Chapter 1 – Premonition

"We can stop him; we both can if we do it together." A young woman said who is standing next to Dean with a bow in her hand ready to looked at her with determination, knowing she is right and reluctantly agree because together they are stronger. Dean stands tall, His side bleeding, ankle sprang, possibly a cracked or broken rib, his shoulder dislocated, arm throbs painfully, and definite concussion, but his adrenalin masks all that pain and stands beside her ready to fight. With a sword in his hand, rise high above his head and takes his stance against this demon that stands before them known as the Demon Dragon Gremial.

Dean Dashes forward forgetting the pain throughout his body. With the sword in hand and leaps up to gremial and strikes at the demon with all his might and the woman that stands with Dean ready her bow with an arrow and fires into the heart of the demon. Gremial comes crashing down, but not before he unleashes one final blast at them, he aims for the girl. Dean saw this and he rushes back to save her, the woman saw what is happening and the blast is coming in fast, she puts her hands up to guard herself from the attack. Dean jumps in front of her and took the blast instead. When the woman didn't feel anything she put her hands down and the first thing she saw was Dean before he falls to the floor, the woman catches him and gently put him lay him down, what she saw made her sick. The blow that he took left a nasty burn on his stomach and is spreading like a virus and disintegrating him turning into ashes before her eyes.

Tears stains her cheeks as she watches the horror unfold, she checks for a pulse, and smiles when she found one, not a strong one liked she hoped. After a minute Dean arouses slowly and gasps in pain. She smiles a sad smile knowing that he is alive, but not for long. Knowing that breaks her heart further. She moves and sits placing his head on her lap and into her arms, holding him close, more tears breaks through and onto his cheeks, she refuses to wipe them away, knowing more will just come. Dean looks up slowly when he felt wetness on his own cheek, he slowly moves his arm up to her faces and cups her chin in his hand and swipes away the tears that falls with his thumb, and smiles a little.

"No more tears." Dean told her. She laughed a little.

"I can't help it, they fall down involuntary." The woman said, and then she looked away from his face and turned to look at his stomach and saw the burn is spreading all over and there is no stopping it.

"we have to." She says trying to maneuver him to stand, he gasp in pain when she is trying to get him to stand.

"Alexis." Dean said quietly, but she didn't hear him and still trying to get him to stand.

Alexis looks back at his stomach and she saw that the burn mark has moved to his left leg and every time she tries to get him to stand the burn spreads faster, but she has to keep trying.

"Alexis… Alexis!" Dean said the second time louder so she could hear him.

She stopped what she is doing and looks back, tears in her eyes making everything blurry, but she finally got them cleared and saw that Dean had his eyes close in pain and he is breathing heavy.

"Stop i-it's too late f-f-for me." Dean said stuttering a bit.

Knowing that he is right, she slowly lays him back down on her lap and into to her arms.

"I just can't give up, maybe I will get someone, they will help I have no doubt about that, you saved us all from the darkness, and from the dragon Gremial, I just can't let you die." Alexis Said, she then soon went to get up and to find some help. Dean lifts his hand to her arm and grabbed it tightly with surprising strength.

don't want to be alone, I can feel it spreading all just don't want to be alone, I know that I'm done for, so please." Dean said trying to convince her that is too late. Alexis saw the pleading look in his eyes, so went back to position.

and what about your brother? He will be all alone." Alexis question Dean trying to convince him. Deans own tears surfaces and trails down his cheeks making them all wet.

"Tell Sam that I am sorry, and if he does get to our world tell him to live that apple pie life that he always wanted, if there is no way back then can you watch him for me." Dean replies back heartbroken knowing that he will leaving his brother all alone in the world.

"You can't just give up… W-w-we need you here, I-I-I need you please." Alexis said getting desperate, with more tears filling her eyes.

"Don't cry Lexi, I don't like it when you cry, it breaks my heart, I-I love you." Dean said.

"I-I love you too, and I don't like it when you cry also." Alexis replies back wiping the tears from his eyes, she leans down moving her teal hair away from her face and kisses him passionately, Dean moves his head up and kisses back moving his hand to her head and deepening the kiss, they broke away slowly staring intently at each other's eyes before looking away.

It is only a matter of time before Dean fades away; the burn now spreads down to both his feet and now his arms. It is slow going and painful making it a slow agonizing death. Alexis looks at the burns, and turns to look at him sadly.

"I don't want you to go." Alexis whispers.

"I know, but you don't have a choice, I am starting to loose feeling in my legs. How are my legs? Dean said. Alexis looks down and pulls his pant leg up what she saw made her sick. His legs are grey and when she when to touch it a chunk tore off in her hand then turns to ash. Alexis tearing up again, knowing now it is too late.

"I-I-I am sorry." Alexis said too him.

"No worries, I didn't feel anything." Dean said trying to lighten the mood, but failing miserably.

"It's just not fair, why did you do that? Why?" Alexis said as she cries out in frustration.

"I didn't want the one I love in this position." Dean said.

"what am I to tell the people that has help us along the way, the ones that has help stop the evil from spreading, I already lost my parents, we lost some good comrades and good friends that was with till the end, a-and I don't think I can handle anymore loss." Alexis looked away not hiding her tears any longer.

"You are a smart girl, you will think of something, plus like you said when your parents died they will always be with you, they will be in your heart always. That they are never forgotten, but are with you in spirit, that is what you told your siblings when they were sad. I am always with you in your heart." Dean said as he tries to lifts his arm to her heart, but sadly gives up because it's no use; he has no feeling in his arms now.

"Yeah you are, I guess you over heard that, huh?" Alexis said with a slight smile.

"Yeah, you are a good older sister trying to comfort your younger siblings. I just couldn't stop overhearing." Dean said remembering that day.

"You heard all that." Alexis blushed.

"Yeah, I heard you inspire people, seeing the good in people, and you persuaded some of the enemy to come to our side, overall you are a good person, and I am glad to know you, so I will know you will do just fine without me." Dean said, and Alexis blushed more, and looks away.

When she looks back, Alexis saw more than half his body turn to ash from the burn, Dean is trying to draw in every breath he takes and she knows it's only a matter of minutes till he leaves this world, leaving all who he loves behind. She bends down and gives him a final kiss, but when she lifts her head, he smiles and closes his eyes never to awake again, his soul returns to the heavens. Dean's body is now grey and crumbling, now the burns are moving up his neck. She places a quick kiss on his cheek before getting up from her position. Alexis slow lays his head down gently to the ground. A sob escapes from her mouth and fell back to the ground in anguish. Dean now is all grey and crumbling. Alexis wipes away her tears and be strong for Dean, she grabs his sword in one hand and in the other she picks up her bow, and Alexis slowly got up making her way to the well-lit door behind them. She slowly makes her way to the exit dragging the sword across the floor. When she makes it there, Alexis stops and turns her head to the prone figure lying on the ground that is now completely burn up and she saw him crumble to ground and is nothing but ash.

"Sleep well my love." Alexis says her final words before she turns her head back to the door; the tears are now dry on her face and starts walking out of the bright door and to the outside world where many of her friends and comrades are waiting patiently for their return. She can feel the sun on her face, wind through her hair, green grass at her feet. Alexis makes her way back to the people that has help with the victory that is here today and to tell the tale of a hero that has save them all from the darkness and evil that has claim the lands once more.
