"Kane…" A 20-year-old Kaylee sobbed into a 21-year-old Kane's bare chest. Kane shushed her quietly and kissed the top of her head as he pulled her so she was sitting in his lap.
"It's okay, your safe here. You're safe" Kane whispered looking around at the scene before him. The forest they were sitting in only hours earlier now had a burnt perfect circle with them sitting dead centre. A forest that had several cabins full of people staying in was now gone.
"We're safe" Kane whispered again worried about the power he had just seen Kaylee display without any control. Kaylee held Kane tightly fear running through her veins.
Kaylee sat up in her bed sweating, Dean was packing his bag and looked over at her worried.
"Kaylee?" Dean asked softly walking over to her. Kaylee looked around confused before her eyes settled on Deans face. She blinked and rubbed her face sighing.
"I'm okay, just a… bad dream" Kaylee lied, remembering that day very well. It was the first anniversary of her father's death. It was the day that after a year of repressing her feelings and emotions it finally exploded… literally. It was also the first day that she feared herself. She discovered what she could be capable off if she dug down deep inside her, into the demon's blood. Dean nodded to her and went to grab Sam from the bathroom.
"Sam, come on, zip it up. Let's hit the..." Dean opened the door to find Sam gripping the sink in pain.
"Road" Dean said worried. Kaylee appeared next to Dean.
"What?" She asked before seeing Sam's pained face. She rushed to his side and helped him walk back to the bed.
"We need to go to the Roadhouse" Sam said rushed and Kaylee rushed around the room and grabbed their belongings within a blink of an eye. They jumped into the Impala and drove off towards the Roadhouse.
"I don't know, Sammy. Why don't we just chill out, think about this?" Kaylee asked from the backseat, not wanting to go to a building full of hunters in her current frame of mind. The memory of her losing control for the first time was still fresh in her mind. The memory of her killing innocents for the first time and not feeling a damn thing was still fresh in her mind.
"What's there to think about?" Sam asked confused but Kaylee didn't answer, she was lost in her thoughts.
"Just don't know if going to the Roadhouse is the smartest idea" Dean explained, agreeing with Kaylee.
"Dean, it's another premonition. I know it. This is gonna happen, and Ash can tell us where. Plus, it could have some connection with the demon. My visions always do" Sam argued frustrated.
"That's my point. There's gonna be hunters there. I don't know if... if going in and announcing that you're some supernatural freak with a demonic connection is the best thing, okay?" Dean argued back making Kaylee rub her head frustrated.
"So, I'm a freak now?" Sam asked hurt.
"You've always been a freak" Dean joked and Kaylee hit Dean in the head before looking at Sam.
"Nothing wrong with being a freak, Sammy. But, I'm not going to the Roadhouse with you" Kaylee said surprising Dean and Sam.
"What?' Dean asked worried about Kaylee running off again and him losing her forever.
"I'm in no state of mind to be around hunters. You guys go and get any information you can and I'll meet up with you later. I need to… do something anyways" Kaylee said trailing off and Dean looked at her worried and suspious.
"Has this got anything to do with your nightmare?" Dean asked and Kaylee smiled sadly at him before leaning forward and kissing him on the lips while he was still driving and then kissing Sam on the cheek.
"Call me when you get a lead" Kaylee said to the brothers before jumping out of the car and chuckling as she heard Dean swear at her as he continued to drive further into the distance. Kaylee cracked her neck and looked around to find the forest thick along the side of the road. She shifted into her werewolf form and went running through the forest, letting the memories of her dream fade away.

"Damn, little lady, that was my room money" A hunter said to Jo as she beat him at the old-school shooting game they had in the bar.
"Then I guess you're taking a truck nap tonight" Jo replied grinning as she grabbed the money from him.
"I'd have checked the high scores before you put your money down. Went and got yourself hustled, Ed" Ellen said bringing up the high score on the game to see it was all Jo. Dean and Sam walked through the front door.
"Just can't stay away, huh?" Jo said grinning at Dean. Dean chuckled.
"Yeah, looks like. How you doing, Jo?" Dean asked but Sam walked over.
"Where's Ash?" Sam asked quickly.
"In his back room. And I'm fine" Jo replied sarcastically as Sam left quickly.
"Sorry. He's -We're kind of on a bit of a timetable" Dean said before following Sam. Sam went and knocked on a door that had 'Dr. Badass Is In' written on it.
"Ash? Hey, Ash?" Sam asked knocking on the door.
"Hey, Dr. Badass?" Dean asked walking over to him and the door opened to reveal a very naked Ash.
"Sam. Dean. Sam and Dean" Ash said surprised to see them.
"Hey, Ash, um, we need your help" Sam explained wincing as he looked at Ash's naked body.
"Hell, then, guess I need my pants" Ash said excitedly as he shut the door on them. It opened a few minutes later with Ash wearing clothes. Sam gave Ash a picture of a symbol he saw in the vision.
"So, I got a match. It's the logo for the Blue Ridge Bus Lines. Guthrie, Oklahoma" Ash explained typing away on his laptop.
"Okay. Do me a favour. Check Guthrie for any demonic signs or omens or anything like that" Sam explained needing to know what was going on.
"You think the demon is there?" Ash asked confused.
"Yeah. Maybe" Sam said softly.
"Why would you think that?" Ash asked curiously.
"Just check it, all right?" Dean snapped making Ash look at him with a raised eyebrow. Sam looked over at Dean thankfully as he rubbed his hand with the cast on it that the zombie chick broke on the last hunt.
"No, sir, nothing. No demon" Ash explained simply.
"All right. Try something else for me. Search Guthrie for a house fire. It would be 1983. Fire's origin would be a baby's nursery, night of the kid's 6-Month birthday" Sam explained and Dean looked around to make sure no one had overheard him. Jo did.
"Okay, now, that is just weird, man. Why the hell would I be looking for that?" Ash asked confused.
"'Cause there's a PBR in it for you" Sam said simply putting a beer in front of him.
"Give me 15 minutes" Ash said quickly typing away at his laptop. Dean shook his head and went and grabbed another beer, watching as Jo played a song on the jukebox. Dean scoffed at the song choice.
"What?" Jo asked seeing Dean's look.
"R.E.O. Speed wagon?" Dean asked.
"Damn right, R.E.O. Kevin Cronin sings it from the heart" Jo argued walking over to him.
"He sings it from the hair. There's a difference" Dean replied sarcastically.
"That profile you've got ash looking for? Your mom died the same way, didn't she… the fire in Sam's nursery?" Jo asked softly, not wanting her mom to overhear.
"Look, Jo, it's kind of a family thing" Dean said not wanting to talk about it with her and really wishing he was with Kaylee or even knew where she was right now.
"I could help" Jo offered.
"I'm sure you could, but we got to handle this one ourselves. We have… a friend who helps us" Dean said almost saying Kaylee's name but then remembering Jo thinks she is dead.
"We have a match. We got to go" Sam said walking over to them.
"All right, Jo, see you later" Dean said simply as he grabbed his jacket and left the bar with Sam.
