Bonnie opened her eyes and the candles expired. She stood and walked out of the square.
“I let him know” she said.
“Guys, I think you should see this” Keith said. Bonnie and Matt turned around to him. He was leaning against the table with a bunch of letters in his hands.
“What do you have?” Matt asked as they both walked to him.
“I found these in Jeremy’s pocket. I was looking for his phone, when these fell out. They’re from Kelsey to Veronica”
He gave a few to Bonnie and a few to Matt and he started reading the first of his own.
“Dear Ronnie,
I’m sorry I had to leave so suddenly. Something awful happened to me last night and I can’t make it undone. And I can’t come back. My parents have been keeping secrets from me, about who I really am. It turns out the woman who raised me isn’t my real mother. I’m going to find her and get some answers.
I’m worried about Amber. I don’t think she understands what went down the night my parents threw me out of the house. Will you look after her? Will you tell her that I love her? I didn’t get to say goodbye. I’m sorry I didn’t say goodbye to you either, but I know it would’ve been too painful. I’ll try to write as much as possible, but there’s no use in writing me back. I don’t have a current address.
I love you and I miss you,
Kelsey”
Keith looked up to see Matt and Bonnie’s reactions.
“Here’s another” Matt commented.
“Dear Ronnie,
I met my mother. She is everything I could’ve hoped for. She’s kind, beautiful and just like me. Of course she was a little taken aback when I showed up at her doorstep, but she didn’t blow me off. She gave me the answers I needed and she offered to stay with her. But I promised Keith I’d stay with him for a while.
Right now I’m traveling with some friends. I wish you could come, but that’s impossible. I don’t think you would like my new friends.
God, I miss hearing your voice, seeing your face. I miss your hands in mine. I just really miss you. When the nights get too painful, I think about you and it gets better. No matter how far away you are, you always get me through. I know I’m being unfair to you. I should stop writing, because I know that with every letter I send to you, I give you new hope. But I can’t stop myself.
Maybe one day, when my parents have accepted the real me, I can come home. But right now I’m afraid that when I put one toe into Mystic Falls they’ll come after me with a pitchfork.
I love you and I miss you,
Kelsey”
“Oh my God” Bonnie said as realization hit her in the face. “Kelsey wasn’t Veronica’s best friend. She was her girlfriend”
“I let him know” she said.

“If I have to die, so will you” Zoey said.
“No one has to die, moron!” Dean yelled angry. “Put the fire out, open the door, do something!”
Zoey shook her head. “I can’t. Crowley will kill me, if I let you go”
“He’ll kill you either way” Dean snapped.
“Well, if Cas doesn’t love me I don’t care” Zoey exclaimed crying.
They heard a noise and looked aside. Cas opened his eyes and frowned.
“Dean?” he said hoarse.
“I’m here” Dean said, quickly walking to Cas. He helped Cas sit up and supported his back. He looked from Cas’ injuries to Zoey. “If you really love him, you’ll let him go”
Zoey shook her head.
Cas put his fingers in his blood and painted a sigil on the floor. He poked Dean and nodded weak at the bloody sign.
“What is it?” Zoey wanted to know.
But Dean put his hand on the sigil and he and Cas vanished in a blinding light.
“No one has to die, moron!” Dean yelled angry. “Put the fire out, open the door, do something!”

But Dean put his hand on the sigil and he and Cas vanished in a blinding light.
Cas beached on the street, far away from Rufus’ cabin. He wasn’t sure how to feel. He was angry, because Dean wouldn’t listen to him. Dean always thought he knew everything better. He was disappointed, because Dean had no faith in him at all.
He was so up in thought that he didn’t hear his name. But maybe that was because she didn’t use his real name.
“Emmanuel!”
Someone grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around. He looked at the woman. She looked familiar.
“Didn’t you hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he said breathless. “How did you find me? What are you doing here?”
“Well, I hired a detective, I needed to find you” Daphne said. She searched in her pockets and conjured a big brown envelope. “I need you to sign these”
“What is it?” Cas frowned.
“A petition for annulment” Daphne answered.
