In The Dark (Open)

[Dean Winchester]

It was late at night. The moon was shining bright in the sky. Dean had just finsihed salting and burning the body of a vengeful spirit. He was tired, sore and in desperate need of a shower. Having to dig a grave by yourself was no fun. Neither was being thrown into tombstone after tombstone repeatedly by a spirit that was hellbent on killing you. It took Dean a long tim eto kill the spirit because he was by himself with no backup at all from Sam. Sam was off on his own doing god knows what with god knows who.

After the body burn into ashes, Dean let out a relieved breath and dropped the shovel he was holding. He wiped his hands on his jeans and walked away from the grave. He couldn't wait to go back to his motel room and just chill as he waite dfor his brother to come back. As he walked the wind started to pick up. Dean shivered and shoved his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket.

[Maggie Fox]

Maggie being how she was she sensed something was going on and was curious about it, she could sense a spirit as well and took off running, but then before she knew it the spirit could no longer be sensed and then she walked into the grave yard and looked around not seeing anyone at first, she was rather curious about it. She closed her eyes and began to open herself more to the things around her, everything was just so still then she felt it. Ahead of her and she smiled a little bit and wondered what was to happen.

Walking forward she started to see a guy coming up and she wondered who he was, she stopped walking and looked up at him curious to who the hell he was. Taking a deep breath she let it out and spoke to him. "It appears that you got the hell beat out of you, I take it that it was a very vengeful spirit?" She said placing her hands on her black pants, looking to see if he would talk to her. She sensed something about him and did not know what it was it was rather confusing to her.

[Dean Winchester]

""It appears that you got the hell beat out of you, I take it that it was a very vengeful spirit?"

Dean looked at the girl in front of him. The fact that she knew about the vengeful spirit that he just fought had him questioning whether or not he should pull his gun out or not. He continued to look at her. After a minute, he finally spoke.

"Who are you and how do you know I fought a vengeful spirit?"

Carefully, Dean reached behind his back and rested his hand on the gun that was tucked into the waistband of his jeans. There was something about this girl that made him feel uneasy. He was picking up a vibe from her. That vibe combined with the fact that he was alone in a cemetery without Sam, sent deep chills up his spine. He continued to stand there, silently watching her.

[Maggie Fox]

She looked up at him and then watched him and smiled a little, looking around them as she felt no more here and sighed a little bit, though he could try and shoot her but it would not work. Thinking for a moment about how to proceed in this situation, she knew he was a hunter someone she should be knowing but did not know what the Winchester boy's looked like. But she slowly put her hands down and looked back at him, she gave him a kind look and could not help but smile a bit at him.
"I know because I felt it, I am a witch tho my power wasn't given to me was born with it. So no demon dealings and other crap I have come across, every thing supernatural I know about. This new place I find myself in is full of it as well, though people who don't know how to look out for it, they don't know it. I am not a treat to you and besides your gun wont kill me and rock salt does not kill me." Tilting her head she looked into his eyes "You are use to someone else being with you, hunting you find me a threat because your alone." She could read people easily.

"I know because I felt it, I am a witch tho my power wasn't given to me was born with it. So no demon dealings and other crap I have come across, every thing supernatural I know about. This new place I find myself in is full of it as well, though people who don't know how to look out for it, they don't know it. I am not a treat to you and besides your gun wont kill me and rock salt does not kill me."

Dean processed everything she said as he listened carefully. Slowly, he brought his arm down to his side and let it hang there loosely. He watched as she tilted her head as she looked into his eyes.

"You are use to someone else being with you, hunting you find me a threat because your alone."

All Dean could do was silently nod. What she said was true. When it came to hunting, he was used to having Sam by his side. With Sam by his side, he felt safe. Since he's alone, he feels vulnerable. Being alone and vulnerable in the cemetery in the middle of the night made Dean's skin crawl. He looked at her.

"You told me you're a witch and that you felt that venegeful spirit. Ok, I believe you on that. Guessing by your earlier statement, you seem to have figured out that I'm a hunter. Answer me this: why should I believe that you're not a threat to me and how do you know I'm not a threat to you?"

The more Dean continued to stand here the more vulnerable he felt. He couldn't wait to get out of here. He wanted to grab a six pack and go back to his motel room so he could listen to Sam drone on and on about whatever the hell he was up to all night.

[Maggie Fox]

She looked at him and heard what he said and thought for a moment he made a good point about one thing. She actually smiled at him and sighed a little bit, thinking about how to do this. Since really she felt no want or need to hurt him or anyone he is associated with him and thinking down for a second. Thinking about what she had seen, every thing from demons to even angels and helped the angels and killed the demons. But thinking for a second she looked back up at him thinking for a second about what to say.

"Well for one I find you no threat because there is only one way to kill me, I can kill a hell hound by the snap of my fingers. Can even see the ugly bastards to, I have the ability to see an angels true form without burning my eyes out, and can hear there true voice. I should know because an angel came to me once, what was his name...Oh yeah was Castiel a unique one, though last time I checked god is still missing or was he found? And as for you on why should you trust me? I don't expect you to, perhaps if you find me worthy of knowing we may become friends in the future"

[Dean Winchester]

"Well for one I find you no threat because there is only one way to kill me, I can kill a hell hound by the snap of my fingers.

And as for you on why should you trust me? I don't expect you to, perhaps if you find me worthy of knowing we may become friends in the future"

Dean relaed a little when he heard her mention Castiel's name. She was right about one thing: Cas was definitely unique. Unsure of what to do, Dean closed his eyes for a minute and took adeep breath. A minute later he opened his eyes and took a really good look at the irl in front of him. She really did seem harmless and if she wante dhim dead, she wouldn't be standing here talking to him and proposing to be friends in the future. DEan looked at her and smiled slightly then spoke.

"I believe you when you say you're not a threat to me. I'm not a threat to you either. I guess if you really wante dto hurt me, you would have already."

Dean decided to trust her. He spoke to her again.

"Normally, I don't trust people I meet in cemeteries but I'm wiling to trust you and be your friend. As long as you stay true to your word, I think we'll be fine"

Dean thought about Sam for aminute and wondered what he'd say if he were here right now. He also wondered about what Castiel would say too.

[Maggie Fox]

Maggie smiled at him hearing what he said and nodded her head to him, but noticed he seemed rather relaxed when she spoke of Castiel and then it hit her about who he was, and smiled even more. Looking down for a second she thought about the information that she knew about him. She learned to study behavior in people and thank god for that as well. Right then and there she was not afraid of anything. Thinking about a whole lot of stuff, she crossed her arms she could not help but smile a little bit at that as well.

"By your reaction to Castiel I am assuming that you know him, which makes you Dean Winchester I am betting and your partner your brother Sam of course, Cas told me a lot about you two. Course I know the whole story about you two, though no point in rehashing a hard life you two had. I promised Cas that I would look out for you two if I ever saw you, I mean Cas did a lot to get him to trust me. So I let him look into my head the way he can do, when I said that I would protect you and Sam.

Or rather offer my help since you two are grown guys, but everyone can use some help. He ended up putting a Enochanian sigil on my rib, and I did a little spell on him so he can track me still. Since I know demons and angels can't find me, god listen to me. I am sorry, last thing you need is a girl you just met talk to much. But I will give you one thing Dean, the witches you have encountered probably most if not all made a deal with a demon"

She took out a knife that was long and thick knife and a Latin transcription could be seen on it. "I don't know how good your Latin is, I am actually completely fluent to it. With the words Sicam dolorem, veneficas on the blade in English it translates to "Dagger Of Pain To Witches, not really original but I am giving this to you if I become out of hand. I guess I give this to you as another sign of trust, because if you plunge this into my heart it will kill me almost insantly"
She pretty much did this to show she would be loyal.

Dean listened as she spoke. The more she spoke, the more relaxed he started to feel. He let his shoulders relax into a more comforatble position.

After hearing her talk, Dean decided that if Cas trusted her, then he could too. He watched her pull out her dagger. He stared at her until he heard her speak again.

I don't know how good your Latin is, I am actually completely fluent to it. With the words Sicam dolorem, veneficas on the blade in English it translates to "Dagger Of Pain To Witches, not really original but I am giving this to you if I become out of hand. I guess I give this to you as another sign of trust, because if you plunge this into my heart it will kill me almost insantly"

Dean took the dagger and tucke dit into the nside pocket of hi sleather jacket. the fact that Maggie willing gave him the one thing that could kill her made Dean trust her even more. He looked at her.

"You were right. Most of the witches that me and Sammy have run into did make deals with demons in exchange for infinite power. Cas was the one who pulled me out of Hell. He has protected not only me and Sammy but our Uncle Bobby Singer too."

Dean felt bad that he didn't have anything to give Maggie in return to prove that he would be loyal as well. he looked at her.

"Thank you for giving me the dagger as a sign of your loyalty. I'm sorry that the only thing I have to offer you in return is my word that I will not harm you."

Wanting to get out of the cemetery, Dean looked at Maggie one last time.

"We've been here long enough. Why don't we go get something to eat or drink?"

[Maggie Fox]

Maggie smiled at him she had made sure to give him the dagger handle first, she knew the only thing that could kill her. But she trusted him and his word was good enough to her. Nodding about the food and drinks, she began to walk towards town. She began to wonder if she should tell him, the things that she knew. Perhaps he would be happy about it, taking a deep breath she looked down being rather silent. But thinking about everything that had happened, he needed some good news perhaps. A glimmer of hope and that was something he needed.

"Dean I knew your father, before he was taken over by the demon. He bumped into me, John helped me when I was at my darkest point. Before we would have been enemies I am sure. My parents were murdered and I wanted pay back, powers have run into my family for ten generations and I bumped into him. And he saved my life. He gave me a reason to protect, he had much regret making you and your brother go through so much. He taught me a few things that I had forgotten, to become something much more.

He made a pact with me, that I would always be there no matter what. The deal he made was broken, I brought your father back Dean. But it cost me greatly, Dean your father is alive. You have had enough pain in your life, I sacrificed some of myself so that you and your brother can have at least one parent. I fought a demon and killed it to save his life, you will be reunited with Bobby, Sam and John I promise"

[Dean Winchester]

At the mention of John's name, Dean's eyes welled up. He couldn't help the tears that that flowed freely from his eyes. After afew minutes, he stopped crying and wiped hsi eyes. He sniffled and ran a hand over his face. He looked at Maggie.

"My father....is he really alive?"

Dean couldn't help but stutter a little bit. The fact that John was alive was giving him a reason to smile. Losing John was hard. Aftre losing John, Dean spent months blaming and hating himself. During that time, Sam had tried to convince him that it wasn't his fault. Dean didn't want to hear it. He ignored Sam and pretty much shut himself down. He looked at Maggie.

"How long as he been alive for? Why hasn't he tried to contact Me & Sammy? Where is he now?"

Dean knew he was asking too many questions at once but he didn't care. He needed these answers. He needed something to hold on to while he figured out how to get back to Sam and Bobby. He wonered if Cas knew about this.

"Did Cas know about this?"

[Maggie Fox]

Maggie watched him cry and she stood there silently showing a look of concern and the look of someone who honestly cared. She placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled a little bit at him, she knew this was a very taught pill to swallow but she felt he needed to know. But hearing all his questions, she was thinking about how to tell him it was her fault John had not spoken and Cas sure as hell did not know. Looking down a moment she placed both hands on her hips thinking for a moment on how to answer this.

"Cas did not know Dean I can guarantee that, and your father has not contacted you. Because I requested he did not, and boy did he hate me for it. But before you get angry with me, which you have every right to. I was afraid a demon would latch onto him again I know Azazel is dead, and I made sure he stayed that way. I am sorry Dean, but I figured you waiting a little while longer to see your dad was better, then seeing him die all over again. I hope you can forgive me, I will do my best to get John back to you and Sam, and Bobby even Castiel"

[Dean Winchester]

"Cas did not know Dean I can guarantee that, and your father has not contacted you. Because I requested he did not, and boy did he hate me for it. But before you get angry with me, which you have every right to. I was afraid a demon would latch onto him again I know Azazel is dead, and I made sure he stayed that way. I am sorry Dean, but I figured you waiting a little while longer to see your dad was better, then seeing him die all over again. I hope you can forgive me, I will do my best to get John back to you and Sam, and Bobby even Castiel"

As much as Deann wanted to be mad at her, he couldn't. He understood why he coudn't talk to John. She was right. It was better for him to not know then know and end up losn his father all over again. He wasn't sure he could handle losing John a second time.

Thinking about John made him smile. Now that John was back, he and Sam could make up and him, Sam, John, Bobby & Cas could be a real family this time. He looked at Maggie.

"I'm not mad at you for keeping my dad from contacting me & Sammy. You were right. Contacting us would have most definitely complicated things for him. The last thing I want is for him to die because of me again. As much as I would love to talk to him and see him, I can wait a little longer. Thank you for resurrecting my dad. It means a lot to me that he had you by his side and it means alot to me that me, Sammy, Bobby & Cas have you by our sides as well.

Dean finally figure dout wwhat he could give her as a sign of his loyalty and appreciation for everything that she's done for him. He looked down at his hand and smiled. He pulled off his silver ring and handed it to her.

"I want you to have this as a sign of my loyalty and appreciation. Its not as fancy as the dagger you gave me. Its all I have to offer along with my word that no one will hurt you."

[Maggie Fox]

Maggie was rather happy that he was okay with it, she knew how hard it was to lose a father she lost both of her parents at the same time, she knew about Mary so she would never bring it up and she was rather happy about everything. Taking a deep silent breath she was enjoying the smell of the crisp air and it was a rather nice feeling really. Looking up at the sky but she sensed Dean stopped moving and she watched him, and when he took off his ring she took it and got a vision right off it.

Smiling a bit she knew it meant the world to him, and she slid it on her finger. Looking at him and was rather happy. "This means a lot to you, and it means a lot to me. Thank you very much Dean, your really sweet, and I trust you we will keep each other safe. Though I can tell you that John is safe to come back to you and Sam, and I have a feeling he will be thrown here. May take some time but I think it will happen. I am just glad things worked out"

[Dean Winchester]

"This means a lot to you, and it means a lot to me. Thank you very much Dean, your really sweet, and I trust you we will keep each other safe. Though I can tell you that John is safe to come back to you and Sam, and I have a feeling he will be thrown here. May take some time but I think it will happen. I am just glad things worked out"

Dean smiled at hearing how happy Maggie was. He looked at her.

"Thank You. As long as my dad is ok and safe, I'm happy"

Dean couldn't wait to see his father again.
