The Supernatural Diaries- Extract One: The Hunted

Chapter 23 - 'No, No Rocket Launcher'

Lilith struggled to yank her bags over her shoulder as she hurried down the corridor before taking off at a run after Sanya.

They were both outside by the time had Lilith had caught up.

"Sanya, don't go." She insisted. "You know you'll just be worrying for Izzie, too. You might as well stay and help. I know you don't agree with Sam and Dean helping but-" She took a deep breath to calm herself as once again. Sanya wouldn't look at her. "This isn't about me or you. This is about Isabella being missing and I'm only here for another day-"

"You could stay." Sanya bit back, eyes sharp as they finally looked to the blonde, "Not for me. Stay and help them look."

"Sam and Dean have to keep on the move-"

"But you don't! After a month with them, you'll have to, though. You'll be fucking up your life."

"They're good people, Kid. Trust me- stay to help us look. The Vamps will rip me apart without you there and-" and I want you there. "I want to spend the time I have left here with you. Reyna needs us. Please stay."

"Reyna needs us." Sanya repeated, completely at a loss of what to do or say. Oh, she had lots of things to say, but none of it should be said in public and what she wanted to do was either illegal or unwanted. "I'll come- but not with you. I don't want to spend another second with you. I'll stay and I'll help look, but only for Issie and Reyna. I don't want anything to do with you anymore."

"I-" Lilith had always thought of Sanya as predictable, especially after so many years. Today, however was proving her massively wrong.

Sanya didn't let her interrupt, speaking on, "After today- tomorrow, whatever, I hope I never see you again. Not in real life or Skype. Not anywhere."

I hate you was on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't say it. It was too decided, and she was anything but.

And then she turned on her heels and marched back inside.

Lilith entered what had been Isabella's Hospital room a few minutes after Sanya had. Much to everyone's surprise, Damon stayed quiet- he didn't even tease them about it. Even Damon Salvatore knew when not to tease Sanya and Lilith about what was 'going on between them'.

Stefan mentally patted him on the back.

"So, you were saying something about the Hunters?" Reyna spoke, breaking the tension in the room as she looked to the blonde Witch.

"Right, I'll give them a call." Lilith said, her voice low before whipping out her phone and dialling Dean's number.

"Hey- no, I'm fine- he did?- no, I don't need to talk about it-" Lilith gave a quick, panicked glance to a scowling Sanya before quickly turning her back, "no- at the Hospital, could you come over?- I'm with them- no, no, I'm not a hostage, Dean- Izzie's missing, we can't track her- yes- the one we shot, yeah...- okay, thanks- yup- oh, very funny, I'm so incredibly amused- no, no rocket launcher- thanks, Sam- yeah- okay, bye."

"How do we knew they won't try anything on us?" Stefan tested once Lilith hung up.

"We're in a public place, for starters." Lilith replied. "But they won't, you have my word that they won't."

"The words of a Witch who betrayed her own kind? We'll need more than that." Damon replied, eyes narrowed at the blonde.

Lilith rolled her eyes slightly, "Even if they did try something- which they won't- they won't succeed because there's six of you and three of them."

"Fair point." Caroline accepted.

"So, how's Elena?" Sanya asked, having heard enough of the Hunters.
