The story takes place right after the season 10 finale, after Dean killed Death, the Mark of Cain was removed and Darkness was released into the world. I mentioned before, new characters will be added and thrown in the story and I will bring back several former characters from the show in the upcoming future.
Chapter 4 Before The Darkness: The Arrival
Lebanon, Kansas
Gwen and her grandmother have been driving for hours now in their small blue ford car when they had finally arrived in the small town of Lebanon in Kansas. Gwen who is the one that is driving still can't believe how far they have driven because of the visions her grandmother had about an old building in this very small town and the voices that told her the name Winchester.
It was weird enough that her grandmother had some of the same visions she had of the two young men and the classic black Chevy Impala but now there is the fact that the name Winchester is linked somehow to her premonitions of this Darkness that is about to come and these two men live in this small town. Just after the séance, Madame Bess told Gwen that they had to go to this small town and very early this morning they closed the place and hopped in their car packed a few luggage for their trip and now here they are.
Gwen is still curious as what they are going to do when they find this old building plus the two men in their visions."Hello, you don't know us, but I saw a premonition of huge black smoke that may destroy the world plus seeing you in my visions, so me and my grandmother who is also a psychic had a séance and the voices told her that you may be linked this all of this so we decided to seek you out?" Gwen sarcastically thought in her head realizing how crazy that sounded.
But, the fact remains is that both of them saw visions of the gigantic black smoke plus the black car and the two men. Her grandmother did see a vision of some kind of old building and the voices telling her the name Winchester and they are all connected somehow. Those men in her visions names might be Winchester, they are probably related but what do they have to do with all of what is about to happen? Gwen still couldn't understand any of this but they will just have to figure it out once they get to their destination.
Driving along the empty road she realized just how tired and bored she was and she figured her grandmother was too as she had been quiet for quite some time now.
"Hey grandma, are you hungry, I figure we find a diner or café nearby and get something to eat" she said.
"I'm good dear but if you want to go right ahead, we still got plenty of time to get that place" said Madame Bess.
"I still wonder what are we going to do when we get there? I mean even if we find those men I can't imagine what we are going to say about the visions we had" said Gwen.
"We tell them the truth, besides from what I gather from the visions, these fellows are very much of part of what is going to happen, I just don't know how" said her grandmother. "But, mark my words I have a feeling they will be willing to cooperate once we tell them about what we saw" she continued.
"This is so crazy, grandma, of all the visions I had, I never seen anything like this before and I'm scared of what it could mean" said Gwen who still can't get the images of the black smoke out of her mind.
They continued to drive in silence for a few minutes when all of the sudden they felt a huge gust of wind as the sky seemed to be getting windier by the second. The wind was so strong that that the car began to shake a little.
"What's happening?" asked Gwen curiously.
"You don't think it is a tornado, do you?" she continued.
"I don't know dear" said Madame Bess.
As the wind started to get even stronger, they both suddenly knew what was going to happen next. There up in the sky were huge rays of black smoke and soon shots of landed on the ground like an explosion with the loud sound of thunder.
"Grandma!" cried Gwen, but before she could finish her sentence, the gigantic black smoke was roaring like waves in the sea as it storming straight in their direction.
"Oh my God, that's it, it's that darkness or whatever and it's coming!" cried out Gwen.
"Oh dear, it has come already" murmured Madame Bess to herself. "Gwendoline, please we got to get to safety, hurry!" she cried out as she turned to Gwen.
Within seconds, Gwen turned the car around and starting driving away speeding as fast as she could neither of them had ever been so scared as they were then. However, despite their speed, they couldn't out drive that gigantic black smoke as they both looked to the left and right the gigantic black smoke of waves was everywhere and within minutes it surrounded their car and engulfed it. Now seeing nothing but black smoke both Gwen and Madame Bess screamed at the same time fearing the worst.
"Grandmaaaa!" Gwen screamed one last time as they felt their car swerve.
The Abandoned Building
Crowley now shaking and actually fearing for his life someone he rarely does in his years as a demon continued to fend Castiel off who was still under the dog spell his evil witch of a mother Rowena had him under. Castiel with his bloodshot eyes and blood literally drooping under his eyes and was still snarling and growling like a dog came at him again with the blade and again Crowley grabbed his arm and with all his strength threw Castiel flying across the room once more.
"Castiel, please if you can hear me, fight it!" Crowley cried out not believing he was actually pleading for his life.
His mother that bitch, had really done a number on him now although he always knew in his heart he couldn't trust her, a part of him had actually wanted to believe at sometime that she was sincere in wanting to make amends. Emotions are nothing but a weakness and if he got out of this mess he'll be hell bent on making that evil harlot of a mother pay for once and for all.
After crashing into wall, Castiel got up unharmed and still growing seemed to grow angrier and once again came out him with that blade but as Crowley was ready to defend himself, within seconds a woman appeared and grabbed Castiel and managed to restrain him.
"Castiel, you can fight it" she said and kept holding on him she managed to touch his head with one hand and suddenly just like that the spell seemed to be broken and Castiel was back to his old self.
The woman then let him go and Castiel looking calm and amazed stared into the woman's face. She was quite an attractive woman in her early thirties with dark chestnut brown hair pinned up in a bun, hazel eyes and smooth ice cream complexion and oval-shaped head. She was wearing a nice medium blue long-sleeve blouse with white trousers and brown flats.
Although Castiel hasn't ever seen the vessel before, looking into the soul behind this body he was able to recognize her immediately.
"Are you alright Castiel?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm fine now but what are you doing here Hannah?" he asked her.
"I was sent here by God" said Hannah.
"God, you mean he's returned to heaven?" Castiel asked amazed.
"Yes, he just returned recently just in time" said Hannah.
"Why does He return now after all these years, I mean where was He all this time and what did you mean just now?" asked Castiel.
"Hello, remember me, while you two are catching up, I'm still can't bloody move from this spot, thanks to my bitch mother!" cried out Crowley impatiently and exasperated that he was being ignored.
Hannah and Castiel both turned to Crowley acknowledging his presence.
"Hey, darling, I would like to say its good seeing you again, and nice new meat suit but if you noticed I'm bloody stuck!" Crowley yelled as he was still under the Rowena's spell that blocked him from moving form the spot he had been standing.
Castiel asked Hannah, "do you think you can free him?"
"Are you sure?" asked Hannah surprised he would want her to help a demon, especially Crowley, the King of Hell.
"I'm sure, he helped with a spell to undo a curse on a friend, you remember Dean?" he said.
With that Hannah touched Crowley and he could suddenly move again.
"Well, bloody well time, free at last, love to engage small talk luv, but just curious what brought your angel self down from upstairs?" Crowley asked.
"I'm curious to know that myself, Hannah why are you down here, and what were going to tell me about God being back?" Castiel asked, more curious than ever.
"Well, like I said God just came back all of the sudden because he predicted that Darkness is coming back to destroy the world" she said.
"What the bloody hell is Darkness?" asked Crowley.
"There is no such thing as Darkness, it was a just scary bedtime stories we angels told ourselves, a myth" said Castiel.
"Not true, Darkness is real. Before God created all us other angels, Darkness existed as an evil, most powerful and dangerous entity that caused nothing but chaos and destruction, it was too powerful for God and the original archangels to defeat, so God locked it away by using the Mark of Cain which he gave to Lucifer who then passed it on to Cain who as you know passed it on to Dean. Once removed, Darkness will return again and it will be the greatest threat that has ever existed on this planet" Hannah explained not taking a single breath.
Castiel and Crowley both looked shocked and were in utter disbelief at what they just heard.
"We were working with the witch Rowena who performed a spell to have the mark removed. Now, if what you're saying is true, then we just unleashed this Darkness again" said Castiel feeling guilty of what he might have just started.
"I know, that is why I'm here. God sent me here on a mission to help him defeat Darkness and prepare for its return. I have going to have to organize an army using all the angels we had including the four archangels" she said.
"But that is impossible, Raphael is dead and possibly Gabriel too, and Michael and Lucifer on in Lucifer's cage" said Castiel shocked at her plans.
"I know, God is going to resurrect Raphael and will have to take a new vessel, since the other one was destroyed' she said.
Castiel gave her a quick look of guilt remembering it was he who destroyed Raphael when he thought he became the new God.
"As for Gabriel, he is in fact still alive and hiding and we will have to find him. Regarding Michael and Lucifer, we will have to release them from Lucifer's cage" she said.
Castiel eyes were about to popped of their sockets.
"What, you can't, you can't release Lucifer!" cried out Castiel horrified at such a plan.
"I'm afraid we don't have any choice, it is God's orders as we have to do whatever is necessary to stop Darkness and we need all the help we can get even if it means releasing Lucifer for a while" said Hannah.
Before they could say anything more, they heard it. The sound of the heavy wind that caused the windows to shake and then a loud roaring sound, like that of thunder and then the windows shattered.
"What the bloody hell?" cried out Crowley.
"Darkness, it's here" said Hannah.
The three of them headed out of the building and outside and stood at the doorway to see an amazing sight. The gigantic black smoke formed alike long rays in the sky and the ocean of the smoke on the ground storming like waves.
"What is going to happen?" asked Castiel who actually felt fear, although didn't really know what Darkness is but that made it even more scary.
"Well, I don't know about the pair of you two, but I'm outta here, so see you luvs" said Crowley and just like that he was gone.
Castiel and Hannah continued to looked outside and saw the gigantic black smoke surround everything on the ground, and as they watched they knew that something terrible was going to happen to the planet, something bigger than the apocalypse, bigger than any threat imaged and they had never felt so much fear in their entire existence than they did right that minute.
