Hey, Sorry I took so long to update. It's been pretty hectic lately but I have more time now:'D This chapter is named after the song by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Reviews much appreciated:']

"Where's Sam?" Dean asked loudly over the shooting.

"Upstairs." Rufus replied. Dean grabbed Lorelai's wrist and pulled her with him. She yanked it out of his gripped and followed anyway. She hated control freaks. They went upstairs and found Sam in the first door.

"It's not demons." Sam said. It's-"

"War. Yeah, we figured it out. We just need to figure out how he's doing it." Lorelai cut in as Dean cut Sam free. Lorelai thought hard.

"Wait!" She said. " Before they thought we were demons, the ring. He twisted his ring!"

"Hey, nice one Lori, You're probably right." Dean smiled at her. "The ring is the source of his power. We just need to get to him now without the town seeing us."

Lorelai, Sam and Dean went round the back of the house to make their way to the red Mustang. Dean, being the protective one always went first. He looked round the corner of the house. There were four people hiding behind a wall there, evidently making a plan of attack to the house. Dean turned to his siblings.

"Go quickly and quietly over to that car." He tilted his head to a run down car. "Only shoot if you really have to. Stay low." He whispered. He mainly based it on Lorelai. He smiled at her and quietly got over to the bush. Lorelai wasn't far behind him. Unfortunately the had noticed the movement out of the corner of their eyes and began to shoot. Lorelai panicked slightly but sense came to her. She leaped out of harms way and joined Dean behind the car. She could feel the force of the bullets pelting against the car.

"Sam! We're going to run!" Dean yelled at Sam who was still behind the house. The gunfire was far too loud for the attackers to hear their plan. Sam nodded at his older brother. Dean turned to Lorelai.

"Okay, I'll be right behind you. You remember where that Mustang was right?" Lorelai nodded at Dean. "Run to it. Anything that you can hide behind on the way go behind it. Any corners you can take to lose them, take that turning." Lorelai nodded at Dean again. Dean could see the panic in her eyes. A wave of guilt engulfed him. He immediately wished he'd took her to Bobby's. A bullet smashed through the side windows of the car, showering them with small shards of glass.

"Go!" Dean ordered her like a drill sergeant. Lorelai ran for her life. She could hear three things. Gunfire, her heart beating and the loud running footsteps of her newly-found older brothers behind her. There was an alley she was coming up to. The car was that way. This turning could lose them. She glanced behind her and Dean read her mind and nodded approval. She took the turning and hid behind some bins. She needed to breathe. Dean joined her and then Sam did too. They tried to keep their heavy breathing quiet as they heard their attackers run past the alley. Lorelai looked at Dean as if to ask if she did okay. Dean smiled at her and patted her twice on the shoulder. He looked over the bin. They were gone.

They finally got to the Mustang to see a smug horseman returning to his ride. Dean jumped him. He held held him down as Sam took out the demon-killing knife. War chuckled.

"Look, that's a sweet-looking knife. But come on. You can't kill War, Kiddos!"

"Oh, we know." Sam replied and he grabbed War's hand, slammed it down on the bonnet of the Red Mustang and swiftly cut off his ring finger. The ring fell to the ground. War grunted in pain and disappeared. Lorelai stared at the spot where the car and War had been. Both had gone. Dean picked up the bloody ring as Sam wiped blood off his face.

"What? Where the hell has he gone? Is he dead?"Lorelai asked them.

"Hopefully." Sam simply replied. "Come on, lets go say bye to Ellen and Rufus."

"See you around." Rufus said simply and drove off. 'That was an odd goodbye' Lorelai thought. Lorelai looked at Dean with a confused look on her face. When in doubt, turn to Dean she had decided. He shrugged at her.

"Nice job." Ellen said to the Winchester siblings. She turned to Lorelai. "You got a cell phone?" She asked her. Lorelai got her iPhone out of her pocket. Ellen typed in her number and gave it back. "Promise you'll call me if you need me." She said. Lorelai nodded. Ellen pulled her into a hug.

"Make sure you never let these idiots get you never let these idiots get you killed. The world's got a lot scarier recently and trouble follows you Winchesters." Lorelai had never felt so much motherly affection. And from someone she'd only just met. She swallowed back tears and broke from the hug.

"I promise I'll be careful." She replied to Ellen. Ellen patted Lorelai's cheek lightly and smiled at her. She turned and gave the boys a hug.

"Promise you'll actually remember to call me this time. Weekly. I want to know everything that happens in your lives." They both nodded at her.

"Come on, Joanna Beth, we're leaving." Ellen and Jo got into their car and turned on the engine. Jo smiled at them and nodded goodbye. They drove off.

On the car journey back to Sioux Falls, Sam had requested that they made a stop and for Lorelai to wait in the car. Lorelai turned up the ACDC cassette and laid across the back seats. Her back hurt. She could really do with a deep tissue back massage right now. She analyzed her thoughts in her head about her new life. Part of it thought this new lifestyle was awesome. Another part thought that this wasn't good at all. One part thought that this was all a dream. Really she's in some sort of coma and when she wakes up she'll be in hospital with Julie and Nick at her bedside. No. It's way too real. This wasn't the only thing that was swirling about in her head. She wanted a mother like Ellen. Even when she was adopted by Julie she never got that affection. She was only really ignored. Julie wanted a child, not a teenager but children grow up. Lorelai always felt like she was just there as something to decorate the picture of a perfect home life with. Even with Sam and Dean she knew they didn't feel the same way with her as they did with each other. That upset her a bit. She just wanted to find her place and fit in but they had known each other all there lives and she had just come into the picture. She should expect no less and she knew that. She mentally told herself of for being such a stroppy child. This was the most family she had for as long as she could remember. She wasn't going to ruin that by bitching and moaning. She shut out her thoughts and hummed along with the music. An arm came through the window and grabbed Sam's bags. She grabbed the arm out of impulse and looked up. Sam looked at her sadly.

"Aw, come on. Again?" Lorelai asked him, getting out of the car.

"I'm going for good this time."

"Are you guys even going to tell me what's going on?"

"Try and get it out of Dean. I'm sorry, I don't think I can explain right now." Lorelai wrapped her arms around Sam.

"Be careful, Sam." She said sadly.

"You too. Keep reading through your mom's journal. She has some helpful stuff in there."

"I will." Lorelai promised. Sam smiled and walked away down the mountain road.

Lorelai sighed. She walked over to the park bench where Dean was sitting and patted him on the back.

"Come on, big guy." She said. "We gotta get to Bobby before he kills any doctors." Dean's lips let a trace of a smile on them and he got up and they made their way back to the car.

"Hey, I've actually got bored of ACDC." Lorelai said. "How about some Led Zeppelin?"

"No. Metallica."

"Zeppelin."

"I'm in a Metallica mood. Besides, I've already told you; Driver picks the music. Shotgun shuts their cake-hole." Dean smirked at her. Lorelai returned it with a sarcastic smile that read 'I hate you'. Despite the fact that Sam was gone, Dean felt like he'd be okay.

They were back at Bobby's place. Bobby was home now, but kept locking himself in the study. Lorelai was watching TV whilst eating Lucky Charms out of the box. She'd been practicing fist fighting with Dean. She was quite good at it. She landed a few punches that would bruise. Dean went into the kitchen to make a sandwich when there was a mini-whirlwind directly behind him. He turned to find that Castiel was right near him, practically face to face.

"Cas, we've talked about this. Personal space."

"My apologies." Castiel replied and stepped back right in the way of Lorelai who was walking back in.

"Excuse me, Cas." She said. Castiel turned to face her. "You're in my way" she pointed out. Castiel moved to the other side of the room. Lorelai looked at Dean questionably.

"He has this thing with standing in the wrong places." Dean explained. Lorelai snorted and put the empty Lucky Charms box in the bin. She found it funny that a warrior of God was so clueless.

"Where's Sam?" Castiel asked Dean.

"He and I are taking separate vacations right now. What's going on then? Have you found God yet? More importantly, can I have my damned necklace back?"

"No, I haven't found him. I've come to you for help."

"With what? God hunt? I'm not interested."

"No, It's someone else."

"Who?"

"An archangel. The one who killed me. Raphael."

"Wait, you were wasted by a Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel?" Dean joked. Lorelai snorted again.

"I've heard whispers that he walks the Earth." Castiel continued. "This is a rare opportunity. We could get information on where God is."

"What, you think he'll just spill God's location?"

"Yes. Because we are going to trap and interrogate him."

"You're serious about this? Give me one reason why I should help."

"Because you're Michael's vessel. No angel would dare harm you."

"Oh, so you're using me as a bullet shield?"

"I need your help, because you are the only one who would help me. Please." For an angel he's sure good at putting people on guilt trips, Lorelai thought.

"Okay, fine." Dean said. Castiel put his hand out to take Dean to Raphael's location but Dean pulled back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Last time you Zapped me someplace, I didn't poop for a week. We're driving." Castiel desisted.

"Am I coming?" Lorelai asked Dean.

"Sorry Lori. It's too dangerous. He'd use you against me." Lorelai sighed.

"Fine. It's just that Bobby's bad mood is a bit of a buzz-kill. You know what? Never mind. I'll focus on fixing up my awesome Dodge Charger."

"Yeah, the Impala's better."

"Yeah, yeah. We'll decide that once mine's fixed up. I need a few new parts though."

"Borrow Bobby's car. I got you a new credit card. " He took a credit card out of his pocket and gave it to Lorelai. She read the name on it.

"Joan Larkin? Isn't that Joan Jetts' real name?" She looked at Dean who raised his eyebrows. "It's awesome. Thanks."

"You're welcome. Just remember the order of the pedals when you drive to town. Bobby'll be pissed if you crash."

"I'll be fine. Just go with Angel Boy, hunt down the ninja angel and be quick. I'll get bored and I don't think Bobby would be happy if I played pranks on him right now."

"See ya, Lori." Dean gave her a quick hug and left. Castiel followed. Lorelai went to the study.

"Bobby." Lorelai began softly. "Dean's gone to find Raphael with Cas and I need to borrow your car to get parts for my car. Where are your keys?" His reply was bland.

"Cabinet." Lorelai smiled at the handicapped hunter, grabbed the keys and went. She missed Dean already. It was like all of Bobby's happiness went with his legs and the depression was contagious.

Bobby's car was a wreck already. If she crashed it, it would make no difference. She couldn't wait for her car to finally be ready. She would have a route of escape from the world then and could finally go shopping. She missed shopping. She missed a lot of things from her past life. It was like she could never win.
