vrskaandrea: Thank you for the review

"I had to put her to sleep she freaked out." Michael says.

"You didn't help." Sam says.

Kaia sat on the chair ignoring the archangel and the hunter's arguing. She looks down at the sleeping blonde. Claire was pretty Kaia can see why her counterpart liked her.

If it wasn't for Michael putting Claire to sleep Kaia was sure she would have been shot.

"Dean I promised." Michael spoke out loud.

"What's he saying?" Sam asks.

"He said he should take over and do the talking. I said no. I want to do this. I already told you I destroyed this girl's life. At least getting her to move on will put me on the redemption path."

"You need to tone it down" Dean spoke.

Michael saw his vessel speaking through the mirror on the wall. Dean looked worried. Claire was hot-headed and Kaia was some sort of ninja. If they clashed, someone would get hurt.

"Tone it down?" Michael frowned.

"Act more human. More like us. "

"Like you. Using foul language, chatting up random women and telling lies."

Dean gave a bitch face for that comment. Michael chuckled. Dean was fun to whine up sometimes.

"Okay." Jody comes in after freshening herself up. She looks at Claire. "Still out cold?"

"Yeah." Sam answers.

Jody glares at Michael.

"She better wake up."

"She will." Michael ensured her.

Jody gives Claire another look over and clears her throat.

"Sam you want anything. Something to eat or drink?"

"I'm good."

"Michael?"

"I don't..."

Jody suddenly face palms.

"You don't need that stuff you are an archangel. My bad."

Michael smiles.

"Its okay."

Jody sighs.

"God its weird. Dean he wouldn't down that offer. He loves food. If there was beer here he would take it. He sure has an appetite on him."

Michael glanced at the mirror. Dean is blushing. Jody was embarrassing him.

"Oh I know." MIchael grinned. He taps his head. "I seen it all."

"Oh poor you."

"He needs to improve on his table manners."

Dean glares. He stops when he sees Sam chuckling under his breath. This was something Sam can agree on.

"What about you?" Jody asks her eyes going on to Kaia.

"Not hungry." Kaia goes back to looking at Claire.

Jody shrugs and sits on the armchair.

"If I wasn't on a duty I would had a drink after a day I had."

Claire lets out a groan. Jody sits up straight while Sam leaned down to check on the young hunter.

Claire slowly sits up feeling dazed and fuzzy. She blinks a few times to regain her vision.

"Claire."

Claire turns to Jody.

"Hey." She yawns "Ah..." She rubs her head. "Jody I think I'm getting obsessed. Its getting to me." Jody frowns. Claire gestures with her hands. "You know Kaia. I dreamt she was the killer crazy right. Oh and Dean his eyes there were glowing and I think he said is name was Michael. I thought cheese giving you nightmares was a load of crap. It's not. Its true. Go on Jody do the I told you so. I told you not to eat that cheese sandwich before going to bed."

"Umm Claire. I wish I can it was a dream but it wasn't."

Claire frowns.

"What?"

"Its real."

Claire looks and her eyes widen. Kaia stands up.

"I'm not here to fight."

Claire was up and ready to shoot. She frowns when she couldn't feel her gun in her pocket.

Jody raises the gun.

"Looking for this." She tucks the gun in her pocket. "Had to take it away. I'm sorry."

"What. What..." Claire stops and takes a deep breath. She remained shaken up. "What is this?"

"Its me Claire." Kaia says. "I killed Kaia."

"How...How do you look like her?"

"I am her. Another version of her. I am Kaia from the other world. My world."

"This is insane."

"It's not. Every world contains the same people. We all have alternative versions of ourselves. Most of us don't know that. Me and Kaia we were different. We were bonded. She was a dream walker like me. We can both walk into dreams and see other worlds. I knew what I was and how to use my abilities but she didn't. She was lost, confused. She couldn't see our connection. She feared it."

Claire was speechless. Her face, her voice it reminded the hunter so much of her Kaia. Difference was this alternative version of Kaia she was a survivor, a warrior, someone who had to grow up first, the innocence and being a child taken away from her.

"I saw what she saw." Kaia continued. "I saw her world, her people. I liked watching it. It looked peaceful, no monsters, no running. It was a world I wanted to be in. Be with her. I hoped for our connection to grow. We were the same. She was part of me like a sister I never had. I saw you." Her face hardens. "Something sparked. I felt it. A bond waiting to be formed. All my hopes crushed in front of me."

"What bond?"

Jody thought about what she said earlier, first love. She knew what bond the dream walker was talking about. Claire looked stumped.

"She liked you. You liked her." Kaia says.

Claire shakes her head.

"What? I barely knew her."

"You did like her. If she was alive it would have turned into more than just liking her."

"Okay I'm sorry but you don't know me. You don't know how I feel."

"Becoming defensive proves that I'm telling the truth."

"You killed her."

"I wasn't meant to kill her. You were my target. She got in the way. She saved you."

Guilt builds up inside Claire. She can still remember the dream walker pushing her out of the way. She sacrificed herself to save Claire.

"You can't deny there was a bond. She saved you."

Claire looks away the guilt now overpowering her. She thought about her feelings when she had that conversation with Kaia on the door step. When they both laughed after Claire admitting to that 'battle ' with the door knob. The other conversation when they were close to entering the rift and Claire knowing she was going to die after finding out about Patience's vision. Kaia knew Claire was scared. Kaia was scared of The Bad Place but she decided to face her fear for Claire.

"If you go, I'll go with you. " Kaia's words echoed in Claire's head.

"I'll protect you." Claire can still hear herself say.

Claire failed. Failed to do one job. Protect Kaia. She knew being a hunter she couldn't save everyone but losing Kaia hit her hard. She should have been the one who died that day. She was the target not Kaia.

She looks at her hand. The hand Kaia held as they ran through The Bad Place. Kaia was strong that day. She was strong for Claire. She wanted to help Claire get her friends back.

Kaia died saving them.

"We both lost someone that day." Kaia says.

"Both." Claire looks angrily at the dream walker. "If it wasn't for you she would be alive."

"I know. I'm sorry. I was...scared. I didn't want to lose her. I feared you would take her away from me. She would have not developed into who she was supposed to be."

"What was she suppose to be?"

"Like me. Strong. Use her abilities to survive. The monsters hurt her in my world. You saw her scars. I feared you were gonna make her weak. Love is a sign of weakness."

"Yet you cared about her."

"My relationship with her. It formed at birth. It was my job to make her strong. No matter how many times she dream walked to my world, she couldn't see what I was trying to do. She ran, screamed and got hurt. Every time. This went on for years. She just wouldn't fight back. She was starting to become opposite to what I wanted her to be. It was affecting her in her world. She was going down instead of up. People thought she was crazy."

"I didn't think she was crazy. I admired her." Claire admits. "She is strong. She went through that rift with me. I didn't force her, she wanted to. She was scared but she wanted to face her fears and help."

"She was strong for you." Kaia says.

"Yeah."

"You are strong." Kaia looks at the ground. "She would have become like you."

"I would have trained her."

"She would have fought those monsters from my world in her dreams." Kaia's eyes widen. "Her abilities."

"I would have helped her. Been there for her." Claire says.

Kaia's face twitches.

"Our bond...could of had a chance. If I came to your world."

"Meeting you would have given our Kaia a better understanding." Jody says.

Kaia looks at Claire. Now she looked like the guilty one.

"I got it wrong. I thought you were going to be her mistake but now thinking back to it, I felt a change in her, she was stronger, determined. The monsters didn't bother her because she knew she had you by her side. You were her saviour. The one who would have pulled her out of this darkness she was experiencing because of my mistake...feelings she died. Its my fault."

The rage lowered in Claire. She was still angry.

"She's dead because of you. I swore to hunt you down. Now you are here. I been waiting for this moment."

"Killing me is not gonna bring her back."

"Its justice."

"You doing it for her or yourself.?" Kaia questioned. The dream walker shakes her head "I know Kaia. She wouldn't want this."

"It's the right thing to do."

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry is not gonna change anything!" Claire yells. "Just because you admitted you made a mistake you think I'm gonna forgive you." She shakes her head. "What you did was unforgivable."

"You are not the only one who is grieving Claire." Kaia yells back.

"YOU RUINED HER LIFE."

Kaia steps back. Her blood was boiling. She was close to losing it. Kaia feared something bad will happen then she will never get home .

She looks at Michael.

"I'm done. I wanna go."

Michael shakes his head.

"You are not done."

"I said what I wanted to say. You saw the results. You gotta let me go." Kaia's hands curl into fists. "Now!"

"You are not going anywhere." Claire growls .

Jody sees Claire's expression turn into rage. Her eyes murderous.

The Sheriff stands up.

"Claire."

"We are gonna get justice for Kaia." Claire raises her fist and glares at Kaia. "You and me. One on one "

"I would beat you." Kaia says.

"We'll see about that."

Michael sees the young hunter heading straight for the dream walker. He steps in and reaches out. His fingers go on both girls heads.

Then the three of them vanish.
