*O*O*

Darkness.

He blinked again. His eyes were definitely open but that's all he could see. No sun, no moon, no stars. Just black. He heard a familiar husky voice call his name and he moved his hand up to his eyes.

"Good, you're awake," the voice said.

Dean rolled over onto his knees and pushed himself to his feet. He felt sore and his back ached. "Cas? What's going on? Where are we?" he looked around in wonder.

"You don't you remember?" Cas narrowed his eyes and cocked his head. Dean noticed the worry in his friend's eyes when he began shaking his head. Then he heard it. That familiar noise of monster's howling and he remembered. He was trapped in Purgatory.

"How long have we been here?" his voice crackled as the memories began to flash back. He rubbed his head as it began to ache slightly.

"Three earth weeks," the fallen angel replied looking around at the eyes that were beginning to appear.

Dean shook his head in shock. He couldn't go through this again. He remembered the scratches, the burns, the breaks, the fear, the screams and pain. And worst of all, it was on a repetitive loop. When the hurting eventually ended, he would wake up on the ground again with little memory of the first.

"I can't keep doing this, Cas," he said tiredly. The howls were multiplying and growing closer. "You have to get me out of here."

"Believe me, I'm trying," his friend said before disappearing.

Dean turned. They were all around him now ready to begin again. But this time there was a new arrival. A pair of yellow eyes.
