Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural! I only own this idea and my two OC's!

With a smile on her face, Lily ran out to the black Impala parked just outside of the gate and watched Sam pack the trunk with the box and bags that Eleanor had packed the night before. Inside, Eleanor and Dean were still eating breakfast. Lily had awoken them quite early and Eleanor had gone up to make breakfast for her and the Winchester's while Dean stayed in bed. Sam had already been out on his usual jogging trip and was already dressed when she met him in the kitchen. He and Lily had then proceeded to watch TV until breakfast was done.

"More coffee?" asked Eleanor earning a nod from Dean, his sleepy eyes looking over at her and watching her walk over to the coffee machine before pouring some of the liquid into his mug.

"You know," said Dean, swallowing the piece of pancake he had been chewing on before continuing. "You've really have created a nice home here."

Eleanor sat down again and looked over at Dean. "It's the apple pie life, right?"

"Yes…" said Dean, looking down at his plate.

"You're not having second thought about me and Lily moving to Bobby's, right?" asked Eleanor, earning a shake of Dean's head. It both relieved her and saddened her. Being here was dangerous now since there apparently were demons around the neighbourhood who still hadn't decided to attack any of them.

"No. Of course not. You'll be safer there," said Dean before looking down at his plate again, his face telling Eleanor that there was something more to it.

"But?" she asked.

"I just wish I could've been a part of her first years as well," said Dean, not looking up from his plate as he continued to eat.

A tension built up in the kitchen after his words, leaving Eleanor quiet and with no appetite anymore. She pushed her plate away and sighed, noticing how Dean avoided looking over at her. She knew he was upset about her lying to him and she knew that it was going to take forever until he actually forgave her.

"All set," said Sam, entering the kitchen with Lily in tow.

"Great," said Eleanor, faking a smile as she quickly moved her cup of tea to her lips.

"I helped!" exclaimed Lily, earning a chuckle from Sam as he nodded his head.

"You sure did. Come here," said Sam as he sat down, gesturing for Lily to come over to him.

When she did, he lifted her up onto his lap before looking over at Dean and Eleanor. In Lily's hands, she held her favourite stuffed animal; a little pig that was no larger than Sam's hand. She held it close to her as she leaned back against Sam before starting to play with it, having it walk on the kitchen table while she quietly talked to herself.

"Is something wrong?" asked Sam, obviously picking up on the tension in the room.

"No," replied Dean quickly, looking over at Sam and then at Lily, smiling. "Why are you asking?"

"Just… never mind," he said, glancing at Eleanor who hadn't replied to his question nor reacted.

Not much later, the four of them were seated in the car and on their way to Bobby's. The ride would take about two days which meant that they were going to have to stay on a motel in between the nights. Something that Eleanor wasn't too happy about since she didn't want Lily to sleep in those dirty beds though she didn't really have a choice.

Leaving the house had been easier then she had thought. It hurt a little to look at it for the last time but she managed to stay strong. The house wouldn't be for sale. Instead, she would abandon it. It had been bought under a false ID so abandoning it wouldn't affect her. Someone else would buy it and people would most likely be selling her furniture soon enough to the neighbours.

Something about being back on the road with the Winchester's made her slightly happy about leaving the house as well. After all, these two boys where the two she had spent most of her life with and being reunited with them was a joyful moment for her.

From the back of the car, Eleanor could see Dean glancing back at Lily from time to time through the rear-view mirror. She smiled at this, knowing he was keeping an eye on Lily.

"Dude," said Sam, about two hours into the road trip. "You're driving like ten miles under the speed limit."

"I know," replied Dean, shrugging.

"Usually it's at least twenty miles over the speed limit," said Sam, looking at his brother with a confused look on his face.

"Yeah, I know," replied Dean again as Lily stirred in her sleep, placing the little stuffed pig closer against her chest. Dean looked into his rear-view mirror again which caused Sam to look back to Lily and then back at his brother again.

"Are you driving extra carefully because Lily's in the car?" asked Sam, causing Dean to glance over at him.

"You better be!" said Eleanor, earning a scoff from Dean.

"I'm not. I just… I just feel like being safe," he said, his face revealing loud and clear that Sam had busted him.

"Whatever you say, Dean," replied Sam, chuckling quietly as he shook his head.

When it was past lunchtime, Dean had to refill the tank which let them all have a break from sitting in the car. Eleanor let Lily loose from the child proof car seat and let her walk side by side of her to the bathroom. It had been one of the grossest toilets she had seen but they both needed to go quite badly.

When they were finished Eleanor lifted Lily up in order for her to be able to reach up to the tap and wash her hands and as the water splashed over Lily's hands, the doors to the women's bathroom opened, revealing two women entering. They both wore leather jackets and pants and helmets on top of their heads. It was easy for Eleanor to see that they rode on motorbikes though that wasn't the thing that she noticed first. The fact that they hadn't removed their helmets before entering the bathroom was what caused Eleanor to tense up.

"Mommy," said Lily after having waited for her mother to put her down for quite some time now.

The two women walked past Eleanor and Lily as Eleanor quickly dried her daughter's hands with a few handkerchiefs that she had brought with her. There was something off with the two women and she didn't like it.

"Let's go, sweety," said Eleanor right before both women, who now were standing in front of a mirror each, turned their heads to look at Eleanor and Lily only causing Eleanor to hurry even more out through the door.

Dean and Sam were leaning against the side of the Impala when they returned. They were both panting as Eleanor had dragged Lily away from there and run back to the car.

"Jeez… did you run a marathon or something?" asked Dean, raising an eyebrow.

"Let's just go," said Eleanor, lifting Lily up and quickly putting her back in her car seat.

"What happened?" asked Sam, noticing her tense form.

"There were two shady looking women in there," said Eleanor, shaking her head as she closed the car door before taking a deep breath and calming herself down.

"Darling, have you seen this place?" said Dean, gesturing towards the gas station placed in the middle of nowhere. There were barely any customers in sight apart from them and the two women who by now had exited the bathroom again, standing by two large motorbikes. "Shady people are the only people who come here. Except us hunters."

"Look, can we just go?" asked Eleanor through gritted teeth, having discussed the matter enough and simply wanting to leave the place.

To her, it didn't matter if the two women were demons or not. The only thing that bothered her was this road trip and the danger she was putting Lily in. It was going against her promise that she had made back in her youth and it was eating her conscious up inside of her.

Dean simply nodded, exchanging a look with Sam before sitting down in his car.

Five hours later, Dean pulled up towards a motel that lay right next to the highway. Apart from the highway, there wasn't much more surrounding the motel apart from the dark forest. It didn't take them long to get two rooms, one for Dean and Sam and one for Eleanor and Lily, and soon they were all sitting in Eleanor's motel room, relaxing after the long day.

"Oh, I called Bobby this morning," said Dean as he sat down on the bed with a beer in his hands. "He said he was fine with you staying with him."

"You hadn't talked with him about it earlier?" asked Eleanor, she and Sam sitting at the small round table for two, each with a beer in their hands and Sam having his laptop in front of him.

"No," shrugged Dean, taking another sip of his beer.

Next to Dean's feet, Lily was sitting, drawing circles and doodles on a piece of paper with some crayons. She was completely concentrated and barely even noticed her surroundings. Dean looked down at her and smiled a fond smile.

"I simply wanted her to be safe," said Dean, earning smiles from both Sam and Eleanor.

The moment was interrupted by Dean's phone ringing. He sighed and took the phone out of his pocket with his free hand, raising an eyebrow when he saw who it was and answering it quickly.

"Hello?"

The room was silent for a while as Dean listened to whoever had called him. Eleanor and Sam watched his expression turn from curious to worried and they both tensed.

"Then just zap here and help! I've got my daughter here," he exclaimed, causing Lily to look up at him. "How?"

He quickly stood up and walked over to the one window in the room, looking out through it before closing the curtains.

"Yeah well, you better," said Dean before hanging up.

Eleanor stood up and walked over to him, putting a hand on his arm. "Who was that?"

"Cas… he said that we're surrounded by freaking demons," said Dean, shrugging off Eleanor's hand and walking over to Lily.

"What?" asked Sam and Eleanor at the same time.

"He can't reach us because of some weird barrier thing that they've risen," said Dean, crouching down on the floor next to Lily and starting to pick up her crayons and paper earning a confused look from the child. "We gotta go."

"Where to?" asked Sam as Eleanor walked over to him, her heart beating fast and her hands shaking. This was exactly what she had been worried about would happen. Demons finding her and Lily and wanting to hurt them.

"Anywhere. Just away from her," said Dean, placing the crayons and paper in the small bag that belonged to Lily before standing up and turning to Eleanor and Sam.

"But we're surrounded. We can't leave without them knowing," said Sam. "How did they even find us? We're protected."

"You still own the hex bag we gave you?" asked Dean walking up to Eleanor.

"Yeah. It's in my bag but… I don't think that's how they found us," said Eleanor, looking down at the floor.

"Go on," said Dean.

"An hour or two before you arrived yesterday I met this old lady. I'd seen her before a couple times but I'd never really spoken to her. Well, she started talking to me and… she knew my real name," said Eleanor. "She even knew Lily's name."

"Did you use your own name?" asked Dean, his voice sounding stressed.

"No. I never do," said Eleanor, shaking her head. "She was a demon. Her eyes turned black."

"Shit…" said Sam, running a hand through his hair.

"So they had already tracked you down?" asked Dean, taking a deep breath when Eleanor nodded her head.

"I don't understand," said Sam as Dean walked over to their bags. "What do they want with the two of you?"

"My biggest question is why they didn't simply grab us like normal demons do," said Eleanor, shaking her head as she walked over to Lily.

"These aren't just any kind of demons," said Dean as he watched Eleanor pick up Lily. "These are Crowley's demons. According to Cas."

"Crowley? Who's Crowley?" asked Eleanor, holding her child close to her.

"A douchebag. We need to leave," said Dean, throwing Sam's bag to Sam and keeping Lily's, Eleanor's and his in his hands when suddenly, a white light appeared from outside.

"Cas…" whispered Eleanor, remembering what it looked like when angels took out demons with their bare hands.

"Now," ushered Dean as he threw the demon knife to Sam before placing his free hand on Eleanor's back.
