"Same as you, we're investigating the strange disappearance of Wade," Shela answered and even though she had calmed down it didn't stop her from wanting to scream and shake Dean until he gave her a straight answer about all the unanswered messages.

"Girl I can literally feel everything you're holding in," Kristina commented she had been feeling Shela's anger for months thanks to her empathic abilities and she was ready for this unresolved conflict to be over. "In fact Sam and I have decided to give you both some time to talk," Kristina continued.

"We have?" Sam asked in confusion.

"Yes we have," Kristina declared and then walked away dragging Sam with her to another part of the room. What none of them noticed was that outside the window a raven sat on a tree watching their every move. To the blind eye it was just a normal raven but this raven was far from normal.

"So umm can you let go of me?" Dean asked slowly, not wanting to set her off again by saying the wrong thing.

"Not until you explain yourself," Shela answered and used her ponytail to flick him the face with her hair. He internally sighed at this but knew that he owed her an explanation even if it was a lame one.

After seeing this the raven took off into the night sky and easily blended in thanks to his black feathers. He flew through a dark forest full of large black vines as tall as the trees that practically covered the entire pathway. Along the way he saw almost no animals as this forest was feared by not only people but also wildlife because those he came in never came out. Eventually he stopped at an old castle that lay mostly in ruins, however on the inside a cloaked figure was sitting on what remained of the throne. The figure held out a hand for the raven to land on and the raven obeyed immediately.

"Welcome back I was starting to worry," the figure said to the raven as he stroked the raven's back with his other hand. "Now tell me what did you see?" The figure asked and with a flash of green from his hands he caused the raven to fly off and change into a man with black hair and dressed in almost complete black clothing.

"The girl has taken the bait but she suspects nothing, before long she will be all yours," The Raven answered but gave more info that the figure didn't like "But she has help from her best friend and the Winchester boys." He finished, the figure clenched his fist causing sparks of green to emerge.

"They can't interfere with my return, keep an extra close eye on the girl and when she least expects it." The figure paused before giving the last statement of his order "bring her to me," the figure commanded and the raven nodded and changed back into himself so he could fulfill his orders.

"I am looking forward to your visit my old friend," The figure said, turning the throne around so it was facing away from the door. Meanwhile back at the motel, Shela sat on the bed and glared at Dean waiting for the explanation especially since he hadn't spoken to her in months.

"I apologize for not answering any of your text messages," says Dean. "Frankly, I didn't answer because I wasn't used to being so close to someone like you," Dean rubbed the back of his neck nervously. This was the first time he had ever felt it was best to open up to someone the last time he was this open was when he was helping an old colleague deal with a ghost truck. He hadn't seen her since.

"I didn't know that," Shela said "Of course, without you talking to me I figured I deserved it,"

"Whoa," says Dean as he took a seat next to Shela. "What do you mean?"

"Last time I was this close with someone, it was sixth grade when I had my first boyfriend," Dean nearly choked on his spit as he looked at Shela in shock.
