Kasidy woke up with a gasp. She looked around the dark room, searching for something familiar, trying to get her eyes to adjust to her surroundings.
"Kas?" a voice mumbled sleepily. "is that you?" There was some fumbling as a small light turned on. Kasidy turned and looked towards it; her eyes still blurring some but starting to focus.
"Kas thank God, you're finally awake!" her brother grabbed her into a tight hug. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know what to do and I just wanted you to get some sleep and I swear I'll never do that again. Ever." He stopped and looked at her, searching for any signs of anger or forgiveness.
"Dean?" Kasidy sleepily said. She looked at him, seeing clearly, and noticed how tired he looked. His hair was messy from the little nap he had been caught taking in a chair next to the couch she was on, but there were big dark circles under his exhausted hazel eyes.
"Yeah Kas?"
"What the hell is going on?" Dean laughed at that and sat down next to his sister.
"Kas, you've been out cold for three days. I had no idea that Bobby's tea concoction was that strong. Neither did he apparently. He's been kicking his own ass over it."
"It wasn't the tea Dean." He gave her a curious look.
"Well, what was it then?"
"It was mom." Dean just stared at her, not sure what to say. "Mom was there. She showed me things. She showed me what life was suppose to be like." A tear ran down her face. "Dean, I need my phone."
"Wait, hold on. You need to explain this more to me. You can't just tell me that you were out for 3 days because Mom showed you things." Dean's face was worried.
"Dean, it's okay. Everything is going to be alright. I'm fine. I just need to make a call and then I'll explain everything. We're going to find Sam, Dean. She told me what we need to do." Kasidy looked Dean in his eyes. He could see that she was telling him the truth and that she wasn't lying to him.
"Alright." Dean sighed and got up to get her phone. He brought it to her and she dialed a number from her address book. Dean watched her curiously as her face went a very light shade of white.
"Yeah, yeah it really is me. Is this really you?" Kasidy spoke into her phone. Dean just sat there confused as hell. "Okay, okay, that's enough. I believe it's you. Oh my god, I can't believe I'm talking to you. You need to get out here. Sam's missing and, well I'll explain when you get here." She paused as the person on the other end was talking. "Yeah, we're at Bobby's. Make sure you don't get followed here and be careful. And hurry." She hung up her phone, looked at Dean and let out a deep breath. "Well, I guess I'll start at the beginning."
For the next ten minutes, Kasidy explained what had happened while she was asleep to Dean. Bobby woke up and had come into the room shortly after she began the story and he sat, listening intently. When Kasidy got to the part about Mary Winchester showing up and communicating with her, Dean grunted.
"Kas, come on. I mean, it's great that you dreamt about Mom. I'm sorry you had to dream about all the shitty things that have happened the last few years, but it was all a dream Kas. Mom wasn't really there." He looked at Bobby for confirmation.
"Well, I don't know Dean. It's not common, but it's not impossible. Let's hear the rest of what your sister has to say before we jump to any conclusions. It's completely possible, although extremely rare." He smacked Dean from behind his head for interrupting Kasidy.
Kasidy sighed, and continued telling the two about how Mary had shown her what was suppose to happen before the demons interfered and taken over Christian's body. She stopped talking after she told them about how her mom had told her that Sam's fate was in Christian's hands.
"Holy shit Kas, this is some heavy shit. Did mom say anything else?" Dean searched his little sister's dark brown eyes.
Kasidy looked at her brother. She had tried to stay so strong, not breaking down in front of him, but all her efforts failed at that moment. Tears started streaming down her face. "She told me to tell you we'll all be together again someday. She doesn't want me to let you ever forget that. And as for Sammy, I need to help him, protect him from whatever is going on with him." Dean had tears forming in his eyes now too.
"Dammit Kasidy. Your sure this was really Mom?"
"She felt real, I hugged her and she hugged me and it felt real. She smelt just like I remember too. I think it was Dean. She knew things about me, that not even you or Sam knew." Kasidy sighed, knowing that she was going to have to come clean about her failed pregnancy later.
Bobby looked back and forth a few times at the two confused Winchesters. "I'd say that it's probably true. I mean, like Mary said, it was divine intervention, right? And a mom will do whatever she can to save her kids. Ruby's gotten Sam into some heavy shit. I'm not a fan of the conclusion, I mean, like I said this is incredibly rare, but I've learned that nothing is impossible, and I believe Kasidy. I don't think she had a normal dream. You saw her Dean, she was asleep for three days. Neither of us could wake you, and I've never seen someone look so exhausted after sleeping half a week." Dean looked at her and nodded.
"You do look exhausted, and I know I am. I've been staying awake as long as possible waiting for you to wake up. I felt terrible for tricking you, but I was worried about you. I guess I learned my lesson." Kasidy hugged Dean.
"I'm ok. I'm tired, which is weird, but I think I could use a nap before Christian gets here." She stopped after saying that. "Holy shit, Christian's going to be here. I need to take a shower!" She went to jump up and Dean grabbed her.
"Not so fast. The man has seen you in much worse conditions, and if you don't sleep now, you won't for another three days. Now, just get to sleep. I'll set an alarm. He won't be here for a good eight hours, and that's if he drives 100 miles per hour the whole way here." Kasidy nodded at Dean. He was right and she was emotionally drained. Some sleep would be good, especially with the task in front of her.
The two headed upstairs and laid down in a guest bedroom. "You know, Kasidy, I know it's kind of weird to people that you sleep in the same bed as your brother. I'd totally understand if you sleep somewhere else." Dean said, somewhat sheepishly.
"Dean, we're Winchesters. We don't abandon each other when they need us. Do you sleep better when I'm near you? Less nightmares?" Dean nodded slowly. "Well, then I'll be here as long as you need me bro. I love you."
Dean smiled and sighed. "Damn you and Sammy and your chick-flick ways. I love you too sis." He remembered what she had said about Mary knowing secrets Sam and Dean didn't even know and went to open his mouth to ask her about it. Kasidy stuck a finger to his lips in a 'shh' sort of way.
"Not now Dean. Don't ruin our chick-flick moment. I don't want to do this now. When I wake up, I'll explain that one. Now sleep." Dean sighed, but agreed. His breathing quickly fell into a rhythm as he went into a dreamless sleep next to his snoring sister.
