Meg stood behind a wall, lurking at Cas and Alexia through her field-glass. They were sitting on a terrace eating waffles and drinking milk-shake. Cas looked as if he was drinking heaven itself.
Meg wanted to go to him and explain why she had to run, but she couldn’t without telling him who he was. And she knew she was being watched. She had escaped Crowley’s demons, but it would only be a matter of time before they caught up with her. And if they did she had no chance of defending herself. She had been so stupid to leave the Angel knife at home.
As she was staring through the field-glass a white flash blinded her eyes. “Aahh” she growled as she looked away. She looked at Cas’s table. A few yards ahead, in an alley, Meg could see the glimpse of a young girl. The girl quickly walked away and Meg raced after her. However, when she was at the alley Cas blocked her.
She froze.
“Meg?” Cas said difficult. Alexia was holding his hand.
Meg swallowed and her heart beat painfully in her chest.
Cas recovered himself and took a few deep breaths. “What are you doing here?”
“Emmanuel, I know you’re upset with me, but I can explain” Meg started.
“You promised we would leave together” Cas said mad. “I trusted you”
“I know” Meg said. “And I meant what I said. I really wanted to leave with you. But something came up”
“Like what?” Cas asked uncaring.
“There are people looking for you” Meg started, looking around agitated. “They know we’re friends. They’ve been in my house and threatened me. They wanted me to lure you out, but I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want you to get hurt. They took me with them, but I escaped”
Cas frowned. “So, you were trying to protect me?” he asked soft.
“Yes, I was” Meg confirmed.
“Well, we can go now” Cas said.
“No, we can’t” Meg said sad. “They know we’re friends. If they find me, they’ll think you’re with me. And so I have to stay as far away from you as possible” She took a deep breath. “I just came here to tell you that you’re being watched and it’s not the same dudes I’m talking about. It’s a girl”
Meg walked away and Cas watched her leave. Alexia pulled his sleeve. He looked down. “Uncle Emmanuel, I don’t think you can trust that lady”

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…

Anna materialized in the ICU. The doctors had brought Cas here. There was nothing they could do as long as they didn’t have the donors they needed.
Anna, holding a pair of kidneys in her left hand and a liver in her right hand, quickly walked to the bed. She removed the sheets with her mind and cut open Cas’ belly. While blood streamed alongside Cas’ unconscious body and on the matrass, Anna put the organs in their rightful place.
The monitor started beeping and Anna vanished, when a team of doctor’s came rushing into the intensive care.
“I need to talk to security” the doctor said, when he’d fixed up Cas’ properly. “Someone was here. Someone attempted to kill this man”
“Someone who gave him the organs he needed?” his assistant frowned. “Why would anyone do that?”
“I don’t know” the doctor said. “But I want someone to keep an eye on him, as long as he’s here”
