"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI

Lexi thought nothing of Dean looking around as they headed to the till points, but the moment they got there and he playfully pushed in front of her and slapped the cash on the counter to the cashier before she barely even got her fingers gripped round her wallet in her jeans pocket. "Dean!" she said in surprise, but an amused look was on her face. It was such a playful and innocent moment for her to witness that just made her feel so normal. "You damn well will let me buy you a beer next time!" she said determined to not let him back out of that statement.

She took the receipt from the cashier with a smile and thanks before jogging to catch up to Dean once again, so they could exit the store to get back to the impala and put the shopping in the car. When Dean pointed out that Sam hadn't text him once since they've been out, she even laughed when he described just how clingy Sam was normally. It even made her check her own phone in case she missed anything from Sam herself. "Likewise, I haven't had anything either" she replied.

"It's gotta be a library or compute somewhere no doubt. I swear that guy has some kind comic book super power when it comes to finding wifi" she chuckled, taking out the shopping from the cart and placing them into the trunk of the impala, once they got there and unlocked the car. "He's gotta be alright though, he knows to check in if he's in any kind of problem" she reassured him.

SAM

Sam wished he had better information for her, but even then he was certain that she wouldn't like what he'd say even if they did have the Colt still. That gun couldn't get in the hands of demons, no matter what and it's one reason he was glad it was well and truly gone for good. He watched her body language and all the facial expressions she was possibly giving to try and read her but he couldn't, so he just let her take the notepad back and write once more.

He waited for it to be passed back to him and when it was, he read it carefully once more. He saw the scribbled out word and just knew what it was she was now asking. He sighed, he didn't exactly ever approved of getting into the hunting world as there was quite literally no getting out of it. He knew that more than anyone after getting out for a short period throughout the years and it always brought him back.

"I'm not sure you really wanna get into this job lifestyle Anya. There's backing out once you're in and it's a lot more dangerous than you probably think it is. Even the most seasoned hunters d--" he sighed as he stopped himself from completing that sentence due to instantly thinking of Mika as an example.

"You'd be safer not in this world and not getting tied with demons. Myself and Dean... that's my brother and other colleague, we can try and help you in some way to get this deal broken to no danger to yourself, but at the moment, that's all I wanna offer you" he told her truthfully. He just didn't wanna see another decent innocent person die in the lifestyle he and others lived.

I am the fire - Constantine RP

The moment Trish started crying, Kay instantly felt out of her comfort zone. She walked over to the child and knelt down to her level before slowly enveloping the girl in her arms for a hug. "Hey..SHH...it's not your fault at all. It's what older siblings do okay? My sister Sam is only a few older than myself and we're not even biologically related but what I'm trying to get at is that even she stepped up the moment I was going through tough times and I lost my folks. If it wasn't for her, her folks would have never adopted me and I'd be without a home. Without a family. Josh did the same thing for you. His love for you is so much more important than anything else in the world and he's doing it all for you because he loves you, not to sacrifice anything else in his life." she explained, hoping she would understand.

Fia couldn't help but smirk at his comment about her dad. He wasn't wrong, even in their time John hoarded anything and everything, even information if it meant he could use it against his foes and have the upper hand. "you're not wrong there" she replied. "I've just never seen this book before that's all." she commented.

Josh paused still when she asked the question she did. It was a question he was in all honesty half expecting to be asked at some point. "If you want to be a thing with me. I'd love nothing more than to be your boyfriend." he told her with a soft smile.

NATALIA AND CASON (PART COLLAB)

Of all the people in their group, Cason being the one to tell her 'don't be too hard on Dean' was not the one she was expecting to hear those words from. Sam, Mika, Anna... even Esme she could picture any of them saying those words to her, but Cason? That was a new experience for her to say the least but feeling him shake from the withheld laughter felt comforting to her.

Nat also found it calming that he still stood by his words from last night and that he was determined to keep her safe and be there for her even though she hadn't done too much before last night to make him exactly like her. Or at least in her mind she hadn't. Not only that, he reassured her that she wasn't that much of a bitch to Dean and he would forgive her for what she said to him, and that her outburst was justified and valid, even if she thought it was uncalled for. She sighed in her hands until she felt him pull her hands away from her face and held him.

Cason's offer for her to get her apology to Dean out the way first was appreciated, but she didn't think she was ready to see Dean just yet. She needed to muster up that courage to look her eldest brother in the eye and truly apologise, not to mention, do so in fresh clothes and not the ones she fell asleep in. "I'd rather have our talk first. And judging by the faint talking I can hear, they're deep in conversation anyway out there" she replied honestly, after letting him remove her hands from her face and hold one hand. "Also if I put off our talk, I'm afraid I'll never have the courage to have it." She admitted.

Cason nodded, turning his head straight forward as he pondered the talk that they needed to have and how to even start the conversation. He knew it was likely better to rip off the bandaid. It wasn’t like he could make her situation much worse.

With a deep breath, he nodded, “Alright. So, where to begin…”

Cracking his neck, he glanced down at his own hands, and just bit the bullet, “I’ve known you…well…of you for a while. Like, a good while. One of my first assignments after my last little trip to Hell was to work undercover, I guess you could say, to drag information out of people.”

He took another deep breath, not even wanting to say the words, but with a wince, he blurted the words out, “As a nurse.”

The moment Cason turned his head to Infront of them both, she knew this talk had to be bigger than she ever realised last night. But there was no backing out of it now. So she did all she could do in this moment and listened to him. She listened as he said he knew of her for a long while and wondered how that was even possible. Wasn't he with Anna for years before this? She looked at him, even if he didn't look at her as he spoke, confused and curious as to where his words were going. Undercover? Dragging information out of people? It wasn't making an ounce of sense to her, that was until he said the last three words.

She froze in her spot on the bed, but unable to remove her hand from his grip, despite her blood running cold. "Y-you were at my...asylum?" She asked wearily. Her mind began racing a million miles a second as she tried to compute the true depth this talk was taking.
Cason cringed again as Nat’s brain finally computed what he was saying. He himself wanted to run away, which would be as simple as disappearing and leaving her on edge, but he honestly couldn’t do that. It was worth it to just get the information out, even if she hated him for it after.

“Y-yeah. I was there.”, he admitted, closing his eyes and shaking his head. Clenching his jaw, he continued, “But I never hurt you, like the others. I swear that to you. I came out of Hell, fully ready to just leave. Disappear. But I couldn’t leave without knowing that I did something to bring my own torturers down. That’s how it started.”

He shrugged his shoulders, letting her know that at first, his motives for helping her weren’t for her benefit. He squeezed her hand, “But then I guess I grew attached to you being…alive. I decided that if I was going to take them down, I was taking you with me. I made sure you had food, water, and that your wounds were somewhat clean. I changed your clothes, and left the doors open for your brothers to find you. Once you were gone, I killed them all…well, all the ones that were left.”
She continued to listen, even whilst seeing him visibly cringe as her memories started to piece things together as he spoke. Yet at the same time it made so many more questions. Why her? Out of every victim in that dreadful place, why her? Why was she so special to get solace in such a place? She glanced down at their hands as he squeezed her hand, then glanced right back up at him as he continued speaking. His words coursing through her mind like a cannon ball as it tore through those walls in her mind, unblocking those memories she couldn't remember or at least, were fogged over.

It was then she began to see everything play out in her head clear as day. His face leaning down over her to help her sip water when she could barely hold her own head up. Or loosening her restraints as they cut into her wrists, causing bleeding and bruising. The door...opening and staying open on that night of freedom. The words spoken.... "It's freedom night. Shout for them Natalia" before he was gone from view and minutes later Sam showed up as she crawled to the door begging for help. Every time it was Cason's face. "you helped save my life...you guided Sam to me..." She realised, tears pricking at her eyes, her hands shaking.

Cason debated running everything that he said back as the silence overtook them for a moment, until Nat spoke again, her voice soft and he could hear the tears behind her words. He nodded in admission to her, and shrugged his shoulders lightly, barely moving them.

“I wanted to send a message and I wanted you to survive.”, he stated plainly, letting out a deep sigh, before slowly glancing over at her face, “And now you’re here.”

Nat's memories wouldn't stop replaying through her mind but it was like her present and past were weaving between each other in her head. She didn't know at first what to do, or how to react but she looked at him , truly looked at him this time. A hand reached up to his face as she let those few foggy memories clear up completely and now it made sense to her. Why him sweeping hair from her face and holding her felt so familiar. Why his scent smelled familiar and comforting to her. "You're the one who gave me hope that whole time. The only reassuring memories I have of that place." she spoke softly and slowly before just engulfing him in a hug. It was the only thing she could think of doing. "You gave me hope, saved my life and gave me family. I'm sorry I didn't remember until now" she told him.

MIKA AND SAM

Whilst Natalia and Cason were having their heart to heart discussion in their room, both were still very much involved in their conversation outside with the others. Sam let Dean read the note just after Mika had walked over to the two of them, before seeing his brother give it to Mika to read, which she did. He honestly didn't know what to say initially but once they read the note Anna had left him, he finally found his voice. "I don't know where she could have gone. I mean, over the years she's been all over the place like we have. The list could be longer than we even realise it is" he replied to Dean, seeing the power of Anna signing the note with her full name hit Dean as hard as it hit himself.

"I can't believe I messed up this badly to have pushed her away. I thought she knew how much I love her" he replied, seeing the look of utter sympathy on Mika's face as Esme and Duke made their way across to the three of them. "Sam you didn't mess up. I can't believe these are her real thoughts on the matter. She was all about staying close to you last night, this feels so out of character for her" Mika told him, rubbing his arm comfortingly.

Mika shot Duke a look of disapproval when he offered the idea of a bounty hunter to find Anna, after Dean explained what they were all talking about. She didn't need to say how much she disapproved of that idea so quickly to make her opinion known on that matter. She then looked at Dean as he glanced at her, followed his gaze to Nat's room and back at the group and it seemed that Esme was cottoning on to what he was hinting at just as well as she herself was.

"I hate to say it, but Cason is our only hope right now to finding out where she's got to." Mika spoke up, "If that's what Sam wants that is" she added, giving her pseudo baby brother another soft glance.

Sam gave everyone's comments and thoughts a real thought over before sighing and nodding. "Cason is the key but I don't feel comfortable going to ask him for help. Not after everything. It's hard enough knowing he's in there with Nat and he was wanted more than me as well as this situation" he admitted to the group, feeling like he could be open with them all. "So can someone else do it?" he asked of them, looking them all in the eye one by one.

"I don't think it's a good idea myself or Dean go. I'd prefer staying with you Sam right now. So that leaves you two" she said, looking from Sam to Duke and Esme, even though she wasn't exactly impressed with the choice of 'attire' Esme was currently in.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI

When Dean reassured her that she wasn't as terrible at this whole expressing her thoughts and feelings as she was thinking she was, she felt a sense of validation. Feeling him link their fingers quickly made her glance down at their hands and then back up at him and smile.

She couldn't help but chuckle all over again when he called himself a mess, then changing it to they were both a mess. It made her laugh because she knew deep down that he wasn't wrong in the slightest. "you're not wrong there" she agreed with an amused smile on her lips as she continued to feel his thumb rubbing against her hand, before he lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Yeah you're probably right" she nodded, reluctantly letting go of his hands and going back to pushing the trolley down the aisle they were in and toward the till points.

The whole admitting she did really like him, despite them barely knowing each other gave her butterflies in her stomach. It made her feel like she did when she first saw Nate, which she could only imagine was a sign that she should follow what this feeling was and go with the flow. Maybe letting herself after a year, be involved with someone else wouldn't be too bad after all, she thought to herself.

As the two of them walked Mika's spirit stood off at a distance watching the two of them bring each other out their shells and smiled. He was finally learning to open up to someone and be the man she always loved. "I'm proud of you Dean" she spoke, confident that no one would see her, not even him, but she had to witness this for herself and still be there for him.

SAM

He was glad that Anya stopped grabbing for the notepad so he could have given more of a reason to why he wanted to know about her demon deal. He could see in her face that him admitting who he truly was was making her elated for whatever reason and if she was holding back her happiness at finding a Winchester then it must be pretty big of a deal for her to seek his help.

He let her take back the notepad to write down exactly what the deal was, sipping his coffee as he waited patiently for her to finish writing it all down. As she finished and pushed the pad back to him, he read it carefully, glanced very briefly to her then read what she put again. The demon was playing a little mermaid game card with this girl? That did not sit right with him in the slightest, and he was also glad that Dean wasn't around right now because if he knew what he was thinking, Dean wouldn't let him hear the end of it.

When he was done reading, he rose an eyebrow as if to question her what it was that her dad supposedly had a long time ago. It seemed that she understood his query from his look, as she pulled out another piece of paper and unfolded it before passing it over to her. What he saw on that paper shocked him as he didn't think he would see the Colt ever again, in any form.

"I hate to tell you Anya, but this gun hasn't been seen in a long time. We used it once but then got rid of it soon after." he told her truthfully. The memories of using that gun on that male phoenix just brought back horrific memories of how Mika died and he was now glad that it was him Anya found, and not Dean. He could easily imagine just how badly Dean would take this news.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

Before she fell asleep again, she wondered what Cason meant by that statement but she was just too tired to ask him. Instead she decided to do what he suggested and try and get some rest. "Don't be gone by the morning" she sleepily asked of him, her way of asking for him to stay in case another night terror hit her. Something she was incredibly scared of happening. She was always terrified of the night terror coming back when she fell back asleep from waking up due to one, but truth was she never did. The second attempt to sleep was always successful but that fear of having another night terror never went away. There was also a part of her right now that was scared of waking up alone in the morning and finding her solace and freedom to be the real dream.

----

When morning arrived, she was still initially in a deep sleep and if she had her own way, she would have gladly stayed asleep for a few more hours, yet it seemed Cason had other ideas and his ideas were incredibly valid. The feel of him gently tugging at her ear made her grumble and sleepily scrunch up her face. "that's because he's an ass..." she complained in reply as she slowly fluttered her eyes open, still partly wanting to protest at being awake. Looking across at him, she was honestly glad that he did indeed stay with her, even if her mind was seemingly to her, being her rational self again. Or at least, so it seemed for those few sleepy moments.

"Thank you...for not leaving me alone" she finally said, finding it unbelievable she was actually thanking him. With a yawn and stretch, she slowly forced herself to sit up a bit in the bed and that was when everything she said to Dean in spite finally hit her like a ton of bricks. "Oh man....I was a real bitch to Dean last night....wasn't I?" She said, then groaned and covered her face with her hands. Even if what she said was valid on any level, she always felt bad for talking to him like that. He took her in when he didn't want to all that time ago and that was how she repaid him last night? Spouting shit about his time in Hell? That was a low blow even for her. She was half expecting him to truly hate her and give her the silent treatment this morning when they came face to face with each other.

MIKA

Dean's thought process on why Nat told them all what truly happened was, dare she think, impressive. He had actually come to some pretty solid theories in her opinion and Mika most definitely agreed that Nat was more broken than they had ever thought before. His little quip about Sam did make her chuckle as he wasn't exactly wrong. She had seen many sides of the brothers growing up with them, and she knew it didn't matter what Nat said to Dean, they weren't going to abandon her. Abandoning her is what John did, and she was defiant in deciding that Nat could do anything to try and push them away but they would not do what John did. Nat was family and they did not leave family behind.

His thought process on what to do about the Cason situation made her nod in agreement. She could understand why he would want to tie Nat up and protect her from Cason, no matter what but she also was proud of him for acknowledging that he couldn't stop her from being around him either. She was an adult and no matter how much they hated it, they had to let Nat decide for herself if Cason was safe to be around. It made her all the more glad that she had gestured for him to come to bed and change that sad look on his face to a smirk.

------

When Dean's alarm blared through the room loudly, she woke up instantly but she refused to open her eyes just yet. So instead, she let him shake her a bit before smirking ever so slightly as she couldn't pretend to be fast asleep any more. Opening her eyes, she sighed and sat up in bed as he rolled over and got up. "alright, oh and grab extra has browns for Nat, a peace offering of sorts" she suggested, forcing herself to get out of bed so she didn't fall back asleep when he left.

With Dean exiting the room, she used this moment to grab a quick shower as her hair felt like straw from all the dirt that was flying into the air of the crypt they were all stuck in the night before. Stepping her bare feet across the floor and into the bathroom. The moment her feet touched the cold floor she winced, making her speed up as she skipped and hopped into the shower and got the hot water running quickly. Getting into the shower was like a sharp awakening as the steam and heat of the water hit her skin, making her sigh with relief as it cleaned her and woke her up more. as she scrubbed her hair with the water, she used one hand to stretch over to grab some shampoo she left the day before on the shelf nearby and got to work washing her hair, dirt and grime running out of it and down the sink hole.

"Oh yeah...I definitely needed that" she sighed happily once she was done and stepping out, grabbing a towel and drying herself off a bit before wrapping it round her body and going into the main room to her duffel where she could grab some clean clothes. Pulling out a black top that was her usual go to and some wet look jeggings, she got dressed after drying off more.

She hoped Dean wouldn't be too long getting the breakfast for everyone as she got herself ready and made herself feel a bit more human. Then her thoughts went back to Natalia and whether or not she should go check on her. "Girl you should give Nat space" she warned herself, but whether or not she listened was proving a case of it going either way.

SAM

Whilst he was pacing back and forth trying to figure out what to do, who to turn to for advice, he just about noticed Dean step outside. He figured Dean was taking it upon himself to do the breakfast run if Mika was nowhere to be seen and that got him pondering whether he should ask Mika for advice if she was alone in the room. As he was pondering his options, he was aware of Dean bantering with Duke, to which he only then noticed himself that Duke and Esme were in the back of Dukes truck and less than dignified in the process.

Shaking his head, he mentally was prepping himself to go see Mika for advice on what to do, so much so that he didn't even notice that Dean had spotted him and came over, that is, until Dean spoke to him. Hearing the words 'Where's Anna' felt like a punch to the gut and he could answer in one way- a shrug. "I don't know man. I woke up and she was gone, with just this note left by her. She did a runner during the night, with all her stuff and I have no idea where she's gone. Did I seriously screw up that badly with her that she felt like leaving was the only choice?" he explained and asked his brother.

"I don't know what to do Dean" he admitted, trying to not look defeated but it was proving difficult. At that point Mika stepped out of her and Dean's room and saw Dean talking with Sam. "So much for the breakfast run" she muttered under her breath to herself, as she sighed and walked over to the two. "what's going on?" she asked, looking between them before gazing down at Sam's hand and seeing a handwritten note.

"Oh....which of the girls left?" she asked. Sam turned and looked at her, "Anna" he simply replied.

I am the fire - Constantine RP

Kay was ready to agree with Trish and smile at the beginning part of her reply, when the last part of her sentence made her frown and pause what she was doing. She knew what it was like to feel like you had screwed up a family member's life, but hearing that kind of talk from such a young child just broke her heart. It didn't feel right to hear from someone so young. She turned to face Trish as she put down what she was holding and sighed, "Trish stop what you're doing for a moment" she asked her. "Kiddo, listen to me, you have not screwed up his life okay? Trust me, I know what it's like to feel like that about family but you're still so young and believe me when I say I can guarantee that Josh doesn't think you've screwed up his life in the slightest." she began to explain to her softly. "Josh loves you like no other and as your big brother he would literally do anything for you. He would not change that for anything or anyone, but he also hasn't sacrificed being happy for himself and I'm sure Serena makes him happy" she tried to reassure her.

Fia glanced at him and then back down at the book she was flicking through. "Oh I don't really know to be honest but there's some interesting stuff in here" she replied as she flicked through the pages that had lore on many mythical and magical demons and beings. She wanted to initially think 'monsters' and 'beasts' but then she realised she would have been thinking of her own bloodline as either one of those words. "It's interesting either way, didn't know dad had this kind of book to be honest" she commented without even looking up from the book.

Josh smiled and nodded, whilst not wanting to intrude or come across as a complete and utter creep as she undressed for the bath. "Sure, you can ask me anything. What is it?" he asked her,

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

Cason freezing in his spot at her scurrying into him wasn't much of a surprise to Natalia, but she wasn't letting it really compute in her mind properly. Yet the moment he reacted positively after a few moments and wrapped an arm round her, even kissing her head she began to slowly gather herself before she asked the question she did. She wasn't expecting him to answer her question as she was barely realised that she even said it out loud, that was until he went quieter than quiet and she felt him tense up. She wished she could take back the question but it was out in the air now, so she couldn't take it back no matter how much she wished for it.

Then came a predictable answer but not the answer she wanted to hear. 'I don't know'. She nuzzled her head into him and nodded lightly against him in her own way to accept his answer of 'i don't know how to answer that', but she hoped he would find a way to answer her at some point. She just wanted answers for why of all people back in their group, it was HIM that she wanted to be around, it was HIS calmness she craved and felt she knew so well. Not Sam's, not Dean's.... Cason's. The demon of the group when all she ever wanted in life was to kill every single demon that ever crossed her path, but here she was wanting nothing but the comfort from a demon. A demon that almost tore her family apart by sleeping with her pseudo sister-in-law (or how she always saw Mika at any rate). None of this made sense to her.

Little did she realise just yet that he did know the answer, at least partially because he was the comfort and empathy she received at the asylum. He was the one that doing subtle things that kept the hope alive in her for someone to come and rescue her. She just wished that whatever the chat was that he wanted to have with her, it was to do with her queries and her questions in her mind. She hoped that he'd find the courage to tell her and put those pieces back into her mind to complete the missing parts of her memory. It was the one thing she never fully told her brothers, still didn't even when they had gotten a lot of her secrets out of her. There were still, even to this day, parts of her memory from her time in the asylum that were foggy or just outright blank.

"I hope we find an answer" she mumbled to him, refusing to let go but did eventually show her face to him again.

MIKA

Back in their room, Mika chucked her jacket off and threw it onto the chair haphazardly before walking over to the bed, sitting on the edge and sighing deeply. "Man what.a.day" she spoke, brushing her hair back and behind her ears. She was exhausted, more so than she thought moments ago. The case had been a difficult one, a hectic one and then there was everything Natalia said to them after spilling everything thanks to Dean's over protective yelling at her. They truly were a mess of a group and family, but despite all of that she wouldn't take it any other way.

"I'm still trying to compute everything she finally told us, let alone everything else. If I get any decent sleep tonight I will be very surprised" she admitted, using her feet to kick and pull each of her boots off as she multi-tasked and removed her vest top. "I'm glad she told us at last though....no matter how hard it was to hear. No wonder she closes off at times or snaps. It suddenly makes so much sense now" she continued to say as she finished changing out of her hunting clothing and climbing under the duvet.

She just hoped that Dean would be able to relax a little, or at least enough to get some sleep himself. She was more concerned about him sleeping than she was herself. Once under the covers, she stretched her arms out toward him as a way to signal for him to follow her into bed, whilst also being her silent way of saying 'you need to come to bed and just try and let go of everything this night has thrown at us'. She knew he would know what she was implying, it wasn't the first time she had done this kind of movement toward him when things got tense. She also had a feeling that Natalia shouting at him the way she did, and what she said would still no doubt be playing on his mind.

"And Dean? She'll forgive you by the morning. She loves you dearly, no matter what she says in her heated moments" she reminded him.

SAM

Sam noticed how Anna seemed a bit distant from him and almost hesitant to take his hand which he found a bit unusual and out of character for her. Was he doing something wrong? Was he unknowingly pushing her away? He couldn't figure it out and he hoped the answer to his worries were 'no', but he just couldn't tell right now. Taking her hand, he went back to their room and got ready for bed, one part of him hoping Anna wasn't becoming distant from him again and another part of him keeping an ear close to the walls in case Nat started screaming or something in her room and he needed to run like a man on a mission.

By the time they fell asleep, he had fallen into a deep sleep. Lilith wasn't joking when she said it was harder to wake him in that moment with Anna. If it didn't feel too close to the nose, one could even say he was dead to the world, but in their lives and job that wasn't a saying that was particularly liked by him. The whole time he was completely oblivious to Lilith touching his hair, face and neck. Nothing in his brain was alerting him to a danger in the room and that he should wake up.

----

Moments after Anna left the hotel, hearing a door shut Sam stirred ever so slightly but he was still very much bleary eyed and more asleep than awake. He looked beside him and saw that Anna wasn't in bed but he assumed the door he heard had been the bathroom door closing and Anna just needed the bathroom for whatever reason and so he thought nothing of it and closed his eyes yet again before in seconds falling back asleep, right up until morning and his alarm went off at 7am.

Groaning awake, his eyes closed, he went to pull Anna closer to him for morning snuggles but he felt nothing beside him, making his eyes shoot open. "Anna?!" he called out just loud enough in case she was in the bathroom. But there was nothing, no reply, no sign of life anywhere in the motel room. Sitting up, he grabbed a t shirt and yanked it back on over his head whilst climbing out of the bed. He went into the bathroom first, opening the door but saw no one in there and so went back into the main part of the room again. Wondering where she went, he began to get worried before laying eyes on the note she had left for him.

Picking it up, he read everything she wrote, tears pricking the corners of his eyes. "I've done it again...." he muttered to himself. "I've lost her yet again because I'm a bloody dumbass" he complained at himself, angry that he could have been so stupid all over again. He couldn't imagine any other reason for her to leave and definitely couldn't blame her for it. It had to be his fault...didn't it? That's what he was thinking.

Getting dressed again, he shoved the letter in his jeans pocket and stepped out of the room, wondering who to go to first for advice. He didn't want bombard Nat with his love life problems when she was going through so much worse, but did he really want to go to Dean? Or Mika? Or even Esme and Duke? He found himself pacing in front of his room trying to decide which was best to do.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

All she wanted was to wake up and find none of what she feeling or seeing was real, but right now all Natalia was convinced of was that she was replaying her life in the asylum all over again. It felt so real to her, more real than the previous night terrors she had had at times when Sam had to break her from the terror's grip. in her slumber, she felt her body restrained to the bed, tied and left there, unknowing when the next round of torture would appear or if she would be given more kindness by the stranger who gave her water, showed empathy and sympathy. Even then most of the time that stranger didn't even feel real and felt like a mirage instead. It's why she never could see the stranger's face in her night terrors ever since she got out of there.

Eventually Cason's actions and words got through the barrier the night terrors had put up in her mind, making her jolt awake, slightly back instinctively thinking that she was, for a split second, with Sam and not Cason. "Dad!" she cried out, as if she was begging for him to save her. Breathing heavy, eyes full of fear as she tried to compute she was safe, darting side to side as she slowly took in who was laying beside her. It wasn't the familiar look of her brother, and it most definitely her father. Instead it was Cason, the one person no one expected her to ask to stay with her.

"C-Cason?" she questioned, forcing herself to focus on his face, looking at his eyes as she tried so hard to even out her breathing. "Cason" she said yet again to continue forcing herself back into reality. Then came the action that would even surprise her- she scrambled close to him and clung onto him. She needed that hold and grip of security, something every fibre of her being was telling her she had right there- with him. Despite her hatred of his kind, he was different and she wished she knew why. Not even the smell of him was putting things together in her mind, but she was slowly becoming aware that his smell did smell familiar. "Why do I feel safe with you?" she asked as she buried her face into him.

MIKA AND SAM

Neither Sam or Mika were particularly surprised by Duke's reactions to the news of what had transpired between them and Natalia. They both knew as well as Dean did that Duke liked Nat just as much as the rest of them and if she needed saving from anything and he was closest, he wouldn't hesitate to rush in and save her ass. There was just something about Natalia and being half Winchester that made them all willing to lay their lives for her, especially after everything she had already suffered. At least now, Duke was on the same level as the rest of them about what truly Nat went through. Sam was also glad that it wasn't just Dean and himself that wanted to rip Cason as far away from Nat as possible and was unnerved by the fact Nat wanted a demon of all people with her, and not one of her brothers.

Mika out of instinct placed her hand over Dean's when she felt his hand on her waist during the conversation that lead into the all too well known silent conversation between him and Duke. She let it all go on before they decided to actually talk between each other once more. The tightening of the grip round her waist told her so many things about what Dean was possibly thinking, but right now she wasn't going to ask him about it. She knew talking about Esme was a delicate subject when she was around, but she didn't want Dean to feel he couldn't mention her name in front of her either. So for once, she behaved herself an remained silent.

"Sounds like a good plan. Our room is closest to Nat's, so if either me or Anna hear anything we'll let you guys know. But Duke and Anna are both right, we all need a proper rest and sleep before deciding on what the next steps are to do with Nat." Sam chimed in. Mika nodded her agreement to Sam's addition, seeing clearly that they all had the same thought process. "See you all in the morning" Mika replied, patting Dean's hand on her waist as the signal to get to their room. She was well and truly done with this night, even if she didn't know if she would sleep after Natalia's confession.

"Come on babe" she said to Dean, sliding her fingers in between his own and guiding toward their room, with Sam saying goodnight to everyone and nodding toward his and Anna's room at Anna. "Lets get some sleep" he suggested to her, holding his own hand out to her.

LEXI

Seeing Dean's reaction to her comeback made her internally glad that he took her joke well. She had been so used to Nate knowing her sense of humour and knowing exactly when she was joking and when she was being serious, that she had almost forgotten Dean may not know her tells at the moment. Even Sam was learning to tell the difference with her humour after this time, but Dean was still new to it. The fact he feigned heartache just made her chuckle and feel more relieved that he was understanding her, even at this early stage of them finding each other and learning about each other.

Then came a question that threw her off guard for a moment. She was not expecting him to bring up the 'us' topic so soon and in this particular moment in time. Though she had to admit to herself she wasn't even sure if he was fully trying to ask that. She remained silent momentarily as he then began rambling and making things sound so much more confusing than he was probably intending it to sound. Was he asking her if they wanted to be an item or a hunting duo? Or was he asking if they were gonna be friends with benefits? She wasn't entirely sure, but whatever it was he was trying to get at, he clearly thought it important enough to get this flustered over.

"I uhh..." she began to reply only to come to the conclusion that she really didn't have any words computed in her head to put together into a understandable sentence. "I guess... I'm trying to figure this all out and how to reply, so bare with me" she said, showing him that she wanted to reply but she didn't want to mess this up either. There was no denying that she found him incredibly attractive and if she remotely had a shot with him, she would take it. Nate would want her to have someone again, she knew that deep down. But was that really what he was trying to say? Or was she just hoping for some good for herself that wasn't even there.

She paused walking and stood in front him, looking up at his green eyes, seeing the defeated look on his face. "I don't know how to fully understand what you're getting at but I want to know. I don't want to go anywhere and I definitely like you. A lot. To be honest I think...no, I know...I like you significantly more in a different way to how I like Sam." she awkwardly rambled her reply. "Shit, this is going terribly..." she scoffed a snigger, running her hand through her hair, tucking a bit behind her ear.

"I'm so out of touch with this.But if I think what you're asking is indeed what you're asking then....I wanna see where things take us...together." she finally managed to get out of her mouth with a soft smile, one hand slowly grabbing for his.

SAM

Sam watched her get clearly taken aback by him trying to work out what words to say next to her question and didn't realise his reaction would so surprising. Clearly he was wrong, but watching her take back the notepad yet again and write her response to his eventual reply, he wondered what her take from his words was going to be. She seemed to be writing a lot more than before and he hoped he hadn't said anything that would frighten her off or make her suspicious of his own wording. She was cute and he got the feeling from her that she was a super interesting person to be around. All he could do now was wait until she was done writing and was ready to show him her response and explanation.

When he saw the notepad, he took it into his hands to read it slowly and thoroughly so he didn't accidentally take what she was getting at badly. The words 'a deal I was offered' piqued his interest greatly but it also concerned him as usually deals meant demons. The end sentence did make him smirk and chuckle at the same time. Not only that it was close to making him blush and feel a little awkward at himself. He was used to girls flirting with Dean, very rarely did he get the flirting done onto him. "You're in the right place" he began saying to her, the smile not leaving his lips fully just yet.

In fact, it only left his lips as he forced himself to go back to the question plaguing his mind. The deal. "What deal was you offered?" he asked her quietly. "Truth is... I'm a Winchester. Your contact was getting you to find me and my brother" he admitted to her. "And I'd like to try and help you" he finished his reply, handing her back the notepad.

(wolvena/furiephoenix) Daughter's of Darkness (Supernatural rp)

Harper was convinced she was going to be choked to death by this spirit- Catherine that this other huntress mentioned before she got ambushed, her vision was beginning to blur, she could almost feel the oxygen leave her brain and she knew any moment now she would no doubt pass out and probably never wake up. She barely saw the moment when Arabella manifested an iron staff out of seemingly nowhere, at least from Harper's angle and position it seemed to be out of nowhere. Continuing her grasping and scrambling at trying to get free, she suddenly began to give up when all air came rushing back to her lungs and oxygen came rushing back to her brain. It was then that she noticed it was the young boy spirit who helped her out and got rid of this Catherine. Listening to the kid tell her to get moving if she was serious about helping them, she nodded and clambering up onto her feet. A wave of adrenaline hitting her all over, swiping her handgun off the floor in a clean swoop as she turned to face the stairs and rushed upstairs.

"Follow or stay down here to hold the fort, I don't care! Just be useful!" She called back toward Arabella, kicking the basement door back open with her combat boot clad foot and rushed into the main hallway. There was no time to waste and she knew if she didn't get the job done, she wouldn't just risk her own life, but she would risk the other blonde downstairs as well. She refused to see another hunter go down on a hunt gone bad, too many have been lost over the years and she was not going to be somewhat responsible for another. "display cases, display cases" she muttered to herself as she ran through and found the room that had the cases inside. Right as Arabella said, she saw the items and the plaques stating which was which, so at least this part was easy for her. The difficult part? Finding something to smash the cases open as she left her bag by the front door as the noise from the basement had earlier made her drop her bag and focus on just having her handgun.

Darting her eyes around, she landed her eyes on an emergency hammer to break glass with and rushed over, parkouring herself over another display case to get to the wall quicker. She grabbed the mini hammer off the wall and went back to the first display case nearest to her that she needed. "Harper smash I guess!" she said to herself as she forcefully swung the hammer up and then back down, right onto the glass, smashing it easily enough. With her spare hand, she rummaged into her jacket pocket to pull out her trust zippo lighter, flicking the top open and with some quick but thorough movements, she lit it up and lowered it to the first item, a pendant, she needed to burn. It was then she realised she forgot the salt and cursed to herself. "Dammit it!" she complained, running back to where she left her duffel bag and running back to the displays. Slamming her bag down on an adjacent display case she hadn't smashed open, she unzipped it and grabbed for her salt box. Popping the resealable lid off it, she scattered the salt into the flames hoping that it would be enough. "One hopefully down and now some more to go" she sighed to herself. "Just hold out a little longer down there" she muttered, hoping the other hunter was still very much alive and fighting.

Running to the second display case she needed, she saw two old cotton dolls that were clearly homemade for the children that still haunted the place. This time she did it the correct way and smashed the case, covered the dolls in salt and then set them on fire. "rest easy now kids" she commented. She may hate children but that didn't mean she wished the kind of existence that they were having as spirits. No person deserved to be stuck in this world and to go crazy in her mind. If you died, you stayed dead and moved on. Unfinished business to remain on this earth just didn't help anyone. It just gave people like herself a job to do that no one else knew how to do. Snapping out of her thoughts, she went to the last case she needed and smashed it open, but just as she was about to salt the items, she felt a force throw her sideways. "son of a bitch!" she cursed with gritted teeth, scrambling back up onto her feet. Standing in front of her was the male Rayden. "just give it up already mate. Staying here is doing no one any good." she told him.

"I'll do what I want in a place that was mine!" he barked, making Harper roll her head side to side, bones in her shoulders cracking in the process. "you know I'm really tired of you lot refusing to move on. You think I enjoy this job!?" she said back at him, unamused and fed up with the whole night. "All you hunters do!" he snapped back at her. "Alright, thats it. I've had it" Harper grunted, pulling out her handgun with salt rounds and in a swift action, raised it, aimed and pulled the trigger to give her the opening she so desperately needed. With Rayden gone, she run back to the last case and poured her salt all over the items. An old bible, sash and glasses. She wasn't taking any chances. Lighting her zippo once more, she chucked it into the case, watching all the flames envelope the items and burn brightly.
