Linka had pretended to be asleep for hours until she heard the rhythmic breathing of Sam and Dean. She sat up and pulled her jeans and t-shirt on. She tried to be quiet so she didn't put her boots on. She instead carried them along with her phone and several knives and guns outside the room. She closed the door hoping that the click of the lock wouldn't wake them. She pulled the hiking boots on and tightened the laces. She strapped the gun to her belt and pulled her t-shirt over it. The knives went in various pockets and pouches she attached to the belt. She waited. It wasn't a long wait. Castiel walked to her. Linka walked to him.
"Castiel" She said with a hard serious tone.
"Linka, are you ready?"
"Yes, I am ready."
"Ok close your eyes." She obeyed.
The building was almost empty. Castiel led Links to the bound person. She was young, a college student, and she was beautiful. Linka removed her cross and charm and pulled her hair back. She looked at Castiel.
"Castiel, I'm not too sure now."
"Linka, you don't have to do this but it would be helpful to us." Linka looked back at the person then back to Castiel. She stepped in the devil's trap and walked to the girl. She stopped in front of her. She looked up and flashed the demonic eyes at Linka.
"Hello Linka."
"Do you know why you are here?"
"Because I was taken here. I thought you were supposed to be in connection with Heaven, you know see all know all."
"Do you want to do this the easy way?"
"The easy way is never the fun way sweetie."
"Okay we will do this my way."
"Oh your way, where you try to drag me from this body and pry apart my mind. I heard about what happened last time. Listen Honey you aren't all grown up so stop acting like it. I can see you're just a scared lonely girl. I can see that fear and longing that you try to hide, but you can't hide what you are."
"Neither can you." Linka chanted in the same ancient language and put her hands out. She put them on the girl's head and chanted louder and faster. This one wasn't rooted deeply and came without much of a fight. Linka realized that they were not important enough to know anything of value so she stopped and let the black smoke fall in a circle around her. It dissipated. Linka fell in the blackened circle. She wasn't as drained as the other time. She was weak though, very weak. She stood despite the protest of her body. She turned to Castiel.
"They didn't know anything." She said in between deep breathes. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be. You did what was asked."
"Can you take me back?"
"Of course."
Linka was being supported by Castiel. The first glow of morning was creeping over the sky. Linka limped across the parking lot to the door. It opened and there stood Sam, apparently awake from the discomfort of sleeping on the floor. He saw Linka and tried to help her into the room
"I'm fine" She said as she moved slowly and awkwardly into the room and fell on the bed.
Linka lay on the bed while Sam and Dean got ready. She felt her entire body pulse with pain. She felt hurt in places she had never felt pain before. Everything felt like it had been pushed beyond its physical limits and now it was broken. They walked past and Dean leaned over her face.
"You going to be ok here by yourself?"
"Yeah it's not like I can do anything, I am too sore to move."
"Okay, try not to get into trouble while we're gone."
"Will do captain" she said as he walked out the door. She heard the door close and was alone. She lay there for a few hours just daydreaming. Until she heard the door open and saw something fly over her head and land on her face. It was cloth.
"What's this?" she said muffled by the object.
"That my dear Linka is your uniform?"
"What's it doing on my face?" It was removed and she saw Dean smiling over her.
"Linka we need your help."
"I don't like where this is going."
"Well you see there have been some strange things going on at a local school."
"So, just be the janitor for a day, why should I be involved?"
"Because this school is an all girl's catholic school and all the teachers are nuns so we need a young girl, preferably high school aged to go in and see if there is anything strange."
"If I could move my arms I would punch you." She said with annoyance peppered in her voice.
