  Skylar, Castiel, Dean, and Sam walk towards the corn feilds.

  While following Sky, Dean notices a horse that's just walking around by itself, which seemed very odd to Dean. He moves toward the horse and it looks straight at Dean. He takes another step forward. 

  "Dean!" Skylar whisper yells, her voice urgent. She looks cautiously at the stallion.

  "Why is it wanderin' around like that?" He moves closer, his hand outstretched.

  "Dean, what was the only thing I told you to do?"

  "Stay away from Butch... why?"

  "That’s Butch," she explains.

  Castiel walks up next to Dean and puts a protective hand on his shoulder. "What's the big deal? It's just a horse," Dean asks.

  "He's a stallion. He doesn't like people... He's only ever let one person ride 'em and they haven't been around for awhile," she explains. She steps in front of Dean and Castiel and slowly steps towards the horse. "It's not safe..." It doesn't sound like she is talking to the boys anymore, more like she's remembering an something. "Cas, Dean... please step back."

  Butch stamps the ground and snorts at the approaching girl. It's obvious that it's getting irritated.

  Skylar steps forward, and Dean instinctively reaches towards her to pull her away. The horse snorts at Dean loudly and moves closer to Skylar.

  "If it's so dangerous, why are you getting closer?!" he says in a hushed yell.

  “Because I'm the only person Butch has let ride 'em." Dean steps back, and Skylar reaches the horse. She gently reaches out and strokes his mussel. "Hey there, big fella'. It's been awhile." She pets the horse and looks back at the boys. "Go on. Get outta' here," she whispers to the horse. She pats the horse on the rear and he takes off running.

  "You're lucky he didn't trample you!" she yells, spinning around to face Dean. "Look, as long as we're on the ranch, you might wanna' pay more attention. You may be older, but I've spent more time on country land then you and you almost got yourself killed. Butch won't even let Gramps touch him and he's lived on a farm his whole life! Listen, and stay out of the way, okay?!" She starts walking into the field.

  Sam follows Skylar and Castiel does the same. Skylar turns around to look at Dean, who's still standing where he was when he approached Butch. "Are ya' gonna stand there all day? Catch up, Winchester!" she calls.
