Lydia lay awake that night, unable to sleep. There was too much stuff going on in her mind. She wished she was back in her bed in the bunker, but since someone somehow framed her for attacking Sam, she now had no permanent home. She guessed she could go back to Uncle Blake. Hopefully he would forgive her and take her back in. The fight they had still goes through her mind, and she remembers it as if it happened an hour ago.

She grabbed her phone off of the nightstand beside the motel bed. Going through her contacts, she stopped at 'Blake'. Lydia hesitated a little before she hit 'call'. It rang a couple of times before someone answered.

"Hello?"

"Uncle Blake....it's Lydia.."

"Lydia! Oh goodness gracious, I've been worried about you ever since out walked out five years ago!"

"I'm fine....I met a couple of hunter friends....But something happened and they kicked me out. Can I move back in with you?"

"Honey, you know you're welcome in this house anytime."

"Thanks..I'll see you in a few days, then?"

"Few days?! Where the hell are ya?"

"Lebanon, Kansas.."

"That's miles away! How are you supposed to make it in a few days? It's at LEAST a week drive!"

"I've picked up a couple of habits from the friends I mentioned earlier...one of them is driving over the speed limit.."

"WHAT?!"

"Calm down...I only do that outside of cities and/or on empty roads. I'm not stupid to do it on packed streets."

Blake sighed. "Alright, fine...but be careful, alright?"

"You know I'll try my best!"

They shared a quick laugh before Lydia said her goodbye and hung up. She put her phone back onto the nightstand. She turned over and finally went to sleep.

7 AM.....

She was woken up by her phone ringing. She grumbled as she blindly reached for it. Finally she grabbed it and answered.

"Hello...?" she sleepily says.

"Lydia, it's Blake. Listen, I've picked up a demon case that's a few cities nearby. It doesn't seem something too chaotic and it's something right up your alley. Figured you were up for it," the voice answers.

"Oh, it's fine. I'll take care of it. Not a problem.." she answered.

"Great! I'll e-mail the information to you in an hour."

"Alright, thanks. I'm gonna go get dressed and get some breakfast. Bye, Uncle Blake."

"K, bye"

She hit the 'End Call' and tossed her phone aside, and it landed on the bed. Lydia got up and grabbed somewhat clean clothes from her duffle bag and disappeared into the bathroom. First things first, she definitely needed to take a shower.

30 minutes later, Lydia came out clean and dressed. She looked down at her clothes and sighed. 'Wish I had cleaner clothes than this, though...' she thought bitterly as she stared at her simple dark grey t-shirt and black jeans. She put on her shoes and grabbed her stuff and left. She had already paid when she got here the night before so no need to pay now. She just dropped off the key at the office and drove off.

Lydia stopped by a family-owned diner. She walked up to the counter and sat down on one of the counter chairs. A waitress came up to her.

"What would you like, ma'am?" she asked.

"Coffee, and some pancakes, please..." Lydia answered. With a smile, the waitress nodded and gave the order of pancakes to the chef and went to pour some coffee. A minute later, she came back with a cup full of coffee, but she seemed a bit worried. Lydia blinked at her, confused.

"Uhm...ma'am? Someone asked me to give this to you before he left.." she said, sliding a piece of paper towards her along with her cup of coffee and left to take some more orders.

Cautious, she opened up the folded paper and read what was written.

'Told you I'd see you sometime, sweetheart...though it is a bit fast, don't cha think so???? ~Guess Who ;)'

Lydia mentally facepalmed as she sighed. Of course. Of course it'd be him. Hopefully, he wasn't the demon that her uncle was talking about. Then again, Blake did say a few cities. And last she checked, Lebanon is not a few cities nearby Lebanon.....unless there's two Lebanon cities....She shook her head. She pulled out her cellphone. She figured she could ask Blake to look into this guy.

'Hey, uncle Blake. So, uh, quick favor to ask of you. Don't ask why, but could you look into a demon named Chaos? It'd mean a lot, thanks!'

'Uhm.....it's not often that you're asking that...in fact this is the first time you're interested into something like this....But sure, I guess I can. TTYL.'

She slipped her phone back into her pocket. Just in time too, as a plate of fresh and hot pancakes were placed in front of her.

"Do you have any strawberry syrup?" Lydia asked. The waitress nodded, with a slight giggle.

"I always keep that stocked up for when I'm on my break. I always love pancakes with strawberry syrup. It's not often that customers ask for it though," she said as she handed Lydia the strawberry syrup.

"Because they don't know what they're missing. Strawberry syrup's the BEST!" she stated.

The girl laughed. "Name's Anna."

"Nice name. Mine is Lydia," she said.

"Ooooh you're one of the famous hunters!" she whisper-shouted. Lydia nearly choked on her pancakes.

"Don't worry, me and my family used to be full-time hunters, but lately it's only been side jobs."

"Neat. How long were you hunting before the side jobs?"

"Me? Only 7 years....my dad and mom were hunters for 40 years.."

"Wow.....I've been hunting since I was 8..." Lydia said.

"Damn, it must suck having your childhood ripped from you.."

Lydia shook her head. "I didn't mind it so much."

Anna laughed. "Not everyday I hear that."

"Heh, yeah. Well, I'd best get going. I've got a hunt a few towns down. Cya sometime, yeah?"

"Heck yeah. Stay safe, Lydia" Anna waved as Lydia left, leaving enough money to pay for the coffee and pancakes, along with a 5 dollar tip.

A Week Later...

Lydia had arrived at the warehouse that was a hideout for the demons. There was apparently two of them, and surprisingly, it took her longer than expected to track them down. She, sadly, couldn't exorcise them. She hated when she was forced to kill demons along with the innocent human person. Though, however, she had this unsettling feeling that kept bugging the back of her mind, but she just pushed it aside, wanting to get this hunt done and over with.

Sadly, it was a mistake to push that feeling aside.

A BIG mistake.

She wished she could go back in time and call for backup.

But she couldn't.

And here she was, after about two hours of fighting for her life. There was apparently more demons that she had thought. There were 30, and she only took down 15. The phone in her pocket buzzed, but she couldn't answer it right now. It kept buzzing, signalling it was a phone call, rather than a text.

Then, all of a sudden, there was a loud BOOM outside, as if a storm decided out of nowhere to start. But it scared the demons she was fighting. They looked around, as if they were scared of whatever caused that sound. Lydia looked around, cursing herself for getting herself stuck in a corner. She collapsed to the floor, her knees had given out on her.

'Well, this is it. I guess I'm dying...sorry Uncle Blake...for breaking the promise of staying safe...' Lydia thought as she closed her eyes tight, waiting for the end, as one bold demon went for the kill. She heard a strangled scream, and she guessed it was herself.

Wait....

Was it?

Why is she still alive?

Curious, and still a little scared, Lydia slowly opened her dark grey eyes. What she saw surprised her more than the loud boom outside. Standing there, in front of the body of the demon-possessed person who just about killed her, was Chaos, or Jack. Lydia looked around and saw the other demons staring wide-eyed and panicked at him. After Jack/Chaos did a quick check-up on Lydia, who did not look well, he turned around, his hands clenched into fists. Half of the remaining demons cowered when he did. With one wave of his hand, they all dropped dead. Lydia swallowed hard. 'Who has the power to do that??' she thought.

"LYDIA!" came a voice from the doorway. Startled, said girl turned to see her uncle Blake standing there, panicked. "Dammit, Lyd," he said, using the old nickname he used to call her when she was a child. "You scared the hell out of me when you didn't answer the phone. I thought you were dead!"

"I-I'm sorry," Lydia stuttered. She was hurting, big time. The adrenaline was actually wearing off fast, and she was so scared that she was going to die. If it hadn't been for Chaos...she turned when she felt the demon kneel down and gently picked her up.

"Ya were lucky I found ya in time..." he said, softly. He seemed more calm now.

"H-How..." she trailed off, looking back over his shoulder at the bodies.

"First, we'll fix ya up, sweetheart. I'll explain everything in the mornin'" he told her. Blake walked beside them.

"W-What about the truck," she said, as she noticed Chaos was carrying her to her uncle's car.

"....you were nearly killed in a pack of demons, and yet you worry over your truck we could get in the morning?" her uncle said, staring at her in shock. She just glared at him.

"Yes."

With that, Chaos let out a huff of laughter. Lydia looked up at him. His eyes were back to their normal dark blue, so she figured she was okay to call him Jack now.

"Alright, alright, I'll take you to your truck, but I'm driving. There's no way you're driving," he said, turning to go to the truck. Lydia nodded, she didn't argue. She was already falling asleep. The last thing she remembered before falling into a peaceful slumber was being settled into a warm leather seat with a leg as a pillow for her head. She weakly turned to her side so the back of her head was against Jack's stomach and she was facing the front. Lydia also remembers muttering a simple 'Thank You' to him before falling asleep.
