PROLOGUE – Residues of Salvation
He was happy.
Which was why he was so suspicious about it.
Happiness, or anything that even remotely looked like it, was a tricky, slippery son of a bitch. The Winchester didn't do 'happy'.
Though he was.
Dean was no longer a demon. The woman he loved had brought him back. His brother had been given back the woman he loved and had been taken away from him. Things were quiet; and too good to be true. And when things seem too good to be true, they usually are. He knew this much.
But he was happy, he thought as grey smoke surrounded him. Things were as good as they could get, considering the life they were leading, he thought as the smoke flooded his lungs and choked him from inside. Emma was there to stay, he thought as the smoke pulled him even further away from her.
He knew he was dreaming. It was always the same dream. He was in an open fielding and his eyes were searching for someone, his arms reaching for a body that wasn't there. But there was no one in the thick, ashen fog. Smoke. Always smoke. Always alone in the grey. Always waking up drenched in cold sweat and reaching for the other side of the bed, seeking the reassurance of Emma's small silhouette lying next to him.
But for now, he couldn't tell the different.
Always smoke.
Always alone in the grey.
Always darkness.
Dean Winchester was saved. But there's only so much salvation can do. Salvation doesn't grant you sanity. And sometimes, salvation doesn't always mean happy ending.
PLEASE READ!
Okay, guys, I just wanted to set things straight from the very beginning. This story is my take on how things are going in season 11 of the show. So, basically, whatever Emma's grace did in My Better Half, it's the equivalent of Rowena's spell. She did destroy the Mark with her light, but that just broke the seal and set the Darkness free. Whatever happens next, it goes from there. I will keep clearing things up as we go. Anything else ya feel confused about, feel free to ask in a review?
Who else is excited about this?
ME,ME,ME,MEMEMEMEM
Okay, I'm calm. So. What'd ya think?
Lots of love, y'all!
xoxo
