Stronger Than Ever Δ SPN [3]

031. SAVING THE BOYS

The girls get to Jody's and pull into the driveway, her car luckily there. They both get out, Ophelia practically running to the door and she relentlessly knocks until it's open.

"Hey, I was worr--" Jody is cut off as Ophelia tightly hugs her. "Whoa. Hey." Jody hugs the girl back. She sees Libby and holds an arm out, the younger girl joining the hug immediately.

"What happened?" Jody asks after a few moments.

"It's a, uh... long story." Ophelia says.

"Come on." Jody leads them inside, shutting the door. The two sit on the couch.

"Hey, Alex." Ophelia greets.

"Hey." Alex kindly smiles at them.

"So, um..." Ophelia sits on the couch. Libby sits on the couch, bringing her legs to her chest. Jody would scold her for shoes on the couch, but knows she's probably at least somewhat freaked out right now so she cuts her some slack.

"Well, so, we-we went to where you told us to go. You know, where the guy had a very angel-y death. And, well, he was a dreamwalker and Jack used him to try to find Mary. But he wasn't strong enough to hold the connection to the other world so he couldn't reach her. So he left and then the angels killed him."

"We found out about another dreamwalker, Kaia, and we found her at a rehab center, but Jack was also there cause he broke them out cause she's supposedly strong enough to get to Mary, even though the only place she ever really goes is something she calls the Bad Place."

"So after we saved her from angels and dad... managed to get her into the car... we were gonna go to the Wind Caves since there's like a stronger connection there or something. But we got found by angels and we were stuck in this ship and there were too many angels who were all gonna kill us, obviously, cause they're angels that aren't Cas."

"But while Jack was using Kaia to dreamwalk, they-they lost focus or something and I don't know what happened. There was this bright ass light and I couldn't see anything. I tried to grab onto Nathan or Libby or somebody, but I couldn't find them. And then next thing I know, I'm waking up on the side of the road near the ship and I only have Libby near me."

"So I don't know where Jack is or Kaia o-or Uncle Sammy or dad or Nate, they could anywhere. They-they could be dead." Ophelia states.

"Okay, hey, hey, hey." Jody puts her hands on the older girl's shoulders. "Breathe. Just breathe."

"I need Nathan for that." Ophelia whispers, panting.

"So think of Nathan. Think good things. Good memories." Jody instructs.

Ophelia thinks of Nathan, her mind racking for good memories. His laugh, his smile. The mischievous look in his eyes whenever he's about to say or do something that'll annoy somebody -- especially Libby or Dean. How he hums to himself when he's doing something like making food or picking up his room. His constant "I love you's," how he always steals her chapstick.

Ophelia doesn't even realize her breathing calmed down until Jody places a gentle hand on her knee.

"Better?" Jody asks and Ophelia nods. "Libs? How you holding up?"

"Fine." The younger girl mumbles, not looking away from where she's staring at the couch.

"Hi." They hear and turn to see Patience having just walked out.

"Uh... hi." Ophelia says, confused by the girl's presence. "What is-- why is she here?"

"She had a vision." Jody says.

"Oh, God." Ophelia goes through her hair nervously.

"Breathe. Keep thinking of Nathan. Breathe." Jody tells her.
