Jo parked the car in front of a cheap looking motel. The lights flickered, the windows were no longer see through and above the entrance there was a damaged board that once spelled the word ‘WELCOME’, but due to age and neglect only the first three letters were still readable.
“This is the best I could find” Jo said. She had find it a better idea if she had been the one taking Meg away. Dean and Meg in the same space was never a good idea, even if he did save her life.
“It’s good enough for me” Meg commented. She loosened her seatbelt and wanted to step out.
“Hang on” Jo said and she searched her purse. She pulled out some money and gave it to Meg. “Just for starters”
“Thanks” Meg said not very enthused.
“You have to get a job” Jo continued. “You have to get your own money”
“How? I can’t do anything. It’s not like I went to school” Meg said sarcastic.
“I’m sure there’s something you’re good at. Something you don’t need to be a demon for” Jo replied. Meg raised her eyebrows. “I highly doubt it” she mumbled. “Could you do me one little favor? Don’t tell Cas where I am. I don’t want him to come looking for me”
“Is it really such a bad thing for you to be human? Don’t you think they might look at you differently now?” Jo propounded.
“No” Meg shook her head. “Dean and Sam will always see me as the demon that killed you and your mom. And the demon that got Bobby Singer in a wheelchair. They will never see me as a human being…Thanks for the ride and the clothes”
She took the bag of clothes Jo had bought her and opened the door. She stepped out and walked to the motel. She didn’t bother turning around to wave Jo goodbye.

Since there was no way any of them was going to get any sleep, they packed their bags and loaded the Impala. Dean placed himself behind the wheel, Sam sat next to him and Meg on the backseat.
“First stop: Pontiac, Illinois” Dean said, as he started the engines and drove ahead. As they drove Dean turned on the radio to break the silence.
Meg stared out of the window. She felt utterly powerless. Had she still been a demon she would’ve just zapped herself to him. But then maybe she wouldn’t have felt this way and she wouldn’t even bother to go find him.
Maybe this was a sign. Maybe she was supposed to let go and go back to her old life.
No!, she reproached herself. You’re not going back to killing for fun. You didn’t get this far to throw it all away. You’re going to find Cas and get him back.
“Everything okay, there?” Dean asked.
“Yeah, I’m good” Meg replied with a mischievous smile.
