We had stopped at a motel for the night so we can rest. I needed some air so went out to the Impala and leaned on the hood. I look at the stars smiling remembering something one of my old friends told me about the stars.

"Sorry Baby girl, I will protect you" I whisper under my breath a bit angry Luci was hurt. I take out a picture of Luci and smile at it missing my car. "You must really like that car, she is a beauty," a voice says behind me. I turn around to see a young man, about 17 or so. He has dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. He wears a normal green T-shirt and jeans.

"Yeah, Luci and I have some history together" I smile at him. "You named your car?" He asked looking at the picture. "If you love something, name it" I giggle. He nods agreeing with me. "So, what is your business being at a dirty motel?" He asks walking next to me and leaning on the Impala. "Hunting with my father, uncle, and brother" I replied looking at the stars. "What is a guy like you doing at a dirty motel like this?" I asked staring at a particular normal looking star, but it was just a bit brighter than the others. 

"Needed time from home, ran away a few days ago" he sighs. I look at him, his jaw clenched and he radiates anger. "Problems with your parents" I ask. He nods slowly looking at the stars. "Wants me to be like him, wants me to be more stern with my little sister as well. His definition of stern and mine are way different" he says. "Running won't solve anything, trust me. I ran for most of my life but I slowly circle back to the main problem" I sigh looking at the stars again. 

He laughs a bit making me raise an eyebrow at him. "what's so funny?" I ask. "I don't even know your name but I am spilling my problems out on you already" he smiling turning to look at me. I put my hand out with a smirk. "Hello my name is Amelia, I run most of my life and I hunt monsters" I giggle. Thinking I was joking he laughs grabbing my hand to shake it. "Well hello Amelia, I am Josh, I also run and I am a soldier who protects my sister" we shake hands and separate my hand from his. "Well Josh, I got to get some shut eye for me to look even decent so cya in the morning" I giggle turning around and walking away into my motel room.

When I enter I see Dean in bed while Sam is researching away with Max sitting in a chair in the corner silently. I take a sigh tasting the beer and other horrible smells in the air.  I walk over to the couch and face plant onto it. 

My eyes flutter open awaking. Lucifer didn't come to me in a dream so I had to be chased by my own demons through a forest in a nightmare. I sit up taking my face from the couch. drool covers a spot but I ignore it. Now standing I walk over the bathroom. In the mirror, I can see Sam face down on his laptop's keyboard. Dean snores loudly from his bed dead to the world unless I make a sound. Max is asleep on the floor with only a pillow and a blanket. Quietly I turn on the water and splash my face and brush my teeth tasting the horrible mint toothpaste I keep buying cause it is cheap. 

When done I grab a change of clothes and walk back to the bathroom locking it. I undress taking a hot shower and think over a few things. When I'm done I step out and change into the only clothes I got left until I do laundry. My last clean clothes is a grey crop top and some shorts. I do light makeup to go with the outfit just because I felt like it. I walk out of the bathroom trying not to disturb anyone's slumber. 

I grab my running shoes and slide them on thinking about going on a run before the boys wake up. I walk over to the motel door and opening it. I take off down the street. The wind hits my face letting me taste a bit of freedom. I stop at the end of the entrance of the motel driveway looking left and right. Right leads to humanity, left leads to the forest. Fuck humanity.

I turn left and rush down the deserted road other than the cars that pass by. The trees that stand tall and strong like soldiers guarding the nature. I turn into the forest continuing to run. I run and run observing everything before me. The sun hits the trees and the grass giving it a certain glow to it. I dodge the branches that look like they are reaching out to me. I howl giving the creatures of the forest a heads up. 

A laugh escapes me as I push myself hard to go faster, you will never get anywhere without pushing yourself. Suddenly I am in a clearing, just grass except for one tree. I walk over to the tree and sit down closing my eyes. "You are right, you do run" a voice speaks up. I open one eye to see an out of breath Josh by a tree at the forest edge. "Well, Mr.stalker, running gives me freedom" I smile opening my other eye. he laughs walking over to the tree I am leaning on and sits down. "I am not a stalker, I was walking by the road and I saw you run past. I decided to catch up and chat but damn, you run like the devil is chasing you" He sighs taking deep breaths. 

I would catch you

I giggle at both remarks. "So Joshy, since your here, want to take a walk?" I ask looking at him. He looks at me like I am crazy for a second before he stands up putting on an 'I am a man' face. I giggle standing up and begin walking toward where the motel would be. Josh walks beside me as we are in a comfortable silence. "I thought about what you said, about running away. You were right, I can't run forever" Josh smiles giving me a glance. I feel a smile tug at my lips and I let is spread across my face. "Your sister needs you, and your old man needs to be put in his place. I would always put mine in place if he crossed a line. Judging by that bruise on your shoulder, yours did cross a very fine line" I say as I keep walking. 

He looks down and nods just as we arrive at the motel. Time does pass fast when you're distracted. "Cya Josh, see you in hell" I giggle giving him a peace sign before walking to my motel door seeing him laugh as he walks over to a bike. I open the door to see a very confusing scene.
