"Wake up. Get to Jen."

It was a voice that Mark had never heard before, and it whispered into his ear. As soon as he heard this, his eyes shot open and he jumped off of the couch, making a dash for Jen's room, but when he opened the door, he noticed her bed was empty. He then glanced to the bathroom, but it was dark and empty as well. Mark was now in full-panic mode as he went over to look out the living room window. The truck was gone!

"Shit! Connie, wake up!"
Mark dashed to the bedroom door, yelling, "Connie! Connie, get up!"

Frightened, Connie jumped out of bed and opened the door within five seconds, "What? What's happening?!"

"Jen's gone, and so is the truck!"

"Wha-?!" She began, rubbing her eyes tiredly as Mark spoke up again:
"I heard a boys voice. It told me to go to her, but she's gone!"

The voice that had spoken was Richard, but Mark wouldn't know this, of course.

Mark now rushed for the front door, Connie not far behind him,
"Wait! Where are you going? We don't have the truck!"

"I'm going to the church. Jen was asking about it. She's got to be there. You stay here, Connie, in case she shows up, okay?"

Mark was immediately out the door and running before he even gave her the chance to respond.

Light as a feather.
Maybe even lighter than that.
Could this be...?

Jen "woke" in an empty room that was illuminated by a beautiful, shimmering silver color and in the distance, she could see a tall gate across a doorway. Was this... the gateway to heaven? She sighed as she came to the realization that she was dead, "Oh Mark, I'm so sorry."

Taking in a deep breath, Jen took a couple steps forward in the direction of the gate but then -POOF- ..it vanished.
"What the...- WAIT!"

Had she missed her chance to get into heaven? What was to happen to her now?

The voice of a boy then spoke up from behind her, "It's not your time to go, Jen."

When Jen spun around to look at who was there, her jaw dropped.
There was no question who this boy, who stood about a foot shorter than her, was.
The resemblance to Henry was strong and obvious.

"You're him, aren't you? You're..."

"Richard. Richard Evans." He finished for her.

"Richard. Oh wow..."

"There's not a whole lot of time, Jen. I'm just here to let you in on what your angel, Castiel, did..."

But Jen shook her head, interrupting him, "I know what he did, Richard."

"You don't know it all," He told her, shaking his head as well, "but you need to. Having this information will help you defeat Henry."

She nodded, "Tell me."

"When Castiel was helping you, demons were hurting him and took him away. They'd given Henry a spell to get rid of him, and Castiel could feel how much trouble he was in, so he transferred some of his angel power over to you. That's why you recovered so quickly. Castiel wanted you to be able to take care of yourself in his absence. You just need to awaken these powers. Now, listen carefully..."

Jen's eyes had widened at this news, but she listened intently.

"Mark's about to find your body, and you'll be back with him soon. When you wake up, focus and place a hand or two on your legs. Focus hard. You'll be able to heal."
Richard's image began to fade, but Jen called out and he paused before disappearing completely, "Wait! Before you go... can you tell me if there's any way to save Castiel?"

"That I can't tell you. I don't know. I'm sorry..."
And with that, Richard was gone.

Mark ran the entire eight miles until he finally arrived at what was left of the church, looking on in horror as he tried to catch his breath, "What in the-?"

Pause.
A body laying at the side of the road.

"No. No!" He ran again and knelt down by her side, eyes widened in terror once he realized it was her, "Jen! No ..no.. oh my god..."
He tried to feel for a pulse, but could find none. "No, no, no... NO! Henry's not winning. I won't allow it."

Despite still feeling a bit out of breath, he tilted Jen's head back slightly and leaned in to begin CPR on her.
However, as soon as his mouth was just inches from hers, she let out LOUD gasp and her eyes shot open.
Mark fell back, startled.

Breathing heavily, Jen just lie there at first, staring up at the night sky. Mark fixed himself back into a kneeling position at her side, "Take it easy, you're okay. Thank god. It's a miracle." He smiled and started to try to help her sit up, but Jen just shook her head as she remembered what Richard had told her to do, "Give me a minute."

There really was no pain in her legs, just numbness and an inability to move them.

Jen took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and placed a hand on each of her thighs. Focusing as intensely as she could, she began to feel a wave of warmth flow from each palm and into her legs, traveling all the way down them. It was working! And she smiled once she realized they had healed and she could now move again, "Okay. I'm good now."

"What happened here, Jen?" Mark wondered as he now helped her sit up and then get to her feet.

"Henry. I was inside praying for forgiveness in hopes to get Castiel back, then he threw a grenade through a window and I couldn't escape in time. I survived but got pinned under the rubble and he strangled me. I'm so sorry for taking off in your truck, Mark, really sorry..."

"Hey, don't stress over that now, I'm just glad to have you back."

"What happened to Castiel is Henry's fault. Richard just told me that demons gave Hen-" Jen had begun to explain, but Mark interrupted in shock: "You saw Richard?" and she nodded. "He said he was there to give me some information that will help us beat Henry, but unfortunately, he didn't know how we can get Castiel back. Demons gave Henry a spell to get rid of him."

"We'll figure out a way, don't worry..." Mark assured her as he accompanied her back to his truck and Jen handed him his keys, "..what's this information that Richard told you about defeating Henry?"

"Well..." She began as he started up the truck and drove them back. During the trip, she explained how she now had some of Castiel's angel power and mentioned being able to heal her two broken legs, but that she will still need to practice with this ability in order to find out what all she's capable of. "This is GREAT. We'll definitely give him what he deserves now." Mark smiled eagerly.

Back at Mark's cabin, Connie sat on the couch waiting either for Mark to return or Jen to turn up. She was still pretty exhausted and ended up falling back to sleep, but only for a few minutes, because now a strange voice spoke into her ear and made her jump awake: "Don't be afraid, sis." Her heart was pounding now, as she expected to see Henry standing over her or something, but as she scanned the room she didn't see anyone. She even got up and searched the entire place. No one.
"What in the world..."

Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I admit it was a little rushed toward the end because I just NOW finished it in order to meet my goal of having it up TODAY. I'm actually not fond of it, but meh. Life's been crazy lately, and I'm struggling to stay afloat by accepting all these extra work hours. Sometimes I only get one day a week off, which has affected my ability to work on this fic. I'm doing what I can though, so thanks for sticking with me. I'm leaving town for the weekend, so hopefully that will refresh me. All reviews welcome, as well as suggestions. Thanks! :)
