The door in the living room went open and Kelsey entered the house. She had wished her parents were gone to bed, but even her 13 year old sister was still awake.
“You’re home early” Amber noted, looking at the clock. “It’s not even midnight yet”
“What’s on your head?” Gabe pointed at Kelsey’s head. Kelsey, who had forgotten there was blood on it, tried to wipe her head. “Oww” she groaned.
“What is it?” Gabe repeated. Kelsey shot a glance at her sister and Rachel understood what she was trying to say. “Amber, go to your room. It’s bedtime”
It was as if Rachel had ordered her to chop her feet. “What? No! I want to stay up. I want to hear what’s going on” Amber protested.
“It’s none of your business” Kelsey said snarky.
“Amber, please go to your room” Rachel said.
“No!” Amber yelled. Gabe grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs. They heard Amber crying; they knew how violent their father could get. He came back downstairs soon enough.
“Now what happened?” he asked in a tone that required a straight answer.
“Car accident” Kelsey answered quickly. “I didn’t see the red light”
“Any other victims?” Gabe asked and Kelsey noticed how his angry voice now had an undertone of fear. She didn’t answer, but the tears in her eyes spoke louder than words. “Oh God” Gabe said. He lifted his hand and hit his oldest daughter. Kelsey gasped and touched her cheek, looking shocked at her father. “Didn’t I tell you to be careful? Didn’t I tell you to stay out of trouble?” he asked, grabbing and shaking her. “Dad, please, don’t” Kelsey cried. “Gabe, let go of her” Rachel demanded and Gabe let go. “Pack your bags” “What?” Kelsey said confused. “Pack your bags” Gabe repeated. “You’re leaving” “What?” Kelsey exclaimed. “Gabe, come on, don’t be ridiculous” Rachel tried to bring reason to her husband.
“You can’t do this” Kelsey said upset.
“Watch me” Gabe said. He grabbed Kelsey the way he’d done with Amber, but Kelsey jerked her arm. “I can walk myself” she snapped and she ran upstairs, passing Amber who had clearly eavesdropped their fight. Amber got up as Kelsey walked into her room. “You hit someone?” she asked, eager for details, but Kelsey slammed the door in her face. “Oh come on, I always have to tell you everything” Amber complained. The door went back open and Kelsey came outside with her suitcase. She walked passed Amber and ran downstairs. She grabbed her coat and opened the front door.
“Kelsey, please stay here” Rachel begged. Kelsey turned around. “I thought you’d support me, but you two are a pathetic excuse for parents”
That being said she walked outside and walked away.

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.

Meg looked around the police station. So that was why no one was answering her calls for help. They were all dead. There were bodies everywhere and their insides were torn out. The floor was covered in blood.
“Meg”
Meg looked up. Daphne had entered the building. She stared shocked at the bodies.
“You killed all those people” she said trembling. It wasn’t a question, but an observation. “You’re going to hurt more people. I can’t let you do that”
“You can’t handle me. I’m too strong for your” Meg said. She walked towards Daphne and passed her. If she was going to try something Meg could easily take her down.
However, as she passed by, Daphne jumped forward and stabbed Meg in her neck with a syringe, containing a red substance.
“Aaaahhh!” Meg gasped and she touched her neck. “What the hell are you doing?”
But Daphne had left the building and ran for her life.
