Jen sighed, "Okay... please go get him. I'd like to speak with him alone."
Connie nodded and left to go after Mark.

"And I mean it. Alone." Her eyes now set on Castiel so he knew that she would mean him too.

"Jennifer, he seems a bit out of control lately."

"Castiel, please. He wouldn't do anything. I trust him just as I trust you. Let me have a word alone with Mark."

The angel nodded without another word and vanished.

Mark entered the room again about fifteen seconds later, and Jen wasted no time in speaking up, "Mark, I understand you were worried, but it was only a nightmare and I'm sorry it got you so worked up. You need to understand something though... Castiel would never do anything to hurt me. He's my guardian angel. So please, calm down."

"I know, Jen. I apologize. It's Henry. I'm letting him get to me more than I should. I know I need to relax and I promise to do my best. Can you forgive me?"

She gave him a sweet smile, "Of course. Now, let's all work together okay?"

Mark returned her smile and embraced her, "You bet."
He then took a seat next to her on the bed as she looked around and called out for Castiel and Connie to return.
In only three seconds, the angel reappeared, followed by Connie who walked back in not long after.

Mark stood from the bed and looked to the angel, "I'm sorry for my behavior and would really like it if we can get along from now on."

Though he remained weary, Castiel would not show it.
He simply nodded and extended a hand, which Mark immediately took and nodded back as they shook.

"And, Castiel, I've decided..." Jen spoke up, the smile on her face from seeing these two shake hands now fading.

"Yes, Jennifer?" He moved to be closer to her side.

"Do it." Her eyes moved to look downward now in shame.

"Are you sure? Absolutely 100% sure, and all YOUR decision?" Castiel asked, needing her reassurance as he placed a hand gently over hers.

She nodded and looked to him again, "100%"

Mark and Connie remained quiet, exchanging glances.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After the brief encounter with Richard's ghost earlier, Henry had decided to head back to the tunnel and perhaps, for now, make that his temporary home. Sleep deprivation had really begun to take a toll because almost as soon as he reached his destination, he drifted off to sleep as he leaned against one of the concrete walls in exhaustion.

However, this time would be much different.
What was about to occur was very unusual, and a first for Henry... at least, as far as he could remember.

There was a chill in the air. Colder than anything ever. Any place.
And all Henry could see now was dark gray.

"What's happening? What's going on here?!" He demanded to know.
His body was now beginning to react to the extremely bitter temperature. Trembling hard, he was sure he was about to drop to the ground since his legs could barely handle it.

Just then, two red eyes appeared a few away and whatever this was, it began to laugh.
"Welcome back to hell, Henry."

"Hell? What are you talking about? Hell would have fire, and people would be burning everywhere. Where am I?!"

"Hahahaaa... you really don't remember then. You humans and your completely wrong views. Hell is quite the opposite from your tales. Anyway... don't you ever wonder, Henry, why it is that you can't remember anything in your life from the time your mother dropped you from the cliff to just five years ago?"

Henry now took a seat on the ground, shaking almost violently, "So you had something to do with this..."

"You had a home with us in hell for quite some time. And, after twenty years, we placed you back into the world as you are now. How you would've been had you never perished. Age, appearance, mental-state and all..." the demon laughed, "what can I say? We wanted more of your chaos. You're quite popular among us."

Henry said nothing.
He didn't quite know how to respond to this bit of news.

Again, the demon laughed, finding it funny that someone like Henry could be reduced to silence.
"Oh come now..." and as those words were spoken, the eyes came closer, now standing over Henry, but there was no visible body... just the creepy floating red eyes, "I'll cut right to the chase. I'm here to offer you a bit of assistance. Wouldn't you like to be rid of that meddlesome angel that's hanging around Jen?"

This time, Henry perked up, eager to find out how,
"So there's a way, huh? To kill him?"

"I can give you instructions on how to send him here to this dimension. We'd love to get our claws on him too... and TORTURE."

Henry got back up to his feet, no longer trembling like he had been, and staring back now that he was eye-level with the demon.
"I'll do it. Tell me."

"THAT'S OUR BOY!" the demon laughed once more, "Once you wake from here, you will find some black seeds next to you on the ground. Take them to that secret well of yours, along with the heart of a deer. FRESH. Kill the animal yourself and carve it out. Drop the seeds in first, then the bloody heart, and chant these words five times: Inknam Sema Upton Ruu ... followed by this phrase three times: Dagrum Incene. After that, the angel will no longer be in your way... Hahahaaaaa!"

Henry nodded, smiling.

"Now... get to it."
And as soon as the demon spoke those words, Henry's eyes opened and he was fully awake.

Looking down at the ground, Henry spotted those black seeds mentioned near his feet and grinned,
"Time to work some magic."
