There is a part of Anna that has known for more than centuries how to respond to threats.

(It is the same part of Anna that would not apply that word to Castiel.)

Unfortunately, that part of Anna is fading from her consciousness, a little more every day, in the half-remembered way a dream fades in the morning. And what is left is filtered through the limitations of a human mind.

A very young human mind.

A very young and now very scared human mind.

Anna pulls her blankets up over her head, clutches her teddy bear and waits for the intruder to go away.
