Chapter 2

After returning to Hell, Rowena enters the room where Crowley keeps his bones.

"Well I doubt you'll be needing these anymore," she says with a smile on her face.

Before Rowena can use her magic to destroy Crowley's bones she hears a fight suddenly break out in the next room.

"What the heck is going on in here?" She asks as she looks over to find blue smoke coming from several demonic ashes below.

Rowena takes a step back as she looks over to find the man responsible sitting on the throne.

"Who the heck are you?"

The man sitting on the throne lifts his head as he stands up and walks over towards Rowena. With a grin on his face he looks her in the eye and says, "You can call me Marv."

"I heard about you. I thought those Winchesters killed you."

"They locked me in Heaven's prison, but it seems even they have a few kinks in their armor that they should probably deal with."

"What exactly is it that you are doing here?"

"Rumor has it that you are involved in taking the mark off Dean Winchester."

"He couldn't be killed so long as that curse was on his arm."

"That may be true," says Marv as he walks pass Rowena and turns around to face her again. "But I doubt that's the only reason why you helped the boys."

"Well in return, Sam Winchester was supposed to kill my son."

"Yet even though he botched that up, you still helped them and I sincerely doubt that you had no idea of the consequences for removing the mark."

"What are you saying?"

"Isn't it obvious? asks Marv as he takes a few steps closer to Rowena. "I'm saying that, for some reason, you wanted The Darkness to rise again I just can't put my finger on why."

While the brothers continue driving across the state, it becomes painfully obvious they are too far behind The Darkness. As they look out the windows they see nothing but destruction as far as the eye can see. Dean tightly grips the steering wheel and pulls over on the side of the road.

"Damn it, Sam," says Dean as he gets out of the muddy Impala.

"No, Dean don't you go blamming all of this on me," replies Sam as he too gets out of the car.

"On who then?!" yells Dean as he looks at Sam with the car in between them. "I told you to leave it alone. As much as I wanted the damn thing off of my arm, I was willing to live with it. Do you realize the damage you've caused just because you didn't listen to me?"

"Dean."

"I'm not even going to mention Charlie again, but look around you, Sam, life as we know it is about to be blown away by The Darkness." Dean rests his hands on the car while facing Sam. "You know we used to say the family business was saving people. That no matter what each day brought, we could always sleep knowing that we did some good, but this... this is on us. We need to find a way to defeat The Darkness, which by the way God himself had trouble doing, but we will because we have to clean up our mess and this time I don't care what it costs."

Dean gets back into the car as Sam takes a look around at all the destruction.
