The early morning sun was just rising. The trio appeared in an alleyway. "Okay, we look stupid!" Abby hissed. "We're all wearing pajamas, with socks and no shoes, and only Levi has a sweater." she explained.
"Let your freak flag fly..." Juliet sneakily looked out onto the street but pulled back. "There's a car coming," she whispered. They heard said car shut off, and only three of four doors open, and then a knock on one of the door windows.
"Ever hear of a door handle?" a young female voice asked.
Wondering who the slightly older girl was, Juliet then noticed all the Reapers. She wanted to scream! They always freaked her out! Levi and Abby couldn't see them, so she said nothing.
"Of course I have," an older male voice replied.
Abby gasped, covering her mouth. "Uncle Cas!" she recognized. Juliet raised her dark blue eyes at the girl her senior. Well, it was true. Castiel was considered all of their uncle. She was the kid of an angel she'd never met...and all other angels who weren't kids of angels were considered aunts and uncles.
Too many to count, Abby would say, as Gabriel would tell her.
"I see Lynn!" Levi hushed, who moved over next to Juliet. "She looks different!" now the girls peered over to see who all exactly came from the car.
"What is it, Cas?" the older lady who looked like the younger lady, asked.
"Reapers," Castiel announced.
"Reapers? Is there more than one?" Levi wondered if Reapers looked like skeletons.
"They only gather like this at times of great catastrophe," Castiel explained. "Chicago Fire, San Francisco Quake, Pompeii. Excuse me, I need to find out why they're here..." Abby watched him walk off.
"Um...I'll stay," Lynn decided to the other women. She did look different. Immature, young, and a little shorter in height. Her eyes were still that shiny green, causing and old familiar smile spread on Abby's face.
The trio waited until they got back in the car and drove away before they decided to leave the alley. When they slowly were walking through town, Levi and Abby wondered why Juliet would zigzag through the streets.
They didn't know it was because she was trying not to touch the Reapers.
"Where are we going?" Levi asked. "What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know," Abby said. "Just keep following Juliet. Are your feet cold?"
"A little," he admitted. He stopped walking with Abby when Juliet froze.
He could hear growling.
"Oh, my God," Juliet turned around and she shrieked. "HELLHOUNDS! RUN!"
Hellhounds-? Like Raffae? Why was Juliet scared? Weren't Hellhounds good?
As if history was repeating itself, only Levi was taking Phoenix's place, Abby grabbed her brother's hand as they ran as fast as they could past Juliet, away from the hounds.

Phoenix was nibbling on a chocolate bar, while watching Keri introduce Isaac to Monopoly. "That girl looks like him," Blake noticed.
"Looks like who?" Phoenix asked.
"The angel who took Carmen's grace. Same hair color, thin eyes, how does Gabriel think she can help? It'll only piss that angel off more when we see we have his kid." he explained.
"Leverage. Bait." Carmen assumed. "If he won't give our Graces back...then...hopefully he'll listen before anyone has to hurt the kid." she explained.
"At least she's keeping Isaac occupied," Annie said in relief. "I know he is worried about Levi and Abigail." she admitted.
The front door opened, and in came Sarah with a lot of purchased bins of Maxwell and Folgers coffee. "I figured none of us were gonna be sleeping for now, in case someone else decides to take off in the middle of the night." she explained.
Phoenix grinned. "Can I make some for Lynny, Addy, and Serafina?" she asked.
"Yeah, that might do them some good. They'll see what caffeine does to humans," Sarah and her daughter walked into the kitchen as they spoke. Phoenix stopped for a moment and turned around.
"Isaac! Keri! I have a job for you guys!" she yelled.
"What is it?" Isaac demanded. "We're playing a game!"
"Go downstairs and ask the twins how they like their coffee, and then go ask Lynny, and then come report to me!" Phoenix instructed.
Isaac scowled lightly, but got up when Keri did. They disappeared into the basement, Blake then asking, "Where's Lyra and that Samm guy?"
"They're on the hill," Carmen told him. "Watching the ocean I guess..."

Levi was wailing. He was sat on the floor of the backseat of a car Juliet forced open after running from the Hellhounds. She'd manage to hold them off, but not before one of them managed to claw his left arm, and Abby's abdomen.
Juliet was screaming at him to shut up, while she tried to tend to Abby, who was stretched out on the backseat, too busy crying lightly and in pain to tell Juliet to stop being harsh to her brother.
Juliet had just placed her hand on Abby's stomach, healing her completely, when a Hellhound on the right side of the car rammed into it, the car flipping over and upside down.
"Get back! Stay! What...have we got here?"
Upside down, Juliet grabbed Levi's arm and fixed him up, and he stopped crying when they both saw a lady with curly dark hair, and a mischievous grin stare at them from upside down to them. Juliet wanted to get far away...this was a demon!
She saw that the special Blade Death gave them had slipped out of Abby's back pocket, onto the floor. She grabbed it and slipped it into the back of Levi's pajama pants. "Shhh..." she told him.
"Come on out," the demon lady got the door open, so Juliet and Levi could climb out. Why wasn't Abby moving? Juliet held onto Levi protectively as they knelt down. It looked like Abby hit her head when the car flipped, knocking her out instantly.
"Abby! Help her!" Levi cried.
"She'll be okay," Juliet promised.
"You are so adorable," the demon lady said to Levi. "Too bad you guys are kids...you'll have to go join the other kids...buried in the ditch at the farm." she explained.
"Screw you, ugly!" Juliet moved her hand in a cupping motion, the demon lady writhing in pain. What Juliet did next, was learned from both Carmen and Gabriel. A while ago, Carmen had her watch that one popular vampire show that was on a few years ago...the vampires could use their powers to 'compel' any human to do as they said. Juliet had wondered if angels could do that, so she went and asked Gabriel about it.
When the demon lady had endured so much pain she fell unconscious, Juliet said clearly, "You'll forget you saw the three of us, and when you wake up, you'll go back to what you were doing..." and snapped her fingers. "...I hope that worked."
She pulled Abby from out of the car, hearing the growling again. Crap! Juliet looked at Levi, and said, "Levi, I need you to be a big boy for me, okay? A really big boy."
"Bigger than Isaac?" Levi asked.
"Yes," Juliet said.
"Bigger than Jasper?"
"Yes,"
"Bigger than Dad?"
"Yes," Juliet said. "I gave you the Blade. I'm gonna send Abby somewhere safe, and then get the Hellhounds away from here," she told him. "When I lead them away, they'll forget about you. I can send you to the end of the street at the edge of town. I need you to run to the farm and hide until I come for you." she explained.
"I can't! I don't want to see the dead kids in the ditch!"
"You won't see them I promise. Big boy, remember? You have to be the Commander now." Juliet touched Abby's forehead, and she was gone. "You can do it, Levi!" she touched his forehead, and he reappeared at the edge of town.
"...bigger than Isaac," Levi breathed. "Bigger than Jasper...bigger than Dad...bigger than Jamie...bigger than Blake..." he pumped his little legs off the street, where he could see the farm...and several men all standing eerily close to another. "Lets go, men...!" Levi bellowed bravely as he ran around the frozen men, and dove into a patch of bushes.
All he had to do was wait quietly for Juliet to come for him...right?
Juliet had gotten away from the hounds. She wished she'd have brought Raffae with them...which led her to stumble across another off-topic thought.
Her father...her real father, who made her what she was...was alive in this time. This was her one chance to meet him...! From several stories she heard from Gabriel, Bobby, and the Winchesters about the night Death finally walked the earth, thanks to Lucifer...
It had to be this day. All the reapers...no doubt! Forgetting that Levi was waiting for her, Juliet made sure Abby was laying in the back of the Winchesters' black car, and followed the four human auras, consisting of said Winchesters, and the two blonde ladies, towards a hardware store.
All Juliet had to do was tap into Dean's mind, and find out when he met her father. A simple poke would grant her access.
She appeared inside of the hardware store, where Dean was using a radio to speak with someone. Juliet approached him from behind and poked his arm, and instantly, his thoughts could be read. She almost grinned, but a held back gasp caught her off guard.
The Lynn of this time saw her.

Right as Isaac was about to get Lynn awake, he jumped back when she jolted up, her eyes wide with shock.
"How do you like your coffee-?" Isaac mumbled. "Phoenix wants to know..."
Lynn ignored him. All she could think of was the memory. The day in Carthage...why was she remembering it?
Juliet.
She was in the hardware store for about three seconds, the memory hitting her. Impossible! Lynn thought about what was happening. NO! Lynn was fine with keeping Gabriel and the others in the dark about whatever secret operation Juliet was doing...
But screwing up history, creating false memories-? Out of the question! Lynn growled as she got out of bed, weak, but made it to the door and downstairs.
"Gabriel," she said, holding onto the archway.
"He went out," Annie told her. "...is everything okay?" Phoenix and Sarah were staring in from the kitchen then.
Lynn shook her head. "I know where Juliet is, and it's not good," she announced. "And Phoe," she added, "I like my coffee with lots of sugar and lots of creamer."
