Marie-Isabelle Winchester stood outside of the black impala refusing to get inside. She was supposed to go stay with a family friend in Virginia. Marie hated leaving her father's side since her mother passed. So she stood outside the car with her arms crossed. Her father Dean finished putting her bags in the trunk when he noticed how upset she was.

" Mari, is not going to be forever," he plead.

" That doesn't mean I want to go," she walked over to him and slammed the hood of the trunk down, " Plus, you promised you wouldn't leave me after mom passed away."

Dean turned to face her, " Don't pull that card. I'm not abandoning you, Mari, but right now you going to stay with Ric, is for the best."

" Do I get a say in this?'' she asked angrily.

" You can say whatever you want doesn't mean it's gonna help you any," He walked over to his side of the car and got in the driver's seat. Marie huffed and got in the passenger seat. She sat there silently as her dad turned the radio on. He pulled out and drove down the highway with Black Sabbath blaring from the speakers. The drive was long given that they were in Kansas and were going to Virginia. While her dad was driving she was forced to call Ric and tell him they were on their way.

" Hey Ric," she said into her phone.

" Mari?"

" Yes, Ricky."

" Everything okay?" concern clear in his voice.

She sighed, " Yeah. Everything is fine," she glared at her Dad before continuing, " I just wanted to know if it's okay if a stay with you for awhile?"

" Mari, is.. is your Dad with you?" he asked wondering what was going on.

" Yeah, he's right next to me."

" okay good. Would you please put him on the phone,'' he said hoping to talk to his friend.

Marie pulled the phone away from her ear so she could speak with her father, " Daddy, he wants to talk to you," Ric heard her distant voice say.

" Then give me the phone," Dean said trying to keep his eye on the road. She handed the phone to him and crossed her arms over her chest, " What's up Ric?'' Still confused as to why the older man wanted to talk to him.

" What hell is she talking about? I know I said she could stay anytime she wanted but I just got here."

Dean was silent for a minute not wanting to what happened in front of Mari, "Sam is gone Ric," he said noticing his daughter had fell asleep while he was driving, " And I don't know how that is going to affect her. I was hoping that her staying with you would give her some stability."

Ric sighed on the other end, " I help however I can man. But I'm not sure Mystic Falls is a place a soon retired hunter should be."

" But you're still a hunter meaning that if something happens don't tell her and handle it," he explained to the other hunter.

" I'm gonna guess and say you're already on your way here," he said chuckling.

" See, now you're understanding. I get close to somewhere then I call my friends if need be," Dean joked back.

" I guess I'll start making some coffee. Just so you know if what you said is true then she might have PTSD."

He sighed hoping that wasn't the case, " If that's the case then call me. With everything that's happened though it wouldn't surprise me. Her mom being gone, then my Dad, and Sam. It honestly wouldn't surprise me."

" I'll look out for her, Dean. And I have friends who will look out for her. She'll be safe."

" thanks Ric. We'll be there in a few hours. Don't have to much fun."

Once he hung up the phone he lightly places in Mari's lap. He turned his music down and continued to drive. When she finally woke up she looked out the window right as they passed the Welcome to Mystic Falls sign. She sighed and thought, welcome to my own personal Hell.
