Lark is so close. With the story coming to a close I hope that this short chapter is entertaining. So don't worry there would be at least one more chapter after this. Enjoy!

Chapter 19

Lark leaned on the closed door trying to keep her breathing under control. She knew where she was now even though she never stepped foot inside just by the result in the last room.

Christy has to be in one of these room; she thought as she found that there were four more rooms that still needed to be search. "Sonova..." Lark cursed quietly.

"You need some help?" the young girl asked gently grabbing Lark's hand.

"Please I can't search all these doors for..."

"She's in the last one at the end of the hall."

"Are you...?"

The girl nodded. "Back when Owens took her that's where she was found. In the last room."

Lark nodded and headed towards the last room. A loud crash came from behind the door and the tiny girl first showed fear as she ran behind Lark.

"You bitch!" Owens snarled stepping over the shattered pieces of the door. "You'll never escape this place! If your pathetic friend couldn't. What makes you think you're so special?"

"You didn't capture me, Owens." Lark said while gently pushing the young child to the door at the end of the hall. "Not to mention you won't." Lark spun around and began to run down the hall. Owens' screams of frustration echoed around them and the doors that sat to the right of Lark began to explode one after the other. Lark could see the last door at the end of the hall and the little girl who had fallen in the process. Stopping to help her up and grabbing her hand Lark reached the door, threw it open and they both stepped behind the door slamming and locking it shut behind them.

Dean stepped through the front door where he was greeted by a young man who was being led by Missouri much like when they first met her. "Now don't you worry. Things will be better once you invest in stock. Trust me you'll be here next month with the great news." The young man nodded and Missouri closed the door behind him and shook her head slowly. "That poor boy. First his wife went with the gardener now she's trying to steal his money. I swear after this he better leave town." She led Dean back to the kitchen. "She's advanced to a place where we can't help her." Missouri said slowly shaking her head. "I think she found out where she needs to go."

"What do you mean?" Dean asked pulling out several pieces of paper out from his jacket. "Are you trying to say that I wasted two hours in that library looking up information for nothing?"

"I couldn't get a hold of you." Missouri stated bluntly as she turned off the stove as Dean just realized that a kettle had started to whistle. "Besides, the fact you went out and did something instead of worrying about Lark was a good thing."

Dean's face dropped. "You made me leave to get away from Lark?"

"And it worked like a charm." Missouri smiled and began to pour some water into a large mug. "Cocoa?" she asked innocently already scooping out two large scoops and stirring it into the water. Dean smiled slightly as Missouri also grabbed a bag of mini marshmallows and set them in front of him.

"Thanks." Dean said stirring his cocoa mix and dropping the small marshmallows into it.

"You're welcome Dean." Missouri said gently patting his hand.

The room Lark and the child stumbled into was so cold that their breath danced from their mouths like their own spirits escaping their bodies. The child trembled and Lark instinctively wrapped her arms around her small frame and gently began to rub her arms. Lark glanced around the room trying to see what was inside waiting to challenge her. Owens' scream was muffled outside the door causing the room to shake. Why does he want me to stop so bad; Lark wondered and smiled as the child nodded her head clearly warmer then before.

"Lark?" The voice was soft and familiar making Lark look up and looked surprised she didn't see before. Christina was standing there wearing the red tank top and grey sweats she wore when she was taken. "How...how did you get here?"

"Christy?" Lark asked standing up and checking to see if she was real. "Oh God Christy! I'm so glad to see you. How do you feel?"

"First off, I'm confused as how you're in here. Second, because I don't know how you managed to find me. Third, I couldn't believe that Dean let you come here without him."

"Oh, he didn't have a choice." Lark smirked holding her sister tightly in her arms.

"When did you get your leg healed?" Christina asked her eyes falling on Lark's leg that she knew without a doubt was broken from their hunt in Upstate New York.

"Oh...Cas healed me..." It was Lark's turn to look confused. "Don't you remember?" Christina shook her head. "What was the last thing you remember?"

"Fighting with Dean, getting in a car accident and waking up here just now."

"You're just waking up? And you don't have any other memories?" Lark asked in surprise.

"No, why what has happened?" she asked looking frightened.

"Christy that's been over three months. You're alive at Bobby's and not stuck here."

"Her soul has been trapped here since the accident." the child said taking the vial out of Lark's pocket. "But once we get her out of here. She won't remember this encounter but her own memories will help her catch up to what had happened."

Christina opened the vial and raised the bottle to her lips. In one quick gulp, she downed the contents swallowing it. Christina's body began to glow the same milky green color Lark had seen back in the Bed and Breakfast. Gradually that same milky green light lit up as Christina's body disappeared and surrounded both Lark and the child in warmth and love.

Lark let out a loud gasp and felt herself rolling off the count and onto the floor with a thump. She was back in Missouri's house and her head throbbed with pain. Dean rushed into the room with Missouri closely behind.

"Babe, it's okay..." Dean whispered helping her to sit up.

Lark's eyes found Dean's green ones that were filled with worry but were warm and inviting. Her deep blue eyes filled up with tears as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"She was trapped in his house." Lark sobbed her body trembling. She broke the embrace and looked down in her clutched hand. The vial was filled with the milky green swirl now.

"Is that...?" Dean asked and Missouri nodded.

"Best call your angel friend and have him collect it."

"Cas," Dean smiled taking the vial and gently holding it. The inside pulsed inside like a tiny heart. "Cas we have it. We need you to come pick it up."

"I'm here Dean." Castiel said appearing right next to Missouri who didn't flinch.

"It's good you're here." Missouri said gently taking the vial from Dean's hand. "But next time knock on the door please." She handed Castiel the vial who thought about vanishing right there but the dark look Missouri gave him made him decide to walk to the front door before vanishing. "It's good he learns quickly. Now, come on into the kitchen. you both need something to eat."

"What about Owens' soul? He was chasing me." Lark asked wanting to make sure he wouldn't be able to harm Christina again.

"He won't be able to both anyone, Lark." Missouri smiled. "Once you gathered her soul all of Owens' soul was destroyed muck like the world he sent you in. Now come on. I would hate for Dean to suffer more instead of eating that pie."

Sam jumped when Castiel appeared holding a milky green vial. Castiel didn't wait for any questions as he opened the lid and carefully tilted it into Christina's mouth. The green liquid easily flowed through her slightly parted lips and out of sight. The dark room began to glow the same soft green as it traveled down her throat and began to light up her veins as tiny symbols began to glow on her arm.

Sam and Castiel stared in silence when the glowing stopped. Soon a chocking sound erupted from Christina as a dark color smoke exited her mouth and into the vial. Instinctively Castiel closed the vial and turned his attention back to Christina who cleared her throat and rolled over on her side and fell into a deep calming sleep.

Castiel didn't wait for permission as he gently laid a hand on her forehead and used his grace to scan her. His mouth stretched with a smile. Something Sam had hardly seen since knowing him.

"Her soul...it's back to normal." He seemed relaxed as he looked down at the swirling black mist that moved inside the vial. "There's no need to worry about your sister anymore Sam. Let her sleep. I will need to dispose of him."

"Owens?" Sam asked and Castiel nodded before vanishing, leaving Sam to sink into the desk chair looking calmer knowing his sister was back now. He sent a text to Dean to let him know things were okay at his end and to check on Lark.
