Chapter 3

She awoke to the bright sun shining on her face through the motel's window. Lydia let out a small groan as she slowly sat up. After rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, Lydia looked around. 'Wait...this isn't my motel room.....This isn't even the same motel I checked into....' she thought frantically as she looked for her phone. Which was on the nightstand beside the bed. She reached out a hand to grab for it, when she noticed a familiar duffle bag on the chair on the other side of the room.


A very familiar duffle bag....


"You're awake."


She turned her head to the youngest Winchester.


"S-Sam..." she trailed off, swallowing thickly.


"Yeah, it's me. Two questions..."


"Shoot," Lydia said, then she realized she no longer had her beanie on her head.


"One, are you CRAZY for not calling for backup on that hunt?!"


"I thought it was only 2! If i knew it was more, I would've called. You, of all people, should know that by now..."


"And two, when were you gonna tell us?"


"About what?"


"I think you know what, Lydia."


"I'll...I'll tell you all at the same time....and uhm...where's Jack?"


"The demon dude? He's out on a snack run with Dean. Blake went to gather your things from the motel you checked into. Cas went with him."


"Can....we wait until they all get back before I explain everything?" she asked timidly.


Sam sighed. "Alright, we'll wait. And you took a big risk trusting a demon...especially one like him."


"Yeah, I know..but it's just a feeling...that I can trust him. Sam, I think he's good on his word..."


"And you're absolutely sure?"


"Positive. If he turned on me, you three would be the first to know, I promise."


"Okay, okay. Just be careful, alright?"


"I shall."


Before either of them could say anything else, the door opened.


"Alright, who ordered snacks??" Jack said as he stepped into the motel room, lifting up some bags, filled with snacks. Dean was behind him.


"Jack!" Lydia called, a small smile - Sam didn't miss the way her face lit up when she heard Jack's voice - when she saw him.


"Well, looks like you're awake, sweetheart."


"Yeah, I am."


Sam sent a look to his brother. The two disappeared into the kitchen. Both of them spoke in hushed voices.


"She really trusts him, Dean."


"Sam, he's a demon. How do we know he isn't planning on handing her over to some other demon like Crowley??"


"You know Lydia can handle herself. And besides, she did tell me that you, me, and Cas would be the first to know if he betrays her, alright?"


The two stayed quiet for a moment, listening to Lydia and Jack chattering away in the other room.


"I hope I never regret saying this...but we should just keep an eye on him," Dean reluctantly agreed.


Sam nodded.


Back in the other room, Jack and Lydia were already halfway through their snacks. Lydia looked up when they entered the room.


"When're Cas and Blake going to get back?"


"...good question.."


"Well, I ain't explaining anything until they do..."


And with that, they all sat and ate their snacks. Lydia made sure to hide some snacks for when the two get back, though she wondered if the angel would eat them or not.
