Dean laughed. Arms and legs bound and lying on the torture table he laughed a deep, full belly laugh that ended in a little coughing fit and spilled tears on his cheeks. Then he just smiled at the ceiling a moment before he spoke.

"Man, did you see how mad she got? Whew, I thought she was gonna tear that scabby fur ball to pieces." He said as he rubbed his face on his upstretched bicepts to wipe away the glistening drops of relief from his face.

AH-rii bound to his bindings smiled and shook her head a little. Moments before he was about to be painfully mutilated by the scariest demon bitch ever... but this temporary reprieve was enough to have him joking around- these humans.

The mood in here is better, she thought, and I used magic…… maybe….. just maybe….

"Dean, do you smell any Brimstone?" She asked.

"No, just my own my own manly scent." He made a sniff of his tee shirt pit, smirked and shrugged as best he could with his arms tied over his head. "Now that you mention it, I only smell that stuff whenever she and that thing are in the room."

AH-rii had a playful look on her face, "Doesn't feel too warm in here either, does it?"

Dean nodded as his smirk turned into a smile, "No, no it doesn't. Did someone in Hell forget to pay their fuel bill?"

AH-rii snorted and said, "I don't think Hell has to worry about an energy crisis any time soon." And she looked around the chamber. "You know, I don't think we're in Hell"

"Where else could we be?" Dean asked.

AH-rii propped herself on tippy toes to loosen the pull of her wrist binds for a moment and answered quizzically, "It didn't seem to take them long to bring us here from the surface, you know,-how long do you figure?"

Dean looked up at the ceiling raised his eyebrows and puffed a breath out as he mentally calculated, "It DID take time didn't it? - Not poof and we're in Hell, they physically brought us here." He was silent a moment, " I remember being pulled down through the dirt, I shut my eyes and mouth and held my breath when those crawly things swarmed over us...and then we fell for a short drop... it was dark and smelled like damp earth." He looked over at AH-rii his expression suddenly pained, " I thought I'd lost you... I thought I was smelling the dirt of my own grave." Then his face softened, "until I heard you cussin' at them."

"UGH", the little fairy shuddered, "those crawly things were the worst! I remember the ground went out from under us and we fell, but you're right not far, like drop bump, six feet, seven feet tops and then they carried us in pretty much a straight line till they brought us here. Didn't take long, about twenty minutes/ half hour, seem like that to you?"

"Yeah that's about right. Dean agreed, "So what do you think; are we still in my world or did they bring us to yours?"

"Not your world, or I couldn't have done this," AH-rii gestured with her chin at the shimmery green cocoon surrounding Dean. " Where exactly is Bobby's place I don't remember much of the car ride there."

"Its just off the highway about fifty miles north of the motel we were stayin' at." Was Dean's reply.

"That would put is Idaho right?" AH-rii asked.

Dean started to pick up on the tread and his smile became wider "Yeah, its in Silver Valley."

"So called because of all the Silver mines dug here." AH-rii was beginning to look smug. The Fey mined here as well, its silver is some of the purest in the world. " In fact…" and then her smug expression faltered..

Dean frowned at the look of worry crossing the fairy's face. "What? So we know where we are right?"

AH-rii's expression deepened into a scowl and she turned to face him, "I may know exactly where we are," She stated in a flat voice, " it was called the Morning/Star and it was the deepest mine in the U.S. in its day."

"So why the frown, we know where we are, as soon as you get your Mojo to get us loose we can hoof it outa here"

"AH-rii looked at him and there was not joy but sadness in her eyes. "You don't understand," her voice almost cracking, her eyes bright with tears, "This place, if this place is indeed part of my homeland and the demons have broken through, she inhaled deeply and her face became grim, " then the Everafter has just been invaded by Hell.
