Dean escaped purgatory with Benny four months ago.

Castiel escaped purgatory two months after.

Stiles was still trapped there...

Stiles POV:

Endless running. Endless fighting. That's purgatory. It's nothing like those books say. It's not a mountain to heaven; no, it a second hell. Not that I've ever been to hell but come on, it sucks in here. At least I don't get hungry; I would've been fucked a long time ago if that were the case. But apparently, it's a place where all the big bads go after death. I feel bad for Peter and Lydia if this is what awaits them. I miss my friends. I don't know how long I've been here, in purgatory, but it has to have been a month or two by now. I ache in every muscle, and I got blisters covering my hands where I wield my weapon. It's basically a giant tooth on a massive bone. It must belong to someone else.

Since it was already fashioned like this when I found it. But so far, through my search, I haven't found any other human. And I've been all over this place. I didn't see Dean or the angel, but I heard talk that they were here. But I have not been able to find them. Honestly, everyone, I run into attacks first, so after defending myself and probably killing all of them, I find myself with no answers all the time. I wonder how long I'm going to be here. Apparently, since I'm human, the monsters can smell me from far away and just come and attack me. I haven't died yet, so that's a plus. But how long do I have to stay here?

Sure I've become a better hunter, and I've gained more experience than I'll ever probably need in my whole life, but does that mean I have to stay here forever? I miss my family, I miss my pack, what are they doing without me? How long have I actually been gone? Does time move differently in purgatory? Have I been here for two months but like years out there? Or has it only been an hour since I left? These are questions that I don't have the answer to. But my biggest problem is, how the fuck do I get out of here?

I've gotten better at capturing the monsters without killing them. But I feel like it took me months to do that. It's not that I figured it out; it's that I got strong enough to capture without having to kill.

I don't like murdering the monsters, but it's kill or be killed here, and I'm not looking to die today. I haven't encountered many different monsters. The lot of them that come after me are the leviathans. The werewolves and vampires and all those spooky scary's in between tend to keep to themselves and to fend off against the leviathan themselves.

Here the werewolves run in packs, and the vampires have their little caves/dens. I tend to avoid the monsters that travel together; I've gotten good at fighting but not good enough to fight against a pack of wolves by myself. And I hope to never have to experience that or to be good at that. I like some monsters; hell, some of my friends are monsters. I'm not a hunter that goes around murdering everything I see. I'm not a typical Winchester, I guess.

I've been counting the days since being here and the first few weeks were me running around getting chased by people. After three weeks, I found the weapon by a stream. Maybe a month later, I started capturing monsters to get information out of them. And three months after that I finally got some useful information. Apparently, there's a portal to get out of purgatory, and only humans can exit. Apparently, a human soul isn't supposed to be here, and that's my ticket out.

I assume that is what Dean is heading to. Maybe he's already gone. But I don't know where the exact location is; I just know that it exists. I heard from a few monsters that I've captured that the werewolves know precisely where it is. Which is going to be a problem because they travel in gigantic packs. There is never one werewolf by itself. There are always at least six of them. I don't know how I'm going to capture six werewolves to interrogate and find out where this portal is, but that's my only option.

It took me two weeks to find the werewolves first off. They migrate all over the place traveling in big groups, not leaving any stragglers behind. I'm sure more than one Alpha died and came here, so I wonder who's leading in them all. Must be one badass wolf. I wonder if I could mention Peter or Derek and get in that way. But there are all different kinds of werewolves here. There are some like Peter's kind and some like the feral ones that Sam and Dean hunt all the time.

I was still lost on what to do, but it seems luck was on my side because my solution found itself in front of me. I was tracking the main pack of werewolves that consisted of like 70 wolves. I've been following them for two days trying to see when they separated into the smaller packs. Unfortunately, I was discovered because I wasn't as silent as I thought I was.

Though considering I was tracking werewolves, I could never be quiet enough. Unfortunately, I wasn't found by just one werewolf; I was found by seven, and one of them was the Alpha. The big bad wolf I was trying to avoid. I held my ground because what else could I really do, stand there and die?

The Alpha was an entirely shifted wolf—Black in color and honestly terrifying. There was a smaller brown wall next to it, also entirely shifted. And honestly, I thought today was my day of death. But before they decided to maul my face off, they shifted into the human forms, somehow fully clothed.

And surprisingly enough, I recognize the smaller wolf. What a weird fucking twist of fate. Standing before me was Laura Hale. I was sort of starstruck staring at her because it's derricks older sister who died and now she's here standing in front of me. What!

"Laura? What!" I apparently said it out loud, which got the attention of Laura and the Alpha.

"Why do you know my name?" She asked.

I didn't feel the need to lie to her; this might actually work in my favor if she's second to the Alpha. This could actually help me get out of alive.

"You're Derek's sister, Laura Hale. You died a few years ago in Beacon Hills." I said, being entirely truthful, can't lie to werewolves.

"You know, Derek?" This time the Alpha asks.

I nod my head,

"Yeah, he was my good friend. I saw him just before I came here to purgatory. We were fighting Leviathans together. Actually, killing the big boss leviathan is what I think landed me here."

Laura looked at the alpha wolf, seeming to wait on her judgment on what to do with me. I was trying to smile at least a little bit so that maybe it would help my chances of not dying today.

"You don't know me?" the Alpha asked.

I took a long look at her face, and I felt like it was familiar but not in like I knew the person, but I've seen the person before. But that could've been anyone. I see a lot of people. But her eyes kind of look similar, and her face structure kind of reminded me of someone I know. Her hair color... oh my god, this is Derek's mom. Talia Hale was standing in front of me.

"Oh uh, Mrs. Hale, sorry I didn't recognize you sooner. I never met you in person, so it took me a second."

Talia didn't look upset, but I didn't remember, so that's good. This whole time I was leaning against the tree because they found me while I was resting. So when Talia decided to take a seat in front of me, I slid down to the floor and just hoped the rest of this conversation would go well. Because I did not expect this to happen, and it was so freaking weird.

"So, how is my son?" Talia asks.

I'm just kind of shocked. It seems so normal and boring that this conversation surprised me to where I'm just speechless, but I feel like I can't speak because she's like the literal Alpha here.

"Oh, uh, Derek is fine. He's been fine." I don't really know what to say Derek and I are kind of on shaky ground at the moment with the whole break up thing.

I don't even want to tell his mother that I'm dating his son or was dating her son. I don't even wanna bring up Peter because he literally killed her daughter. Oh my god, this is a nervous breakdown waiting to happen.

"Derek is the Alpha, right?" Laura asked.

"Uh well, no, he's not the Alpha currently. He sort of gave it up to save Cora, as you know, your younger sister and daughter. She was poisoned, and he saved her that way. There's another alpha in Beacon Hills, though, an old friend of mine, he's a true alpha." I say, trying to skip over all the shit that happened in Beacon Hills.

"A true alpha, how rare. At least we Beacon Hills are in good hands. I sense that you're a human; how did you end up here exactly? I've never seen a human here before."

I nod, "Well yeah, I think it's an accident. As I said, the leviathans were in or on, shall I say earth, and they were rampaging and killing people and probably planning world domination or something. And my cousins and I and Derek and a few other people were trying to take them down. When we confronted the boss, after stabbing it with a weapon designed specifically to take it down, he became a portal. He started sucking everything leviathan back into purgatory. And apparently, if you stand a little too close, you also get sucked in. My cousin and I got sucked in along with a friend of his, but I haven't seen them throughout my time here. I heard there was a portal to get out of here. But I can't find it, or at least nobody will tell me where it is." I say, rambling for a bit longer than I intended to.

The werewolf alpha or Mrs. Hale contemplated for a little while and eventually decided to help me. It took a week to get to the portal. And it was infested with leviathans all over the freaking place. But luckily, with 70 werewolves at your back, nothing could stop you.

The whole journey to the portal was full of conversation between Derek and the Hale pack. And once we got there, Laura and Talia were friends, friends who scared me but friends nonetheless. I told them about Peter and how we're friends, and I guess through death, they forgave him and just missed him as a family like they do Derek and Cora.

The portal looks like something out of a cartoon, a swirling blue vortex.

Looking entirely scary. I had to say goodbye to the Hale's that looked after me, and it was a sad goodbye. Laura was a funny older sister, and Talia was a very strict sort of mother. But they were both very kind.

They let me see if we all the way to the portal, and just before I jumped in, I said goodbye with a tear in my eye. I promised them I would tell their family that they are still thinking about them and about how they forgive them and everything. And I jumped into that swirling blue portal, hopefully back into my own world.
