Demon Dean

Wake Up, Dean

"Wake up Dean."

That was the first thing Dean Winchester heard as he

woke up.

"What the hell are you doing in my room, Crowley?"Dean said angrily.

"Oh nothing of importance. I was just saving your LIFE. No need to thank me or anything."

Fear went through Dean as suddenly and painfully as a dozen white hot needles being poked into his skin. If he was alive, then Sammy must have made a deal, and nothing good ever came out of making deals. They always screwed everyone in the end. Strangely enough though, the terror for his baby brother's soul had disappeared as quickly as it had come. Usually, if he even only suspected Sam of doing something that could put him in danger, Dean would have been worried sick for days, but not today. Dean's confusion over his odd emotions must have shown on his face, because Crowley had his " I'm about to explain something to you imbecile " face on.

"You were dead, I'm afraid," Crowley said with a slight sigh. " This does seem to be a pattern with you boys. "

Memories rushed back into Dean's mind. Getting stabbed in the chest by Metatron, feeling the dagger pierce his heart, his final words to Sammy before he blacked out.

"I'm proud of us." Those were the words he spoke to Sam. He felt strangely detached from everything that had happened, like it happened to a different Dean Winchester.

Dean suddenly noticed that Crowley was speaking again. "...love green as much as the next guy, but black is definitely your color, Dean."

"Can you just stop with the riddles, Crowley? 'Cause I've got this blade here that could kill you if you don't," Dean said with obvious pleasure at the idea of killing Crowley.

"About that. I'll just be taking that for now, so you don't go on a killing rampage or anything." And with that, Crowley took the blade and disappeared.

"Dammit, Crowley!" Dean said, and for the first time since he bad woken up, he turned around and looked in the mirror on his wall. What he saw made him almost fall down in surprise. Eyes black as a starless night looked back at him. He stumbled out of the room and into the hallway, running directly into Sam.

"Dean?"
