Dealing With Demons

“All I want to know is where Lilith might be,” Erica snaps at the demon.
He just smirks at her. So she throws him into the wall without releasing him from her invisible grasp. “Tell me now and maybe I won’t kill you,” Erica says through clenched teeth.
“I’ll put it this way she is somewhere you’ll never find her,” he says.
“Wrong answer,” Erica says as she closes her eyes.
When she opens them up they are completely ice blue. Her icy stare burns the demon but doesn’t kill him. As she focuses harder the demon begins screaming in pain. When he still doesn’t talk she kills him. As she is walking out the door of the warehouse her cell starts ringing. She looks at the caller I.D. She immediately knows the number. It’s Dean’s. She stares at for a few seconds before hurling it at the building behind her.
She collapses as the pain of not seeing or talking to Dean finally get to her. After a few minutes she stands back up and wipes away the tears. She gets in her car and heads back to the motel. That night as she sleeps she dreams of Dean and seeing him but the dream quickly turns into a nightmare. Lilith shows up beside Dean and stabs him in the back. “I told you to stay away from him,” Lilith says as she disappears.
“NOOOO,” Erica screams as she jolts awake.
Her breathing is heavy as she tries to calm down. Just then the phone in her room starts ringing. “Hello,” she says groggily.
“I know it’s late but your brother wants to talk to you,” Bobby says.
“Okay, put him on,” Erica says as she rubs her eyes.
“Hey Erica when are you coming home,?” Ty asks.
“I’ll be there tomorrow,” Erica says.
“You promise,?” he asks.
“Yes I promise,” Erica says as she smiles to herself.
“Okay goodnight,” Ty says.
“Goodnight,” she says as Ty hands the phone to Bobby.
“Goodnight,” Bobby says.
“Night Uncle Bobby,” Erica says as she hangs up.
She lays back down trying to get some more sleep. Just as she is drifting off to sleep someone pops in her room. “Hello Erica,” he says.
She pins him to the wall as she stands up. “Who are you,?” She asks as she advances on him.
“My name is Puriel I’m an Angel of the Lord,” he says.
She stares at him for a few seconds before releasing him. “What happened to Gabriel,?” she asks as she sits on the edge of the bed.
“He has disappeared,” Puriel says as he leans against the wall.
“Why are you here,?” She asks.
“To protect you,” he says as he disappears.
Erica groans as she falls back onto the bed. After a few more hours of laying there Erica decides to just get ready to go. Just as she starts up her car and Puriel pops in the backseat.
“Dude are you trying to give me a heart attack,?” she says sarcastically.
“I apologize but I need you to stop hunting for a while,” he says seriously
“Why,?” she asks.
“I will tell you later right now you have to get to your Uncle’s place,” He says as he disappears.

After a long drive she finally pulls up to the house. As she gets out of her car the front door opens up and Ty come running out. She picks him up and carries him back to the house. As she collapses on the coach Bobby comes into the living room. “Hey Uncle Bobby,” she says as she stands up to hug him.
“Why haven’t you been answering your cell today,?” Bobby asks.
“It busted yesterday,” she says while avoiding eye contact.
“You should get a new one then,” he says.
Erica nods in agreement. Just then Bobby’s phone starts ringing. After a couple minutes of talking Bobby heads back into the living room. “Who was that,?” Erica asks.
“A hunter who needs me to do some research so that he knows what he is up against,” Bobby says.
“I’ll do the research if you want,” Erica suggests.
“Only if you want to,” Bobby says.
“Yeah I want to, so what type of creature are we looking for,?” Erica asks.
“I don’t know he’s going to call back later with the details,” Bobby says.
Erica nods her head in understanding. “Lets watch cartoons,” Ty says.
“Alright,” Erica says as she lays down on the couch.
After a few hours of watching a Tom & Jerry marathon Bobby’s friend called back with the details of the monster. “Here,” Bobby says as he hands Erica a piece of paper.
“Wow,” Erica says as she glances over the paper.
As Erica stands up Ty looks at her. “Don’t worry I’ll be right back,” she says.
Ty smiles at her and goes back to staring at the TV. Just as Erica starts grabbing a few books from the study there is a knock on the front door. “Hello my name is Matt I’m a friend of Erica’s,” he says.
“Alright I’ll go get Erica,” Bobby says as he motions for Matt to follow.
“Erica a guy named Matt is in the living room, he says you two know each other,” Bobby says.
“Okay thanks,” Erica says as she heads towards the living room.
“You chose Matt as your human name,?” Erica asks once they are away from the house.
Puriel just nods his head. “So why are you here,?” Erica asks.
“You are in danger Lilith isn’t on Earth anymore but she has sent demons and Hell Hounds to keep an eye on you,” Puriel says bluntly.
Just as Erica starts to speak she senses someone pulling into the driveway. She pops in next to the house to see who it is. “Crap,” she whispers to herself.
“Who are they,?” Puriel asks as he pops in next to her.
“The Winchesters,” Erica says as she looks away.
“How am I going to get out of this,?” she asks.
Just then she hears a dog growl. As she turns her head the dog leaps at her.
