"My men brought in a runaway last night," Jody explained. 

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in the Sheriff's Station, a Deputy hauled a struggling Alex Jones through the hall. 

Jody: (voice over from 9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann) "There's no ID on her. Nothing on her, actually, except for a bus ticket out of Nebraska."

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in Jody's Cabin, Alex looked toward the window.

Alex: (voice over from 9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann) "My name is Alex."

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in the Sheriff's Station's holding cell, Alex walked toward the door to investigate. Cody the Vampire appeared on the other side of the door. Alex jumped inside. Cody walked in. He opened his mouth. A set of Vampire fangs descended. He went to bite Alex. He was beheaded from behind, blood splashing the cell. Alex looked at the person who had beheaded Cody in shock. Jody was standing there with a bloody fire ax.

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in the Sheriff's Station's interrogation room, Alex was handcuffed to the table. Ness and Dean were standing next to her.

"You're alive, because, uh, hunters trained the Sheriff," Dean told her. "I think the first words out of your mouth should be a thank you."

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in the flashback, in the bar, Alex looked at a man. 

Jody: (voice over from 9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann) "You think the Vamps are the ones who took her?"

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in the Sheriff's Station, Sam, Dean, Ness and Jody were talking. Jody looked at them in confusion.

"We've seen it before," Ness told her. 

From 8.02 "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?", in the Vampire's Nest, there were closeups of Ness' bloody, filthy body. She was covered in sweat, blood and filth. There were sounds of growling Vampires and closeups of Vampire fangs. Ness looked to be barely alive, glaring toward the Vampires.

Ness: (voice over from 9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann) "Vampires keeping people as pets. Human blood bags."

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in the Sheriff's Station's interrogation room, Alex was handcuffed to the table. Dean and Ness stood nearby. Ness noticed some scars on Alex's neck, putting a hand to her neck where the scars would have been if Castiel hadn't healed her in Purgatory.

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in Jody's Cabin, Alex was sleeping in Owen's old room. Jody grabbed the blanket, putting it over Alex. Alex woke instantly, sitting up, afraid, gasping.

"Whoa," Jody told her. "Easy."

From 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", in Jody's Cabin, Alex picked up a picture of the Mills. "This your family?"

"Yes," Jody answered.

"Where are they?" Alex asked.

Jody didn't answer.

From 8.05 "Blood Brother", 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann" and 10.08 "Hibbing 911", there were flashes of Ness killing Vampires brutally due to what she had been through and the Mark of Cain.

From 10.09 "The Things We Left Behind", in the group home, Claire Novak sat on the floor.

Castiel stood in front of her. "Claire, I'm not your father."

From 4.20 "The Rapture", outside the Novak House in flashback, Young Claire stood on the porch, looking at Castiel.

Claire: (voice over from 10.09 The Things We Left Behind) "Those were the first words you said to me, remember?"

From 10.09 "The Things We Left Behind", outside the restaurant, Claire was sneaking away.

Claire: (voice over from 10.20 Angel Heart) "Trying to track somebody down."

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", in the bar, Ronnie Cartwright and Claire sat across the table from each other.

Claire slid a picture of Amelia Novak toward him. "Her name's Amelia."

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", in her dream, Amelia stood alone in the foyer of the Novak House.

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", in the barn, Amelia was restrained to the bed.

Claire: (voice over from 10.20 Angel Heart) "She's been missing for a few years. She's my mother."

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", in the motel room, the family and Claire were there.

"Claire, you are not going out there," Castiel told her.

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", on the golf course, Ness was pregnant. She turned around. "Claire?" Claire was running toward the exit of the course, out of the gate. Ness sighed, pulling out her phone, making a call. "'Let's bring a runaway to a golf course'. Great idea, Ness." She heard the call answer. "Dean. Look, Claire got away. She's on her way to you."

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", in the barn, Holloway the Angel aimed his hand at Claire, using magic to throw his Angel Sword toward her. Amelia jumped in the way to save her daughter, receiving the sword in her stomach.

Claire cried in horror. "No!" She was no holding Amelia in her arms, crying. "Mom?"

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", outside the motel, the family and Claire were waiting for the taxi. Claire and Ness were talking.

"Sabrina offered to bring her back, but she saw that she was in Heaven with my dad," Claire told her. "So I told her to let her be."

Castiel and Catty were standing several feet away.

Catty looked at Castiel. "What are you gonna do about Claire?"

"It's not up to me, Catty," Castiel told her.

From 9.08 "Rock and a Hard Place", outside the diner, Jody was on the phone. "Hey, Ness, Jody Mills."

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", outside the motel, the family and Claire were waiting for the taxi.

"Jody Mills is good people, and she'll give you a place to crash until you get back on your feet," Sam told her.

Catty and Claire were kneeling at Claire's bag.

Catty pulled out Holloway's Angel Sword, putting the sword back, putting the book 'The Enochian Myth' in the bag. "You know, Claire..." She stood. "You already got your revenge. you go down this path... our path..."

From 8.13 "Everybody Hates Hitler", in Aaron's House, Sam, Dean, Catty and Ness each shot the men that were aiming guns at them in the head, making them fall dead.

From 8.02 "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?", in the auction room, Sam came up behind Beau, swinging Thor's hammer at the back of his head, killing him, letting him fall.  Lightning crackled.

From 8.05 "Blood Brother", in the Vampire's House's living room, Andrea the Vampire snarled, transforming. Dean stabbed Andrea from behind, taking the machete out of her back, beheading her, killing her, letting the body fall.

From 8.07 "A Little Slice of Kevin", in the warehouse / factory's prison room, Castiel emanated with bright white light. His eyes glowed bluish white from within. Shadows from unfurling wings appeared on the wall behind Castiel.

From 8.05 "Blood Brother", in the abandoned house, in flashback, Catty kicked her leg out, making the Demon fall to the floor next to her, rolling into a kneeling position, straddling the Demon, grabbing Catty's Knife as she did, driving it into his heart, killing him, him flash with red.

From 10.14 "The Executioner's Song", in the barn, Sabrina was glowing with bright white light. Everything was glowing around her. She used the light that was glowing all around her to aim at Cain the Knight of Hell, throwing it in a long stream toward him, the light starting to burn him through, slowly eating away at him, making him scream in agony, until he burned away with the light completely.

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", outside the motel, the family and Claire were waiting for the taxi. Claire and Catty were talking.

"Do your homework before you do anything stupid, okay?" Catty asked.

Claire and Dean were talking.

"And we're here if you need us, any time," Dean told her.

From 10.10 "The Hunter Games", lakeside, Sabrina and Claire were talking.

"If you need help... whenever, wherever, all you gotta do is pray," Sabrina told her. "I'll hear you. I'll find you. And I'll be there."

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", outside the motel, the family and Claire were waiting.

Castiel walked toward Claire. "Um, Claire... if you, um, if you... need anything, ever... I'm... just wanted you to know that..." Claire embraced Castiel. Castiel was surprised, but returned the embrace. They pulled away. Claire looked over the family, nodding in farewell, walking toward the cab, getting inside. Castiel looked at the cab. "Someone just tell me she's gonna be okay."

"Yeah, Dad," Sabrina answered.

Dean nodded. "Of course."

"She's gotta be," Sam told them.

"She'll be okay," Ness told them.

Catty wrapped an arm around Castiel, nodding, leaning her head against his shoulder. "So will you."

From 10.20 "Angel Heart", in the cab, Claire looked out of the window as they continued to drive.

From 11.09 "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", in the desert, Sabrina and Amara/The Darkness were standing in the middle of the desert. Sabrina closed her eyes, tilting her head back toward the sky, raising her arms on either side of her in concentration. The clouds darkened and swirled around. A forceful wind was blowing around them. Lightning was flashing. Sabrina was emanating with blindingly bright white light that swirled around her with the wind. The light that surrounded her, her own power, was being channeled into the sky above her. The wind was chaotic around them, like a wind storm, blowing the dust and the dirt around them. The dust and dirt surrounded them completely, as if it was a cocoon. The power in the sky above them was blazing brightly. Amara/The Darkness looked worried. Sabrina let go of the power. The power enveloped Sabrina and Amara/The Darkness completely, exploding all around them.

From 11.10 "The Devil in the Details", in the park, Castiel and Catty were talking.

Catty sighed. "Find Sabrina and Amara. Bring them home."

Castiel nodded.

From 11.10 "The Devil in the Details", in the desert, Amara was sleeping inside the cocoon of bright white light. Castiel was kneeling next to her.

Sabrina walked closer instantly. "Dad." Castiel stood, turning to face her. Sabrina sighed in relief, looking at him in disbelief, in shock that she had succeeded, smiling happily, tiredly. "I did it."

Castiel smiled proudly. "You did it."

From 11.10 "The Devil in the Details", in the Bunker's library, Amara had her back to Sam, Dean and Catty. She was embracing Ness. Ness looked as if she wouldn't let go of her daughter, crying silently in relief. 

Ness: (voice over from 11.10 The Devil in the Details) "Sabrina did it. She exorcised the Darkness from Amara. Cas found her. They brought her home."

Dean and Amara embraced for a long moment, looking as if they didn't want to let go.

From 11.11 "Into the Mystic", in Amara's room, she seemed to be having a nightmare. She was startled awake, breathing heavily, looking around, realizing that she was in her bedroom, closing her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

Ness: (voice over from 11.11 Into the Mystic) "Amara's been home for just two days. Give her some time."

From 11.11 "Into the Mystic", in the Bunker's kitchen, Amara and Ness were sitting across the table from each other. Ness was holding Aiden.

Amara took a breath. "I was... the Darkness... for six months."

Ness looked at her sympathetically, putting Aiden in her lap. "You weren't the Darkness, Amara. You were possessed by the Darkness. There's a difference. No one can understand what you went through, Amara."

Amara looked at her for a moment, seeming to open up a little more. "You can."

Ness took this in for a moment.

From 11.11 "Into the Mystic", in the Bunker's library, Dean, Ness and Amara sat at the table. 

"I thought that I could deal with everything on my own," Amara told them. "But I don't think I can anymore."

Dean leaned forward against the table. "If you need anything, anything at all... we'll be right there with you."

NOW

         §      

Day One 

Sioux Falls, South Dakota 

Night - Brayden Point 

A car was parked on the peak. 

         §      

Car

A teenage boy was in the driver's seat.

A teenage girl was in the passenger seat.

The boy took a drink from a flask, handing it to the girl.

The girl took a drink.

"It's like tumbleweeds out there," the boy told her. "Where is everybody?" He looked at the girl. "You wanna get out of here?" 

"No," the girl answered. "We finally got the place to ourselves." 

The girl kissed the boy on the neck.

"You don't like it when the, uh, car next to you's bumping up and down and you hear groaning?" the boy asked teasingly.

"Nobody can hear us," the girl told him. "Can they?"

"Not tonight," the boy answered.

They kissed, starting to make out.

         § 

Outside     

There was a rustling in the bushes next to the car.

The door of the car opened.

The boy was dragged out into the open.

The girl screamed.

The boy was thrown to the ground. An Angel Sword was held to his throat.

The Angel Sword-wielder was revealed to be Claire Novak.

The girl looked at Claire incredulously. "What the hell are you doing?"

"He knows," Claire told her. She looked at the boy. "Don't you?"

"I swear," the boy told her. "I don't know anything. Please."

"What are you?" Claire asked. The boy looked terrified, shaking his head. Claire raised her voice, repeating the question forcefully. "What are you?"

The boy didn't answer, continuing to look terrified, struggling.

Claire looked between the boy and the girl, but did not remove the Angel Sword from the boy's throat.

§ Worlds Colliding (Supernatural) §  

Day Two

Lebanon, Kansas

Morning - The Bunker - Library

Ness, Sabrina, Amara and Aiden were in the library, sitting at one table.

Ness was holding Aiden standing.

Aiden could stand up with a little help from Ness.

Ness let go of his hands.

Aiden fell back on his butt on the floor, sitting down, looking up at Ness, making baby sounds.

Sabrina and Amara were in awe, smiling small smiles.

Ness held her hands out to Aiden. "Come on. Come on, you can do it." Aiden gripped her fingers, trying to pull himself up. Ness smiled, pulling him up. "There you go." Aiden smiled, laughing. Sabrina and Amara smiled in awe at the sound, laughing to themselves. Ness was relieved to see that they were all happy and laughing, smiling to herself. Aiden almost losing his balance and almost falling again, cooing. Ness laughed, picking him up, setting him in her lap. "It's okay."

"Aiden's so cute," Amara told them.

Ness gently soothed a hand over Aiden's head, kissing him. "Yeah, and Aiden knows it, too." She turned Aiden to look at her, Sabrina and Amara. "Don't you, Aiden? Yeah, you know just how cute you are."

Aiden smiled. "Mama."

Ness was shocked to hear him say that, as if it was the first time, smiling in surprise, tears of happiness in her eyes. "Oh, my God."

Sabrina looked at Ness curiously. "Wait. Was that his first word?"

Ness chuckled, nodding. "Yeah."

Aiden raised his eyebrows at Ness, Sabrina and Amara.

Ness, Sabrina were overcome with awe at the adorableness of the motion, laughing.

Aiden smiled brightly, laughing his cute, soft baby laugh that rang throughout the room.

Catty, Castiel, Dean and Sam walked in, all relieved to see Amara smiling and laughing with them, loving the sound of the girls and Aiden laughing, smiling.

"Looks like Aiden is getting better," Dean told them. Ness, Sabrina and Amara looked at them. Aiden turned his head to follow their gaze, smiling excitedly when he saw them. "And it's laughter all around. Sounds so good." Ness and Sabrina smiled. Amara smiled a small smile. Dean looked at Amara. "You're doing better, I see."

"I'm trying," Amara answered. "Yeah."

Castiel, Catty, Dean and Sam set bags of food down on the other table.

"I'm glad you're doing better, Amara," Dean told her. He sat in a chair next to Ness and Amara. "Hey, Aiden. How's little Aiden doing?"

Ness looked at Aiden. "Look, Aiden. It's Daddy. Daddy's home, Aiden. Daddy." Aiden was trying to sound out the word. "Yeah, it's Daddy."

Aiden smiled. "Dada."

Ness and Dean looked at each other in shock, smiling in surprise, looking as if their hearts were melting at the adorableness.

Castiel, Catty and Sam were surprised, smiling.

Ness and Dean laughed softly.

Sabrina laughed, looking at Amara.

Amara smiled.

"Who's hungry?" Catty asked. Sabrina perked up. "We already know Sow is."

Catty, Castiel and Sam started to take out food.

Catty took out a thing of baby food, showing Ness.

Ness sighed. "Oh, joy. It's messy eating time." 

Dean walked toward the highchair in the corner by the shelves, rolling it closer to the edge of the table.

Ness stood, putting Aiden in the highchair.

Aiden fussed in complaint because he wasn't being held.

Ness took the baby food, showing it to Aiden, waving it slightly to get his attention.

Aiden looked at it curiously.

Ness opened the container of baby food, taking a small spoon to start feeding him.

Castiel saw Ness' laptop on the other table. "Did you catch a case?"

"Um, no," Ness answered. "Nothing on the Darkness-meter, either."

Sabrina looked down. "I'm starting to think that God's psycho sister has gone to ground, or is a little preoccupied."

"What makes you say that?" Catty asked.

Sabrina looked up. "I mean, preoccupied with healing after the blast. She didn't look so good the last time we saw her. If I'm still healing after what happened, I'm sure she is, too." Catty and Castiel continued to unpack the food, looking at Sabrina as if they knew something was up with her. Sabrina knew that they knew, changing the subject. "What about you? Have you heard from Aunt Ava?"

"No," Sam answered. "Ness said that Ava was working on something to draw her out, but it's been radio silence since Ava was here. All this quiet's starting to wig me out."

Dean took out a very large bacon cheeseburger with two glazed donuts holding it together from a bag, smiling. "Ooh."

Sabrina looked at it hungrily.

Amara looked at it in confusion. "What is that?"

"That?" Dean asked. "That's the Elvis."

"Elvis?" Amara repeated.

"Mm-hmm," Dean answered.

"I--is that a..." Ness trailed off.

"That's a glazed donut," Dean answered.

Sam cleared his throat. "Yeah."

"Two, actually," Dean told them. "One topside, one on the bottom. Now, your inferior versions? They'll just take on donut, split it right down the middle. Mm-mm." He clicked his tongue. "Boom." Sabrina was still looking at the Elvis hungrily. Amara looked at the Elvis curiously, tilting her head. Dean took out another Elvis, sliding it over the table toward Sabrina. "You should be happy that I got another one for Sabrina."

Sabrina smiled, her eyes and expression lighting up in happy surprise.

Catty, Castiel, Sam, Dean and Ness smiled at the reaction.

Amara looked at Sabrina, smiling.

Sabrina picked up her Elvis, taking a bite.

Ness looked at the others. "What else you got?"

Dean took out a salad, handing it to Ness. "For the birthday girl."

"Thank you," Ness told him.

Dean and Ness kissed for a long moment, pulling away.

Ness put the salad on the table in front of her, still feeding Aiden baby food.

Dean took out another Elvis and another salad, looking at Amara. "I'm not really sure what your tastes would be like, so I got you both just in case."

Amara smiled a small smile. "Thanks."

The others sat down with the girls and Aiden, starting to eat themselves.

Castiel's phone rang. He pulled it out, answering. "Hey. Long time. Yeah, you got it. We're there." He hung up, looking at the others. "How do you guys feel about South Dakota?"

          §   

Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Marshall High School - Outside 

The bell had just run.

Students were leaving.

Alex Jones was leaving the building, holding hands with her boyfriend.

A girl ran up from behind them. "Hey! Word on the street is that I'm in the presence of royalty. Future prom king and queen. You guys are in the lead."

Alex smiled. "No way." She looked at her boyfriend. "No, I mean, yeah, for you, Henry, but not me. Also, people still do that? I thought that was, like, an 80's thing."

"Oh, yeah," Henry answered. "There's crowns and everything." Sheriff Jody Mills was her Sheriff's car across the street, waiting for Alex to pick her up, watching them. "Come on. Let's have fun with it. I'll wear the dress, you wear the tux?"

Alex smirked. "You don't have the boobs for my dress."

"What?" Henry asked. "Come on, look at these things."

Alex laughed, noticing one of her teachers walking past. "Hey, Mr. P!"

"Alex," Mr. P told her. "Ready for the text tomorrow?"

"So not," Alex answered.

"Well, lucky you've got..." Mr. P trailed off, looking at his watch. "18 hours to prep. Good times."

Jody honked the horn.

Alex looked and Henry and the girl. "See you."

Henry and Alex kissed.

Jody was still watching, smiling, looking away.

          §   

Sheriff's Car

Jody was in the driver's seat.

Alex got into the passenger seat. "Oh, my God. Chem lab, I fell asleep in a pool of my own drool. Oh, and Coach is pulling double practice tomorrow. Mid field needs serious tightening." Jody merely looked at her, smiling. "What?"

Jody shook her head. "Just... you're killing it out there."

Alex smiled a small smile. "Shut up."

Jody chuckled, looking down, seeing some pills sticking out of Alex's bag. She started the car. "Fitting right in."

They drove away.

          §   

Jody's House - Outside - Sheriff's Car

Jody was in the driver's seat.

Alex was in the passenger seat.

Jody pulled them up to the house.

They saw Ness' Car and Catty's Mustang outside the house.

"Winchesters," Jody told her.

"Why would they be here?" Alex asked.

Jody sighed, looking at Alex, smiling a small smile.

          §   

Inside - Living Room

Dean, Ness and Amara were sitting on the couch.

Ness was holding Aiden on her lap.

Sam was sitting in a nearby chair.

Catty, Castiel and Sabrina were standing.

Claire was standing by the corner, overlooking things on her laptop.

Jody and Alex walked in.

"Well, there goes the neighborhood," Jody told them. "Hi." Ness smiled. Jody and Catty embraced, pulling away. Sam and Jody embraced, pulling away. Dean and Ness stood. Jody looked at Dean. "Come here."

Jody and Dean embraced, pulling away.

Jody looked at Ness and Aiden, smiling in shock. "Oh, my God. Is this Aiden?"

Ness smiled, looking at him in her arms. "Say hi to Jody, Aiden."

Aiden smiled, trying to say the word for a moment before giving up.

Jody and Ness chuckled.

Jody smiled in awe. "Oh. Aiden's so adorable." Ness handed Aiden to Jody. "And I see that Aiden gets the beautiful looks from his mama." Jody looked at Dean. "But that sparkle of the devil in Aiden's eyes? That's all you, Dean."

"Oh, I don't know," Dean told them. "Remember when Ness was the troublemaker?"

Sam scoffed playfully. "Was? Still is."

Ness smiled.

Jody chuckled, handing Aiden to Dean, looking at Ness. "Your turn. Come here." Jody and Ness smiled, embracing. "Saw your car outside, Ness, along with Catty's, but no Impala."

"Yeah, well, we would've brought Dean's Impala, but my car has the stroller and the car seat," Ness told her. They laughed, pulling away. "It has been too long."

"Yeah, clearly it's been too long," Catty told them. "'Cause, Alex, that is you, right?"

Alex smiled. "I don't look that different."

"It's amazing what you can accomplish when you spend two hours in the bathroom every morning," Claire told them.

"Since when you are even up in the morning?" Alex asked. "I'm surprised you're awake now."

"Hey, girls, girls, girls," Jody told them. "I'm pretty sure they didn't come here to watch you two kill each other."

Ness walked toward Alex. "Hey, girl. How you been holding up, Alex?'

"Good," Alex answered.

Alex and Ness embraced for a moment, pulling away, looking at each other knowingly, nodding.

Jody looked at Castiel. "Oh, and you must be Castiel."

"Yes," Castiel answered.

"It is so great to finally meet you, Cas," Jody told him.

"You, too, Jody," Castiel told her, offering her a hand.

Jody looked at the hand, deciding to ignore it, wrapping her arms around Castiel.

Castiel was surprised but returned the embrace. 

They pulled away.

Jody turned to Sabrina and Amara. "And speaking of girls..." Amara stood. "Is this the famous Sabrina?"

"Oh, yeah," Sabrina answered.

Jody and Sabrina smiled, embracing, pulling away.

"I've heard a lot about you," Jody told her.

"You, too, Sheriff Mills," Sabrina told her.

"Oh, no, please call me Jody," Jody told her.

Sabrina smiled. "Okay, Jody."

Jody slowly stepped toward Amara slowly, smiling sadly. "So this must be Amara."

"Yeah," Amara answered.

"It's good to meet you," Jody told her. She looked at Dean and Ness. Dean and Ness looked at them solemnly. "You're lucky to have these two as your parents." Jody looked at Amara. "They are the most caring and protective people I know. Also the most stubborn troublemakers, which means that they never stop raising hell to get what they want."

"I can tell," Amara told her. "And it obviously pays off."

Jody smiled sympathetically. "Come here." Jody and Amara embraced for a moment, pulling away. Jody looked over the family. "So, you called me so you could say that you were dropping by, but you didn't say why. I'm guessing that you didn't drive all the way down here just so we can have a meet and greet."

Sabrina pointed at Claire. "She--"

Claire walked closer. "I called about the monsters that you refuse to believe are monsters."

Alex and Claire walked out, leaving.

"Oh, you got to be kidding," Jody told them. 

"Well, we figured we owed you the visit," Sam told her.

Jody thought for a moment, looking at Catty and Ness. "And you know what? Actually, I could use the backup."

"Girl problems?" Ness asked.

"Big time," Jody answered. 

Catty and Ness nodded. 

"So, where should we get settled in?" Dean asked.

"Oh, no," Jody told them. "We're not staying here. The table's not big enough to fit all of us. We're going out to someplace that will. Oh, Ness, and you're gonna love this."

Ness looked at her in confusion.

          §   

Dock

(Song:) Shine - Leon Bridges

TJ'z had been rebuilt on the dock where the original bar had been from 2.03 Bloodlust to 6.21 Let It Bleed.

Jody, Claire and Alex walked up the stairs of the dock, leading the family toward the restaurant.

Sam, Dean, Catty and Ness stopped when they saw the sign for the building, stunned speechless. 

Castiel was even surprised.

"Oh, my God," Ness told them. Sabrina and Amara looked at them. Ness smiled. "Oh, my God."

Jody smiled. "That's the reaction I was going for."

"What?" Alex asked.

"I used to work at the original bar before Demons burned it down trying to take me to Crowley five years ago," Ness answered. "Before that, I worked here for almost a decade, as the bartender."

"Wow," Claire told them. "A long time to be working somewhere."

Catty smiled. "That's what I said when Ness told me about this place four years before that."

"That was right around the time that Levis burned down our apartment and Ness' father's house, the house where she grew up," Dean told them.

Ness smiled. "I never thought that they would rebuild this place."

"Yeah, well, neither did I, about a year ago," Jody told her. "Boy, was I surprised that they turned this place into a family restaurant. But, the best part is that they still have some of your specialty drinks."

"Well, then what are we waiting for?" Sam asked. "Let's go."

They smiled, walking inside.

          § 

Inside  

The group had pushed two tables together to sit around them together, with Jody sitting at one head of the table, and Aiden sitting in a highchair at the other. Catty, Sabrina, Castiel and Sam sat on one side, with an empty seat between Sam and Jody. Claire, Alex, Amara, Ness and Dean sat on the other. Claire and Alex sat closer to Jody. Ness and Dean sat closer to Aiden. They were already eating.

"Oh, the bird is fantastic," Dean told them. "And when you mix it up with the potatoes and the--the beans... You guys eat like this every day?"

Jody smiled a small smile. "It's just chicken."

"It's shaped like chicken," Sam told her. "Not a patty or--or a nugget."

The male manager walked out of a backroom, noticing them sitting together. He realized who was sitting with them. "Well, I be damned." Ness looked up. She saw who the man was, smiling. "Ness Singer."

"Oh, these days, I go by Ness Singer-Winchester, Eli," Ness told him. She held up her hand to show him her wedding ring. "Made the big commitment and then some since I last saw you." She took Dean's hand in hers. "This is my husband, Dean Winchester." She smiled from Amara on the other side of her to Aiden at the end of the table. "Son and daughter, Aiden and Amara Winchester."

Eli looked at Dean. "Well, there you go, lucky fella." 

Dean smiled.

"That's Catty and Sabrina Winchester, sister-in-law and niece, Cas, Catty's boyfriend and Sabrina's father, and Sam Winchester, brother-in-law," Ness explained. "I would introduce you to Sam's girlfriend Ava, but sadly Ava's not with us this  time. You already know Jody, Claire and Alex. Yeah, Dean's a dork and a nerd. And I don't mean he's a nerd like I'm a nerd. I mean, Star Wars, cowboy movie fetishes, superhero geek. All that jazz." She looked at Dean, smiling. "But you gotta love him."

Dean looked at Ness, pretending to be offended. "Hey, Eli..." He looked at Eli. "You guys here at TJz do the birthday chant like normal restaurants do?"

Ness knew that he was trying to get revenge playfully, shaking her head. "No, Dean, don't."

Eli smiled tauntingly. "Ooh ooh ooh." He looked toward the waitresses and waiters. "Hey, can I see you guys over here for a minute?"

"Don't do it, Eli," Ness told him.

Catty and Sabrina were laughing. Castiel, Sam and Jody smiled. Claire and Alex smirked smugly. Amara looked at them curiously. The waitresses and waiters walked over.

Eli called out. "Listen up, everybody. We got the old town bartender coming home for her birthday. I believe most of you know Ness Singer here. Oh, I'm sorry. Ness Singer-Winchester." The people that knew Ness, most of the people in the restaurant, started to applaud and cheer. "Let's give her a big welcome home by celebrating the troublemaker's birthday. What do you say?" Everyone cheered. Ness held a hand to her forehead. "Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together in a big round of applause for the former town bartender and still more than likely a little troublemaker raising hell..." He and the waiters started to clap. "One, two, three, four, here we go. I don't know, but I've been told!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant. "I don't know, but I've been told!"

Eli continued to clap, continuing the chant. "Someone here is getting old!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant. "Someone here is getting old!"

Ness hid a smile, shaking her head, embarrassed.

Dean smiled.

Eli continued to clap, continuing the chant. "I don't know what has been said!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant, along with some of the patrons, including Sabrina. "I don't know what has been said!"

Eli continued to clap, continuing the chant. "But someone's face is turning red!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant, along with some of the patrons, including Sabrina. "But someone's face is turning red!"

Ness blushed, smiling a small smile.

Catty pointed at Ness, clapping along teasingly.

Eli continued to clap, continuing the chant. "Good news is we sing for free!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant, along with some of the patrons, including Sabrina. "Good news is we sing for free!"

Eli continued to clap, continuing the chant. "Bad news is we sing off key!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant, along with some of the patrons, including Sabrina. "Bad news is we sing off key!"

Eli continued to clap, continuing the chant. "Sound off! Happy!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant, along with some of the patrons, including Amara, Dean, Catty, Sabrina, Sam and Jody. "Happy!"

Eli continued to clap, continuing the chant. "Birthday!"

The waiters and waitresses continued to clap, repeating the chant, along with some of the patrons, including Amara, Dean, Catty, Sabrina, Sam and Jody. "Birthday!"

Everyone clapped and chanted together. "Happy birthday! To you!"

Ness smiled, standing, waving. 

Everyone cheered.

"Thank you," Ness told them. "We're here all weekend."

Everyone laughed, cheering one last time.

Ness sat down.

Eli, the waiters and the waitresses dispersed.

Everything started to calm down.

(Song Ends)

Dean looked at Ness smugly. "Not bad for a dork, a nerd, or a geek, huh?"

Ness smiled, shaking her head. "I'm gonna kill you."

Dean smiled.

Amara watched them thoughtfully, smiling a small smile.

Claire let a moment pass. "Can we get to the case?" Everyone at the table looked at her. "Three people are missing."

"There is no evidence that they didn't skip town on their own," Jody told them. "Two of them were runaways. One was a homeless guy."

"He was last seen at Brayden Point," Claire told them. "I've been stalking it out."

"Brayden Point?" Catty asked.

"Yeah, it's where the kids go to make out," Jody answered. 

"Guys, there's something out there," Claire told them. "People are reporting animals they've never seen before, things stalking their front yards that disappear."

Alex grabbed Jody's glass of alcohol to take a drink.

Jody looked at the others. "This is according to the--" She noticed Alex took her glass. "Hey, put it back." Alex put the glass down. "Neighborhood crime blogs that Claire has been reading."

"They're eyewitness accounts," Claire told them.

"We've hunted on less," Sam told them.

Sabrina looked at Claire. "What else you got?"

Claire looked down. "I'm--I'm working on it."

Amara frowned.

"Claire did catch a Werewolf," Alex told them. She looked at Claire. "Oh, right, it turned out to be a German Shepherd with rabies."

"And before that was the Vampire, councilwoman into erotic cosplay," Jody told them. "I didn't know what cosplay was before that. Super-embarrassing for the whole force."

Castiel looked at Claire. "Wow. You've been busy."

"I've been hunting," Claire told them.

"AKA, menacing innocent people," Jody told them. "Claire has a whole string of assaults racked up. The only reason she's not sitting in jail right now is that I'm the Sheriff."

"Fine, I've been wrong," Claire told them. "But this time, I know there's a monster."

"Can we stop talking about monsters and hunting?" Alex asked. "What about real life?"

"Real life?" Claire repeated. "Okay." She smirked. "Yeah, sure. Let's get real. You and Henry settle on a weekend yet?"

"What?" Alex asked.

"When you're sneaking out to Jody's cabin to screw yourselves silly," Claire told her.

Amara had been in the middle of taking a drink of water, nearly choking in surprise.

Alex looked at Claire in shock that she would say that.

Sabrina looked surprised.

Ness, Dean, Catty, Castiel and Sam were awkward.

"Whoa," Dean told them. He cleared his throat. "Here we go."

Jody looked at Alex in surprise.

Alex looked at Jody sheepishly. "We're not..." Claire smirked smugly, looking away. Alex glared at her. "You're completely insane."

"You might want to clear your G-chats before you commit to that," Claire told her.

"This seems like, uh, female business," Sam told them, standing to leave.

Aiden started to fuss.

"Sit," Jody told him. "Stay." Sam sat down. Amara chuckled. Dean cleared his throat awkwardly, pulling Aiden out of his highchair, holding him in his lap to get him to stop fussing. Jody looked at Alex. "Um..." She cleared her throat. "Alex, anything you want to say?"

Claire looked at Alex expectantly. 

"Nope," Alex answered.

"Okay," Jody told her. "Uh, well, um, I--I may have... I've definitely seen birth control pills in your backpack."

Catty looked down, pressing her lips together. "Oh, we're going there."

Castiel cleared his throat awkwardly. "Okay."

Sabrina frowned in confusion.

Amara looked between them in amusement.

Alex looked at Jody. "Oh, my God."

"Hey, if we can't talk about it, we shouldn't be doing it, right?" Jody asked. She looked at the others. "Right?"

"What?" Dean asked.

Catty ignored him, looking at the others, nodding awkwardly in agreement.  "Yeah, uh, what she said."

"Try to be a little more convincing, Catty," Jody told her. "I mean, you and Cas have gone through this before with Sabrina, haven't you?"

Sabrina chuckled nervously. "What? Me? No. No, not me. No guys. Don't talk to any. Mm-mm. None." Catty looked at Sabrina in confusion, knowing that she was trying too hard. Sabrina shook her head nervously, picking up her glass of water. "I don't even know what you guys are talking about."

Sabrina took a drink.

Castiel looked at Sabrina, unconvinced. "Really? Your message on Ava's voicemail suggests differently."

Ness, Dean and Catty were confused.

Sabrina was so surprised she nearly choked on water, coughing.

Amara looked at Sabrina curiously in amusement.

Sabrina put her glass down, avoiding from looking at Castiel. "You heard Aunt Ava's voicemail, huh?"

"Yes," Castiel answered.

"Aunt Ava never forgets to answer her phone, so I didn't think anyone would hear that message," Sabrina told them.

"Well, I did," Castiel told her.

"So did I," Sam told her.

Sabrina was embarrassed. "Oh."

"Wait, what message?" Ness asked.

"Basically Sow saying that she knows what 'in the shower' means," Sam answered.

Jody, Claire, Alex and Amara looked at Sabrina.

Sabrina looked down.

Ness and Dean were chastised, looking away.

Catty shook off her reaction, looking at Sabrina. "And you've hardly been in the Bunker lately why?"

Sabrina looked up nervously. "Well, I--I..."

"Sabrina?" Catty asked.

Sabrina tilted her head awkwardly. "I might have met this... one Angel."

Amara raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Ooh."

"Angel?" Catty repeated. "Who? When?"

"Levi," Castiel answered, looking at Sabrina in confusion.

Catty looked at Castiel in surprise. "You knew about this?"

"I was there when Sabrina and Levi met, sort off, Catty," Castiel told her.

"When?" Catty asked.

"In the desert after the explosion with Amara and the Darkness," Sabrina answered.

Amara looked at Sabrina curiously. "Levi was the Angel you saved from the Darkness."

"Yeah," Sabrina answered. "But it's not what you think. He's--Levi's just helping me with some things."

"Yeah, I'm sure he is," Amara told her.

Sabrina looked confused, opening her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

Catty and Castiel exchanged a look, confused over Sabrina's behavior.

Jody sighed, looking at Alex. "Okay, I'm not gonna tell you that you are too young to be having sex." She looked at Claire. "Or you."

Dean used his fingers to cover Aiden's ears.

Ness smiled a small smile at the gesture.

Alex scoffed, pointing to Claire. "Who's she gonna have sex with? She doesn't talk to anybody."

"Hey," Jody told them.

Ness looked at Claire, Alex, Amara and Sabrina. "Um, what I will tell you is that birth control pills are useless against STDs. Whoever you are with needs to suit up every time, always. No pulling up the drawbridge early."

Amara smiled.

"Oh, I get it," Alex told them.

Sabrina looked confused.

"And don't expect the guy to always show up packing," Ness told them. She looked at Catty. "Right?"

Catty cleared her throat, looking at Sabrina. "Yeah."

Sabrina looked up, noticing that Catty was looking at her. "Why are you looking at me?"

Castiel tilted his head. "Sow."

"Stop," Alex told them. "We haven't done anything yet. I'm just... trying to be prepared."

"Great," Castiel told them. "Um... we need some more drinks, right? We need d--we need--we need drinks." He downed the rest of his glass, placing it down, raising a hand toward a passing by waiter. "Waiter."

Amara looked from Sabrina's embarrassed expression to Alex's. She looked around Alex to look at Claire. "This is fun."

Amara laughed.

            §   

Night - Jody's House - Outside

Catty and Castiel were talking outside.

"I thought we were gonna be helping with monsters, not birth control," Castiel told her.

Catty smirked. "Yeah, me, too. But I guess Jody thought that Claire and Alex, and Amara and Sabrina needed the talk, too. And she's not wrong, Cas. Just didn't think that would come this soon." She sat down on the porch steps. Castiel walked closer. Catty looked up at him. "Did you know where Sabrina was taking off to lately?"

"No," Castiel answered.

"Cas, is a good thing or a bad thing that Sow's been hanging out with Levi, who's still an Angel?" Catty asked.

"Normally, I would say a bad thing," Castiel told her. "But I know Levi, Catty. He's honorable and kind, and he never really agreed with Angel politics to begin with. Levi was on my side when Ava and I were fighting Raphael." 

"Really?" Catty asked.

"Yeah," Castiel answered. He sat on the porch next to Catty. "I know that your first instinct is to not trust Levi because you haven't met him yet. And you just want to protect Sow. But I trust Levi, Catty. He's one of the good ones. Levi helped Sabrina after she went to war against the Darkness to save Amara. And in return, she saved his life when he was in danger. I think that having someone outside the family to talk to about our life, like Levi, could be a good thing for Sabrina."

Catty took this seriously for a moment, nodding in agreement. "Yeah. I guess you're right, Cas. You think this is the reason why Sabrina's been acting so strange around us the past few days? Because Sabrina knew that we would react this way, and she that's why she didn't wanna tell us about Levi?"

"It's a good possibility, yeah," Castiel answered. "I can talk to Claire, and get her to settle down. Catty, you should talk to Sabrina. Let her know that of course you're worried about her, but that you don't want that to stop her from getting the chance to have a friend outside the family. Like Levi."

Catty nodded in agreement. "You're right. I'll talk to Sabrina. You talk to Claire."

            §   

Inside - Claire's Room

Claire was stretched out on her bed with her laptop open and a few lore books.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Claire called.

Castiel walked in. "Claire."

"Hey," Claire told him.

"You, uh... you got a minute?" Castiel asked.

"Yeah," Claire answered, standing, walking over to her dresser.

Castiel looked around the mostly scarce room. "Looks like you and Catty have the same decorating philosophy."

"It's not like I need the Biebs on my wall," Claire told him. "I was thinking tomorrow, we could go to families of the people who disappeared, and see if there's any connection between them."

"Right, um, about that..." Castiel trailed off. "Claire, I know how it can be. The hunter life, consumes you. There is no nine to five. You start seeing monsters everywhere..."

"So, you think I'm nuts?" Claire asked.

"No," Castiel answered. "Of course not. What I'm saying is... I'm not sure you have a case. And, lately, it seems like you've spent a lot of time hunting monsters that weren't there."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Claire asked.

Castiel sighed. "You wouldn't be the first hunter who is trying to escape something."

"And what am I escaping, exactly, aside from mind-numbing boredom?" Claire asked, walking toward her bed, sitting down.

"You tell me," Castiel told her. "And how are things with Jody and Alex? And I'm not taking sides. I'm just trying to understand what's going on."

"They're not trying to make me feel bad," Claire told him. "I mean, Alex says she hates me, but, um... Sometimes, I just feel like I'm a little late to the Jody and Alex show."

Castiel sighed. "Yeah. Well, they have been through some heavy things together."

Claire nodded. "Maybe it's time I just head out on my own. And be a full-fledged hunter."

"Claire, I absolutely understand the need to hunt," Castiel told her. "But the monsters are always going to be there. On and on. Forever. But a chance at a family? At a home? School? That won't be."

Claire didn't answer, but it appeared she was thinking about what he was saying.

            §   

Marshall High School - Outside

The parking lot was deserted.

Mr. P was walking to his car.

The lights went out.

Mr. P stopped walking, looking around.

A shadowy figure moved quickly behind him.

Mr. P took out his keys, going to unlock his car.

A person in a hoodie appeared behind him, grabbing Mr. P, slamming him repeatedly against the door of his car.

            §   

 Day Three 

Marshall High School - Outside

Alex and Henry walked across the street toward the school, with Alex leading the way.

Alex looked at her phone. "Come on. We're gonna be late."

Henry came up behind Alex, tickling her, teasing her. "'Come on. We're gonna be late'."

Alex laughed. "I wanna catch Mr. P before the test."

They realized that all of the other students had stopped, looking up.

Henry and Alex stopped, following the gazes.

Mr. P was hanging upside down from his foot at the top of the flag pole, dead.

Alex was horrified.

            §   

A fireman and a coroner wheeled the body off of the school's campus.

Sam, Dean and Catty were posing as FBI.

Castiel was dressed normally.

Jody was leading them across campus. "Victim's name is Stephen Phelps. He was a math teacher. Alex's favorite, actually."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Sam told her.

"Phelps was found hanging upside-down from the top of the flagpole, duct taped," Jody told them. "Like his neck had been snapped first."

"Any witnesses?" Dean asked.

"Only the lucky custodian that found him," Jody answered.

"So, how did the killer get Phelps u there in the first place?" Sam asked. "Unless he had his own firetruck?"

"Yeah, so our killer climbs up 20 feet with a guy on his back and then duct tapes him?" Dean asked.

"Yeah, and why?" Catty asked.

Jody pulled out a plastic evidence bag. "We found this around the flagpole, if it means anything. We already sent a sample to the lab."

Sam looked into the bag, shaking his head.

"What else do you know about Phelps?" Dean asked.

"Just that he was a damn fine teacher," Jody answered. "He really helped Alex out. I know that."

Claire walked toward them. "I knew it. So, what are we dealing with? Demons? Ghost possession?"

"Claire, this is a crime scene," Jody told her. "You can't be here."

"Oh, but the fake FBI can?" Claire asked.

Jody looked around. "Keep your voice down."

Castiel pulled Claire away. "Come here."

"I was trying to work the case," Claire told him. "The case everyone said wasn't real."

"And you know what?" Castiel asked. "You were right, okay? There is something unnatural going on here, but you can't just walk up in front of a bunch of officers and demand that the Sheriff give you details on a murder investigation."

"Can we talk about the body now?" Claire asked.

"Oh, I'm not even near finished," Castiel told her. "You need to show Jody a little respect. She did you a huge favor by taking you in. She got you set up at school."

"I don't want to go to school," Claire told him.

"Nobody wants to go to school, Claire," Castiel told her. "It's school."

"Exactly," Claire told him.

"My point is, she's doing everything she can to get you set up with a life," Castiel told her. "She's feeding you. She kept you out of jail."

Claire looked down, shaking her head. "I never asked her to."

"And that's what I'm talking about," Castiel told her. "You need to act like you care. You need to appreciate what that woman's done for you."

Claire was obviously affected by what he had to say.

            §   

Inside - Hallway

Jody and Sam were questioning the principal.

"Was there anyone that Mr. Phelps had run-ins with recently?" Jody asked. "Staff, parents, students?"

"No, not that I know of," the principal answered. "Parents would bake brownies for that man."

"Well, we're gonna wanna, um, interview your staff and students, as well as have access to personnel records," Sam told her.

"Whatever you need," the principal told them. "We gotta catch that bastard. Turn his insides out and string him up."

Sam and Jody reacted silently in surprise to the over-the-top strangeness of the principal's statement.

Sam nodded awkwardly. "Glad you're on our side."

            §   

Hallway 2

Sabrina and Amara were walking through the hallway together.

Sabrina looked around. "So, this is what high school looks like." She looked at Amara. "I never got to go to school. I always, uh..."

"Grew up too fast," Amara finished.

"Yeah," Sabrina answered. "But your mom taught me everything that normal kids know. And Aunt Ness is an awesome teacher."

Amara smiled a small smile. "When I was..." She let the smile fade uncomfortably. "Possessed..." They stopped walking, turning to face each other. "The Darkness was being taught about everything about the world she could possibly learn while I was with her. And six months is a long time, Sabrina. She learned a lot. So, I learned a lot, too."

Sabrina smiled sadly, sympathetically. "You're not with her anymore, Amara. You don't have go through that anymore." They heard a door open behind Amara, looking in that direction to see a few teachers walk out into the hallway. The teachers could not see Sabrina or Amara, revealing that Sabrina cloaked them from view, walking away, leaving. Sabrina looked at Amara. "Come on. There's no EMF in the school. I wanna see what I can sense outside."

Amara nodded in agreement.

Sabrina and Amara walked down the hallway.

            §   

Basement

Catty and Dean were now in the basement, interviewing the custodian.

"Well, I raise the flag in the morning, and, uh, he's--he's stuck up there, you know, like a bug on a stick," the custodian told them. "I thought it was a prank at first, but, uh, you know, like it was a dummy or something like that, but..." He chuckled nervously. "It wasn't."

"Did you know Mr. Phelps?" Catty asked.

The custodian shrugged. "Seen him around."

"Have you noticed anything weird?" Dean asked. "Or out of the ordinary going on at the school lately?"

"Do you mean weirder than a dead teacher taped to the top of a flagpole, or..." the custodian trailed off.

Dean looked at him in annoyance. "Before you discovered Mr. Phelps, had you noticed any unusual... signs, or sounds, or smells..."

The custodian laughed. "Smells. Well, you know, this place kinda always stinks. Kids are slobs, you know? But I do the best that I can. But, uh..."

"Mr. Wheeler, you don't seem too upset about the, uh, graphic scene you came upon this morning," Catty told him.

"Well, what can I tell you?" Wheeler asked. "I didn't know the guy."

"And where were you last night?" Dean asked. "And earlier this morning before you found the body?"

Wheeler paused. "This is confidential, right?" Catty nodded. "I was passed out at the Blind Donkey."

            §   

Woods

Alex and Henry walked through in the woods alongside a stream.

"You okay?" Henry asked. "I know you were tight with Mr. Phelps."

"He thought I was super smart," Alex told him. "Said I should ditch soccer and join the math team."

"You are super smart," Henry told her.

"And what he must've gone through," Alex told him. "Nobody should die like that."

"People are messed up," Henry told her. "Never thought we'd have an actual psychopath here in Sioux Falls."

"There are awful things out there," Alex told him.

"What do you mean?" Henry asked.

Alex hesitated in guilt. "Henry... I wasn't always this girl. Sometimes, I look at myself in the mirror, and I'm like... that's me?"

"You said... you had to run away from home," Henry told her. "Jody took you in."

Alex looked away. "You should know... I've done some really bad things."

Flashback - 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann"

A Deputy was hauling a struggling Alex through the hallway.

            §   

Holding Cell

Alex yelled from inside the cell. "Let me out!"

Day - Woods 

Henry and Alex sat nearby the stream.

Alex gazed off in guilt. "Hurt people."

            § 

Flashback - 9.19 "Alex Annie Alexis Ann"

Night - Bar  

Alex was sitting at the bar.

A creepy man was hitting on her.

They stood, walking out, leaving the bar together.

            §   

Derelict House - Living Room

Alex led the man inside.

The man stepped closer. "You got any idea what I'm about to do to you?"

"Yeah," Alex answered. "I do. Nothing."

The Vampire brothers walked in, swarming around the man.

The Vampires started to feed on the man, making him scream in agony.

Alex turned her back to them, closing her eyes, revolted, desperate. 

            § 

Now

Day - Woods

Henry and Alex were sitting by the stream.

Alex was overcome with guilt and self-loathing, standing. "I should've told you before."

"Everybody's done stuff they're ashamed of," Henry told her. "I mean, there was this one kid we all tortured in middle school. I--I can't even think about it." Alex didn't answer, keeping her back to him. Henry stood, walking closer. "Alex. Hey." He turned her to face him. "I don't care. Whatever it is you did. I don't. Okay?" He brushed her hair behind her ear. "And you never have to tell me anything if you don't want to."

Henry kissed Alex for a moment, pulling away.

Alex wrapped her arms around him.

Henry returned the embrace.

            §   

Jody's House - Living Room

Ness was sitting on the couch with Aiden, on her laptop.

Sam, Dean, Catty, Sabrina, Amara, Castiel, Claire and Jody walked in.

"Hey," Ness told them. "Anything?"

"Vampire," Sabrina answered. "What about you? I mean, I could just follow the Vamp's trail, but it would be so much easier if you could help us narrow it down."

Ness smiled a small smile. "So, the lab contacted me with the results back on that fiber from the crime scene."

"And?" Dean asked.

"Asbestos," Ness answered.

"Asbestos?" Sam repeated.

"So, our killer's fire-retardant?" Claire asked. "What does that mean?"

"Well, not much yet," Ness answered. "And Wheeler the janitor? His alibi checks out. But his social security number does not." She showed them the information on her laptop. "It belongs to Marnie Garcia, who died in 1988."

"And Wheeler started at Marshall a few months ago, when the disappearances started," Claire told them. "The ones I said were supernatural in the first place."

"Yes, we know," Jody told her. "You keep reminding us."

"Okay, I'm gonna run Wheeler's ID photo through the FBI database," Ness told them.

"Can you get an address, or am I gonna have to track this Vamp by scent?" Sabrina asked.

Ness wrote down an address, handing it to Sabrina.

Sabrina took it, smiling smugly.

"I can go with you, Sabrina," Claire told her.

"Okay, hold on there, Quantico," Jody told her. "You and I are leaving in a half an hour. The registrar, remember?"

"Reschedule it," Claire told her.

"Again?" Jody asked. "Uh-uh. You are going to beg him to let you re-enroll tonight."

"When there's a killer out there?" Claire asked.

"Hey," Castiel told her, giving Claire a look.

Claire sighed, giving in, walking away, leaving.

            §   

Night - Jody's House - Living Room

Ness was trying to get a crying Aiden to calm down.

Amara was sitting on the couch. "Does Aiden usually do this?"

"No," Ness answered. "No, Aiden's usually really calm, Amara. He only gets like this once in a while." She bounced Aiden slightly on her hip, turning from one way to the other to try to get him calmed down. "Shh, shh, shh. It's okay, Aiden. It's okay. Shh. It's okay, Aiden."

Aiden continued to cry.

They heard something from outside.

Ness and Amara looked toward the door.

Amara stood. "Mom..."

Ness looked at Amara, putting a finger to her lips, putting Aiden on the couch. "Amara. Watch Aiden."

Amara nodded understandingly.

Ness walked toward the table where her duffle bag and laptop were, taking a large blade out from her bag.

Aiden was still crying, as if he could sense something was wrong.

            §   

Outside

Ness slowly, quietly, stepped out of the house.

A man had his back to Ness, texting on his phone. He sensed Ness behind him, turning around, baring Vampire fangs, hissing. Ness slashed the blade toward him. The Vampire raised an arm to block the move. Ness kicked his legs out from under him, making him fall to the ground. The Vampire stood. Ness slashed toward him. The Vampire ducked. Ness punched him with either arm, making him back away, spinning to kick him in the back, making him stumble forward into the wall of the house, spinning to try to kick him again. The Vampire ducked, spinning around to stand behind her, turning to face her. Ness turned to face him. The Vampire tried to punch her. Ness ducked, stabbing him in the stomach with the blade, taking it out, making him double over in pain, taking the blade out of his stomach, raising it up to swing down through his neck, decapitating him. She watched the body fall, breathing heavily. She noticed the Vampire's phone on the ground, picking it up, looking at the text he had sent before the fight.

Not here. Registrar.

Another Vampire ran toward Ness, tackling her to the ground, kicking the blade out of her hand, kicking her hand so hard he broke it, making her groan a scream of pain. He turned Ness onto her back, pinning her down, baring his fangs to bite her.

A blade sliced through his throat, decapitating him. The body fell to the ground, revealing Amara standing behind him with the blade.

Ness held her broken hand, groaning in pain. "Oh..." She tilted her head up, surprised Amara had been the one to kill the Vampire to save her mother. "Thanks, Amara."

Amara was shocked that she had done it, nodding. "Yeah."

Amara and Ness breathed heavily, trying to catch their breath.

            §   

Registrar Building - Outside

Jody and Claire were dressed professionally, getting out of the Sheriff's Car. 

"I feel like a total ass-hat," Claire told her. "Who dresses like this?"

"You know, there is a reason why murderers put on monkey suits when the go in front of a judge," Jody told her.

Wheeler came up from behind Jody, grabbing her, hitting her head against the trunk of the car, making her fall to the ground.

Claire ran around the car. "Jody!"

Wheeler grabbed Claire, pushing her against the front of the car. "I always thought you were the pretty one."

Wheeler gripped Claire by her throat, strangling her, descending his Vampire fangs. 

Claire drew her knife.

Wheeler wrestled it out of her hand, tossing it down, starting to punch Claire in the face repeatedly.

Jody picked up the knife from the ground, slashing Wheeler in the back, trying to pull herself up.

Wheeler kicked Jody in the leg, breaking it, making her scream in pain.

 House - Outside

Sam, Dean, Catty, Sabrina and Castiel walked out of the house.

"And a fake address," Sabrina told them. "Well, I am loving this guy."

Dean's phone rang. He pulled it out, answering. "Ness, what's going on?"

Ness and Amara walked into the house toward Aiden on the couch. Aiden, who was completely calm now, quiet.

"Two Vampires came by the house, Dean," Ness told him.

Dean was worried. "What? Are you, Aiden and Amara okay?"

"Yeah," Ness answered. "Amara and I took care of it."

Dean was surprised. "I'm not surprised that you did, but Amara did too? Wait. Where're Jody and Claire?"

"They had already left," Ness told him. "But, Dean, one of the Vamps had a phone, and he sent a text to an unknown number saying, 'Not here. Registrar'."

"You thinking that they're looking for them?" Dean asked.

"Jody, Claire, and/or Alex," Ness answered.

Dean sighed. "All right." He hung up, turning to the others. "We gotta go."

"What happened?" Sam asked.

"Vampires came for Ness, Amara and Aiden," Dean answered. "Ness and Amara killed them. They're after Claire, Alex and Jody. Sow, let's go."

            §   

Registrar Building - Outside

Jody was on the ground, breathing heavily, holding her leg in pain.

Claire fell to the ground next to her, unconscious.

Jody looked at Claire worriedly. He looked up at Wheeler.

Wheeler looked down at Jody, stomping down toward her head to make her fall unconscious.

            §   

Jody's House - Outside

Sam, Dean, Ness, Amara, Catty and Castiel were waiting for news.

Ness was able to move her hand, as she had been healed.

Sabrina appeared, walking toward them. "I went to the registrar. Signs of struggle, found Jody's phone, Claire's knife, but no Jody, and no Claire."

"So, whoever it was, the Vamp was lying in wait for them when they arrived," Castiel told them.

Ness' phone rang. She took it out, answering. "Assistant Director Murray. No, I have not seen the Sheriff, either. I'd be happy to pass on the information. Uh, what do you got?" She looked at the others. "They identified the custodian."

"Okay," Sam told her.

"Richard Beesom," Ness told them. "He's a trucker out of O'Neill, Nebraska. He's been missing for three years." She spoke into the phone. "Thank you." She hung up. "His family was found exsanguinated. Throats ripped out. He's a Vamp." She thought for a moment. "O'Neill... isn't that where Alex was from? Where her nest was?"

"So, what, Beesom was part of Alex's old nest?" Catty asked.

"I don't think so," Ness answered. "Not if he went after Jody and Claire." She sighed, tilting her head down. "Unless he was a victim of said nest, and Alex was used as their lure."

Sam realized what she already had. "This is revenge against Alex for what the Vamps did to him."

Ness nodded. "I gotta call Alex."

"I'll look for Alex, and then we'll go save Jody and Claire, and I'm gonna kill the sons of bitches that took them and hurt Aunt Ness, and tried to hurt Amara and Aiden," Sabrina told them.

Castiel gave her a look, not for the threat, but for 'sons of bitches'. "Sow."

"Oh, come on, Cas," Catty told him in amusement. "Sabrina hears me, Dean and Ness say 'sons of bitches' all the damn time. Even Sam and Ava from time to time. I'm surprised it didn't rub off on Sow sooner."

Castiel knew she was right, sighing. "Catty..."

Catty and Sabrina smiled, which caused the others to smirk.

Amara was impressed, looking at Catty and Castiel. "Wow. Sabrina doesn't mess around."

Catty and Castiel shook their heads.

            §   

50's Burgers Diner - Outside

Sabrina appeared outside the diner, looking around.

Alex and Henry's friend, the girl from the high school, walked out with a few other girls, laughing. She saw Sabrina. "Oh, hey, you're that one girl. The girl Alex was with."

"Yeah, that's me," Sabrina answered. "Have you seen Alex, by chance?"

"Yeah," the girl answered. "She just left with her boyfriend Henry."

"You know where?" Sabrina asked.

"No," the girl answered. "But a lot of the kids like to hit up the old high school at the edge of town. It's old and abandoned and creepy, and kids go there a lot for a thrill seek."

"Thanks," Sabrina told her.

The girl nodded.

Sabrina turned around, walking away.

            §   

Sioux Falls Abandoned High School - Hallway

Alex and Henry were walking down the dark, deserted, trashed hallway laughing.

"What are we doing here?" Alex asked. "What is this place?"

"I told you, this place is like a haunted mansion," Henry told her. "You said that your life felt like a freak show. So, welcome to the real freak show."

"You think this will help me feel better?" Alex asked in amusement.

"Or scare the hell out of you," Henry answered. "It's worth a shot."

Henry led Alex down the hallway.

            §   

Pool Building

Jody and Claire were tied up.

Richard and three Vampires stood guard.

"Those are the people that went missing," Claire told him.

"Those are the idiots that came here to get their jollies on old abandoned schools," Richard told them. "They're like special delivery. Just waiting for trash day."

Jody looked at Claire in regret. "You were right." She looked at Richard. "What are we here for?"

They heard the door open.

Henry led Alex inside, closing the door behind them.

Alex saw what was happening. "What the hell is this?"

"Your whole life," Richard answered.

Richard let his Vampire fangs descend.

The three Vampires let their fangs descend.

Alex looked scared, turning toward Henry. "Get out of here!"

Henry stood in the way of the door, smirking, shaking his head. "I'm not going anywhere."

Henry let fangs descend, revealing himself as a Vampire.

Alex was horrified.

            §   

Alex was now tied up as well, across the room from Jody and Claire.

"How's this for a family reunion, huh?" Richard asked. He laughed. "Would've invited my own, but, uh, they died. Couple years ago. Do you know how?" He looked at Alex. "You figured out who I am?"

"I don't know you," Alex told him.

Richard chuckled in disbelief. "You don't remember? Oh. You took my life, and you don't remember? Three years ago. Nebraska. Some sleaze bag was taking you home outside of a bar, and I chased him. 'Cause, see, you were so young, and I could see that you didn't want anything to do with the guy. I mean, I--I thought maybe some pimp was working you. I gave you a few twenties, and told you I would drive you home."

Alex had tears in her eyes as he continued to jog her memory. "I do remember you."

Richard nodded. "Oh. Oh, good. You remember how you didn't say a word all the way?"

            § 

Flashback

O'Neill, Nebraska

Night - Derelict House - Outside 

The car pulled up outside the house.

Alex got out of the car without a word, walking away.

Richard got out of the car. "Is this your house? Hey!"

Richard: (voice over) "And then they came."

The Vampire nest jumped Richard, feeding on him, making him scream in agony.

Alex continued walking away, tears in her eyes, guilty and hating herself.

            §   

Now

Night - Sioux Falls Abandoned High School - Pool Building

Jody, Claire and Alex were still tied up.

Richard, Henry and the three Vampires were standing nearby.

Richard looked at Alex. "Whole starving pack tore into me. They drank me alive. They turned me!"

Alex was in tears.

"Leave her alone!" Jody told him. "She had no choice!"

Richard ignored her. "That is when the real fun began, because I went home to tell my wife what happened, but, see, I was covered in blood. My own blood. Which made me crazy. Starving. I lost control. I gutted her. And my boy."

"I'm so sorry," Alex told him. "They--they made me."

"You could have left me outside that bar," Richard told her. "I tried to help you. I was a good man. And you know the only thing that kept me going was the knowledge that I would find you one day, and I would make you pay."

"You see, Rich, he was tracking you for months, Alex," Vampire 1 told her. "Yeah, he's been watching you."

"What for?" Alex asked.

"Well, I was just gonna kill you outright, but, of course, you were just so miserable and alone, it would've been a mercy killing," Richard told her. Henry laughed. "I wanted you to be happy first. I wanted you to have something precious, so that I could take it from you."

"So, he turned the most popular kid in school and sent him after you," Vampire 2 told her. "Henry would build you up..."

"And I would chop you right down," Richard finished. "Piece by piece. I'd take your teacher, your boyfriend." He gestured to the three Vampires. "And then I'll feed you to my nest."

Alex looked at Henry in angry betrayal. "Nothing? None of it was real?"

"Seriously, Al?" Henry asked. "You were a complete freak. I mean, you were an angry longer, creeping around the school like some kind of Trench Coat Mafia."

"You're gonna burn in Hell, you sociopath," Claire told him.

Henry ignored her, looking at Alex. "I could never date someone like you."

Alex spat in Henry's face.

Richard punched Alex in the face.

"Stop it!" Jody told them.

Vampire 3 pretended to charge at Jody, fangs out, to scare her, walking away.

"Don't mess with this one," Richard told them. "He's got a real mean streak, you know. You know this one, couldn't just kill Mr. Phelps. He had to run him up a flagpole for the whole school to salute."

"Well, she saw him, didn't she?" Vampire 3 replied.

"You brought a lot of cops," Richard told him. He looked at Jody, Claire and Alex. "But he's young. He'll learn."

Richard grabbed Claire, dragging her away from Jody, toward the three Vampires.

"Get off me!" Claire told him.

Jody was panicking. "They know we're here! Those FBI? They're hunters. They know that you killed Phelps, and they killed Alex's entire nest. Just ask her."

"It's--it's true," Alex told them.

"And they have these extraordinary creatures on their side," Claire told them. "An Angel and the True Hybrid. Their family, our friends. They've taken on things a lot scarier things than Vampires, and they're coming for you."

Richard pulled on Claire's hair. "Shut up!"

Claire glared up at him. "Ow!"

            §   

Jody's House - Living Room

The family was waiting for Sabrina.

Sabrina appeared, walking toward them as she started talking instantly. "Alex and Henry were at 50's Diner on Lake, but they left. One of their friends told me about the old abandoned Sioux Falls high school."

Ness nodded. "Yeah, I went there. Place was haunted, actually. Nasty Ghosts. Dad and I couldn't find the remains, so we had to do things the old fashioned way. Just took out the whole school while no one was there. They never could trace that back to us. Now people just go there for a natural scare like it's an amusement park." She realized something. "And when buildings burn on a high scale, asbestos fibers can become airborne."

"Like the asbestos fiber they found on the teacher's body," Sam told them.

"What are we waiting for?" Catty asked. "Let's go."

"Good luck," Ness told them.

Sam, Dean, Catty and Castiel walked toward Sabrina.

Ness and Amara watched them.

            §   

Sioux Falls Abandoned High School - Pool Building

Jody, Claire and Alex were still tied up.

The Vampires were standing nearby.

"Henry, the killing and the running all the time?" Alex asked. "You don't want that."

"What?" Henry asked. "You did this. You did this to all of us."

Richard pulled Claire up from the floor, pushing her in front of Alex. "You are gonna watch everyone you love die."

"Check your intel, you pig," Claire told him. "Alex hates me."

Richard twisted Claire's arm, making her gasp in pain.

Alex was panicking. "I'll help you. Let them go, and I'll work for you. You know how good I am. I kept a whole nest alive for eight years. And--and you can feed on me when the hunting goes dry. And it goes dry. I know."

Richard appeared to be thinking this over. "You know, I might take you up on that."

There was a long pause.

Richard let his fang descend, biting Claire on the neck, making her scream.

"No!" Jody told him.

Claire continued to scream.

            §   

Hallway

The family was looking through the school. 

They could hear Claire's screaming in the distance.

            §   

Pool Building

Richard continued feeding on Claire, making her fall unconscious.

Sabrina appeared, pulling Richard away from Claire and Alex, punching him in the stomach, making him double over in pain, kicking him in the head, making him fall to the floor.

Sam, Dean, Catty and Castiel ran inside.

Sam, Dean and Catty each had a machete.

Two Vampires turned to face them.

Vampire 1 tried to punch Sam. Sam ducked, slashing his machete through his neck, decapitating him, watching the body fall.

Vampire 2 ran toward Catty. Catty ducked underneath his arm, spinning around to stand behind him, turning to face him, decapitating him from behind, watching the body fall.

Sabrina went to smite Richard.

Vampire 3 approached Sabrina from behind.

"Sabrina--" Alex started. Sabrina sensed Vampire 3 behind her, turning around, backhand punching him in the face, making him fall to the floor. "Behind you."

Castiel used magic to untie Jody, Claire and Alex.

Claire was awake, struggling to stand.

Catty helped Claire stand.

Richard stood, turning to run, almost running into Castiel.

Castiel glared at Richard, placing a hand on his head, smiting him, killing him with a flash of bright white light, letting him fall.

Vampire 3 stood, turning to run toward the door. Dean stood off to the side a bit, holding his machete toward him, making him impale himself, taking it out, letting him fall to his knees, decapitating him, killing him, watching the body fall.

Jody groaned in pain. "Sam." Sam helped Jody stand. Jody couldn't keep pressure on her broken leg. "It had to be the leg. I'm gonna need bionics."

Henry turned to run.

Sabrina appeared in front of Henry, pulling him to a stop in front of Alex. "He's all yours now."

Alex glared at Henry.

Henry sighed, breathing heavily. "I should have tapped that when I had the chance."

"Keep dreaming about me," Alex told him, punching Henry in the face, looking at Sabrina, nodding.

Sabrina put a hand to Henry's head, smiting him, killing him with a flash of bright white light, letting him fall.

Everyone looked at each other, nodding.

            §   

Day Four

Morning - Jody's House - Dining Room

The dining room table was set with plates of pancakes, bacon, and fruit.

Alex poured orange juices into glasses.

Claire was cooking. She was healed from the night before.

Jody walked in, her broken leg also healed. "I thought I smelled burning bacon. You two cooked?"

"Uh, we tried," Claire answered. "The pancakes might be a little raw."

"We wanted to do something nice for you," Alex told her.

Jody looked at both of them, momentarily speechless. "Thank you."

Jody walked toward the table.

"I'm sorry he hurt you," Alex told them. "Both of you."

"Hey, we're fine," Jody told her. "Cas and Sabrina healed us. We're in three whole pieces, more or less. It's okay."

"It's not okay," Alex told them. "He almost killed you for what I did."

"For what those Vamps did," Claire corrected. "You were a kid. You had to do whatever they said."

"Alex, you were ready to give up your life for us," Jody told her. "That's goodness. And that's what's scary about family. Gives you so much to lose."

Jody put her arm around Alex.

Claire smiled a small smile.

            §   

Outside

Dean and Ness were packing in Ness' Car.

Amara was standing nearby.

Catty and Sabrina were packing in Catty's Mustang.

Catty looked at Sabrina.

Sabrina noticed. "What?" 

"I just keep thinking about something Cas told me the other night," Catty answered. "About you and Levi."

Sabrina sighed, shaking her head. "Mom--"

"No, it's not bad," Catty told her. She sighed, walking closer. "Of course I'm gonna worry about you, Sabrina. It's my job. And I might be a little overprotective after everything we've gone through together, but that's also my job. But that shouldn't stop you from having a life outside of the life, if you can even have that with an Angel, like Levi. At least Levi gives you a friend outside the family. And that's a good thing."

"It is?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah," Catty answered. "I'm not saying that I trust Levi, because I haven't even met him. But Cas trusts him. And it sounds like Ava trusts him too. So, I'll give Levi a chance." Sabrina smiled a small smile. Catty pointed at her teasingly. "But, if Levi hurts you in any way, I'm gonna kill him."

Sabrina smiled. "I wouldn't expect anything else."

Sabrina and Catty embraced, smiling, pulling away.

Dean and Ness were still packing up Ness' Car.

Dean was buckling Aiden into his car seat in the backseat. "There you go, Aiden. Ness, you really think that Aiden knew the Vamps were coming for you and Amara and Aiden?"

"Yeah, he started crying when we heard something outside," Ness answered. "And once the Vamps were dead, he was completely calm. Like he knew that we were safe."

"So Aiden's like an evil alarm?" Dean asked. "I mean, Aiden did the same thing when the Darkness, while possessing Amara, kidnapped us and Aiden."

"Yeah," Ness agreed. "I guess."

Amara had Ness' duffle bag, putting it into the open trunk. She seemed to remember something, curiously opening the floor of the trunk to see the arsenal underneath.

Dean and Ness noticed what she was doing from the side of the car, exchanging a look, walking closer.

Amara let the floor of the arsenal fall, turning away from the trunk.

Dean looked at Amara. "You really ganked the other Vamp?"

Amara shrugged. "He was gonna kill Mom. I had to."

"No, no, no, I'm not mad," Dean told her. "I'm not mad. It's bad, but I'm actually kinda proud." He looked between Ness and Amara. "Of both of you, actually. Ness killed a Vamp without losing control since she doesn't have the Mark anymore. And Amara killed her first monster to save Ness."

Amara bit her lip thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about?" Ness asked. "How did it feel?"

Amara sighed. "When I killed him, you mean?" Ness nodded. Amara thought about how to answer. "It felt good. But not because I killed him. Because I did it to save you. It felt better than I thought it would." Dean and Ness exchanged a look. Amara looked at them curiously. "You're not surprised that I've been thinking about this even before last night."

"Well, you're a Winchester, and a Singer," Dean told her. "It's in your blood."

Ness sighed. "Amara, I've never wanted this for a child, if I ever had one. I knew that if I did, I wouldn't want to let them get sucked in. Like you and like Aiden. But it's too late for you. You've already been sucked in. And we can't take what happened back."

"It's not your fault," Amara told them.

"We know," Dean told her. "Doesn't make it any easier. Look, we don't want this for Aiden. But we can't make this choice for you, because you didn't have us in your life for six months. Whatever you would want to do, we wouldn't be able to stop you."

"It's not our choice to make, Amara," Ness told her. "We know that we don't want you to get hurt anymore than you already have."

"But, the question is, 'What do you want, Amara?'" Dean asked.

Amara thought for a moment, considering the options seriously. "I wanna learn how to fight." She looked at Dean and Ness. "I'm not saying that I want to hunt. I just want to know how to defend myself. So nothing like that happens again."

Dean and Ness considered this seriously, taking a deep breath, looking from each other to Amara, nodding.

Claire and Castiel were walking out of the house.

"You don't have to worry," Claire told him. "I know what I have. You should have seen Jody take on that Vamp. She would have taken a bullet for me."

"Does that mean you're gonna make her life less difficult?" Castiel asked.

"I solemnly swear not to hunt like a dumbass," Claire told him. "Jody said that she's gonna teach me to vet leads and teach me how to investigate. She thinks I'm gonna get myself killed."

Sam and Jody walked out of the house.

Sam was holding food. "Guys, we got ribs and, uh, sauce."

Sabrina smiled. "Yes."

"Made them for dinner last night, but didn't get to eat it, what with the multiple kidnappings and all," Jody told them.

Amara looked toward Alex by the street, looking at the others. "One sec." They nodded. Amara walked toward Alex. Claire and Sabrina exchanged a look, following. "Alex, hey. Are you gonna be all right?"

"Yeah," Alex answered. "School on Monday."

"You're just gonna go take a bio quiz and pretend like you didn't almost get slaughtered?" Claire asked.

"You're not giving up hunting, are you?" Alex replied.

"Hell, no," Claire answered.

Amara smiled a small smile.

Sabrina smiled, letting it fade to seriousness. "Alex, other Vamps may come for you."

"I know," Alex told them. "And I'll be ready. And when I get my life together, I might be moving on."

"Alex, you don't have to leave to protect us," Claire told her.

"That's not why," Alex told them. "I can't be around what you all are doing. The things you're fighting."

Amara looked thoughtful.

Sam, Jody, Dean, Ness, Catty and Castiel walked toward the cars and where the girls were talking.

Sam looked at Jody. "Are you gonna be all right now that you're outnumbered again?"

"Ah, as long as everyone wears a condom, we'll be fine," Jody told them.

Dean chuckled. "I want that bumper sticker."

Ness looked at Sabrina and Amara down by Claire and Alex. "Sabrina, Amara, let's go."

"Let's go," Catty told them.

Sabrina and Amara walked closer.

The family waved goodbye to Claire, Jody and Alex.

Dean, Ness and Amara got into Ness' Car with Aiden.

Castiel, Catty, Sabrina and Sam got into Catty's Mustang.

Ness' Car and Catty's Mustang drove away, leaving.

Claire, Jody and Alex stood together in the driveway, waving, watching them go.
