Crowley looked at the girl, she was passed out on the floor. Maybe he had thrown her just a little too hard. He let out a sigh before he set aside his drink and picked her up. She was lighter than he thought she'd be, and despite the fact she'd been in Hell, her hair smelled sweet like apples. He took her up the stairs and down the hall to an empty bedroom. She stirred slightly when he set her down and pulled the silk covers over her.
"What trouble." He said to himself, before he returned downstairs to his drink. When he sat down to watch some old footage, the lights suddenly went out.
'The Winchesters.' he thought to himself. 'Just when I thought I'd get some peace and quiet.''
Mina woke to the sound of two gunshots. She took in her surroundings as she got up from the bed. The walls were a dark, blood red with a fancy pattern of gold. There were two wall high windows that were covered by pure black curtains. Against the wall across from the bed was a vanity type dresser. Mina wandered over to it. On top of it she found a small jewelry type box. She was in about to look inside it when Crowley appeared next to her and grabbed her hand.
"Ever hear of look but don't touch?" He asked. "Come on, time to go."
They were suddenly gone from the mansion and in the living room of a very run down house. He pushed her onto the old couch and gave her a look that said stay before he went around the place putting up strange symbols on all the windows.
"There," He said when he finished. "What do you think Darling?"
"Suddenly Hell doesn't look so bad..." Mina muttered.
"Right.." Crowley said, "We still have business."
"No, we don't. I said no. Either put me back or kill me." She told him.
"There is no one I know as stubborn as you." Crowley said. "I'm only going to give you this deal once, and only three chances to answer. You help me, I'll give you your soul and life back."
"No." Mina spoke.
"That's one." Crowley warned. "I'll give you some time to think."
Before Mina could say anything against him, he disappeared without any trace. Her eyes wandered around the musty, dreary living room until her eyes rested on a cell phone that was on the broken coffee table. She quickly grabbed it and realized it was hers, without thinking she opened it and called Dan.
"Hello?" Dan's voice came through. Relief flooded through her the moment she heard his soft, Irish voice.
"Dan!" Mina said happily. "Is Chase okay?!"
"Chase is fine, but you're dead, You died Mina, you were buried and everything," Dan said. "I thought you were in Hell..."
"I was," Mina said. "You remember the Demon from the bar?"
"Aye." Dan replied.
"He got me out." Mina told him.
"Yeah?" Dan asked. "What's the catch?"
"I don't know. He wants me to help him." Mina answered. "You're sure Chase is okay?"
"Yes I'm sure Mina," Dan told her. "His cancer is gone and everything."
"Dan, should I take his deal?" Mina asked. "He said he'd return my soul and my life."
"And what'd he want in return?" Dan inquired.
"My help." Mina replied.
"Mina, I don't know what you should do." Dan said. "You need to choose for yourself."
"I'm just tired Dan, of everything." Mina said.
"I'd take it." Dan said. "What can he do, throw you in hell?"
Mina let herself laugh. Dan was always there for her, even after she'd died. She knew that Crowley had left her phone on purpose, so Dan would tell her to take the deal. She even knew that Dan would convince her. Mina put the phone back exactly where she had found it and laid down on the couch, falling asleep.
