As I entered a room I sat down in a chair, at a desk, in the center of the room. A woman walked in a moment later. She had like silver gray hair to chin and two scars across one cheek. I instantly recognized her as Lin Beifong. Of course I would confess my sins to my favorite character. As if confessing wasn't hard enough, I had to make a horrible first impression with my favorite character.

"Alright I'm just going to ask you a few questions and then you can go."

"Don't bother. I'm here to confess. I killed Metatron." I recited everything from the beginning of last year, or at least from Halloween last year to Halloween this year. I told her everything about the war and about Metatron's plot, making sure to put a lot of emphasis on the self defense portion of it. When I was done speaking she stood up and walk over to me. I held out my hands accepting my fate and as I suspected she placed handcuffs on me and lead me out of the room. I heard lots of hushed whisper as we walked. People were probably wondering why I was being lead out in handcuffs instead of walking out so the next person could go in. I was taken down to the station and placed in a holding cell.

"You are only being held here for a while. We don't have any actual evidence that you killed him. As far as we know you could have made the entire thing up."

"If you don't believe me look at the cameras in the old warehouse. That's where I killed him."

"I already have officers going over there. What I don't get is why you didn't bother coming up with a lie."

"I figured you would all find out eventually so I decided to tell you. There is no point in avoiding what I know is inevitable." I shrugged as I spoke.

"You seem like a smart person. Why did you kill Metatron. You could have had a future."

"He kidnapped my daughter. A mother would do anything for their children. The only way she would be safe was if I killed him, and killed him for good because he didn't die the last time."

"You seem a little young to have a child. How old are you?"

"To be honest I didn't want to have a child this early. I wanted to be settled down with a steady job and a husband. Things didn't work out in my favor. Everything happens for a reason. The bad only leads to future good if you are willing to accept what has happened. I wanted to get rid of the child when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't want to have to worry about her on top of my school work. Gabriel was against killing the child from the beginning. When the child had died I realized I didn't want to lose it. I sold my soul to bring her back. Now she is the light of my life. If anything happened to her I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. I saved her, that's all I care about. I'll accept whatever fate I'm given." I explained to her. Lin turned to walk away.

"You have a good head on your shoulders kid, you probably would have made a good mother." She left after that. I sat alone in silence staring at the wall opposite me. There was a click from the bars and I looked over. One of the officers stood there with the door open.

"You have some visitors." He told me. I stood up and walked over to where he stood. I assumed he would cuff me but he didn't. He led me into an empty room. Moments later a group of people entered. Anakin, Dean, Sam, Cas, and Charlie came in. In Anakin's arms was Sarah. Charlie was the first to move. She stalked over to me and slapped me across the face.

"What the hell were you thinking?" She yelled.

"I was protecting Sarah."

"You had Sarah, you didn't need to kill him."

"Do you really think he would have allowed us to? He was the reason for everything that has gone wrong the past two years. Now he is dead. He is gone. Sarah is safe. We are all safe. We don't need to be worrying about him anymore."

"And Sarah is going to grow up without a mother. She will grow up thinking you are a killer. She may even end up being afraid of you."

"I... hadn't thought about that." I admitted.

"Cause you don't think with your head. You think with your heart. You did what you thought would help others, and it has, but at the cost of your daughter now growing up without a mother."

"You are talking like I already lost the case. I'm going to plea for self defence."

"Do you really think they will believe that?"

"Charlie, I'm going to win this and I'll be back in school for next year. I promise."

"That's what I've always liked about you Grace. You are stubborn and never give up. I've got my bets on you." Charlie hugged me.

"Thank you Charlie."

"Hey, save some of her for the rest of us." Anakin said as he walked over as well.

"Don't worry Skywalker, there is plenty of me to go around." I broke out of Charlie's grasp to give Anakin a hug. I then took Sarah from him.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. I might not get to see you again for a while." I kissed her forehead and turned to the others. "If I end up going to jail, I'm giving Anakin legal custody of Sarah.I know what happened in the past with Gabriel wasn't him, but he could very well do that still. I don't want him near her, especially since she is afraid of him." They nodded. Dean was the next one to come over and hug me.

"We will keep Sarah safe while you are in here, and when you come back out she will be excited to see you again." Dean told me as he broke away.

"Thank you so much Dean. For everything. You have been there for me the past two years. I can't thank you enough for that." The door to the room opened and I thought it would be one of the officers, but it wasn't.

"Hi, I'm Laurel Lance. I'm going to be your Lawyer."
