"Thank you."
They were in another room. Sam was sitting on a couch. Take out containers littered the table. There was a small kitchenette in another part of the place. A dog ran over to River and sniffed her.
"Bones, she's a friend!" Sam walked over and River watched the Giant. He seemed lighter then before. He was relieved. He was smiling, wearing a grey tee shirt and jeans.
"This is a happier memory." River smiled lightly.
"Its kind of a memory. It's part of my mind." Sam sighed. "You stopped him."
"I don't think I was alone. You heard me, didn't you?" River faced him. Sam paused for a moment before answering.
"I did. I was able to hold him long enough to go elsewhere. He's pissed, but for now he's not here. He's probably watching."
"You have an overprotective older brother too?" River sat down and sunk onto the couch.
"Dean. Yeah. You too?"
"Simon." River laughed. "I'm the Smarter one. He hates to admit it. He saved me though. I owe him."
"Sounds familiar." Sam smiled weakly. "What he save you from?"
"People came. They took me. I was changed. Now I'm kind of a freak. I can read minds. I'm a human weapon at the right trigger."
"Now your story is sounding eerily familiar." Sam laughed.
"Really?" River looked up. "Whats yours?" The light flickered as shadows covered the window. Bones began barking as Sam jumped to his feet, alarm clear on his face.
"He's coming. You need to get away."
"I don't know how!" River exclaimed. The Fire was coming fast. "I fall asleep and I'm here! I wake up and I'm not!"
"So you're sleeping." Sam clarified.
"I passed out after..." River trailed off. Sam grabbed her shoulders for a moment.
"Then let this be like a fairy tale and that God hasn't abandoned you like he has me." Then he kissed her.
