Katherine

K groggily came to. She tried to look around but it was too dark to see anything. She felt warm liquid trickling down her forehead. She reached up to wipe it away but her hand stopped abruptly and inches away from her face. She tugged her arm and the sound of chains rattled against each link. She struggled aggressively but to avail, she was once again trapped. Instead of being tied to a chair this time, the chains were coming from the cold, concrete floor and attached at her wrists. She was sitting there helplessly, not knowing where she even was or what happened. Just as her eyes were starting to adjust to the darkness, a loud creak startled her and she winced from the bright light coming from a door opening. She tried to scoot away from whatever was about to enter the room but she couldn't move more than a few inches. The sound of a familiar voice sounded through the empty room as he stepped into view.
"Ready to come home darling?" Crowley asked. He stood with his hands in his pockets, smirking. "Crowley?" K asked. "What the hell happened?"
"Werewolf. Don't worry. He was taken care of. Now. If you're ready, my love, we can go to Hell and spend eternity ruling it. Together." Crowley stepped forward. "So what's the move?"
"No." K said simply.
"No?" Crowley repeated, confused.
"No. Thank you for dealing with the werewolf Crowley, but I want to live here. In Lawrence." She stated.
Crowley waved his hand in front of him and the chains around K's wrist fell off of her to the ground. She stood up and wiped away the blood that was running down her face.
"You want to stay with the Winchester's." He said bluntly.
"No I really don't. I want to be free. K want to make my own decisions. I want to be alone. I want to be away from monsters. Away from Demons, angels, all of it. I would like to thank the Winchesters for all their hospitality but I want to leave the bunker. I want to leave and all of this be over. I will stay in contact with you, just let me go find myself first.
Crowley was silent for a moment. He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Alright fine. But don't hesitate to call for me if need be."
K smiled and hugged Crowley. "Thank you. Maybe you aren't so bad after all." She told him.
K stood back and Crowley snapped his fingers.

Within seconds K was not in the room with Crowley anymore. Instead she was in the backseat of the Impala, with Dean and Sam in front. Dean was going every bit of 100mph down the empty highway. No doubt looking for her.
"Hey guys." She said with a smile. Dean immediately slammed on brakes and K had two guns pressed to her already bleeding forehead. She threw her hands up in innocence. "It's just me!" She said quickly. The boys dropped their guns and Dean threw the Impala in park and jumped out of the car. K followed suit apologies spilling out. "Dean I'm sorry I just went for a walk I didn't want to be alo-" she was interrupted by Dean crashing his lips into hers and his rough hands cupping her face, pulling her into him. K's thoughts were scrambled as their kiss seemed to last forever. It ended a lot sooner than she wanted to. Dean searched her eyes and pushed her hair behind her ears. He pulled her into a tight hug. It felt as if she would lose all composure if he were to let her go. He spoke softly into her ear. "I thought I'd lost you, K. I wasn't gonna stop looking for you. What happened and how did you get back?" He questioned.
"I don't know who but a werewolf took me from the woods. Long story short, Crowley saved me and sent me back here." She explained. Dean pushed away gently and looked into her eyes again.
"Crowley saved you? What else did he say?" Dean asked. She didn't want to tell him about the conversation between her and Crowley. So she bent the truth a little. "He just asked me where I wanted to go and I told him back to you." She said. Dean's face lit up with happiness.
"Please don't leave again. You disappearing made me realize how much you really mean to me. But it also made me realize how much every monster is going to look for you. Please don't leave again. I don't want to lose you, K." Dean told her. His voice was breaking with every word he said.
K smiled at him. She felt like he really meant it. She nodded her head.
"I won't leave. I promise."
Dean gave her another quick kiss and opened the back door of the Impala for her to get in. He climbed in the front seat and turned up the radio to an Aerosmith song. She didn't know if it was Dean's great choice of music, or Dean in general, but she was happy and there was a reason behind it. But for now, she was gonna catch some sleep. She leaned her head against the window and drifted off to sleep.

They arrived at the bunker and only Sam got out. Dean asked K to sit for a minute. After Sam had left and went in Dean got out and opened K's door for her to get out as well. Dean leaned his back against his door and crossed his arms over his chest.
"What is it?" K asked.
"I just wanted to talk. I know I haven't been the nicest since we met and I want you to know that I'm truly sorry. For everything. For hurting your feelings, for giving you mixed signals, all of it. I talked it over with my brother and I just can't see you walk out that door without you knowing how sorry I am. I care about you, K. Will you forgive me? And let me show you how much I really care about you? It's not the best life to have and we'll figure everything out as we go. But will you stay here? With me?"
K was silent for a moment to process everything Dean had said. She really wanted to but another part of her was telling her to forget it. She went with her heart.
"I forgive you Dean. And I'll stay with you." She told him, smiling. His face instantly lit up and he pushed off of the Impala, grabbed her by the waist and kissed her so passionately that K felt like nothing else existed. He didn't let her go for what seemed like hours and K didn't really want him to. He finally pulled back and stared into her eyes. He looked down to her lips and kissed her softly before interlocking his fingers in hers.
"Then let's go get ready." He told her.
K had a look of confusion on her face. "Ready for what?" She asked.
"Well I was thinking about we don't really know each other that well. So I wanna take you out on a date. A real date." He explained. K tried to hide it but she blushed. Her and Arthur went on a few fancy dates but this time it felt different. She knew deep down Dean really liked her and she liked him too. Whatever feelings she had for Arthur were long gone.
"Ok. When you wanna go?" She tried to contain her excitement. Dean smiled.
"Now. See you in 20." He said.
And with that they walked out of the garage and parted ways at their rooms.
