"It's freezing in here," Ella said looking up from whatever file she was reading from. But if you were there you wouldn't have heard her very well because Dean started talking over her.
"Well we've been here forever and frankly, I'm starving," Dean stood and put his hand on the handle readying to leave.
"But what about the case?" Sam objected sitting next to Ella at the dented metal table set up in the room.
"Hey now that you've got your girlfriend here to help you don't need my help anymore," Dean left and slammed the for behind him leaving an annoyed Sam and distraught Ella behind.
"Don't worry Ella," Sam said gently, "He'll come around eventually,"
"But what if he doesn't?" Ella asked, "I dropped everything I had to come with you guys. And besides I can't stand the thought of leaving and I don't understand and it's just so frustrating!"
"Look. He's just upset that you were able to fake a case for us is all," Sam put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "He'll get it over it,"
"Yeah I guess," Ella grunted, suddenly standing, "I'm going to get some air real quick. Be back in a flash,"
As Ella walked out of the library into the warm April air she thought all about how she came to be with the boys and felt regret brewing in her stomach. After they left Ella had started feeling very down. She got bored and slept most of her days. She was in trouble of losing her job at the bar when her best friend Madi decided to confront her.
"Look Ella," Madi barged into her friend's room not bothering to knock, "I know you're not just 'tired'. Something is wrong! Something about those guys last month is making you depressed. And I'm not going to stand by and let it happen!"
"You're right," Ella sat up from her laying position on her bed and looked at Madi, "Madi something is wrong. I feel so bored and sad. I can't help it. It's something about Sam. What do I do?"
"Call them. Tell them to come get you or something," Madi suggested sitting next to her friend, "Or I don't know find them?"
"They wouldn't just come and get me," Ella complained, "And I don't know how to find them!"
"Okay well then. It's time to put 'Project Ella's Boyfriend' into action!" Madi exclaimed, hauling Ella, bedhead and all, off the bed.
"Shut up Madi," Ella giggled, following her friend. Two hours later the two had effectively devised a plan to get the Winchester brothers to them. On the next full moon they paid a random teenager fifty dollars to go 'missing' for three days. Next step was to call animal control and say they saw a 'big hairy wolf-like man' take the kid. And last was to wait. It worked. On the third day Sam and Dean caught wind of it and made their way to upstate New York, where Ella and Madi would be waiting for them at the city limits.
"Is that Ella?" Sam pointed to the figure sitting on a crumbling brick wall. They pulled over and Sam walked over to her to 'go get your girlfriend' using Dean's words, "Uh, hey Ella,"
"Shut up," Ella pulled on the tie from Sam's suit and pulled him down to her for a kiss. They stood there wrapped in each other for who knows how long before Dean interrupted them.
"As much as I love being able to blackmail my little brother about his excitement to see you, we gotta go. We have a case.
"Nope," Ella shook her head, still holding onto Sam's crumpled tie, "It was fake. It was all me and my friend. We paid some kid to disappear. He's at the police station now actually,"
"Why'd you do that?" Sam asked, fixing his released tie.
"She's coming with you," Madi declared, "She was all depressed and stuff without you,"
"No she's not," Dean yelled. Madi and Dean quickly found themselves in an argument as Ella and Sam talked quietly.
"Can I come with you Sam?" Ella asked, looking up at him with hopeful eyes.
"Look, I would love if you could come but it's too dangerous and Dean would never allow it," Sam explained, feeling himself sadden with having to leave Ella again.
"You don't know if it's too dangerous for me or not! And I'll promise to keep out of harms way. And we're our own people. He can't decide everything for you,"
"I know it's insanely stupid to do this but okay," Sam smiled widely and pulled Ella into their fifth kiss. And eventually Dean begrudgingly agreed but he gave Ella the cold shoulder after that.
"I shouldn't have done this," Ella scolded herself, "This is so stupid! I only knew Sam a day and I've run away with him! What the hell is wrong with me!"
"You can't leave," Dean came up behind her carrying a bag of food with him.
"I'm not planning on it," Ella said quietly, defensively.
"Good, 'cause it would break Sammy's heart," Dean gruffed, walking into the Library.
"It would break mine to," Ella retorted, expecting one of the usual sarcastic replies she'd been getting, but instead all Dean did was smile at her.
"You can't eat in there!" The lanky boy behind the desk scolded 'Scully'.
"I'll get him," Ella smiled at Dean before opening the door, "Sam! Food!"
And after that moment the three of them grew closer together until they considered each other family. Ella kept her promise and stayed out of harms way (sometimes) and the boys kept doing their jobs and for a short period they were happy. But of course the Winchesters and anyone with them could never be happy.
"Sammy!" Dean exclaimed one day as Sam and Ella walked through the motel door of Dean's room, "I have a way to get your soul back!"
"Right I keep forgetting my boyfriend doesn't have a soul," Ella murmured, sitting on the side of the bed.
"What is it?" Sam asked, glancing at Ella worriedly. He was constantly feeling guilty for bringing her into the life.
"Just a spell," Dean said, but he was lying. What he was really planning on doing was making a deal with Death. That's right Death, as in the four horsemen. The Death.
"Cool," Sam nodded, ever since he found Ella he realized he needed his soul back, "What do we need?"
"Leave that part up to me," Dean smiled, he was desperate.
