Purgatory... More like hell 2.0; Dean and I were constantly on the run away from the creatures. Along the way we met a vampire named Benny, although he was a vampire he was very cool. He and Dean had become really good friends in the time it took to find my uncle. Dean had become more like a wild animal as he protected me from the creatures that were following us. I had seen a new side to him that scared me a little bit. In Purgatory you don't sleep, you don't eat, you survive.


"Dean," I ask after I watch him torture a werewolf about where Cass was. "Yeah?" he slowly looks around to make sure no one is going to jump us. "Are you okay?" As I say the words he stops and looking back at me with distant eyes says, "What do you think Chris?" I mentally slap myself, "I'm sorry I even asked." I say as I push past him. I hear his footsteps behind me and I turn and say, "Maybe I need some time away from you? I'll find my uncle on my own." As I finish my sentence I quickly fly away. It doesn't take me long to find my uncle. He was washing his face in the stream, "Cass!" I call out and as he turns to look at me I run into his arms.


As I feel him hold me tight the tears start to pour from my eyes. "I'm sorry I disappeared." He says and I let out soft cry as I say, "I wish I could've disappeared with you." He pulls away and looking down into my icy eyes says, "Where's Dean?" I look away from him and walking over to the water's edge say, "Something has changed about him," I reach up and start to caress Dean's ring as it hangs around my neck. "Perhaps he is under a lot of stress, being trapped here in Purgatory." Cass says as he walks up and lays a hand on my shoulder. "I know, that's why I told him I needed some time alone." 

"You left him alone? A human in Purgatory?" I turn back to face him and say, "You did!" he looks down as the words sink in. "I'm sorry, that was out of line. Look, he's not alone he's with a friend."



My uncle tilts his head to the side and about that time I hear Dean yell out, "Cass!" the two of us follow the voice until I see Dean walking over to us. Walking past me he wraps his arms around Cass. I walk away from them and head back toward the water. As I look down into the cool pool I hear a voice inter my head, "Cressida my child, I wish I could ease your troubles." A tear falls from my eye as I feel the ghostlike embrace of my father's voice engulfing me. "I miss you daddy," I silently say as I look at my reflection to see my father staring back at me smiling. My heart clenches and then I feel someone wrap their arms around me. "I'm sorry," Dean says and I let out a sigh. "I just want to get out of here."


As he says the words I turn and facing him say, "And you think I don't? My children, my family; they are out there wondering where we are. Every night I hear Michael and Gabe pray for us to come back safe and sound. All I want is to get out of here!" I say the last sentence a little louder than I planned. His face turns red with anger he says, "You think I don't know that? Dammit Chris they are my kids too. That whole year we thought you were dead, I raised them. Every nightmare, every injury, every school function, everything; I was there! Where were you? Oh that's right you were bumping uglies with the new king of hell!"


I reach up and slap him across the face. "You son of a bitch, you know I had no memory after my accident! Me not being there wasn't my fault, so don't get try to guilt trip me!" I push past him and head over to Cass and Benny and say, "You guys go on without me. I can't be around him, I will literally kill him." 

"Chris, you're a Nephilim; every creature here is drawn toward your light." I look at my uncle and say, "I know." I walk over to him and hugging him say, "I'll see you on the other side." He stares at me silently begging me not to go. I turn to Benny and giving him a quick hug say, "Please take care of Dean." As I pull away he nods and I turn back to see Dean staring after me.



I reach up and unclasping my necklace I walk back over to him. He stares at me as I reach down and lift his hand up. I slowly set his ring back in his hand and say, "Goodbye Dean," He clenches his hand and his jaw as his eyes silently plead for me not to go. I lean up and gently kiss his lips one last time. Before he can return my kiss I disappear. I find the farthest place from them and go there. When I am sure I am alone I let my tears fall. After a few days I am suddenly aware of someone standing behind me.


"What do you want?" I ask and turning my eyes shoot open. "Cass, what are you doing here?" I ask as I walk over to him. "I couldn't go with Dean." he says not making eye contact. "What the hell, why not?"
