(Intro)
Mankind was saved from the Apocalypse but at a high coast, Castiel’s fellow Angels sent him back to Heaven to be punished; Sam survived but the brother’s relationship broke, Sam went his own way. Dean took both losses hard and turned to the alcohol; driving across the Country with nothing better to do and away from the hunt –or so he thought-, he gets involved in a shape shifter’s case, he thought he saved the damsel in distress but, she turned out to be saving him from himself. Some months later, she made the brother’s reunion possible and now like in the brother’s old days, the three formed a team, saving people from the creatures of the night…
It all changes when Castiel comes back…

FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS_ INSIDE A SEWER_ 9 MONTHS AFTER LUCIFER’S DEFEAT.
The sewer had so many tunnels that it looked like a labyrinth, she looks concentrated holding a flash light with her left hand and with a silver gun – a Colt 1911, a gift from Dean- low on her right hand with a finger on the trigger, she came across a “room” where another 5 tunnels land to and a single one formed ahead, from the tunnels on her right and left, Sam and Dean showed up, she:
- Boys, any luck?
- Yes, I just killed a hundred back there. Dean.
She leant her head to a side and raised her eyebrows, looked at Sam, he:
- No, just some bones, you?
- Would I be asking? What colour were they? The bones I mean.
- Yellowish, why?
- They were quit recently…
- How do you know? Sam
- She was in intern in an anthropology lab, remember? Dean.
- Sorry, I forgot about you Science geek backgrounds.
- I’m a geek!? Hello!
Suddenly, both Sam and Dean aim at her, she:
- Guys?
She looked with the corner of her eye and saw a shape behind her; turns and lifts the gun but it was taking from her and she was pushed to the ground, the brothers tried to pull the trigger but anothers came behind them and ripped the guns from them, fighting standing or in the floor, she looked at Sam and Dean and slowly took a knife hidden on her right boot and threw it to the creature closer to her, to the one Sam was fighting and wounded it under the arm, it ran away, she saw at Dean and gazed at her gun, spins forward and almost not aiming, she pulled the trigger and saved Dean’s life, the creature fell over Dean hard, after Beth and Sam took it from him, he stood up, Sam:
- That right there; earned you a veggie burger, great job!
Completely surprised, Dean:
- You never bought me food whenever I saved your ass…
She smiled and all walked down the alley where she came out of.

OUTSIDE_ A HOTEL’S FAÇADE_ A DOOR

A female hand knocks on a door; a very, very sleepy Sam opens it a few seconds later, with a roar voice:
- Beth, what are you doing here?
She lifted a trade with three coffees and a brown bag that she had in hand, smiled and walked in through the hole between Sam and the door; Dean came out of the bathroom in the second she reached the table, Dean:
- Beth, what are you doing here and so early?
She backed away from the table and let him saw what she just brought, Dean:
- You have to stop papering us!
- What’s wrong if I do?
- Then, we might get used to it…
Walked to her and touching her elbow, kissed her cheek, pointing at the mugs:
- Which one’s mine?
- This one.
Said as she passed one of them, took another and walked to Sam’s feet –who was still seating in bed-, he rubbed his face with his hands and looked up, she:
- I hope the sugar its right this time…
Took a sip and nodded with his eyes closed, she turned around with a smile on her face, Dean:
- You are in a strange good mood this morning, why?
- I had a good night sleep with a very nice dream…there was a guy…
- If it’s one of those dreams, I really don’t want to know…Sam
- Well, it’s not! I barely remember his face! All I remember are his warm and sad blue eyes and that he was maybe 2 inches shorter than you Dean…
- Do you know what it means that you don’t remember his face? Sam
- I do Freud, I haven’t met him yet.
Took a sip of her Soya latte:
- Are we going back to the sewer?
- I don’t see the point, we haven’t found anyone alive. Dean
- But one of those creatures got away yesterday.
- Okay!
Dean answered like given up, like being too tired to fight, Beth smiled pleased, Sam got up, left the cardboard on the table and headed to the bathroom, slamming the door hard, Beth leant to Dean:
- Have I done something wrong?
- No, don’t take it personal, today’s Mom and Jessica’s death anniversary.
- Oh! I’m sorry!
- Is okay.
Sighed and continued:
- I’m gonna check the Police about the missing kids, you and Sam check the sewer…
- Yes Boss!
Answered giving him a military salute.


INSIDE A SEWER (Back round music “Make me pure” by Robbie Williams)

Beth was behind Sam, he hardly opened his mouth on their way there, she was dying to say something and when she decided to say it, Sam opened his mouth first:
- Don’t.
- Don’t what?
- Say what everyone says in a day like today…
- Okay!
- Good, and I’m sorry!
- What for?
- For being an ass…
She leant her head to a side and looked at that part of Sam’s anatomy:
-Please, don’t compare yourself to that sweet part of you…
He smiled looking back and shook his head, she:
- Take it from me that they wouldn’t want you to be this way…
- How do you know? Have you lost your Mother and a boyfriend?
- Not my Mother but my boyfriend; that we have in common.
- You never said a word.
Beth got sad all of the sudden:
- We were 20, Lymphoma…Denny is-was, my first everything, it’ll be 6 years in three months.
Sam kept on looking back as walking; her face changed and pulled her gun up, Sam:
- Beth?
- Duck!!!
He barely did when she pulled the trigger; Sam looked behind at the corps lying on the floor:
- Your aim is getting incredibly better!
- Thanks!
Sam got up and kept on walking, some yards later, they came across a body in decomp; Sam covered his mouth, Beth bended in front of what was left of the face and gave a quick look at it:
- African-American, 10-12 years old, about 4 feet, I’d bet my money saying that this one is Latifa Mounded, the last girl missing…
- Ghouls can be nasty creatures…
- Sweetie, you fought them twice, no need to convince me, I see it now…
(End of music)

A MOTEL’S ROOM

Beth was the first one to come into the boy’s room and as she did, she saw the figure of a man in a trench coat standing by the window; took out her gun and aimed saying:
- Turn around slowly…
Sam saw at who she was aiming at and ran to her side, making her lower the gun:
- Beth don’t! I know him, Dean does too…
The man turned around, Sam:
- Is been a long time! How did you find us? I thought we had that Enoquian symbol on our ribs…
- Hello Sam; and you still do…
He looked at her with the gun still on her hand, looked at Sam to make him understand that he found them for her and looking back at Beth:
- I won’t hurt you…
- Well, is better to be safe than sorry…
- Beth, this is Castiel.
She looked at both and saved her gun on her waistband, came near him and stretched a hand:
- I’ve heard so much about you!
He hesitated for a few seconds, came close enough and squeezed her hand with both of his, her heart suddenly jumped on her chest when their eyes met, those were the eyes she dreamt the night before, he:
- The saviour…
Let go of his hand, Beth:
- What!?
- Only a pure soul could’ve done what you did for the Winchesters…
She smiled shyly, Sam:
- Dean is not with us Cass…
- I know, I have a case but he can’t know it came from me…
- Why not? Beth
- Because things didn’t end well…Sam
- It doesn’t matter how it ended, he swore loyalty to Heaven, I just prefer this way.
- Is just for them or I can be included?
- All of you.
- ‘k! We are listening! Sam.
Dean came back about an hour later and found Sam, throwing things inside a duffel bag, Sam:
- Oh, Hi!
- Hi! What are you doing?
- Packing…
- I can see that, why?
- Miles city, Montana.
- Is that supposed to tell me something?
- Serious demonic activity…
- Is a 2 days drive…
- 3 actually.
The door opens and Beth sticks her head:
- Ready?
- To drive for three days? Not quite!
- Yes, we are!
Sam said passing in front of him and throwing at him a bag, Beth grinned and he walked to the door shaking his head, majority ruled, as simple as that.

Interesting start. Curious to see where you are taking this.

thanks! Will update soon! ;)

*1*

3 AND ½ DAYS LATER_ MILES CITY, MONTANA

Even without stopping and taking turns to drive, it took them half a day more to get there, the only motel in town, had typical wood front and mountain view, Beth took her bags out of the Impala and headed to a previously booked room over the phone and stood there until Sam or Dean came with the keys, Sam threw her the key, as she opened:
- Bright and early guys!
- Goodnight Beth! Both said at the same time.
- Night boys!
Suddenly her southern accent floated; Dean saved her in Texas from a shape shifter and for some reason they stuck together, theirs wasn’t a sexual relationship, all the contraire, he saw a sister and she a brother. The 5 days she was in the hospital recovering from hypothermia, Dean told her everything there was to know about, Ghost, demon, Werewolves and so on and that convinced her that her path was now to be a hunter, Dean refused but she was –and still is- a woman that you couldn’t say no to, when she makes up her mind, nothing would stop her.
Beth came inside her room and as she turned on the lights, she saw Castiel standing in front of the table, passing his fingertips over it, Beth took a hand to her chest:
- Jeez Castiel!
Sighed and walked to the bed, putting her things over it:
- Hello Elizabeth!
- Is Beth and try not to scare the living crap out of me again...
- Understand.
- What can I do for you?
- Is Dean suspicious?
- No, not yet.
- Good!
- Why did you come to me? I thought Sam would be the right person to go to, being his brother and all.
- He hasn’t being alone yet.
- Oh!
A few seconds of silence later, Beth:
- Did something new come up? I mean, if an Angel shows up, there has to be a reason...
Her hair with a simple light and all, looked as silk and the way it fell over her face as she leant to a bag on the bed, made him to almost want to caress it, he never felt the desire to touch anything and that scared him a little; Beth looked at him with a smile, snapping him off his thoughts:
- Castiel?
- Nothing else...at least for now.
- Good, now, can I ask you something?
- Sure.
- Can you come with any news about this case to me? I mean, Dean sees right through Sam even when he doesn’t lie, and if you are serious about Dean not knowing...
- I believe I can.
- Good!
She took her laptop and walked to him, about to smell each other’s breath, she pulled him to a side touching his elbow and smiling; the softest smell of coconuts came out of her hair, he closed his eyes and sniffed her hair and it made him tremble inside; when Beth looked at him again, he was gone. She took a bath and it relaxed her so much that as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fall asleep.
That night she had another dream; this was the most vivid dream she ever had...
(Back round music “Addicted” by Kelly Clarkson)
Beth was at the end of a cliff, nothing but pure Ocean head of her, the air smelled clean, the wind was soft and the sun was warm; suddenly, Castiel appears next to her; smiling at each other, Beth put her arms around his neck, he surrounded her waist, her middle fingers cross through his face from the forehead down his cheeks, she barely touched him but, his eyes were close the entire time, sighed deep and hugged her tight, split and walked behind her, put his arms around her waist and placed his chin on her shoulder, she involved her arms around his and like that, staring at the Ocean ahead and without a word, she woke up. (End of music)


SAM AND DEAN’S ROOM_ NEXT MORNING

Beth knocked on their door, as usual one is half dressed, the other none at all, she was in a classical FBI suit, one look from Dean:
- Hell no! I’m not wearing the monkey suit again, once a week is bad enough!
- Suck-it-up!
She said as he walked to the bathroom, Sam unfolded a suit’s folder and lowering her voice:
- Castiel was in my room last night...
- Oh get used to it! He pops out whenever, wherever...
- We talked and decided that he’d come to me for updates...
- Why you?
- Because Dean sees right through you, even when you are not lying...
- Great! ‘Cause the times where he showed up and we didn’t get in a fight are slim.

A WHILE LATER

Dean came out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel around his hips, Beth turned around almost right away raising her hands, Dean:
- Oh come on!! You have more marks than a beach on a summer day!
- Dean that was hurtful...
Rolled his eyes and continued:
- True…but hurtful...
She wasn’t looking at Sam and yet she felt his piercing eyes on her:
- Stop looking at me like that Sam...
- With how many guys have you been?
- Little brother Beth is me in my days of glory...
Her eyes closed and her face got red:
- I WAS you Dean, is been 10 months since my last.
Sam was now in shock, two sex addicts that hadn’t have some with each other in over 5 months alone was too weird, especially from Dean; Beth is exactly Dean’s type.


POLICE DEPARTMENT_OUTSIDE

They reached the precinct at 9 that morning, came out of the Impala and all landed eyes inside, the front was glass and the whole inside could be seen, Dean raised a brow pleased at the front desk Deputy, and walked with that smile on his face, Beth stopped him with a hand on his chest:
- Oh No Dean Winchester! Do her and is our one way ticket to a federal prison…
Walked a few steps ahead and making a pony tail in her hair:
- Let me do all the talking…
Dean looked at Sam, this one:
- Don’t! She’s right…
The hunters got in the precinct and as soon as they did, all the people inside, suddenly shut their mouth, pulling up her shades, and taking all the fake badges at the same time, Beth:
- Agents De Young, Simmons and Hart, FBI…
The Deputy straightens up her posture as she said:
- Good Morning Agent, what brings you here?
- Unfortunately, nothing that we are allowed to discuss with you, we’d like to speak to Sheriff Jeremiah Caine, please…
Beth answered, the Deputy picked up a cell:
- Sheriff, there are three FBI Agents here to see you…
Hanged up a few seconds later and looked at them:
- He’ll be right out.
- Thank you!
They all answered at the same time, less than 30 seconds later a really tall and robust man in his 50’s opens a door:
- Agents, I’m Jeremiah Caine, let’s talk in my office.

INSIDE THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Dean and Beth sat as Sam stood standing behind them, Beth:
- Sheriff, we were alert of your sudden increase of missing person’s report and we came to investigate…
- We welcome every help.
- Sir, some of your missing people came back and with a partial amnesia, am I right? Sam.
- Yes, three in total, 2 don’t want to talk about it, not even to a shrink and one strongly affirms that she was possessed by a demon…
- Where can we find this people? Dean
- Marjorie Bing is in the Psych board of the local Hospital, Joey Wexler and Russell Green in their respective homes.
- Any weird activity lately?
Beth asked; the sheriff leant forward laying his arms on the desk:
- Such as?
- People acting strange, dark magic rituals… Sam
- Now that you mention it, yes, just yesterday, one of my Deputies found in one of the Mountain’s cave what it looks like a dark magic ritual but, what is that got to do with the missing people?
- Some cults can brain wash people’s mind and some are dangerous, so dangerous that they could make human sacrifices. Dean.

OUTSIDE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

All were about to get inside the car, Beth:
- ‘K! Who’s going where?
- Uh? Both
- 3 people, 3 of us…?
- Well, you go to the Hospital, woman are more open to other woman, we’ll go to Green and Wexler.
Beth got inside the car:
- Chop, chop!

HOSPITAL’S ELEVATOR

Beth was alone in it, the whole inside was luminal so, she could see herself reflected perfectly, looking at her fingernails, Castiel made his typical appearance:
- When the door opens, run…
Jumping in her place, put a hand on her chest, and looked at him through the reflection:
- Jesus Christ in Heaven Castiel! You have to stop sneaking up on me like this…
Sighed trying to catch her breathe back to normal:
- Why should I run?
- She’s about to get electroshock therapy…
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- Anything else?
- Does my presence bother you?
Beth turned around, with a really calm voice and warm eyes:
- No.
That way of looking at him, was in the same way she did in her dreams; yes, he was the responsible of her vivid dreams, he had been watching her for quite some time now, every since their eyes met on a diner back in Texas –not that she’d remember him though- and when Castiel found out that she was kidnapped by a shape shifter, he did everything in his Angel power to make Dean come across the case; every touch Dean gave her or every kiss, Castiel wished he’d be Dean, and then it hit him, he was feeling, like humans do and that feeling was love. The elevator stopped, he:
- I’ll go to your room tonight.
- I’ll be waiting for you!
The door opened and the 10 feet separating the elevator and the Psych board’s door, all that could be heard were her heels, rang frenetically the bell and slammed the FBI badge on it:
- Open this door!
The nurse on the other side let her in, at the desk, Beth opened her badge again:
- Special Agent Leigh Hart, I need to see Marjorie Bing…now!
- She’s schedule to electrical shock therapy Agent…
- Where?
- But…
- Where?
Beth asked in a serious way, the nurse:
- 5th door, left hall.
Her heels mixed with patient’s voices, as she came near that door, a male voice and a woman’s voice could be heard, both where yelling indistinctively, Beth opened the door and the Dr was fighting with the woman on the stretcher trying to restrain her, Beth pulled up her badge again, making sure her voice would stand up from the rest:
- I wouldn’t do that if I were you…Dr…
Turned around to look at her:
- The patient…
- If you approach that leash to Miss Bing one more inch, I will have you arrested for interfering with a federal investigation…
Beth looked at all the personal in the room:
- Everybody out, please!
Slowly all did, the Dr stood by the threshold, and Beth sat on a chair next to Marjorie’s bed, looked at the Dr:
- I said every one out and that included you…
- I’m gonna have to speak to your supervisor…
From her suit’s pocket and without taking her eyes off Marjorie, Beth pulled out a card:
- Be my guest!
He ripped the card off her hand and closed the door on his way out; Beth began to let Marjorie off her restrains and Beth’s face changed completely:
- Marge, I’m Beth, how are you?
She crawled in her self on the top of the bed, held her legs with an arm and with the other arm held in the air as she said:
- I don’t belong here…I don’t belong…I don’t…
- I know you don’t…
- Don’t patronize me!
She yelled snapping her head to look at Beth, Beth sat on the same chair:
- I’m not! I’ve seen things that if I ever speak about them, I know I’ll be exactly like you, locked away, because some people won’t believe…
- You say that because you’ve never had a black smoke jamming itself down your throat…
- No, but, I took it out of several people…I’m here to help…
Marjorie relaxed, Beth:
- What do you remember? Anything at all is fine…
About to leave the room 30 minutes later, Marjorie:
- The demon’s name was “Cordelia”.
- How do you remember that?
- I don’t know…I just do…

BETH’S HOTEL ROOM_ NIGHT


That night she excused herself to her room faking a headache, it was over 12:30 and there was still no sing of Castiel anywhere so, she decided to take a bath and when she came out, Castiel was there, touching the unfolded bed sheets, he didn’t know she was watching, a few seconds later, Beth:
- Not the best quality but, not that bad either…
Castiel raised his head still touching the sheets and his heart stopped on his chest, she had a huge (no less than 4 sizes more) old shirt and socks, her hair was still wet, the fact that she was almost naked and in front of an Angel didn’t seem to care that much to her; for him, it was just the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, though his face said nothing –as always-:
- Hello.
She smiled and for him the whole room lighted up; Beth walk to a side of him, put a hand on his left shoulder and tip-toed to kiss his cheek, both closed their eyes at the touch, after her lips left his cheek, he looked at her (she still had a hand on his shoulder), Beth:
- What?
- Did you just kiss me?
Smiled again and walked away from him:
- Is that wrong Cas?
- I tend to forget that humans greet in this way…
A small wrinkle appeared in between his eyes, she:
- You don’t want me to do it again…
- Is alright.
- You don’t mind? Really?!
- I don’t.
Being around her was a bit intoxicating for him; his mind flew for a few seconds before he went back to business:
- What did she remember?
- A lot actually, even the demon’s name…Cordelia.
Even if his face said nothing, his voice sounded concerned:
- Cordelia?
- I guess you know “her”, who’s she?
- Cordelia was second in command inside Lilith’s circle.
- And what about the dark magic ritual?
- They are meant to bring someone from the dead; I’ve been told that they’ve been trying to raise that someone for sometime now…
- Holy crap!
Pressed her lips and looked at him:
- Sorry!
He just nodded, went more serious than ever and looking up:
- I have to go…
- Don't become a stranger!
And with a sudden wind, he was gone.

NEXT MORNING

A hard knock woke Beth up the next morning, got out of bed and saw herself in a mirror close to the bed, her hair looked like possessed by Tina Turner, rubbed her hands up and down her face and dragged her feet to the door, opened and the boys were there, without a word, she walked away letting them in, the brothers exchanged looks and walked in, Sam:
- We agreed you to come at 8, it’s 8:45, you okay?
- Yeah, sorry!
- What happened? Dean
- The f***ing headache.
It was a relief to have a lie to cover the truth, took some clothe from a chair:
- Give me a minute…
- Sure! Sam.

INSIDE THE IMPALA

Beth was lost in her own thoughts, cardboard in hand and looking outside the window, Dean looked at her through the mirror:
- Here base, is Beth there?
Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked at him through the mirror too:
- What?
- Are you here?
- My body is…
- What is it? Sam
- Where are we going? Beth
- To a cave that Russell Green told us about, outside the city. Dean.
- Stop the car.
- Why? Sam
- I don’t think Dean should be driving as I say this…

Once the car stopped on a side of the road, both man turned around, Beth:
- The demon that possessed Marjorie, Cordelia, was second in command inside Lilith’s circle…
- What!?
- And the ritual is meant to bring someone from the dead…
- Again, what!? How do you know?
Dean asked; Sam tried to avoid his brother’s look because he knew exactly from where that information came from, Beth:
- Ask me no secrets and I’ll tell you no lies…


CAVE_ INSIDE

The light from the entrance was fading away; about to turn on the flashlight, Dean noticed than in a turn, some low lights reflected on a wall, Beth walked silently and peeked to a tunnel on the left, looked at them:
- No less than 10…
- Let’s get out of here and see if we can trap or follow any. Dean.


INSIDE THE IMPALA_ CAVE ENTRANCE IN SIGHT_ 4 HOURS LATER (Back round music “Fuel” By Metallica)

No one spoke, all looking at the entrance waited for any to come out, Sam looked the angriest of them all, his fingertips clapped on the door, Dean was about to yell to let it go when a demon walked out; Sam ran out the car and pins the demon on the wall of the mountain as he walked to it, Beth knew about Sam’s powers but, she had no idea that he was still so powerful, over 4 moths hunting together and he had never used his powers before, Beth looked at Dean as both ran:
- He still has powers?!
Face to face with the demon:
- Oh! I should have known! If it isn’t the great pumpkin Sam Winchester!
- You know you are not getting out of here alive so, start talking, who are you trying to bring back to life?
He laughed at loud, looked at all:
- Hit me with your best shot big guy!
Sam’s face filled with anger, Beth looked at Dean’s waistband and saw the knife, in less than a second, she stole it from there and walked in between Sam and the demon, in front of him, just looked at him and sliced his throat, she turned around looked at Sam and Dean who got scared of the anger in her voice:
- Don’t do that, ever again!
Looked at Dean:
- After all you told me you’d let him use his powers again…?
Her eyes went back and forward between the boys:
- You two just blew up our possible only chance to get a break in this case…I don’t know of which I’m disappointed the most.
Threw the knife to the floor hard and walked to the Impala, Sam looked at Dean; this one:
- Don’t say a word, she’s right…
(End of music)

A little Castiel romance maybe? Liking this. Update soon.

BETH’S HOTEL ROOM_ LATE AT NIGHT

That night she had trouble falling asleep, tossed in bed for hours and she finally decided to get up and make something useful of her insomnia, she had no idea why Sam using his powers upset her so much when at the beginning she thought they could be a good thing; turned on her laptop and walked to the bathroom to get a glass of water, when she took it out, somehow it slipped from her hand, smashing on the floor; picking up the pieces with a wet hand, one of the pieces slid from her hand, making a deep cut on her palm, got up quickly and turned on the faucet, as the blood ran down the drain, she closed her eyes and the first thing that came to her mind was Castiel’s face, shook her head and when she opened her eyes, Castiel was behind her, she looked at him trough the mirror, sighed and:
- Funny that you’d appear now, I was just thinking of you…
- I know…I felt you.
Walked to her side and saw the cut and the blood:
- What happened?
- Human stupidity… I’ll be fine.
Closed the faucet and took a towel to wrap the hand on, attempted to walk to the bedroom but, Castiel took her hand, looking at each other’s eyes, he unwrapped the hand (she moaned of pain when it was free) and with his left hand under and the right over it, touching barely her wrist and finger tips, a white light came out of his hand, they never stopped looking at each other, he barely smiled and when the light was gone, took his hands away, she looked at her hand and the palm was if the cut would’ve never happen, smiled full teeth at him:
- Thank you!
- You’re welcome!
- I didn’t know that Avenging Angels had the power to heal humans...
- All Angels have it, no matter the level...we’re just are not allowed to do it.
- Did I get you in troubles?
- No.
- You sure?
- Yes.
She walked away from him, they were so close that she could actually count every freckle on his nose, she wanted to touch his face but tried to emulate and sighing:
- We had a lead and Sam blew it...
- I heard and maybe it’s not too late to solve this case...
Said following her to the table where she had the laptop, as she began to open a page, her e-mail page:
- What do you mean?
- Marjorie Bing disappeared from the Hospital...
- What!? How?
- Looks like Cordelia possessed her again.
- Damn it!
Shaking her head and eyes closed:
- How do we stop them Cas?
- I don’t know yet.
Got up and closed the laptop, showing him the palm he just healed:
- Thanks...again.
- You’re welcome.
- I better go and let the boys know.
- Alright.
She thought he’d just disappear; instead he came close to her and touching her elbow:
- If you need me, just call out for me...
She smiled nodding; he approached his face and an inch away from her, twisted it and kissed her cheek, separate and barely smiling disappeared.

DEAN AND SAM’S DOORSTEP

Dean opened the door, clearing his throat:
- What are you doing here? It’s 2 am Beth.
- Can I come in?
Looked at her from head to toe and let her in, she approached Sam’s bed and slapped his feet; he sat in bed, struggling to open both eyes at the same time:
- Wh.What?
- Get up and get dress...both of you.
- Excuse me? Dean
- Look, I know that you might not like me right now but something came up and we need to go to the Hospital...
- Uh? Sam.
- Sorry for what I said, okay? I know I overreacted...
- No, you didn’t, someone has to tell us the truth and we are glad we have you to do it.
She smiled at both and walking to the door:
- Hurry up; I’ll wait by the car.
- What happened at the Hospital? Sam.
- Marjorie Bing disappeared.
- How? Dean
- I don’t know...

CAMERA’S CONTROL ROOM OF THE HOSPITAL

Beth and Sam were looking at the monitors, going over the tapes recorded that night, there was a clear silence and it had been like that for a while, still looking at the tapes, Sam:
- No one called to let you know about this, right?
- No, Cas let me know...
- Cas uh?
Said with a smirk on his face, Beth:
- Don’t, he’s incredible...
- How?
- What do you mean how? He’s an Angel, in every sense of the word; I love it when he’s around.
Sam looked at her stopping the tape, Beth:
- And uh...I cut myself (showed him the palm) and he healed me, it was deep and long...
- He healed you?!
- Yes and he shouldn’t have done it but, he did...
- What do you mean “he shouldn’t have done it”?
- He said that they are not allowed to heal humans.
Making a large eye contact, Sam:
- Be careful Beth, there is a reason why Angels and humans are not supposed to be friends...
- Dean got involved with Anna...
- And look how that ended.
Beth sighed deep and:
- When he’s near, I feel safe Sam.
- Just...be careful.
Beth was about to open her mouth and Dean opened the door, one look at them and he:
- Doesn’t take a genius to know you don’t want me to know something...
Sam played the tapes again and Beth focused on the screen that was showing at Marjorie’s door, Sam:
- What time they realized she was missing?
- Around midnight...the front desk nurses said that the lights blinked at midnight...
Beth looked at the hour of the screen she was watching and it read 12.15 am, about 20 seconds later, Beth frowned looking at the screen, touching Sam’s arm:
- Sam...Rewind...
He did and a few frames later, he stopped it, Beth:
- Can you see what I see?
- Yeah! She’s looking outside the window of her door...Sam
- Dean, get me a magnifier. Beth.
With it in hand, Dean walked through the door, gave it to Beth and put it over the screen:
- Play it frame by frame.
The image wasn’t of the best quality but the magnifier helped a lot, Marjorie was looking right at the camera, as if she would know that someone would be watching at the tapes and out of the blue, without blinking, her eyes turned black, Dean scoffed in frustration, Sam:
- It played us...it never left her.
Beth pressed her lips and closed her eyes:
- I’m sorry guys, it never accord me to test her first...
- She could’ve killed you if you would’ve done it, is not your fault, it happens to all of us. Dean
- Now what? Beth
- Now we go back to the cave...Sam

CAVE_ INSIDE (Back round music “Sweet sacrifice” by Evanescence)

Beth was in between the brothers, not looking behind or forward really, she whispered:
- If one is attacking me, I swear I won’t get mad if you do that thing you do...
Looked at Sam behind her:
- I’m really, really sorry...
- Don’t worry about it...
Sam said, maybe for their luck, there were only two demons in sight, Beth had a shotgun in hand, Dean the knife up and ready, Sam would use his abilities just to cover them, once inside, they saw that Marjorie was giving her back to them, talking to another demon:
- She is he’s weak spot, I smelled him all over her, we have to allure him somehow; he is –maybe- our only chance.
Beth opened her eyes wide, she knew even without mentioning names, that they were talking about Castiel and just pulled the trigger, Dean moved fast and stabbed the other demon, before anyone could think, Dean and Beth got pinned on the wall, Cordelia looked at Sam and raised a hand, Sam’s eyes went black and stepping a few feet backwards, fought Cordelia’s telekinesis, Beth began to recite the exorcism words in a really low voice:
- “Exorcisamus te, omnis inmundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursion infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta ergo...”
Marjorie, or better yet “Cordelia”, somehow heard her and turned her attention to Beth:
- No, no, no, no, no…I’ll get to you in just a second.
Said and pressed Beth against the wall, the pain was too much and she screamed, Cordelia turned around and catching Sam off guard pinned him on a wall too, she looked at Beth:
- I told you I’d get to you in a second...
Walked a few steps to Beth:
- Call him.
- No.
- If you think the crushing was bad, you have no idea, just ask Dean...Call him!
- No!
- You stupid little girl, I’ll find the way anyway...
- What the hell is she talking about Beth?! Dean
- Your girl here didn’t tell ya? Like you she has an Angel attached to her shoulder...
Looked at her deep in the eyes for a few seconds:
- And he left some grace in you recently...
Smiled pleased:
- This is better than I thought!
Walking away from her, Dean:
- Beth, what is she talking about?
All Beth did was to low her head, Cordelia:
- Call him!!!
Beth looked at her in anger:
- I said no!
Sam began with the exorcism and just when it seemed to be working, Cordelia left Marjorie all by herself, the three hunters fell to the floor, Dean:
- Who is your Angel, Beth?
- Let’s get out of here Dean...
Sam said touching one of his shoulders, Dean:
- No! And I don’t care if another demon might show up, I want answers...
- Too bad ‘cause you are not gonna get them, he asked for his name to be kept in secret and I intend to keep it that way.
Beth turned around and walked out the cave. (End of music)

BETH’S ROOM

She hesitated for a while to call Castiel, after all, the demons were after him now too, took out a jar of salt and demon proofed the room, after the thresholds were salted, she looked up:
- Cas?
Looked to each side and nothing; lowered her head and Castiel appeared on her right:
- Hello Beth!
Not knowing why, she threw herself in his arms, taking Castiel completely off guard:
- I’m so glad to see you!
She separated from him and he had both of his arms on a side of his body, she saw it and how uncomfortable he was and pulled away; putting a lock of her hair behind an ear:
- Sorry!
- Your voice sounded distressed.
- Yeah! I’m still shaken up about it...
- What happened?
Giving her back to him:
- We hit a mayor breakthrough on the case...
- Really?
- Yeah! They need an Angel and she wanted you...
- What?!
- She tried to torture me to call you...she said you left your grace on me...whatever that means.
- When we heal, we leave an energy behind, our grace.
- Oh!
Looking at him again:
- I think Dean is suspicious...
- Sooner or later he would, we knew that...
- Yes, we did.
Castiel was acting a lot different than a few hours ago and she manifested it:
- What is it? You are different...
A few seconds later and no answer from him, she:
- You were punished for healing me...I’m sorry.
- Don’t be, it was my choice.
- Still, I can’t help it to feel guilt; you are not allowed to see me anymore?
Made a pause, lowered his head a little:
- I could never do that...
- Why?
Looking at her right in the eyes and barely blinking:
- Because I can’t seem to keep myself away from you...
