No Longer Will Darkness Prevail

"Took You Long Enough"

"Ash?" I heard my name.

I tried opening my eyes, but they were heavy.

"Ashley, wake up," I think it was Deans voice.

I tried again, but it didn't work.

I tried speaking, but that's didn't work either.

"Ashley, wake up, dammit," That was definitely Deans voice.

I felt a a urgent yet gently slap on my face.

My eyes finally opened.

Everything was blurry, but I could tell that it was Sam and Dean standing in front if me.

I managed a weak grin.

"Took you long enough," I said.

My voice was small and hoarse.

I blinked a few times and they became less blurry.

Sam cut me down and dean caught me as I fell.

I didn't have much energy.

Memories came came flooding back.

Not only memories from before I was attacked, but also what happened in my dream.

The Djinn!

"There's a Djinn!" I tried panicky.

It came out more as a small whisper.

Dean nodded.

"It's ok, we already got him," He said.

I heard sirens approaching.

Cops and paramedics came rushing in.

During all the chaos of paramedics rushing around helping everyone that needed help-a total of seven people-and the cops talking to the conscious victims, and Sam and Dean, I realized something.

I realized that I didn't want my life to me normal.

I loved my totally out of whack, crazy, scary, abnormal life.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Do I wish my parents were still here?

Of course.

Do I wish I was dating Dean?

Maybe.

Whatever happens, happens.

But I wouldn't want it normal.

I guess my face was too dirty and beat up for the cops and paramedics to recognize me, because an hour later, Dean was driving back to the motel.

"Where the tunnels open in the other buildings?" I asked remembering why any of this happened.

Sam and Dean shook there heads.

"I never did find out if the one at that building was or not," I told them.

"Before we found you and the others we tried going through the door of the tunnel," Sam said.

"And?"

"It was blocked. Someone or something had filled it up with dirt, and pretty recently too, the dirt was fresh," He finished.

"They moved him," I said.

"They must have caught onto us or something," Dean said.

Back at the motel I took a long shower.

I let all emotions slip down the drain with the water.

I just let everything go, taking that time to feel free.
