Julie woke up early in the morning to a screeching, ear piercing sound. She sat up holding her ears and then her windows broke. The sound stopped and Julie looked at the windows, well what were her windows. She got out of bed and looked around to see every window in her apartment building was broken. "Shit." Julie walked to the bathroom and looked at herself. Her bangs were cut and her hair was darker. She was tanner now, since she's been living in California. Away from Bobby and Sam. She couldn't live with Sam anymore. Every time she looked at him, she saw Dean. She had to get out. Now, she had to get out of this apartment. They'll come, she knows they will. A hunter will come. No one is going to believe that everyone's windows just randomly broke. They're going to know something demonic happened here.
For the past four months, Julie has been hunting but been undercover. She didn't want anyone finding her and the hunting she's been doing was little things. But the case she is working on now is not so little. She is going after something big, something that hurts people from the inside out. Making them feel their worst pain they ever felt and kill them.
Julie quickly grabbed a pair of sweatpants and put them on. She walked to her closet and grabbed all her duffel bags. She through her bags on her bed and opened her dresser throwing all her clothes in the bags. She walked to the bathroom and threw everything in one of the bags. She grabbed all her bags and looked around her apartment wondering if she forgot anything. She walked out the door and ran down the stairs. She got to her car and opened the trunk throwing everything in. She slammed the trunk shut and got into her car. She looked on the dashboard and saw the picture of her and Dean. She took a deep breath and started the car.

Dean and Bobby walked up to the motel room Sam was staying in and knocked. They waited until a girl opened the door.
"So, where is it?" she asked.
Dean looked at Bobby then at her. "Where's what?"
"The pizza, the one that takes two guys to deliver."
"Hey, is that the…" said Sam coming into the room. He looked and saw Dean and Bobby standing there.
"Hey Sammy," said Dean. Dean and Bobby walked into the room.
"Dean?" he asked and then went for a knife. The girl screamed and Bobby grabbed Sam.
"No, Sam. It's him, it's really him. I've been through this. It's him." Sam stopped struggling in Bobby's arms and looked at Dean. Bobby let go and Sam walked over to Dean and they hugged. The brother hug that they have never shared in each other's lives.
"So are you two like, together?" asked the girl.
"What?" he asked and looked at Dean and the girl. "No, he's my brother."
"Oh, oh, then I think I should probably go."
"Yeah, right."
After the girl left, Sam got dressed. Sam walked to a chair in the living room. "So how much was it?"
"The girl?" asked Sam. "I don't pay for girls Dean."
"No I mean to get me out."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb. What your soul, or something else?"
"I didn't do anything, I wish I would have."
That's when Dean noticed, Julie was nowhere in Sam's motel room. "Where's Julie?"
Sam looked up at Dean and let out a deep breath. "I don't know how to tell you this Dean…"
"Wait, wait," Dean said, "She's ok right? She's not…"
"No, no, from what I think, no she's ok. Julie left a few months ago. She said she couldn't take looking at me…I reminded her of you."
"Sammy, I wanted you to watch her. I wanted both of you to watch her!" Dean was freaking out now. "How long has it been since one of you has been in contact with her?"
"I've been trying to call her," said Sam. "But she turned off all her numbers."
Dean looked at Bobby and he shrugged shaking his head. "Great," said Dean and he laughed. "This is just great. For all we know she could be dead."
"She's not dead," said Bobby. "She's a strong girl; she knows how to stay alive. She's been doing it since she was five."
"How are we going to find her?"
"First things first, we need to find out who pulled you out of the pit," said Bobby.
SUPERNATURAL
Julie turned into the driveway of the hunter that had the answers to the hunt she was working on. She got out of the car and walked up to the door. She rung the doorbell and looked up to see two cameras staring at her and a light blasted on her. The door opened and a tall man with dark brown hair opened the door.
"Julie Winchester?" he asked.
"Andrew Tress," she said.
Andrew opened the door and let her in. He led her into his study in the back of the room. He went behind his desk and opened a drawer. He pulled out a folder full of papers and handed it to her.
"This all it?" she asked and looked at him.
"All there. Are you sure you want to go up against this thing? I mean a young girl all by herself shouldn't be going after something this dangerous." Andrew lit a cigarette and blew out some smoke.
Julie smirked. "Don't worry; I know what I'm doing. Thanks." She turned on her heel and walked down the hall and out the door.
Andrew watched as she left and closed the door behind her. He picked up the phone and dialed the number that was left on his answer machine. "Bobby, Tress…yeah, good. I found her…yeah, she came here."
Bobby hung up the phone with Andrew Tress and walked into the house from the junkyard. He found Sam and Dean looking over a few books about Angels. "Guys, we found her."
"Julie?" asked Dean standing up and knocking over some books.
"Yeah, I put a search out for her a couple days ago. Seems she's going after something really big."
"What do you mean?" asked Dean. "A hunt? She's still hunting?"
"Looks that way, she's going after something called 'The Sorrows'."
"Never heard of it," said Dean and looked at Sam.
"Sorrows are ancient beings that live on sorrow and pain from humans. They make humans relive their most painful memories. They have the appearance of what normal people would think the reaper would look like. Long dark robe over the face and a black hole in the robe, the whole thing except without the sty. "
"And Julie's going after these things?" asked Dean.
"That doesn't sound like Julie," said Sam.
"No, but she's probably hunting to get things off her mind," said Bobby.
"Meaning my death," said Dean and he shook his head. He whipped his face with his hand and then stopped in mid movement. He looked Bobby right in the face. "If she goes after these things and screws up, she's going to be reliving my death over and over again until they drain her?!" Bobby nodded. "Shit." Dean grabbed his coat and Sam followed. "Where is she going?"
"Tress doesn't know, but Tress right outside of Chicago."
"Not too far from here," said Sam.
"Let's go, no time to talk," said Dean and he was out the door.
SUPERNATURAL
Julie walked into the warehouse where she researched the Sorrow was at. All she had to do was open the roof of the warehouse, open the windows and get the sunlight onto it. It couldn't be that hard, right? She turned around hearing a noise behind her and took out her gun. She knew her gun wouldn't do anything to a Sorrow but just in case. She just kept walking straight and then found the stairs. She walked up the stairs and looked around. How the hell would she open that roof? She walked straight again and saw the Sorrow. She quickly hid behind a couple crates and then peered over the crate. There it was, all black and robe looking like the file said. Julie looked around to try and find a way to get around the Sorrow to open all the windows. She went to move when she heard something behind her. She turned quickly to see another one staring straight at her, well as much as she could see. She turned around and went to run when she felt herself fall to her knees feeling her heart ache in pain. "No…" She didn't think there were two Sorrows' they usually travel alone. At least that's what the file said. Julie tried to crawl away but found herself wrapping her arms around her chest and crying out loud.
She put her hand on her heart and felt the pain. "No…no…" She felt the tears falling down her cheeks. She started seeing glimpses of Dean ripped to pieces and burying him. "Dean…no…please…stop…" She felt her energy being pulled out of her. She fell backwards and laid there fading in and out. She saw the Sorrows taking her energy and life out of her.
"Hey!" yelled a voice. She couldn't recognize it but something was telling her that she knew it. "Why don't you suck on some light!" Julie saw a bright light go throughout the whole top of the warehouse. There was a high pitch scream and the Sorrows evaporated. Julie started hypervenalating, she couldn't breathe. She heard footsteps running towards her. "Julie!" The voices they seemed so familiar. She felt hands on her arms and she opened her eyes. There were two blurry figures in front of her. They looked like they were arguing.
"No, Sam! No!" yelled someone.
Julie wanted to say Sam. Was it Sam Winchester? She reached up and touched the one figure. "Julie, I need you to calm down," the figure said. "The Sorrows took a lot of your energy, come on, breath. Breath Julie!"
She felt her breathing was still coming out in raspy gasps. She felt her breathing stop for a moment and the two figures yelling. She closed her eyes and blacked out.
"Julie!" yelled Dean as he saw her breathing stop. "No, don't do this. Julie!" Then all of a sudden her breathing came back and she was coughing. She was still unconscious and Dean picked her up and held her into his arms.
"She's going to be ok Dean," said Sam. "Her breathing has calmed down." He looked at Dean and saw how weak and defenseless he was. He just came out of hell and almost lost Julie, his wife before he could see her again. Dean stood up and carried her bridal style towards the Impala. "We'll take her to Bobby's," said Sam. "She'll be ok there, but you have to stay hidden until we tell her the truth. You can't just come out of the shadows and be like 'hey, sweets, I'm back.'"
"Why not?"
"Well for one she just had the life almost sucked out of her and two she still isn't over your death. She is going to be very unstable."
SUPERNATURAL
Julie opened her eyes to see a familiar bedroom. She looked around and realized she was at Bobby's. So after all these months, they found her. They couldn't have picked a better time, she almost died. Julie got out of the bed and scratched her head. She opened the door and walked out. She smelled the familiar smell of Bobby throughout the house and smiled a little. She walked to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like she was ran over by a pickup truck. She quickly washed her face and ran her fingers down her hair.
After she was done in the bathroom she walked down the stairs to hear hushed voices arguing. They stopped when she hit the creak on the steps. She followed the voices towards the kitchen. When she walked through the threshold she saw Sam and Bobby. Bobby cleared his throat and Sam turned around. He smiled and she smiled back at him. They walked towards each other and hugged one another.
"It's so good to see you," he said and hugged her tightly. "We all thought you were dead."
Julie laughed nervously and they let go. Bobby came up to her and hugged her. "You are a moron you know that?" he asked. They let go and he said, "What were you thinking going after Sorrows alone?"
"I thought there was only one…"
"That's no excuse," said Bobby. "That was suicide! Those things are dangerous! With the state you are in…"
Julie laughed and didn't notice the tears building up in her eyes. "State that I am in? Bobby, what state am I in?!" Both men looked at her and she knew right away. "Oh, let me guess, this has to do with Dean. You think I'm unstable because of his death?!"
"Julie we all took it hard, we are all going through the same thing," said Sam. "It would help if we did it together."
"Look who's talking! Last thing I heard no one could get a hold of you. So how have things been Sam? Huh, getting along with any demons lately?!"
"That's enough!" yelled a familiar voice behind her. She turned around and saw Dean, well something that looked like Dean, because it couldn't be him. Dean is dead. "God, I die and all hell breaks loose, no pun intended!"
Julie couldn't take her eyes off of him. Dean looked at Bobby and Sam and then straight at Julie. He started walking towards her and she backed up a little into Bobby's table. She felt around the table for something, anything. She found a knife and quickly grabbed it. She ran to him but Bobby grabbed her.
"It's him Julie!" yelled Bobby.
She felt the tears fall down her cheeks as she struggled against him. Bobby bent the knife out of her hand and she was shaking her head. "No, no, Deans dead. I saw him. I saw him laying there on the floor!" She cried and just let herself fall to the ground. She saw Deans dirty boots walk towards her. She started shaking back and forth. "No, he's gone! Deans gone! He-he died! There was so much blood…oh jeez there was so much blood, just everywhere. And his eyes, Deans eyes they were wide open and he just looked so…" She felt a hand on her face and felt someone lift it up. Dean was kneeling on the floor and looked at her.
"Baby, it's me. It's really me," he said and he started whipping the tears away with his thumb.
"What are their names?" she asked and watched as he looked into her eyes. "Their names, Dean is the only one that knows the children's names other than me. What are their names?"
Dean smiled. "Hunter Robert, Samuel Dean and Mary Angela Winchester." Julie started crying more when he answered and wrapped her arms around him.
"I can't believe it," said whispered in his ear. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and looked up at Bobby and Sam and nodded his head for them to give them some privacy. They nodded and snuck quietly out. "Dean, how did you make it out? There's no possible way." She let go and they both looked at each other. She touched his face with both her hands. His face was so soft, she's been dreaming of the day she would see him again. She just wanted to be next to him.
"That's a long story," he said and he continued to wipe her tears away. "You're even more beautiful than I remember." He leaned over and kissed her gently. Her heart fluttered remembering the taste of him. This was Dean. Her Dean was back. He let go and looked at her. "It was an angel."
"An angel? An angel saved you from the pit?" she asked. She never heard of anyone seeing or ever talking to an angel before.
"Yeah, I was just as negative about it too."
"I don't care how you got it, as long as you're out and here." She hugged him and he put her on his lap. "You don't know how hard it has been for us, for me. I had to leave Sam to get away. I couldn't even look at him because all I saw was you in his eyes." He kissed her cheek and then kissed her earlobe. He kissed her cheek again and then kissed her lips. She kissed him back. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too baby," he said and he leaned his head on hers and held her tightly. He was afraid all of this was a dream. That all of this would go away in just seconds. He just needed to hold her in his arms. He was never going to leave her again, never going to leave any of them again.
