As they exited the hospital Katie watched as Dean walked to the driver's side of the impala. She quickly ran over to stop him.

"What are you doing?" Dean asked looking over to her confused.

"No, what are you doing?" Katie asked. "Weren't you knocking at death's door just a couple of hours ago, I don't really think you should be driving" she held out her hand. "Keys"

"Like that's going to happen" Dean said. "I don't care if I'm covered in blood and my organs are falling out of my stomach and Sammy over there is barely conscious" he shook his head. "I still would not hand over the keys"

"Why not?" Katie asked. "It's been a whole year and you seem to be getting used to the whole me being a witch thing" she reached for the keys but he quickly pulled them away. "Just let me drive"

"Will somebody drive?" Sam asked annoyed with the bickering. "We need to go, like now"

"Fine" Katie said glaring at Dean. "Kill us all" she moved to get into the backseat. "I won't as to drive your precious car ever again"

"Women" Dean muttered as he and Sam get into the car as well. The first stop naturally was to the tent where their unusual miracle happened. Dean pulled up able to see a couple of people moving around the tent.

"Here" Sam said pulling out a badge from the glove compartment and handing it to Dean. Dean reached over and took it before turning to Katie.

"You know the deal" Dean said. "You wait in the car until we get back" She didn't reply and he looked over to Sam who only shrugged. Dean sighed before turning back to her.

"The silent treatment?" Dean asked and Katie shook her head. "That's real mature" Dean just turned and got out of the car.

"We'll yell if we need you" Sam said looking back to Katie.

"Make sure you're loud. I may not hear you all the way in the car" Katie said still looking out the window. Sam simply shook his head before getting out of the car. Of course she knew the deal. It had been a year and there were times Katie felt like a third wheel instead of part of a team. They usually made her wait in the car when they did their whole "We're agents" thingy. She turned to see the guys as they walked inside the tent. "I could pretend to be a police officer or an FBI agent if I wanted to. Its not like its hard"

"You know people will start to believe that you're crazy if they catch you talking to yourself" A familiar voice came from the front seat.

"That's a good thing" Katie said turning to angel. "If they think I'm crazy they won't mess with me" he smiled. "Long time no see Gabe"

"So what are you doing out here alone" Gabe said looking around the empty car and then over to the tent.

"The guys are doing the whole "I'm a cop" thing and they won't let me come" Katie said looking back at the entrance as well to see if the guys were coming.

"So it looks like you've gotten really close" Gabe said and Katie turned back to him and shrugged.

"I guess" Katie replied. "A lot closer than we were a year ago" she looked back out the window. "Plus when you save someone's life it's hard to just not feel a certain way about it"

"I think I was watching that day" Gabe said and Katie turned to him. It still creeped her out that the angel could be watching her and she wouldn't even know it. "He would've died the moment those spears came at him" Katie nodded.

"Well he didn't" Katie replied with a shrug. "And now, well you see"

"I do see" Gabe replied cryptically and Katie looked over to him confused. "I see a lot of things I didn't see before"

"What does that mean?" Katie asked and the angel simply smiled.

"I'll check in with you later" Gabe said before disappearing.

"What do you see?" Katie called looking up to the ceiling of the car. "And what the hell did you do to my bike?"

"Why are you yelling?" Dean asked startling Katie. She looked over to see Sam and Dean looking at her before getting into the car.

"uh I was…talking to myself" Katie replied with a shrug.

"Do you usually yell at yourself" Dean asked and Katie glared at him.

"What does it matter to you?" she asked before turning to Sam. "What did you find out?

"Well he wasn't there but we were able to get an address for where he's staying while he is in town" said.

"Well then what are we waiting for lets go or do you want to ask more irrelevant questions?" asked looking over to Dean.

"He's not there." Sam interrupted hoping the bickering wouldn't start again. "He's apparently out visiting a different church and he won't be back home until later tonight."

"So I guess we go back to our motel, get some rest and then pay Roy a visit when he gets in." Dean said before looking over to Katie. "If that alright with you, princess"

"Whatever." She replied before turning to look out the window.

"Women" Dean muttered to himself before pulling off.

The silence continued as they pulled into the parking lot of their motel. Katie wordlessly got out of the car and headed up the stairs to her room. Sam and Dean shared a look before getting out as well and following behind her. She was unlocking her door when Sam and Dean finally caught up.

"Hey we will come and—" Dean hadn't even finished what he was saying when she opened her door, walked in and slammed the door in his face. He growled annoyed at the woman. "Come and get you so be ready!" He turned back to his brother who smirked. "what's with the smirk?"

"Nothing" Sam said shaking his head and heading to their room. "You two are just so cute" Dean scoffed.

"There is nothing remotely cute about that woman" Dean replied as Sam unlocked their door. "She's loud and annoying and she talks too much—" he walks into the room behind his brother taking off his jacket. "Entirely way too much and she gets on my nerves like no one else"

"So you're telling me that's all you feel for her?" Sam asks lying back on his bed. "I mean you only think of her as your annoying friend?"

"Please I barely think of her as a friend." Dean replies lying back on his bed as well. "She's like an annoying rash that no matter what you do just won't go away."

"Uh huh" Sam says closing his eyes. He wondered if his brother knew how unconvincing he sounded right now.

After getting some rest Dean, Sam and Katie left for Roy LaGrange's house. They pulled up each one of them looking up at the massive estate of the seamlessly modest pastor.

"Well I guess the whole faith healing thing pays big bucks" Dean said admiring the large house. "Look at the size of this place" They all get out getting a better look at the play.

"I've seen bigger" Katie said smirking over to Dean who only glared.

"What are you doing?" Dean asked looking over to Katie. "You know the drill. You. Backseat. Stay"

"Ok, so I'm not a dog and two I think this time I'm going to break the drill" Katie said moving past Dean. "You don't know what we're dealing with and you may need my help" She was already walking toward the door not even giving him a chance to oppose.

"See nothing about that" Dean said gesturing over to Katie. "Is cute" Sam shook his head before he and his brother followed behind Katie. Katie sighed before reaching forward and pressing the doorbell. It didn't take long for someone to answer, but not who they expected.

"Layla?" Dean said surprised to see the woman again. Katie looked confused looking between the pretty woman who'd just opened the door and Dean. She looked to Dean noticing that look in his eyes when he spotted something he wanted. A look he usually reserved for women and food. Katie had to fight the urge to gag.

"Dean." Layla said with a bright smiled. "Good to see you again."

"You two know each other?" Katie said her voice portraying an emotion she hoped wasn't too obvious.

"Yeah we met today at LaGrange's church." Dean replied not even sparing Katie a look as he focused completely on the woman in front of them. " Wait ,what are you doing here?"

"Well my parents live here." Layla said with a nod. "I'm staying here for a while until my step mother comes back from visiting her parents"

"Roy Lagrange is your father?" Sam asked and the woman looked over to him and nodded.

"Yeah he is." Layla replied proudly. " And I saw what he did for you. How are you feeling?" Dean smiled moving in a little closer to the woman and Katie rolled her eyes.

"I feel—"

"Fine, he's fine" Katie interrupted and Dean glared over to her and she glared back. "He's a warm breeze on a summer day" she turned back to Layla. "You father, is he home?"

"Yeah he's in his study and you are?" Layla asked and Katie plastered on a smile of her own as she held out her hand.

"Katie." The witch replied as she shook Layla's hand. "The name's Katie"

"Oh are you their sister?" Layla asked and Katie fought the urge to hit the woman. She could tell the woman was just curious, but the question seemed to upset Katie.

"Sister?" Dean cut in and Katie looked over to him. There would be snark in his comment. "No she's uh-" he looked over to her and an annoying smirk graced his lips. "I guess you could call her the hitchhike who just won't go away"

"Wow, Dean always with the jokes" she said turning back to Layla. "No, yeah I'm there sister" she gave Dean a hard shove nearly pushing him off balance. "Big bro here is always the joker" he glared over to her. "Sometimes I just can't stop laughing.

"Oh" Layla said looking between Katie and Dean a little confused. She just smiled and stepped aside. "Well come in"

"The next time you hit me you will be sorry" Dean whispered to Katie as they walked in to the house. Katie smiled as she looked over to the man.

"Oh did the widdle princess hurt you" Katie whispered back and Dean smiled looking back over to her.

"Please" Dean muttered. "You hit like a girl" he suddenly pushed her shoulder, knocking her off her feet.

"Oh, my" Layla said walking over. "Are you ok?" Katie only smiled looking over to the woman.

"Yeah, I'm just a little clumsy" Katie replied standing to her feet making sure to send a glare in Dean's direction.

"So, what can I do for you" Layla asked looking between her three guests.

"A lot actually" Dean replied his voice going seductively low. Katie once again fought the urge to gag.

"Ew. We're actually here to talk to your father" Katie said

"Yea we want to ask him some questions about uh what he does" Sam said hoping the question didn't sound too offensive.

"Oh I get it." Layla said with a nod. "You still don't believe huh? Don't worry thins happens more than you know. Let me go get him, have a seat" With that the woman left to find her father.

"A lot actually" Katie said mimicking Dean's voice and he just looked over to her.

"Excuse me?" Dean asked. "Say something princess?"

"Oh, nothing you're just an idiot" Katie said before sitting on the end of the couch. Dean sat on the other end leaving Sam to sit in the middle. Somehow he always ended up in the middle.

Roy sat in his office, his eyes glued to his visitor in front of him.

"You sure you have everything under control?" the strange man asked and the Pastor nodded.

"Yes tell him he has nothing to worry about" replied proudly. There was knock on the door and suddenly the man was gone. Roy looked up just in time to see his daughter walk into his office.

"Dad, there are some people here to see you." Layla said. "You healed one of them and they are still unbelievers"

"Of course they are sweetheart" Roy chuckled as he stood to his feet. "I don't understand it, these people come for a miracle and when they get it they can't accept it." He walked around his desk to his daughter. "Well let's go enlighten them."

The pair walked down the stairs to find their guests sitting on the couch.

"Here he is." Layla said as she and he father walked over to them. "Sorry for the wait".

"No problem at all." Sam said as he Dean, and Katie stood to their feet. "Hello sir" Sam said going to shake Roy's hand.

"Nice to meet you sir" Dean said when he was shaking Roy's hand.

"You're the boy with all the questions about your miracle from God?" Roy asked and Dean nodded.

"Uh yea sir, about that—"

"I know you have lots of questions" Roy said before turning to Katie. "But who is this heavenly young lady here" Roy said walking to Katie. Dean scoffed gaining a glare from Katie.

"Who her?" Dean asks. "Well I wouldn't say she's heavenly…." Dean said but quickly shut up when he got a nasty look from Katie.

"Hello Mr. Granger, my name is Katie" Katie said and the moment she took his hand an overwhelming feeling took over her, even her breathing seemed labored.

"Please call me Roy" Roy said. He noticed the change in her expression. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine—" Katie said noticing the worried glances she was getting. "I just… you know I have a bit of asthma and I need to get some air" she began to make her way to the door when Dean caught her arm.

"Hey you okay" Dean whispered and she nodded.

"I'm…. just ask your questions." She nodded her head toward the door. "I'll be outside when you're finished." Dean watched as she walked out the door unable to explain the sudden urge to go after her to make sure she was really ok.

"I hope your friend is alright?" Layla asked and Dean turned back to her.

"I'm sure she's fine" Sam replied looking over to his brother who looked just as worried as he did. "Now to why we're here"

"I know why you're here. Please have a seat." Pastor Roy said leading them back over to take a seat in front of the fireplace. "You're here because you want me to tell you how I did what I did to heal you of whatever it was you had"

"Well yea. You probably get this all the time." Dean replied. "You can't blame us for being a little curious?

"Of course not." Roy said with a chuckle. "Which is why I am going to tell you what I tell others like you. I do nothing. It is all the power of God"

"Well have you always been able to do this?" Sam asked.

"No, it first happened a couple of years ago." Layla spoke and they turned to her. "With me."

"Yes. My daughter had cancer." Roy said reaching over and taking her hand in his. " Every doctor who saw her said the same thing, that she was gonna die and that she should just be a comfortable as possible until the end. But I didn't give up that easily. I prayed harder than I did ever before, then I touched my daughter's forehead and God's power came through me and healed my little girl." Sam and Dean shared a look before turning back to the pastor and his daughter.

.meanwhile outside

"I know you're here, so just show yourself" Katie called into the wind. The moment she touched the pastor's hand she knew something was here. She felt a strange wind pass and knew she was no longer alone. She turned around and there standing was a man.

"I knew I smelled a witch." He said with a chuckle. "You really shouldn't be here. So why don't you and those pesky Winchester boys take a hike"

"Sure that gonna happen." Katie said walking toward the demon. She peaked under his hat to glace at his features. At first he looked like any other middle aged man. Then she closed her eyes and when she opened them she was able to see the man's true grotesque features. "I should have known this was all the doing of a Gramlock demon." She shook her head. "So how did ole Roy get tangled up with you?"

"Let's just say people are likely to do much of anything in a desperate situation" The Gramlock demon said before disappearing into the night.

"Hey come back here." Katie yelled looking around. "I'm not through with you." She stopped and looked up to the sky. "And I so do not smell" the moment the words flew out of her mouth she knew she wasn't alone. She plastered on a smile and turned to see Layla, Dean and Sam looking over to her.

"Who were you talking to?" Layla asked.

"Uh. Myself." It worked for her so far so she stuck with it. "I do that sometimes" Katie said walking over to them.

"Don't mind her she's sort of special" Dean whispered to Layla who just nodded in understanding what he was saying.

"So you guys ready to go?" Katie asked.

"Yea, we're all through here" Sam said before looking over to Layla. "Thanks for your time" Layla nodded before watching as Sam walked toward the car. Katie was about to follow after him when she realized Dean hadn't moved from his spot in front of Layla.

"Layla it was really nice seeing you again" Dean said his voice going low again and Katie suddenly wanted to gag again.

"It was good to see you too Dean." Layla replied reaching into her pocket and pulling out a slip of paper. "Call me sometime" she placed the paper in Dean's hand and the eldest Winchester smiled.

"For heaven's sake." Katie said. "Can we go!" Dean turned and glared over to the woman for interrupting the moment.

"Why don't you go get in the car and I'll be there in a minute" Dean said hoping she get the hint and just leave.

"Layla!" Roy called to his daughter.

"Coming Dad!" she called over her shoulder. "I should go, don't lose my number" Layla said before placing a kiss on Dean's cheek and then going back into the house. Katie ignored the twinge inside of her, turning away.

"Don't worry I won't" Dean said still looking at the closed door.

"Don't worry I won't" Katie said mocking Dean. "Will you move your ass? We have work to do" And with that she turned and headed for the car. Dean simply shook his head before following after her.

When they arrived back to their room, Katie recounted her findings to the brothers which only left them with even more questions.

"So what is this Gramlock demon and how do we kill it?" Dean asked and Katie shrugged.

"I don't know" Katie replied standing to her feet.

"You don't know?" Dean asked shaking his head. "That just great. How do you know about it then?"

"I came across one a few years back, when I first started hunting. I was inexperienced and I let it get away." She turned away and the guys noticed something they didn't see too often from Katie. "People got hurt, people I care—" she turned back to them. "Don't worry that's not happening this time." She began moving toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Sam asked

" Back to my room." Katie replied looking over to them. "There may be something in one of my books that can tell us how to kill the Gramlock." Katie said before leaving Sam and Dean.

Over the course of Katie's life, she learned many things. One of those things was that in life there was always the chance for do overs. This one was hers and she was going to learn from the mistakes of the past.

"No one else I care about will get hurt" Katie said before going to handle this herself.

"You think she's up to this?" Sam asked looking over to Dean who was standing by the window.

"I don't know." Dean replied. " But we've had our share of failed missions that have ended with innocent people getting hurt. I know if I had a chance to somehow make it right, then I would."

"What's up?" Sam asked.

"How long does it take to get a book?" Dean asked looking over to his brother.

"You think something's wrong?" Sam said getting to his feet.

"I don't know, but I'm about to find out" Dean said checking his gun and heading next door to Katie's room. He knocked on the door but didn't get an answer. He reached into his pocket for his lock pick to open the door. Once inside they looked over every inch of the place but she wasn't there.

"She's not here." Dean said turning back to his brother. "Where did she go?"

"You don't think she tried to handle this thing alone do you" Sam asked.

"How? Where would she go—" It suddenly hit Dean. She was smart and she would start with the only connection to the demon. "Granger. Lets go" Dean said running to the impala followed by Sam.

Katie crept around the house, hoping she would gain the element of surprise. She saw the window to Roy's study and noticed the light was on.

"I think we should talk Roy" Katie said to herself. She began climbing up the side of the house using the rain gutter. She hopped onto the balcony outside the window. She looked inside to see Roy sitting behind his desk. Looking around she found that he was alone. After a moment she took a deep breath before opening the door. The pastor opened his mouth, but before anything could pass his lips Katie flicked her wrist freezing him in place. She closed the door to the balcony, before walking over to take a seat on the man's desk, placing one hand over his mouth and using the door to unfreeze him.

"Hello Pastor Roy" Katie said with a grin on her face. "Now I'm here to talk, that's it, but if you scream or call for help, I'm going to do a lot more than talk" the man nodded before Katie dropped her hand from his mouth.

"Where did you come from?" Roy asked standing up from his desk and moving away from Katie.

"Aw c'mon a big man like you who makes deal with demons can't be scared" Katie said jumping from the desk and moving toward him.

"You're the women from earlier" the pastor said finally realizing who Katie was. "What do you want?" he began easing toward the door and with a flick of her wrist Katie slammed the door shut, sending a chair in front of it.

"No no no." Katie said with a smiled. "You weren't trying to leave were you?" she planted herself in front of the man. "The party's just getting started"

"Look if its money you want, there's a safe over there, take all you want" Roy said shaking scared.

"I don't want your money." Katie sighed. " I want to know how you came to meet the Gramlock demon?"

"Gramlock demon?" Roy asked confused. " I don't know what you're talking about." Katie shook her head before reaching up a hand toward the man sending him up and pinned to the wall.

"Look. I don't think you have any idea what you have done." Katie said walking over to look up at the man. "You see all those people you think you've saved are going to die. And sense one of those people just so happens to be a friend of mine, and another is your daughter, then I suggest you start talking" she dropped her hand and let the man fall to the floor.

"No. He's not a demon." He replied looking up to Katie. "He's an angel from God. He said God gave me these powers to do his will"

"An angel. Really?" Katie said shaking her head. " Well he lied, He's a demon, a twisted one at that to use you of all people to do his bidding"

"How do I know you're not lying" Roy said crouched on the floor.

"Because I'm the good guy." Katie said holding out a hand to help the man to his feet. "Now tell me what you know before its too late" Pastor Roy looked at her hand for a moment skeptically before finally deciding to take it. He stood to his feet before walking over and taking a seat behind his desk.

"About 2 years ago Layla was sick. She was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors had given up hope and for a moment so did I. When I was sitting in the chapel of the church this man came and told me he was angel and that he could give me the ability to save my daughter and many other people. At first I was skeptical. But I was desperate. I couldn't lose her. She was all I had, after my first wife passed. So I did it"

"What did you do?" Katie asked.

"I signed some contract, and then I went to her room and touched her forehead. They checked her and the Cancer was gone. Ever since then I have had this gift. I would have never if I knew people were going to die." He said shaking his head. "What can I do to stop this before it's too late?"

"I don't know quite yet." Katie said closing her eyes trying to come up with an idea. "You've spent time with him. Is there anything he seemed to keep close to him, or had all the time with him?"

"Well he does have this cane. There's this strange red orb on it." Roy said and Katie opened her eyes and looked over to the man. "I always admire it when he comes to see me. But he always kept it close to him. And it would glow red at times. He never told me why."

"The Gramlock before had a pendant that glowed red. " Katie muttered to herself. "That must be there power source"

"Look I have an idea." She said walking around the desk to stand in front of him. "But you have to do everything I say, okay?"

Sam and Dean moved as quickly as possible to get back to the LeGrange house.

"So now what?" Sam asked as he and Dean walked up they walked up the front door. "We can't just bust in there and say can we please come in, we think our friend is here to kill your father, mind if we check."

"Look we can just come in a say we forgot something." Dean replied looking up to the door. " I just hope were not too late" He reached forward and rang the doorbell and once again the door opened and there was Layla.

"You two, again?" Layla asked looking between the brothers. "It's kind of late for more questions." she said.

"We're sorry." Dean replied. "It's just my brother here thinks he dropped his wallet while he was here and we wondering if you saw it"

"No I didn't see anything, but you can come in and look" Layla said with a smile as she let them in.

"Is your dad awake?" Sam asked as he walked into the living room, pretending to look for his wallet.

"Last I checked he was in his study-" Everyone stopped when they heard a loud crash from above them. The all looked up to the ceiling.

"Katie" Dean said.

"Stay here" Sam says over to Layla before running over to follow his brother. They followed the commotion to a door at the end of the hall. Dean reached forward to open the door, it wouldn't budge.

"It's stuck, like there's something blocking it" Dean said looking over to his brother.

"Katie!" Dean yelled pounding on the door. "Open the door!" he waited for a response, but got nothing.

Katie laid on the ground after being thrown by the Gramlock. She'd hit her head against wall pretty hard. She looked up to see the Gramlock was now heading for Roy. She thought she heard Dean's voice.

"Dean" She said faintly. She opened her eyes as much as she could and noticed the chair was still pinned to the door. With all the strength she could muster up, she flicked her hand and the chair moved. The moment it did Sam and Dean burst through the door. Dean ran over to Katie, while Sam ran to attack the demon.

"Katie." Dean said grabbing Katie's hand. She lifted her eyes to meet his. " Katie. You alright. Say something"

"Go. You have to destroy the orb on his cane" Katie said faintly. Dean looked over to see the cane lying on the floor. He walked over to grab it just as Sam was tossed into the wall.

"I don't think so." The Gramlock said before reaching out a hand and causing the cane to fly back to his hand. " Well if it isn't the Winchester brothers. I've heard a lot about you two. I think I will take pleasure in killing you two."

"Ok. " Dean said pulling a gun from behind him. "Well sorry to mess up your plans, but you see that's not gonna happen"

"Ha-ha. Really a gun c'mon where's your imagination." The demon said laughing. " I can do better. Weren't you suffering from some sort of ailment?" the demon pointed the orb of his cane toward Dean. Dean's eyes seemed to roll back in his head before he collapse unconscious to the floor.

"Dean!" Sam said moving over to his brother. "No" Sam looked up to the demon before standing to his feet. "You bastard!" Without another word Sam ran, tackling the demon to the ground knocking his cane from his hand. It landed just a few feet in front of Katie. She opened her eyes when the thump of the cane sounded. She used all the strength she could to crawl over to the cane. The moment she grabbed the orb in her hands the fighting stopped as the demon looked over to her, his cockiness now replaced with fear.

"No" the demon pleaded. "Don't, Please"

"Sorry." Katie crushed the orb with her bare hands causing her hand to bleed. The Gramlock's eyes began to blink white and black and then a grayish black some came from its mouth and disappeared. The demon lay lifeless on the floor.

Katie looked over to Dean's still form and crawled over to him. She pressed her ear to his chest and was glad there was still a heart beat.

"Dean" Katie said shaking him a bit hoping to jolt him awake. He didn't respond. "Dean, please, come back!" she brought her face inches away from his. "Please" still nothing. She shook her head before looking over to Sam who seemed shocked still looking over to his brother. "Sam, c'mon!"

Dean lay in the hospital bed still unconscious. Its silent. The only sound that can be heard is the beeping from the hospital machines. Sam and Katie sit quietly.

It was the third time they'd been in the hospital and each time they were filled with uncertainty. This time was no different. After she and Sam were checked out, they were finally allowed to sit with Dean. The doctors still couldn't understand why he wasn't waking up. Sam and Katie were both relieved that there were no issues with his heart, but something was wrong and they didn't know what.

"I can't do this" Sam said and Katie looked over to him. "I can't just watch him like this" he stood to his feet before looking over to Katie. "I'm going to go for a walk" Sam headed for the door.

"You can't give up hope" Katie said and Sam stopped. "We just have to have faith" Sam simply nodded before leaving.

Katie turned back to Dean's unconscious body. She reached forward and took his hand in hers and smiled. He looked so peaceful, like he was sleeping. It was now that she finally admitted to herself the truth she wished wasn't the truth.

"You know when I first met you" Katie said her voice filled with an emotion she tried her best to keep inside. "I thought—" she chuckled. "I thought you were the biggest jerk I'd ever met" she shook her head. "I mean you were always such and impossible jerk" she brought his hand to her lips and pressed a soft kiss to his knuckled. "And then you actually, you started to grow on me you son of a bitch" she sighed. "And then day after day it became easier to tolerate the mess that you are" she closed her eyes and dropped her head on his arm feeling the tears in her eyes. She lifted her head. "And then do you know what happened?" she smiled. "Somehow, someway I fell in love with your self-centered, misogynistic ass" she chuckled again. "How does that even happen?" she looked back up to his face and couldn't explain the need to see his green eyes looking back over to her. "I don't know, but it did and I've never felt like this about anyone before, so I have to believe that there is a reason" she wipe away her tear stained cheeks. "I don't think it's supposed to end like this Dean" she pressed another kiss to his hand. "I don't—" there was knock on the door and Katie let go of Dean's hand and stood to her feet turning to see Layla standing there.

"Hi I'm sorry to bother you" Layla said walking inside. "I just came to see how he was doing" Layla walked to stand on the other side of Dean's bed.

"He''s-" Katie was cut off by moaning. Moaning that came from the man laying down in front of her. She quickly looked at Dean whose eyes fluttered open.

"Dean, Oh my god." Katie said smiling down to him. " You're awake"

"What you didn't think you were gonna get rid of me that easy, did you?" Dean said looking over to her before noticing the other woman in the room.

"Layla" Dean said looking over to the woman. Katie followed his eyes and suddenly felt her heart sank. "Your dad?"

"He's fine." Layla said with a smiled. " He's a little shaken up but he'll live. He told me to come and thank you. He didn't quite tell me for what, but thank you for whatever you did." Katie watched as the woman looked down and took his hand and suddenly she felt her heart shattering.

"I'm gonna go find Sam." Katie said and Dean looked over to her. "He's gonna want to know you're awake" she turned without waiting for a response and just left. She walked down the halls before stopping and pressing her back against the wall finally letting the tears fall freely. She hated feeling like this, opening herself in a way she promised she'd never do again. The outcome was always the same, her being left with her heart broken.

"What's up is something wrong?" Sam asked startling Katie. She shook her head and just smiled.

"No. Nothing is wrong. Everything is great." She said. "He's awake and he seems to be feeling better. Go in and see him. I'm gonna go get the doctor" Katie said before walking to the doctor who was at the end of the hall.

Sam quickly walked down the hall to his brother's room, but stopped when he saw that his brother wasn't alone. Sam looked back down the hall to see the doctor walking his way, while Katie was moving in the opposite direction. Sam turned back to his brother and sighed before walking in.

Katie stepped inside the elevator relieved that it was empty. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall.

"Where are you going" Gabe said appearing from nowhere.

"I can't do this anymore" Katie said coldly opening her eyes and to the angel.

"What do you mean?" Gabe asked as the doors slid open. Katie walked out and he followed behind her. "You have to"

"No I don't." Katie said once they walked outside. "Find somebody else. I'm done" she continued walking.

"There is nobody else!" Gabe called after her but she didn't stop. "Only you can get them play their parts" Katie stopped in her tracks and turned back to the angel.

"There parts?" Katie asked confused. "What does that mean?"

"Nothing." Gabe replied quickly.

"No its not nothing." Katie replied walking over to the angel. "What parts are Sam and Dean supposed to play?" he remained quiet. "Is that what all of this has been about, me being here with them, protecting them for their destinies" she shook her head. "You thought I could help you manipulate them to do what you wanted them to do?"

"Fine." the angel said throwing his hands in the air in frustration. "You caught me. But you will do it!"

"No I will not" Katie replied. "I would die before I let that happen. And for you to manipulate me, what kind of angel are you?"

"The kind that wants to survive." Gabe said and Katie's eyes went wide. She thought she knew him, but the truth was she really didn't. "Whether you help or not, they will say yes, I promise you" And with that he was gone.

Katie stood there alone. She could leave no matter how far she needed to get away from Dean and these feelings she didn't want to have. The truth was Sam and Dean we're just the target for demons, now angels were thrown in the mix. Katie knew what she had to do. She had to suck it up, be strong, and get over whatever she felt for Dean. She was the only one who knew what was going on, so naturally it was her who could keep them safe.

"Son of a bitch" Katie muttered to herself before turning and heading back to the hospital.
