Jamie's truck pulls up to the cabin. Dean and Sam are standing outside the door waiting for her. She gets out of the truck and stares at them. "You shouldn't have called me."
Dean looks up, confused. "Why not?"
Jamie sighs. "I should have told you earlier. You want to know why I can see Cas' true form? Why I can do all the things I can do?"
Sam raises his eyebrows in surprise. "You can see Cas' true form?"
Jamie glances at him and then at Dean. "It's why I've been trying to stay away. I'm a prophet, guys. I see, I hear, and I speak of the Truth. I'm uh…the quintessential angel's bitch." She smirks and then looks up.
"Anna hears them, you tell me. Well, they talk to me."
Dean's jaw drops and then he looks pissed. "They talk to you?"
Jamie nods. "That's why I get headaches around the stuff we hunt. It's a supernatural low jack." She looks at Sam. "That's why I'm the one who got away. From Azazel, from Lilith, from everything we've ever hunted."
"So you're indestructible?" Sam asks, walking over to her.
"No, I'm guarded. I'm watched. Protected, for the most part."
Dean looks at her, pointing up at the sky. "So do they know where you are, right now?"
Jamie shakes her head. "No. Anna banishing them means they've lost sight of me too. But they'll try like hell to find out." She sighs. "Do you want me to leave?"
Sam shakes his head. "No."
Dean nods. "No. I need you here, Jamie." He walks over to her. "Back to Anna, though. What do you think?"
Jamie smirks. "I think we're all screwed."
Sam smirks. "Probably but I think Anna's getting more interesting by the second."
They go inside. Dean glances back at Sam. "Yeah, I agree. And what did they mean by "she's not innocent"?"
Jamie looks between her brothers. "I'm not sure I want to know."
"It seems like they want her bad, and not just 'cause of the angel radio thing. I mean, that blood spell - Some serious crap, man." Sam looks at Jamie.
She stops and then looks up at Sam. "Blood spell?"
"Something's going on with her."
Jamie looks at Dean and then back to Sam. "See what you can find out, Sam."
Sam nods. "What are you gonna do?" He looks at Dean.
"Anna may have sent the angels to the outfield, but, sooner or later, they're gonna be back. We got to get ourselves safe now."
Anna is sitting in a chair in Bobby's panic room. Dean and Jamie are there.
Jamie smirks. "Pretty impressive, huh?"
Dean points to the wall. "Iron walls drenched in salt. Demons can't even touch the joint."
Ruby is waiting outside the open door. "Which I find racist, by the way."
Jamie shrugs. "Sorry."
"Write your congressman." Dean says, offhandedly.
Ruby rolls her eyes and tosses something to Dean. "Here."
"Hex bags?"
"Extra-crunchy. They'll hide us from angels, demons, all comers."
Jamie looks up. "Even me?"
Ruby nods. "Even you."
"Thanks, Ruby." He turns to Anna. "Don't lose this." He gives her the hex bag. "So, Anna, what's playing on angel radio? Anything useful?"
"It's quiet. Dead silence."
Dean looks at his sister. "Jamie?"
"Silence over here too."
"Good. That's not troubling at all."
Anna looks up. "We're in trouble, huh? You guys are scared?"
Dean shakes his head. "Nah."
"Hey, Dean! Jamie!" Sam calls from upstairs.
Jamie starts for the door. "We're coming, Sam!"
"Just stay here, okay?" Dean tells Anna and then looks at RUBY. "Keep an eye on her."
"How's the car?" Dean asks as he and Jamie enter the dining room.
"I got her. She's fine. Where's Bobby?"
"Uh, The Dominican. He said we break anything, we buy it."
Jamie scoffs. "I aint paying him a penny."
"He's working a job?"
"God, I hope so. Otherwise, he's at hedonism in a banana hammock and a trucker cap."
Jamie closes her eyes and shakes her head. "God, Dean."
Sam nods. "Now that's seared in my brain."
"All right, what did you find on Anna?"
"Uh, not much. Her parents were, uh, Rich and Amy Milton - a church deacon and a housewife."
"Riveting."
"Yeah. But there is something here in the report. Turns out this latest psych episode wasn't her first."
"No?"
"When she was 2 1/2, she'd get hysterical any time her dad got close. She was convinced that he wasn't her real daddy."
"What?"
"Who was? The plumber, hmm? A little snaking the pipes?"
Jamie and Sam both stare at Dean for a second before Sam starts talking again. "Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again. Look, Anna didn't say. She just kept repeating that this real father of hers was mad. Very mad - like wanted-to-kill-her mad."
Dean raises an eyebrow. "Kind of heavy for a 2-year-old."
"Well, she saw a kid's shrink, got better, and grew up normal."
"Until now. So, what's she hiding?"
Jamie looks up. "I think we're about to find out."
"Why don't you just ask me to my face?" The siblings turn around to find Anna and Ruby standing there.
Dean glares at Ruby. "Nice job watching her."
"I'm watching her."
Sam tries to soften the tension. "No, you're right, Anna. Is there anything you want to tell us?"
"About what?"
"The angels said you were guilty of something. Why would they say that?"
"You tell me. Tell me why my life has been leveled... Why my parents are dead. I don't know. I swear. I would give anything to know."
"Okay. Then let's find out."
"How?"
Sam turns to his sister. "Jamie, can you?"
Jamie shakes her head. "No. That's still beyond my abilities. But we know someone who can."
Awhile later Dean is leading Pamela down the stairs.
Jamie looks up. "They're back."
"We're here!"
Sam walks over to them. "Pamela, hey!"
"Sam?"
"It's me. it's Sam"
"SAM?" She feels around for him.
"Yeah."
"Sam, is that you?"
"I'm right here."
"Oh. Know how I can tell?" She grabs Sam's ass. "That perky little ass of yours. You could bounce a nickel off that thing. Of course I know it's you, grumpy. Same way I know that's a demon, and that poor girl's Anna, and that Jamie is a prophet, which is very impressive abate scary, and that you've been eyeing my rack."
Jamie looks impressed. "No kidding."
Sam is dumbfounded. "Uh... uh... uh..."
"Don't sweat it, kiddo. I still got more senses than most."
"Got it."
Pamela goes over to Anna.
"Hey, Anna. How are you? I'm Pamela."
"Hi."
"Dean told me what's been going on. I'm excited to help."
"Oh. That's nice of you."
"Oh, well, not really. Any chance I can dick over an angel, I'm taking it."
"Why?"
"They stole something from me." She takes off her sunglasses, revealing white eyes. "Demon-y, I know. But they're just plastic. Good for business. Makes me look extra-psychic, don't you think?" She laughs. "Now...how about you tell me what your deal is? Hmm? Don't you worry."
Anna is laying on a bed in the panic room. Pamela is sitting beside her. Dean and Jamie aren't far away. "Nice and relaxed. Now, I'm going to count down from five to zero. When we're at zero, you'll be in a deep state of hypnosis. As I count down, just go deeper and deeper, okay? 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Deep sleep. Deep sleep. Every muscle calm and relaxed. Can you hear me?"
"I can hear you."
"Now, Anna, tell me... How can you hear the angels? How did you work that spell?"
"I don't know. I just did."
"Your father... What's his name?"
"Rich Milton."
"All right. But I want you to look further back... When you were very young... Just a couple of years old."
"I don't want to."
Dean looks at Jamie. Jamie sighs, she squeezes her eyes shut. Pamela tries to keep Anna calm.
"It'll be okay. Anna, just one look - that's all we need."
"No."
"What's your dad's name? Your real dad. Why is he angry at you?"
"No. No! No." Anna screams. "No!"
"Calm down."
"He's gonna kill me!"
"Anna, you're safe."
"No!" The lights explode and glass shatters. The door slams and locks.
"Calm down."
"He's gonna kill me!"
"It's all right, Anna."
"Anna?" Dean walks towards Anna. Jamie opens her eyes and stands up.
"Dean, don't."
Anna throws Dean across the room. Jamie raises her hands and stops him before falls into the chair. She and Sam grab ahold of him to keep him upright. Pamela sighs.
"Wake in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Anna... Anna? You all right?"
"Thank you, Pamela. That helps a lot. I remember now."
"Remember what?" Sam asks.
"Who I am."
"Oh my god." Jamie takes a step back.
Dean looks at Jamie and then at Anna. "I'll bite. Who are you?"
"I'm an angel."
Everyone is gathered in the library. Jamie is standing with Pamela and Ruby, while Dean and Sam stand on the other side with Anna in the middle. "Don't be afraid, I'm not like the others."
Ruby crosses her arms. "I don't find that very reassuring."
Pamela nods. "Neither do I."
Jamie sighs. "Well then listen to me. Castiel's presence makes me sink to my knees and speak Latin. I'm standing, and speaking plain English. She is definitely not like the others."
Dean nods. "Point taken."
"So...Castiel, Uriel - they're the ones that came for me?"
Sam nods. "You know them?"
"We were kind of in the same foxhole."
"So, what, were they like your bosses or something?" Dean asks.
Jamie smirks, going over to Anna. "Not quite."
"Try the other way around."
Dean grins. "Look at you."
Pamela looks at Anna. "But now they want to kill you?"
"Orders are orders. I'm sure I have a death sentence on my head."
"Why?"
"I disobeyed... which, for us, is about the worst thing you can do. I fell."
Dean looks at her. "Meaning?"
Jamie looks at Dean. "She fell to earth, became human."
Sam looks at Jamie and then to Anna. "Wait a minute. I don't understand. So, angels can just become human?"
Anna looks up. "It kind of hurts. Try cutting your kidney out with a butter knife. That kind of hurt. I ripped out my grace."
"Come again?"
"My grace. It's... energy. Hacked it out and fell. My mother, Amy, couldn't get pregnant. Always called me her little miracle. She had no idea how right she was."
"So, you just forgot that you were God's little Power Ranger?"
"The older I got, the longer I was human, yeah."
Ruby finally speaks up. "I don't think you all appreciate how completely screwed we are."
Anna nods. "Ruby's right. Heaven wants me dead."
"And Hell just wants her. A flesh-and-blood angel that you can question, torture, that bleeds. Sister, you're the Stanley Cup. And sooner or later, Heaven or Hell, they're gonna find you."
"I know."
Jamie moves away. "I need to leave. Now. They're going to be looking for me, and if they find me they find you."
Anna puts her hand on the blonde's shoulder. "No, Jamie. I'm gonna get it back."
"What?"
"My grace."
"You can do that?"
"If I can find it."
"So, what, you're just gonna take some divine bong hit, and, shazam, you're Roma Downey?" Dean smirks.
"Something like that."
Dean crosses his arms. "All right. I like this plan. So, where's this grace of yours?" Jamie snickers and crosses her arms."What's so funny?"
"Lost track. I was falling about 10,000 miles per hour at the time."
Sam's eyes widen. "Wait. You mean falling, like, literally?"
"Yes."
"Like the way a human eye can see? Like a comet, maybe, or a meteor?"
Anna looks at him. "Why do you ask?"
Later that night Sam and Ruby were doing research. Ruby leaves. Sam sighs. Jamie appears in the doorway.
Sam looks up at her. "Hey."
"Hey."
He looks away. "You know, don't you?"
Jamie smirks. "For like…ever. You're my twin, Sam. It didn't take much for me to find out."
"I guess we're all pretty screwed up."
"More then you know."
"So when did you find out about the prophet thing?"
Jamie looks away. "When Dean came back from hell."
Sam turns to her. "That why you ran out on us again, Jamie?"
Jamie stares at him. "Part of it." She tells him evenly.
"And you're gonna run again?"
"I'm always running Sam. I didn't want this, I didn't ask for it, but it's who I am. And for that I cannot stay here with you two for very long. They will use me against you two if they get the chance. I will not be used to hurt my brothers."
Jamie and Sam spread the research out for Dean and Anna to see. "Union, Kentucky. Found some accounts of a local miracle." Jamie points to a spot on the map.
"Yeah?" Dean asks.
"Yeah. In '85, there was an empty field outside of town. Six months later, there was a full-grown oak."
Sam nods. "They say it looks a century old at least."
"Anna, what do you think?" Dean turns to her.
"The grace. Where it hit, it could have done something like that, easy."
"So grace ground zero - it's not destruction. It's..."
Jamie and Anna look up. "Pure creation." They say together.
Dean is driving. Sam is beside him and Jamie, Anna and Ruby are in the backseat. Dean looks in the rear-view mirror and laughs.
"What?" Ruby asks.
"Nothing. It's just an angel, a prophet, and a demon riding in the backseat. It's like the setup to a bad joke... or a Penthouse Forum letter."
Jamie and Sam both look up. Jamie narrows her eyes. "Dean. Sister. Bad."
Sam nods. "Dude... Reality... Porn."
"You call this reality?"
The Winchesters, Ruby, and Anna walk into the field where a beautiful large oak is growing.
"Wow." Jamie stares up at it.
"It's beautiful." Dean says.
Anna nods. "It's where the grace touched down. I can feel it."
Jamie pauses. "So can I. Kind of."
Dean looks back at Anna. "You ready to do this?"
"Not really."
"Anna, what are we even looking for?" Sam asks.
Anna puts a hand on the tree trunk.
Jamie puts her hands on her heart. "Oh no."
Anna turns to them. "It doesn't matter. It's not here. Not anymore. Someone took it."
They're all held up in a barn near the Oak field. Dean is trying to calm the tension.
"We still got the hex bags. I say we head back to the panic room."
Ruby looks up. "What, forever?"
"I'm just thinking out loud!" Dean snaps.
"Oh, you call that thinking?" Ruby shoots back.
Sam gets between them. "Hey! Hey, hey, hey. Stop it."
Ruby looks at the brothers. "Anna's grace is gone. You understand? She can't angel up. She can't protect us. We can't fight Heaven and Hell. One side maybe, but not both. Not at once."
Jamie puts her black utility jacket on and grabs her bag. "I need to leave. I need to leave now. They're looking for me. I can feel it." She's physically shaking. Dean stares Ruby down as he walks over and grabs her by the shoulders.
Anna looks up. "Um... guys? The angels are talking again."
Sam looks over at her. Dean and Jamie look up. "What are they saying?"
"It's weird... Like a recording... a loop. It says "Dean Winchester gives us Anna by midnight, or..."
Dean looks at her. "Or what?"
Jamie looks at Dean. "...or we hurl him back to damnation." Jamie starts shaking harder. Dean puts his hands on her shoulders, trying to steady her.
"Okay. Jamie, go, get out of here." He tells her, turning her to the door.
Sam goes over to them. "No, wait. Anna.. Do you know of any weapon that works on an angel?"
"To what? To kill them? Nothing we could get to... Not right now."
Dean shakes his head. "Okay, wait, wait. I say we call Bobby. We get him back from hedonism."
Jamie shakes her head. "Bobby can't help us."
Sam agrees with his twin. "Dean, what's he gonna tell us that we don't already know?"
"I don't know, but we got to think of something!"
It's much later. Dean and Anna have left the barn. Jamie gets up and leaves the barn. Ruby watches her. Sam is asleep over an open book as Ruby leaves.
Jamie sits on the Impala. Castiel is standing before her. "Cas, take me out of here right now."
"I can't."
Jamie looks up at him sharply. "I will not do this. You cannot ask me to do this."
"You're right. I can't."
"What?"
Castiel sighs. "You're a prophet, Jamie. You're supposed to stand by passively while all of this unfolds. You don't interfere, we won't make you interfere."
Jamie scoffs. "Oh I see, I don't have to hand her over myself, but you'll make Dean do it."
"I am sorry."
"Cas…"
Castiel grabs unto her. "I'm sorry."
Back in the Barn Dean, Sam, and Anna are gathered there.
"Where's Jamie?" Dean asks.
"I don't know, man. Where's Ruby?" Sam asks.
"Hey, she's your Hell buddy." Dean is drinking from his flask.
"Little early for that, isn't it?" Anna asks.
"It's 2 a.m. somewhere."
"You okay?"
"Yeah, of course."
The doors open with a blast and Castiel and Uriel enter. Castiel is holding Jamie's hand. "Hello, Anna. It's good to see you."
Sam stares at his twin. "Jamie, how could you?" She turns away.
Castiel looks over at him. "She didn't. She is completely innocent in all of this."
"If not her then how? How did you find us?" He pauses. "Dean?"
Dean sighs and looks at Anna. "I'm sorry."
"Why?" Sam asks.
"Because they gave him a choice. They either kill me... or kill you and take Jamie away. I know how their minds work." Anna kisses Dean goodbye. "You did the best you could. I forgive you. Okay. No more tricks. No more running. I'm ready."
"I'm sorry." Castiel tells her.
"No. You're not. Not really. You don't know the feeling."
"Still, we have a history. It's just –"
"Orders are orders. I know. Just make it quick."
Jamie grabs her head. "Dean! Sam!"
Castiel turns to her. "Prophetess?"
Alastair, a bleeding Ruby and another demon appear. "Don't you touch a hair on that poor girl's head."
Uriel steps forward. "How dare you come in this room... you pussing sore!"
Alastair smirks. "Name-calling. That hurt my feelings... You sanctimonious, fanatical prick."
Castiel moves Jamie behind him. "Turn around and walk away now."
"Sure. Just give us the girl. We'll make sure she gets punished good and proper."
"You know who we are and what we will do. I won't say it again. Leave now... or we lay you to waste."
"Think I'll take my chances." Angels and demons begin to fight. Dean and Sam are pushed back to the sidelines. Castiel shoves Jamie toward her brothers and tries to exorcise Alastair with his hand with no result. "Sorry, kiddo. Why don't you go run to daddy?"
Uriel exorcises a demon who screams.
Alastair begins to exorcise Castiel. "Potestas inferna, me confirma. Potestas inferna, me confirma. Potestas inferma, me confirma!"
"CAS! No! Dean, do something, please. He's gonna send Castiel back to heaven." Jamie tells him.
Dean hits Alastair with a crowbar.
"Dean, Dean, Dean... I am so disappointed. You had such promise." He goes to attack Dean, Sam, and Jamie. Jamie steps in front of her brothers, holding her hands out in front of her.
"If you touch me, the wrath of Michael will descend upon you."
Alastair smirks. "My dear, I don't want you."
Jamie is thrown to the side. Alastair attacks Dean and Sam. Anna takes her grace from Uriel while he is killing the other demon. "No!"
Anna breaks the pendant releasing the grace. White light flows into her mouth. "Shut your eyes. Shut your eyes! Shut your eyes!"
Jamie throws herself between her brothers and puts her hands over their eyes. Bright light comes out from Anna's body and makes Alastair disappear, leaving behind Ruby's knife. Anna disappears. Jamie falls to her knees. "Ave dominus angelum." She mutters.
Dean looks at Castiel and Uriel. "Well, what are you guys waiting for? Go get Anna. Unless, of course, you're scared."
Castiel ignores Dean and goes over to Jamie. She grabs Ruby's knife and tucks it into her jeans as she gets to her feet. "Forgive me for not properly protecting you, prophetess. Are you hurt?"
Jamie shakes her head.
"This isn't over." Uriel says.
"Oh, it looks over to me, junkless." Dean tells him.
Castiel and Uriel disappear. Sam goes over to Ruby. "You okay?"
"Not so much."
"What took you so long to get here?"
"Sorry I'm late with the demon delivery. I was only being tortured."
Dean looks at Sam. "I got to hand it to you, Sammy. Bringing them all together all at once - angels and demons. It was a damn good plan."
Jamie shakes her head. "Scary as hell. I just about had to watch my family die, but brilliant."
"Yeah, well, when you got Godzilla and Mothra on your ass, best to get out of their way and let them fight."
"Yeah, now you're just bragging."
Jamie snickers and puts her arms around her brothers. Sam looks up.
"So, I guess she's some big-time angel now, huh? She must be happy... Wherever she is."
Dean looks up. "I doubt it."
Jamie nods. "Me too."
Sam is sitting on the hood of the Impala with a beer, Jamie is sitting crosslegged in the middle, and Dean is leaning against the side of the car near them."I can't believe we made it out of there."
"Again." Sam and Jamie say at the same time.
Dean holds out his bottle and Sam and Jamie clinks it.
"To family.: Jamie says.
Sam and Dean nod.
"I know you heard him." Dean says after a minute.
"Who?" Sam asks.
"Alastair." Jamie answers.
" What he said... about how I had promise."
"I heard him."
"You're not curious? Either of you?"
Sam sighs. "Dean, I'm damn curious. But you're not talking about Hell, and I'm not pushing."
Jamie nods. "I already know, but I've been waiting for you to tell me."
Dean looks away. "It wasn't four months, you know."
"What?" Sam looks at Jamie. Jamie looks away. Sam turns back to Dean.
"It was four months up here, but down there... I don't know."
"Time's different. In Heaven too." Jamie says.
"It was more like 40 years."
"My God." Sam breaths.
"They, uh... They sliced and carved and tore at me in ways that you... Until there was nothing left. And then, suddenly... I would be whole again... like magic... just so they could start in all over. And Alastair... at the end of every day... every one... he would come over. And he would make me an offer. To take me off the rack... if I put souls on... if I started the torturing. And every day, I told him to stick it where the sun shines. For 30 years, I told him. But then I couldn't do it anymore, guys. I couldn't. Jamie, Sammy, I couldn't. And I got off that rack. God help me, I got right off it, and I started ripping them apart. I lost count of how many souls." a tear rolls down his cheek. "The - the things that I did to them."
"Dean." Jamie gets off the hood stands next to Dean. Dean grabs unto her and holds her tightly.
Sam looks at his brother. "Dean... Dean, look, you held out for 30 years. That's longer than anyone would have."
Dean is crying. "How I feel... This... inside me... I wish I couldn't feel anything, Sammy."
Jamie rocks on her feet, holding unto him. "Shh…I got you. I got you."
"Jamie…I wish I couldn't feel a damn thing." Dean wipes his eyes. Castiel appears.
Sam looks up. "Cas."
"What the hell are you doing here, Cas?" Dean asks, wiping his eyes roughly.
" I came for the prophetess."
"What?"
Jamie pulls back from Dean. "My ride is here." She takes out Ruby's knife and hands it to Dean. He looks at down at it and then looks at her.
"You're going with him? After everything that just happened?"
Castiel looks at them. "She has to. It's the only way she'll be safe. Lilith knows the Voice has awakened."
Jamie wraps her arms around Dean and then Sam and grabs her bag from the Impala.
Sam looks at Castiel. "Where are you taking her?"
"I cannot tell you that. I can only tell you that she will be watched over."
Dean looks up. "She should be with her family."
"Guys." The three of them look over at her. "I'm right here. Listen, I didn't ask for this, I don't want this, but I have to do this. This is my choice. When the seals started breaking, I felt it, and I don't understand it. Castiel can help me to understand. I love you guys." Castiel touches Jamie and they disappear.
