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 64 An Emergency Call From An Old Flame
The next morning Dean and Sam were in the kitchen area of the bunker eating breakfast still a bit drowsy from last night. Afterwards, they headed to a room in the bunker that had the television set and just watched some TV. Dean admitted to himself he kind of envied their little brother Adam who not only met a hot chick but managed to go home with her while they went home with just each other. However, he did encourage Adam to go home with that girl and besides, his baby brother deserves to have some action since MIA trapped in Lucifer's cage for all these years now making up for lost time and he's quite happy for him. Sam was just sipping his coffee and glaring at the news on TV.
"I wonder how Adam is doing right about now?" he asked as he looked up from the newspaper.
"I'm sure Adam is doing about just fine, afterall he got to score with a hot blonde last night" said Dean with a smirk he was chewing his bacon.
Sam smirked right back.
"Yeah, I know" he said.
"I have to say our little brother is quite the charmer, got great taste in chicks and plus he had the looks and all, he definitely takes after me" said Dean slyly.
"Hold up there, maybe he takes after me, I'm not chop liver you know" Sam replied.
"Okay okay, our little brother takes after both of us, but he got the good looks and charm to attract the ladies from me" said Dean.
Sam just slightly shook his head. Just then Dean's cell phone started to ring as Dean had it with on the table just in case Adam called and he quickly picked it up and answered it. Sure enough it was Adam on the line.
"Hey, Adam glad you called how is it going" said Dean on the phone.
Dean continued to talk and Sam just sat there and listened as Dean smirked, laughed bit as he questioned Adam what happened last night and got the address of the girl. Afterwards, he let him know he would be there soon and got of the phone.
"So how is the little stud muffin?" asked Sam teasingly.
"Well, after that chick Darcy took her friend home, she took him home and well you know. Anyway, they just had breakfast and now he is ready for me to come and take him home. He gave me her address and location which isn't so hard to find since this Darcy chick lives not too far from the bar we were at" said Dean.
"So are you heading over there right this minute?" asked Sam.
"Well, there is no time like the present" said Dean who then got up from the table and headed towards his room and to get his car keys.
He really didn't feel like driving way out of town to that city this morning but he promised Adam he would pick him up the moment he was ready and he was keeping that word. After getting his car keys, the key to the bunker and a flashlight to see better in the dark, Dean said his goodbyes to Sam and headed out of the bunker. Sam remained behind as he didn't really feel like going, plus Dean didn't really need him there to get Adam. After finishing his coffee, he went and sat in the library area sat in front of his laptop hoping to find any news that could be their next case but no such luck. A part of him felt a bit relieved there wasn't a potential case right now since it gave him and Dean more time to spend with Adam who he knew was getting tired being in the bunker alone while they go galloping off god knows where. Maybe a longer break would be good for all of them he thought to himself and soon got up from his laptop. Just then Sam's own iphone started to ring as he had it in his pants pocket and he soon pulled it out.
"Hello?" he said wondering if it was Dean calling back for something.
"Hello Sam" said a familiar woman's voice.
Sam's eyes lit up upon hearing her voice. "Gwen?" he said.
"Yes Sam it's me" said Gwen.
"Oh my God, how are you are you okay?" he asked her his heart kind of racing as it was so good hearing her voice again and he suddenly was reminded how much he missed her despite their brief time in that parallel world for some reason it felt like it was so much longer.
"I'm fine Sam and so is my grandmother we are both doing okay" said Gwen.
"Then why did you call?" Sam asked wondering if something was wrong since as much as he was glad hearing from her he figured she wouldn't be calling unless something serious was up.
"Well, I have do have something to tell you" said Gwen and her voice sounded a bit awkward and Sam knew for sure something was wrong.
"What is it Gwen, are you and your grandmother in some kind of trouble?" asked Sam.
"No nothing like that, but I let's say I had another vision and it maybe something you want to know about" said Gwen.
Sam's eyes lit up again out of curiosity sensing this was something big form the tone of her voice. "What is this vision Gwen?" he asked.
"Well, recently I had this dream of a red-headed woman who was wearing a long black dress and she was reading from this book called the Book of Damned and prepared to cast some kind of spell, I don't know but it seemed like she was some kind of witch or sorceress and I sensed that this wasn't good. So yesterday I told my grandmother about it and felt it was something big and that evening, she talked to the spirits again" Gwen said frantic.
Sam's heart was racing even more as he knew that the red-headed woman described was none other than Rowena who still had the Book of Damned.
"Go on Gwen what did your grandmother find?" he asked her.
Gwen coughed a bit and then went on.
"Well, like usual she was in a brief trance and after it was all over, she told me she had seen the same thing but only more, images of people who were like zombies and a room filled with even more women like this red-headed woman. She was really nervous and said that this woman is doing to do something evil and destructive in the near future and the voices told her the book was pure evil. She warned me that the book needs to be recovered before it's too late whatever that means and we decided to call but unfortunately you weren't answering your phone, so we decided to try reaching you again this morning" she finished.
Sam paused for a few seconds as he felt bad about not answering the phone call as he had turned iphone that evening when he, Dean and Adam all decided to go out. He really didn't think much of it as he didn't think anybody would call him that night anyway plus he just wanted to relax and enjoy himself with his brothers but turned it back on early this morning when he got up just in case Adam called.
"Sam are you still there?" asked Gwen.
"Yes, I'm here" Sam told her.
"Anyway, this sounds like something up your alley and we felt you really needed to know this" said Gwen.
"Thank you for telling me Gwen, yes this is something we needed to know as I know the woman you are describing" said Sam.
"Really, Sam who is she?" Gwen asked.
"She's a witch we've been looking for and the book is something we need to get back" said Sam.
"Oh my" cried out Gwen.
"Look Gwen, in you and your grandmother's visions, did you happen to see where she is located, this is really important?" Sam said real sternly.
"As a matter of fact, my grandmother saw in her visions some images of where she is and it is just our luck that she happens to be residing in our hometown, right here in St. Paul" Gwen said.
Sam's heart really fluttered this really is the good luck they needed Gwen and Madame Bess seeing Rowena in their visions and she happens to be in the same city where they live.
"Sam, my grandmother can explain it more in person, please you and Dean come right away" she said.
"Don't worry we will be there soon just tell me your home address and directions, how to get there and all" Sam urged.
Sam grabbed a paper and pen and then started writing down Gwen's home address, the location and any directions on where to find it. After he was finished he and Gwen express how it was nice to hear from each other Sam promised again to get there soon and they said there goodbyes. Sam couldn't wait to share this news to Dean once he gets back. They finally found a lead on Rowena and from all people Gwen and Madame Bess and extra treat is Rowena is in Gwen and Madame Bess's hometown, this is the best news yet. They can finally catch Rowena and get the Book of Damned and the cordex back from her not before making her use the book to possibly find a spell to defeat the Darkness by getting the Mark of Cain back on Lucifer if that's possible, if not they can still get the book back and destroy Rowena so she can do anymore harm. Then there is the idea of seeing Gwen again. As much as he's invested in finding Rowena, Sam knew part of his excitement was that he'll be with her again, seeing her, talking to her etc remembering how much he has miss her. But he can't think about that right as he should only focus on Rowena.
About nearly an hour and a half had passed and soon Dean and Adam were back heading down the stairs with Dean holding a small bag of beer in his hand as it appeared they stopped by the liquor store on their way back. Both appeared in a good mood as they were still talking about Adam's night with Darcy and Adam having her phone number hoping to see her again. Dean then noticed the look on Sam's face is if something was troubling him.
"Hey, Sam what's up?' asked Dean curiously.
Sam just walked over to Dean and spoke in a soft tone.
"I need to have a word with you alone" he told him.
Seeing how seriously Sam looked Dean just said, "Oh yeah, sure".
Then Dean turned to Adam.
"Hey, Adam me and Sam need to have a word alone do you mind?" he said.
Adam still in a good mood just nodded.
"Okay whatever, I need to change anyway" he said and walked out.
He had started to get used to Sam and Dean's secret discussions knowing that it involved something supernatural and wasn't in the mood to argue so he just headed for his bedroom. Now that Sam and Dean were alone Dean faced Sam real seriously.
"Okay, Sam, spill it, did something happen when I was gone?" he asked him.
Sam just took a breath prepared to tell him the news.
"Well, sometime after you left, I got a call from Gwen" Sam said prepared for Dean's response.
Dean's eyes lit up.
"Gwen, I mean what did she want, is there something wrong?" Dean asked.
"Gwen told me she and her grandmother are doing okay and all but she called me because she received serious visions" Sam said.
"Well what, I mean did she see the end of the world, the sky falling or something" Dean asked urgently as he sensed this was real serious.
"No nothing like that but she did see a vision as it turns out Rowena of all people" Sam told him.
Dean's eyes really lit up this time nearly popping out of sockets.
"What, Rowena, where, I mean when!" Dean cried out.
"Calm down Dean, she saw a vision of Rowena about to use The Book of Damned for some kind of spell. So she told her grandmother who decided to talk to the spirits again from what Gwen told me. Well, anyway, Madame Bess apparently saw visions of Rowena and even more vision people around like zombies. She sensed whatever Rowena was about to do was really evil and the book is evil and dangerous and all so they felt they should contact us about it" Sam explained.
Dean couldn't believe their luck, they were hoping to find Rowena all this time now and it turns out Sam's one-time physic girlfriend and her grandmother saw her in their visions he just couldn't believe it. Dean's face suddenly looked excited.
"Damn, do you know what this means Sam, we have finally track down that vixen and all thanks to your little psychic girlfriend and her psychic granny, this is great!" he said as he grabbed Sam by the lower shoulders in excitement.
Sam just lightly removed Dean's hand.
"Well it gets even better, it turns out Madame Bess saw in her visions that Rowena happens to in their hometown in St. Paul Minnesota. Dean's eyes lit up again.
"This is great Sam, can our luck keep getting any better" he cried out in joy. "Did she say where Rowena is exactly?" he asked.
"No, we didn't get to discuss that but it doesn't matter because I told her we will be up their soon and Madame Bess can tell us more about her visions" Sam said.
"Well, Sam that settles it we got head up there!" he said.
"And we will Dean, we can head there early tomorrow morning, Gwen gave me their address and all" he said.
"Perfect" said Dean.
Later that day, when Adam had showered and change into some new clothes and came back out to fill Sam in all the details at Darcy's place, but they stopped him to tell him the news. Once again Adam was annoyed that they were heading out again tomorrow but he decided not to make an issue about it since he had to learn to get used to his happening from now on.
"The only thing is, I was going to ask you if I could borrow your car to visit Darcy once and awhile" he said.
"No chance in hell" cried out Dean.
"Oh man, I really need my own car" said Adam even more annoyed.
"Hey, don't worry stud-muffin, once we get back I'll personally drive you to Darcy's whenever you want to go. In the meantime there's always the bus" Dean said jokingly.
"Oh great, Darcy will really thing I'm such a loser" Adam shaking his head.
"Hey, don't worry Adam, if this girl really digs you it wouldn't matter if you had your own wheels right now, besides you can always make up a story, say your car is in the shop or something" said Sam.
Dean turned to Sam.
"Oh, so now you teaching the kid to lie to chicks, you are really setting a bad example Sammy" said Dean sarcastically.
"Well, what can I say, I guess you rubbed off on me over the years" Sam retorted back sarcastically.
"Okay you guys cool it. Anyway it's okay, I guess I'm really bummed is I'm going to stuck alone in the bunker again just when I was looking forward to hanging out with you guys some more" Adam said.
"Well look Adam, when we get back I promise we will hang out as much as you, In fact after dealing with this latest thing, we will do exactly what you want you just name it" said Sam. "
I'm going to hold you two to that" said Adam smirking.
Sometime later, Sam called Gwen back since he still had her phone number she gave them the last time he saw her, and told her that both he and Dean are coming there tomorrow and call him again if she or Madame Bess gets another vision. They then spent the rest of the day hanging out in the bunker not going out this time and ate a bunch of TV dinners and beer for supper. All three of them retired for bed early that night for their trip tomorrow morning. The next morning, they got up quite early, showered got dressed had a quick breakfast, cereal and orange juice and then Sam and Dean prepared for their trip.
"Take care Adam, and hopefully we won't be away too long" said Dean. "
Yeah, take care Adam" Sam repeated.
"I will I think you guys need to take care, and come back in one piece like before" said Adam.
"Don't we always?" Dean replied.
Then Sam and Dean headed out to the garage. Soon the two hopped into the Impala.
"So are you ready to see your main squeeze again" Dean teased.
"Dean, she is not" said Sam almost laughing.
"Sure she is, or you wish her to be" Dean winked.
"Oh shut up" said Sam.
"Okay lets go Romeo" said Dean as they drove off and within seconds they were driving through the dirt road in the dark sky heading for their destination.
