"Hi-ya Sammy I welcome you to my humble domain, are you here to get your mind blown?" She took on her gypsy persona and clicked her remote to flick the lights on and off. Dean grunted at being completely ignored as Sam took a seat.

"Is this what you've been doing all this time? Reading minds? By the way, where did that guy go?" Sam had noticed that the blonde British rock-star looking guy went into the tent and did not come out.

"What guy?" Normally she would just tell him but this time it might be a good idea to be invasive.

"The blonde, rock star you were yelling at just a second ago, before he vanished in thin air." Dean was answering her question, she didn't look at him but did react to his words, so that was a start.

"Don't be dramatic, he went out the back, its closer to the restrooms. Now are you really here to ask about my clients or were you going to ask me about this thing we're hunting?" They came into her tent for a reason, she didn't exactly have a sign on the front saying her name and family connections.

"Actually you were out prime suspect but since its you... were back to square one."

"Too bad, I don't have any leads yet but i've crossed some people off the list. Why are you hunting here anyways, I heard of a ghost only about an hour from Bobby's?" Normally they hunt close to where they are staying, she realized to late she should have just gotten the answer from their minds.

"We found Ellen's number in Dad's phone, figured we'd check it out. That led us to her and Holli's roadhouse where they found us a case." Sam said all of this like she would know exactly who he was talking about, she did but didn't want them to know she knew.

"Who?" She pretended to be so sighed and looked at Sam with an obvious I told you so expression.

"Seriously? Cut the crap, Ellen told us all about you and Holli, even if she hadn't we already knew her. I can't say she was anymore friendly this time than the last."Dean was sick of her pretending she knew nothing. She saw the truth in their heads, Holli was never nice to them but this was a new low.

*Earlier that morning.*

"Oh god I hope thats a rifle." After breaking into the roadhouse and looking around Dean was stopped by a gun in his back.

"Nope just real happy to see you Dean, what are you doing here?" Holli was in fact holding a rifle to his back, not that she needed to. She figured threatening him with the power he had no clue she had, would do way more harm than good.

"Oh Holli good to see you, can't say you've changed much." He turned on her taking the gun from her hands. She punched him in the face hard enough to cause bleeding, and took the gun back. Cocking it and pointing it at his head this time. Dean yelled for help.

"Sorry Dean, I'm a little tied up at the moment." He came in with Ellen pointing a gun at his head. She looked between the two of them and realized who they must be.

"Sam? Dean? Winchester? You Johns boys?"Since she knew them she took the gun away from Sam's head, Holli wasn't as trusting.

"Yeah." They said this at the same time surprised that this woman knew them through John.

"Mom? We can't just let them go. You know what they did to Jo." Holli still had her gun pointed at Dean's head.

"Yes I know, but we should hear them out. I'm Ellen by the way, this is my daughter Holli." After she found out who her mom was she went to visit her, without her father. They talked and decided that Holli could work for her and hunt with her father, when he needed her. Since no angels came down and told them it was a bad idea, they both agreed. Holli took the gun away from his head but didn't put it down. She didn't trust these guys.

They sat at the bar and talked with Ellen while Holli sat at a table a few feet away cleaning her gun and glaring at them.

"So, how do you know Jo?" Dean had a lot of questions to ask but this was the first to come to mind.

"She's been Holli's best friend since she was 13, recently she's been around about every other day, and when she's not here Holli is sneaking out to see her." Ellen knew all about them, not the being a couple thing, but the fact that they were Queens of separate realms where souls go. She knew they had unfathomable power. She didn't know what she knew when Jo came to visit her. After all of the pain it put Jo through, Holli decided to build a wall in her Mom's head to block out the future. It made her much more agreeable and far happier. The future is quite a burden to put on anyones shoulders.

"Hmm would have been nice if she told us about that." Dean was talking about how his daughter had some sort of secret life that she somehow kept from both of them.

"As if you have the right to ask anything of her." Holli spoke up from where she was sitting, still glaring at them and Dean turned towards her, sensing a fight Sam stood between them.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Dean looked around Sam and asked her this she stood up and stepped up to him threatening him with a look that said she would rather shoot him than talk him.

"Oh you know how much you screwed her up. Throwing her away when she wasn't even old enough to talk, pretending to be her brother so you can run around and chase ghosts without the burden of a daughter? And don't even get me started on how you neglected her, not even looking for her when she was missing for the better part of a year." Now she was accusing him directly, saying things Jo wouldn't have told him in a million years.

"You think I wanted to do that? I love Jo.. you have no idea what your talking about." Dean was talking the defensive route instead of talking about his feelings.

"Oh I don't I know her better than you ever will. She's so strong but you broke her, you, Cas, and John. I'm not even sure any of you actually love her." Holli stepped up to him ignoring Sam who was trying to get between them. She shoved him, actually wanting a fight.

"I don't want to fight you bitch but I will." Once again he deflected, instead of facing her words he geared up for a fight.

"Bring it on I can take you down in a heartbeat." Holli's eyes started to glow a deep black it was obvious she was seconds from releasing the darkness inside her. Something that would turn this whole bar into rolled his hand into a fist and was about to swing it, when Ellen fired her gun.

"Thats enough. Holli go to your room. I have to talk to these boys and I don't want you damaging them." Holli stalked off blinking the glow out of her eyes, Dean hadn't noticed it but Sam thought it was strange.

"What was that about?" Sam asked Ellen as he sat down again at the bar. Ellen sighed.

"She hasn't been the same since she got back, she was always very protective of Jo but.. to try to start a fight with you two, thats not like her." When Holli first came to her, not on a birthday she was over joyed, but then she started to get dark. Wouldn't come out of her room for days at a time, started fights in the bar and left people near death when she won. Then suddenly she left, of course she came back a week later. Then she was fine again, perfectly happy, until she disappeared completely for 8 months that is.

"Got back? From where?"Dean was asking this barley curious.

"She was missing for about 8 months, just got back a month ago. Scared me half to death walking in here like she spent all that time in a ditch somewhere. She says she doesn't remember what happened but sometimes I see this look... shes been through something terrible. I just wish she would talk to me about it." Dean and Sam exchanged a look. Jo disappeared for the same amount of time and she came back the same way. Not herself. That is until they saved her from possession.

"The same thing happened to Jo. Just up and vanished. Came back about a month ago. She was different and then we learned she was actually possessed. Did you try testing her?" Sam voiced what both him and Dean were thinking.

"Everyone that comes through that door gets tested. I know she's a little rough around the edged right now, but its still her. Anyways I doubt you came her to talk about daughter drama. What can I help you with?"

After that they talked about the demon and found a way to track it through Ash, but it would take some time so they went on a case. Which led them to her tent.
