HOME

Evie's POV

I was walking down the street with a tray full with coffees and a takeout bag filled with breakfast and slipped the key into the lock of the door in front of the Impala, we were currently in-between cases at the moment so we'd been staying here for a few days now and I was itching to move on since life on the road has left me with the feeling of being restless when staying in one place for too long.

"Breakfast?" I asked seeing both boys were up, Dean was sitting at the table staring down at Sam's laptop in front of him and I looked over seeing Sam sitting up in his dead drawing in a pad of paper making me raise an eye.

"Maybe later" Dean replied so I rolled my eyes putting it down on the table then grabbed the cup of coffee labeled Dean and held it out towards him and he took that.

"Sam coffee?" I asked but he didn't even look up or acknowledge my question so I shook my head grabbing my own and took a generous sip. "So what'cha got?" I asked moving around to look at the computer in front of Dean.

"I've been cruising some websites, I think I found a few candidates for our next gig" he replied taking another sip of his coffee. "A fishing trawler found off the coast of Cali it's crew vanished" he looked over at Sam but he was still not paying attention to us. "And we've got some cattle mutilations in West Texas…hey!" he exclaimed towards Sam and he finally looked up.

"Are we boring you with this hunting-evil stuff?" I asked and he smiled shaking his head.

"No I'm listening, keep going" he replied so I turned back to Dean and we shared a look before I shrugged my shoulders.

"And here, a Sacramento man shot himself in the head, three times" Dean emphasized holding up three fingers but Sam was still not even looking so he waved his hand around for good measure and I shook my head. "Any of these things blowing up your skirt, pal?"

"Wait I've seen this" Sam suddenly spoke up and I frowned confused.

"Seen what?" Dean and I asked him at the same time but Sam ignored us and stood up going towards his duffel bag as Dean took another sip of his coffee looking at his brother in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Dean asked him when he grabbed John's journal setting it on the bed and started flipping through it then grabbed out a photo and held it beside whatever he'd been drawing then looked up at us.

"I know where we have to go next" I frowned raising an eyebrow towards him.

"Where?" Dean asked him.

"Back home, back to Kanas" my eyes widened turning to Dean to see his reaction.

"Okay random" Dean chuckled but I could tell he was taken aback. "Where did that come from?"

"Alright this photo was taken in front of our old house, right?" Sam asked showing Dean the photo he'd taken out of John's journal and I moved to have a look and saw the family photo from way back when Sam was just a baby and their Mom was still alive. "The house where Mom died?"

"Yeah" Dean replied hesitantly and looked up at Sam.

"And it didn't burn down not completely, they rebuilt it right?"

"I guess so yeah, wh…what the hell are you talking about?" Dean shrugged and I took to photo from him getting a better look and couldn't help smile at a four year old Dean, he had such cute chubby cheeks.

"Okay look this is going to sound crazy but the people who live in our old house…I think they might be in danger" Sam replied taking a seat.

"Why would you think that?" Dean asked him as I stayed absolutely silent since this wasn't my conversation to butt in on.

"Uh just…look just you gotta trust me on this, okay?" Sam argued and I turned surprised as he stood up since did he know his brother at all, Dean never went into something blindly especially this close to home emotion wise.

"Okay whoa, whoa, trust you?" Dean asked confirming my suspicion that he wouldn't just go along with this since I knew about his childhood vow never to go back to Lawrence, Kanas.

"Yeah" Sam replied grabbing his duffel and started packing.

"Come on man that's weak, you gotta give us a little more than that" Dean protested standing up and walked over to where Sam stood.

"I can't really explain is all" Sam quickly said cutting Dean off.

"Well tough" Dean exclaimed. "I'm not going anywhere until you do and neither is Evie" I looked up with a glare since he couldn't tell me what to do, Sam turned to face Dean with a heavy sigh.

"I have these nightmares" he admitted as I stood walking to stand beside Dean.

"We've kind of noticed Sammy" I spoke up with a frown.

"And sometimes they come true" Sam added and my eyes furrowed in confusion.

"Come again?" Dean asked as stunned as I was.

"Look guys…I dreamt about Jessica's death for days before it happened" my eyes went up in shock because that couldn't be possible.

"Sam, people have some weird dreams man I'm sure it's just a coincidence" Dean argued sitting on our bed.

"No I dreamt about the blood dripping, her on the ceiling, the fire and I didn't do anything because I didn't believe it and now I'm dreaming about that tree, about our house and about some woman inside screaming for help I mean that's where it all started man, this has to mean something, right?" Sam ranted and I frowned hating the way his voice was slowly breaking.

"I don't know" Dean replied equally emotional so I sat beside him and put my hand on his knee.

"What do you mean you don't know Dean this woman might be in danger, I mean this might even be the same thing that killed Mom and Jessica!"

"Alright just slow down would you!" Dean yelled standing up. "I mean first you tell us that you've got the Shining and then you tell me that I've gotta go back home especially when…" Dean trailed off and I frowned looking up at him.

"When what?" Sam asked as I watched Dean desperately trying to rein in his emotions running his hands over his face before looking up at his brother.

"When I swore to myself that I would never go back there" Dean admitted so I reached out and took his hand squeezing it.

"Look guys, we have to check this out" Sam said in that kicked puppy voice that was impossible to ignore or argue with. "Just to make sure" he added and Dean looked up and I sighed silently seeing Dean had put his mask up.

"I know we do" he replied and Sam turned towards me.

"I'm guess so" I added sighing a little with a slight nod of my head before we started packing up our stuff, Sam was done first and went out to put his bag into the Impala giving me a chance to talk to Dean but I stopped seeing his haunted eyes so I walked up and touched his shoulder. "You sure you can do this?" I asked and he sighed.

"No but…just stay with me okay" I nodded wrapping my arms around his shoulders pulling him into my arms.

"I promise" he nodded against my neck then took a step back and his shield was back up as he grabbed his duffel and mine.

"Let's go" I nodded and followed him out to the Impala and after checking out we were on our way.

I leaned forward against the front seat with my head poking out between them as Dean slowed the car against the curb across from their childhood house and took note the tightness of Dean's shoulders so I reached out and rubbed his shoulders hoping to get him to relax.

"You gonna be alright, man?" Sam asked speaking up.

"Let me get back to you on that" Dean replied turning to him away from the house but quickly turned back staring up at it as Sam opened the door and climbed out, Dean and I shared a look before we got out too and followed Sam up to the house and knocked on the door waiting until a woman opened the door.

"Yes?" she asked seeing us.

"Sorry to bother you ma'am but were with the federal-"

"I'm Sam Winchester" Sam said quickly cutting Dean off and we turned to him. "And this is my brother Dean and his girlfriend Evelyn um…we used to live here, you know we were just driving by and we were wondering if we could come see the old place"

"Winchester" the lady whispered so we turned back towards her. "Yeah that's so funny, you know I think I found some of your photo's the other night" my eyes raised a little.

"You did?" Dean asked as shocked as I was, she smiled then stepped inside and held the door open.

"Okay, come on in" Sam smiled heading in but Dean hesitated so I grabbed his hand squeezing it and he squeezed back as we followed them in.

We followed her back towards the kitchen but Dean was walking slowly and taking in his surroundings pulling me along with him since he hasn't let go of my hand and I knew he wouldn't be anytime soon.

I found myself looking around too since I knew almost everything about that night from Dean's point of view given he told me after I'd comforted him when he'd stayed at Sioux Falls during one of the times John had dropped them off, we were no older than six and eight and he'd woken up from a nasty nightmare recalling that night.

I turned as we stopped in the kitchen smiling a little at a toddler jumping up and down in a pack n' play saying 'Juice' over and over then turned seeing an older girl sitting at the a table looking like she was doing homework.

"I'm Jenny, that's Richie he's kind of a juice junkie but hey at least he won't get scurvy" the lady said getting a sippy cup out of the fridge and handed it to the toddler. "Sari, this is Sam, Dean and Evelyn, the boys used to live here"

"Hi" the young girl waved with a smile.

"Hey Sari" Sam replied with a smile and Dean even managed to wave.

"So you just moved in?" Dean asked looking back at the boxes stacked around the rooms.

"Uh yeah from Wichita"

"You got family here or…?" Dean trailed off so I squeezed his hand.

"No I just uh…needed a fresh start, that's all" she replied and I could tell there was a lot more but it wasn't our place to press into her personal life. "So new town, new job…I mean as soon as I find one, new house" Dean's hand tensed around mine so I looked up and jaw the tense set of his jaw so I squeezed his hand back.

"So how are you liking it so far?" Sam asked her.

"Well all due respect to your childhood home, I mean I'm sure you had a lots of happy memories here" I frowned since it was the exact opposite. "But this place has it's issues"

"What do you mean?" I asked curious.

"Well it's just getting old, like the wiring you know we've got flickering lights almost hourly"

"That's too bad, what else?" Dean asked but I could hear the discomfort in his voice, he hated standing here in this house.

"Um sinks backed up, there's rats in the basement" I frowned since she'd practically named two causes that point to a spirit in the house, flickering lights and rats. "I'm sorry I don't mean to complain"

"No, have you seen the rats or have you just heard the scratching?" I asked just to make sure I was right with my suspicion.

"It's just the scratching actually" she replied and I looked up at Dean and we shared a look.

"Mom?" Sari spoke up turning to her mother. "Ask them if it was here when they lived here" she asked and I frowned.

"What Sari?" Sam asked beating me to the bush.

"The thing in my closet" Sari replied looking up at him.

"Oh no baby, there was nothing in their closets, right?" Jenny replied towards her daughter then looked up at us.

"Right no, no of course not" Sam replied and I nodded.

"She had a nightmare the other night"

"I wasn't dreaming" Sari argued with her Mom. "It came into my bedroom and it was on fire" my eyes widened a little before looking at Dean.

"Well thanks for letting the boys look around, we won't take up any more of your time" I squeezed Dean's hand and walked out leaving the family for now.

"You hear that, a figure on fire" Sam exclaimed as we walked back towards the Impala.

"And that woman Jenny that was the woman from your dream?" Dean asked him.

"Yeah" Sam nodded. "And did you hear what she was talking about, scratching, flickering lights, both signs of a malevolent spirit" I sighed looking up at Sam.

"Sammy just calm down" he was getting worked up. "We're still just freaked out that your visions are coming true"

"Well forget about that for a minute, the thing in the house do you guys think it's the same thing that killed Mom and Jessica?"

"I don't know!" Dean exclaimed so I squeezed his arm.

"Well I mean has it come back or has it been there the whole time?"

"Or maybe it's something else entirely Sam we don't know yet" Dean spat back at him coming to a stop in the middle of the road.

"Well those people are in danger Dean, we have to get them out" Sam argued.

"And we will" Dean replied pulling me with him to the car.

"No I mean now!" Sam exclaimed.

"And how are you gonna do that?" I asked being the logical one.

"She's right, you got a story their gonna believe?" Dean added.

"Then what are we supposed to do?" Sam yelled.

"For one we have to calm down, getting worked up isn't gonna do either of you boys any good since this is already way to close to home for comfort, so let's just go for now and try to figure out a plan before we jump into anything" I cut in looking at Sam. "Okay?" he sighed then nodded so we got into the Impala and drove off stopping at a gas station when Dean said 'Baby' needed a fill up.

"Evie's right we just gotta chill out that's all, you know if this was any other kind of job what would we do?" Dean spoke up from the back of the car as I laid out in the back seat with my feet up on the seat which Dean would usually protest about.

"We'd try to figure out what we're dealing with" Sam replied after a heavy sigh. "We'd dig into the history of the house"

"Exactly" Dean nodded. "Except this time we already know what happened"

"Yeah but how much do we know, I mean how much do you actually remember?" Sam asked leaning against the Impala beside Dean.

"About that night, you mean?" Dean asked him and I looked up through the back window.

"Yeah" Sam nodded urging him to tell.

"Not much, I remember the fire, the heat then I carried you out the front door"

"You did?" Sam asked sounding surprised.

"Yeah, why you never knew that?" Dean asked him.

"No" Sam replied shaking his head.

"And uh, well you know Dad's story as well as I do, Mom was…was on the ceiling, whatever put her there was long gone by the time Dad found her" I frowned since I really wish John would tell us more, since I knew that he had to know more by now.

"And he never had a theory about what did it?" Sam asked voicing my thoughts.

"If he did, he kept it to himself" Dean replied and I laid back down flipping my phone open seeing a voicemail so I called my message bank and pressed the phone to my ear.

'Hey sweetheart, sorry I haven't been home to answer your calls as of late but sounds like you've been busy too with your last case, I'm glad you're okay and sorry you had to face your fear of bugs but you guys did the right thing staying to protect that family, anyway we'll talk soon babycakes, I love you' I hung up with a smile but looked up and it fell seeing Dean was gone so I sat up and climbed out of the backseat.

"Where'd Dean go?"

"Bathroom" Sam replied so I nodded then looked towards the bathrooms.

"I'll go check on him" I walked away heading over but stopped hearing Dean talking with his phone pressed to his ear.

"…but I'm with Evie and Sam and we're in Lawrence" I heard him say and he looked up making me pause like a deer caught in head lights and started to back away but he shook his head and motioned me over so I did and he pulled me towards him with his other arm. "And there's something in our old house, I don't know if it's the same thing that killed Mom or not…but…I don't know what to do" I frowned hearing his voice breaking because Dean never broke down, he was always the rock in my life. "So whatever you're doing, if you could get here…" his lip was trembling so I wrapped my arms around him and rubbed his back in hopes of comfort. "Please, I need your help Dad" he pulled the phone away and snapped it shut ending the call.

I pulled him tighter as he let out a deep trembling sigh and rested his head atop of mine wrapping his arms completely around my waist holding me tight as he took deep breaths calming himself down, we stood this way for a few minutes not saying anything since there were no words for the quiet desperation each of us were feeling in John's absence.

He wasn't just Dean's father since all my life I'd grown up with him visiting so you could say John was like a second father to me and I missed him too but I knew Dean's anguish was deeper since John was always the constant being in his life, the one person that was always there but then he just upped and left leaving Dean with no answers on why and I knew Dean's biggest fear above flying was abandonment, he was afraid of being alone.

Finally he pulled away trying to wipe his tears away to put up his tuff façade so I reached up and wiped the tears for him and tried my best to be the rock he now needed me to be so I threw him a smile as I cupped the back of his head playing with his hair like I knew he loved and it worked since his shoulders relaxed just a tiny bit.

"Do you think he'll come?" I asked him.

"I don't know" he shrugged as his eyes clouded with sadness. "So what do we do now?" he asked and I was a tad shocked he asked my opinion.

"We work the job" I whispered stroking my hand across his cheek.

"Don't do anything stupid, be smart with heads clear, work the job, watch each other's backs and above all be safe" Dean recited saying the exact same thing John would tell us every time we would work a case alone, I nodded my head with a smile and his tipped up into a half-smile. "I can't do this without you"

"You'll never have to Dean because I'm not going anywhere, you're stuck with me" I promised and he nodded pressing a kiss to my forehead before he turned back to the Impala.

"Okay let's go" I nodded and we walked back over to where Sam was waiting by the Impala and got in deciding to talk to a few people who were around at the time of the fire and found out John's old partner at the garage he used to co-own was still around so we headed there first.

"So you and John Winchester, you used to own this garage together?" Dean asked the guy as we stood in the middle of the garage pretending to be police officers looking into the 'Winchester disappearance'.

"Yeah we used to, a long time ago" the owner replied. "Matter of fact it must be 20 years since John disappeared, so why are the cops interested all of a sudden?"

"Oh were reopening some of our unsolved cases and the Winchester disappearance is one of them" Dean added and I nodded my head being the quiet intern I was being forced to play now that there was three of us since out of us I looked the youngest being the smallest which in a way is a compliment since I'm twenty four.

"Uh-huh, well what do you wanna know about John?" he asked us.

"Whatever you remember, you know whatever sticks out in your mind" Dean replied again and I was a bit surprised he was able to take the lead but Dean always has been good a compartmentalizing his emotions when we're working a case and I envied him for that.

"He was a stubborn bastard, I remember that and whatever the game he hated to lose you know it was the whole marine thing but uh…he sure loved Mary and he doted on those kids"

"But that was before the fire?" Sam asked speaking up for the first time.

"That's right" the guy nodded.

"He ever talk about that night?"

"No not a first, I think he was in shock"

"Right but eventually?" Sam asked again and Dean looked over at him. "What did he say about it?"

"Oh he wasn't thinking straight, he said…uh…he said something caused that fire and killed Mary"

"He ever say what did it?" I asked speaking up without fully intending too.

"Nothing did it, it was an accident" he argued looking at me like I was an idiot. "An electrical short in the ceiling or walls or something, I begged him to get help but-"

"But what?" Dean snapped and I tensed.

"Oh he just got worse and worse"

"How?" Dean asked him again.

"Oh he started reading these strange old books, he started going to see a palm reader in town"

"Palm reader, do you have a name?" Dean asked him.

"No" the guy said shaking his head with a scoff, we knew that was all we were gonna get out of the guy so we left and found the closet payphone and Sam started flickering through the phonebook while Dean and I leaned against the Impala.

"So there are a few psychics and palm readers in town" I looked up at Sam. "There's someone named El Divino, there's the mysterious Mr Fortensky" I laughed shaking my head at Sam's face. "Missouri Mosley, some dude named-"

"Wait, wait" Dean suddenly said cutting Sam off. "Missouri Mosley?"

"What?" Sam asked him confused.

"That's a psychic?" Dean asked him.

"Uh yeah, yeah I guess so" Sam shrugged not seeing the relevance so Dean walked to the back seat of the Impala and reached inside grabbing John's journal.

"Dad's journal, come here look at this" he flipped it open to the first page. "First page, first sentence read that" he handed me the journal and I frowned but looked down and read the first sentence out loud.

"'I went to Missouri and I learned the truth'" I looked up a tad surprised.

"I always thought he meant the state" Dean smiled slightly unsettling me but I nodded and we headed to Missouri Mosley's house and waited in the small reception area that was set up since she was currently with someone.

Dean and Sam were sitting on the lounge while I sat in the small arm chair watching Dean anxiously flip through a magazine before throwing it down on the coffee table and started bouncing his knee so I reached out and stilled it and he looked up smiling a little.

"Alright then don't you worry about a thing, your wife is crazy about you" we looked up seeing a woman walking a man towards the door. "Woo poor bastard, his woman is cold banging the gardener" she said once he was gone and I looked up frowning.

"Why didn't you tell him?" I asked raising an eye towards her since that's kind of horrible to give someone fake reassurances like that.

"People don't come here for the truth, they come here for good news" she replied then turned towards us. "Well Sam, Dean, Evie come on already, I ain't got all day" my eyes widened since we hadn't even said who we were but she'd said them so casually like she'd known us for years, we all shared a look before following her back behind the beaded curtain. "Well let me look at you" she looked over smiling at Sam and Dean. "You boys grew up handsome and you were one goofy-looking kid too" she laughed pointing a finger at Dean making me laugh.

"Sorry" I apologized when Dean glared at me but then it softened and he rolled his eyes as I watched Missouri smile at our interaction.

"Oh he sure does love you sweetie" she said smiling at me and I watched Dean's eyes widen turning back to her with surprise but she had already turned looking at Sam. "Sam" she smiled taking his hand but then her face fell. "Oh honey, I'm sorry about your girlfriend and your father" my eyes widened again. "He's missing?"

"How did you know all that?" Sam asked voicing the question that was going through all our heads.

"Well…you were just thinking it, just now" what the hell…she can read minds.

"Where is he, is he okay?" Dean asked her.

"I don't know" she replied shaking her head at him.

"Don't know, you're supposed to be psychic right?" Dean asked so I took his head hoping to calm him down.

"Boy, you see me sawing some bony tramp in half, you think I'm a magician?" I smiled at Dean's expression. "I may read thoughts and sense energies in a room but I can't just pull facts out of thin air, sit please" I saw Sam fighting back a laugh too as we took a seat on the lounge with me in the middle. "Boy, you put your foot on my coffee table I'm gonna whack you with a spoon" I turned to Dean raising my eye with a smirk.

"I didn't do anything" he argued defensively.

"Well you were thinking about it" Missouri argued with him making me smile even wider as Dean looked like a small child who just got in trouble.

"Okay so our Dad, when did you first meet him?" Sam asked getting down to business.

"He came for a reading, a few days after the fire" she replied and both boys were leaning forwards as I sat back bouncing my leg anxiously. "I just told him what was really out there in the dark" my leg stilled as I turned to her. "I guess you could say, I drew back the curtains for him"

"What about the fire?" Dean asked almost excitedly for some new information. "Do…do you know what killed our Mom?"

"A little" she admitted and I sat forward matching the boys stance now since this is exactly what we needed and might even help us track down John. "Your Daddy took me to your house, he was hoping I could sense the echoes, the fingerprints of this thing"

"And could you?" Sam asked.

"I don't…" she trailed off shaking her head.

"What was it?" Sam asked again.

"I don't know" she replied and my brief hope deflated. "Oh but it was evil" I frowned since that wasn't comforting at all and frankly scared me a little since every day we faced evil but the way she made it sound this was worse than anything we'd ever faced which I guess should've been obvious considering John has been hunting it for 22 years. "So you think somethings back in that house?" she asked us.

"Definitely" Sam replied without a shred of hesitation.

"I…I don't understand" Missouri said more to herself making me frown.

"What?" I asked speaking up for the first time.

"I haven't been back inside but I have been keeping an eye on the place and it's been quiet, no sudden deaths, no freak accidents, why is it acting up now?"

"I don't know" Sam replied as I shared a quiet look with Dean before we looked over at Sam. "But Dad going missing and Jessica dying and now this house all happening at once, it feels like something starting"

"That's a comforting thought" Dean added so I squeezed his knee then looked up at Missouri.

"So what do we do?" I asked.

"First things first I need to have a look inside for myself" I looked over at Dean since it was always his call.

"Let's go" Sam spoke up before Dean could say anything and he stood up leading Missouri out as she followed him.

"You gonna be okay to go back inside?" I asked Dean as he sighed getting up and followed them.

"I'll get back to you on that" he muttered so I took his hand entwining our fingers as we went outside to the Impala where Sam and Missouri were waiting.

We knocked on the door when we got back to the house and I was a little nervous since I didn't know how we were gonna explain Missouri to Jenny and it only got worse when Jenny answered the door with Richie in her arms and she looked flustered.

"Sam, Dean, Evie what are you doing here?"

"Hey Jenny, um this is our friend Missouri" Sam replied talking softly.

"If it's not too much trouble we were hoping to show her the old house, you know for old times' sake" Dean added.

"You know what, this isn't a good time, I'm kinda busy" Jenny replied going to close the door.

"Listen Jenny it's import…ow" Dean cut off when Missouri smacked the back of his head.

"Give the poor girl a break, can't you see she's upset" Missouri spoke up moving to stand in front of us so she could talk to Jenny. "Forgive this boy he means well but he's just not the sharpest tool in the shed" Dean raised his eyes in question at her. "But hear me out"

"About what?" she asked sounding beyond flustered and scared by something.

"About this house" Missouri replied nodding inside.

"What are you talking about?"

"I think you know what I'm talking about, you think there's something in this house, something that wants to hurt your family, am I mistaken?"

"Who are you?" Jenny asked looking around at all of us.

"We're people who can help, who can stop this thing but you're gonna have to trust us just a little"

I watched Jenny look around at all of us again taking in our serious expressions before she finally stepped aside to let us in and I tried my best to smile as we passed and followed Missouri upstairs into one of the bedrooms and I felt Dean's hand tense around mine.

"If there is a dark energy around here, this room should be the center of it" Missouri said looking around.

"Why?" Sam asked her.

"This used to be your nursery Sam, this is where it all happened" she replied and I felt Dean tense beside me even more so I turned placing a calming hand against his chest over his heart reminding him that I was here, Dean smiled nodding down at me before grabbing the EMF from his pocket and switched it on. "That an EMF?"

"Yeah" Dean replied without looking up from the device.

"Amateur" I looked up with a small smile at Missouri as Dean looked up annoyed since she was non-stop making fun of him since we met, I continued to watch Missouri as she moved through the room waving her hand over objects but then looked down when the EMF in Dean's hand started whirring with a reading. "I don't know if you boys should be disappointed or relieved but this ain't the thing that took your Mom"

"Are you sure, how do you know?" I asked before the boys could.

"It isn't the same energy I felt the last time I was here, it's something different" Missouri replied, I frowned since I don't know whether that was a good thing or not.

"What is it?" Dean asked as she went over to the closet throwing the doors open.

"Not it, them" she replied walking inside. "There's more than one spirit this place" that couldn't be good.

"What are they doing here?"

"They're here because of what happened to your family" she replied walking towards us and Dean's arm tensed around me. "You see, all those years ago real evil came to you, it walked this house that kind of evil leaves wounds and sometimes wounds get infected"

"I don't understand" Sam shook his head.

"This place is like a magnet for paranormal energy, it's attracted a poltergeist, a nasty one and it won't rest until Jenny and her babies are dead" I tensed at the word poltergeist since my last dealings with one wasn't all that great and with the way Dean's arm pulled me closer he must have remembered it as well.

"You said there was more than one spirit" Sam pointed out.

"There is" Missouri replied looking around the room again before heading back into the closet. "I just can't make out the second one" I looked up sharing a look with Dean.

"Well one things for damn sure, nobody's dying in this house ever again" Dean spoke up squeezing my hand. "So whatever is here, how do we stop it?"

"I might just have an idea" was her reply before we left going back to her place and got to work making some kind of charm bag things that she thought would help get rid of the poltergeist.

I stared at the table in front of us at the many different jars filled with stuff Missouri had instructed us to fill pouches with which was supposedly meant to get the poltergeist to leave the house and Jenny alone.

"So what is all this stuff, anyway?" Dean asked after having made a few already as Sam and I stood nearby watching and letting him do all the work.

"Angelica Root, Van Van oil, crossroad dirt, a few other odds and ends" Missouri replied placing another jar on the table.

"Yeah, what are we supposed to do with it?" Dean asked again seemingly in a mood so I started massaging his shoulders to calm him down.

"We gotta put them inside the walls…Evelyn stop massaging that boys shoulders" I looked up shocked and annoyed to be on her firing line since she couldn't tell me what to do or how to comfort Dean but stopped anyway and Sam smirked so I glared at him. "We put them in the north, south, east, west corners on each floor of the house"

"We're gonna be punching holes in the drywall, Jenny's gonna love that" I muttered sitting down in the seat beside Dean to finally help.

"She'll live" Missouri replied with a smile.

"And this will destroy the spirits?" Sam asked her.

"It should" she nodded. "It should purify the house completely, we'll each take a floor" I turned to Dean and saw him lick one of the herbs then recoil so I rolled my eyes. "But we work fast, once the spirits realize what were up to things are gonna get bad" I frowned sharing a look with Dean and he shrugged.

We finished up with the charms before going back to the house and we waited outside while Missouri went in to coax Jenny and the kids out for tonight since we had a feeling bad things were gonna happen and it would make our jobs easier if we weren't worrying about them.

"Look I'm not sure I'm comfortable leaving you guys here alone" Jenny argued as they came down the steps with Richie on her hip.

"Just take your kids to the movie or something and it will all be over by the time you get back" Missouri encouraged and Jenny finally left.

We then quickly got to work splitting up, Sam took upstairs, Dean and I downstairs which he didn't protest to considering one of us should have been with Missouri but I wasn't leaving him alone this entire hunt which left Missouri in the basement alone but I had a feeling she could handle herself.

We moved quickly punching holes in the walls depositing the charm inside the east, west and south leaving the north last which was the kitchen, I moved stuff out of the way for Dean before he grabbed the axe and started making a hole in the wall but I turned my head just in time to see a hovering kitchen knife aimed right at Dean.

"Dean!" I grabbed Dean pulling him down just in time as it lodged into a cabinet right where Dean had been standing, we looked up seeing more aimed for us so Dean reacted quickly flipping the kitchen table on its side and pulled me behind it as more knives flew at us landing against the table with a sickening thud with some of the blades poking through, some too close for comfort.

"Damn poltergeists, I hate them" I mumbled quickly throwing the charm bag into the hole Dean had made before we went upstairs to check on Sam, we ran into Jenny's bedroom seeing Sam on the ground with a cord wrapped around his neck.

"Sam!" Dean and I yelled running towards him seeing his eyes almost rolling into the back of his head and Dean immediately grabbed for the cord trying to get it loose but I moved grabbing the charm bag and kicked a hole in the wall before throwing the bag inside and there was a bright blinding white light that went through the house before I rushed over to Sam's side.

"Sammy?" I fell to my knees beside him.

"Come here" Dean lifted him up and we quickly got the cord untangled from Sam's neck before pulling him into an awkward three-way hug as I felt a few tears slip out as I stared at Dean in shock since I couldn't believe we were that close to losing him just then.

"Missouri?" I asked then quickly got up going downstairs but sighed in relief seeing her coming up from the basement unarmed as the boys followed me down with Sam leaning on Dean a little before we all went in the kitchen inspecting the mess.

"You sure this is over?" Sam asked her as Dean threw a knife back into a draw.

"I'm sure" Missouri replied so I allowed myself to relax just a fraction. "Why, why do you ask?"

"Uh never mind" Sam sighed making me frown. "It's nothing I guess"

"Hello?" we heard Jenny call out as lights flipped on. "We're home" I smiled sheepishly as she looked at the mess. "What happened?"

"Hi, sorry…um we'll pay for all of this" Dean gave him a look.

"Don't you worry, Dean's gonna clean up this mess" Dean looked at her but didn't move and she turned. "Well what are you waiting for boy, get the mop" he shook his head annoyed by having been told to clean up a mess we didn't intentionally make. "And don't cuss at me" he turned back once again shocked for being called out for something he didn't say aloud before he walked off grumbling to himself so I took pity and went with to help him clean.

It wasn't long that we had the kitchen cleaned up although Jenny was gonna need a new kitchen table but that would be the least of her worries and also cleaned up any other messes that were made before we walked towards the front door leaving with Dean helping Missouri down the steps making me smile before we had a quick look back nodding at Jenny as she closed the door before getting in the Impala and left taking Missouri home but Sam had Dean return to the house before we could leave Kanas.

"Alright so tell me again, what are we still doing here?" Dean asked Sam turning to him but Sam's eyes stayed glued to the house.

"I don't know, I just…I still have a bad feeling"

"Why?" I asked hoping for a better explanation.

"Missouri did her Zelda Rubinstein thing, the house should be clean this should be over" Dean added frustratedly.

"Yeah well probably but I just wanna make sure, that's all" Sam replied chancing at quick glance at us.

"Yeah well problem is I could be sleeping in a bed right now" Dean argued sliding down in his seat crossing his arms and closed his eyes but I looked up at Sam who became alert staring at the house so I looked and saw Jenny at her window looking frantic.

"Dean, Evie!" Sam yelled alerting Dean and we all jumped out of the Impala in a heartbeat running towards the house.

"You get the kids, I'll get Jenny" Dean ordered us as they kicked in the doors and we ran up the stairs.

"You grab the baby Sam, I'll get Sari" I added and we went our own ways, I ran in throwing Sari's door open hearing her scream and came face to face with a fiery ghostly figure. "Come here, come here, don't look okay" she nodded and I quickly picked her up rushing out of the room meeting Sam at the top of the stairs getting down fast but Sam suddenly stopped with a look.

"Sam?" I put down Sari but kept her close since his look confused me.

"Alright Sari, take your brother outside as fast as you can and don't look back" my eyes widened since hose we're the exact words John had said to Dean but before I could process that Sam was suddenly swept off his feet and pulled back into the house.

"Sari go!" I yelled just as I felt my legs fall out from underneath me and I too was pulled back sliding down the hall into the kitchen right into Sam. "Dean!" I screamed hopping it would alert him.

"Evie, you okay?" I heard Sam grumble.

"Yeah, I'm okay" I mumbled but it was short lived as a ghostly force started throwing us around the room slamming us into the walls and cabinet's smashing glass which imbedded in my skin stinging like a bitch.

"Sam, Eve!" I heard Dean yell but was unable to reply as the same fiery figure appeared from upstairs and was walking right for us. "Evie, Sam?" it was getting closer and I could feel the heat but I was stuck against the wall unable to move. "Sam, Eve" I could still hear Dean call out before he appeared raising his shotgun ready to fire.

"No don't, don't!" Sam yelled stopping him.

"What, why?" Dean asked barely turning in his direction.

"Because I know who it is, I can see her now" Sam replied confusing me since all I could see was fire but then it blew away and standing in front of us was Mary Winchester and Dean slowly lowered the gun staring at her in shock.

"Mom?" he asked and she smiled stepping towards him but I grunted fighting against the ghostly power since we had no idea if this was real or not.

"Dean" she replied then walked past him towards Sam who was still held up against the wall too, my eyes stayed glued to Dean watching him watch her with teary eyes clearly in shock. "Sam" she smiled at her baby, now a grown man as Sam stared down at her smiling weakly gasping as tears fell from his eyes since he's never seen her aside from pictures much like me with my mother. "I'm sorry" I frowned confused by that.

"For what?" Sam asked equally confused but she didn't elaborate like I knew she wouldn't cause it couldn't have really been her, she turned walking away from them and looked towards the ceiling.

"You get out of my house and let my son and their friend go" she ordered the other entity in the house before fire engulfed her again extending up into the ceiling before she was gone and the power holding Sam and I against the wall was gone and I fell but Dean was right there catching me in his arms before returning his gaze to the ceiling looking around desperately for their mother.

"Now it's over" Sam spoke up after Dean looked at him.

The next morning I stood next to Dean as he flicked through a stack of photo's Jenny had given him, the rest in a box on the back seat of the Impala, he was smiling at a few before looking up at Jenny who was standing in front of him.

"Thanks for these" he spoke up.

"Don't thank me, they're yours" she replied before walking away and he nodded putting the stack back and closed the lid.

"Thank you" I looked up at Dean confused.

"I didn't do anything" I argued. "In fact I should be thanking you, seems you saved me again and I gotta say I'm sick of being the damsel in destress all the time" he laughed pulling me into his arms.

"I'll always save you Evie but that wasn't why I was thanking you, not many girls stick around this stuff and I honestly don't know how I would've gotten through this hunt without you" I looked up since this was more emotion I'd received from Dean in a while.

"You never need to thank me, I love you Dean and that means scars and all, nothing will never change that no matter what" he smiled pulling my body flush up against his laying his head atop of mine.

"I…I love you to shortstack" I smiled adding it the list as I hugged Dean back. "Now let's get the hell out of Kansas" I nodded my agreement letting go. "Sam, you ready?" he called looking up at Sam who was sitting on the porch with Missouri, he nodded standing up and walked towards the Impala.

"Don't y'all be strangers" Missouri called making me smile and nod.

"We won't" Dean replied with a curt nod before squeezing my hand one last time and unlocked the Impala.

"See you around" Missouri added and Jenny waved at us before we got in and Dean drove off.
