Kat heard the footsteps and stood up instantly. She then saw the three of them enter the room. Dean and Sam were both looking at her but Brittany showed no sign of knowing that Kat was there. Brittany ran over to her alter and Kat took the chance to hand the paper to Sam who nodded. Then Dean looked back at Kat and she winked at him and charged for Brittany.
The boys saw Kat's spirit disappear into Brittany's form. Brittany turned and looked at them with a look of hatred towards the boys.
Brittany- "Do you really think that she can take me. This will kill her I hope you know."
Before Sam or Dean could answer the form fell to the floor. The body began to have tremors which they figured were Kat and Brittany fighting for control. Sam and Dean quickly looked at the paper and began reciting what was on it. They said it once and nothing happened so they continued repeating it until they saw the body stop moving.
They saw the spirit of Brittany rise from the body and burst into flames. That's when they knew that she was gone. But where was Kat they wondered. And then they saw her. Even her transparent form had physical marks from the fight, and they could see what looked like blood on some of them.
Kat- "Okay that was…what the…"
And with that they saw her spirit disappear. Dean and Sam both screamed her name but go no answer. That's when they ran down the stairs to the car and headed back to the hotel.
When they ran into the hotel they saw Kat. Her body had the same scratches and cuts on it as her spirit did when they had last seen it. Dean ran over to her and noticed that she was cold and there was no pulse. He then checked to see if she was breathing and she wasn't.
Dean- "Sam, she's not breathing."
Sam- "What? Are you sure?"
Dean was already starting to pick up the body when he motioned to Sam to get the door.
Dean- "Sam let's go!"
Sam followed his brother to the car where Dean started the engine and was driving faster than he had ever driven before. Sam was calling the hospital explaining that they had a patient coming in.
When they arrived at the hospital the doctors quickly took Kat away. Dean and Sam were left in the waiting room hoping that everything would turn out right. Dean was pacing and Sam was sitting in a chair just shaking his head.
Sam- "Dean, she's strong, after what she did she has to be fine." His voice was very shaky even though he tried his best to hide it.
Dean- "I know Sammy, I know." Dean had finally taken a seat next to his brother and they both sat in silence both not wanting to think of the outcome that was most likely going to happen.
In the operating room, the doctors were desperately trying to get Kat's heart to start. They had tried and tried and nothing seemed to be working. She had been like that for such a long time that they had finally given up hope. The doctor's looked at each other with sadness in their eyes, knowing that they had just lost another young soul.
Just as the lead doctor was calling the time of death there was a beep on the heart monitor. Some how her heart had started again. The doctors all looked over at each other in amazement. There was no way that she should still be alive. Then they saw her eyes open very weakly.
Doctor- "It's okay. Don't try to sit up, we're giving something to let you rest. You're very weak and it's a miracle that you're alive. You're going to be just fine just close your eyes and rest."
Kat listened to doctor knowing that something had saved her life even after she herself had given up.
Dean and Sam both sat up a little straighter when they saw the doctor coming towards them.
Doctor- "Winchester?"
Dean- "Yeah, how is she? She's not…"
Doctor- "She was really bad when she came in and we tried repeatedly to bring her back but nothing was working on her heart…"
Sam- "Are you sure you tried everything!" he said frantically.
Doctor- "But something caused her heart to start again after we were about to call it. I don't know what happened but something out there certainly didn't want her to leave her yet. We gave her a sedative to help her sleep and get some rest, but she's going to be just fine."
Dean- "Thanks, Doc."
Sam and Dean entered the very plain hospital room where Kat had been put to recover. They both couldn't believe what had happened. The doctor was about to call it and then her heart just started? It didn't make much sense at all but neither of them was about to argue with it. They were both happy that everything had turned out right.
They each pulled up a chair on either side of the hospital bed and turned on the TV. They weren't sure how long they were going to be there but they didn't want to risk going to sleep.
About four hours passed when Dean had felt Kat's hand move. He had been holding her hand because it made him reassured that she was still there. Both Dean and Sam turned to look at her as her eyes flew open and she took a very deep, shocking breath.
Dean just smiled at her- "Hey."
Sam- "Well it's about time that you come back. This whole death stuff is becoming a little too common for you."
Kat didn't answer either of them but just looked around. She couldn't believe that she was back. She remembered everything and couldn't believe what had happened to her. It was so unreal and something had pulled her back. For some reason she was given back her life that was not meant to be taken away yet. What that reason was she had no idea but she was going to find out.
Dean- "Hey, are you okay?" he said with great concern.
Kat- "Yeah, sorry just thinking."
Sam- "Well I think that it's about time we drop by home again to check in on everything."
Dean- "Sounds good and no protests!"
Kat- "Fine, but next time I get the easy floor. I really don't want to have to go through that again!"
Dean- "Believe me, neither do we."
Dean leaned down and kissed her lips and she just smiled back at him. Sam went and began to check Kat out.
Dean- "So do you wanna talk about it?"
Kat- "Not right now, it's a little confusing. But thanks."
Dean- "For what?"
Kat- "Everything."
By the time Sam returned Kat was already starting to get all of her stuff together and getting ready to leave. She looked as though nothing had ever happened. It was as if all of her strength was back to normal. And with that they all piled into the car and were about to head home until the go coordinates that lead to Pennsylvania. They all decided that that would now be there next destination and were on their way to see what was awaiting them. This time Dean was driving and had his music on with Sam sleeping in the back and Kat next to him. Every once and a while they would lock eyes and everything was right.
THE END
