[b]MIKA, NATALIA AND SAM[/b]

Nat, Mika and Sam all saw how Dean was hating what they were all saying as a counter point to his ideas. The glare he shot Mika however in particular was what really showed them just how angry he was. It was clear to them all that he thought they were siding with Cason but that was far from the truth. It just so happened that Cason was thinking logically and for once, Dean was not. The glare didn't bother Mika despite this, in fact, she was used to getting this attitude from him to the point it rarely got to her or upset her. All she did do was just look at him with her flat expression back to show no glare was going to change her opinion. She knew he knew she was right and she wasn't going to back down. 

Mika also knew that Dean would come to accept the truth soon enough as well. It just took him a bit longer sometimes when he got like this. He was more emotional than he would ever admit and she knew it. What did surprise her however, was Natalia agreeing with her and speaking her mind, echoing her opinion. It caused Mika to very briefly, blink and you miss it, rise an eyebrow in curiosity. [i]"Is she becoming more like me and taking influence from me or is Cason ironically being a good influence on her?"[/i] she thought to herself, now slightly aware of how she should conduct herself around Natalia. If Natalia was taking on board her attitude and mindset then she needed to be careful. 

With them seeming to get through to Dean, their shoulders started to relax as Dean conceded to the option of going in smart and not stupid. Sam particularly sighed a breath of relief as the last thing he wanted to lose more people in his lifetime if they could help it. It was hard enough knowing that even though he didn't want to lose more people, it was going to happen at some point, he just didn't want it to be anyone in this group.  Especially Anna. He didn't just spend all his time travelling around to bring her back just to lose her again. 

His thoughts were broken when he heard Anna say she was willing to go on her own and just hand herself over. His eyes went wide and he was about to say something to her outlandish idea when Cason beat him to it. "I'm in agreement with him. Anna you can't just hand yourself over. You're not some monster or piece of meat we hand to the demons on a plate. You're a person, a kind person at that and I for one am not prepared to just lose you like that." he explained, practically in a begging tone, even though he tried hard to not let his begging come across as begging. Looking around, he saw Natalia and Mika nodding in agreement at his statement. 

He had to let his opinion know on the idea, even if it was only briefly before Anna and Cason seemed to take a glance at each other which got him worried about why they were making glances at each other. He recognised it all too well. It was the same glances he would shoot at Ruby and vice versa if he needed a hit of demon blood or needed to secretly meet up to get said blood, especially when Dean was in Hell and she swore to him that it was the only way to bring his brother back to Earth. It made him anxious as hoped the others in the room wouldn't be wondering if she was feeding off Cason. 

He wanted to try and get back on track with the ideas on how to go about tonight's hunt or scouting mission, but Esme also spoke up about how they weren't going to let Anna go alone. Mika and Natalia found themselves nodding at Esme's words just as they did with Sam's. Mika even surprised herself that she agreed with Esme again, making her want to internally shudder at the very thought. "Okay, so we're agreed. We all go and we go in smart. Scout from a safe distance initially and then work out the gameplan together. No one goes rambo and alone." Mika concluded with the group once and for all. Tonight was the night they began the end of this damn doom ridden hunt. 

-----AN HOUR LATER-----

The was night had fully engulfed the skies above the group of hunters, darkness enveloping them in the middle of seemingly nowhere, except for small lights shining in front of them showing them their destination: the barn. Seeing it in person, in front of them, Mika, Natalia and Sam all felt the overwhelming gut feeling of dread even more. The whole vibe of the area screamed 'it's surrounded by demons' and it just unnerved them all to their core. 

Nat hated it the most, the last time she was surrounded by this many was at the asylum but she swallowed her worries to try and stay focused. Now wasn't the time to have a PTSD breakdown. [i]"I can do this"[/i] she thought to herself, hyping herself up so she wouldn't just bail on the group...on her family. She felt she still had to prove herself to Dean, that she was capable even though she had plenty of times before he got taken from them all. Glancing to her left, she saw Mika pull a pair of binoculars from her duffel and place them infront of her eyes where she scouted the area. "Oh it's surrounded alright, I can see 4 round the front pacing, 4 in the back and...1,2,3,4,5....6 walking around inside just in the open doorway" she explained, lowering her binoculars once more and putting them back in her bag. 

"Something feels off about this and not just the demons" Sam spoke quietly, he couldn't put his finger on it but something really felt wrong and more powerful than the demons in the area. Almost like something else was also scouting the area waiting to pounce on them all. He just couldn't figure out what that exactly was. Yet the feeling almost felt familiar in some ways. 

"Okay, I agree there's definitely another ominous feeling here but I can't see or think why but we gotta stay on track. With how many there are I say one team goes round to the front and one team focuses on the back. We attempt to take out as many as quietly as possible before entering. What does everyone think?" Mika suggested whilst also agreeing with Sam. 

Something was very...VERY wrong about this situation.
