"Dean made a deal with the crossroads demon to bring you back… and you know what it cost him? Little Dean over there has 1 year to live" Kaylee spat viciously.

"Kaylee!" Dean snapped but Kaylee spun around to face him.

'What? You thought I was going to keep that a secret? why? because we are family? Oh please, you boys don't think of me as family and you know, deep down you never did. I mean, let's look at our track record, shall we? I drop everything to help you boys find your father; who hates me by the way. And then, I help you track down and kill the demon that killed your mother, your girlfriend and your father. Now, let's see what have you have done for me? Oh, that's right! You killed the only leads I ever had on the vampire that killed my family and the demon who kidnapped and experimented on me!" Kaylee mocked angrily circling Dean and Sam as they looked at her shocked and confused.

"Kaylee…" Dean tried to say but Kaylee silenced him.

"I'm not finished yet. But I forgave you, like I always did because I did consider you family… and along the way little old me was forced to reveal what I truly am to you and how do you react? Oh, that's right! You called me a monster. You told me I'm no better than the creatures that we hunt and kill for a living. But once again I come crawling back when Sammy tells me you are dying. And why? Because I fucking loved you! and I believed you every time you said you loved me. Every time you said you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me even though every damn chance you got you made me feel like a monster. AND THEN you go and make a deal with the damn crossroads demon so that you only have one year left to live! AND THE WORST PART IS YOU DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW IT WAS GOING TO AFFECT ME!" Kaylee shouted at Dean making Sam and him blink away some tears.

"Kaylee…" Sam started to say but Kaylee walked over to Sam laughing hollowly.

"Oh Sammy, poor little Sammy. You were almost as bad as Dean. Dean may have made me believe he loved me when he clearly only saw me as a monster but you... you made me believe you accepted me. You made me believe that because we were both freaks with demon blood running through our veins that I finally had someone who understood. But it was all a lie, wasn't it? What did you say when we were hunting Max? You claimed that a human who was murdering people deserved to live more than a monster. Well you know what? I'm done, you can both go rot in hell with parents for all I care. I mean, Dean is going to be there in a year anyway" Kaylee mocked before grabbing her bags from the Impala and disappearing into the forest leaving two very stunned, confused and crying Winchester brothers.

Kaylee ran as far away as fast as she could, tears in her eyes as she stopped on top of a cliff and looked out at the trees below her. She pulled out her phone and called the last number in her call log.

"It's done" Kaylee said emotionlessly.

…..

1 year and 4 months later…

Bobby and recently resurrected Dean Winchester were driving along after yet another strange attack on Dean that resulted in every window and glass object in the hotel room shattering from a high pitch sound and the shaking of the building. Bobby had pulled him out before any real harm could happen to Dean and after a week of trying to discover what had pulled Dean out of hell, they were coming up empty. They had even tried a psychic named Pamela who ended up blinded after an encounter with the creature.

"How you doing, kid?" Bobby asked from the driver's seat worried about the man sitting next to him in his car. "Aside from the church bells ringing in my head... peachy" Dean said sarcastically before pulling out his phone and calling Sam. "What are you doing?" Dean asked curiously. "Couldn't sleep. Went to get a burger" Sam lied smoothly. "In my car?" Dean asked annoyed. "Force of habit, sorry" Sam said referring to the fact that after Dean was killed and sent to hell, Sam adopted the Impala. "What are you doing up?" Sam asked quickly before Dean could say anything about the Impala. "Well, uh, Bobby's back. We're going to grab a beer" Dean lied looking over at Bobby who was staring at him in shock. "All right. Well, uh, spill some for me, huh?" Sam said and Dean motioned for Bobby to be silent. "Done. Yeah, I'll catch you later" Dean said hanging up.

"Why the hell didn't you tell him?" Bobby asked confused. "Because he'd just try to stop us" Dean said firmly. "From what?" Bobby demanded. "Summoning this thing. It's time we face it head on" Dean said annoyed. "You can't be serious" Bobby scoffed in disbelief. "As a heart attack. It's high noon, baby" Dean said sick of not knowing what brought him back. "We don't know what it is. It could be a demon. It could be anything" Bobby argued trying to make him see reason. "That's why we got to be ready for anything. We got the big-time magic knife. You got an arsenal in the trunk" Dean said pulling out the demon killing knife that they had gotten from the demon; Ruby last year. "This is a bad idea" Bobby muttered. "I couldn't agree more, but what other choice do we have?" Dean asked seriously.

"We could choose life" Bobby replied sarcastically. "Bobby, whatever this is, whatever it wants, it's after me. That much we know, right? Well, I got no place to hide. I can either get caught with my pants down again, or we can make our stand" Dean explained simply. "Dean, we could use Sam for this" Bobby added worried but Dean shook his head. "Nah, he's better off where he is" Dean replied not wanting to put his brother in danger as they pulled up at an abandoned barn, painting it with every symbol and trap that they can think of.

"That's a hell of an art project you got going there" Dean commented walking over to the table with Bobby's weapons placed on them. "Traps and talismans from every faith on the globe. How are you doing?" Bobby asked. "Stakes, iron, silver, salt, a knife... We're pretty much set to catch and kill anything I've ever heard of" Dean said simply as Bobby groaned. "This is still a bad idea" Bobby muttered. "Yeah, Bobby, I heard you the first 10 times. What do you say we ring the dinner bell?" Dean asked and Bobby nodded before walking off and starting the summoning and Latin ritual. Once they had finished they waited around for what felt like hours.

"You sure you did the ritual right? Sorry. Touchy, touchy, huh?" Dean asked before a large gust of wind came and started blowing around the barn. "Wishful thinking, but maybe it's just the wind" Dean said before the light bulbs started exploding. The front door was opened by a gust of wind and man wearing a suit and long brown trench coat walked in. He walked straight over the devil's trap they had painted so Dean and Bobby started shooting him with rock salt but that had no effect either. Dean picked up the demon knife and walked towards the man.

"Who are you?" Dean demanded.

"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" He said simply. "Yeah. Thanks for that" Dean said before stabbing him in the heart with the demon knife. The man looked down at the knife and pulled it out without feeling any pain at all. Bobby went to hit him from behind with an iron crowbar but he caught the crowbar and touched Bobby on the forehead with two fingers making him collapse to the ground.

"We need to talk, Dean" He said turning to Dean. "Alone" he added as he looked down at the unconscious man. Dean quickly ran over to Bobby and checked his pulse.

"Bobby's alive" A woman's voice said making Dean spin around to see a woman stepping out of the shadows wearing black cargo pants and a long dark red jacket with her face covered by a hoodie. "Who are you?" Dean demanded looking over at the man. "Castiel" Castiel introduced casually flipping through the book that Bobby was reading from moments earlier. "Yeah, I figured that much. I mean what are you?" Dean asked sarcastically already finding out his name earlier on in the week.

"He's an angel of the lord" The woman explained mystically as she disappeared and reappeared next to Castiel, her face still covered. "Get the hell out of here. There's no such thing" Dean scoffed standing up. "This is your problem, Dean. You have no faith" Castiel said before a large lighting storm hit and in the flashing lights of the storm, Castiel's shadowy wings were revealed. Dean stepped back in surprised before recovering and turning to the mysterious woman.

"And what are you? His groupie?" Dean mocked trying to not show how scared he really was right now. The woman chuckled dryly before stepping forward and removing her hoodie to reveal…

"Kaylee?" Dean gasped shocked going to take a step towards her before stopping himself. Dean watched as Kaylee tilted her head to the side and looked over at Castiel asking him a silent question. Castiel replied with a single look making Kaylee turn back to Dean. "I'm sorry, I don't remember you" Kaylee said shocking Dean and he spun to face Castiel with a growl. "What did you do to her?" Dean asked thinking about the last time he saw Kaylee and the fact that after that night she went MIA. No one had heard from her or her whereabouts for over a year now and here she was with an angel of the lord with no memory of him. "He did nothing that I did not ask for. If you want to know I will explain later but as for right now. We have more pressing matters" Kaylee explained firmly before walking back over to Castiel and leaning against the table next to him. The same table that had Bobby and Dean's weapons laid out on it.

"Some angel you are. You burned out that poor woman's eyes" Dean said to Castiel but he couldn't stop looking back at Kaylee, her now light blue eyes looking around the barn, bored. "I warned her not to spy on my true form. It can be… overwhelming to humans. And so can my real voice... but you already knew that" Castiel explained stepping forward slightly and Kaylee smirked. "You mean the gas station and the motel? That was you talking? Buddy, next time, lower the volume" Dean said sarcastically. "That was my mistake. Certain people, special people, can perceive my true visage. I thought you would be one of them. I was wrong" Castiel said simply making Kaylee chuckle.

"I told you so" She said to Castiel, who gave her a look that said simply put 'not the right time'.

"And what visage are you in now, huh? What? Holy tax accountant?" Dean mocked making Kaylee stop laughing and roll her eyes at Dean. "This? This is... a vessel" Castiel explained looking down at himself. "You're possessing some poor bastard?" Dean asked disgusted. "He's a devout man. He actually prayed for this" Kaylee explained sticking up for Castiel which shocked Dean. "Look, pal, I'm not buying what you're selling. So who are you, really? And why don't you remember me, Kaylee?" Dean snapped frustrated but Kaylee raised an eyebrow at him and gave him a lazy grin but remained silent.

"I told you" Castiel said confused as to why Dean didn't believe him. "Right. And why would an angel rescue me from hell?" Dean asked heatedly and Castiel stepped closer to Dean. "Good things do happen, Dean" Castiel said and Dean looked over at Kaylee, who was picking her nails bored. "Not in my experience" Dean muttered.

"What's the matter? You don't think you deserve to be saved" Castiel asked sadly and Dean once again looked over at Kaylee sadly. He didn't think he deserved it because of the things he said and did to Kaylee and now… she doesn't know who he is. "Why'd you do it?" Dean asked confused looking back at Castiel because looking at Kaylee hurt too much. "Because God commanded it. Because we have work for you" Castiel explained firmly.

"I'm not doing anything until you tell me why Kaylee doesn't remember me" Dean said firmly and Castiel looked over his shoulder at Kaylee who was twirling a dagger from the weapons table around her fingers. She paused and looked over at them as if realizing they were talking to her. She looked at Castiel, who nodded to her and walked over to her side. "You are Dean Winchester, correct?" Kaylee asked curiously as she walked towards him. Dean nodded slowly. "Your brother is Sam Winchester?" Kaylee asked and her tone suggested she had no idea who Sam was either. Dean nodded once more before seeing Kaylee disappear and then reappear seconds later with two packages in her hands. She handed them both to Dean. He looked at them to see one was addressed to 'Kaylee' and was opened. It had a video tape in it. The other was sealed and was addressed to 'Sammy Winchester'. Dean looked back up at her confused.

"Watch them with your brother. It should explain everything you need to know" Kaylee explained before both Castiel and Kaylee disappeared leaving a very confused Dean in the barn with Bobby.
