Ella awoke gently, the sun lit cabin still quiet in the early morning. Sitting up slowly to avoid waking Jake, she rubbed at her gritty eyes and decided she needed coffee. NOW.
Carefully climbing over the back of the couch, she padded towards the kitchen. She opened the small fridge to find it completely empty, bar the six pack of cheap beer.
She closed it quietly, swearing under her breath, looks like she'll be waiting for food, and coffee. Deciding against grabbing a beer to tie her over, Ella walks towards the research board in the corner of the room.
It was covered by a bunch of different papers and research notes, all of them focused on leviathan.
After spending twenty minutes reading through the assorted notes, Ella had memorised all the weaknesses of a leviathan, and how few there were. She walked towards the duffel bags thrown haphazardly on the floor, searching through them. After sorting through dirty laundry and discovering several copies of Busty Asian Beauties, she found the primary weapons bag. There were surprisingly few weapons in it, only the most important of the hunter's tools visible, so the majority of the weapons were probably kept elsewhere- most likely in their car.
She grabbed what she needed, before heading outside, picking up her shoes as she went.
Ella walked outside and stood next to a gleaming black classic car that she paused to appreciate, she then bowed her head to pray.
"Come on, Cas," she murmured, "You've stranded me here, and I need to get back. Please."
There was a flutter of wings and Cas appeared in front of her.
"Why do you need to go home?" Cas asked, studying Ella.
"I need to sort some things out. Then I'll stay wherever you want me to. But I need to do this." Ella spoke softly, her voice filled with desperation.
Cas's brows drew together in worry, "You want to kill the leviathan that attacked you."
Ella nodded slowly, "Please, Cas."
"Okay, but I won't be fighting." Cas relented.
Ella nodded quickly, "Okay. Can we go now?" She was worried Jake would wake up and try to stop her.
Cas grasped her shoulder and transported them back to the house.
Jake rolled over, stretching out on the couch. Cracking his eyes open, he looked around the small cabin, not seeing his best friend anywhere.
He sat up quickly, his stomach tightening in anxiety.
He stood up and strained his ears for any sound of Ella, and heard soft voices coming from outside.
He walked towards the front door quickly and silently, reaching the porch just as Ella and Cas disappeared.
"Ella!" He shouted, but she was already gone.
He ran back inside, barging into the hunter's bedroom.
Both were awake in seconds, grabbing for weapons.
The shorter one- Dean was it? - had Jake up against the wall immediately, silver blade against his throat. "What the hell do you think you're doing in here, Fido?"
"Get off me!" Jake growled, his eyes flashing angrily.
Sam pulled his brother back, stepping between the skinwalker and the hunter.
"Dean, stop it! He wasn't trying to hurt us." Dean sheathed the knife, but continued to glare at Jake.
"What do you want, Jake?" Sam asked calmly in an attempt to defuse the tension in the room.
"Ella's gone. Your fucking angel took her." Jake spat, his hands curling into fits.
Sam was surprised at the news, but knew Cas would never hurt Ella. He seemed to genuinely like her. "I'm sure she's okay. Cas wouldn't hurt her."
"No! You don't understand! She's gone to hunt the thing that has her Dad." Jake ground out, concern etched into his features.
Sam and Dean shared a glance before Sam spoke, "I'm sorry, Jake. But we can't get there without Cas and he's with Ella. You just need to have faith in her abilities."
"But she hasn't gone hunting without me for three years! She'll get hurt!" Jake said leaving the small bedroom and sitting down on the couch, his head in his hands.
Suddenly the sound of wing filled the cabin and both Ella and Cas appeared in the middle of the tiny living room.
Ella was covered in thick black blood, and in her hands she was holding what appeared to be her father's head but with the amount of black blood dripping from it, Jake doubted that.
"Ella!" Jake ran towards her, not sure if he wanted to shake her or hug her.
"Hey Jake." She greeted him tiredly, before collapsing Cas catching her before she could hit the floor.
