Soo… Second update today, making up for the extremely long wait I had last time. Review for me, darlings! Thanks so much!

"She's been in there for a long time," Dean said.

"Yeah…but," Sam shrugged, not knowing what to say.

"You think she's okay?" Dean asked.

"Dean, she's seventeen, she's been kidnapped, we took her, and then her brother died. Do you think she's okay?" Sam asked.

"Fine, she's not okay," Dean huffed.

"Would you two stop bickering, what are we going to do with that girl?" Bobby asked.

"She is still not safe, you will need to keep her," Castiel said.

"Cas, I don't know if she's even going to want to stick around," Sam said.

"She has no choice, she will die if she leaves, and we cannot allow that."

"Of course we can't," Dean mumbled.

Sydney's Point of View

I stood up and tore off my clothes. I started scrubbing my body, trying to get the blood off of me, and when it wouldn't, I wanted to cry so badly, but I wouldn't let myself. I leaned against the shower wall as the water started to run cold, and lightly banged my head against the hard material. I ended up pulling a towel into the shower with me and rubbing with more fever to get the blood off.

When I was as clean as possible, I shut off the water, and got out. I pulled a different towel around myself and walked out into the main room. Four pairs of eyes landed on me and I went to the bed closest to the bathroom door. I let my towel drop and I slipped under the covers, I could have cared less at the moment if they were going to kill me.

When I woke up I realized I was naked, my first reaction was to get angry, but I realized it was all me. I sat up and pulled the comforter with me. Only three pairs of eyes were looking at me then, and I looked down at my lap and stated, "My clothes are ruined."

There was rustling and then someone handed me clothes. I pulled the t-shirt over my head and then the boxers. I pushed the blanket off me and looked at everyone who seemed to be waiting for me to do something. I sighed and said, "Where did the other one go?"

"He had to run an errand," Bobby said.

I nodded slowly and said, "I'll have to…we'll need to…how do we give Rob to my mom?"

"Well, uh, Cas was going to—"

I nodded again, not wanting to know what he was going to do. The silence was thick and I couldn't put it upon myself to break it. I pulled a pillow on to my lap and my stomach gave a weird gurgling sound, and the silence was broken by Dean saying he was going to get food and he was gone. Then there was Sam and Bobby left.

I looked at them and then back down at my hands. I folded my hands together and the room was quiet for thirty minutes and then Dean walked into the room with coffee and a box. I watched him set it down and he looked over at me.

I looked up at him and he asked, "Do you want anything?"

I shook my head and sank down further in the bed. I rested my head on the pillow behind me and looked up at the ceiling. Castiel's signature sound of appearance filled the room, and I didn't look. They started whispering and I didn't try to listen. It must have been an hour before I sat up in the bed. I looked at the men in the room and couldn't bring myself to care that I could possibly be in danger. I lie back down in bed, and fell asleep into fitful dreams.

I'm not sure how much time passed, but when I woke up, I had to stretch my legs. I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed and went over to the table. I sat down in one of the vacated chairs and looked at the four. Castiel was standing, Sam was at the other bed on his laptop, and Dean and Bobby sat next to me at the table. I rested my arms on the table and leaned my head down on my folded arms.

I watched as everyone went back to what they were doing. Sam slowly looked back down to his computer screen, Dean and Bobby both looked back down at their books at the same time, and Castiel went back to staring off into space. It was awhile before Castiel left without warning, Dean looked slightly angry, and I knew I should have been too, but I wasn't.

I finally stood up and went to the bathroom. When I was coming back out, I heard Dean say, "I think I liked her better when she was talking nonstop."

I walked back into the main room and carelessly padded over to the bed again. I sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at the floor. I was getting lost in the awful sounds Rob had made when he was… I took a deep breath and tried to make myself wake up out of the dead fog I was in. It was at least five minutes before I pushed up from the bed. I drug myself over to the table once again, and sat down.

I looked at Dean, then Bobby, and then at Sam, who was sitting at the only other available chair at the table. I looked at the two books in front of Bobby, and one of them was in a different language. Dean's book was simpler, and had pictures, and Sam…I couldn't see the computer screen, but he seemed really intent on reading the rest of the page before breathing again.

Castiel reappeared again and Dean looked over at him, "You know anything?"

"The angels would like to speak with her," Castiel said.

I blinked slowly and let my head drop down to the table. I heaved a sigh and a few moments later, I wasn't in the motel room anymore. When I looked up, Castiel and I were the only ones in the room. I swallowed loudly and before he could say anything, a different person appeared.

It was a woman; she was about my height, red hair to her mid back, and very pretty eyes. I looked at her and she said, "Sydney, I am—"

A different person appeared then, a tall man with hard eyes and he snapped, "What are you doing here, Rachael?"

"Talking to the—"

"You don't have permission," he barked, and with a wave of his hand she was gone.

I looked up at him and he said, "Now, you will tell me how you are doing these things."

I blinked at him and normally I would have had a snappy attitude to rival his, but instead I shrugged and said, "I don't know."

"Yes you do, tell me," he demanded, taking a step towards me.

I heaved a sigh and wished someone would come help me out. Preferably someone who would actually do something to make this man stop yelling at me. And mid-thought, Dean and Sam were standing in front of me. I actually had to lean backward, because Dean's jean pockets were in my face.

I blinked up at them and when they turned around and saw me, they backed up slightly. "How…what…um, Cas?" Sam stuttered.

"This was not my doing," he said from the corner of the room.

"What are you two doing here?" the snappy man asked.

"Well…uh…we figured we'd just…pop in," Dean shrugged with a half smirk on his face.

I smiled slightly at his joke, and the man said, "Get out of here," he waved his hand, but my stomach clenched and they didn't move.

"Wha—" he waved again, and they still didn't move.

"Fine, if you won't leave, move out of the way. I am speaking to her," the man said rudely.

Sam and Dean sidestepped out of my view and the man said, "Now tell me."

"I don't know," I repeated tiredly.

He took another step towards me with his hand held up in front of him and before he could say anything Dean said, "Whoa, man, take it easy, she's just a kid."

"She must be a demon if she can do what I've heard she can, and I will kill her," the man said.

That sort of jolted me from my foggy mind and I stood up in the chair. I hopped over the arm of it and crawled behind it. I leaned back and closed my eyes tightly while praying the man would go away. A few seconds later wings fluttered and a deep menacing voice was saying, "If you do not step away from the girl, I will kill you."

There was a lot of wind changing and then Dean was saying, "Who are you?"

"Dean, this is Sydney's guardian, Daniel," Castiel said.

I took it upon myself then to lean up on my knees and peek over the head of the chair. I saw Castiel still in the corner of the room, Sam and Dean were still basically in front of the chair, Snappy-Man was staring dumbfounded at Daniel, and Daniel was standing extremely close to Snappy-Man.

Suddenly, Daniel looked at me with a smile and said, "His name is Logan, but he is 'snappy'." He even did the cute quotations around 'snappy'.

I liked Daniel, he was…level headed, or…he just seemed so familiar, like family. "We have met before; you could say we are family. I have watched over many before you in your blood," he said.

I smiled slightly and kind of liked the thought that he could read my mind. I frowned then and wondered why if he was supposed to be watching over me, why would he let Rob die. "I was not assigned to Robert, he was to be watched by my sister, but she had been killed," Daniel said quietly.

"I'm so sorry," I said.

He smiled sadly and said, "I am in the same boat as you, it seems, the angels will not allow me to see my sister until they are sure you are safe."

I shook my head and slowly stood up from behind the chair. Snappy-Man looked at me, and then at Daniel, before saying, "I will leave."

He was gone then and Dean said, "Wait, you're a guardian…like a guardian angel?"

"Yes, exactly, it is my job to watch over my charge, and I have done so for many years. We have been waiting for Sydney for more than a few centuries," Daniel said, and started walking towards me.

He leaned towards me when he was in front of me and pushed hair behind my ear and said, "You look just like Eliza."

"Eliza?" I asked.

"She is far back in your blood, she was not my first assignment in your blood, but she was the most beautiful," he breathed.

"Thank you?"

"You are welcome," he said, and turned back to everyone else, taking a step back from me. "I am Daniel; I have watched Sydney's family since I started as a guardian. We have been waiting for Sydney to be born."

"So you guys just knew that Sydney was going to be born?" Sam asked.

"We knew that a daughter would be born from the blood of her great ancestors. The daughter who held many gifts would solve many a crisis here on Earth, down in Hell, and above in Heaven," he explained.

"But how do you know it's me?" I asked quietly.

"I believe it is obvious, just with a simple thought you had these two here in a blink of an eye," he said with a large smile.

"You wanted us here? I thought you didn't think we were safe," Dean asked.

I looked over at him and then back at Daniel. "I still…"

"I know, it is much to understand, and especially after your lost, but…you must know, for your powers to fully take place, you had to experience the greatest pain," he said, I could almost hear him frowning even though I wasn't looking at him.

"You guys killed my brother on purpose?" I asked.

"Of course not, you must not understand. Let me explain, but you should sit down, first," he said.

My head was swimming, I sat down in the chair and then we were back in the motel. Everyone was seated around the table, expect for Castiel. Daniel looked at me from across the table and said, "When the higher ups informed me that your brother would be killed, I was devastated. My sister was linked to your brother, for your brother to be killed, and not die from old age as your other ancestors, would kill her also. And then, when you feel pain, physical or emotional, I feel it also, that is partly why it is important for us to protect you."

"So our siblings died because angels want me to solve some problem somewhere?" I asked.

"Correct."

"Then why am I with these two?" I asked, indicating Sam and Dean.

"They are to protect you from harm," he said.

"But that's what you're for," I said confused.

"You are correct again, but for me to come here to Earth and watch you, it takes a great deal of power. I am only supposed to come when you need healed, these two are supposed to keep the danger away," he explained.

"Do we get a say in this?" Dean asked.

"Of course, if you choose not to help, then you die," he said calmly.

Castiel tensed then, and I said, "If you killed them you'd put emotional pain on me."

Daniel looked at me then and he gazed at me for a few moments before saying, "You care about them? Why? You just met them."

"Robbie believed in them, it's the least I can do…to protect them if I can, and keep them alive if I can, I mean."

"I see…then you won't die, but I'm sure you can see the wrong in leaving a seventeen year old alone in the world when you can take care of her, correct?" he directed the question to the two.

"I'm not alone in the world, my mom is still alive," I pointed out.

He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You are correct, she is still alive, for now."

"What…what does…huh?" my eyes widened.

"You're blood line is dying fast, you will be the only one left soon," he spoke quietly.

"No…no you're…please, please say you're lying," I begged.

"One thing you should know about guardians, they don't lie," Castiel revealed, turning from the window to look at us.

"Please," I turned back to Daniel, "Don't let her die."

"It is past our work, she has been dying for years now," Daniel whispered softly.

"What? No…she would…she would tell us," I denied.

"She has an illness, she will be gone in a few weeks," Daniel's voice was hard.

I shook my head, "No, you're lying, you have to be. Please, please say you are."

"I am sorry, I know this is hard," He said.

I banged my hand on the table lightly, "I'm only seventeen, I cannot be alone when I'm seventeen."

"You are not alone, you have me, and these two…and Castiel, I think," Daniel looked over at Castiel.

"I will assist her to the best of my abilities," he said.

"That isn't what I meant, and you know it!" I exclaimed and stood up from the table.

I started to think about what he said, me thinking about wanting to be protected and Dean and Sam showing up. I decided to test it out and thought as hard as I could about a quiet place where I could be. When I blinked I was in a dark place, and when I felt around, I was pretty sure I was in a closet.

I sighed and pulled my legs up to my chest and tried to figure out what I was doing. Not three minutes later the doors (?) opened and Daniel was standing there. "You cannot leave without informing us where you are going," he informed me.

"Apparently I can," I retorted.

"That isn't what I meant, you can end up putting yourself in tricky situations, and when Castiel and I are gone, Dean and Sam will not be able to just find you," Daniel explained.

"Well…"

"There is no room for discussion," he replied.

I frowned at him and said, "Fine, take me back."

The Next Day

I was sitting on the motel bed with Sam's laptop while Dean and Sam talked to Daniel and Castiel. I was looking at a funny video about Barrack Obama, where he was singing about the economy in the beat of Blame It by Jamie Foxx. I was going to click on a different one when Daniel came over to me. He sat down next to me on the bed and said, "I have to leave now."

"You won't be missed," I huffed.

I turned the volume up higher on the laptop and tried to block out Daniel. "What makes you so angry?"

"Your presence."

"Why is that?"

I sighed and paused the video. I turned towards him and said, "You told me my mom was going to die, you pulled me out of the very comfortable closet I was in, and then you took me back to a motel. I don't think you have much room to question why I am angry at you, so…do whatever angels do."

"I am not an angel, I am a guardian," he answered quietly.

"Whatever."

"I will see you before you see me," and he was gone.

That night when Castiel had left, and Sam and Dean were sleeping, I was sitting on the motel bed in the dark. I had a pillow in my lap and I was staring at the wall across from me. The moonlight was making weird things pop out and when I was positive that the two were actually asleep, I shut my eyes and let the tears fall as they pleased.

At first I was crying because I was stuck in a motel room with two men who I hadn't known more than twenty four hours. I barely knew these men, and they were so much older than me, and stronger, and if they wanted, they could kill me easily. I could hold myself pretty well in a fair fight, but they had so much over my head…it wasn't exactly fair.

Then I was crying for Robbie. I was crying because he wouldn't get to finish college and get married, and his girlfriend, who was going to hold her hand while she cried? Robbie had so much to look forward to, he use to tell me when we were going to school that someday he'd own the world, and everyone would part like the Red Sea.

Then I was crying for my mom. I was so angry at her for not telling Robbie, me, anyone, that she was sick. We could have gotten her help; maybe she could have been saved, but two weeks… Two weeks wasn't even remotely enough time for me to be able to say goodbye to my mom. Not the one woman I had looked up to my whole life.

Then I was crying for my dad, I was wishing he'd come back and hold me, and tell me everything would be alright. I was crying because if anyone in the world, he deserved a second chance, he couldn't have been anymore of a great dad then he was. When he died in the car crash…it messed with everyone in my family, we were never the same after we lost him.

And then I was crying for myself, I was crying because I didn't know what else to do. I didn't know if I should sneak out while they were sleeping, if I should stay, if I should steal something to guard myself with… I was crying because someone told me that I had to solve a crisis in Heaven, Hell, and on Earth… I could barely handle when my friends argued, how could I solve a crisis? I was crying, and I couldn't seem to stop.

When I heard one of them stir, I tried to stop the tears, but they wouldn't. I muffled most of the sobs with the pillow, but I knew whoever was up knew I was crying. When the bed sunk down and his arm wrapped around my shoulder, I leaned into his hug. I wasn't sure which one it was, but I was thankful for the comfort. I was crying into his shirt, gripping it, and hoping to God that the other one wouldn't wake up.

I was vaguely aware he was shushing me, petting my hair, telling me everything would be alright. His words only made me cry harder, because it wouldn't be alright, I was going to mess something up…I just knew it. I was going to let everyone down, Robbie, my mom, my dad…everyone was going to get mad at me and it was going to be my entire fault.

This stage isn't going to last long, by the way. Things will get better. And…y'know, a new addition soon! (: Review, lovelies!
