Chapter 2

These Wounds Won't Seem To Heal

2 days earlier

Sam and Lys had been trying to track Lilith for months but just as they were about to close in on some demons in Tennessee, something changes and the demons fled back to Pontiac but Sam and Lys were still hot on their trail, "What the hell is going on Sam? I mean what are they running from or should I saw toward?"

"I wish I knew Lys but I have a bad feeing about this. Something isn't right." Sam said as he gripped the steering wheel of the impala tighter. He wanted Lilith dead as did Lys. It was the one and only goal they had after failing time after time to save Dean and Candy.

Once they reach a small abandoned house in Pontiac, Sam and Lys got out of the car and walked inside, "Where are you, you fucking piece of shit!" Lys yelled out.

"We know you're in here so stop hiding." Sam seethed and it wasn't long before a man came walking around the corner, "About damn time."

The demon smiled between the couple as he approached them, "So we finally meet but I hate to tell you but you will never find Lilith."

"Wanna bet." Lys said and raised her hand, causing the demon the fly against the wall, "I think I am finally getting better at this Sam."

Lys continued to hold him there was Sam walked over to him, "Tell us where she is and we may just let you live."

"What are you two going to do huh? Send me back to hell? Lilith will just bring me back but while I there I will be sure to tell Dean and Candy you said hello. I bet they are dying to here from you." The demon laughed, further pissing off Sam and Lys.

"Fuck You!" Lys yelled as her grip got tighter, "Where we are sending you, not ever Lilith can save you. We aren't sending you back to hell; we're going to kill you." Lys said. She felt the demon began to struggle and she found it hard to keep him pinned, "Ok we need to hurry."

"Tell us where she is!" Sam yelled

"Go to hell!" the demon snapped back.

"I'm already there." Sam said right before raising his hand to the demon.

Lys stood back and watched as Sam pulled the demon from the body and the black cloud of smoke flame up and vanish, "That's to bad we had to kill him. We could have used the extra fuel."

Sam walked over to her and kissed her lightly, "Are you feeling ok Lys?"

"Yeah its just it takes a lot out of me sometimes."

"Ok well how about we stay here for the night. I still have a feeling something is up in this town. He wasn't here just on vacation."

"I think that sounds like a great idea Sammy plus you know how hot I get when I see you kill one of those fucking bastards." Lys said and ran her hand up his chest.

"Oh baby I know it." Sam said, kissing her hard in the lips.

Present Day- Pontiac

Dean walked from the bathroom holding a cold, wet washcloth. He walked over to the bed where Candy was still lying unconscious. Dean took a seat next to her and squeezed the rag over her face, letting the water drip slowly onto her, "Candy? Hey baby can you hear me?" Dean asked rubbing her face with his hand.

Candy had her eyes closed but could here the mumbling over someone but couldn't yet make out who it was. She slowly opened her eyes and the room was blurry, "Wh…What happened?" she asked in a raspy voice.

When she turned her head slightly to the left, she saw someone sitting next to her on the bed. "Welcome back legs." She heard the man say. Candy rubbed her eyes, trying to clear her vision and when she opened them once again, she was stunned by who she saw, "Hey beautiful."

She felt like she couldn't breathe. She sat up quickly and jumped off the bed, "What? How?" she asked grabbing her gun from the bag on the floor.

"Whoa wait Candace. It's really him."

"No…no no. It can't be. He's…I mean..." She tried to get words out but she couldn't. Was this really Dean? "How are you alive?"

"I wish I knew baby," Dean said as he walked closer to her only to have her back away.

"Stay right there." She said pointing the gun at him.

He was hurt back her actions but he knew she had every right to be scared after what he had done to her in hell. That was something you just don't get over. He didn't want to rush her so he stopped, "Listen, I don't know how I am here. All I remember is I just woke up in a pine box. I don't remember how I got there."

Candy lowered her gun when she looked into his eye. This wasn't the man she married or fell in love with. The man that stood in front of her was broken and she knew exactly why, "Dean?"

"Yeah. It's really me Candy."

She sat the gun slowly on the bed and walked over to him but yet he didn't move.

They were now standing face to face. The last time she looked into his eyes was the night her ripped her apart, showing no mercy. Deep down she knew he had to do it. It's what she would have done to save the soul of their daughter.

Dean raised his hands to touch her but she only moved back a little and flinched. He knew she had to be the one to come to him.

Candy raised her hand and placed it on the side of his face. Dean just closed his eyes and leaned against it, "I'm….I'm glad you're ok Dean." She said quietly and moved in closer to him, wrapped her arms around him softly. It wasn't a loving hug that a husband wife would normally share and Dean knew that.

"Me too. You don't know how good it is to see you again after…."

"We need to find Lys and Sam." Candy interrupted him. This was not a conversation she wanted to have in front of Bobby or even at all, "So Bobby, when was the last time you saw them." Candy asked, backing away from Dean.

"The night we buried you if when they took off."

"Well what did they say?" Dean asked

"Nothing."

"What do you mean nothing?" Dean asked as Candy moved over to sit on the bed. She had begun to feel a little light headed but that was understandable after the day she has had.

"They were quiet. Real quiet. And then they just took off. Wouldn't return my calls. I tried to find them, but they didn't want to be found."

"Oh, damn it, Sammy and Lys." Dean said and looked over to Candy who was still sitting on the bed looking pale.

"What?" asked Bobby

"Oh, they got us home okay. But whatever they did, it is bad mojo."

"What makes you so sure?"

"You should have seen the grave site. It was like a nuke went off. And then there was this... this force, this presence, I don't know, but it, it blew past me at a fill-up joint. And then this. " He took off his jacket, pulls up his sleeve to reveal a red hand print on his shoulder and Candy got off the bed.

"What in the hell is that Dean? She asked and was about to touch it when she stopped herself.

Dean looked at her with sadness in his eyes. She didn't trust hit yet and he didn't want to push. He looked back to Bobby, "It was like a demon just yanked me out. Or rode me out."

"But why?"

"To hold up their end of the bargain."

"Then why doesn't Candy have one?" Bobby asked and she turned away, "Wouldn't Lys have mad the same deal?"

"I uh…I don't know."

Bobby knew something more was going on between those two but he felt it wasn't his place to step in just yet, "So You think Sam made a deal?"

"It's what I would have done." Dean said and Candy looked at him. She knew all to well the lengths Dean would go to for his family.

"Ok so how do we find them now? They could be anywhere." Candy said.

"I'll just track his phone." Dean said as he called the phone company, "Yeah, hi, I have a cell phone account with you guys, and uh, I lost my phone. I was wondering if you could turn the GPS on for me, Name's Wedge Antilles, Social is 2-4-7-4."

Candy was sitting at the computer waiting on the GPS to come up and as soon as it Dean she looked up at Dean, "They are here in Pontiac."

"Right where we were buried. Hell of a coincidence, don't you think?"

Candy grabbed her jacket and followed Bobby toward the door. Just as she was about to walk out, Dean stopped her, "Hey….uh…I think that maybe we…."

"Dean lets not do this now ok. Lets just find our pain in the ass sibling and figure out what they hell they have gotten their selves into this time."

Once the three arrived at the motel, they walked up to the room door, So should we just knock?" Candy asked, "What are we going to say to them?"

"I don't know. Hey?" Dean said.

"Hey? Just…Hey?" she asked looking at him.

"Well what do you think we should do, sing them a song?" Dean said just as they reached the door, "I'm going with hey."

"Do you think they are even still here?" Candy asked and just as Dean knocked and the door opened and they saw Lys standing there, half dressed, looking at them, "Hey Lys." Candy said, "It's good to see you."

Dean looked over to Candy, "See, my idea was better."

Lys stood there in shock, never moving from her spot, "Sa…Sam!" she called out, "I think you better get in here like right fucking now!"

"What Lys?" As Sam walked about of the bathroom, he saw Dean, Candy and Bobby at the door. He was speechless. Dean stepped passed Lys and into the motel room, "Hey Sammy, "

As Dean got closer, Sam pulled a knife and lunged at Dean. Candy screamed just as turned to her and punched her in the face, "You Bitch!" Lys yelled hitting her again.

"Who are you?" Sam yelled.

"Like you didn't do this?" Dean replied and Bobby pulled Sam from him.

"Do what?"

Lys looked over at Sam and Candy was able to roll out from under her and run over beside Dean.

"It's them. I've been through this already, it's really them."

Sam and Lys stared at them, "I know. We look fantastic, huh?" Dean said moving closer to Sam.

"But how?" Lys asked looking at Candy.

"We aren't really sure but…" Before Candy could finish, Lys wrapped her arms around her sister as Sam did the same to Dean.

At this moment they didn't care how they were back. They were just glad they had their brother and sister home.

Lys went into the bathroom and got dress and took Candy with her. She didn't want to let her out of her sight, "Lys do I really need to be in here with you? I'm not going anywhere." Candy said, "Plus I really don't care to see full frontal Lys right now."

"I know it's just that…" Lys began to cry and Candy pulled her little sister who had changes so much into her arms, "I missed you so much Candy."

"Shhh….I know but its all going to be ok. I am here now."

Lys pulled back and her eyes moved to Candy's stomach, "If you are back and Dean is back then does that mean that…"

"Lys I don't really want to talk about it but….I don't think so."

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

"I'm here now and that's what matters."

Sam sat down on the bed and started putting his shoes on. Dean was standing next to him, arms crossed. He and Bobby were both looking at Sam suspiciously, "So tell me, what'd it cost?"

"Dean that's an awful thing to say about Lys"

"That's not funny, Sam. To bring me back. What'd it cost? Was it just your soul, or was it something worse?"

"You think I made a deal?"

"That's exactly what we think." Bobby said, "Or maybe it was just Lys."

"Well, I didn't make a deal and neither did Lys alright."

"Don't lie to me." Dean said.

"I'm not lying."

"So what now, I'm off the hook and you're on, is that it? You're some demon's bitch-boy? I didn't want to be saved like this!"

"Look, Dean, I wish I had done it, all right?" Sam said standing face to face with Dean.

Dean grabbed Sam by the front of his shirt, "There's no other way that this could have gone down. Now tell the truth!" he snapped just as Candy and Lys walked out of the bathroom.

"Dean what the hell?" Lys said.

"We tried everything. That's the truth. We tried opening the Devil's Gate. Hell, we tried to bargain, Dean, but no demon would deal, all right? You two were rotting in Hell for months. For months, and we couldn't stop it. So I'm sorry it wasn't me, all right? Dean, I'm sorry." Sam said sadly.

"It's okay, Sammy. You don't have to apologize, I believe you."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that Sam and Lys's soul remains intact, but it does raise a sticky question."

"If he didn't pull me….us out, then what did?" Dean asked

Candy looked over at her sister who was looking at Sam, "Lys, are you sure there is nothing you want to tell us?"

"No. We didn't do anything I swear but I would have if I could and that's no lie. Candy you died for me and I have been more than willing to do the same."

"So then what were you two doing around here if you weren't digging us out of our grave?"

"Well, once we figured out we couldn't save you, we started hunting down Lilith, trying to get some payback."

"Yeah but the bitch keeps running." Lys said as she sat next to Sam and grabbed a beer.

"All by yourself. Who do you two think you are, your dads?" Bobby asked.

"Uh, yeah, I'm sorry, Bobby. We should have called. We were just pretty messed up after everything." Lys said and grabbed Sam's hand.

Dean picked up a pair of fuzzy hand cuffs and looked at them, "Oh yeah. I really feel your pain."

"Anyways, uh, we were tracking these demons out of Tennessee, and out of nowhere they took a hard left, booked up here."

"When?"

"Yesterday morning."

"When I busted out." Dean said and looked at Candy.

"Wait when you busted out?" Lys asked, "So when did you get back Candy?"

Candy glanced at Dean who she knew was worried but she would never tell anyone why she was back before him, "Just a few weeks ago and I don't know why I was out before Dean."

"You think these demons are here 'cause of you?" Bobby asked them trying to change the subject as he could see Candy and Dean were uncomfortable.

"But why?"

"Well, I don't know….. some badass demon drags me out and now this? It's gotta be connected somehow."

"How are you two feelin', anyway?" Bobby asked.

"I'm a little hungry." Dean said.

"I'm a little nauseous." Candy said, "but I could eat."

"No, I mean, do you feel like yourselves? Anything strange, or different?"

"Or demonic? Bobby, how many times do we have to prove its us?"

"Yeah. Well, listen. No demon's letting you two loose out of the goodness of their hearts. They've gotta have something nasty planned."

"Well, I feel fine." Dean said.

"Okay, look, we don't know what they're planning. We got a pile of questions and no shovel. We need help." Sam said.

"I know a psychic. A few hours from here. Something this big, maybe she's heard the other side talking."

"Hell yeah, it's worth a shot."

"I'll be right back" Bobby said and walked out of the room.

"So uh…. You probably want this back." Sam said and handed Dean his necklace.

"Thanks."

"So Candy…what was it like?" Lys asked Candy.

"What?" Candy asked.

"Hell."

Dean heard the girls conversations and turned and was met with Candy's eyes and she just gave him a sad, don't worry smile, "I don't know, I, I must have blacked it out. I don't remember a damn thing."

"Yeah me either." Dean said and looked at Sam.

"Well, thank God for that." Sam said and those words caught Candy's attentions. What if…Maybe….no it could be. Why would God save them? Was the Heaven she was in real? They needed to get answers and fast before something else unexpected happened to them but then again, what could be worse than hell?
