"What the hell?" Dean questioned Maia.

The demigod looked both scared and full of adrenaline. "I don't know."

"When did you get your powers back?" Sam jumped in.

"Uh, about five minutes ago." Maia still had a hard time understanding.

"How'd you get here?" Dean asked, worried about his daughter's safety.

"Hecate." Maia gulped, knowing that she wasn't Dean's favorite person in the world right now.

"Little help here!" Ellen yelled.

"Salt the doors and windows," Dean ordered as he went to help Jo.

Sam rushed to grab one of the huge bags of rock salt sitting in an aluminum bucket. Maia stopped him, smiling. "I got a quicker way. Everybody stay down." Maia warned as she placed her hands up, making the salt line itself up in every opening. Unlike last time with the grave dirt, she wasn't weakened.

"How?" Ellen stared at Maia.

"Long story," Dean answered, focusing on a groaning Jo. Ellen moved her daughter's hand from the wound to see how bad it is only to find that her blood was gushing out.

"What were those things?" Maia referred to the dogs she saw chasing everyone as Ellen wrapped Jo up in bandages.

"Hellhounds," Dean answered, shuddering at the memory of them ripping him apart.

Maia gawked at her father. "They can't be. Hellhounds look like black labs until you piss them off, then they grow five times their size. Those things were smaller and... glowing." Maia cringed not noticing the four sets of eyes staring at her. "...What?"

"You can see them?" Sam asked, eyebrows furrowed.

"Y'all can't?" Maia looked at everyone as they shook their heads. "Great," she mumbled to herself, going to grab more bandages.

Ellen turned to Jo telling her that she'd be okay. When Maia gave the brunette the extra bandages, she stopped her. "You moved all that salt. Can you help her?"

"I'm sorry, Ellen. But healing is one of the few things I can't do." Maia shook her head as she answered.

Sam and Dean stood in one of the aisles trying to get a radio functioning again so that they could contact Bobby. When the static sounded through the speakers, Dean had some hope that everything wouldn't end horribly.

"Sam, some help here, please?" Ellen called. Sam left his brother to go help his friends. Dean focused on the radio. After a few seconds, Bobby answered Dean's call.

"KC5 fox delta oscar, go ahead." The Singer's voice was like music to Dean's ears.

"Bobby, it's Dean. We got problems." Dean informed.

"It's okay, boy. That's why I'm here. Is everyone alright?" Bobby avoided telling him about Maia being 'missing'.

"No. Uh, I-it's-- It's Jo. Bobby, it's pretty bad." Dean stuttered out.

"Okay. Copy that. So now we figure what we do next." Bobby told him.

"Bobby, I don't think she's--" Dean stopped, not being able to finish the sentence.

"I said, 'What do we do next,' Dean," Bobby repeated himself.

"Right. Okay. Right." Dean hesitated but responded nonetheless.

"Now... tell me what you got," Bobby demanded.

Dean told Bobby everything that had happened since they got to town. The zero cell service, reapers, Cas going missing, Meg, hellhounds, and Maia showing up. Bobby relaxed a little, relieved to know that Maia was with Dean, and focused on the research he had to do.
