"We didn't mean to eavesdrop", Alec said. Crowley tilted his head.
"Just leave before i tell your mother Alec and as for you Donovan...ugh", Crowley walked back to his troops.
"Well, that was-" Donovan started but there was a sudden bark from behind him. Alec and Donovan turned around to see a blue collar floating there.
"Kevin?" Alec asked. Kevin asked again and walked behind them and nudged them forward.
"okay, okay we'll follow you."Donovan said. Kevin barked and took off. Donovan and Alec ran after the dog. Kevin sprinted towards Madi, he hoped Donovan and Alec would be able to help them.
"Hey, slow down a little" Alec called out. Donovan wanted the dog to speed up, get him there faster. He lifted Alec and put him on his back and run faster after the hellhound.
"hang in there buddy, who knows what's happening to Madi right now or the winchesters we need to help and get there quick" Donovan explained.
"yeah" Alec said.

"Mercy i swear to god i'm going to kill you right now"' Dean growled.
"dawe, thats cute" Mercy said. "i've got news for you Deanie boy, you're in my world right now"Mercy flicked her hand and the three of them got pressed against the wall.
"Bitch" Sam managed to spit of while being suctioned to the wall.
"DEE! SAMMY! BB!" Madi shouted as best as she could.
"it's okay mads" Dean said.
"Is it?" Mercy asked smirking. There was suddenly barking and growling from behind Mercy. She turned and groaned.
"Kevy" Madi said happily.
"Now, now Kevin" Crowley said coming up behind them.
"Crowley" Dean growled.
"hello Dean" He smiled "Bobby its great to see you again." HE said
"HEY! MERCY!" Donovan shouted and put Alec down off of his back.
"ughhh" Mercy and Crowley groaned.
"who are you" Sam asked
"this is Donovan and Alec" Mercy said annoyed. "go away if you knows what's best" Mercy said.
"what's best is this" Alec said
"14 minutes" Sam said still pressed against the wall. Donovan suddenly ran at Mercy. Donovan rammed into mercy making the three of them drop off the wall. Dean gripped his knife and ran towards Mercy. Donovan scrambled away from MErcy and went to Madi. Dean swung his knife at Mercy, but only managed to slice her upper arm
"GAHG" She shouted and she flung Dean a few feet back. Sam was on Mercy in an instant, but he was flung back as well. Bobby ran towards Crowley, but Crowley now had Madison in his arms.
"Dee!" she shouted. her eyes were filled with pure fear. Deans heart dropped. He knew that face. That was his face in hell. His fear in her small innocent eyes.
"MADISON!" Dean yelled. Kevin was barking and Sam and Bobby were going towards Mercy as Dean ran at Crowley.
"10 minutes" Sam said still counting down.
"we still have to get back to Hitlers cell" Bobby said
"thats nine minutes if you ran" Crowley said with madi still in his arms.
"you son of a-" DEan started
"bye now" Crowley interrupted as he disappeared.
"MADISON!" Dean yelled.
"see ya" MErcy said as she dodged around Sam and Bobby and grabbed Alec's shoulder and disappeared.
"NO!" DEan yelled. He whipped around to Donovan
"where did they go?" DEan growled. Kevin kept on barking.
"I don't know" Donovan said
"Dean, we have to go" Bobby said.
"I'M NOT LEAVING HER! I CAN'T ABANDON HER! not again" Dean yelled.
"DEan, i don't want to anymore than you do, but we have 8 minutes left and Crowley said it would take nine minutes to run to Hitlers cage" Sam said
"He's a demon he lies!" Dean said.
"He's not lying, Hitler is nine minutes away you have to go! I promise ill look after her! now Go!" Donovan said
"and who are you?" Dean asked.
"Dean we have to go!" Bobby said
"i'm Donovan! her half brother and a knight! now GO!" Donovan pushed Dean towards Sam and Bobby. Reluctantly ran off with them.
"Tell her I promise to come back!" DEan shouted behind him at Donovan. they sprinted as fast as they could to Hitlers cage. Sam was counting down all the way, they made it there just in time, as soon as they got there Ajay was there picking them up. just as they were transporting they heard a scream.
"DEEEEEEE" It was distant, and a pained screech
"MADIS-" but it was too late, they were already back on earth. "no" dean said "NOOO" He screamed. Sam closed his eyes tightly and held back a sob.
"BALLS" Bobby screamed and leaned against the brick alley wall with both hands.
"I'm sorry MAdison" Dean said softly as he tried his best to hold back tears. His baby, is little girl, was in hell and he failed to get her out. He was so close, so close to saving her. He had her in his arms. And he failed. He failed just like he failed every god forsaken thing he cares for. Everything. Nothing was. They were hurting her. And he couldn't do a thing to stop it. Not a single thing was safe because thats the thing, he's poison and he should've seen it before he got her. but maybe that would've been worse if she was with a normal family. He didn't know. All he knew was that he was going to get her back There was no giving up this time. He just didn't think it was possible. But he was doubting everything. Everything. Filled with doubt and horror. God, everytime he'd close his eyes he'd just see he scratched up face and her whimpering. Her small trembles. There had to be another way.

"Its been 24 hours Gabe", Cas said sitting up.
"Allright, could find your boyfriend", gabe sighed. "I'm sure they got her, well i will go too, make sure no ones screwed up", gabe sighed. "Which would not be surprising they screwed up the apocalypse". Gabrielle sat up and disappeared with Cas to where the Winchester were and Bobby Singer.
"Hello", Gabe said. He looked around and frowned.
"you screwed up", He groaned. Dean grabbed him by the collars and threw him against the wall.
"you said this would work! NO it didn't SHE"S STILL THERE BECAUSE OF GOD DAMN CROWLEY NOW TELL ME! WHAT DO WE DO NOW!", Dean growled. Gabriel sighed.
"I don't know Dean, you wanted a quick option so don't blame me that the king of Hell is stronger than you. Its hell he's a king", Gabriel rolled his eyes. "You don't think i Care do you?", Gabriel tilted his head. Dean let go of him and took a few steps back.
"Well, you see I do care, shes a child. And she's getting punished because she was born. And in which Clara had no idea. She still doesn't so tell me Dean Winchester, her life is something bigger. Shes new. And shes a shiny object and all the angels and all the demons want a piece of it. And i have been trying to Damn hard to keep her from being found out", Gabriel sighed. "I mean they gotten so close so many times"
"I'm not sorry", Dean said.
"I Know"
"But I am, Dean", Castiel stepped towards Dean. He looked at Bobby.
"I'm sorry Bobby", Cas then looked at Bobby.
"And Im sorry Sam". Cas nodded towards Sam.
"I guess I have no option, I may have to talk to the Devil himself. Damnit i feel like Percy Jackson", Gabe groaned and disappeared.
"I have to find a plan with Gabriel, But just get those souls where they need to be", Cas said. And he disappeared.

"Where are you taking me", Madi whimpered. She brushed over her fresh slice on her right arm then smudged the blood on it. Madi hissed at the sharp pain. Mercy walked into a room. Lucifer was standing there smiling.
"Hello little princess", He said softly. Madi looked at him timidly. Mercy put her down. And she exited the room. Her heels clicking as she walked Mercy closed the door and the door made a loud noise. Madison jumped at the sound echoing through the room.
"Satan", Madi but her lower lip and stared at the wall behind him.
"Please don't call me, why don't you call me Daddy?", Lucifer suggested as he crouched in front of her. She shook her head. eyes getting watery.
"DEAN AND SAMMY ARE MY DADDIES!", Madi yelled. Lucifer frowned.
"but they aren't, sweetie. I'm not going to hurt you", Lucifer put his hand on the side of her cheek. She winced.
"Thats what they all said"
"Well they are liars I tell the truth", Madi shook her head.
"Nope you're liar too"
"No i am certainly not"
"Yes"
"Stop that!", Lucifer scolded.
"Your just pretending to be nice", she then kicked him in the stomach and ran to the door. She stopped dead in her tracks as Crowley walked in.
"Hello Darling, I'm going to talk to Daddy", Crowley picked Madi up.
"Crowley", Lucifer said.
"Hello Luci. I have to go now. But you'll have plenty of catching up to do when i'm done", Crowley. "i just need to make sure she forgets about Dean and Sam Winchester completely. Things will be much easier", Crowley disappeared.
"DEEE IS COMING BACK" Madison protested.
"Well i'm taking you back to your cage", Crowley said opening the cell door and he put Madi down gently and shut the door.
"Bye Darling", Crowley disappeared. Madi curled into a ball. And he clutched the pendant around her neck. "Dean", she said softly. "and Sammy and Uncle BB, I will see you soon",Madi smiled slightly and fell asleep.

Dean stood in the middle of the dark field. He cut his arm opened. And the glowing light came out of his arm. Dean blinked away a few tears. The glowing orb brushed Deans cheek then spiraled into the clouds.
"bye Jo, I'll see you one day, I hope", Dean smiled at it came down again and swirled around deans head then it shot straight up into the clouds. They watch as the light disappeared into the clouds. Dean waved and then he looked down.
"As for Clara", Dean looked at Sam.
"We gotta burn her bones", Bobby said. THey were walking back to the Impala and Bobby got back to his truck. Dean turned around to see and empty car seat. Dean put his head on the steering wheel and cried. Sam looked him trying to hold back tears.
"Shes not there", Dean sobbed. "SHES NOT THERE", Dean said. He couldn't hold it in anymore he just couldn't. Because everytime he saw her horrified face in Crowleys arms Because he hurt her and thats was just it.
"Dean why don't we get a motel and sleep", Sam choked.
"I can't sleep"
"I have Clara in my arm! Were sleeping", Sam said.
"Fine", Dean groaned.

Lucifer was walking down the hallway with the rusty cells. he never came to this part of hell much. But he had a reason this time. to find his daughter and start his plan. to get out of hell again and he would use Madi. He turned down a corner and paused.
"Donvan? how did you-?" HE started
"dad," Donovan gave a semblance smile.
"how did you escape?" Lucifer asked
"i punched my way through the wall what are you doing around these parts?" Donovan asked
"look, son, im sorry that i locked you in that prison, but now i need your help" He said
"why would i help you with anything?" Don asked
"i'm your father"
"like that meant anything the other day" Donovan said
"donny, im sorry, i realized now that i need your help" Lucifer aid "please"
"doing what" donovan asked
"getting out, and i need Madison. She trusts you and i trust you. please"
"why do you need to get out so bad?" Donovan asked crossing his arms. Lucifer sighed.
"I just want the ability to leave, you don't know what its like having to be stuck down here" Lucifer said
"i think i do"
"just please help me"
whats in it for me?" Donovan asked. Lucifer took a few steps toward him.
"It'll et Madison out, and anything else you wish" Lucifer said. donovan took a deep breath and sifted. He swallowed and sighed.
"what do we have to do?"

"Dean" Sam said waking up a bit. Dean was sitting at the small table in the room with an empty glass in his hand.
"morning Sammy" He said distantly.
"were you up all night?" Sam asked
"no" Dean grunted and stood up and went to the bathroom. Sam groaned and glanced at his arm, the blue light of Clara's soul was still shining and swirling brightly. He sighed and got up.
"ready?" Dean asked coming out of the bathroom.
"yeah, we going to Clara's town?" Sam asked
"i need to get right back on getting Madi, take the keys go burn her body and free her. im going to call cas" Dean said
"right" Sam said.
"hello Dean, Sam" Cas appeared.
"oh Cas hey get me to Bobbys" Dean said
"now?" Cas asked "what about you Sam?"
"hes going to go free Clara's soul but i need to go find some other way of saving my daughter" Dean said stepping towards Cas.
"okay" Cas said and touched Dean's forehead. Cas was still in the room though. "Sam" Cas nodded about to leave.
"wait! Cas, can i ask you something?" Sam asked
"of course" Cas looked at him.
"can you do me a favor for a friend" Sam asked
"'what is it?" Cas asked.
"can you fix Clara's body, so i can put her soul back" Sam asked
"are you sure thats a good idea? Sam, shes been down there for five years" Castiel said.
"yes, Castiel please" Sam said.
"it might not have good results, but okay" He shrugged
"thank you" Sam said sighing.
"call me when you get there" Cas said disappearing.
VII
Alec sat with his back against the wall wondering what he could do about Hayden.
He couldn't just go in there.
Or could he? Perfect.
"YES"! Alec yelled as he figured out they went to work 2 minutes ago.
"Finally I can play with Hayden". Then he walked to his door and opened it. he looked out to see if they didnt leave yet because sometimes the run late.
"Good there not here" Alec said as he sighed with relief.
He crept out of his room looking down the hall at Hayden's door.
He slid in the room closing the door behind him quietly. He saw her face. She was awake. Alec reached down and picked her up and rocked her in his arm. He put one finger in front of her and she reached it and curled her entire hand around it Her soft gentle hands. Alec made a face and she giggled. he smiled He loved her giggle and her gentle nature it made him forget about all the tortured soul he had under a blade and all the times his mother and father were pushing him to be something he wasn't. A monster. he forgotten Alec smiled for once,everytime he saw her. Because nothing else was important besides his baby sister. She was the only gentle thing in hell. and for an eight year old boy to grasp that understanding of something was strange. Yet beautiful. because the care he'd done to this couple month old baby, is a care that a parent would take for their child not an older sibling. The worry Alec had for Hayden was a grown-up worry and Alec was only 8 and he had these worries. The ill to put his entire life in front of hers wa something that an adult would do and Alec was 8, but Alec would do it in a heartbeat for her. Because that was who Alec was. He was going to get her out. Even if it meant Madison had to stay, or Donovan. Even if that meant that Alec had to stay. he would gladly do it in a heartbeat. Alec just sat in the rocking chair with her.
"Hayden", Alec said softly. "you know I'm gonna get you out of her I promise but you gotta hold on for a little while longer", Alec said. looking at her. Hayden looked at him with her bright green eyes. She close them quickly and yawned. Alec looked at smiled and rocked in the chair a bit.
"I love you Haystack"

"UNLEASH THE APOCALYPSE, FATHER THAT WILL BRING HELL UP WITH YOU", Donovan shot a glare.
"you said you would do it", Lucifer said.
"I lied"
"ugh, i'm leaving good luck with your little sister, Crowley is making it so she forgets the Winchesters names", Lucifer stormed down the hallway. Donovan's eyes widened and ran down the hall again looking for her cell. It wouldn't be hard to spot there no babies in hell. THe youngest person they have is probably 12 and he sold his soul. Donovan looked around then he saw Len he pinned Len against the side of a empty cell. The doors made a squeaky noise.
"What is Madison Annelise Grimm cell number?", Donovan asked
"Thats classified information", Len twitched his eye. "PLEASE DON'T HURT ME", he begged. Donovan clenched his teeth and pushed him harder into the cell. Len winced.
"OK OK OK OK, its cell number 666! DON'T TELL ON ME", Donvan smirked then pulled Len off the wall he pushed him and len started running. Donovan shrugged his shoulder.
"Ironic", Donovan started at the 500 hall. Crowley liked to move them and number them accordingly. But its not like there really old people still in cages. By now the damned cavemen were demons and probably dead by now. He approached the end of the hallway and it said 600 he walked down to the proper number. it was empty. Dammit he was too late. Donovan ran towards the torture chambers.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmm". she screeched.
"Thats three of the holy water, you don't thinks that over kill", Mercy smirked.
"She's not dead", Crowley said. "probably wishes it though".
"Probably doesn't, shes probably crying out for her Dean and Sammy", Mercy frowned with complete semblance. "its breaks my heart", mercy said,
"mmmmm", madi mumbled.
"What was that, sweetie i couldn't hear you with your gag", Mercy ripped it off and Madi winced.
"They're coming for me", Madi said.
"Thats nice dear", Crowley tied another one around her mouth. Before he cut into her skin again.
"Mmmmmmmmm", she was getting used the sensation of pain. It was all she was knowing now And it wouldn't stop there was no use fighting anymore. It was pointless She saw dean he promised. He wouldn't give up on her He was coming back and he would hug her and kiss her cheek and sing her Hey Jude to her as she fell asleep and tell a story about her Mommy. This was just a bad dream that she needed to wake up from him. It would be over soon and her Dean would rock her and make sure she was okay. And she would smile and kiss Rawwry. This wasn't real no this was just a dream. It was only a dream.

Sam stepped out of the car and stood for a moment with the door still opened, he looked out at the graveyard. It was almost 1 am. He glanced down at the bright blue light in his arm and sighed. He felt selfish for doing this, but then again, not in any way. It is what's best, bringing her back for Madison. Obviously just him, dean and bobby weren't enough, even though it was more protection than any normal five year old. Sam closed the door and got the grave digging shovel, he would normally get matches as well, but hes not burning her body. When he got to her grave stone he saw that it wasn't much more than a small plaque in grass. When he finished digging, he called Cas.
"Hey Cas, I'm ready" He said
"I'll be right there Sam" Cas said just as he appeared in front of him. They hung up their phones. "are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Cas asked
"yes, Madi needs her" Sam said.
"all right" Cas sighed and knelt down to Clara's body. "this may take a moment" Cas said
"okay" HE said. A few minutes went by and Cas stood up, Claras body looking just the way it did when he was alive. "wow, Cas thank you" Sam said
"sure" Cas disappeared.
"Ready Clara? Here we go" Sam sighed and to the knife he was holding and took a deep breath, he cut along the blue light in his arm. The light flowed out and went straight to the body. Sam watched anxiously for a moment. Clara gasped awake she quickly sat up breathing heavily. Sam knelt down and held her shoulders with his arm.
"hey, hey, its okay. Just relax" Sam said.
"Sam?" she asked. She looked confused for a minute. "what the hell? why am i alive? i told you to burn my bones!" She shouted.
"shh. shh. I'm sorry, ill explain. When we were in hell, getting Madi, and you and Jo out,-" Sam started
"Jo was in hell?" she asked
"not anymore" Sam said anyway, "We had her, We were so damn close, but Crowley and this demon named Mercy-"he continued
"Please tell me you didn't leave her down there" Clara said
"clara, im sorry, Crowley took her, and we had minutes left to get back to where the taxi driver told us to meet him and we didn't have time to go get er back, We tried, we tried so hard to get her, but with MErcy, and, Crowley and Lucifer, we couldn't get her out" Sam said
"WHAT THE HELL? I gave you guys one job" she said
"I know, and were so sorry, believe me. Were devastated, especially Dean. And i can't even begin to explain how i feel about her being down there. But the reason I brought you back, with help from Cas, is because we need you, Madi needs you. Dean and I can't do this alone" Sm said. Clara didn't really say anything, she just looked at Sam and looked around and up at the stars.
"wait, you said lucifer. why would Lucifer want Madison?" Clara asked after a few minutes.
"Clara?" Sam said softly. "Lucifer is her father" He said.
"What?! no no no no no no not possible! i didn't… not with Satan! No not" She said shaking her head. "it was just some random, one nighter guy" She said
"come here" Sam said and pulled her into a tight hug. "I"M so sorry, but yes, shes still down there and yes Satan is her dad. But your back, you're safe with us, with me…..and Dean ahem" Sam said and swallowed. Clara hugged him back, tightly.
"why dont we get out of the dark and find someplace to sleep" Sam said. Clara noded and they stood up. It took her a moment to get balanced and start walking again.
