Under a blood red sky

Mary had found and rescued her mother, but she was still stuck in the past with no sign of Ellen. Having her parents and her uncle around should have made her feel less alone, but somehow it just made the loneliness that much worse to know her mother was so close and not be able to seek out the comfort of her mom's arms. Or having her dad at her side while she went hunting. Or even having the listening ear of her Uncle Sam. Instead, she was simply trying to figure out how to navigate her relationships with the people she'd cared about most back home.

It was worse not knowing how long she'd be stuck here or even having some sort of lead on Ellen. Right now they had a whole lot of nothing and Mary was getting frustrated and restless.

She'd taken a room at the Phoenix, of course. She was closer to her parents and it was just the type of place that she was used to for when she was hunting.

She was currently at a loss for what else to do, which meant getting ice to go with the bottle of Jack that she had back in her room.
