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 11 Still Waiting, Bonding and Tensions.
Time seem to passed on quite quickly without anyone noticing. Dean continued his bonding moment with Ava as they got to know each other better. At the same time Sam was getting to know Gwen better as they communicated to each other.
"So, how long did you know that you had this gift?" he asked her.
"I've first learned about it as a little girl when I started having these visions of events before they happened. Sometimes I would even have these recurring dreams of major events which would happen maybe days or weeks later. I guess I always knew I was different from the other kids" she told him.
Sam just looked at her with such curiosity and intrigue.
"That must have been weird for you" he told her.
"It was. I felt like such a freak at first, but I learned that this ability ran in my family. My mother had it and my grandmother is a medium she has more powers than I do" said Gwen.
"'I don't mean to pry too much but what happened with your parents, I mean is it just you and your grandmother?" asked Sam more curiously.
"Yes, my parents died years ago, killed in a bus accident" Gwen said.
"I'm so sorry" said Sam with a sympathetic look.
"Anyway, my grandmother has raised me since and I help her with her business as a medium. Basically, she is all that have" said Gwen.
"I can relate. I mean both of my folks are dead now and it is just me and my brother Dean, we are also all that we have" said Sam.
"May I ask how did you two become these monster hunters, as you call it?" Gwen asked herself quite curious and fascinated with this whole hunters thing.
"We were raised into it, I mean my mother was also raised a hunter but quit after she married my dad. My mother was killed when I was just a baby, and my father decided to become a hunter and brought me and Dean up into it" said Sam.
"Oh, that must have been very unusual for you" said Gwen still quite amazed.
"You don't have any idea. We would travel around a lot while our dad went on his hunting missions, he also taught us everything we know about hunting" said Sam.
"Did you ever wish just to be normal?" asked Gwen.
"Yes, plenty of times, in fact I even left my family to go to college so I could have normal life. But I got lured back into it, and now hunting my life. I can't imaging doing anything else now" said Sam.
"I understand, I too wished I could just be just like every one else. Sometimes this gift felt like curse, but now I mostly see it as a blessing, thanks to my grandmother. She helped me see that I was special and that I should embrace the gift rather than feel sorry for myself" said Gwen.
"Well, I agree you are quite special" said Sam, not really understanding what possessed him to say that as he barely knows her.
Gwen just looked at him and smiled feeling more comfortable in his presence during the passing time.
Then she asked, "You know, I may be prying too much again, but I can help but ask what's the deal between you and your brother?" she asked him.
"What do you mean?" asked Sam.
"I mean I couldn't help sense some tension between the two of you" said Gwen.
"What makes you said that?" asked Sam.
"Well, I may be a psychic, but it I also have an ability to read people and I don't need any psychic abilities to sense there is some animosity between you and your brother" said Gwen.
Sam just had an uncomfortable look and seemed to hesitate to answer.
"You don't have to answer, I know I'm prying too much" said Gwen.
"No, that's okay. You're right, there is some trouble between me and Dean, but it is rather complicated" was all Sam could say.
'Does it have to do with this Darkness thing?" she asked.
"Yes, partly and some other things, that I don't want to get into right now" said Sam.
Deciding to change the subject Gwen said, "You know, I think it would be time for me and my grandmother to get going. Maybe we could check into a motel tonight".
"No, you two can't leave jut yet, I mean it is still too dangerous and we don't know how dangerous it could be. Besides, after what we watched on the news it's definitely not safe to try to drive anywhere" said Sam.
"Come on, we over stayed our welcome, I know you're brother seems to want us gone, not that I blame him but we can't stay here indefinitely" she told him.
"I know, but we feel kind of responsible you being here. You drove all this way just to warn as about what was about to happen which we are kind of responsible for it happening. I insist you stay here just a little while longer until we can figure this out. We have extra rooms, this bunker is quite large and don't worry about Dean, he'll feel the same way" said Sam.
"I still don't want to put you out you have done enough already and don't blame yourself for us being here, it's not your fault we chose to come" said Gwen.
Sam didn't want to argue about this so instead he firmly told Gwen, "Gwen, please just listen to me on this. It really would be best if you stayed for now. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to the two of you because of what we started. I promise it will be alright".
With that all Gwen could say was "Alright Sam, I guess we could stay longer".
Sam smiled with was more than just relief he felt. As he looked into Gwen's face and her pretty grey eyes, he couldn't help feel quite drawn to her. Sam was quite comfortable opening up to her about his family, his life as a hunter despite her being a stranger. He also couldn't help notice her lovely face with her long dark chestnut brown hair going past her shoulders in smooth waves and her ice-cream complexion like a porcelain doll with her beautiful grey eyes that looked right into his and her angelic smile.
He now just began to realize just how beautiful she really was and what they had some in common with their backgrounds. They both grew up feeling like freaks with their unusual family and desired just be normal and eventually accepting and embracing who they really are. They both continued chatting for while then Sam went into another room to get more drinks and snacks. Then Madame Bess approached Gwen noticing the bonding moment between.
"You two were getting quite close" she said.
"It was nothing grandma don't make anything of it" said Gwen knowing her grandmother would make a big deal about her little conversation with Sam, making it seem like something more than it really was but it was just a conversation nothing more she told herself.
"Okay" said her grandmother although she knew that it was more than just a simple conversation between two people as she too had the ability to read people without her psychic powers and could read her granddaughter well.
While Dean and Sam continued their bonding moments with their two pretty guests, Castiel who had stepped out of the room ran into Hannah who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Hello Castiel" she said.
"Hannah, your back, how is it going with your army?" asked Castiel.
Hannah had a concerned look on her face.
"Well, we have problem. It seems some of the angels have revolted" Hannah explained.
"Revolted, why?" asked Castiel.
"Mainly, they are scared. They don't know what their up against, and the heard about how God and the archangels couldn't defeat Darkness, so they don't see them having a fighting chance. They rather run away and hide rather than risk their lives over new threat they no nothing about" said Hannah.
"I'm sorry to hear all that, but you are still going along with your plans to open up Lucifer's cage to release Michael and Lucifer?" asked Castiel concerned.
"Yes, that will happen soon, although I still have some concerns with this plan but God insist we do this even though it has a lot of risks. But I guess we all are risking our lives in facing this Darkness" said Hannah.
"Of course you will keep your promise in making sure Michael releases Adam and finds a new vessel?" asked Castiel.
"Yes, of course. Once they're out of the cage, we will get Michael to find a new human vessel so your friends don't have to worry" she said impatiently.
Castiel could tell that there was something else on her mind that worried her.
"Hannah is there anything else you're not telling me?" he asked her.
"Well, there is problem regarding your friends, the Winchesters. It seems some angels who have heard about their part in releasing the Darkness are very upset with them and may want seek revenge" said Hannah.
"What, who?" cried Castiel in a distressed tone.
"Some are fallen angels who went rogue and others are the ones that revolted and chose to fall to earth instead. Then there are some reapers who are angry about Dean killing Death which is now causing some chaos and could possibly ruin the natural order. From what I've learned, they won't stop and rest until they seek your friends out and exact their revenge" said Hannah.
"I've got to warn Sam and Dean" was all Castiel could say.
"Wait, it's not just the angels that want revenge. It seems the demons are also running scared of this new Darkness. Many of them also hold Sam and Dean responsible and want payback as well" she said.
"Where did you hear of this?" asked Castiel.
"I've heard it from other angels who heard it from some fallen angels on earth. It appears some demons are in hiding now that Darkness has come as it appears a threat to them too although I don't know how" she told him.
"Well, this building will ward off any supernatural beings from entering including angels and demons without the key that is unless they already entered this place said Castiel.
"What about Crowley, you told me he has been in this place before" Hannah wondered.
"Crowley won't harm them" said Castiel.
"How can you be so sure of that?" asked Hannah.
"Because he helped us find a spell to remove the Mark of Cain from Dean, besides he seem to have soften towards Dean in some ways, although I still wouldn't trust him".
"Castiel, he is still a demon and the King of Hell, whatever his feelings for Dean was, it might changed because of this Darkness.
"You may not want to take that chance" she answered. "Besides, there are other concerns" she continued.
"What concerns might that be?" asked Castiel.
"This Darkness, it is affecting humans in a lot of different ways" Hannah responded.
"I know, I saw it on television how destructive it is" said Castiel.
"It has gotten only worse. Humans are becoming violent and out of control attacking each other killing each other, many are becoming paranoid, others are committing mass destruction. This Darkness seems to bringing out the worse in each other and I don't know how it's affecting people on other parts of the world yet. Of course, many are affected by it more than others so we don't know how long it would take until it affects your friends" she told him.
"So, you are saying that Sam and Dean could also become affected by this Darkness and become like those humans too" asked Castiel who now more concerned than ever.
"That could be the case Castiel, but we don't know when and how it will affect them" said Hannah.
"Then please Hannah, you have help them"" said Castiel urgently.
"I don't know if I can besides, I have other responsibilities right now" said Hannah.
" I know how you feel about them but they're still my friends, so I'm urging you please help find a way to protect them from this Darkness" cried Castiel now with desperation inn his tone.
As much as Hannah resented the Winchesters and blamed them for the recent events besides the fact she feels that they're a hindrance in Castiel's life, she could help be moved by her fellow angel's plea.
"Okay, I got an idea but I don't know if your friends are going to like it" she said.
"Anything, I don't care just help me protect them" cried Castiel.
Then all of the sudden the two angels heard loud arguing coming from where Sam and Dean were with their guest.
"Stay here" Castiel told her and then he left go back into the room and when he did he found Sam and Dean at each other with some much anger and hostility that felt out of nowhere.
"Well, if you had just listened to me in the first place, none of this would have happened. Darkness wouldn't have come, Charlie would still be alive. You know what Sam this is all your Damn fault! You just couldn't just let it go, you had to be the hero who was going to fix it all!" yelled Dean in Sam's face.
"Oh really, well what about you Dean? I mean you are the one who had to get the Mark of Cain so you could be the big hero who killed Abaddon. You always have to be the hero so don't you dare judge me. I was just trying to save you and this is all I get!" Sam yelled back.
"Please you two, this isn't a time to argue" cried Gwen.
"You just stay out of it Sweetie, you have nothing to do with you it's bad enough already to have to suddenly shelter the fortune telling family duo and Lara Tomb here!" Dean yelled.
"Hey, don't you yell at her!" Sam yelled back.
"Hey you all can leave me out of this. I didn't ask to come here, you two insisted!" yelled Ava.
Dan and Sam almost seemed close to throwing blows when Castiel interrupted them.
"All of you stop it right now, this isn't helping!" Castiel yelled out to get their attention.
They all stopped and looked at him.
"I understand your frustration but turning against one another and throwing out blame won't do you any good. We need to work together more than ever if we want overcome this" said Castiel trying hard to be the voice of reason.
Both Sam and Dean calmed down feeling suddenly guilty not knowing what possessed them to have so much anger.
"We're sorry Cas" said Dean.
"Yea real sorry" said Sam.
Dean then turned to the women and said, "I'm sorry everyone. I don't understand what came over me there" he explained remorsefully.
"That's okay dear, I guess this is all finally taking affect on you and you just lashed out we understand" said Madame Bess trying to keep the peace.
"Sam, Dean, I would like the word with you two in the other room if that's alright" said Castiel.
"Okay, fine Cas" said Dean as the three of them went into the other room where Hannah was.
