Chapter 1

"I Was so Alone"

- It's ok Dean… It´s gonna be ok. I got him. – said Sam to his brother.

Dean just keeps staring at him without saying anything. He could see his young brother fighting a battle inside of himself. Sam will not be able to control Lucifer for much longer and the devil will soon gain control over Sam's body again. How did they put themselves in that situation? Why did he agree with his brother's crazy plan to stop the apocalypse?

With a lot of difficulty, Sam searched in his pocket and there they were: the rings of The Four Horsemen. He throws them to the cemetery's ground and recites the incantation. The earth began to shake as it appears a hole that leads straight to hell. It was like a black hole because it was absorbing everything that wasn't heavy enough. This was Lucifer's cage. Once Satan was in, he couldn't get out anymore.

Sam looked at the highway that lead straight to the pit. He knew this was his last opportunity to save the world. "Luci" was inside his body so the only thing he had to do was jump… finally meeting his death or even worse, the tortures of hell. He didn't want to die but it was because of him that Lucifer has been set free. He started it therefore he has to finish it, one life for the safety of the other 7 billion.

He looked at his brother one last time. Dean was still near his 1967 Chevy Impala in a very bad shape due to Lucifer's punches. They kept looking at each other. No words were needed since the way they keep looking in each other's yes said everything: « I love you brother, goodbye. ». At that moment Michael, the archangel, appeared and tried to take Sam away from the hole. Not because he didn't want Sam to die, but because he wanted to fight Lucifer (even if it destroys the world along with many «hairless monkeys»). However Sam grabbed the archangel's arm and jump into prediction.

Dean looked terrify as he sees his brother disappear.

- No! Sammy! – He screamed, waking up in the backseat of his car.

Unfortunately it wasn´t just a nightmare, that situation happened just the day before.

Every part of him wants to die or find a way to bring Sam back. But he isn't going to do either. He had made a promise, Sam's dying wish…

- You have to promise not try to bring me back. – Sam said meeting Dean's disbelieving look.

- What? – He asks. Was Sam nuts? He couldn't promise that.

- I´m sorry Dean but once the gate is closed you can´t open it again, it's too risky! – Sam warned.

- So what am I supposed to do hah? - He yelled.

- You go find Lisa. You pray to God she is dumb enough to take you and… and you have barbecues, and go to football games… You go live some normal apple pie life Dean. Promise me!

The empty and dark road in which Dean was driving through was the perfect metaphor for his current situation. One, two, three hours passed before Dean arrives at Lisa's house. Last time he saw her, she was still single and raising her son Ben all by herself. He got out of the car and approached Lisa's front door. The lights were on so she was definitely at home. He knocked. A few seconds later, a woman with long dark brown hair opened the door. She looked somehow relieved to see the hunter.

- Hey Lis. – he said.

- Thank God. Are you alright? – she asks.

- Hum… yeah. – he lied. – If it's not too late, I think I would like that beer.

She smiled. She was still in love with him even after all this time.

- It's never too late. – she said giving him a hug.

Dean pressed his eyes, trying not to cry. He needed to be strong. Lisa could feel that something had happened. The way Dean was… and where was his brother? She just saw him once, the taller, good looking guy. He and Dean were inseparable so it definitely was about him. After the «chick» moment they entered in the house.

Ben was very pleased to see Dean, he always liked him. Dean loved that kid too he was like a son to him.

Later that night, Dean was sitting at the table, drinking a scotch and waiting for the dinner that Lisa insisted to cook. He was starting a new and normal life with the girl he loved and an adorable kid but he couldn't be happy. Every time he closed his eyes, he imagined Sam trapped in hell, like he once was, screaming his name!

- Are you ok?

- Yeah, I´m good. – he answered avoiding direct eye contact.

Saying this, they started to eat, the first home meal that Dean had in years.

Outside the house while Dean was having dinner with is new family, one of the streetlights started flickering until it went out. In that exact moment, a guy appeared in the middle of the front garden. He was tall, had long brown hair and hazel eyes. His expression was indecipherable. Anyone who looks to him right now could see angst, fear, sadness, a bit of anger or was it relief? No one could tell.

The man was observing the family through the window. He didn't know what to do. So much doubt, so many questions… Should he knock on the door and show himself or just let them live a normal life?

- What should I do God? – Sam asked the heavens.
