Thanks to everyone for their awesome reviews! Here is the much awaited chapter 9….

Trapped In A Nightmare:

Chapter 9: Past Becomes Present

Sam looked at Dean. Everything was quiet. Sam looked around and all of a sudden, an invisible force hit Dean and knocked him out.

"What the----?"

Before, Sam could finish, he was hit with the same invisible force and everything went black.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Slowly, very slowly, Dean opened his eyes and was blinded by the bright light coming from the window.

"Sammy….close the light…."

Sam started to get up when he heard Dean. Dean heard Sam moving and figured that he was just getting ready for the day and that he would wake him up later.

"HOLY SHIT!"

Dean jumped up at the sound of Sam's voice.

"Sam….what the hell is wrong with y---"

Dean stopped mid sentence when he saw Sam.

"Oh God Sammy...you're….you're….you're….younger."

Sam looked in the mirror with a look of pure shock on his face. The last time he remembered, he wasn't 14. Now as he looked in the mirror, he saw himself younger. He was short and he had braces. He was 14 years old….again.

"Whoa, whoa," Sam said. "This does not make any sense. How the hell can I be 14 again? The last time I checked, I was 23. This is really really not normal."

"I know that it isn't normal, Sam! Did you bother to look at me? I'm not 27 anymore! I'm freakin' 18 years old. Man, look at me."

While Dean ranted on about the way he looked, Sam started thinking. And after putting 2 and 2 together, an answer popped up in his mind.

"Dean….I know why we are like this. I got the answer."

"What?" Dean raised his eyebrows at Sam as if to say, 'Go on….'

"Well….think about it. Jerimiah said that in order to get out of this nightmare life, we need to live it. Well….I think that's what he meant. We have to live our life. But there has to be something different about it. Something that made it change. I wonder why this life is a nightmare….? It looks fine to me….I think."

Dean was stunned because he knew that Sam was right.

"Whoa, wait a minute Sam. I know what little 'event' made this life a nightmare."

"Yeah? What is it? Tell me Dean."

Dean hesitated for a while but then went on.

"You were way too young to remember this Sammy. You were about five at the time. Anyway, Dad came home one night. Drunk as hell. And I guess you pissed him off or something but he was about to beat the crap out of you and I stopped him. Convinced him to stop drinking. And he did. But I'm thinking that this nightmare life is what if. As in, what if I hadn't stopped him and let it happen? It would be a nightmare. And that's why we're here. To live out our lives….nightmare style."

Apparently, this was too much for Sam to take in and he sat down in a state of shock. Then again, the temporary shock wore off and Sam was pacing the room desperately trying to piece things together.

"SAMMY! STOP!"

Sam turned to look at Dean. "What?"

"You're making me nervous! Now stop pacing or I swear I'll slap you." Dean said.

"Sorry," said Sam as he sat down next to Dean.

BANG!

The sudden loud noise of the front door closing and the loud footsteps coming up the stairs made Sam and Dean jump.

Sam was a little freaked. "What the----?"

The door knob slowly began to turn while Sam and Dean prepared for what was behind it.

"Sammy……..get ready for your first round of our nightmare life…."
