(Sam's POV)

Everything still feels so real, that's the confusing part about this. The wet grass still soaks into my pants, my face still feels warm when the summer air softly brushes past. And yet I feel so disconnected, like I'm not really here. I'm just sitting behind my own eyes watching, not living, because well how can a dead person live?

"Stop thinking so much, it's effecting Blue," Tara grumbles, head tilted down reading one of the moms many Rolling Stone magazines. When I turn my attention to Blue (where it should have been), there's a pout on his chubby face as he stares off at his lap, Violet talks animatedly at him not even noticing the mood switch.

"I'm sorry little guy," I whisper, crawling in front of him to hopefully sooth him a bit. It's so easy to forget the guardians emotions can effect the one they watch over, especially at such a young age. He looks up at me, but quickly shifts to Violet where she's still on a rant about whatever. He starts giggling when she pulls an exaggerated grossed out face at one part, I smile at that and move back to where I was sitting on the floor next to a half asleep Corey. One thing I've learned about him is that he sleeps ten times more then your normal Angel/Demon would, it's quite amusing watching him start to dose off on those nights Violet doesn't sleep till 1am.

About 20 minutes later the dad (who I've learned name is Corbyn) comes in telling Violet to get ready for the park, and grabbing Blue heading for the stairs.

"The park?" I guess Corey has chosen now to start paying attention.

"Yeah, one of us is gonna have to head back and tell the boys change of location," Tara stands and looks in the mirror that was above her, fluffing her hair a bit so it looks straight out of the 80s. "I'll go seeing as Sam can stay with Blue, that alright with you Sammy?"

"Uhm yeah of course, but where do you have to go again?"

Her eyebrows scrunch as she process the question, but then a look of realization takes it's place. "Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to mention, Colby and Brennen usually come join us when their jobs are done. So I'm just gonna go tell them to come here after."

I nod at that, Brennen seemed decent enough to spend some more time with. And well Colby is... different? "You said once their jobs are done, what are those?" I ask before she can leave after shrugging on her leather jacket.

"Just the basic demon stuff, I'll have Corey explain, be right back," she does that finger salute thing and exits the room. I know she's heading to the garage where the family rarely goes, because oddly enough even though they can't see us, they can see the portal like change as we go back home.

I just look at Corey waiting for him to pick up where she left off. "I mean like she said just the basic." I raise an eyebrow expecting more information then that, I can't help but be curious as to what my life would have looked like if I was one of them. He chuckles and nods before continuing, "Brennen's one of our head torturers, for the most damned of ghosts they bring them to the point where every fiber in their body regrets their choices and they live the rest of their eternity miserable with themselves."

"And Colby?"

"Colby... Colby is complicated, he's had a couple different jobs down there," he shrugs as if that should make perfect sense to me. Complicated, the exact word Tara used when I first met her to describe Colby.

"What? I though we were all 'destined' to play an exact role, could they not figure his out?"

"His situation is different." I pause my questions, really trying to figure out what that could mean. Different... Maybe Tara was wrong or wasn't supposed to tell me that there's more then me out there, I honestly can't think of anything else.
