I honestly didn't know what to think or feel about Castiel's admission. I could feel his and Uriel's emotions and they were overwhelming. The anger, the betrayal, and the determination and one thing I couldn't place my finger on. The last feeling reminded me of Anna so much it was a little freaky. Was that feeling or whatever it was how she heard the angels? It was like they were connected in some way, but I couldn't figure it out. Sam and Dean were pissed that the angels could even suggest such a thing and I couldn't blame them, Anna was a sweet albeit strange girl; death seemed way to extreme for the situation or maybe I had missed something. I could feel her fear in the back room and honestly I wasn't surprised in the least little bit. "Look I know she's been wiretapping you guys but killing her. You're some heartless sons of bitches ya know that?" Dean asked although I'm pretty sure it was rhetorical. But yes suggesting killing the girl just because she could hear them was heartless. Of course not understanding that he wasn't supposed to answer Castiel replied "Yes we are. And?"

"And Anna's an innocent girl." Sam answered. I was inclined to agree with him. Even though her feelings were wonky for whatever reason and she could do some strange things she hadn't hurt anyone and didn't deserve death. "She is far from innocent." Castiel replied. Okay now I'm back to thinking I missed something, how could he say she isn't innocent? Sam asked the question I had been wanting to, "What's that supposed to mean?" It was that dickbag Uriel that answered the question. "It means she is worse than this abomination you have been screwing. Now give us the girl." Okay now I'm really confused and pissed off. Although some of the anger wasn't my own. Dean was beyond pissed that someone thought Anna could be worse than Ruby. I happened to agree, there was no way that Anna was worse than that good-for-nothing, skanky, lying, manipulative, slutty demon. Sam was also mad, but that was just because Ruby had been insulted. Ruby was upset about it as well, but I couldn't care less about her feelings. The angels on the other hand were getting impatient and it worried me a little, but not enough to make me give up Anna. "Sorry boys, but that just isn't gonna happen." I said. Dean looked at me and Sam and nodded. "Yeah get yourself another one. Maybe try Jdate." Dean told them.

Of course that didn't go over well with the angels, but I found it funny. I loved Dean's sense of humor when it came to these kinds of situations. "And who's going to stop us? You three or this demon whore?" Uriel said stepping toward us. I let out a snarl of anger letting him know he needed to back off and that I wasn't afraid of him in the least bit. Although thinking back on it that might not have been the smartest thing, he was pretty powerful after all. My snarl did nothing to make him stoop and he flung Ruby across the room. I did a slight happy dance in my head over that one. Dean then took a swing at Uriel. We were going to do everything we could to protect Anna. Castiel started advancing on Sam. I could hear him pleading with Castiel to stop, but I was more concerned with Dean at the moment. Uriel had a hold of Dean and was beating on him ruthlessly. I charged at him knife ready only to be flung across the room myself. The injuries I had sustained early from the big bad demon when we first met Anna made my head swim and I could barely breathe. I tried to stand back up, but I was too dizzy. Sam was passed out on the floor thanks to Castiel so I did my best to try and get over to him. Next thing I knew a bright light was shinning through the room with what sounded like thunder and the angels were gone.

I sat there next to Sam as he woke up and looked to Dean he was panting heavily but able to stand. He went and helped Ruby up much to my dismay. Why was he being nice to her? I couldn't take how he couldn't see the truth behind what she was doing. Sam then woke up beside me and I was glad he was okay. I smiled at him despite all the confusion I was feeling from everyone. Dean had gone to check on Anna but I was still a little too dizzy to stand. "Hey are you okay?" Sam asked. I loved how sweet and caring he always was despite everything he has been through. "Yeah I'll be okay just a little dizzy getting knocked in the head more than once doesn't exactly feel good I'll tell ya that much." I replied. Sam chuckled and helped me stand while saying, "No it most certainly does not. We get back to the hotel I'll get you some ibuprofen and maybe a neck massage. How does that sound?" It sounded heavenly, but I doubted I would get the massage.

I then felt concern coming from the back room. "Anna are you okay?" Dean asked. "Are they gone?" She answered with a question of her own. Did she have something to do with the angels being gone? I was happy they were so my concern at the moment was for her sounding weak like she had lost blood. "Did you kill them?" Dean asked. Well that answered one of my questions she did have something to do with them being gone. Sam, Ruby and I walked to the bathroom as Anna answered Dean's question; "No I just sent them away far away." He was wrapping up her bloody arm which answered my second question on her sounding weak. "But how did you do it?" I asked her looking at the mirror seeing the strange symbols she had drawn with her blood. She didn't seem to have heard me though so Dean asked, "Can you to tell me how?" Anna looked at the mirror and said, "I don't know how I did it. That just popped into my head. I don't know how I just did it." I looked at her even more freaked out about her than I was before. "Okay so am I the only one freaked out by little miss I just did it?" I asked.

Sam looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile. "Well I'm more curious than freaked out, but I can't feel her emotions like you can so..." Sam trailed off. I could feel his curiosity and Dean's as well although that wasn't all Dean was feeling for the girl. I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes. But then Dean's feelings turned to confusion as he looked at us. "Feel her emotions? What's Sam talking about Cassidy?" Dean asked. Well this isn't the way I wanted to tell him, but I guess now I have to. "Well Dean ya see the thing is, well I um I have always been more in tune with people's feeling than most. I was a very empathetic person and uh well when you got pulled from hell I went from being empathetic to being an empath I guess you could say. I don't know why and I'm still trying to figure it out." I replied. Dean looked at me and I knew he was no longer confused about what Sam was talking about, but I could tell he still had questions. However he decided not to ask them then and I was grateful because we had more important things to worry about.

With the angels gone everyone calmed down a little; we were still pretty tense and curious though. The angels definitely weren't what Sam and I had been expecting. We figured that out when they wanted to wipe out a town of innocents over one demon. This however drove home the fact that they were not at all what we thought they were. Everyone one of us was weary after all the confrontations we had been through and the story telling. Dean was feeling protective of Anna and I wasn't sure if it was because protecting the innocent is what we do or because he liked her. She was pretty so I couldn't blame him for liking her, I just didn't think it was a good idea since the angels were so gung ho to gank her. They last thing I wanted was for Dean to endure anymore pain than he already was. He was a good man and he didn't deserve what he was being put through, hell none of us did, but that's the life of a hunter.

We all walked back into the living room area of the cabin to sit down, take a breather, and hopefully figure things out. "So what do you guys think?" Dean asked once we settled down. "I think Anna is getting more interesting by the minute." Sam replied. I looked over at him and nodded. "I have to agree with Sam on this one. I mean the girl can hear angels, see demons and the angels want her dead. That's pretty interesting if you ask me. Not to mention the weird vibe I get from her that I've only ever gotten from the angels before." I said. Dean looked at me with a raised brow. I guess the fact I could feel emotions was still kind of weird to him. And I couldn't blame him for it. I'd been doing it for a while and still wasn't use to it how could he be? "Will get back to the things you feel in a bit. I agree with you guys. What did they mean by 'she's not innocent'?" Dean said. I was with him on that one; what did they mean? "I don't know Dean but I think it's more than her being able to hear them. I mean that blood spell, some pretty serious crap." Sam answered. He had a fair point blood spells where always serious. And the fact that she pulled it out of her head was just crazy.

"Something's going on with her. See what you can find out." Dean said. "What are you going to do?" Sam asked. I looked at Dean curious as to his answer. I could feel his emotions bouncing all over the place. He wanted to protect Anna and us, he was confused by Anna, and he was confused about me. The last one bothered me. I cared about these boys and I didn't want them confused about me or worried about what I could do. I was just glad that Sam understood. It warmed my heart to know I had him on my side. When Sam was focused on me and not everything else I could feel his understanding and his caring. I enjoyed feeling cared about again. I mean yeah Dean cared about me but now he has two people with powers hunting with him and he wasn't sure how to feel about it. "Anna may have sent the angels to the outfield, but sooner or later they're gonna be back. We got to make ourselves safe now." Dean answered. I was inclined to agree with Dean, we definitely needed to make ourselves safe.

We went back to the hotel and Sam got me the ibuprofen as promised, but there wasn't time for the massage. That is just so disappointing on so many different levels. I really wanted that massage because my head and neck were killing me, but also because I wanted Sam's hands on me. Sure I didn't plan on having sex with either of them because I didn't do one night stands, but I could admit both were extremely attractive. One would have to be blind not to see it. I let out a sigh causing same to look at me. "Hey you okay?" he asked. "Yeah I was just really looking forward to that massage you promised, damn angels." I replied. Sam chuckled and gave me a one armed hug causing me to smile. I also started to feel a warmth rush over me and pool in the pit of my stomach. Was that my arousal or his? Even I wasn't sure and I couldn't just ask him after all if something was going to happen I wanted to take it slow and enjoy every bit of it. "I made a promise and I plan to keep it. Once we get to Bobby's we will make the time." Sam told me. Dean had gone on ahead with Ruby and Anna which had me a little worried.

The Impala rumbled down the road feeling the silence with her beautiful purr. "Sam do you think Dean is mad at me?" I asked Sam. He chanced a quick glance at me before looking back at the road. "I don't think he's mad no and wouldn't you feel if he was?" Sam asked. I looked over at him knowing he was right. "Yeah you're right I didn't feel anger but he didn't exactly feel or act understanding. I'm just worried once he processes it all he won't want anything to do with me." I replied. Sam reached down and grabbed my hand to comfort me. I could feel how much he cared about me and how worried he was about what I was thinking. "Look Cassidy I can assure you that Dean cares way too much about you to stop caring and wanting to be around you over something like this." Sam told me flashing me a reassuring smile. What he said had definitely made me feel better. After all I would hate to lose Dean because of what I could do. I had grown so close to the boys and they meant the world to me along with Bobby. I had already had my world shattered once and I didn't want it to happen again.

Dean, Ruby and Anna went downstairs to the panic room once they got to Bobby's. He had a weekend free and built a room with iron walls that had salt ingrained into it along with sigils of all kinds to keep out ghost and such. Inside was a desk with a small table and a cot. Anna sat down in the chair and looked around. Dean was inside with her while Ruby stood outside the door. "Iron walls drenched in salt. Demons can't even touch the joint." Dean told Anna. That however only solved one of the problems we had; the panic room didn't keep out angels. "Which I find racist, by the way." Ruby said. "Write your congressmen." Dean replied. Ruby then handed Dean something. "Hex bags?" Dean asked. "Extra crunchy, they'll hide us from angels, demons, all-comers." Ruby replied. "Thanks Ruby." Dean said. Dean turned to Anna and handed a hex bag to her. "Here make sure you don't lose this. So Anna anything on angel radio?" Dean asked. "Its quiet absolute silence." She replied. "Well that isn't troubling at all." Dean said.

Sam and I had pulled in and got out of the car. Sam gave my hand one last squeeze reassuring me that things would be okay between Dean and me. "Hey Dean," Sam yelled. I could hear Dean telling Anna to stay were she was. He then came up the stairs and looked at us. "How's the car?" Dean asked. Of course he was worried about the car it was his baby after all. "I got her. She's fine. Where's Bobby?" Sam asked. Which I was wondering the same thing when we pulled up and I didn't see his car. "Uh, the Dominican; he said we break anything, we buy it" Dean answered. Okay that answers the question as to where he is at least. "He's working a job?" Sam asked. Dean's reply scared me as well as made me laugh. "God, I hope so. Otherwise, he's at hedonism in a banana hammock and a trucker cap." I looked at Dean and shook my head. "Thanks for the mental image Dean." I said as sarcastically as possible.

"Look before you guys go telling me what you found on Anna there's something that needs to be said." Dean said looking at me. His feelings were all over the place from confusion to acceptance, to caring to anger, back to acceptance so I had no idea how this was going to play out. "Cassidy I'm pissed you didn't tell me sooner since you clearly felt the need to tell Sam. However I want to understand this because I care about you. So explain to me how this happened and why Sam knew and I didn't." Dean practically demanded. I couldn't blame him for wanting answers not really.

I let out a huge sigh and Sam grabbed my hand before I finally replied; "Dean I'm not really sure how to explain it to be honest with you. Growing up I could tell how people felt by their body language and the tone of their voice; when you got pulled from hell however I actually started feeling peoples' emotions. I don't know why and it freaks me the hell out. I've been trying to find answers with no luck so far." Dean looked at me thinking trying to sort the information given to him. He was no longer confused on what I could do, only how like Sam and me.

"Okay then how about why Sam knew and I didn't?" Dean asked. He was feeling pretty angry that I had told Sam and not him, which I could understand, didn't mean I had to like it. Sam gave my hand a squeeze and I could feel how much he cared about me as well as how much he hoped Dean would understand. "Remember when Sam was pushing you about hell?" I asked. Dean nodded so I continued. "I told Sam that the pain you felt was still too near and that the nightmares were bothering you too much for you to be able to talk. When he asked how I knew what you were feeling I had no choice but to explain it to him. I wanted to tell you then what was going on, but you were stressed out enough as it was. I didn't want to add me having some power that I don't understand on you as well." Dean let out a sigh and his anger started to dissipate. He walked over giving me a hug making me ecstatic that he had forgiven me and understood. "Alright chick-flick moment over." Dean said letting me go. We all had a small laugh glad things were okay between us.
