Old building/barn/ Dean's dream

Dean sees Uriel in front of him. How did he get here?...he was just with Bela, oh right.

"I'm dreaming?"

"It's the only way we could find you to talk, since you are hiding."

"Your off your leash." Dean told him. "Where's your boss?"

"He doesn't know I'm here...see, he's weak. He actually likes you two...especially you for some reason. Now, I want the girl."

"No. Not happening."

"She committed a crime, she has to be punished."

"What thinking for herself, oh yeah that's just terrible."

"Not your business, it's ours. She isn't one of you."

"Still not happening."

"Give us the girl or we'll..." Uriel started.

"What, throw us back in the pit? You're bluffing."

"Try me. This is bigger than you. Although really, we could send your little girlfriend back without you...she's just here because we were told she'd be helpful to you for some reason. Or maybe he just thought you needed a little plaything." Uriel smirked, making sure Dean knew he was aware of what had just happened."

"Well for starters, she isn't my girlfriend, and again, you wouldn't go against your orders."

"Oh the orders can change if you won't cooperate. Both of you can be replaced."

"Then do it."

"You're crazy enough to go back to hell? Too stubborn to just hand Anna over?"

"I don't break easy." Dean said.

"Oh I beg to differ...besides, you just have to know where to apply the right pressure? It was Sam...wasn't it? I'm sure I could think of something to do." Uriel said, smirking again.

Dean's face fell.

lllllllllllllllllllllllll

Dean woke up back in his car. Bela was sitting outside the impala leaning against the tire on a blanket.

"Hey." he said, getting out. He'd pulled his shirt back on and climbed out of the car. Bela tried not to think about how he looked before and his hands on her skin. She always knew he was a good looking guy and that if anything were to ever happen between them it'd be hot. It was, but it was different too. Slow in parts, almost romantic and sweet. That much she hadn't expected. If she was a hopeless romantic...she'd say it was near perfect.

But she didn't want to deal with it, hell if they did get sent back she wouldn't have to deal with it at all. It happened once, it was good...time to forget about it. Which was seemingly more difficult than either of them thoguht it would be. She'd needed those moments with him...because she wasn't afraid anymore. He wasn't scared of Dean and what he could do to her. She wasn't fearful that every guy was the same as her father. She'd needed Dean in that moment because he showed her what it was supposed to feel like. Showed her that he wasn't a monster. Every moment of him ripping her apart in hell was erased little by little that night. And that was what mattered. It didn't matter that this would never happen again, that they'd go back to being themselves and forget about everything they'd just done. The bigger part of this was that they both needed the release, the comfort, and friendship it brought them.

She looked up at him, and gave him a brief smile. "I was too awake, didn't want to wake you since I'm sure you don't sleep much."

He was surprised by her slight concern.

"Well that would've been great...except Uriel found me in my sleep."

"What? Does he know where we are?"

"No I don't think so, not yet."

"What did he say?"

"To give him Anna...threats as usual."

"There's more Dean." she stated, rather than asked.

He nodded. "He threatened Sam...hell he threatened both of us too. I mean he wants to send me back fine, but Sam never died."

She sighed.

"So...you look confused. Are you changing your mind?"

"I don't know...I don't want to, but isn't stopping Lilith more important?"

"You mean isn't your brother more important?" Bela questioned. Dean gave her a sad look.

"Well, that's too bad...because Sam called from the house before he got some sleep to tell me about a little plan...you in?"

He smiled at her. "Hell yeah."

She nodded.

llllllllllllllllllllllllll

Same Location as Dean's 'dream'

They'd all gathered...everyone but Ruby anyways...into the wooden building. There was nothing left to do but wait.

"I don't know about this. Where's Ruby?" Sam asked.

"Hey, she's your demon girl." Dean says, taking a swig from his glass.

"Little early for that, isn't it?" Anna commented.

Dean smirked a little.

"It's 2:00 a.m. somewhere."

"You okay?" she asked.

"Fine." Dean said.

Bela knew he was anything but fine.

"Uh huh."

Suddenly the doors open and the angels enter.

"Hello, Anna. It's good to see you." Castiel said.

"How? How did you find us?" Sam asked. Bela gave him credit, he was a good actor. "Dean?"

"I'm sorry." Dean whispered to Sam, and to Anna.

"Why?"

"Because they gave him a choice. They either kill me... or kill you. I know how their minds work." Anna said, playing along.

Anna was standing next to Bela who looked a little worried. She put her hand on Bela's arm reassuringly and walked over to Dean, reaching up and kissing him on the cheek.

"You did the best you could. I forgive you." Anna told him. She turned to Castiel. "No more more running.I'm ready."

"I'm sorry." Castiel told her.

The angels were about to take Anna when they were stopped by a voice.

"Don't you touch a hair on that poor girl's head."

"How dare you come in this room!" Uriel yelled.

"Turn around and walk away now." Castiel demanded.

"Sure. Just give us the girl. We'll make sure she gets punished good and proper."

"You know who we are and what we will do. I won't say it again. Leave now... Or we lay you to waste."

"Think I'll take my chances."

Anna is released and everyone starts fighting.

"Potestas inferna, me confirma. Potestas inferna, me confirma." Alastair began chanting after he got Castiel to the ground.

Dean, who along with Sam and Bela had stepped back to allow the angels and demons to fight, stepped up and knocked Alastair in the head with a crowbar. Alastair turned around angry, but then smiled.

"Dean... I am so disappointed. You had such promise." he said smirking.

Alastair attacks him. Bela looks worried and sees Dean flung into the post. She makes her way over to them, finding a the Knife Sam had lost earlier she tries to sneak up on Alastair.

"Don't even think about it bitch." Alastair said. He turns around. "Really? You. You aren't the least bit interested in watching your tormentor suffer?" Alastair taunted.

"Sure I am...but I'm thinking about you not him."

They all turn to see what is going on as Uriel cried out.

Anna had removed the necklace Uriel was wearing that held her grace.

"Everyone shut your eyes! Now!" she yelled out, and threw the necklace to the ground. It broke and released a blinding light, going straight into Anna's body.

Alastair disappears, along with Anna.

"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Go get Anna.. Unless, of course, you're scared." Sam said to Castiel and Uriel. All the other demons were dead.

"This isn't over.: Uriel promised.

"Yeah, it is." Dean replied.

The angels disappeared.

Sam found Ruby, who'd been obviously tortured by Alastair. He helped her up.

They all packed up and cleaned up Bobby's house. Bela found her keys and made her way for the door.

"Well I'm off...goodbye boys. No offense, but I hope it's a little while before we see each other again...considering everytime we do we nearly die."

They nodded.

Dean followed her outside. Clearly they were both going to just ignore what happened the previous night...and really, thats how they both operated right?

"So, you're not giving up on finding Lilith, stopping the whole seal breaking thing?"

"No...even if we're on our own. I'm not sure working for heaven is the best thing to do, but at the same time we can't Lilith win."

He nodded in agreement. Bela opened her car door, about to slide inside.

"Hey...thanks."

She gave him a confused look.

He continued. "For the pep talk, for forgiving me."

Then there was the unspoken things they didn't need to say. Thanks for last night. Thanks for taking away the pain, if only for a little while.

She nodded. "Dean, you can't keep it from Sam forever. I know we dealt with a lot of it, but you're still holding it all inside. I get it, I can't let go of it yet either...but you need to tell your brother. I don't understand family like you do, but I just know you have to find a way to talk to him about it."

He nodded again. "Yeah...I will, I just...I will." Dean said.

She smiled, and shut the car door, turned on the car and drove away. Dean watched her leave.

lllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Roadside/Outside Impala. Day

Dean and Sam were sitting against the car, beers in hand.

"Can't believe we survived." Dean said.

"Again." Sam commented.

"Sam...I'm not an idiot. I know you heard things he said."

"He? You mean Alastair?"

Dean nodded.

"Yeah, I heard him." Sam agreed.

"You aren't curious?"

"I'm not pushing." Sam told him.

Dean sighed. Bela was right, he had to talk about it. Coming from her, the woman of secret keeping...that meant something.

So Dean told him. Told him about the '40' years in hell, the torture, the breaking point. He said everything...although left out the part about Bela being his first victim.

Sam tried to be supportive and reassuring...but to Dean, that guilt inside, it didn't just go away with kind words. He still felt it, and it hurt. However, that hurt and guilt was what made him realize he was still alive.

End Chapter.
