"I MUST GO FORTH ALONE
WITHOUT KNOWING HOW."
~ Joan of Arc
Sam had left his brother, and the life of hunting, once again in a means to stop himself from causing anymore damage. He knows he’s a threat now—instead of being a savior—and his only chance of keeping himself from his destructive destiny is to run away. Or so he hopes. Sam doesn’t know what he’ll do, but he thinks he doesn’t have another alternative.

Separated from Dean and now earning a living by working at a bar, Sam is haunted by the spirit of his first love, Jessica. Guilt and regret cloud his feelings and at first he thinks she’s nothing more than a dream caused by his disturbed conscious, but even spirits can visit people in dreams, Sam knows this all too well. Once his dearly departed ends up being nothing more than a con from Lucifer himself, Sam realizes he’s most vulnerable when he’s alone.

No matter how hard Sam tries, avoidance isn’t the answer—regardless if it was himself he needed to get away from—He knows his only choice is to stay with his brother, keep denying Lucifer’s temptation, and destroy the angel no matter the outcome of their already damaged lives. This was his only way of redemption.

"PEOPLE THINK WE LEAD LIVES OF GLAMOR AND ROMANCE
BUT WE'RE REALLY LONELY. TERRIBLY LONELY."
~ Singing in the Rain
When some people find out that what we do as hunters doesn't include sporting for wild game, they want in on the action; they think it’s a life of thrills, kills, and chills, and it excites them. But what they don't know is that most of us don't have a family, we don't have friends, and we're always traveling from one place to another because we have no one to come home to.

I've lost both my mother and father because of the life I lead. I've lost loved ones because of some demon's revenge scheme. I've even lost my own life, and if it weren't for my selfless brother, I'd still be dead. But In exchange, he lost his own life. We've been playing a game on the merry go round because we're the only two left in our family. I know that without my brother I'd spiral out of control, hell, I did spiral out of control, and because I was too deep into what I was doing, Dean's resurrection didn't save me from my reckless behavior.

Most of us started this lifestyle after we had nothing else to lose. Bobby lost his wife, Dad lost mom, I lost Jessica. Despite that I was raised a hunter, I didn't want any part of it. Dean, like me, was raised into this lifestyle since he was a child, and the same goes for Jo. But we've all lost family and friends; our lives aren't anything people should want. We're just out there protecting people so, unlike us, they can come home and be welcomed and loved by a family they still have.
