Welcome back for chapter thirty-three. We're still in Cara's point of view. Hope ya'll enjoy it.
PS: I own nothing but my idea and OCs. Also, the idea of a 'demon cursed with a soul' was kind of spin-off of the 'vampire cursed with a soul' thing. That is the only idea that isn't mine and is rightfully Joss Whedon's.
PPS: This will contain spoilers for S1 E15: The Benders . You have been warned so if you haven't seen it, get to it. Carry on.

Rocky Road

It had been a few weeks since our run in with the reaper, and the first time Dean and I got really close, and the boys hadn't called me recently so my life in St. Louis resumed. When my phone did ring, I jumped about a half a foot out of my chair to answer it. "Hello?"

"Hey, Cara. It's Sam."

"Hey, Sam. What's up?"

"Not a whole lot. Sorry we haven't been calling you lately. Dean's been acting funny since we came back from Cape Girardeau." I furrowed my brow in confusion.

"You were in Missouri and didn't call me?" Sam sighed.

"One of Dean's old girlfriends called us to look into her father's death. Turns out there was more to it than anyone could see." I could feel my whole body tighten up at the mention of Dean visiting an old girlfriend of his. Sure, we weren't really dating so I had no logical reason to be upset but I did feel closer to him than anyone I've been around for a long time. I shook it off and got back on track.

"The important thing is that you found out what it really was and helped someone close to you along the way. What's on the agenda this time?"

"We got this weird call out in Hibbing, Minnesota. Some guy vanished in the middle of the night." I groaned softly. "What's up?"

"Hibbing is a twelve hour drive from here. I'm not looking forward to the drive, is all. Want me to meet you there?"

"If it's not too much trouble. We could use some help. This doesn't exactly read like something we would do."

"Never underestimate the supernatural, Sam."

"True. So, we'll see you when you get here?"

"You sure will. Later, Sam."

"Bye, Cara." I hung up the phone and sighed. I was so not looking forward to a twelve hour drive.

Dean's Point of View

I watched Sam talk to Cara on the phone and I had to admit that I was a little nervous about seeing Cara again. Sure, we connected after the reaper attack but I also had connected with an old girlfriend of mine a few weeks ago. The whole situation made me feel extremely awkward and I just wanted to avoid it. Unfortunately with Sam calling Cara, I had to deal with it and that made me angry a little bit. Before Sam came back into the car, I made it look as if I wasn't eavesdropping on his conversation with Cara. Sam sat down in the seat and I glanced over at him. "So, what's going on?"

"She said she'll be here as fast as she can. It is a twelve hour drive from St. Louis. Let's go find out some more about this thing." I nodded and went to start the Impala but Sam stopped me. "Something is bothering you, Dean."

"I'm not going there, Sam. You know I've been a wreck since Missouri. Just drop it." Without waiting for Sam's response, I started the Impala and drove off to meet with this guy's family. Sam and I changed into police uniforms, got our IDs straight and pulled up to this ratty looking apartment building. I shut off my car and the two of us headed inside. We met up with a mother and her son and it was obvious she wasn't happy to see us.

"I know you're just doing your job but the police have been here all week already. I don't see why we have to go through this again. The more he tells the story, the more he believes its true." I resisted the urge to sigh in anger as Sam and I took our hats off.

"Mrs. McKay. We know you spoke with local authorities."

"But this seems like a matter for the state police. So,"

"Don't worry about crazy it sounds, Evan. Just tell us what you saw." Evan took a deep breath and Sam and I waited patiently to hear his story.

"I was up late, watching TV, when I heard this weird noise."

"What did it sound like?"

"It sounded like a monster." Sam looked at me and of course, I was skeptical.

"Tell the officers what you were watching on TV."

"Um, Godzilla vs Motha." I laughed.

"That's my favorite Godzilla movie. So much better than the original, huh?"

"Totally."

I nodded my head towards Sam. "He likes the remake."

"Yuck." Sam cleared his throat and I realized I had to focus on what we were doing.

"Evan, did you see what this thing was?"

"No but I saw it grab Mr. Jenkins and pulled him underneath a car."

"Then what?"

"It took him away. I heard the monster leaving. It made this really scary sound."

"What did it sound like, Evan?"

"This whining growl."

"Thanks for your time." The two of us left Mrs. McKay and her son and headed to a bar. So far, this wasn't sounding like our kind of job.
