[b]SAM WINCHESTER[/b]

Sam's thoughts and relief of having his brother back alive were completely interrupted when he felt his phone vibrating in his jeans pocket, making him peel away from Natalia ever so slightly to answer the call, instead of answering Dean's question. Looking at the number, he didn't recognise it at first, but answered it cautiously anyway, wiping his eyes to compose himself. "hello?" he answered.

"Sam?", Annabeth breathed, as relief washed over her.  She brought a shaky hand up to cover her eyes as a couple of tears of both relief and stress fell from her eyes, "Oh my god.  You're okay.  You're okay...um..."

Sam felt his whole entire core freeze up out of shock that Annabeth was still alive and okay, or as okay as one could be in her situation. "Anna?!" he replied in shock, stepping away from everyone in the room and taking the call in Bobby's hallway. "are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked in quick succession.

Anna smiled slightly at his asking if she was okay, considering everything that had happened, "Um...I don't know, honestly.  I'm with Alastair, and Sam...I need to talk to you, somewhere safe."

Her voice was shaky, as the demon blood in her system raged through her veins.

"it's okay, it's okay. You can talk to me, I'm away from the group. What's happening? Do you know whereabouts you are? Anything that can help us find you?" he asked her, honestly so relieved to hear her voice, but on edge that she was with Alistair. He knew this was not going to be good news for Dean, who had just come back to life.

She continued rubbing at her eyebrows, hearing the heartbeats of the demons Alastair had locked up for draining as she stood outside the warehouse, "I can...um...I can hear a train.  I don't think we are out of South Dakota, but you can't come here.  This place is loaded with demons, and if he finds out I'm even outside..."

She broke off and sobbed, gasping harshly, "He's going to kill you if he even finds out I'm gone."

Sam listened to her explanation of where she was convinced of her location and nodding, knowing the area well enough of where she could be. The idea of not being able to go after her killed him and it was one request he couldn't oblige. "hey... Hey hey.. Its okay, shh" he cooed softly to her as he heard her sob, just wanting to comfort her.

"we'll figure something out, but get back inside and stay safe. I will save you Anna, I swear to you. I'll save you" he told her.

She nodded her head, looking around the area to see if she could find a way away, as she took a deep breath at his shushing, "I um...if you come, there's a road under the railroad tracks that leads up to what looks like a building.  I will try to...I will try to get back there, and..."

She broke off with a sigh, "Please be careful.  Please, Sam..."

Sam nodded even though she couldn't see it, the description ringing a bell with him, "I know the place, stay safe. I will be, I promise. Just keep playing the long game for me, I'll get you out. Just hold on for me" he said to her.

She nodded in return, feeling relief in his voice that washed over her.  She dried the tears on her face, wiping a bit of blood from her mouth with them, "Goodbye, Sam."

"see you soon Anna" Sam replied, refusing to say goodbye as it felt too final to him and he was refusing to say anything so final just yet. He hung up the phone after, seeing a notepad and pen on the hallway dresser, grabbing the pen he scribbled down the location of where Anna was and snuck on out the front door.

[b]MIKA CHAMBERS AND NATALIA WINCHESTER[/b]

Mika couldn't believe that Dean was so confused as to why they were all so frantic and confused but relieved at seeing him very much alive. She was about to say why they were reacting the way they were when it dawned on him. She nodded at him, "you did. The female demon killed you with the crowbar I dropped when I got flung across the basement. You've been dead for an hour" she explained, wiping her eyes. 

She revelled in the fact he was hugging her tightly before he looked around the room to see who was still around and who wasn't. They all looked pretty rough around the edges but it was clear that Cason had the worst of the blast that saved all their asses, thanks to Esme. She still didn't understand why Esme could have done such an action, but boy was she was thankful she did, even if that on top of the big fight caused a lot of destruction to her home. 

She looked at Sam and Natalia as Dean asked about where Anna was, wondering how Sam was going to explain why Anna didn't come up from the basement with him but it seemed his phone was more important than answering the damn question. Instead the explanation was be given by Nat as she had quietly spoken to Sam about it when everyone was mourning Dean, fighting over what should be done with his body and Mika going completely apeshit holding them all at gun point. 

"An Angel got her Dean.... He took her to Alistair and we don't know where" Nat explained somberly. "Sam told me there was no other choice, it was let her go or he got killed in the bloodiest way possible" she added, "he chose to let her go in that moment as that was Anna's wish. She didn't give him a choice really. She didn't want us to lose both of you boys" she added. 

Whilst Natalia was filling Dean in on what happened whilst he was technically dead, Mika listened also, but not only that she was aware of Cason going outside to talk to Esme before bringing her sleeping form back inside after a few minutes and like Bobby, was watching with curiosity at how gentle he was being to the other woman. Yet unlike Bobby, she was secretly and selfishly hoping that if Cason continued being the main focus of Esme in one or another, she would keep away from Dean. Promise or not to try and be ncier to Esme, she couldn't just switch off her jealousy like a light switch.
