Chapter seven
"We've already excluded the possibility of her being possessed by a demon." Bobby stated as he tossed the newspaper that was the reason for their little get together to the centre of the table. The first page read 'Missing girl found dead' just above a picture of Jane. The paper was dated a few days after the big showdown with Lillith about six months ago.
"So what does this mean?" Sam asked as he turned from Bobby to his brother both of them looking equally confused. "Normal people don't tend to wake up from the grave."
Dean cleared his throat remembering Sam of his own get-out-of-Hell-free-pass.
"Maybe she's been pulled out as well." Bobby suggested. "Maybe you should ask Castiel what he knows about her." Dean shook his head.
"Then why wouldn't she just tell us?" he asked. "Why pretend not to remember."
Sam turned to his brother with arched eyebrows.
"I don't know Dean...Why did you pretend not to remember." he asked. Dean rolled his eyes, cursing himself for walking straight into that one.
"Boys, we need to be sure before jumping to conclusions." Bobby reminded the brothers.
"How do you suppose we find that out." Dean asked. Both Bobby and Sam turned to the eldest Winchester, their intention clear on their faces.
"What?" Dean whined. "Why me."
"You're our expert on rising from the dead." Bobby explained.
"What do you want me to do?" Dean asked.
"Just talk to her. Find out everything she remembers." Sam said.
"...Fine" Just as Dean stood up a sound outside send a chill through his spine. Sam and Bobby had heard it to and rushed to the window. "Please tell me..." Dean started.
"She took the Impala."

The road looked blurry through her tears. Though she may not remember anything from more then two weeks ago she knew that it was never a good sign to be excluded from a meeting. She had carefully followed the entire conversation just outside the kitchen while they thought she was freshening up in the shower.
"I died." she repeated over and over in her head. But how was it possible that she was back? Maybe the same thing that happened to Dean happened to her as well. But she needed to find out for sure. She needed an explanation for the strange blackout from last night as well. Last thing she remembered was Ruby standing at the foot of her bed before waking up in the middle of what used to be her coffee table without a scratch on her. Something was horribly wrong and she knew only one place that could solve a problem like this.

Dean felt dirty, driving the beaten up, red Hyundai Matrix he borrowed from Bobby. Scenario's of how he was going to make Jane regret taking his baby flashed through his mind. Off course he had no idea where he'd find her... all he could do was drive around aimlessly and hope she would contact Sam or Bobby who had promised to call him as soon as they heard something. Suddenly he spotted something on the horizon.
The Impala stood at the side of the road abandoned. Dean brought the Hyundai to a halt next to his own car and rushed to the side of the Impala to check it for scratch.
"JANE!!?" he called out when the girl appeared to be nowhere in sight. "JANE!!!"
"Dean?" the voice was barely audible but Dean managed to hear her. A trembling Jane appeared at the side of the road. She seemed petrified.
"Dean...do you..." she struggled to form a sentence "Do you have the knife?" she asked referring to Ruby's demon-killing blade. Dean looked at the girl suspiciously as she walked over to him.
"Why?" he asked.
"You have to kill me Dean..." she whimpered. "There's something wrong with me." she looked up at him and his eyes met hers and he was shocked to find them completely white, similar to Lilliths. "There's something wrong with my eyes." she whimpered. Dean hurried to her side to help her but when she reached for him and grabbed hold of his arm for balance a burning pain seared through his arm and burned through the material of his coat.
"AAAARGH!!!"
"Dean!!!?" Jane cried quickly pulling away from him. She watched the Winchester fall to the floor screaming in agony. She looked down at the palms of her hands but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"KILL ME DEAN!!!" She begged falling to the floor. "YOU HAVE TO KILL ME!!!"
"NO!" he told her trying to sooth her. "Just calm down. Try to control it."
"I can't..."
"You have to. CALM DOWN!" She fought to control her breathing, desperate to calm herself and slowly but surely her eyes turned back to normal.
Slowly Dean pulled himself off of the floor and walked over to her.
"Don't touch me." she whimpered. "I'm a demon."
"No you're not. That's one thing we're sure of." The elder Winchester tried to comfort her. "But you are evil."
She looked up at him in shock at his statement.
"You'd have to be to steal a guys car." he added with a forced grin. Trying to lighten the mood with a joke.
"I think this happened before." she said thinking back to the previous night. "Last night I saw Ruby in my hotel room. She stood at the foot of my bed." Dean looked at her surprised at the revelation.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, I blacked out. I just remember waking up on the floor between parts of the coffee table." she confessed. "I'm not even human am I?" she asked.
"We don't know..." Dean said honestly. "Probably not. Let's get back to Bobby's and get some rest. We'll find out what you are in the morning."
- - -
"Is she asleep?" Sam asked when Bobby returned back to the kitchen. Dean was taking a shower and Jane had passed out the second she saw her bed.
Bobby nodded. "I locked the window and the door just to be sure she'd stay in her room."
"We need to find out what the hell she is and soon." Sam said. "If she has another one of those episodes like the one Dean described. She could be dangerous."
"I've never heard of any demon or anything like that." Bobby said. Suddenly the door opened and dean stood there wearing only his jeans.
"I've got a pretty good idea what she is." he said he said holding up the arm she had hurt. A red hand print marked his skin where she had touched him. Similar to the ones on his upper arms after being pulled out of the pit. "I think she might be another Angel. Castiel said he had an army on earth."
"She might be one of his soldiers."
"We need to talk to him soon." Sam stated.
"Yeah, but he doesn't exactly have a phone. How do you suggest we get in touch." Dean asked his younger brother.
"We summon him."
"Are you kidding." Bobby interfered. "Have you forgotten what happened the last time we tried that?"
"What other choice do we have?" Dean asked. "We need answers and we need them now." Bobby sighed.
"Fine, I'll prepare everything." Bobby said. "But if I get my eyeballs melted out of my skull I'm blaming you boys."
