“Oh damn it, Mel. I knew this was a bad idea” Brit acted out. “Please just…just give me a chance to win it back” I said with my million dollar sexy smile.

Right now, Brit and I were hustling some guys at pool and let me tell you…it was too easy. We wore some shorts skirts and low cut shirts, showed some cleavage, got their attention and got them to agree to betting some money…Dean and Sam were playing a part in it too. They’re coming soon, they were just waiting for the cue.

“Now, girls. I don’t think it’ll be very fair for us to continue like this” one of the guys said

“Oh come on. A little scared to higher the stakes?” I questioned, smirking.

“How so?”

We both gave them sexy smirks. “I think you boys could decide that one” Brit said.

“Lets put…five hundred down on the table…if we win, we get the money. If you win…you get the money and you and your friends get whatever else you’d like” I singled out one of his friends and winked.

They started to holler and whistle…that was the cue. “Excuse me, our girls are a little too sauced up to be making bets, wouldn’t you say?” Dean said as him and Sam came over to us.

“Hey, they insisted” one of the guys said.

“Yea, but you’ve taken advantage of their state of mind enough don’t you think?” Sam said.

“Hey, dumb and dumber. Shut up. We’re fine” I slurred a little. “No, you aren’t. You’re both drunk!” Dean claimed.

Let me mind you that Brit and I were…80 percent sober. “We just raised the stakes a little, let us have some fun. Geez, you guys hover too much” Brit ‘complained’. “Yea, you heard the ladies. Stop hovering” one of them said.

The boys sighed, shaking their heads. “Five hundred” another guy stated and placed a wad of cash on the table.

Then, he eyed me and I tried hard not to gag out loud and I did my best to just flash him another sexy smile. I saw half of the guys were eyeing me and the other half were eyeing Brit…I was disgusted…but we were doing it for the money. I sauntered over to where the white ball was, right near the group of guys we were conning. I bent over so my ass stuck out a little and my shirt hung slightly so it kept the guys distracted and Brit was keeping her half of the guys distracted as well as I exchanged a look with Dean and Sam and they were smirking. Then, I hit the white ball with ease and I got four solids into the pockets and I noticed the dudes were shocked.

“Hmmm well that wasn’t so hard. Thanks for the money” I smiled innocently, picking up the wad of five hundred dollars and I got to Dean’s side.

We all started to walk away as he wrapped his arm around my waist and Sam wrapped his around Brit’s…it was all just for show…but it felt like how it used to be.

“I was definitely turned on” Dean said in my ear.

“By what? Me trying to distract those dicks by turning them on?”

“Yea, but it was the way you did it” he said and then grunted, letting out a breath like I punched him in the stomach and I laughed.

Then, I pushed him away. “Stop it. I don’t know why you keep doing this”

“What? It’s innocent flirting!” he claimed.

“Mmhmm” I grunted but became tense as I saw an unwelcome face sitting at the bar.

It was Ruby. He looked where I was looking and he tensed as well as Brit and Sam rushed over to her, nonchalantly. We all reached her. “Well, you got a lot of nerve showing up anywhere near me” Dean said, before Brit or Sam could say anything.

“I just have some info and then I’m gone” she said.

“You better be” I muttered, crossing my arms. Brit nudged me. She nudged me!

“What is it?” she asked Ruby.

“I’m hearing a few whispers”

“Ooh, great, demon whisperers, that’s reliable” Dean said, sarcastically.

Then, we both walked over to two seats, ordering two beers and listening to Ruby, just not wanting to be near her.

“Girl and boy named Anna and Adam Milton escaped from a locked ward yesterday. The demons seem pretty keen on finding her. Apparently some real heavy hitters turned out for the Easter-egg hunt” she said to Brit and Sam who stood in front of her.

“Why? Who are they?” Sam asked.

“No idea, but I’m thinking that they’re important, cause the order is to capture them alive…I just figured that whatever the deal is, you might wanna find these two before the demons do”

Sam and Brit looked at us over their shoulders. “Look, maybe we should check it out”

“Actually we’re working a case, but thanks” I forced an irritated smile at Ruby.

“What case?”

“Uh…we’ve got leads. Big leads” Dean said and I nodded. “Sounds dangerous” she said, sarcastically.

“Yeah, well it sure ain’t goose chasing after some chick and some dude who for all we know doesn’t even exist just because you say they’re important”

“I’m just delivering the news, you can do whatever you want with it, far as I’m concerned, I told you, I’m done” she said and went to leave but Brit stopped her.

“Wait…the hospital Anna and Adam escaped from…got a name?” she asked and I just sighed.

~~

While, Brit and I followed Dean and Sam in the truck, we were silent. “Okay…so you’re pissed about how Ruby gave us the tip about this Anna girl and her brother…I get it…”

“No I don’t think you do…I don’t even get it…when Dean was downstairs and I left, what the hell happened? You’re like BFF’s with the demon bitch? The one we both hated. Now, you and Sam are one little family…I knew you and Sam were going to get annulled or whatever but to break up completely and let him go for that bitch…”

“He isn’t with her, Mel…”

“Well still! I never thought I would ever see the day where you’re even remotely nice to Ruby”

“You were nice to Bela!”

“Well, she wasn’t a friggin demon”

“No she was just a conniving, lying thief” I felt her roll her eyes. “Ruby…helped me and Sam go after Lilith…I thought you were going to want the same thing”

“Yea, I wanted to go after Lilith but I wasn’t going to ask a demons help…”

“No, you were just going to go down there yourself right?” she mocked.

"I would've if Sam didnt make me promise that i wouldn't…” I muttered.

“I know…”

“How did Ruby help you?” I asked, skeptically.

She hesitated. “Right when you left…Sam got drunk right away…he went a little crazy. Went into this…broken, sad, drunk…state of mind…I had no clue what to do with him…I couldn’t even keep track of him anymore if he went out somewhere…” she stopped and it seemed like she was remembering all of it.

“All I’m saying is…Ruby was there when you weren’t” she said and I felt myself stiffen when she said it.

We didn’t say anything else though…it was not the time to have a heart to heart conversation about how I wasn’t there…I was going to save my questions for a different time…maybe tomorrow.

~~~

The next day we got to the psychiatric hospital and spoke with Anna and Adam’s psychiatrist. The orderly had no recollection of their escape. Apparently they knocked him unconscious and the blow caused him to have amnesia. Doesn’t even remember walking into their room. They say they planned it. The psychiatrist told us how, two months ago, Anna and Adam were both happy, well-adjusted, journalism majors, had lots of friends a bright future and then they just flipped…due to schizophrenia. She told us Anna and Adam had delusions of demons being everywhere and then we saw their sketchbook. Sam opened to a page where some colorful windows had crosses on them. But, then on another page in bold print, it said: RAISING OF THE WITNESSES and it had the symbol of the seal and some drawings of the witnesses being risen. We all exchanged a look as Sam flipped to another page and there was a drawing of Samhain in front of houses and jack-o-lanterns and on the top of the page it said: SAMHAIN THE NEXT SEAL IS BROKEN.

“It’s Revelations” I murmured and they all nodded as we were all in shock by the drawings.

“Since when does the Book of Revelations have jack-o-lanterns?” the psychiatrist asked.

“It’s a uh…it’s a little known translation” Dean said.

“Ah, well, Anna and Adam’s father was a church Deacon, when she became ill her paranoia took on religious overtones. She was convinced the devil was about to rise up and end the world. I hope you find them. It’s dangerous for them to be out there alone right now”

We all just nodded at her and stared back down at the drawings. This was weird.

We got to Anna and Adam Milton’s house and we knocked on the door but there was no answer. “Maybe they’re not home” Dean suggested. “Both cars in the driveway” Sam said.

But, then I twisted the door knob and the door was unlocked. We all walked in with caution. “Mr. and Mrs. Milton?” Brit called out.

But, then it hit me…the smell of iron anc copper…the smell of death…and sulfur. I saw the smell of death hit Brit too. “We’re from the Sheriff’s Department. We just wanted to ask you a couple of questions” Sam said.

"The demons were here” I stated. “How do you know?” Dean asked.

I pointed to my nose and then walked into the living room. There were two bodies on the floor, a man and a woman, their throats were slashed. I sighed. Sam walked over to the bodies.

“Sulfur. She’s right. The demons beat us here…whatever the deal is with this Anna and Adam…”

“They want them…and they’re not screwing around” Brit said.

I walked over to the mantle over the fireplace and started looking at the pictures. My eyes widened slightly. “Sam” I said, taking one of the pictures into my hands.

“What is it?” he asked and got to my side. I showed him the picture. “Oh man” he muttered. “What?” Dean asked. “Nothing…we’ve met Adam before” he said and Brit and Dean gave us a look.

“He’s the Adam we met when we first met Meg, not knowing she was a demon…” my voice trailed off as I just reminisced a little, staring down at the picture.

Flashback

Sam and I were walking to the bus station because when I realized the truck needed gas, it was too late. Sam convinced me to leave it behind and we would get Dean and Brit to find it and put some gas in it. I was very uncomfortable just leaving my truck and I was a little jittery as we walked into the bus station and Sam made it in but I bumped into someone…I started to apologize but got distracted by the sight of this guy. He was kind of cute…hot even.

“Whoa there, you okay?” he chuckled.

“Yea…yea, I’m fine. I’m sorry”

“No, it’s my fault…”

“Is there a problem here?” Sam asked as he came over to us.

“No problem, just being clumsy” I said and I felt myself blush, while looking at this guy…I didn’t like the feeling so I pushed it away. “I’m good, Sam” I said and gave him a look.

He just chuckled and walked away. “Boyfriend?” the guy in front of me, asked. “No. Just a friend” I smiled.

“That’s good news. I don’t have to worry about competition then” I just grinned. “Adam” he offered his hand.

“Melissa” I shook his hand.

End of Flashback

We talked some…exchanged life stories…well I told him I was on a road trip with some friends and Sam and I were just going in a different direction for a bit…in the end, he thought it was a good idea to turn back and go to Dean and Brit…and I was grateful for that. I bought some gas, Sam and I walked back to the truck, I filled her up and we went to save Brit and Dean’s asses.

“Hey, you got those sketches from Anna and Adam’s book?” I asked Dean. He nodded, taking them out of his pocket and handing them to me. “Look” I said and took one and put it next to the picture of Anna and Adam outside a church.

They all looked over my shoulder at the picture and the drawing of the window with a cross on it. “She was drawing the window of her church” Brit stated.

“If you were religious, scared and had demons on your ass, where would you go to feel safe?” Sam questioned and we all exchanged looks. The church.

~~

We got to the church and headed up to the attic with our guns drawn. When we got to the top, straight ahead was the window with the design that Adam and Anna drew. I heard heavy breathing and I saw some movement coming from behind some stained glass. They looked at me as I nodded in the direction. Then, I put my gun away and they followed my notion.

“Anna? Adam? We’re not going to hurt you, we’re here to help…Adam, remember me? Melissa...and Sam?” I tried.

“Sam? Not Sam Winchester” a girls voice said. “And Melissa Stern?”

“Uhh yea” I voiced as we all exchanged confused looks.

Then, we saw a girl with straight red hair come out of hiding and stood a good eight feet away from us. “And your Brittney Hails…?” She nodded. “And you’re Dean…the Dean?”

“Well, yeah…the Dean…I guess” he said, being a little smug and Brit, Sam and I all rolled our eyes at him. “Adam, it’s really him” she said, getting a little excited.

Then, there he was. The Adam I met at the bus station was standing right behind her. “Hey Adam” I smiled lightly.

“Hey Melissa. Sam” he said, nodding at us and Sam nodded back at him.

“You know each other” Anna assumed. “Yea…she’s the girl I told you about…the bus station…” was all he said and she seemed to know right away. She looked back at Dean.

“Oh my God, the angels talk about you. You were in Hell, but Castiel pulled you out and some of them think you can help save us…”

Then, she looked at me. “And the angels talk about you too…you’re part of the reason why they pulled Dean back out…they have high hopes and beliefs about you…some are nervous but they have faith…”

I was confused. “And some of them don’t like you two at all” she said to Sam and Brit. “Anna…back off a bit” Adam warned, stepping forward.

“They talk about you all the time lately, I feel like I know you” she continued anyway. “So you guys talk to angels?” I asked.

“Oh, no, no, no way, um, they probably don’t even know we exist”

“We just kind of overhear them” Adam added. “You overhear them?” Brit asked, skeptically.

“Yeah, they talk and sometimes we just hear them in our heads”

“Like…right now?” Dean asked.

“Not this second…but it happens a lot” Adam said. “We can’t shut them out there are so many of them” Anna added.

“So they lock you up with a case of the crazies when really you were just tuning into to angel radio?” I questioned. “Yes, thank you” Anna said with relief.

“Anna, Adam, when did the voices start? Do you remember?” Sam asked. “We can tell you exactly. September 18th” Adam said.

“The day I got out of Hell” Dean stated. “First words we heard, clear as a bell: ‘Dean Winchester is saved.’” Anna said.

Dean looked at all of us. “What do you think?”

“It’s above my pay grade man” Sam scoffed.

“Well, at least now we know why the demons want you two so bad” I commented. “They get a hold of you, they can hear everything the other side’s cooking, you’re 1-900-Angel” Dean added and laughed nervously.

“Hey, um, do you know, are our parents okay?” Adam asked. “We didn’t go home, we were afraid” Anna added. I got a lump in my throat.

Then, the door swung open and Ruby came through it. “You got the girl and the guy, good, let’s go” she said and I saw Adam pull Anna back as if he was protecting her. “Oh! Her face!” Anna yelled out.

“No, it’s okay” Brit said. “She’s here to help” Sam assured. “Don’t be too sure” Dean and I both muttered.

“We have to hurry” Ruby said. “Why?” Dean demanded.

“Because a demon’s coming. He’s a big-timer and we can fight later Dean”

“Well, that’s pretty convenient, showing up right when we find the girl and this guy with some big wig on your tail”

“I didn’t bring him here, you did”

“What?” I asked.

“He followed you from their house, we gotta go now”

“Guys” Brit spoke and we all turned to see what she was looking at. It was a statue of Mary and her eyes were crying blood. “It’s too late, he’s here” Ruby said.

“Come with us” I said as Brit and I got to Adam and Anna.

We led them to a closet in the back corner. “Stay here alright” Brit said and I saw how scared Anna looked. “You’re going to be fine” I promised her and gave her a smile.

She nodded and I shut the door. We got back to the others and Sam reached for his holy water. “No Sam, you and Brittney gotta pull him right away” Ruby said and Dean and I glared.

“Hold on a sec…” Dean started.

“Now’s not the time to bellyache about Sam and Brittney going dark side. They do their thing, they exorcise that demon or we die” Ruby snapped.

I looked at Brit, not prepared to watch Brit and Sam do that again. She was avoiding my eyes and Sam put the flask with the holy water back into his pocket. I didn’t even look at Dean to see what his face was like because I knew he had the same look I did as I just kept my eyes on Brit.

The door bust open and flew off its hinges as a man came walking through it. Sam and Brit put their hands up, ready to do their thing…or whatever, I guess. The guy put a hand up to grab his throat as if he was choking and his eyes went white…but then they went back to normal and he smirked.

“That tickles” he commented. Umm I don’t think that’s what was supposed to happen. “You don’t have the juice to take me on kids”

Then he raised a hand and Sam flew forward and down the stairs. Then, Brit flew into the air and flew into one wall and then into the other and she fell to the floor. I went to grab my own flask of holy water from my pocket but my feet left the ground and I flew into the Mary statue and into the wall. I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and when I fell to the ground, behind a piano, I saw a sharp piece was jammed into my shoulder. I hissed and pulled the piece out and saw Ruby get Anna and Adam.

“Hello again, Dean…come on, don’t you recognize me? Oh I forgot, I’m wearing a pediatrician…but we were so close...in Hell” I heard the demon say and he punched Dean a few times.

“Alastair” I heard Dean grunt.

I lunged at him and kicked him in the face. He chuckled and then gripped onto my neck and pinned me down. “Oh my Melissa, you should really find your place” he said and punched me.

“You should be the one to beating the crap out of this guy…tearing him limb from limb. You have great potential…” he said and punched me in the face again. I felt welts form.

He punched me again and again. Then, he was pulled off me by Sam and he stabbed the demon with Ruby’s knife. “You’re gonna have to try a whole lot harder than that, son” he said and spun Sam away from him.

Brit helped Dean up as I rolled onto my stomach and Dean helped me up. As the demon groaned and was pulling the knife out of his chest, we all looked at the big window with the colors and design on it and then we each other and we went running toward it and we crashed through, falling down a story and hitting the ground. I felt pain surge through my body but we all jumped to our feet and raced off to the best of our ability.
