I was surrounded by the Darkness cloud that was hurtling toward the car. I looked around worriedly. "Dean? Dean!" I saw a woman in front of me. "Hey! The hell's going on?"
~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up in a field of flowers.
Dean ran toward me. "Hey. Hey." I sat up. Dean helped me stand. "You okay?"
"Yeah," I answered breathlessly. "Where's the car?"
"I--it--it's... about a mile that way," Dean answered.
"What?" I asked.
"Seriously?" Dean asked. "The--the Darkness hit. You disappeared. You remember none of this?"
I thought back to the Darkness hitting, remembering the woman. "She saved me."
"What?" Dean asked. "Who?"
I looked at him. "The Darkness."
~~~~~~~~~~
Dean and I were still standing in the field of flowers.
"Wait a second," Dean told me. "What do you mean, she saved you?"
"You were there," I told him. "When the storm hit, everything went dark."
"Yeah, but you just disappeared from the car," Dean told me.
"I don't even remember that," I told him.
"Well, I don't remember some woman pulling you out," Dean told me.
"Well, what do you want me to say, okay?" I asked. "I was in the car, and then I wasn't in the car. I was in the field, and she was there."
"And she told you she was the Darkness?" Dean asked.
"No, she was wearing a name tag," I told him sarcastically. "What do you think? She thanked me."
"For what?" Dean asked.
"Setting her free," I answered.
"You didn't set her free," Dean told me. "I set her free."
"Does it matter?" I asked. "I mean, yeah, you said the spell, but I had the mark, so lock and key."
"So, what, now she feels indebted to you or something?" Dean asked.
"I don't know," I told him. "She's the Darkness. Does she feel anything? It was weird. But she had this energy about her, this--this focus. But, yeah, not much of a talker."
"So we know jack?" Dean asked.
"Well, we know what she looks like, and we know that she's evil," I told him. We walked toward the car. "The question is, what does she know? I mean, she's been locked away since the beginning of time. Does she even know what any of this is? All I know is that we set her free, and we're gonna put her back in, no matter what it takes." I felt a hard kick in my stomach from the babies. "Ow." I had to stop walking. "That actually hurt."
