Alyssa's POV
I walked out of my bathroom fixing my hair when someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" I called.
"It's me." Dad's voice responded.
"Come in."
He did as I grabbed my bag.
"I am learning today?"
"No, um…we have to leave."
I raised an eyebrow.
"What? Why?"
"Some things happened and we need to ok? So pack your things and come to the car."
"Alright." I sighed.
He nodded leaving again and I packed up my things. As I did I glanced at my bag. Ok, I know I'm fifteen for god's sake and this should probably be in the trash but it wasn't. I went to my backpack pulling up the old toy. She was a little beaten up but with a few good fixes from dad she was always better.
"Hey Hope." I mumbled putting a hand on the soft antler. "Good to see you. You won't believe my nightmare."
I felt so lame talking to a little toy moose but screw it right? She's been the one thing that kept me sane for years. She was there to give me actual hope that dad would come back. Might as well. I sighed.
"We'll be some place new again and this time I'll take you out. Promise."
I kissed the toy then put it in my bag. I was way to attached to her but I couldn't un-attach to her. The only thing that could probably do that is if I felt like dad didn't love me any more. That would never happen though. I stood up carrying my backpack and duffel bag of clothes. Outside my room stood dad and Dean waiting.
"I'm ready." I nodded.
"Let's go then." Dean said as dad wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
We walked down and out into the car. I put my duffel bag in the trunk then went into my spot in the backseat. I watched as the hotel disappeared. I curled up in my seat closing my eyes waiting to land either at Bobby's or a new place.
"Crap, I forgot something." Dean sighed.
"Swear. What did you forget?" I asked.
"My phone."
I opened my eyes as dad looked at him causing Dean to shrug.
"How do you forget your phone?" I questioned.
"Easily."
He turned around and I rolled my eyes leaning back into my seat again.
"Like I said, I don't want to be you Dean."
"Hey!" He complained.
"Love you." I smiled.
He shook his head as he went to the back.
"Why didn't you park out front?"
"Because. Sam, come with me."
"Yeah, sure. Alyssa stay here."
"Ok, ok."
They both left and I looked out the window spacing out as I waited. I waited for a while. I looked the way they went confused only to see Tyler and Maggie walking towards a building. I remember Tyler told me that's where the pool was. I got out following the girls.
They went to the second floor and I was lagging a bit behind. When I got to the top they were over the railing the only thing keeping them up being themselves as they held on.
"I don't like it up here. I'm scared." Tyler said as I watched walking forward carefully.
"It's okay. All you have to do is jump." Maggie told her.
"What?!" I thought.
"I can't swim."
"I know. But it won't hurt. I promise. And then we can be together, forever. And no one will bother us."
"Why don't you just come with me and Mommy?"
"Because I can't leave here. And you can't leave me. Please. I don't want to be alone."
"Tyler." I said. "Get away from there."
I didn't care about Maggie. She was trying to murder Tyler!
"Go away." Maggie hissed at me.
"Maggie. Leave her alone and let her come to me. Tyler, come on." I begged taking a careful step forward.
"Alyssa." Tyler said fear creeping in.
"It's ok. Just come over to me."
Now I heard pounding on the door and I knew it was Susan though I heard my family's voices.
"Tyler!" Susan called.
"Alyssa!" Dad yelled.
More pounding.
"Maggie. Get away from her and let her come to me. No harm, no foul."
"Tyler!"
"Mommy!" Tyler begged.
Everything happened so fast. Maggie grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward and by reflex I sprinted forward leaning over the railing wrapping one arm around Tyler's waist but there was too much momentum and I fell too. I snatched the railing holding in my screams.
"Alyssa!" I heard dad shout as Susan screamed for Tyler.
"Tyler! Stay still!" I commanded as I lifted her up.
She grabbed the railing and pulled herself over. Now she let out a short scream as Maggie stood there having my hands lose my hold and I fell into the pool screaming this time. I struggled with the plastic wrapping around me as I prayed I could make it out.

Sam's POV
Panic was defiantly there as I watched Tyler fall but then Alyssa darted forward catching her around the waist then fell herself. I saw her gripping the railing and I couldn't help but shout her name.
"Tyler! Stay still!" I heard her say.
She managed to get her above onto the floor again but all the sudden she had no grip and fell.
"Is there another entrance?" Dean asked Susan.
"Around back."
"All right, let's go. Keep working." He said to me.
"What do you think I'm doing?" I snapped at him.
I kept knocking against the door then turned around seeing the plant pot. I quickly went over pulling the plant out, picked up the pot, and starts pounding the door with it.

Alyssa's POV
I struggled to the side of the pool then grabbed the edge pulling myself above. I took a large gasp of breath then something pushed my head under. I could glance up slightly seeing Maggie was the one. How could she over power me the fifteen year old?! I kept struggling unable to pull away from her grasp as oxygen became less and less before everything went black.

Sam's POV
"Alyssa." I thought smashing the pot as hard as I could against the glass. "I won't let anything happen to you. I will protect you."
As soon as I thought it I smashed the glass apart. I quickly crawled through then jumped over the railing landing not far from my daughter. I grabbed her quickly pulling her above the water. She wasn't breathing.
"No. Come on. Alyssa Mary Winchester don't do this." I hissed feeling the panic coming.
I brought her over to the edge putting her on the ground as Dean, Susan, and Tyler ran over. Susan quickly hugged Tyler as I pulled myself out of the pool. I got on my knees next to her about ready to do CPR when she coughed up the water in her lungs. She took deep breaths looking around wildly.
"Alyssa!" I cried bringing her into my arms.

Alyssa's POV
I coughed up water as my eyes shot open. I looked around expecting to see Maggie but I saw dad, Dean, Susan, and Tyler.
"Alyssa!" Dad cried hugging me.
I was surprised for a second but then quickly wrapped my arms around him. I took deep breaths taking in all the air I could. I put my head on dad's shoulder trying to control my breathing at the same time.
"Tyler, do you see Maggie anywhere?" Dean asked her.
Tyler shook her head.
"Where'd…she go?" I questioned my words spilling slowly.
"Shh." Dad shushed me holding onto me tightly. "Don't worry about it."
Now was the point I realized he was wet too. He was the one that saved me.
"Thank…you." I breathed.
"I love you my little moose." He mumbled.
"I…love…you too."
"Come on." He muttered lifting me up in his arms bridle style.
To him, I was probably as light as feather, since he easily crossed the room in a few strides.
"You go with Susan and Tyler." Dad threw over his shoulder at Dean. "I'll take care of Alyssa."
"Considering you're almost gone." Dean muttered.
Dad carried me outside and straight back to the Impala.
"Won't…Dean get mad…if his leather seats…get wet?" I smiled.
"Screw Dean."
He put me down on the seat and sat next to me.
"What were you thinking?" Dad questioned me.
"Saving a little…girl's life…is very good."
"But you almost died doing so. What possessed you to do something so impulsive?"
"I'm…a teenage girl. I think…that's the definition."
He put a hand on top of my head sighing.
"Don't scare me like that again."
"I'll try."
He pulled me into another hug kissing me on the forehead before he rested his head on top of mine. I put my arms around him too just wanting to know he was there. He was my protector, he was my friend, he was my father. I was never letting him go no matter what.
Now a scream echoed outside. Dad quickly turned the hotel.
"I want you to stay right here." He commanded me. "If you see Maggie any where scream. Got it?"
I nodded. He jumped out of the car running inside the hotel yelling out Dean's name. I closed the door locking it. I pulled my legs close as I waited. There wasn't anything befor I saw dad come out again Dean not far behind. I unlocked the door as Dean went to come in.
"Hey kid, you feeling better?" He asked starting the car.
I nodded. He pulled the car around front as I saw emergency vehicles coming. Once he turned off the engine he left going over to Susan and Tyler along with dad. I sighed. Another adventure over and time to move onto the next. I pulled my jacket out of my backpack and put it over me as I curled up in the backseat taking a well deserved nap.

Third Person POV
"Well, you saved the mom, you saved your girl. Not a bad day. 'Course you know, I could have saved 'em myself, but I didn't want you to feel useless." Dean joked with Sam as they stood by the Impala.
"All right, I appreciate it." Sam rolled his eyes looking in the backseat seeing his daughter sleeping peacefully.
"Feels good getting back in the saddle, doesn't it?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, it does. But it doesn't change what we talked about last night, Dean." He said meeting his gaze.
"We talked about a lot of things last night."
"You know what I mean."
"You were wasted."
"But you weren't. And you promised."
That ticked Dean off slightly as he glanced at Alyssa in the backseat.
"Yeah, but what the hell are you going to do about that fifteen year old girl in the backseat that is going to be bawling her eyes out when she finds out you're dead?"
Sam looked at her as well. He didn't want to hurt her emotionally but he didn't want to hurt her physically more. If he turned into something he wasn't then he probably would so he made up his mind as he looked at his brother.
"She's better off without me if I go dark."
Sam climbed into the car now as Dean sighed frustrated. That was one of the best cards he had to play and it did nothing. He just hoped Alyssa could convince him soon that he was all good and she needed him more than anything.
