Sam

I woke up and checked my computer for anything new. An article popped up which had triggered the words I was looking for. Another shop had been smashed up, the same girl, same things, sleeping pills and pain killers, and water.

"Dean." I nudged him. He groaned. "Dean." I said louder as I pushed him harder.

"What? What?"

"She hit Toledo at 4 this morning."

"And you didn't say anything?" Dean replied, already wide awake.

"I was asleep." I said as I closed my laptop and started to pack up my stuff. Dean got up and walked over to Kayla who was slowly waking up.

"Oi, dweeb, get up."

"Piss off."

"Rude. Get up, the witch moved." she let out a groan and got up, pulling her dagger from under her pillow and getting out of bed.

"Fine." she said, grabbing her brush from the table and running it through her hair before tying it up. "Lets go." she said as she grabbed all of her stuff.

It was a two hour drive to Toledo. Same routine as the last 2. We went to the police station, asked them about what happened, they guided us to the owner of the shop, only this time it wasn't a shop, it was a garage.

The owner of the garage, a woman called Sal, said that she had come in and grabbed a few things, sleeping pills, pain killers, water, the same as last time.

"What is she in pain or something?" Dean asked, getting annoyed at how evasive she was.

"I don't know, but whatever she was, she hitch hiked out of here."

"Where?"

"Don't know, she had a sign that said Des Moines, whether that was her final stop I don't know."

"Did she say anything?" I asked as Dean looked around outside.

"No. Just destroyed half the shop and killed some tires. What is she?"

"A witch." I had given up, she had hit three places, it was starting to be known. I had seen it on the news once.

"No really, what was she?"

"We don't know." Kayla said as she stepped forwards and smiled at the woman. "How far is Des Moines?"

"Bout 8 hours drive."

"Good. Thank you for the help, sorry about the shop."

"I'll fix it. Glad I could help." Sal said as we left.

"Anyone else get the feeling we're getting close?"

"Nope, just you Sammy."

"If they're hitch hiking then it must be some distance they have to cover." Kayla said as she got in the back of the car.

"Wait, Des Moines, isn't that on the 80?" Dean asked as he started the car towards the 8 hour journey ahead of us.

"Yeah, it is, why?" I asked as I looked up the way to Des Moines on my laptop.

"Because that's the way to the bunker." Dean said as he put his foot on the gas.

A new case came up an hour in to the drive. Another garage had been torn apart, water stolen.

"No painkillers, or Sleeping pills?" Kayla asked as she leant over the seat. "She must be getting close to her destination." Kayla said. She was right.

It was another 7 hours of silent driving before we reached Des Moines. We drove straight to the station and showed our cards.

"FBI. A garage just got torn apart didn't it?" Dean asked. The man nodded before standing up and looking at Dean as he turned around and cursed.

"How did you know?"

"We've been following this person for a few days. Which garage?"

"Where the 235 becomes the 80." he replied. We turned and left, going to the garage. It was starting to become frantic. They were so close, and too close to home for comfort.

The couple that ran the garage said that the girl had come in and taken what she needed before catching a lift using a sign.

"It said Des Moines on one side, she had written Lebanon Kansas on the other."

"How long ago did she leave?" Dean asked as he started to pace.

"8 or so hours ago, I'm sorry but you missed her." we would have spoken more but Dean had been proven right. She was going to Kansas. And she had left 8 hours ago.

Dean drove. His hands were white knuckled on the wheel. I wished Cas was here to calm him down, but him and Kushiel were tracking down the remaining demons. I heard Kayla tapping her fingers in anticipation. She had gotten a lot more like Dean since Salem.

We had to stop halfway there. I forced Dean away from the wheel. He had driven for nearly 13 hours straight. We took a break at a diner where we ate some burgers. Dean didn't seem happy about having to stop. I wasn't either, but we had to stop.

When we continued I drove, Kayla claimed Shotgun so Dean could get some sleep in the back. There was only an hour left before we reached Lebanon. I was going to drive straight to the bunker but we were running low on fuel so I stopped and filled the impala up.

"Nearly there Dean." I heard Kayla say as she turned around and poked Dean awake. He blinked up at her before running a hand through his hair and sitting up.

"Thanks." he said before yawning. I went inside and paid for the fuel and some coffee. I walked back and handed Dean a coffee over my seat.

"Thanks Sammy."

"No problem." I said as I handed the other one to Kayla who took it with a sleepy smile.

"So, what are we going to do if the witch is at the bunker?"

"She can't get in. it's designed to keep people out, right?"

"Right."

"But a witch could possibly unlock the door."

"We'll kill her, that's what we do. It's our job." Dean said as he took a long sip from the coffee.

"Yeah, that sounds like a plan."

"You got a better one?"

"Not really." I replied after a pause. I drove the remaining couple of miles to the bunker and parked up.

Dean got out first, gun at the ready by his side. Kayla and I got out as well, like he had. I didn't see anyone immediately, until I walked further and my angle changed.

"Dean." I hissed. He turned to look at me before I looked at the ground next to him. He looked down and aimed his gun at the girl sat, curled outside the door.

"Oi, what are you doing here?" he asked as he pressed the barrel to her head. She looked up slowly and it was the first time any of us had seen her face. Her curly hair was plastered against her forehead, her nose and cheeks were covered in freckles, and I recognised that face.

"Sienna?" I asked. Surely it wasn't. Dean looked between me and her. She barely looked like the girl we had known. Her eyes were sunken, her skin almost three shades lighter. She was covered in bruises and she looked like she hadn't slept in weeks.

She blinked slowly before smiling weakly.

"He-y" she croaked out before coughing. We all holstered our guns as she tried to stand up. Her knees buckled and a few cuts reopened. She winced and started to fall back down before Dean grabbed her and picked her up.

"Open the door Sam." he said, I was already pulling the key out of my pocket. I opened the door and Dean started down the stairs. We followed after him as he laid her down on one of the tables.

She curled up and continued to cough, bringing her hand to her mouth. Kayla shook her head before placing a hand on Sienna's shoulder. She stopped coughing and wiped the blood away from her mouth. She sat up slowly as Kayla withdrew her hand, helping her up.

"I- I kno-w you" she gave up speaking and made some gestures with her hands before continuing. "I know you all have questions. I do too if I'm honest, but I need to eat and to shower, so hold them." She said in my mind, I know she said the same to the others as they reacted the same way.

She stood slowly with Kayla's help, and started towards her room.

"Do you think it was her?" Dean asked as he sat down on the table.

"It's possible. But why would she destroy all those shops?" I asked as I pulled out a seat and sat down.

"Maybe she didn't mean to. I mean, I was pretty shitty when I came out of hell, maybe her magic is reacting to it."

"Maybe. God is she really alive?"

"It seems so. The 10 months elapsed last week." Dean said.

"The 10th right. Bout 9 days ago."

We sat in silence for a couple of minutes until Dean spoke.

"You look better." he said as I turned around. Sienna was stood at the door in a light grey top and jeans which weren't covered in blood. Her hair was still wet, and it reached her shoulders. It had grown in the 10 months she had been dead, as hair tends to.

"I feel it." she said, her voice sill croaky. She walked into the kitchen and I heard the tap turn on. She came back with a glass of water held tightly in her hand as she leant heavily on the door frame. Dean and I got up and walked over to her, offering her someone to lean on.

"Dammit S, I told you to wait." came Kayla's yell from down the corridor.

Sienna smiled as she ignored both of us and walked to the table, placing the glass of water down hard. She turned and leant against the table, watching us.

"Welcome back S." Dean said as he walked towards her, she smiled as he wrapped her in one of his hugs. I was right behind him when they finished. I hugged her and realised how frail she was. Dean did too.

"Have you eaten anything?" he asked.

"Do protein bars count?" she asked with a cautious smile. Her voice was getting better with the use.

"You know they don't, I'm gonna make you something, and then you're gonna tell us what the hell happened. Capiche?"

"Capiche." she replied as Dean started to the kitchen. She sat down and rested her head on her arms, looking like she was trying to fall asleep. I sat down opposite her and stared at her.

"S?"

She didn't reply, so I assumed she was asleep. I left her, the kid probably hadn't slept for a while. I got up and grabbed a blanket from one of the other seats where I had been researching till late. I put it over her shoulders and waked into the kitchen.

"She say anything?" Dean asked as he looked over at me.

"Nah, she fell asleep."

"Man has she even slept since she came up?"

"Probably not. She was in hell Dean I don't blame her for not sleeping."

"Good point." Dean replied as he stirred the soup before ladling out some into a bowl. He left the room and I followed. I stopped as he put down the bowl and gently shook her shoulders. I stepped forwards as I realised something.

"Wait Dean, is that a goo-" too late. She woke up and her power surged. The soup hit the wall on the other side and shattered followed quickly by Dean. The table was flipped over. Then she blinked and it stopped.

"Son of a bitch." Dean said as he got up from the floor only to be held on the spot, as I tried to move. Sienna looked between both of us, her eyes wide and scared. She took a breath and lowered her hands. The force stopping us left and she fell back into her chair. I walked over to her as she started to cry.

"Hey, shhh. It's okay, we've all been there." I said as I squatted next to her.

"I know. I know." she replied as Dean walked over and put the blanket back around her shoulders.

"Good thing I made more soup." he said with a smile before going back into the kitchen. I picked up the table as Kayla walked into the room.

"What the hell did I miss?" she asked as she handed Sienna a small pouch, like the ones that S had given us. "For the nightmares." she said as Sienna reached for it. There was some thonging around the mouth of the fabric which she looped over her neck.

"Thanks."

"No problem. You sound like shit by the way." she said as she sat down next to her. She tried to laugh but it came out as a cough.

The cough continued and she doubled over, her breathing coming in ragged. She was having an asthma attack.

"Get her inhaler." I told Kayla as I pulled Sienna so that she was sat up straight. I sat down on the table in front of her and looked her in the eye. "Breath with me. In." I sucked in a breath and watched as she took a ragged one as well. We held our breath for a few seconds. "And out." I said as I saw Dean walk into the room. He put the bowl down and walked over cautiously.

"You okay?"

"Asthma." I replied before taking another breath with her. Kayla ran in and handed her the inhaler. She took a puff of it and her breathing slowed down. I looked her over, my mind ticking through all the things that were wrong with her. Her scars stood out more then they had, she was a lot paler. Her tattoo was gone.

"Your tattoo."

"When we were doing the spell one of them cut it out." she said as she straightened up.

Dean picked up the bowl and handed I to her with a spoon as I got up and moved. I sat across from her, Kayla sat down next to her as she ate. Dean leant against the wall and watched. We waited for her to finish before speaking.

"Did you destroy those shops?" Dean asked, straight to the point.

"I didn't mean to."

"But you did, that means your loosing control of your power." Dean pointed out.

"If you're insinuating that you'll kill me, I would love to see you try." she said as she glared over at Dean.

"When did you wake up?" I asked.

"I got out of the grave you dug, the 10th of March. Spent a day digging out." she said as she held out her hands. Her nails were covered in dirt and blood where they had broken. "After hell you'd think digging out of your own grave would be the easiest. It's not."

"How are you?" Kayla asked. I realised that both mine and Dean's questions had been unfeeling.

"How do you think?" she asked as she got up and walked out of the room.

"What the hell Dean? Why would you say that?"

"If she can't control her powers I just want her to know that it'll be me behind the gun."

"Such a comfort."

"When did she get so strong?" I asked in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

"She's always had the potential to be strong, normally she wears her bracelet, or hides it. I guess hell did a number on her." Kayla replied, turning to face me.

A sound of wings echoed through the room and Cas entered with a sick looking Charlie.

"Cas." Dean said and walked over to hug him.

"Charlie." Kayla said with a wave.

"Sup bitches." she said as she walked over. "Wanna tell me why I'm here?"

I looked over at Dean, he was the only one likely to have been in contact with Cas.

"I didn't know who it was. I prayed to Cas so that we would have back up if necessary." Dean said as he raised his hands in defence.

"Whose back?" Cas asked as Charlie started to walk around the room.

"Sienna." I supplied. Cas turned to look at me before smiling.

"Can I see her?"

"Maybe, go for it."

Cas walked out of the room and down the corridor. I could just hear him knock in her door which was followed by a Fuck off.

"Whose Sienna?" Charlie ashed as she sat down.

"A hunter friend from England."

"A hunter friend? Really, is that all she was to you Dean?"

"Alright, she was like a sister to me."

"I'm sensing some unresolved shit here. What happened?"

Kayla and Dean fell quiet.

"Well that's eerie."

"She died. They cast a spell to destroy all the demons on the other side, and it killed her."

"Should I tell her it didn't work?" Charlie asked.

"It did work. It killed 12,000 of them, there were just more than those."

"Wait, she single handedly killed half the demon population? I gotta meet this chick." Charlie said before getting up and walking down the hall.

"You two sort out your shit, I'm gonna go see if she wants anything." I said before standing up and following Charlie.

Charlie was stood at Sienna's door, her hand hovering between knocking and staring as Cas healed her.

"Shit Cas, maybe warm your hands up next time, you're freezing." I could hear her smile as I walked over to the door.

"Sienna, I would like you to meet Charlie Bradbury. Charlie is a skilled hacker and a good hunter. Sienna just came back from hell so go easy on her Charlie. Is there anything you need?" I asked as I leant against the door before pushing Charlie inside.

"Some water please." Sienna called. I nodded and went to the kitchen. I walked pas Dean and Kayla who were arguing loudly. Kayla was rubbing her bracelet and looked like she wanted to take it off.

"If she does go off the rails, I will be the one to end her. Got that?"

"Fine. Whatever." Dean replied and sat down. I filled the glass she had used earlier and walked back to her room. She smiled when she saw me and got up slowly. She seemed brighter, like the life she had lost had come back. Cas had healed her to an extent.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"So, you're a witch? And you kept that hidden for years, Kayla didn't know till last year?"

"No she didn't" she replied, continuing her conversation as she walked back over to her bed.

"How?"

"I wore this." she said as she held up her arm. She had put the bracelet on again. I didn't know when but she seemed more comfortable with it on.

"Iron?"

"Yeah. It doesn't completely stop it, it's too small an amount, but it lessens the amount I can use." Sienna said with a smile as she sat on her bed. "Can we talk later, I need some sleep. I haven't slept in a long time."

"Sure." Charlie said before waving and leaving. Cas smiled at her before vanishing. Charlie closed the door and looked over at me. "You didn't tell me she was cute."

"She was dead, I didn't think about telling you she was cute."

"Fair enough." Charlie said with a smile before walking away, into the library.
