Chapter four

"So what do you think?" Sam asked as he paced back and forth in the living room. Bobby and Jane had continued her training behind the house so the Winchester could process the information she had just given them about Ruby. Dean grinned.

"She seems hotter without a demon in her. Did you notice the Zeppelin shirt?" he said appreciatively. Sam turned to his elder brother. His annoyance obvious on his face.

"Can we just talk about the whole Ruby is evil part!?" he insisted.

"Why? This isn't exactly news to me Sammy." he reminded his younger brother.

"She helped us when we tried to break your contract." Dean shook his head at his younger brother.

"Didn't you hear what Jane said. Ruby held my contract."

"And why should we believe her? Just like that? Sam asked. "We know Ruby a lot longer then Jane."

"Yeah, and we know that she's a demon. Demons are generally evil Sam."

"Why are you so eager to believe her? Because she likes Zeppelin?" Sam argued. "Cause she probably just got that shirt from Bobby."

"Why do you need to believe Ruby this badly? Wouldn't have anything to do with you sneaking out last night would it?" Dean said. His eyes daring his brother to lie to him.

"Beer?" Sam welcomed Jane's interruption as Jane handed both Winchesters a bottle before taking a seat opposite of Dean.

"I'm going to talk to Bobby." Sam said before leaving the room.

Jane and Dean sat in awkward silence for about two minutes, but to Jane they seemed much longer.

"Did I interrupt?" She asked, unable to deal with the silence between.

"Doesn't matter." Dean said sipping his beer.

"Sorry." She looked at the eldest Winchester sitting opposite of her and realized. "He's already been training with her hasn't he?" She asked concerned. Dean looked up at her without answering when another question popped up in her head. One she had been waiting to ask.

"How did you get out?" she asked bluntly. Dean grinned.

"Seems God has a higher purpose for me." he said. "An Angel pulled me out." he answered dryly, no emotion on his face.

"What was it like?" she dared ask softly. His eyes met hers and her penetrating eyes, familiar eyes send a shiver through his spine. "Dean?" she asked after several moments of silence.

"I'm sorry." he apologized. "It's just weird you know. You look..." he made a gesture with his hand to get his point across. She smiled.

"Yeah, I understand." Jane forced a comforting smile before nervously bringing her bottle of beer to her lips. "Guess we both kind of came back from the death." she said. "Off course you remember who you were before."

"We'll find out who you are. Hot blondes don't appear out of thin air. One afternoon on Sam's computer and I'm sure you'll have a name and family again." Dean said a promising look in his eyes. Jane shook her head.

"Still, if I do have a family somewhere...they probably think I'm dead. Can't very well turn up on their doorstep unannounced. I'm not going back home." she said bitterly.

Dean opened his mouth ready to say something funny to lighten the mood. He wasn't good with emotion and the fact that this girl looked exactly like the demon that had send him to hell didn't help at all. She cut him of... "I'm never going home again." she said. "At least not until the demon that did this to me is dead."

"It's going to take a lot more then a few pretend battles in the back yard to be ready to deal with real demons." Dean reminded her. She nodded.

"I know. That's why I'm coming with you and Sam on your next hunts." Dean dismissed the suggestion by laughing before he realised she was dead serious.

"You're not kidding?" he said.

"I could help. Just think of me as an intern." she smiled.

"Not happening." Dean said as he stood up ready to end the conversation by leaving the room.

"I could help keep an eye on Sam. We could sleep in shifts to make sure he doesn't sneak out to see Ruby again." she said. Dean stopped in his tracks. "If it's true... if his training has started... He's killed people Dean."

He gasped for air as he walked around Bobby's house, unable to catch his breath. He couldn't believe what Jane had said but somehow knew that it was true at the same time. He must have had some kind of panic attack after her brutally honest words.

"So you finally see what I've been trying to tell you all along?" Dean turned upon hearing the familiar voice. A figure appeared out of the shade.

"You." he snapped at the Angel who had saved him from hell. "How long have you known this?" he demanded.

"Just a little longer then you. I just accepted the truth sooner then you." Castiel said.

"So what I'm I supposed to do? What do you want me to do about it. Kill my own brother? Is that what you've brought me back for? Cause I can tell you now that I won't do it." Dean yelled venomously.

"I'm not cruel Dean. I'm not asking you to kill your brother. I just need you to prepare for the battle ahead."

"How? By doing what? What is..!?" Dean asked the Angel.

"Later..," Castiel cut him of "but for now I have another hunt for you and your brother."
