[b]NATALIA AND MIKA[/b]

Mika was thankful that Natalia was agreeing to some time away. She knew deep down that it was her best option but she wanted Nat to decide for herself so she didn't make the girl feel like she was being forced into a particular decision. She listened to everyone talk, even watched as Cason had turned Natalia round to make her look at them as they talked with each other. She absolutely hated it, but she was thankful for Cason's help right now. She was even more surprised that Dean was agreeing with Cason. 

"Then it's decided, we'll all take a rest day, or two and we'll reunite when we're ready to. Nat you know to call us if you need us okay?" she said, sliding her arm that was through Dean's, now round his waist, glad to be standing so close to him once more. 

Natalia nodded in agreement, instinctively grabbing Cason's arms whilst he had a grip on her. "I know, and I will, I promise" she replied to Mika before patting Cason's arms to signal letting go of her, then when she was free of his hold she went to her room to grab her belongings. Unlike Esme, she had her car and knew she could just go whenever she was ready. She also realised this would be the first time she'd let Cason in the front seat after swearing the night before there would be no way a demon would sit shotgun in her car....

[b]SAM[/b]

It took him most of the day by the time he said his goodbyes to everyone in the group, packed his stuff and got a seat booked on a plane, but he managed to get to California and head to the old stomping ground that Anna used to live with Max. He used the paper of instructions and directions from Cason to get there and by the time the evening came round, he was knocking on the door of Max's apartment. 

It had taken him in truth a few minutes to even gain the courage to knock, all kinds of paranoid worries swirling round in his head. What if he was too late and this Max guy had convinced Anna that a normal relationship with a normal life was the way she wanted to live? What if Max could give her a safer and calmer life than he could? What if she really was done with him? 

Shaking those thoughts out of his head, he managed to knock on the door and awaited for someone to answer, praying that Anna wouldn't kill him for going against her wishes and follow her to her location to bring her home. Yet he knew deep down he wouldn't be able to live without having at least answers for her leaving in the middle of the night.
