Chapter 9
Dean felt something on his head, he slowly opened his eyes. Someone was rubbing his head so he looked up, immediately his eyes opened wide and he jumped out of his bed. His cell falling on the floor. Dean pulled the knife out from under his pillow and said, " What are you ?! " The person that was petting his head said, " Don't you recognize me ? I've missed you so much " he could tell it was a girl's voice. The lights were off so he could see a dark shape. Dean recognized the voice but he knew that it couldn't be her ... she was gone. Dean saw the dark shape extend and the lamp by his bed was turned on, his mouth dropped. " Your not real " he said, ready to cut her with his silver knife. " Dean it's me " , " no it's not your some supernatural thing that took the form of my dead girlfriend ! " , " if I wasn't really Alex then would I know this ? " Then she began to sing,
" Your a candle in a window
on a cold dark winter's night
and I'm getting closer than I
everthought I might I can't
fight this feeling anymore "
Dean stared at her for a few seconds, and he dropped his knife while saying, " Alex ?! ", tears coming into both of their eyes. " Yeah ... I'm back " Then Dean walked around the bed and wrapped his arms around her, she did the same. They stood like that for a long time, crying into each other. Happy to be together again, at last. When they seperated Alex began to talk but stopped because Dean had splashed holy water on her face. She stood there for two seconds, spat out what ended up in her mouth and said, " I'm not a demon either you know " , " I had to check, a demon could have known that song " , " I know .. towel please " Dean grabbed one from the bathroom and handed it to her. " Thank you " she said, wiping her face. Alex tossed the towel onto the bathroom floor as she walked in there. She immediately saw the hole in the wall and little drops of blood on it. Dean was standing in the doorway when she turned, both hands behind his back.
" Dean show me your hand " , " oookk ". He showed her the clean one. " The other one Dean ". He just stood there, staring at her. So Alex reached behind his back and pulled his arm out. " You know Dean just gauze won't do anything " , " I know " , " well I'm going to fix it " Alex went back into the other room and grabbed white bandages, tape and the towel she tossed onto the floor. She put water on one end of the towel. When she was set she sat cross-legged on his bed and patted the spot in front of her, signaling him to sit. Dean sat cross-legged in front of her and she unwrapped his hand as he said, " How'd you find me ? " , " I woke up in a pine box, barely able to talk and breath. Once I got out I was in the middle of nowhere " Alex cleaned his wound with the towel, he flinched. " Sorry ! " , " that's ok .. let me guess you rigged a deserted gas station and called Bobby ? " he said as she finished cleaning his wound and began to put on the white bandages. " Yeah how'd you guess ? " she asked, making eye contact. " I did the same when I got out " , " oh .. well after Bobby believed me he gave me a car and I found out where you two were and drove .. there you go " Alex had taped down the patches and rewrapped the gauze. Dean took his hand back, rubbing his sore knuckles and said, " How did you know we were here ? " , " are you kidding ? What don't I know about you two ! " Alex said as she cleaned up her mess, finally they climbed into bed together. Alex put her hand and head on his bare chest, he wrapped his arm around her. Dean held her hand with his other and put half his face on her head. " Is this really happening ? " , " yeah Dean it is " Dean closed his eyes as he said, " It feels so good to finally hold you in my arms again " Alex also closed her eyes while saying, " It feels really good to be held by you " , " I'm never gonna let go " , " I don't want you too " Dean kissed the top of her head then said, " I love you Al " , " I love you too " They finally fell asleep in each other's arms.
* It was dark, so very dark. She felt the cold table underneath her, the restraints bound her. Something was removed from her mouth and a searing pain followed. She was being emptied again, she couldn't hold back her screams. No words could describe this .. it was worse than torture. Once he finished he offered her a deal, for the past 25 years he'd been asking her the samething, to take souls. She told him to shove it up his ass. Suddenly she was whole again and it began again.*
