Through Eyes of Insanity//Dean Winchester

11.0

E M I L Y

I didn't want to die.

Maybe someday, far away from the hospital and its bare corridors.

Away from the pain and torture of memories that had been cruelly snatched from my grasp.

Not when I was just beginning to remember them again.

A father, the words seemed embedded in my mind, circling round and round in an infinite ring; and I remembered.

A father. One that would hold me when I cried at night, and sing to me when I was ill.

A song that, if I listened hard enough, I could hear it now. Whispering softly in my ear like a gentle breeze, whirling around my mind and settling in my heart in a steady rhythm.

But maybe, maybe I would never be ready.

"Take me," a voice cried, Devin, "Please, just take me, let her live."

The last bit of energy bled from my limbs, the song slowly faded from my memory. Changing, to one of pain and darkness, and I realized that my heart was slowly pounding to the ending rhythm of death.

"Please," I heard Devin cry once more, "Take me, my heart, my breath, take what no one else needs. I have nothing. She has everything. I beg of you, take me."

The monster stood in front of us, decaying arms outstretched in a poisonous hug towards Devin; who now kneeled in front of me. Her own body convulsing and seizing in pain.

The world was fading, dull colors mixing together in a whirl. Spinning and swirling as the defined lines blurred until it was impossible to decipher one object from the next.

The song.

It now rang loudly in my ears. Enveloping my body and mind, wiping clean the darkness of insanity that clouded it.

And I could finally see.

The hospital faded to nonexistence, now placed with an opaque black that covered me like a healing mist.

A soul replaced in its body.

A weight lifted gently off my chest.

I could feel again.

Light, real light, bleeding through the darkness of my eyelids and breathing new life into my lungs.

I was free.

Now opened eyes met the stark white ceiling of a hospital, a real one.

And the song.

It was right beside me, echoing softly in my eardrums, a tangible sound that filled me with undeniable warmth.

And a hand, clasping my own as if life depended on it. Warm and rough, gripping it as if it were a lifeline.

"Dad?" 

 "Emily," I saw him again, and I knew, I remembered. Every laugh, every memory that combined the two of us together as family. He was looking down at me, a smile stretching across his lips and burning in his eyes. Eyes that shone in the same color as my own. 

His arms wrapped around me tightly, holding me against him as if afraid to let go. As if it were a dream, conjured up by a failing mind. I heard a sob rip through the air and he held me tighter, whispering my name over and over as I placed my head against his chest. Listening to the steady sound of his breath and the rhythm of his heart.

"Dad," I repeated, forcing myself away to look into his eyes once more.

Devin, the stranger, she had done something. She had saved me as if her life meant nothing.

Though I doubted my own mind and the sanity therein, the fierce tug of fear that still lay embedded in my brain pushed its way up my throat and settled on my tongue.

"A girl, she was in my dream--or, whatever it was--a monster, she was..I was..I was going to die--and this girl, she saved me." The words were rushed and confused, spilling out haphazardly from my mouth and I looked up at my father in hopes that he understood. A small frown burrowed between his eyebrows, worry gathering up in his eyes like a hurricane.

"What was her name?"

"Devin."   

SOrry for the super long wait! 

I'm being completely honest here when I say that I have no idea what happened.

But here it is.
