Authoress Note: Welcome to Chapter 9 of See You Again. Thank you to all who have left reviews for this story it really does mean a lot to me. I know that Andi's development is taking some time through this story, but I promise there will be more back story on her in future chapters and even that through this entire series. Without further ado Chapter 9.
Chapter 9
Returning Home
Dean sat at the table using Sam's laptop, while Sam was on his bed drawing something on one of the memo note pads from the motel that they were staying at, and Andi was on the couch reading a book with her lips pursed together, her hand tangled into her hair.
"Alright." Dean said looking up from the computer screen. "I've been cruising some websites. I think I found a few candidates for our next gig. A fishing trawler found off the coast of Cali… its crew vanished. And, uh, we got some cattle mutilations in West Texas."
Andi looked up from her book listening to what Dean was saying and she noticed Sam wasn't listening to what Dean was saying he was still drawing on the memo pad.
"Hey." Dean called to Sam.
Sam looked up from his drawing.
"Am I boring you with this hunting evil stuff?" Dean asked agitated.
"No." Sam said shaking his head. "I'm listening. Keep going."
"And here, a Sacramento man shot himself in the head. Three times." Dean noticed that Sam wasn't paying attention again. He got up and waved his hand in front of Sam's face.
Andi pursed her lips together in a thin line looking at the younger brother concerned. She couldn't help, but wonder what was going on in his mind.
"Any of these things blowing up your skirt, pal?"
Sam looked at the picture he drew. "Wait. I've seen this."
"Seen what?" Andi asked looking at Sam voicing her confusion.
Sam got up off of the bed and went to his duffel bag. He began to go through his duffel bag.
"What are you doing?"
Sam found an old photograph of their family when he was a baby. He began to compare them. "I know where we have to go next."
"Where?" Dean asked looking at Sam.
"Back home… back to Kansas."
"Okay, random. Where'd that come from?" Dean questioned his brother looking at him with a worried look.
Andi put her book down onto the couch with a concerned look. She knew that Kansas was a bad place for the Winchesters to talk about. John never wanted to talk about it. It was kind of a forbidden rule to not talk about it.
Sam came over to Dean and showed the photo to him. "Alright, um this photo was taken in front of our old house, right? The house where Mom died?"
"Yeah." Dean said nodding his head stiffly confirming what Sam was asking him.
"And it didn't burn down right? I mean, not completely, they rebuilt it, right?"
"I guess so, yeah. What the hell are you talking about?" Dean questioned his brother in confusion.
"Uh… it's just, um… look, just trust me on this, okay?" Sam said walking away.
"Sam…. what's going on?" Andi asked getting up from the couch.
"Trust you?" Dean questioned following Sam.
"Yeah." Sam said nodding his head.
"Come on, man, that's weak. You gotta give us a bit more than that." Dean said giving his brother a look. "You just can't just tell us to trust you on this."
Andi nodded her head in confirmation. "Come on Sam. What's really going on."
"I can't really explain it is all."
"Well, tough. We're not going anywhere until you do."
Sam let out a sigh rubbing his face.
Andi crossed her arms her brows furrowing in concern.
"I have these nightmares." Sam said softly.
"We've noticed." Dean said nodding his head.
"And sometimes… they come true."
Andi looked at him concerned. "Repeat that." She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Sam had nightmares that came true? That revelation was like having cold water dumped on her. Who would have nightmares that came true? No one she had ever heard of had nightmares like that.
"Look, I dreamt about Jessica's death… for days before it happened." Sam told them softly looking at them with tear filled eyes.
"Sam," Dean said looking at his brother with a soft look, "people have weird dreams, man. I'm sure it's just a coincidence." He sat down on the bed looking up at his brother.
"No, I dreamt about the blood dripping, her on the ceiling, the fire, everything, and I didn't do anything about it because I didn't believe it. And now I'm dreaming about a tree, about our house, and some woman inside screaming for help. I mean, that's where it all started, man, this has to mean something, right?" Sam asked looking at his brother.
"I don't know." Dean said rubbing his face feeling overwhelmed with what Sam was putting on him.
Andi sat down on the couch looking at the two brother. Concern was etched across her face. This was something far more different than what she was expecting and she was afraid that it was going to tear the brothers apart.
Sam sat down across from his brother. "What do you mean you don't know, Dean? This woman might be in danger. I mean, this might be the thing that killed Mom and Jessica!"
"Alright, just slow down, would ya?" Dean stood up and began to pace around the room. "I mean, first you tell me that you've got the Shining? And then you tell me that I've gotta go back home? Especially when…"
"When what?"
Dean looked at his brother sadly. "When I swore to myself that I would never go back there?"
"Look, Dean, we have to check this out. Just to make sure." Sam said softly.
"I know we do." Dean said softly.
Andi looked at the brothers with a soft look on her face. She felt her heart breaking some. She wished that John was with the boys at this moment to help them with this was something that he would be able to understand. It was something that she couldn't understand even though she was kind of in the same boat, but not.

Dean pulled the Impala outside of their old family home.
Sam looked at his brother with a concerned look. "You gonna be alright, man?"
"Let me get back to you on that." Dean said looking at the house.
The three of them got out of the car and walked up to the house.
Dean knocked on the door.
Jenny opened the door.
Sam's eyes went wide when he realized that it was the same woman from his dream.
"Yes?" Jenny asked softly looking at the three of them in confusion.
"Sorry to bother you, ma'am, but we're with the Federal…" Dean began only to be cut off by Sam.
"I'm Sam Winchester, and this is my brother Dean. And this our friend Andi who's visiting. We use to live here. You know, we were just driving by, and we were wondering if we could come and see the old place." Sam said softly offering a small smile.
"Winchester. Yeah, that's so funny. You know, I think I found some of your photos the other night." Jenny said thinking about the other night.
"You did?" Dean asked surprised that there were still some things that were theirs still in the house.
Jenny stepped aside. "Come on in."
They came inside of the home following Jenny into the kitchen.
Sari, her daughter was busy doing her homework while her son Ritchie was in his playpen.
"Juice! Juice! Juice! Juice!" Ritchie said jumping up and down in his playpen.
"That's Ritchie. He's kind of a juice junkie." Jenny said as she took a sippy cup of the refrigerator and brought it over to her son. "But hey, at least he won't get scurvy." She walked over to her daughter. "Sari, this is Sam and Dean and their friend Andi who's visiting. They use to live here."
"Hi." Sari said looking up from her homework.
Dean waved a small little wave.
Andi stuck her hands in her pockets looking at the little girl with a small smile. She had to admit that this was very awkward being here and finding out that Sam was dreaming most likely of this family in his childhood home.
"Hey, Sari." Sam said with a small smile.
"So, you just moved in?" Dean asked looking at Jenny.
"Yeah, from Wichita." Jenny replied answering Dean's question fairly easily.
"You got family here, or…"
"No, I just, uh… needed a fresh start, that's all. So, new town, new job… I mean as soon as I find one. New house."
"So, how you liking it so far?" Sam asked curiously.
"Well, uh, all due respect to your childhood home… I mean, I'm sure you had lots of happy memories here."
Dean smiled weakly at what she had said.
Andi put her hand on Dean's arm giving him a comforting squeeze. She knew that it probably wasn't easy for the older brother to be there when he had promised he would never come back to this place. Her heart went out to him. She couldn't imagine it herself.
Dean looked over at her and saw her give him a small smile.
"But this place has its issues." Jenny continued softly.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked curiously.
"Well, it's just getting old. Like the wiring, you know? We've got flickering lights almost hourly."
"Oh, that's too bad. What else?" Dean said swallowing the lump that was forming in his throat.
"Um… sink is backed up, there's rats in the basement." She paused for a minute looking at them. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to complain."
"No. Have you seen the rats or have you just heard scratching?" Dean questioned, he wasn't offended in the least bit about her talking about it.
"It's just the scratching, actually."
"Mom?" Sari said looking up at her mom making her mom kneel down next to her daughter. "Ask them if it was here when they lived here."
"What, Sari?" Sam asked curiously.
Andi looked at Sari pursing her lips together wondering what the girl was going to say to the brothers.
"The thing in my closet." Sari said softly to Sam.
"Oh, no, baby, there was nothing in their closets." Jenny looked at Sam and Dean. "Right?"
"Right. No, no, of course not." Sam said agreeing with Jenny.
"She had a nightmare the other night." Jenny said looking at Sari with a sad look.
"I wasn't dreaming. It came into my bedroom… and it was on fire."
The three hunters looked at one another with a shocked look.
SPNSPN
The three of them walked back towards the car.
"You hear that? A figure on fire." Sam said to them.
"And that woman, Jenny, that was the woman in your dreams?" Dean asked Sam trying to make sense of what was going on.
"Yeah. And you hear what she was talking about? Scratching, flickering lights, both signs of a malevolent spirit."
"Yeah, well, I'm just freaked out that your weirdo visions are coming true." Dean snapped at his brother.
"Hey. Will you just stop it alright." Andi said looking at them. "Will you just forget about the fact that Sam's visions are coming true alright."
Sam nodded his head. "The thing in the house, do you think it's the thing that killed Mom and Jessica?" Sam said starting to panic some.
Andi grabbed Sam's arm trying to soothe him some. She hoped that what Sam was thinking wasn't right about what he was thinking. But the thoughts… it could have been anything and it worried her.
"I don't know!" Dean snapped at Sam.
"Well, I mean, has it come back or has it been here the whole time?"
"Or maybe it something else entirely, Sam, we don't know yet."
"Well, those people are in danger, Dean. We have to get them out of that house."
"And we will."
"No, I mean now." Sam said looking at his brother.
"And how you gonna do that, huh? You got a story that she's gonna believe?"
"Then what are we supposed to do?"
"How about you both kick it down a notch." Andi said looking at the both of them. "Get your knickers out of their bunches. We have to figure out what we are going to do and do it calmly and rationally and hopefully not scare the daylights out of this poor family."
SPNSPN
They pulled into a gas station.
"We just gotta chill out, that's all. You know, if this was any other kind of job, what would we do?" Dean questioned his younger brother.
Sam let out a soft sigh rubbing his mouth. "We'd try to figure out what we were dealing with. We'd dig into the history of the house."
"Exactly, except this time, we already know what happened." Dean said looking at his brother putting his hands into his leather coat.
"Yeah, but how much do we know?" Sam asked looking at his brother. "I mean, how much do you actually remember?"
"About that night, you mean?"
Andi looked at Dean wondering what he really did remember. She was willing to help out as much as she could on this case even though she really didn't know fully what was going on with this case.
"Yeah." Sam said nodding his head.
"Not much. I remember the fire… the heat." Dean paused for a minute thinking. "And then I carried you out the front door."
"You did?" Sam asked in shock.
"Yeah, what, you never knew that?"
"No." Sam said shaking his head.
"And, well, you know Dad's story as well as I do. Mom was… was on the ceiling. And whatever put her there was long gone by the time dad found her."
"And he never had a theory about what did it?"
"If he did, he kept it to himself." Dean said crossing his arms. "God knows we asked him enough times."
"Okay. So, if we're gonna figure out what's going on now… we have to figure out what happened back then. And see if it's the same thing."
"Yeah. We'll have to talk to Dad's friends, neighbors, people who were there at the time." Dean said softly rubbing his mouth.
"Does this feel like another job to you?" Sam asked softly looking at his brother.
"I'll be right back. I gotta go to the bathroom." Dean said disappearing around the corner.
Andi let out a soft sigh looking at Sam. "Does this feel like a case to you, Sam?" She wrapped her arms around her middle unsure of how Sam felt about this. It bothered her a little bit that the boys were having a hard time and there was nothing that she could do to help out.
Sam looked at her and shook his head. "No, it doesn't."
"It feels personal." Andi said looking at him.
"How can you tell?"
"It's a gut feeling Sam. This is your home we're talking about." Andi said softly. "It's something that you don't walk away from. It's a place where your mum died. That's how I can tell that it is personal." Andi's phone began to ring and she looked at the caller ID and saw that it said "M" Andi took a deep breath and looked at Sam. "I have to take this real quick." Andi walked away slowly and walked a bit a distance away so Sam couldn't hear who she was talking to. She brought her phone up to her ear. "You better have a good reason for calling me M." She said into the phone.
"Oh it is wonderful to hear your voice too darling." A smooth British male said over the other end.
"What do you want?" She questioned her voice soft and clipped. She really didn't want to be dealing with him right now. After everything that had happened to her while she was over there, she didn't really want to be dealing with anyone who lived over there.
"It's been almost a year Andrea that you've been overseas. How much longer are you planning on gallivanting over there and not doing the job that you are supposed to be doing to begin with?" He said slightly hurt that she wasn't going to be returning home any time soon.
Andi clutched the phone tightly in her hand. "I told you I wasn't going to be doing that. End of story. Goodbye." She hung up her phone and slipped it into her pocket. She looked around nervously pursing her lips together in agitation. She didn't need her history to come back and bite her in the ass that was the last thing she needed right at that moment and she didn't need M forcing her to come back to England and ordering her around again like he had done the last few years. It was one of the reasons why she took John up on his offer.
Andi took a breath and came back over to Sam and nervously put her hands into her front pockets. She bit her lower lip as she got closer to the younger Winchester brother.
"You alright there?" Sam asked looking her over. He could tell that she was worried about something.
"I'm fine." She said softly. She didn't want Sam to worry about her. He had enough to worry about and she didn't want him to worry about what was going on with her. "Don't worry about me okay? We got a family to worry about in your childhood home." She offered him a small weak smile.

Dean, Sam, and Andi walked with the owner of Guenther's Auto Repair.
"So you and John Winchester, you used to own this garage together?" Dean asked the owner as they walked with him.
"Yeah, we used to, a long time ago. Matter of fact, it must be, uh… twenty years since John disappeared. So why the cops interested all of a sudden?" The owner asked looking at them.
"We're re-opening some of our unsolved cases, and the Winchester disappearance is one of them." Andi explained to the owner as she put her hands in her pockets to keep Dean from panicking.
"Oh, well, what do you wanna know about John?"
"Well, whatever you remember, you know, whatever sticks out in your mind." Dean said looking at the owner hoping that the owner would be able to give them sort of information that would be able to help them out.
"Well… he was a stubborn bastard, I remember that." He laughed remembering how stubborn John was. "And, uh, whatever the game, he hated to lose, you know? It's that whole Marine thing."
The three hunters nodded their heads knowing fully well enough how John was.
"But, oh, he sure loved Mary. And he doted on those kids."
"But that was before the fire?" Sam asked softly.
"That's right." The owner confirmed with a nod of his head.
"He ever talk about that night?"
"No, not at first. I think he was in shock."
"Right. But eventually? What did he say about it?"
"Oh, he wasn't thinking straight. He said something caused that fire and killed Mary."
"He ever say what did it?" Dean asked curiously.
"Nothing did it. It was an accident… an electrical short in the ceiling or walls or something. I begged him to get some help, but…"
"But what?"
"Oh, he just got worse and worse."
"How?" Andi asked softly.
"Oh, he started reading these strange old books. He started going to see this palm reader in town."
"Palm reader?" Dean asked blinking a few times. "Uh, do you have a name?"
The owner scoffed. "No."
SPNSPN
Sam stood by a payphone looking through a phonebook.
Andi smoked a cigarette leaning against the Impala running a hand through her hair. Her mind kept going back to her short conversation that she had with M. How much longer was she going to run from her past? How much longer would she be able to keep it from Sam and Dean? How long would she be able to keep the brothers trust with everything that she had been involved in.
"Alright, so there are a few psychics and palm readers in town. There's someone named El Divino. There's uh." He laughed. "There's the Mysterious Mister Fortinsky. Uh, Missouri Moseley…"
"Wait, wait. Missouri Moseley?" Dean asked looking at his brother.
"What?"
"That's a psychic?"
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I guess so."
Dean went into the back seat of the car and pulled out the journal.
"Dean what are you doing?" Andi asked turning and looking at him.
"In Dad's journal… here, look at this." Dean turned to the first page. "First page, first sentence, read that."
"I went to Missouri and learned the truth." Sam read from the page.
Dean shrugged his shoulders. "I always thought he meant the state."
Andi looked at the brothers before taking a drag of her cigarette. "Well," She let out the smoke from her lungs, "looks like we go and see Missouri Moseley."
SPNSPN
Sam, Dean, and Andi sat on the couch waiting for Missouri to finish with who she was working with.
"Alright, there. Don't worry bout a thing. Your wife is crazy about you." Missouri said as she walked with a man that had come to get a reading. The man thanked her and left. "Whew." She shook her head. "Poor bastard. His woman is cold-banging the gardener."
"Why didn't you tell him?" Dean asked looking at Missouri wondering why she didn't tell the man that had just left.
"People don't come here for the truth. They come here for good news."
The three hunters look at her.
"Well? Sam and Dean and dear friend Andi that I am sure to know soon, come on already, I ain't got all day." She said as she left the room.
The three hunters exchanged a look with one another of confusion before getting up and following her into the other room.
"Well, lemme get a look at ya." She laughed looking at the two boys. "Oh, you boys grew up handsome." She pointed at Dean. "And you were one goofy-looking kid, too."
Dean glared at her.
Sam smirked at what Missouri said.
Andi giggled lightly at what Missouri said.
"Sam." Missouri grabbed his hand lightly. "Oh, honey… I'm sorry about your girlfriend."
The three hunters looked at her in shock.
"And your father… he's missing?"
The boys looked at each other, now how did she know that.
"How'd you know all that?" Sam asked looking at Missouri confused.
"Well, you were just thinking it just now."
Sam raised his eyebrows surprised.
"Well, where is he? Is he okay?" Dean asked hoping that she knew.
"I don't know." Missouri said shaking her head.
"Don't know? Well, you're supposed to be a psychic, right."
"Dean." Andi said giving Dean looking at him with wide eyes.
"Boy, you see me sawing some bony tramp in half? You think I'm a magician? I may be able to read thoughts and sense energies in a room, but I can't just pull some facts out of thin air. Sit, please."
Sam and Andi smirked at Dean sitting down on the couch before Dean sat down next to them.
"Boy, you put your foot on my coffee table, I'm 'a whack you with a spoon!"
Andi laughed lightly into her hand.
"I didn't do anything." Dean said defending himself.
"But you were thinking about it."
Dean raised his eyebrows as Sam smiled.
"Sounds like something my mum would say when I use to put my feet up on the table back at home across the pond when I was younger." Andi said with a giggle. "And she didn't miss. I don't think she's lying either Dean. Keep your feet off the table. Trust me being hit with a spoon wooden or metal isn't what it is cracked up to be."
Sam leaned forward looking at Missouri pursing his lips together in a thin line wondering why Andi's mother would do such a thing to her only daughter. He would have to ask her later, that was if Andi would be willing to tell them. But lately Andi had been jumpy and after the phone call she had gotten she had been even more quiet and telling him not to worry. "Okay. So, our dad… when did you first meet him?"
"He came for a reading. A few days after the fire. I just told him what was really out there in the dark. I guess you could say… I drew back the curtains for him." Missouri said softly pursing her lips together in thought.
"What about the fire? Do you know about what killed our mom?" Dean asked softly wondering if she knew what had killed their mom.
Andi looked at Dean with a soft look on her face. Perhaps she shouldn't be there, but the brothers had told her earlier that they had wanted her there because they wanted her to help out on this hunt and well... help she would.
"A little. Your daddy took me to your house. He was hoping I could sense the echoes, the fingerprints of this thing."
"And could you?" Sam asked softly if she could.
"I…" She shook her head.
"What was it?" Andi asked softly wondering what had her so spooked. She had seen that type of look before on people's faces and it wasn't good.
"I don't know." Missouri said softly. "Oh, but it was evil." She looked at the three of them. "So… you think something is back in that house?"
"Definitely." Sam said with a nod of his head.
"I don't understand." Missouri said shaking her head.
"What?"
"I haven't been back inside, but I've been keeping an eye on the place, and it's been quiet. No sudden deaths, no freak accidents. Why is it acting up now?"
"I don't know. But Dad going missing and Jessica dying and now this house all happening at once… it just feels like something's starting." Sam explained to Missouri.

Dean knocked on the door of their old home.
Andi, Sam, and Missouri stood with him waiting out on the porch.
Jenny opened the door holding her son close to her body. "Sam, Dean, Andi. What are you doing here?"
"Hey, Jenny." Sam said softly. "This is our friend, Missouri."
"If it's not too much trouble, we were hoping to show her the old house. You know for old time's sake." Dean said hoping that Jenny would allow them inside.
"You know, this isn't a good time. I'm kind of busy." Jenny said holding her son close to her.
"Listen, Jenny, it's kind of important."
Missouri smacked him on the back of the head.
"Ow."
"Give the poor girl a break, can't you see she's upset? Forgive this boy, he means well, he's just not the sharpest tool in the shed, but hear me out."
Dean looked at Missouri stunned.
"About what?" Jenny asked looking at Missouri.
"About this house."
"What are you talking about?"
"I think you know what I'm talking about. You think there's something in this house, something that wants to hurt your family. Am I mistaken?"
"Who are you?" Jenny asked looking at the three hunters and Missouri in confusion.
"We're people who can help, who can stop this thing. But you're gonna have to trust us, just a little."
Jenny looked at them unsure.
SPNSPN
The four of them are in Sari's bedroom looking around.
"If there's a dark energy around here, this room should be the center of it." Missouri said softly.
"Why?" Sam asked looking back at her.
"This used to be your nursery Sam. This is where it happened."
Sam glanced up at the ceiling.
Missouri looked around the room.
Dean pulled out his EMF meter.
"That an EMF?"
"Yeah."
"Amateur."
Dean glared at her. He nudged Sam and caused him to bump into Andi. He showed him the meter was beeping frantically.
"I don't know if you boys should be disappointed or relieved, but this ain't the thing that took your mom."
"Wait, are you sure?" Sam asked looking at Missouri.
Missouri nodded her head.
"How do you know?"
"It isn't the same energy I felt the last time I was here. It's something different."
"What is it?" Dean asked softly.
"Not it." Missouri opened the closet. "Them. There's more than one spirit in this place."
"What are they doing here?"
"They're here because of what happened to your family. You see, all those years ago, real evil came to you. It walked this house. That kind of evil leaves woulds. And sometimes, wounds get infected."
Andi nodded her head in understanding.
"I don't understand." Sam said softly in confusion.
"This place is a magnet for paranormal energy. It's attracted a poltergeist. A nasty one. And it won't rest until Jenny and her babies are dead."
"You said there was more than one spirit."
"There is. I just can't quite make out the second one."
"Well, one thing's for damn sure… nobody's dying in this house ever again. So whatever's here, how do we stop it?" Dean asked looking at Missouri.
Andi looked at Missouri.
"I think you know what to do my dear." Missouri said looking at Andi.
Andi nodded her head slowly. She knew that the boys were going to be fairly upset that Missouri knew that she knew something about poltergeists and how to get rid of them fairly easily.
The brothers looked at Andi with a hurt look. They didn't understand why Andi wouldn't tell them that she knew how to get rid of something so easily.
Andi swallowed the lump in her throat. "Okay. Do you have everything in your home Missouri."
"I do." Missouri said with a nod of her head. "And don't you dare give the poor girl grief."
SPNSPN
Andi began to make up a bag from the herbs and roots that were on the tables. Sam, Dean and Missouri were helping her.
"So, what is all this stuff, any ways?" Dean questioned Missouri ignoring Andi since she blatantly didn't tell them about the fact that she knew how to get rid of a poltergeist.
"Angelica Root, Van Van oil, crossroad dirt, a few other odds and ends." Missouri said looking at Dean giving him a look knowing that he was upset with the British-American girl that was busy working on one of the bags.
"Yeah? What are we supposed to do with it?"
"We're gonna put them inside the walls in the north, south, east, west corners on each floor of the house."
"We'll be punching holes in the drywall. Jenny's gonna love that." Dean said rubbing his mouth.
"She'll live." Missouri said looking at Dean.
"And this'll destroy the spirits?" Sam asked hopeful.
"It should. It should purify the house completely. We'll each take a floor. But we work fast. Once the spirits realize what we're up to, things are gonna get bad."
"And there gonna get bad fast." Andi said softly. "So we're gonna have to be very careful."
SPNSPN
Andi pursed her lips as she watched Missouri walk Jenny outside with her children. She felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket and she ignored it as she watched Missouri talking to Jenny.
Sam came up behind her and cleared his throat causing Andi to turn her head. "Why didn't you tell us that you knew what Missouri was talking about when it came to the roots, crossroad dirt and oil?"
"I read it in a book." Andi said softly, as she tucked some of her bangs behind her ear. She nibbled her lower lip with her top teeth. "But with how dark and powerful she is saying this one is." Andi let out a soft breath. "I dunno if it is going to work on this one Sam."
Sam let out a soft breath nodding his head. "You didn't know if it was going to work that was why you didn't say."
Andi nodded her head. "That's right. Missouri confirmed it that's all." She looked at him. "I wouldn't intentionally hide something from you Sam. You know that. But this is important to you. You want to protect this family. I know that. I'm willing to help you on this." She rubbed her arm lightly that was bare since she had rolled up the sleeves of her flannel shirt. "This poltergeist has to go so Jenny and her children can live in peace. And I can understand if you and your brother wouldn't want me…"
"Andi… stop."
Andi stopped and looked at him with wide cognac eyes.
"We still want you with us… even if Dean might be a little pissed about the fact that you kept this hidden."
Andi nodded her head.
"But I do understand. I mean I kept this fact that I was getting nightmares and they've been coming true."
Andi nodded her head again. "And we are going to have to talk about that Sam." She said softly. "It's not normal for that type of thing to be happening. You do know that right?"
"You have heard of something like this happening before?"
Andi pursed her lips together. She remembered John telling her about it before. That there had been other strange paranormal fires that had happened around the same year that she and Sam were born, but other than that no. "Yes, John told me something, but not much." Andi said softly. "Only because he thought I should know due to the fact that I was born in September of the same year."
Sam nodded his head, but he had a feeling that she knew a bit more than that.
"But we do have work to do Sam." Andi said softly patting his arm lightly as she headed up the stairs. "Just watch out alright. Keep an eye out for anything abnormal. It's going to find out and find out quickly. And it is going to be pissed." She began to walk up the stairs in a quick fashion knowing that they weren't going to have much time due to the fact that the spirits were probably already watching them closely. She could only hope that they already hadn't caught on. "Good luck Sam."
"You too."
Andi walked up to the attic and held onto the little bag that she had in her hand. She still had a very bad feeling about doing this. She crept slowly towards one of the walls. She got to the wall and saw an open spot in the wall. She carefully dropped it into the wall and she turned only to see something flying towards her head. Her world went black.

Andi winced as she dabbed at the wound that she had on her forehead as she stood with Missouri, Sam and Dean in the now messed up kitchen.
Sam looked around swallowed the lump in his throat. "You sure that this is over?"
"I'm sure. Why? Why do you ask?" Missouri asked looking at Sam wondering why he was asking such a question.
Andi looked over at Sam. She had a feeling of why Sam had asked Missouri that.
"Never mind." Sam let out a sigh. "It's nothing. I guess."
The four of them turned when Jenny came into the house.
"Hello? We're home." Jenny came into the kitchen and looked around. "What happened?"
"Hi, sorry. Um, we'll pay for all of this."
Dean looked at his brother confused.
Andi chuckled lightly.
"Don't worry. Dean's gonna clean up this mess." Missouri said as Dean just stood there not moving. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get the mop."
Dean moved away to get a mop.
"And don't cuss at me."
Dean walked away muttering under his breath.
Andi shook her head laughing lightly. "Quit cussing Dean it's not very attractive."
Sam looked at Andi. "I should check that cut on your head." He said touching her forehead causing her to wince. "Sorry."
"It's fine." She said softly.

Sam and Dean helped Missouri down the stairs of their old home while Andi walked behind them.
Jenny waved goodbye to them and shut the door.
Andi smiled at the two brothers. "We did good boys." She said softly looking at the two of them.
Sam looked back at the house as they got into the car. He wasn't so sure that they were finished.
"Let's get Missouri back home and rest for the night. I think I'm gonna need to take a few aspirins and sleep this off." Andi said as she got into the back seat with Missouri.
"I agree with you on this." Dean said as he got into the driver's seat.

Andi, Sam, and Dean sat outside in the Impala outside of the old Winchester home.
"Alright, so tell me again, what are we still doing here?" Dean asked looking over at his brother with tired eyes.
"I don't know." Sam said taking a breath looking at the house pursing his lips together in a thin line. "I just… I still have a bad feeling."
Andi leaned up against the front seat. She knew not to doubt Sam's bad feelings. Bad feelings were always something that they needed to look out for.
"Why? Missouri did her whole Zelda Rubinstein thing, the house should be clean, it should be over." Dean said looking over at his brother.
"Yeah, well, probably. But I just wanna make sure, that's all."
"And there's nothing wrong." Andi said softly patting Sam on the shoulder giving him a soft look. "After all there could still be something there if it didn't work."
"Well, the problem is I could be sleeping in a bed right now." Dean said sliding down in his seat closing his eyes and crossing his arms.
Andi shook her head rolling her eyes some. That was something that Dean would say because he was tired.
Sam looked up at Jenny's bedroom window and saw her screaming. "Dean. Look, Dean."
"Bloody hell." Andi said as she got out of the car quickly.
The brother's quickly got out of the car following her quickly up the stairs and into the house.
"You two grab the kids, I'll get Jenny." Dean told them as he went the opposite direction.
Andi nodded her head following Sam. "Sam go get Ritchie. I'll get Sari."
Sam nodded his head as he quickly ran towards Ritchie's room knowing that Andi would be alright.
Andi gasped when she heard Sari scream. She saw the fire form and she carefully ran into the room and picked up Sari into her arms. "Don't look Sari. Don't look love." Andi carried Sari out of the room carrying her down the stairs and Sam was right behind her. Andi put Sari onto her feet as she got to the bottom of the stairs.
Sam handed Ritchie to her. "Andi take him and go. Don't look back guys."
"Sam?" Andi asked in shock as she looked at the younger brother afaid.
"Just do it."
Andi ran out of the house with Ritchie and she heard Sari scream and her running behind her. Andi turned around and saw Sari crying.
Dean crouched to Sari's level looking into her eyes. "Sari, where's Sam?"
Sari wiped her eyes crying. "He's inside. Something's got him."
Dean looked at the front door and it slammed on its own.
Andi looked at Dean. "We gotta get him out of there."
Dean rushed over to the Impala and got into the trunk. He grabbed a rifle and an ax.
"Got an extra ax?" Andi asked him.
"Yeah." He said handing it to her.
"Thanks. I'm gonna help you out on this." Andi said quickly following after him up the stairs.
The two of them began to ax away at the door chopping away at it to get inside of the house to help Sam. With the door being as thick it was it was taking a lot of effort to get inside. Finally they broke through. The two of them got inside.
"Sam? Sam!" Dean and Andi yelled as they ran into the kitchen.
Dean raised the gun at the fire figure.
"No, don't. Don't!" Sam called to his brother.
"What, why?" Dean questioned his brother.
Andi looked at Sam with wide eyes wondering why Sam was stopping his brother from shooting the fire spirit.
"Because I know who it is. I can see her now." Sam said softly, his voice cracking some.
The fire vanished from around the spirit. It was Mary looking exactly the same night that she had died.
Dean's expression softened and he lowered the gun. "Mom?" Dean said softly.
Mary smiled softly stepping towards him. "Dean."
Tears began to form in his eyes.
Andi watched with shock in her eyes.
Mary walked away from Dean and began to walk towards Sam. "Sam."
Sam smiled weakly and began to cry.
Her smile faded. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Sam asked softly.
She looked at him sadly and said nothing. She walked away from them and looked at Andi. "Thank you for watching out for them."
Andi's eyes went wide when she was thanked. Andi didn't really think that she was really watching out for Sam and Dean.
She looked up at the ceiling. "You get out of my house. And let go of my son." Once again she burst into flames. Once she was entirely engulfed the fire reached up to the ceiling and then disappeared.
Sam fell to his feet and then slowly walked over to Dean.
The three of them looked at each other in shock.
"Now it's over." Sam said softly.
"What the hell was that?" Dean said softly. "Why did mom…"
Andi swallowed the lump in her throat. "I don't understand… Why would she thank me? I haven't done much for you two. If anything you two have done more for me than I've done for you."

Andi put her hand in her pocket as she smoked a cigarette as Dean talked to Jenny and Sam sat on the porch.
Missouri came down the stairs. "Well, there are no spirits in there anymore, this time for sure."
"Not even my mom?" Sam asked looking up at Missouri.
"No." Missouri said shaking her head.
"What happened?"
"Your mom's spirit and the poltergeist energy, they cancelled each other out. Your mom destroyed herself going after the thing."
"Why would she do something like that?" Sam asked softly confused of why his mom would destroy herself.
Andi pursed her lips together into a thin line knowing that Sam didn't understand why a mother would do something like that.
"Well, to protect her boys, of course."
Sam nodded his head as tears came to his eyes.
Missouri went to put her hand on his shoulder, but stopped herself. "Sam, I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"You sensed it was here, didn't you? Even when I couldn't."
"What's happening to me?" Sam asked softly.
"I know I should have all the answers, but I don't know."
"Sam, Andi, you two ready?" Dean called to them.
Andi let out a soft breath and took another drag of her cigarette and felt her phone going off again as she began to walk towards the car.
Sam nodded his head as he stood up and he headed towards the car.
Jenny thanked them again for what they had done.
"Don't you three be strangers."
"We won't."
"See you around." Missouri said looking at them.
Jenny waved goodbye to them.
The three of them smiled as they got into the car.
Dean started the car up and pulled down the road.
Andi pulled the phone out of her pocket and saw the caller id and saw it was "K" calling. She pursed her lips together. Andi closed her eyes, feeling a pang in her chest. She put her phone onto the seat ignoring the call as it continued to buzz. That was the last person that she wanted to talk to.
Sam looked back at her and saw the panicked look on Andi face. "You alright back there?" Sam asked softly.
Andi's eyes shot up looking up at him with wide eyes.
"Andi?"
"I'm fine." She squeaked her voice betraying her.
"Andi I know your phone rang… did…" Sam let out a soft sigh. "Did someone call you from home?"
Andi nodded her head. "Yes." She said softly. "I... " She took a breath. "It's something I rather not talk about." She rubbed her arm nervously. It was something that she really didn't want to talk about. "Britain is behind me and my past is something that I want to keep behind me."
Sam took a breath knowing not to push it. He could see the tears in her eyes. "Okay." He said softly.
