Authors Notes: Alright, I know you all want to see how I put together the episode Ghostfacers with the girls but I'm giving you about three extra chapters for the aftermath of Jus In Bello and you will find out more on Gabrielle. Remember when I said Gabriel/The Trickster would be in more than how he didn't show back up until Changing Channels? Yeah. Just thought I'd remind you...haha ;)

ANYWAYS ONTO THE CHAPTER ~


Gabrielle opened the door to the bathroom, she walked in and then stood in front of the sink and looked in the mirror. She looked into her blue-green hazel eyes. She was still trying to process everything that had just happened in the last twenty-four hours. She reached up to her bandage on her head, taking it off she caressed the now scar on her head. Although, it was fully healed. She knew this wasn't right. What was happening to her?

What exactly happened back there when she killed the demon? What had she released out inside of her? Was it what she had been holding in all along? Was it what Ruby had told her demons feared of? That she could actually kill them with her bare hands? And now she was able to heal herself? How come this was all on her? Why? What made her so important?

She jumped, hearing the front door open and then she quickly put the bandage back onto the healed scar. She turned to walk out of the bathroom where she jumped, Sam's hands moved up to her shoulders and he leaned his head to the side, "Elle, you alright?"

Gabrielle nodded, moving her hand up to her forehead and running her hand through her hair, "Yeah, I'm-I'm okay."

Sam gave her a sympathetic smile and moved his hands off of Gabrielle's shoulders and to his side. Gabrielle walked past him and he turned and watched her, following her over to the bed and they sat down on the edge, "So, you killed the demon, huh?"

Gabrielle nodded slowly, "Yeah...it happened so fast, too. I-I didn't realize it'd be over so quick like that." It had happened fast, though. The light had came out of no where and then it was gone like that and the demon was dead.

Sam gave Gabrielle a smile, nodding and looking down to the ground, "Yeah, when Dean and I killed Yellow Eyes it was fast, I couldn't believe we had done it." Gabrielle looked over at Sam, squinting her eyes at Sam, who half laughed and turned his head to Gabrielle, "I can't believe it's already been almost a year now. I mean, we searched for that damn demon our whole lives and then, it was over. Just like that."

Gabrielle sighed, looking down at the ground, "It feels like the first time we took care of him, at least then I thought we had officially taken care of him. That everything was over."

"Sorry...about that."

Gabrielle looked back up at Sam, shaking her head, "Sam, don't be. The demon coming back out of hell wasn't your fault." She sighed, they were silent for a moment, "So...how's my sister?"

"She's fine and so is the baby, although the doctors are keeping her in the hospital overnight to keep an eye on them for observation, just encase." Gabrielle smiled, knowing the two were alright. She then sighed and stood up from the bed, Sam lifted his head up and raised an eyebrow as she walked over and grabbed her duffel on the floor and putting it on the table, "Elle, what's going on?"

Gabrielle sighed, turning around to look at Sam, "Sam, something had happened to me back there when I fought the demon...I-I have to go home. I need to research on some things." She answered, then turned around and started to pick up her clothes on the floor and stuff them in her duffel.

Sam blinked in confusion, tilting his head to the side, then he stood up, "Here, how about I take you? I can help."

Gabrielle stopped putting her clothes in the duffel, looking down. She didn't want Sam to help, she didn't want him knowing. She didn't know herself what was going on with her and the one person that did know about what she really was wasn't on good terms with Sam. She had to go alone, "Sam, I have to do this alone. This has to deal with my family." She replied, then zipped up her duffel. Sam stared at Gabrielle, he didn't want to protest and begin a fight. She gave him a half smile before leaning up and giving him a quick kiss and then he watched her leave out the door.

Liz laid down on her side (the side that wasn't wounded) and her head rested on her arms that laid on the pillow. Dean sat in the chair next to the bed and ran his hand across Liz's forehead, pushing her hair back behind her ear. Liz sighed, turning onto her back and Dean raised an eyebrow, "Hey, what's up?"

Liz was quiet, she kept thinking about what happened when she saw Gabrielle kill the demon. How she saw that light come from Gabrielle's hands before she had collapsed under conscious again. She sighed, not making eye contact with Dean, "Dean, something happened back there, when Gabby and I tried to escape."

Dean squinted his brows and then he sat straight up in his chair,"What'd you see?"

Liz huffed, shaking her head and looking away, "You'd think I was crazy."

Dean half laughed, "We're all a little bit crazy."

Liz sighed, looking back over at Dean, "She killed the demon that attacked us."

"Yeah, she exorcised it."

Liz shook her head, "No." She replied, sitting up in the bed, "She killed it with her bare hands." Dean's eyes squinted, "Dean, I saw a bright white light come out of her hands and as quick as it came, it was gone." Dean tilted his head to the side, "There's something wrong with my sister, first it was her visions...now this."

Dean shook his head, then took his hand and put it over Liz's hand that laid on the bed, "Are you sure?"

"Positive." Liz replied, looking into Dean's eyes seriously, "It wasn't the black smoke from the demon, I know it wasn't. It was white."

Dean curled his lips in, biting his bottom lip not knowing exactly what to make of what Liz had saw. Then he uncurled his lips and looked up, hearing a knock on the door and Sam walking in with the food he got from the store for Liz, "Hey, what's going on?"

Liz looked over and gave Sam a smile, "Just...talking." She replied, luckily unlike Dean, Sam couldn't tell when she was hiding something.

"Alright...Oh! I got your watermelon chunks you asked for." Sam said, as he walked over to grab a chair and pull it over to the bedside and then he pulled the carton of watermelon chunks out of the bag and handing them to Liz, who sat up and smiled brightly and grabbed the carton away.

"Thanks Sam, really."

Sam gave Liz over a smile, "Hey, that's my niece or nephew in there. Least I can do is make sure they're healthy and fed." Liz smiled back over at him, then she began to eat the watermelon chunks.

"So, Sam, where's Elle?" Dean decided he would bring up and ask, seeing that Gabrielle hadn't come back since she had left.

Sam shrugged, "She just went off, said she was going home. Have you guys noticed she's been weird lately?"

Liz coughed, Dean and Sam quickly turned to her to see if she was okay but she wasn't coughing on the watermelon chunk it was the fact that Sam had mentioned if they'd notice Gabrielle acting off. Sam then squinted his eyebrows and looked over at Dean seeing that Liz put down the carton of watermelon chunks and was silent. Dean sighed, "Actually, we were just talking about that."

Sam blinked, sitting straight up in his chair and then looking over at Liz, who sighed and looked over at Sam, "Sam, somethings wrong with my sister."

Sam sighed, looking down and biting his cheek then he looked back up at Liz, "Does it have anything to do with what happened between her and the demon?"

Liz squinted her eyebrows, tilting her head to the side, 'What did she tell you?"

Sam shook his head, "Nothing." He replied, taking his hand and running it through his hair to push his bangs back a little, "She was quiet about it, didn't say much. I mean, I guess she was having trouble processing she killed it, after all it was the demon that killed your parents and Mark."

Liz's eyes widened, sitting straight up in the bed and then she looked quickly over at Dean, "You didn't tell me that."

Dean sighed, "I was going to." Liz then looked straight, trying to take it all in. The demon that killed her parents and Mark was dead, gone. Again. Dean put his hand on Liz's shoulder, "You alright?"

"I-I don't know. I mean, I thought I was going to take him on this time after what he had done to Mark. I was suppose to have revenge on his death, not Gabby." Dean gave Liz a half smile, Liz just shook her head and huffed, "Wow. I can't believe it, he's actually gone now."

In her head she kept replaying back the night John had helped her and Gabrielle take down the demon. That feeling she felt after she had thought he was gone the first time, how not long after they took care of him she went off with Mark to start a new life thinking everything was over and she could settle down.

"Eh, don't get too comfy. There's still things out there that want to take a bite at ya." Dean replied, patting Liz's shoulder.

Liz snorted, "Yeah, thanks for reminding me."

Dean held his hands up in defense, "Just trying to be truthful." Liz rolled her eyes and Sam half laughed.

Gabrielle opened the Trans Am's door, getting out of it and standing up, looking out towards the cometary she had parked by. She bit her cheek, debating on going any farther. This was the cometary where her parents were buried. She hadn't been there in a long time, at least ever since she went off to Stanford. She sighed, deciding she'd take some steps forward. She shut the Trans Am's door and then proceeded towards the graves and then stopped once she hit the grave mark for her parents, reading stone out of the ground. One side read her mother's name Lorraine Alexandria Corvelle and next to it read her father's name Luke Michael Corvelle.

Gabrielle knelled down, putting her hand on the grave stone. Biting her bottom lip and then she breathed in, "Hey, mom, dad..." She paused, trying to think of what exactly to say to them. She hadn't been here in a few years when he used to come here almost every week, "I know I haven't been here in a long time, I'm sorry about that. Some things happened in the last few years, um...I went to Stanford, actually," She chuckled, "My grades were so well that I got a full ride."

Gabrielle paused, deciding she'd sit down on the lawn Indian style, "But, um...Liz's husband, Mark, he was killed by the demon who killed you guys. I've been hunting with her again, you remember when I told you about Bobby training me, right? Well, anyways..." Gabrielle trailed off, looking down at the ground and picking out some of the grass, "We met back up with Sam and Dean Winchester, um...Liz is pregnant again, Dean's been taking care of her, but he's suppose to go to Hell in a few months. He had sold his soul to bring Sam back from the dead."

Gabrielle paused, looking back up at the gravestone and her parents names, she could feel the tears coming in her eyes, "Mom, Dad, the real reason I came here is I don't know what I'm becoming. I-I was hoping you'd give me some sort of sign, to help. Ya know? I mean, the other day I killed a demon with my bare hands. I've been having visions of people close to me dying and now I'm suddenly able to heal myself." Tears started to fall down Gabrielle's face, "I-I don't know what's happening to me. There's some sort of plan, but I don't even know what the plan is for me!"

Gabrielle sniffled, looking up to the sky and wiping the tears from her eyes and then she looked back down at the gravestone, "If you could just give me some sort of sign, let me know everything's going to be okay. That's really all I need."

Gabrielle paused, then stood up from the ground and taking one last look at the her parent's names carved in the gravestone. She half smiled, then she turned around and walked away back to the Trans Am. She was scared, scared of losing it completely. She had no idea what was happening to her and no one could help.

Sam and Dean still sat in the hospital room, Liz had fallen asleep now. Dean thought this was his moment to talk to Sam privately about Gabrielle, "Sam." Dean whispered, so he wouldn't wake up Liz and moved his head in motion towards the hallway before standing up from his chair and walking out of the room. Sam squinted his eyebrows, watching his brother leave and then he got up from his chair and followed Dean out of the room.

Dean looked back into the room, to make sure that Liz was still sleeping and they hadn't woke her with their movement. He didn't want her to hear what him and Sam had to talk about, "Dean, what's wrong?" Sam asked, seeing how odd Dean was acting and making sure that Liz wasn't anywhere near to listen into anything they had to say.

Dean turned to Sam, "There's something going on with Elle."

Sam huffed, it wasn't like they just talked about this earlier or anything, "Yeah, I know that."

"You wanna know what Lizzie told me what she saw back there?"

Sam crossed his arms, standing straight up, "What?"

"She said she saw a bright light come out from Elle's hands and then the demon was dead, there was no exorcism done." Sam blinked, his head going back a little bit, "Now, I have no clue what the hell is going on with your girlfriend, but she's not Elle anymore."

Sam sighed, seeing that Dean was jumping to concluding that Gabrielle was now some sort of monster and she wasn't herself anymore, "Dean, it's still her."

Dean shook his head, after hearing what Liz had told him he was worried, "I'm sorry, but I don't think that anymore."

Sam narrowed his eyes on Dean, uncrossing his arms, "And why not?"

"She killed that demon with her bare hands, Sam! Since when has that even been humanly possible?"

"So, what now? You think she's some kind of monster?"

Dean sighed, running his hand through his hair and shaking his head with a shrug of his shoulders, "I don't even know what to say she is."

"Dean, this is Elle we're talking about here. She's still the same girl that we grew up with since we were kids. She's helped our asses more than a hundred times." Dean knew Sam was right, she helped them out more than he could even count, he shouldn't think she'd turn on them, but he was just worried, "She's just...changing."

Dean huffed, rolling his eyes, "Oh, yeah, if it makes you feel better saying it that way. Sam, this isn't some sort of female problem she's having. It's a whole other level of changing." He didn't want to think of the possibility of even being afraid of Gabrielle and what she could do, but he was starting to. If she was changing into something, something that could be dangerous and a threat to him, he wouldn't want her around, especially not around Liz and the baby.

Sam sighed, knowing Dean was worried about Liz's safety. He didn't believe something bad was happening with Gabrielle, he didn't want to because he loved her and he didn't want to see her go like everyone else he had ever loved has, "Alright, here, I'll talk to her about everything, okay? Don't start jumping to anything before hand."

"Look, Sam, if she's going dark side I don't want her around Liz and the baby."

Sam looked at Dean with a glare, "Oh, so does that mean you don't want me around her and the baby too? Because if I remember, you said I was going to go dark side."

"Yeah, but you didn't!"

"And Elle's not going to either. You can trust me on this." Dean curled in his lips, bitting the bottom one and Sam looked Dean straight in the eyes, "Trust me."

Dean uncurled his lips, looking back into Sam's eyes and then he sighed and nodded, "Alright, alright. I'll let you deal with everything, but if she starts showing any kind of bad vibe-"

"I'll deal with her, okay?" Sam replied, cutting Dean off. Dean looked back up into Sam's eyes, Sam giving him a quick half reassuring smile and then he looked back into the room, looking at Liz as she slept. He just wanted her and the baby to be safe, that was all. He would protect them at all costs, even if he had to keep Liz away from her own sister, "Dean." Dean blinked and then moved his eyes back at Sam, "Don't have Liz worry, just tell her everything will be okay. She needs to worry about the baby's health instead of Elle."

Dean nodded, "Yeah, okay." He replied, before turning and walking back into the room.

Sam sighed, he didn't know what to do. What if Gabrielle was turning into something and she couldn't control herself? He didn't want to have to be left to kill her. It'd be like Madison all over again, he couldn't allow that. Gabrielle had been his best friend since he was nearly seven years old, most of his memories from his childhood have her in them. He didn't want her to just be another memory, he didn't want her to wind up like Jessica or Madison. He would save her, with whatever it took of him. He wasn't going to let her go.

Bobby perked his head up from the book he was reading, hearing from outside from what he was sure was the engine of the Trans Am, he smiled figuring that Liz and Gabrielle were back. He closed his book and got up from the desk, he would've yelled for them when he heard them walk in, but he just put Robby for his evening nap and if that boy woke up it'd be a while until he could manage to get the boy back to sleep. He walked through the hallway, up towards the front door and opened it, although he was surprised to see just Gabrielle getting her duffel out of the Trans Am's trunk.

Gabrielle looked up, giving Bobby a smile as she heard the front door open. She closed the trunk and walked through the front yard, throwing the duffel over her shoulder, "Hey, Bobby." She greeted him.

"Glad to see your home, girl." He greeted back, giving Gabrielle a quick hug before opening the door and letting her walk in and then he walked behind her, "So, where's your sister at?" He asked, knowing that Liz never let Gabrielle take the Trans Am unless she was held up someone or Gabrielle went off herself.

"We got caught up in some trouble." Gabrielle replied, as they walked through the living room.

"What kind of trouble are we talkin' 'bout here?"

Gabrielle sighed, throwing the duffel over to the couch and then she turned around to Bobby who stood in the living room entrance, "Bela had turned us in, we got ambushed by demons at this police station. To make the story short, Liz got hurt."

"Well it'd be nice if you could tell me if she's alright."

"She's fine, Bobby. Dean and Sam are at the hospital with her, don't know how long the doctors will keep her in, though. She had got shot in the hip."

"The baby?"

"Surprisingly, fine." Bobby took a sigh in relief, he didn't want to her that Dean and Liz had lost the baby. He knew that they really wanted it, probably Liz more than Dean.

"So, why'd you leave them there?"

Gabrielle sighed, looking away from Bobby, "Something happened back there." She answered, as she turned and walked over to the couch and sat down.

Bobby raised an eyebrow, "Exactly what did happen?"

Gabrielle was silent, looking down to the ground and then she brought her hands together and rested them on her legs, "To be honest, I really don't know how to explain what did happen." Gabrielle sighed, then stood up from the couch and grabbed her duffel, "Look, I need some time to myself." She said, walking past Bobby and going upstairs to her room.

Gabrielle opened the door to her room, throwing the duffel towards the middle of the floor and then walking straight to her bed and crashing down in it since she was tired. She was glad to be back in her own bed, not some uncomfortable motel bed that god knows who had slept on it or what people have done on it. She closed her eyes, to fall into a deep sleep.

"Nice room you got here, Ellie." Gabrielle's eyes widened straight open, hearing the voice and then sat straight up in the bed to see The Trickster, he was standing at the side of her room looking at a few awards she had on her dresser. The Trickster turned around and smiled at her.

Gabrielle got out of the bed, standing her ground, glaring down at him. Not realizing that she was actually dreaming, "What are you doing here?"

The Trickster held up his hands, "Woah, slow down there cowgirl. I just came to talk." Gabrielle stood straight up, but she was still on alert, this was the Trickster after all, "Heard about how you took care of that demon with your bare hands, nice." Gabrielle just narrowed her eyes on him, still silent, "And, aren't you starting to heal yourself now?"

Gabrielle breathed in, "I bet you won't tell me though what's going on with me, will you?"

"No, sorry." Gabrielle rolled her eyes, the Trickster gave Gabrielle over a smile, "Ellie, how much do you know on your family?"

Gabrielle raised an eyebrow at the question, she never knew much on her family, then again she never asked Bobby about the rest of her family, "Everyone's dead, for all I know."

"See, that's where you're wrong. Your grandfather on your father's side, yeah, he's still alive and kicking." Gabrielle's eyes widened, was her grandfather really alive? The Trickster nodded his head, walking up towards Gabrielle, "You see, your grandfather, he never wanted anything to do with you girls. He could've taken you in when your parents died, but he left that to Bobby instead."

"You're lying."

The Trickster gave Gabrielle a smile, "Oh, am I?" He walked up closer, pulling out a small piece of paper and taking Gabrielle's hand, putting the piece of paper in her hand and curling it back up. Gabrielle looked back up at him, "Go to this address, it's about, eh, a day's drive, without pit stopping. You'll find your answers there."

Gabrielle's eyes shot open, realizing she had been dreaming. She felt something in her hand and she brought it up, opening it and then the piece of paper fell onto the bed. She sat up slowly in the bed, grabbing the piece of paper and then looking at the address. Why was the Trickster telling her to go there? Was she sure she could trust him or was he setting her up for something?
