized the first visit back he had.

With Crystal's persuasive words, the two cousins went back to the room a couple days later to see Dean sitting at the table reading a newspaper while Sam seemed to be working on the laptop as the TV was on playing the news.

The smell of takeout Chinese food hit Crystal's nose hard and made her stomach growl.

Neither girl could remember the last time they had a hot meal since they were thrown into that world.

"Hey Sammy, hey Jaeger!" Jess called out to the men after both girls climbed onto the bed side table.

Crystal stiffened when she turned her head and saw Dean looking at them, not noticing his sheepish grimace.

Instantly she flinched and hid behind the redhead, occasionally peeking out from behind the woman. When she hid, she failed to see the older and larger Winchester wince and hold a guilty expression.

Hearing Jess's voice, Sam turned and smiled slightly at the two.

"Glad to see you two out and about." He commented with a grin.

Jess shrugged her shoulders, "Was bored so went out and I don't want Crys to cower in fear."

The girl behind her was flushed with embarrassment by her cousin, lightly smacking the woman's arm.

Before the girl could say anything though, something on the TV caught her attention.

The news was showing on how a new cult seemed to have arrived claiming that their leader is the Norse god Loki. The news channel then showed footage of a young man with long red hair and a mischievous grin as he shook the hands of his apparent followers. Behind him was a banner of some sorts of a fox standing on its hindlegs holding up a red flag.

"That's interesting." Crystal spoke out loud, not even realizing that both hunters and her cousin were watching the news report as well.

"What is Ami?" Jess asked, giving Crystal her attention.

"The fox," the black-haired girl explained loudly for the Winchesters to hear, "I've seen that picture before. Except the fox is different."

She glanced quickly over to Dean when they felt, and heard, him push back from the table, now giving the small girl his complete attention.

"How do you know that image?" he asked, nodding his head towards the TV which now was showing some strange segment on mushrooms.

Crystal shrugged her shoulders before reaching and fiddling with her backpack straps.

"That's Reynard the Fox." She said, looking at her feet, "some old fairytale told since the middle ages from what I remember.

Don't really remember much on the story, I believe it was basically on how Reynard continuously kept tricking people."

"I like to read," she lamely tried to reason, "it was one of the few stories my first boyfriend had that I didn't really like."

"What happened to him?" Dean asked, still not fully trusting the girls.

Crystal felt her mood plummet deeper at the question, not noticing how Jess was glaring daggers at the hunter.

"He died." She answered.

"His best friend Gabe killed him because he was preventing Gabe from selling us to a pet shop." Jess answered harshly, staring at Dean, silently daring him to question her.

Thankfully after the first time of showing what their curse did, Dean backed off.

Wanting to break the tension that was beginning to form in the room, Sam quickly spoke up.

"You said that something was wrong with the fox," he reminded, walking close to the edge of the table to look over at the girls.

Crystal blinked, lifting her head to stare at Sam.

"U-um yeah," she said finally, "the fox in the drawing I've seen before was the standard red fox. That one looks like a kitsune; you know, the Japanese fox demon."

Now that his brother was off the laptop, Dean brought the device closer and started typing things down.

"Huh," the elder Winchester hummed, "our little cult is in Sheridan County, Montana.

"No signs of kitsune attacks from what I can see."

Dean leaned forward on an article that caught his attention.

"Apparently though a lot of people have suddenly been put into Wolf Point Hospital where patients have been checked-in claiming to have sudden loss of energy. Some have actually gotten close to dying."

"So what does that mean?" Jess asked, sitting down with the pin needle resting on her legs.

"It means," Dean said, standing up slowly before going towards his duffle bag, "that there's a possible case."

"Can we come?" Crystal blurted, surprising everyone with the question.

Just from the short time knowing her, the brothers were surprised that the scared one of the two wanted to come along, outside the safety of their home, with a human hunter.

"Why?" Dean asked suspiciously.

Crystal's cheeks turned a faint shade of blue, something that was explained to them saying that due to her ice magic, the action was simply her way of blushing.

"I wanna help." She said bravely, looking up at the human, "Plus what if it's something you don't know? Jess and I know a good chunk of supernatural creatures, we can help."

The redhaired girl didn't protest in the offer, and though she was surprised with how straightforward Crystal was being, she found no harm in helping the two out. Especially if it meant keeping Crystal's mind on something other than her missing her mate.

"Besides, we do know some runes that could help out." Jess finally quipped in hopes of persuading the hunter, "We won't be in the way."

"Their work is interesting." Sam added, recalling the symbols drawn on the walls of the girls' home, "If anything they could just stay in the room."

Both girls held their tongue at that, fully knowing that both would loudly protest if they were to be put in such case.

Dean stood in the middle of the room thinking it over.

On one hand, they would have two witches with them which Dean didn't fully trust despite the information given to him and his brother. However, from what he was told by Sam, the girls did have a fairly impressive knowledge on wards and protection runes.

After a while, Dean finally sighed.

"Alright," he sighed, "you can come. Grab what you need. We'll be leaving in an hour."

Jess smirked when she caught sight of how happy Crystal was on the idea of helping people. It wasn't like what they did back home, but it was something. If anything, they might find a clue on how to get back to their world.

And it helped how Crystal would finally get to ride in a car for the first time too.
