Alrighty now the real chapters start
Enjoy
Onwards
Sam and Caleb found themselves standing in the middle of a bridge surrounded by a thick fog. The air
was still and sound was absent they were completly alone. There was no colors in the void, everthing was
Gray, they could only see a few feet aound them. Caleb looked down to see gray cobblestones under his
feet. Looking them both over Caleb saw they were not dressed in the same thing they were when Josh
cast the spell. Gone was the dirty black t-shirt and jeans and in it place he was wearing dark cords and a
very comfortable white polo shirt. Sam was no longer dressed in his 3 layers of shirts but a warm looking
brown sweater and matching dress pants but the both still had their boots.
"Okay well this isn't so bad, you said Deans head was scary im not seeing it and by the way that shirt
makes you look old."
Ya well at least im not the one who resembles a retriever, also were not in his head yet runt as you can
see were on a bridge, a bridge I made that will take us into his head."
"Thats not fair! how come your in control? we should be standing in a library not on a bridge. I am a
stronger physic then you and I have more experence with dreamroot, which means I can control what
happens."
"What are you 5? Your right about the dream root but Dean is not asleep or dreaming. We are not going
on a trip into his sub-concious, we are entering his fully active mind and to answer your question brat ive
been in Deuce's noggin before, so your just gonna have to follow my lead. Now come on we have to go
save your big brother."
As they walked across Caleb studied the bridge. It was wonderfully constructed no support beams to be
seen. The hand rales and cobblestone walkway gave it the feel of a small old country river bridge. In the
distance a door appeared out of the fog with someone standing in front of it. Caleb broke into a run
recognizing that shadow anywhere.
"Dean, were coming just stay there!"
At Caleb's yell Sam raced to follow. His training was yelling at him that this was too easy they
Winchesters after all nothing was ever easy. His long legs gaining ground until they were running side by
side, they both arrived at the end of the bridge to see Dean just standing there waiting for them. He
looked older then Sam remembered. He was dressed from head to toe in white cotton, there was no smirk
or smile just percing emerald eyes that had yet to blink.
"Deuce, man am i glad we found you. Just follow us back over the bridge and everyone will wake up. you
had us so worred next time let Josh take the hit."
"No."
That one word wiped the smile off Caleb's face and confirmed Sam's feeling this was not his brother but
Sam found himself asking anyway even though he knew better.
"What do you mean no? Dee we came to get you out."
Not Dean sounded emotionless and monotone that was so wrong from the normal animated voice of his
big brother.
"Im sorry I can't go with you. Caleb, Sam, im not Dean, well I am but im not. You see I am an avatar
created to interact with you, your Dean is hiding at the center of his mind but I am to send you a message
and get you to turn away and if I fail I have to give you warnings as well. Now please you should not be
here you must awaken and leave Dean to his fate."
That was not what the knight wanted to hear he knew Dean was self sacrificing but this was too much.
"This is not fate! Its a frigging spell. Now give us the message and warning so we can get on with saving
him, ill be dammed if im gonna just leave him and as his avatar or whatever the hell you are should know
that?"
Not dean tilted his head in a very Cas like gesture and looked Caleb right in the eyes.
"I do know that, I also know what waits beyond that door and how much Dean does not want you to see it.
He is a very private man and entering his unguarded mind is very violating experence he may never
forgive you for doing so. Please if you care about his rights you will leave this place and never return."
"He is my brother and ill take full responceabilty for what we learn but we are going in, at least he will be
alive and awake to hate me. There is nothing that would ever effect how we feel about him now let us
pass,"
Not Dean sighed
"Alright but please heed my warning and no matter what you learn think no differently of him. Abandon
hope all ye who enter here beyond this door are 5 tests you must journey through to find who you seek. If
and when you find him he must face, confront and defeat the 5 tests before you can leave. You will see
the adversary that must be defeated, you will see the failures that haunt the soul. You will face the mirror
of the dammed and how it came to be, you will see and understand the hidden pain that destroys. The last
test you will face is pain. I do not envy what you both are about to see, so i ask one final time consider
turning back. If not then know that on your journey you must keep your eyes down and ears closed the
tests are not for you to witnesses if you look you will be forced to see.
"Wow runt, who knew Deauce was an renaissance fan? by the way I am so Virgil being the brooding
artist and ladies man, not to mention im the only one between us who can navagate Deuce's mind so just
consider me your guild, guess that makes you Dante and Deuce Beatrice."
"The comparison is fitting but Dean is so gonna kick your ass for calling him a girl. If I am Dante then
this is my quest your just tagging along."
Not Dean decided it was time to interupt the bickering "So knowing what you are about to face do you
still wish to continue?"
"Yes!"
"Very well but remember the warning keep your eyes to the ground and do not react to what you hear,
just walk throught until you reach another bridge and keep doing so till you reach your gole. I wish
you luck your going to need it, once you enter that door there is no going back."
"Will do now can we go threw the door?"
Not Dean nodded and for the first time closed his eyes and vanished like he was never there leaving them
standing in front of a large glowing blue door at the base of a bridge surround by the heavy fog.
"Well here we go Dante after you."
"Oh no after is Dante's guild after all."
"Ahh Sammy are you scared? I could dream up woobie for you, or draw you a dragon."
"Shut up balec, im not scared its just.."
Seeing the change from joking to serious Caleb had to reassure Sam of their path.
"I get it Sammy, I do im not scared but i feel wrong doing this. I know we are trying to save him but
ravaging his mind to do so...its wrong on so many levels. But its Dean and if he was in our shoes he
would stop at nothing to save us including this, so were doing this we can feel guilty when he is safe."
"Ya but he would find a way to keep our soul crushing secrets private."
"He wouldn't need to, for being the one without abilities he knows everything about both of us which in
its self is kinda creepy but Sam, knowing our deep dark like he does, it still does not change how he feels
about us and if he can do that so can we."
Caleb reached the glowing blue doorknob and turned it until he heard a click
"Are you with me Sammy? Remember eyes down, ears closed lets go." and togther they steped through
the door.
Meanwhile Macland and Joshua watched as Sam and Caleb both went limp in their chairs like they were
puppets who had their strings cut. Mac quickly checked for a pulse on both boys and let out a releaved
sigh when he found them.
"Joshua help me move them into a more comfortable posistion please, we don't know how long they are
going to be like this."
"Alright Mac but be careful the symbol is no longer needed but they have to keep their hands joined."
The doctor and public relations expert carefuly moved the two bodies into a relaxed recline.
"Ill take first watch Mac, you should go get some sleep ill wake you in six hours or if something
changes."
"Joshua I appreacate your concern but im fine, I did not expect you to be so attentive of Caleb."
"I'm not to reaves but my order came from the knight and I will not fail him for a second time, now please
Macland get some rest, one of us should."
"Alright ill go but only if you take all of their vitals every hour and record them for me."
"I will, goodnight Mac don't forget to call mother to say goodnight, tell her I send my love."
"I will son goodnight." Mac left the room and closed the door.
Joshua was stunned. Mac and his mother had only been marred for a short time. It has been a long time
since he had a father figure in his life, hearing someone call him son was unsetteling and yet wonderful at
the same time.
"Night dad" Joshua whispered and turned to watch over the only real friends he ever had
I know sappy ending but meh this is gonna be a depressing story so it fits
