Lily and the Winchester brothers had figured out that someone else had come into the forest before them, and the bright light from all the Tei-Pai-Wankas had been proof that who ever they were, the had been captured. The three hunters got to the Pukwudgie's cave as quick as the could, nearly getting captured by all the Tei-Pai-Wankas surrounding the cave themselves. They busted into the cave, guns with iron bullets and shot guns with rock salt in hand, only to find a red head with long hair and green eyes, she was a little roughed up but for the most part fine, surrounded by two dead Pukwudgies, she looked a little dazed. The red head in front of them said, "You three," she sighed, "have a lot of explaining to do." Lily and the Winchester brothers were all shocked, was the girl in front of them a hunter? No, she didn't even a gun, which any hunter in their right mind would definitely have. If she had just happened to get caught in the cross fire them how come she had a weapon that could take down Pukwudgies, was it just a coincidence, no, who brings a cast iron baseball bat to a forest as self defense? It was Lily who was snapped out of her thoughts first, "Um..." she began, "how did this happen?" The stranger sighed,
"Well, the shorter version is, I came to the forest looking to get some answers about hunters and supernatural stuff in general from the three of you, since you're all hunters, and apparently two of you have a book written about you, what's up with that? Anyway, the Tei-Pai-Wankas captured me and I ended up tied up in this cave, I escaped and then proceeded to fight these two Pukwudgies, I killed the first one with my bat and strangled the second one with my necklace," she pulls a necklace out of her pocket to show them before tucking it back into her pocket, "then all the Tei-Pai-Wankas appeared and said thanks before disappearing, probably to some sort of afterlife or something." She finished, casually as if she had just explained how here day went, although, technically she did. Dean just muttered, "Damn." While Lily muttered to herself, "We got a badass over here." With an impressed look on her face. Sam was the only one who spoke out loud,
"Wait, why did you want answers from us, and how did you know we're hunters?"
"Well, I was sitting nearby your table at the diner this morning, I heard what you three were talking about and it had confirmed my long held belief that monsters are in fact real. I then went home and did some research about the topic and discovered a few things about hunting, and pretty much, after experiencing that," she points to one of the dead Pukwudgies, "I think I might even try to become a hunter."
"What," started Sam, "this is a dangerous life that we live, no way." Firmly stated Sam.
"Well... if you don't I could just search the Internet, but... if I get misinformed about a monster and die, the tragic death of Azure who was mauled by a werewolf or something will be on your hands, because you three refused to give me information." If there was one thing Azure was good at, it was out smarting people, they had a feeling that she actually was willing to turn to the Internet, and if she was misinformed, it could cost her her life. Which is how Sam, Dean, and Lily ended up with Toad's Knot AND an extra person in the Impala on their way to the next destination, North Dakota, to get the final ingredient; Ustrella wood.
