"How are you feeling now?" Castiel says as he came in my room.

"Fine. Zoe, how is she?" I asked. He sighed, running a hand on his hair.

"She seems okay, but she won't let anyone enter her room. When I tried to walk in she threw a lamp at me. I think it's best if you talk to her, she doesn't trust anyone here... But you" Castiel explained. I nodded and went out of my room with him behind me.

Castiel pointed to where her room was, "Zoe?" I say, knocking on her door, "It's me, so please don't throw anything at me" I say as I grip the door knob and slowly open the door. There she stood near the bed holding another lamp.

"Zoe put the lamp down" I say, "No one's gonna hurt you here"

"How do I know that?" She asked, still holding the lamp.

"The one you tried to throw a lamp at? He's an angel, they're nice... A bit straight-forward, but nice, trust me" I say. She looks at me for a moment before setting the lamp down. I stepped inside the room and walked towards her.

"How are you feeling?" I asked as she sat on the bed.

"Terrible, my head hurts" She replied, rubbing her temples. I sat beside her.

"You can trust anyone here in this house, okay. Why won't you let Castiel heal you?" I suggested. She shook her head.

"I don't know him"

"He's nice, trust me" I say. She looks at Castiel warily before looking back at me.

"Fine" She gives in.

"I still don't trust anyone" Zoe says as we make our way downstairs with Castiel behind us. We head to the kitchen where Mom and Dad are eating pie. Zoe sat beside me.

"Here" I placed a slice on her plate, "Mom makes the best pies" I say as I put some on mine, "What about you, Castiel?"

"I must go, but save some for me" Cas says before leaving.

"Zoe, how are you feeling?" Dad asked.

"I'm... Er... Fine" She replied, eating a spoonful of pie.

"How's the pie?" Mom asked. I could tell they wanted more than one worded answers from her.

"It's great" Zoe says, "I've... "

"You've what?" Mom asked.

"I've never really eaten pie before... This is my first time" She admitted, looking down at her plate.

"Well, that sure isn't going to be your last." Dad replied with a kind smile.

"Thanks" Zoe replied.

"They're nice" Zoe says as we walk at the garden.

"Mom and Dad are the best. You know we never forgot about you. Mom and Dad were devastated when he took you from us. They never stopped looking for you. I wanted to help, but they didn't let me, saying that it was too dangerous. But we're happy you're here"

"I'm scared Zac" We both come to a stop, "I don't want to trust anyone, I'm done with getting hurt"

"No one is going to hurt you here, understand? We all love you"

" I feel like I don't deserve them" She referred to Mom and Dad, "They're too nice you know? They're like the total opposite of me. I spent my entire life loathing them--I don't know what to believe!"

"Believe me, us, and when we say we love you and care for you, we do! We're not gonna let you get hurt again you hear me? You're safe here" I reassured her.

"I trust you Zac, and I hope you don't break it"
