Haha! As promised here is the next chapter! Review responses for the last 3 chappies at bottom! Another note: Danny's death occured in the Azazel crisis, Sam was still having visions. So that puts this at approximately 5 yrs after that.
So without further ado...
Chapter 3: Purgatory
Danny awoke to sulfurous fumes. Black goop bubbled everywhere, boiling in giant pits. The stuff seemed to have people in it, reaching toward the surface in vain.
He panicked, running through the forest and setting off what seemed to be a stampede of forest creatures, cracking branches and screaming resounding through the seemingly endless forest. He eventually came to a river and stooped to drink.
Danny glanced into the water and nearly screamed. His clothes were pretty much black with dried bodily fluids. He lifted his tattered shirt and looked at his stomach...
It was pure ivory, not a scratch or scar from his experience in ghost fighting. He took a harder look at his face, and was surprised at what he saw. He was still in his human form, but this was definitely not Heaven, nor was it Hell.
He heard a great TATUNK! and he whipped around. Two beastly humans stood there, decked out in black leather and smiling viciously.
One of them tipped their head back and Danny did a (beautifully manly) scream, throwing an ectoball at them. The gu- things- fell backward, the green ectoblast catching them alight and burning them into oblivion.
Of course, Danny didn't know this. He was too busy flying off.
It felt like eternity, but Danny finally found a way out of the endless forest, via a blue portal on the top of a cliff. He ended up coughing up blood when he hit the ground when he tumbled out.
He ran through the dark forest, catching his already tattered pants on the seemingly endless thorn bushes and brambles.
The once short teen, now taller than his cousin Sam, darted through the forest, eyes wild.
He ran faster and faster until he finally skidded to a halt at an old junkyard, nearly three hundred miles from where he'd first started running. He was panting hard and stumbled over to the front door.
A lady answered the door, shocking the half-wild young man. He couldn't hold himself upright anyways, and boy did those slippers look soft!
(AN: Tempted to end it here...)
Dean didn't know what to think. He'd been driving up into Bobby's because he claimed to have something that might have to do with Leviathans, when he got another call from Bobby.
"What?" Dean said groggily, tired.
"You know that cousin you said passed away, like four years back?" Bobby's voice came over the phone, staticky but understandable.
"Ya, why? Did he come back as a demon, or a ghost or something?" Dean couldn't keep the worry out of his voice. He'd been praying that his youngest cousin had gone to Heaven, after all, the kid was a hero even in Castiel's and the other angels' eyes.
The eldest living Winchester slammed his foot on the pedal when he heard what came out of the phone next.
"Nah, he's laying on my couch. I already ran all the tests on him. He's Danny all right."
Dean threw open the door and practically ran through. He took three long strides and was clutching the 19 year old and hugging him close to his chest.
He was no longer laying on the couch, instead standing beside the table grabbing a Coke. The bottle dropped to the floor and shattered, spraying the two in sticky fluid and glass.
The teen was well-built now, no longer the skinny twig of a teen and towered over his much older cousin. He remembered how the last time he'd seen him, the teen had literally been in pieces.
The teen hugged him hesitantly, and the cousins proceeded to chat up a storm before Danny dropped into a deep slumber. Sam and Dean stayed awake chatting with Bobby, small smiles on their faces.
How'd ya like it? Tried to give ya'll a little more than I did before. Should I make it into a story following the plotline of Supernatural? Give a response in the reviews! R&R!
Guest: Ya he came back. Thanks for the compliment btw!
BethyQuake: Haha, don't worry, it'll get less depressing. Still gonna keep it gory, but I'm changing genre from tragedy.
JennaUtena: Haha! Love your enthusiasm!
Candy Phantom: It's Sam Winchester. Thanks for the support!
ArneNestor: Thanks! The goal of the first chapter was to disturb people.
IWasNeverReal: Haha! Good to see someone got the pain thing.
