*Finally Home*

*Back in the house, Lilly's room…*

Sam took a look around Lilly's room.

She still had her nice, huge, tidy room. The bed was still next to the wall right beside the desk and a few more furniture.

He aimed for the desk and saw some research 'bout Bloody Mary and other urban legends like the Vanishing Hitchhikers, Women in White and the Waverly Hills Sanatorium of Louisville.

Besides he saw a weapon here and there like a revolver Colt, a shotgun or a silver-golden Athame and in a corner there even is a sickle.

Then the picture frames caught his attention. Everywhere in the room were pics; at least six of them.

Sam immediately recognized the pictured family, two girls and a married couple, the Colts. On the back there was a little inscription: 'The Colts: Susan and Marc with their lovely daughters Lucy and Lilly'.

Another one showed the sisters together in a bed. Lilly laid across the bed and Lucy abused the back of her baby sis as pillow; both smiled into the camera.

As Sam was about to leave his look flight over the room again and he noticed three photos on the bedside table. He walked back into the room and watched the other ones.

The first showed him and Lil, it was shot on her 16th b-day, they didn't meet often while he was in Stanford.

Behind that one there were Lucy and Dean, Lu hugged his older bro and kissed his cheek. It was shot at the same day.

The last was a photo of Cas and her; together arm in arm. Cas wore a blue jeans, a blue checkered Shirt and a black leather jacket not his usual trench coat. And Lil looked unbelievably happy.

*Simultaneously, inside Lucy's room…*

Meanwhile Dean checked Lucy's room. It was huge and chaotic.

He wasn't looking for something special and if he would've, he wouldn't probably find it.

Dean had to be very careful, everywhere laid weapons and he wasn't in the mood to stumble and get hurt. But he was smiling, that's exactly his style, that's why he and Lucy get along so well, they

more or less, tick the same.

Without any scratch he made it through the chaos and took a look around. He actually had something he was looking for now, it occurred while he saw the lots of tiger pictures in her room. Maybe Lucy

still had photos of him? And Dean actually found a few photos.

The sisters with a small girl he didn't know. She had brown eyes and long dark red hair, it was Julie.

Another pictured the Colt Family.

And at her desk he found the one he was looking for: A photo where he and Lucy smiled in the camera, arm in arm, while she gave him a kiss.

Beside that one there was the photo of Lil and Cas; Sam found too.

Suddenly his little bro opened the door.

"Hey Dean, you wanna spend the night here? We should go in the living room, I don't want them to figure out we took a closer look at their rooms. They're gonna screw us."

"Right. I don't want them pissed; if they're pissed I just say three words: What Colt bitches…"

"Damn right." Sam replied and Dean fought his way back to the door.

*In front of the Mansion...*

"Hey Lucy, as we left, did you forgot to turn off the light again?"

"That happened once and you keep heating it up again and again and again. Like you don't make mistakes, Ms. Perfect."

"I didn't mean that nor did I say that."

"This is so stupid."

"Jeez! I just wanna know if you left the friggin' lights on." Lil said annoyed and pointed to Lucy's room, the light was on.

"NO! Holy- Who? That wasn't me!" she defended herself.

"The Winchesters…"

Now both started running into the house and upstairs.

Suddenly Lucy screamed as she nearly overran Dean in the 1st floor.

"Jeez Lucy! What the hell was that?" Lil asked her older sis.

Her answer: "I was just frightened."

"How can someone be that frightened as hunter?" Dean asked totally perplex.

"That's rich, coming from you… But honestly, I asked myself this question a several times too." Lilly replied and looked at her sis in confusion.

She just shrugged her shoulders. In order to change the topic Lucy turned the tables to the guys.

"Hey what is wrong with you two? Lilly handed you the keys that you don't have to wait for us to get in the house and you guys snoop through our rooms! How could you? Besides: Dean, maybe, but

Sammy you? No way. You really disappointed me." The last words Lucy said playfully but the rest in a really serious tone.

"Okay Lucy chill would you? We didn't sneak through any closet of you girls we just checked the photos." Sam defeated himself and his brother.

"Well at least something… Hey Lu, did you leave your room like that or was that one of you guys?"

"The chaos was like that. I just tried to get through it without a scratch. Besides you should know your sister well enough to figure she created that mess." Dean said honestly.

"An hour before we left the room was totally clean! What do you do? Do you have some kind of a 'Tasmanian Devil gene'?"

"Yeah."

"No!"

"Hey I wasn't quite sure what cloths I needed so I tried a few…" Lu explained while the four went down in the living room.

*In the living room…*

The four hunters sat on the couch and in the armchairs.

The room was totally different than the one in the Winchesters memory. The room looked simple and appealing.

A white couch and two armchairs stood in the middle of the room, decorated with a few pillows. In front of the sofa there was a big glass table.

In the right corner there was a huge fireplace.

There also was a plasma TV on the wall. The big wall unit stood on the opposite wall. And they even had a bookshelf in the room…

Obviously the girls got their way.

"I just wanna know why and will you do that again?" Lil said.

"We're sorry." Sam said and Dean continued

"Yeah. We will never do it again."

"You forgot the why." Lu pointed out.

"Right…" Dean began and thought about a believable excuse but he decided to say the truth: "I don't know why. It was an impulse."

The sister's smile got wider and they stared laughing.

"Okay, I put the covers on your beds." Lilly stood up and Lu added: "I'll help you!"

Back in the 1st floor the Colties split, Lu took Dean's room, Lil Sam's. The Winchesters visited the Colt Family so often they even had regular rooms.

The brothers walked the stairs up again and again Lucy nearly overran Dean.

"Hey, am I your fave target?" he asked her.

Cheeky smiling she nodded yes.

"Rooms are ready! Get some sleep boys!" Lilly called and vanished into her room. Inside someone was already waiting…

Lucy had a good yawn.

"I need some sleep too. Sweet dreams guys." she said and the Winchesters went into their rooms.

Each room had a wall unit with a plasma TV inside. The beds stood against the wall, they were fresh covered. Right beside there was a desk and a few flowers and decoration to make the room more

comfortable.

Finally a room for each one and a comfortable bed. The boys felt the comfort of a home again. Tired but happy they drifted away.

Around 11 am the phone rang and woke up everyone. Until one of the sisters reached the receiver the caller on the other side hung up.

"Who was that?" Dean asked drowsy.

"I don't know. If it was important, they will call again." Lilly said and Lucy continued: "Exactly. What do you think about breakfast and some coffee? I could have some sweeeeet coffee."

"Great idea! I'm starving!" Dean answered and the four went into the kitchen.

While they were walking downstairs; the smell of fresh coffee and rolls filled the whole hallway and the kitchen.

As the hunters entered the room, they saw a well-laid table, with a full pot of coffee on the desk and a basket of fresh baker rolls. In front was a note for Lil:

"I needed to leave. Sorry. I'll be back as soon as possible.

I hope you like the breakfast. =)"

"Aw… That's just cute." Lu replied after she read the note too and wondered who the mysterious guy was…

"Who wrote that note?" Sam asked.

"Doesn't matter." Lilly replied smiling and Lucy gave everyone a cup of coffee.

*Late evening, living room…*

The four of them hung around the whole day, now they were watching TV.

But everyone was still tired from the last nights hunt, so they called it a night at 11.34 p.m. and went to bed.

*Sam's room…*

It was in the middle of the night as Sam's cell rang.

Sleepy he grabbed the phone.

No Caller ID.

"Who the hell?" he asked himself, checked his watch -1.44 a.m. – really?- and answered the call sleepily.

"Hello?"

"Sam! It's me!" a female voice responded in a nervous tone. She sounded scared and tired too.

Sam knew the calling girl well, it was Mariam Wesson, they studied together at Stanford. Mari's major were English literature and Urban Legends. She was a hunter too, took on low-leveled monsters

and observed everything else. After the sound of her voice, she was in trouble, big trouble.

"Mari! How are you doin'? Are you okay?" he asked worried.

"No, I'm afraid I'm not! They hunt me Sam! I need your help!" she yelled terrified into the receiver.

"Mari, calm down and tell me who they are. Who is after you?"

"They! The demons. I pissed of a very powerful demon, a too powerful one. Now I have a high bounty on my head. They're after me. Sammy, I need your help!" Mariam nearly cried.

She was desperate and alone, haunted by a dozen of demons.

Sam knew the situation was serious and he tried to calm himself and Mariam.

"Okay, where are you now?" Sam asked her calmly.

"I'm in a motel in Lincoln, Nebraska."

"Good, I'm in Rawlins with Dean, Lilly and her sis. I'll wake 'em and we'll start right now. We're gonna get you. Did you salt the doors and windows?"

"Yes." she answered short.

"Good, then check the salt lines, paint a simple devils trap and hide it. Make sure you'll stay safe until we arrive. And pack your stuff, we need to leave fast." Sam ordered.

"Okay. Sam! Thank you. See you soon." Mari replied and hung up.

She checked the salt lines and painted the devils trap while Sam grabbed his jeans, ran through the mansion and woke up everyone.

*Inside Dean's room…*

"Dean! C'mon, wake up! We need to help Mariam!"

Sleepy Dean asked: "Who? What? Why?"

"Mariam, I know her from Stanford, she's a hunter too and in big trouble!"

He got up grumpy and Sam left the room.

Then he knocked on Lil's door twice and said: "Lilly! I'm comin' in!"

*Simultaneously inside her room…*

Lilly slept peacefully as she heard someone knocking.

Then Sam said: "Lilly! I'm comin' in!" and opened the door.

"Hey, I'm sorry that I wake you but we need to help Mari, she's haunted by demons."

Suddenly Lilly was wide awake and jumped out of the bed. She was just wearing a red nighty and started freezing immediately.

"Where is she?"

"Lincoln, NE."

"Good. Then let's go, make the car ready." she ordered, took jeans, shirt and a jacket and walked into Lu's room.

*Lu's room…*

"Lucy ! Wake up! A friend of mine is in biiiiiiig trouble! So get your lazy ass out of the bed."

Lu turned to her sister and said grumpily: "Do I need to? Call for Cas, he'll help you and her."

Lil took the blanket away and yelled pissed: "She's like a sis, so move your ass right now! We can't deal with a bunch of demons on our own!"

*Garage…*

Sam and Dean already waited in the car.

"Okay, so who is this Mariam girl?" Dean asked his younger brother.

"We studied together in Stanford. Mari lived in Palo Alto, she was BFF with Jess and after Yellow Eyes killed her, she moved to Princeton, where she met Lilly and studied with her. Officially Mari doesn't

hunt anymore, she observes the monsters and demons, but sometimes she takes on low leveled ones." Sam explained.

He was really worried about her.

Dean thought about this a moment.

At the same time Lil pushed Lucy out of the front door. The sisters jumped into the Impala where the impatient waiting hunters sat.

Sam speeded up the engine and they rushed into the night, heading to Lincoln.

*Lincoln, NE…*

After a nine hour drive the four arrived in Lincoln.

Sam and Dean switched places about four hours ago. The older Winchester was driving now while Sam sat shotgun. He took his cell phone and called Mari.

"Hey, it's me. We're in Lincoln now. What motel are you in?"

"Sam! Thank god! I'm in the 'Days Inn' 1140 Calvert. Floor two, room 44." she replied.

"Okay, we'll be there in 15 minutes. I'll knock three times. If someone knocks and it's not three times, don't open!" he ordered.

"Okay. Bye." Mari replied and hung up.

Ten minutes later they arrived at the motel.

The hunters grabbed the guns and they checked the surrounding for demons. As everything seemed to be clean, they went to the motel.

Mariams room was in the middle of the 2nd floor. Sam knocked three times as he said.

A low, scared voice asked: "Sam?" and slowly opened the door.

A 5'21' brown eyed girl watched through the door crack. She had long, dark hair and looked very exhausted.

Mari opened the door completely and hugged Sam and Lilly tight.

"Mari, how did you get into this crap?" Lilly asked and sat next to her on the bed.

"She can tell us when we're save. We need to leave now." Dean said and grabbed her packed duffle.

Slowly, one after one they left the room and observed every little detail.

No demons around. At least not yet.

Three black dressed men sneaked around the motel. Unfortunately they were well covered and no one saw them.

As the last two hunters arrived at the Impala they heard gun shots.

"Ah!" Dean yelled and held his left shoulder.

"Damn it!" Lilly pushed Mari into the Impala, Lucy and Dean jumped into the car too.

"Where are they?" Lu asked and looked around the whole area.

"I don't know! Just go away from here!" Dean said and held his bleeding shoulder.

Sam ran to the driver's seat and pushed the gas. With squeaking tires they rushed away.

"Damn it." One of the demons said.

"I told you we should've fired sooner!" another one bitched at the first.

"The boss won't like that." The added and they left the place.

*Inside the Impala…*

Dean cursed as loud as he could.

"Sam pull aside. I want Dean and Lil switch places." Lucy said and grabbed the first aid box.

After Dean took place beside her she patched him up. Mari sat next to them without saying a word. She was confused and was still running through what just happened.

They kept driving like this for a while.

After two hours Sam asked: "Are you okay, Mari. You're so quiet."

"Yeah. I'm just trying to deal with everything… Sorry."

The younger Winchester left it that way and asked Dean instead: "What about your shoulder?"

"I'll survive it. Like I survived the other shots." he replied tough.

Another eight hours and a lot of breaks passed 'til they arrived Rawlins again.

Finally the Impala parked in the driveway and everyone got out.

Sam stretched his long limbs while the sisters and Dean went to the front door.

Mariam was still a little confused. That's the reason Sam wrapped his arm around her shoulders, claimed her duffle from the trunk and went with her to the front door.

The sisters walked into the kitchen and made Mari a calming tea.

Then they sat in the living room and everyone watched Mariam now.

With a deep sigh Mariam started her story.

Alright, that's it for now.

I won't post for a while until I'm ahead of a few chaps... ;)
