After a week of what felt like non stop hunting Dean and I were exhausted and booked into a motel to get some rest.

That's when Cas called me and asked where we were. Just as I told him Dean snatched the cell phone from my hand "Hey don't even think about coming over here, Cas we're Human" he looked at me "mostly and we need 4 hours sleep every now and again"

He turned my phone off "Sorry about that" he told me as he handed it back to me

"Don't be I'm exhausted too"

"Then why don't you tell him that?"

"I can't" I shrugged "It's Cas"

Dean rolled his eyes "You know I think I liked you better when you were all cynical"

"You don't mean that" I told him

"Part of me does" he said "they really tired part"

"Goodnight Dean" I told him as I walked towards the adjoining room

"Goodnight Sarah"

I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow but when I woke it was still dark

"Cas" I whispered to the figure by my bed

"Ssh" he told me

"What is it?"

"Zachariah, he's taken Dean into the future. I've come to get you out of here before Zachariah comes back. If he gets his hands on your he'll kill you"

"Can I at least get dressed"

"No need" he waved his hand my pyjamas were replaced with a selection of my clothes, white jeans and a red t shirt and my black ankle boots.

"What?" he asked as he saw the look on my face

"Cas you might be the most amazing guy I've ever met but you have no fashion sense whatsoever"

Cas took me to a deserted road side "What now?" I asked

"We wait here, when Zachariah brings Dean back to this time time I'll bring Dean here"

"Will Dean be OK?" I asked

"As long as I time it right, you're freezing" he noticed me shivering

"Yeah I guess you forgot my coat"

"I'm sorry"

"Well l You also probably saved my life so thank you"

He wrapped his arms around me and I began to feel a little warmer. I wasn't sure how long we stood like that for but eventually he nudged me slightly.

Dean appeared in front of us "Nice timing Cas"

"We had an appointment"

"Don't ever change" Dean turned to me "you on the other hand need to change, what the hell are you wearing?"

"Don't start" I glared at him but secretly I was pleased that all three of us were safe for now.

"Dean took out his phone and called Sam. I was pleased about that too. I'd been trying not to say anything but it didn't feel right him and Dean been apart especially with everything going on.

Cas kissed me goodbye and left to take care of a few things.

I waited for Sam with Dean. He filled me in a few things as we waited

"So you're both vessels huh?"

"Well we're not going to say yes" he told me "neither of us, you know where they can stick it"

"You know a big part of the reason I stayed with you after Colorado was because Sam was gone and I thought you might some help"

"I know but what was the rest of reason?"

"I was scared to be on my own, but now I'm thinking maybe I should take off all the same"

"I could still use some help" he told me "and I've gotten used having you around, seriously stay" he told me

I thought for a minute "I'll stay on one condition"

"OK" he said cautiously

"Tell me what it was like in the future, was I there?"

"mmm" he looked down at the floor awkwardly

"No secrets remember?"

"There's no easy way of saying it, you were dead"

"Oh"

we sat in silence for a while

"I thought you might have asked how you died, if it were me I would have"he told me

"You know what? screw it" I told him "If you and Sam can fight your destinies then maybe I can fight mine too. I'll stay but I don't plan on dying any time soon"

"Knowing you , you'd only come back and haunt me anyway" Dean joked

""Damn straight" I told him "Look I'm going to head back to the motel and let you and Sam have your reunion but I'll see you later OK?"

As I walked across town I became aware that I was been followed and began to wish I'd stayed with Dean. I sped up and hoped I could make it to the motel and the next thing I knew I was there in my room. I leant against the wall to stop myself from falling.

"Whoa" I said as it felt like the room was spinning. Cas had told me this might happen but I hadn't really thought it would happen so soon and I managed to get my my bed to lie down, After that I must have passed out.
