We had pulled into the lot of a creepy motel to spend the night. I shook my head, realizing that my brothers did the same shit over and over again. They hunt, they eat, they sleep and just do it all over again. And sometimes I wished mom and dad were here, just to make life a little bit more normal. I'm lucky that I was able to come back to fill a small void I left in their lives. I could feel the pain when I died. Dean got more aggressive and killed more as Sam just threw himself more into research. I didn't realize what my mistakes did that would ultimately change my brothers for good. But the one thing I knew was, I was going to change it all this time. I refused to let my brothers go down this dark path much more. I needed to save them, to save us and maybe let us have some type of normal life in the end. Was it possible? Maybe? Could it be done? Yes and no. Depended on my thick skulled brothers.

It was now early morning and I lay on the bed next to Sam. Dean was not having Jack and I in the same bed. I was gross anyways. Jack would be more like a brother to me anyways. But anyways, enough of that human drama. I sat there thinking back to that vampire who had helped me and I wondered why he had done it in the first place? He said he'd been turned out of revenge and that he didn't want to kill. I would have to find him – even if it meant leaving these three behind. I needed to know more about what happened that day. I remembered bits and pieces, but it seemed some of it had been blocked from my mind. I bet that witch bitch Rowena had something to do with it. I had crossed her path so many times back then with mom. It was a wonder that she even worked with my brothers now. But what did I know?

I sighed and sat up in bed, debating on what to do. In the end, it was decided. I was going to go look for that vampire without my brothers and Jack. I needed answers and if I didn't get them soon, I was going to slowly go insane. And so I grabbed my stuff and quietly snuck out of the room. I had just closed the door behind me when the light came on inside. Shit! They heard. So I dashed down the road as quickly as I could and disappeared. I knew my brothers would be mad at me, but I had to do this. I had to find out what happened that day – the day I died.

I awoke with a jolt; I turned over to find Alana missing. I turned on the light and woke Dean and Jack up. This couldn't be happening again. Alana had once again taken off to god knows where. Did she not have any idea that being an angel out here was dangerous?

"Dean." I said, "Alana's gone."

"What?" he sat and bolted up. "Where the hell did she go?"

"I don't know. Her stuff is gone."

"Dammit to hell." Dean said and climbed out of bed, causing Jack to wake.

He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"Alana took off. That girl is going to be the death of us." Dean muttered.

"Why would she take off like this?"

"It had to have something to do with that vampire she met earlier." Sam said.

"The one I thought we killed all those years ago?" Dean retorted.

Sam pinched the bridge of his nose, knowing this fight was going to be bad. "I let him go, Dean. He saved her life by putting her near that tree stump – just like he tried to save her when she was a demon. I don't know why he did what he did, but for that, I let him go. I made that choice and if I had to do it again, I would Dean. So no, I am not sorry I did it."

"But Alana would be still dead and maybe, just maybe this could have been all over with."

Jack laughed, "Dean, I don't think you and Sam will ever not be in the business."

Dean shook his head, "We tried Jack. After dad and mom and even Alana died. We tried to get out. Hell Sam even lived it for some time there before I dragged him back in. We just want this to be over with so that we can just have a normal life."

"I don't think that's in the cards for us." Sam said, "Even when I had that normal life, I was constantly still looking over my shoulder."

Dean snorted, "Then I guess we better get our butts up and go look for that silly sister of ours. God knows what trouble she's getting herself into."

They packed in a hurry and Jack went outside to see if he could find out which way she went. Once he caught her scent, they got into the Impala and took off down into the darkness. Praying that Alana was safe.
