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 7 Meeting
Lebanon, Kansas
Time had passed and Gwen and her grandmother kept driving onto the road in the now dark night in their now damaged car with the headlights on as their only light. Gwen was still confused as to how this all happened and couldn't get the black smoke, the visions and the Darkness out of her mind as she tried to focus on the road as he listened to her grandmother's directions on where to go. Finally after driving around, she saw something that looked like a huge building.
"That's it, right there just keep just up further Gwen" cried out her grandmother.
When they finally got close enough, they saw that it was an old looking building that looked abandoned. They parked their car on the dirt road near the building. With the headlights still on, they looked out and could see the old building on top of a little hill. Just below the hill, they saw some what looked like some stair railing and in the middle a little brick wall below some white stoning and just smack in the center a door.
"I saw that door in my visions, this is definitely the place" said Gwen.
"I know dear, I remember this door as well including this entire building" said Madame Bess.
"This place is so old and looks abandoned" though said Gwen.
"Well we should still check it out, we come all this way" her grandmother said.
They quickly got of the car and they headed up to the door.
"What are we going to do now, knock or ring the doorbell if they have one. How do we know this is the front door?" asked Gwen half sarcastically.
Madame didn't' bother to answer instead she just knocked on the metal door hurting her hand in the process.
"Hello is there anyone in there!" yelled Gwen who didn't want to waste anymore time.
There was no answer. This time Gwen knocked on the door, but when it hurt her hand she just kicked the door with her feet yelling, "Hello, anybody!"
"Maybe nobody is home, or we can just find another door to knock that maybe the front entrance" said Madame Bess.
Both of them felt like walking around but not seeing that they had any choice, they hiked up the little hill where the building was and started walking about searching around the building but after some minutes passed, they were amazed that there were no other doors in this huge building. Then they went back down the hill to the metal door and waited.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Gwen.
Finally without a thought, Madame Bess banged and kicked on that door one last time screaming, "Hello anybody please is anyone there!"
Soon Gwen joined in and when they were about to give up, they heard voice behind.
"Who are you?" said the voice.
As they turned around they were shocked to see two people, one a man dressed in a trench coat and a young dark-haired woman.
"How did you get there, we didn't see you coming?" asked Gwen frightened.
"I'll ask the question, who are you two and why are you here" asked Castiel.
"Hello, I'm called Madame Bess and this is my granddaughter may sound very strange and you may think we are crazy, but Gwen and I both happen to be psychics and we had these visions that as you might have known now is the large black smoke that showed up and basically made daylight into night" said Madame Bess.
"I am aware of the recent events that happened" said Castiel in his usual calm tone and solemn look.
"Well, anyway my granddaughter here had visions days before it even happened, plus the visions of two young men for whatever reasons one blonde and the other dark-haired. To learn more what it meant, I looked in my tarot cards where one read Darkness and destruction. Then I hosted a séance find out even more and then I had visions of my own of that black smoke and darkness, the two guys plus this place. Also voices told me particularly of the name Winchester, do you happen to know anything about that name?" Madame Bess explained.
Castiel had a sudden look of shock and curiosity of those two people although he didn't feel they were any danger of threat.
"I'm familiar with the name, but I would like you to explain more about what you have seen first" said Castiel. "By the way, I'm Castiel and this is Hannah" he continued.
Hannah who was silent this whole time said, "You don't have to worry, you are in safe hands but I too am curious about your visions" she said.
"We really wanted to see anyone with the name Winchester, do they live here?" asked Madame Bess.
"I personally know the Winchesters and I"ll inform you more but it is important that you tell me everything you know" Castiel said.
A lot of time had passed and soon Sam and Dean were back in Lebanon and heading back to the bunker. They were mostly silent during the drive as neither wanted to get into another argument but there anger and frustration was still there. As much as Dean was relieved to get that Mark off, he hated the consequences it brought on bringing back this Darkness whatever it was that could cause the destruction of the entire world.
If Sam had just burned that book when he told him to none of this would have happened. Charlie would still be alive, he wouldn't have gone over edge nearly killing Castiel killing Death and other things he now regrets although he doesn't want to think about it. But who was he kidding, if he hadn't had Cain give him the Mark because he was so wrapped up in killing Abaddon, not thinking of the consequences none of this would have happened. This is on him too, maybe more so than Sam. Now he doesn't know what the hell he is going to do and what will happened as a result of their actions but it won't be good not at all and he doesn't know if they will be able to stop it this time.
Sam was deep in his thoughts, thinking if he hadn't been so obsessed of saving Dean to the point of using the Book of Damn and working with Rowena, Charlie still would be here, this Darkness wouldn't happened, even that poor woman Suzy would still be alive come to think of it. He never thought about the consequences despite Dean warning him that the book was evil and no good would come using it.
As Sam continued to think about it, he remembered all the lengths they went to for the other no matter how far, from Dean selling his soul to a crossroad demon to bring him back from the dead, tricking him to say yes to Gadreel to possess him and lying about to him which led up to Kevin's death, him tricking that poor sucker into making a deal with a crossroad demon just so he could find Dean when he became a demon, although he was going to stop him before he did it but was too late. He would even make a deal with Crowley, Rowena maybe even Lucifer just to save his brother and it has cost a lot.
They both have done so much damage as means to an ends when their real purpose was to kill monsters, save lives, protect the innocent. Now it just seems like the only thing that mattered is if he and Dean come out on top just like Suzy or her hallucination said. Something has to change and fast with all what is going on. Sam is determined that both he and Dean make any amends they have to and not repeat any of the mistakes they made over years even if means heaven forbid, actually letting the other go. They just got to stop this cycle that they keep doing in their desperate need to hold on to the other no matter what the costs and he's sure Dean might think the same away especially after all of this. They both finally made it back to the bunker and were stunned on what they found.
"Just who are they again?" said Dean at they two women outside their bunker after Castiel introduced them as well as Hannah in her new vessel.
"They said they are psychics who foresaw the Darkness and had visions of the two of you and believe you were somehow linked to all of this" said Castiel.
Dean and Castiel were still pretty awkward with each other as since the last time they saw each other Dean beat the pulp out of him and nearly killed him all puffed up from the influence of the Mark.
"I think we can better explain this all inside" Madame Bess.
Soon Dean used the hidden key and let them all inside the bunker. The two women were amazed at what they saw inside the building that felt more like mansion. Soon afterwards, Madame Bess explained her story.
"You see my granddaughter saw the visions of the Darkness first then you two later. When she predicts something for days or week before it happens it means that it is something very major' said Madame Bess. "As I told Castiel, I read it in the cards that this Darkness was coming, then held a séance to find out more about these visions and where we can turn to for help and I saw the visions myself of the black smoke in the sky, in the ground and the two of you plus this place and the voice told me that Darkness was coming and the name Winchester" she continued.
"So you did some hocus, pocus and poof, you saw our faces and the little voices told you our names?" asked Dean sarcastically. "How do we know you are how you said you are and not some demons or whatever" he continued sternly.
"I assure you we are not any demons or whatever you think we are" said Madame Bess, astounded by such of a thought.
But they again they were both astounded for the past half-hour since coming to this old place from learning that Hannah and Castiel were angels of the Lord to their utter shock and disbelief for although they always believed in God, the higher power, spirits still haunting the earth unable to cross over and all they couldn't imagine this.
Then to learn that these two young men who are the Winchesters are what they call hunters and they actually hunt and kill monsters, from vampires, werewolves, ghosts etc. although both of them believed in witches and that some forms of the supernatural were out there but this had been too much. They drove down here all the way from Minnesota and couldn't in any way predict all of this.
"They are telling the truth Dean, I checked them out myself" said Castiel who still had some of his powers to see inside their heads.
"So what exactly do you want from us?" asked Sam whose voice was more friendly and calm.
"Just answers since this Darkness is big and will affect the world and from what I learned you two are linked to all of this somehow but how can that be?" asked Madame Bess.
Gwen who was quiet all this time finally spoke up, "We were hoping to get here sooner before, this all happened to let you know what we saw and figure out what to do later since you were part my visions, I even saw that huge black smoke head towards your car with you two inside" she said.
Both Sam and Dean just glanced at each other quickly as they had just happened earlier back in Nebraska.
"As my grandmother said your name came up at the séance but just how are you two a part of it' she asked.
Both of them were hesitant to say anything but Sam spoke up first.
"That is a very long story and it's hard to explain, it's too complicated' was all he could say.
"I just remembered something of Mark on your arm in my vision and could feel that also is important but how?" asked Madame Bess.
Dean felt even more awkward as he was now convinced they are how they say they are as they seemed to know a lot but he wasn't comfortable on how much they knew.
"Like my brother said, this is all complicated and too hard to explain" said Dean.
"Well you could explain it to us as we are not going anywhere any time soon, besides it can't be even more unbelievable than our story' said Gwen calmly.
"You will be quite surprised" said Sam as both he and Gwen glanced right at each at the same time and seen to be really noticing each other for the first time.
Gwen couldn't help feel a little at ease with this very tall dark-haired and quite good-looking man who had seemed to have an innocent face. Sam couldn't help take in quite attractive young brunette with pretty eyes, sweet face and was wearing a long white boho long-sleeved blouse with some flower decorations at the neckline, red trousers and had on her neck what looked like a purple crystal charm necklace.
Her grandmother Madame Bess looked like the stereotypical Medium as she called herself short and robust with a round face wearing brown decorated gypsy-type blouse, brown trousers and had on some exotic jewelry that included necklace, ear rings and rings on her fingers and despite being elderly, her hair had some shed of gray but is a short curly light brown.
"Try us anyway, we came a long way and I think we deserved to know what happened after all we just witnesses" said Gwen who once again glanced at Sam who glanced back at her at the same time and their eyes just met.
So finally Sam and Dean decided that they had nothing else to lose and tell these two strangers everything that has happened.
