Which she was -- kind of. Nate and Luke right before Christmas were like two six year-olds hopped up on a ridiculous amount of cotton candy, so naturally they weren't getting to sleep anytime soon. That plus the smell of cinnamon and other good smelling foods wafting from the kitchen made her feel lazy, but kept her up enough so that she was looking for a bite.

The place where her family had decided to convene in for Christmas wasn't far from where the old house used to be in Avon, but much more private and out of the way. In fact, it was practically underground, which gave the living room more of an earthy feel from where it was located right next to the kitchen, and was just a warm place to be. Nate and Luke were plopped on the couch with Anna stretched across their laps, lingering somewhere between sleep and awake, with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on the television as Anna's phone started to ring ( ... )

"Did I wake you?" Ben's voice was hushed to keep anyone who might be at the door from listening in. It would also be obvious to her that something was wrong from how his voice was a bit shaky like he had just been crying.

Which he had. Big time.

But in Ben fashion, he was trying not to sound off. Trying to sound like nothing was wrong, even if all his shields were crashing around him.

"No," she said, sitting up slightly. "No, I'm just tired -- I've been up for a while. Nate and Luke tend to pull all-nighters on Christmas Eve." She was worried about how he sounded -- someone calling her sounding like that was never a good sign -- but she didn't know what worse could happen, considering that Ben had already lost both his parents this year.

Unless Sam was dead. Or Alec, maybe. Anna wasn't sure, but she could start to feel her stomach tightening into a panicked knot.

"Is everything okay?"

"I don't know." Which was true.

"Dean's back. Alive."
