Hello everybody, sorry for the long wait, I've been very busy with college Jso here it is the long awaited chapter 2…

As Usha sprinted into the main hall of the bunker two things became apparent to her, firstly she heard a sloppy, crunching which sounded like someone was being mauled by a bear. Secondly, she smelt a strange smell… it almost smelt like pie. PIE! She scanned he room and spotted- what looked like a dumbfounded, confused and slightly pissed off Sam. However, what caught her attention was a scruffy, unshaven and almost unrecognisable Dean. He stood at the opposite end of the hall, munching on what looked like an apple pie. Since she had entered the room Dean had not looked up once, after about 3 minutes of silence Sam spoke, a slight tremble evident in his voice, "Dean…". Dean suddenly tensed and looked towards Sam, a blush of embarrassment built up on his rugged features. "Sam… how long have you been standing there?" he then proceeded to look down at his pie and back up again. The question lingered in the air for a full minute until Usha felt the awkwardness should not go on any longer. Usha coughed, making her presence known to both Sam and Dean. Dean smiled "Hey." He said, Usha's attempt at breaking the tension had managed to get a response as dean carried on talking to both her and Sam. "Sorry about vanishing, I was just sooo hungry, I feel like I haven't eaten in days." Usha turned to Sam, concern laced his face. "Dean don't you remember anything?" "Remember what Sammy?" Sam stood his body still rigid from shock, "Nothing? You remember nothing. You have been acting like a loose cannon baring your teeth at me and Usha all week. How can you not remember?" Dean stepped forward, his face held a worried expression. "No, Sammy you've got it all wrong. I've been perfectly fine… We've been perfectly fine. I remember Usha giving me that potion a couple of days ago and now I am as fit as a fiddle." Usha gawped, her voice shook, "Dean I gave you that potion over a week ago." The expression on Dean's face showed he was processing her words carefully. "Over… a week?" "Yes" Usha replied, obviously Dean had been shocked by this so she spoke with a more sensitive tone. Dean slouched on the nearest chair, disbelief shadowing his rugged features. "But… I remember things. You guys were with me- we had no hunts and for the first time in a while I felt… happy. We watched my Pamela Anderson Collection and ate a butt load of pie." Dean's face contorted in a form of a grimace. "Well… I guess it was too good to be true eh? When does a Winchester ever get to be happy?" Usha looked towards Sam his expression contained tones of sadness, but sparks of relief at Dean's recognition of his reality not being real- because that would save a lot of time explaining it to him. "Look, Dean I know it's hard to accept, but none of that was real… I'm sorry." Sam strolled over to his brother and embraced him in a hug, and shockingly Dean didn't brush him off.

Usha's brain started turning, Dean and Amara were connected by the mark. The mark twisted people- turned them savage. Maybe Rowena didn't trick her? Maybe the potion did work, just not in the way she was expecting. The mark was violent, fuelled by betrayal, maybe the potion exposed the mark true nature, and the savage nature it contained was the reason for Dean's behaviour. Usha recalled the last thing Rowena said to her, "Acceptance dear, is the key." Maybe Dean had to accept his feelings for Amara and the part of him that wanted to be with her for him to stop tearing himself apart. He was betraying his emotions and therefore causing the marks power to grow and takeover him.

Usha looked up, Dean and Sam appeared to be in a deep conversation, but the stifled laugh that erupted from Dean suggested otherwise. From the look of their actions Dean appeared to be explaining his dream, whilst Sam sat and listened, his body actions showed he was holding back, obviously still not convinced. Usha yelled them over, "Sam, Dean, we need to talk, I think I have a theory on Dean's missing memory!" So they strode over, the squirrel and moose together again. Usha began to explain and expand on her theory of the mark and its power being built on betrayal. Lucifer felt betrayed by God, Cain felt betrayed by Abel, and Dean felt betrayed by himself. Lucifer wanted to destroy God, Cain killed Abel and Dean was leading himself down a path of self-destruction.

Dean was sceptic at first, but understood that it was the only stable answer they had. Sam was convinced, the logic was undeniable, and Usha felt pleased that not only did Rowena not betray her, but she was finally beginning to understand the thing that had haunted her for her entire life.

_5 hours later_

Beers were drank, pies eaten, but as Sam and Usha laughed and sang, Dean watched from a distance. He could feel the savageness still raging on inside him and by accepting it, it would never go away. Usha was right, the mark was fuelled by betrayal, and it was feasting on Dean. Who hadn't betrayed him in some shape or form? No-one. The mark may leave the body, but it never leaves the soul. He would never be cured-his affliction would always remain. A wound which would never heal. He loved Sam and Usha… he would die for them. But he would do anything for Amara- even kill a God.

OOOOOOOOOOOO BOOM!

Sam: Erm… Katie WTF!

Dean: Do NOT listen to this bitch Sam, it's lies I tell you- lies!

Usha: You sure Dean?

Dean: Of cour-
