The forty marks season 1

Night in the hall, while Frank’s just surfing the internet via his laptop when Sam gets to the hall and asks him.

Has Balthazar left?

Frank looks at Sam who’s now sitting in front of him as he replies.

Yeah, he’s gone....after he said to call him whenever it’s necessary.

Sam

We don’t need his help....not anymore....

Frank

Maybe you’re right, it’s gotta be tedious to find who you’d trust nowadays. Forget about it and just tell, How’s Dean doing?

Sam

I let him to take some sleep but It hard to tell if he’s really asleep or just pretending to....

Frank

It’s been a really rough day! Why don’t you too go have some sleep?

Sam

Now after Cas’s dead, Crowley’s can bust his ass out at anytime, and if he does with the blade in his hands, he can easily manipulate Dean’s mind.

Frank

But as I think, he still has the remnants of Cas’s grace inside of him and as long as he does have them Crowley’s not gonna be able to control him and so he’ll gonna have to wait till they wear off.

Sam gives a desperate sigh, gets annoyed so he says.

Yeah, but we don’t know when it’s happening anyhow. So, we’re gonna have to find the third mark as fast as we can.

Frank

I’m already working on it....I do have some mark and still working on getting all the information I need about it to see whether it suits our quest or not.

Sam

Good. I need to finish off that Mark of Cain thing very soon...Dean must turn back human again....

Frank gets quiet for a few seconds, glancing Sam for a while he says comforting him.

I’m sorry about Cas....it was really shocking!

Sam seems disturbed and then says.

I’m getting out....that girl we met, Mary, I promised to save her from the hell hounds and she only got two days left of her deal....I’m leaving to see her.

Frank

Now? It’s late now! How are you gonna meet her?

Sam

She’s gonna leave her home without telling her parents. I want you to stay with Dean and keep in touch if anything happens.

Frank

Sam, wait, you’re considering closing the gates of hell again?

Sam

Yeah, I wanna slam them shut for good. Just waited till Dean gets the three marks he needed....besides, that poor girl only gets a day or two and we’ve to save her!

Frank

Dean’s not gonna like this so much and you damn know it!

Sam

He won’t know about it.....I’m leaving now.....and as I said be aware if Crowley shows up.

Frank

Don’t worry. I’m staying here.

At night, outside Mary’s house, the girl’s standing outside awaiting for Sam to reveal and she’s literally shivering out of cold and fear when Sam arrives. He parks the car and gets out of it then gets to her and in a reassuring voice he asks.

How you’re doing?

Mary worried

Thanks for coming. I’m freaking out! Can’t stay in the house anymore! I’m deliberately hearing their creepy voices everywhere!

Sam

Mary, don’t be. Just tell me, when exactly do you expect them to get to you?

Mary reluctantly replies

In a day or two....Sam, what am I supposed to do? They may attack me at home in front of my father and brother!

Sam

No, they’re not.....tomorrow, we’re taking you somewhere else....this way your family can be safe.

All of a sudden, they hear the sound of a sudden movement....Mary panics then shrieks

Can you hear that?

Sam

Yeah, I can

Mary

They’ve already come or what? They’re assaulting me now!!

Sam

Mary, get back home and whatever happens, do not leave your room! And take this, if you hear any weirdo sounds just make sure you surround yourself with a salt circle and never leave it at any cost!

Mary

What about you? You’re gonna go and leave me?

Sam

I’ll check up the place.....don’t worry, I’m just making sure nothing bad comes to you! Now, go inside and contact me immediately when anything happens.

Mary directly terrified heads back home. Sam looks around during that pitchy cold night.....he examines the place.....just to hear a movement rise in the place once more....later, he notices that it comes from behind a bunch of trees....he cautiously gets closer to the source of the sound behind those trees...

Sam

Who the hell are you? Show yourself!....

But with no response, Sam reluctantly approaches the bushes in front of him. He gets closer and closer till, at last, a man shows up just behind the bushes who starts running and rushing away in attempt to flee Sam who keeps following him squealing as he does.

Hey, stop....you STOP....

The man keeps on dashing away from Sam, rushing his way as far away from Sam as possible with a terrified face totally panicked by Sam’s trailing him. At some point, Sam manages to reach the man, knocks him down to the ground, and pulls a knife under his neck. Then gets even closer to him and says.

Who the hell are you? What you’re doing here? Why are you following Mary?

The man’s eyes look pitch- black which hints Sam about his demonic nature.

Why are you trailing her? Wanna make sure the contract’s sealed, don’t you?

The demon

Pretty damn much yeah, this particular deal must be sealed.

Sam

So, they’ve got to send you to make sure it’s all done, to be assured the hell hounds have done their job, right?

The demon

There’s no point in killing me...I’m just a spy nothing more...and let me tell you, a hell of lot demons other than me are carrying out the same task right now just in case I failed; only making sure the deal done.

Sam snaps and yells at the demon’s face while still threatening him with the knife at his neck.

It’s a new system, ain’t it? Keeping an eye on deal-makers then or what?

The demon

Hell, it’s a very special deal; top list priority....totally different from any other one made...very important one....and for that, we’ve to make sure that the deal’s completely done with no obstacles getting in the way.

Sam

Why?? What’s so special about the deal to make it that important to you?

The demon

Forgive me, can’t tell you more! Can’t tell anything else.

Sam

Then you’re signing your death sentence! This knife can kill you in a matter of seconds....so I guess you’re just gonna have to tell me, what sort of important does this damn deal have to you?

The demon

Please, I’m just a spy! I can’t tell anything! They’re gonna know about it if I do!

Sam

So I’m just gonna kill you or worse send your ass back to hell and over there, they’re gonna be the ones to deal with you!

The demon pleading with Sam not to kill him...

No, please, just don’t!...

Sam shrieking at his face once again...

Why’s Mary’s deal that important to you??? Is it Crowley? Why he’s so bent on it? Spit it out!

The demon keeps silent for a few seconds....then his voice tone varies and highly confident he confides...

No....actually, it’s not about her. It’s all about you, Sam...only YOU!

Sam

What? Me?! So you were pursuing me then not her?

The demon

Yeah....actually a lot of us do too...many demons are after you....it’s been like that since your own deal with Crowley...

Sam

But why? Crowley’s making sure I’m not weaseling my way out then??

The demon

Crowley’s an ass! He can’t understand how much of a pain-in-the-ass you’re gonna be for him, for all of us, if you went to hell!! Damn, he even don’t know what’s coming for him!

Sam stunned

What you’re talking ‘bout? Isn’t it Crowley who’s sent you for my chase?!

The demon

No, it’s not him, if he’d known what we’re planning for him, he would’ve stopped you himself from making that deal in the first place...but he don’t...

Sam

If it wasn’t Crowley! Then who?

The demon with a smirk

Lucifer!....we’re Lucifer’s supporters....

Sam’s overwhelmed steps somehow aside from the demon for a short while....keeps quiet for a few seconds....then anxiously he proceeds.

Lucifer? That’s not true!....it can’t be!

The demon

Hell, it is....we’re his supporters ad we’re numerous....keeping an eye on you to get the deal done....Lucifer’s planning on having you once you drop back in hell this time, just to wear you again as his meat-suit and rises back to complete what he started before....and this time, he won’t miss, not like that time, remember?....he’s gonna get revenge on everyone with no mercy...

Sam ’s highly tensed than before....takes more steps behind....then asks with terror shivering his voice.

He can’t do that....how’s he gonna e-even....he k-knows.....I must say “yes”

The demon arrogantly replies.

He’s gonna torture you down....every kind of torment, you’re gonna experience on his hands, till you comply....and you’re gonna say it to him....and the first thing he’s gonna do once he’s out...is recruiting that demon brother of yours to his army....he’s gonna kill Crowley....then of course take Dean by his side to lead all the mass destruction tasks he’s planned....Dean’s gonna be on our side, with us he’s gonna witness the whole new coming war....and so would you....you’ll gonna watch and see but stay still and do nothing!

Sam outraged approaches the demon then angrily he squeals

You’re lying! Crowley’s sent you behind me just to tell this nonsense! Crowley’s seeking our distraction, he’s clearly declaring war on us; terrified at the thought of us resetting the slamming of hell mission once again. Is that it then? SPIT IT OUT!

The demon

Maybe...maybe, I’m here just to mess with you....and Crowley could be the one who’s sent me too...or it could be Lucifer and his supporters who’re on this task against you....you know what, they could actually be following you everywhere and on every spot and every angle of your life without drawing your attention....maybe, if you could just take a thorough look around, you could manage to glance them with their gleam-y red eyes staring at you every single moment of your damn day without even you noticing it before!

At that moment, the demon startles Sam with his gleaming red eyes.....Sam grows anxious in return but then says.

How...how...!

The demon

Yeah, I can turn by eyes into that pitch black color but....the thing is, I’m quite different myself....we’re on Lucifer’s team now a recruitment to be exact working on his behalf....with those blood red eyes.....with characteristics of our own as well....more powerful than you could possibly imagine....and we “his soldiers” are gonna be there for him when he gets back up again....

Sam

How are you different? After all, you’re just a filthy demon who’s gonna meet his end after all at the spike of my knife just right now!

The demon

No, it ain’t gonna happen; won’t hurt me, pal! Don’t tell me you’re still thinking that I’m just some kinda ordinary demon that crossed your path then pleads you for his life while knowing that special knife of yours? We can not be killed by this useless knife you have.

Sam

So you’ve planned it all along, is that it? You wanted to make sure inform me that Lucifer’s waiting for me down?

The demon

Damn right, we don’t give a damn about you....just wanted to make sure you recognize our presence around you, and realize that we’re keeping you closer that you might think.....and you better know, we’re killing you whenever we decide; rushing your going to hell sooner than later.....we’re so much more powerful than you and there’s nothing you can do about it....just wait and see...

The demon arrogantly points to Sam to look around himself.....and in response Sam takes a glance around and to his surprise he find thousands of red colored eyes fixated on him and sparkling in the dark....Sam turns around overwhelmed by the horrible scene he’s witnessing and while he’s still bewildered, his knife drops off his hand; unable to figure out what to say....then again, he turns back to the demon in front of him....hardly managing to speak while still in shock...

If you were....that much ready.....you could have already killed me and handed me over to Lucifer by now...but you didn’t? Guess why then?....what you’re waiting for?

The demon approaches Sam and with a wicked smirk he proceeds.

As you can see, we are so many and pretty much different from any other kinds of demons.....we’re getting ourselves ready to attack....gathering the greatest number of allies that we can recruit.....strengthening our army.....so as when Lucifer rises back from his cage, he’s gonna find us more than just ready to squash Crowley and all his guys....just be patient.....when we’re completely ready, you’re gonna see us crossing your path once again....my name’s Logan by the way....make sure you remember this name, Sam....to this time.....

The demon suddenly vanishes into thin air together with all the demons he had around him. Sam turns around himself but sees none of them anymore.

At home, Frank is sitting just before his laptop. Dean gets to the hall, slowly walking because of his wounds then Frank glances him and so he utters.

Do you feel better?

Dean gets closer and takes a seat in front of Frank then replies.

Where’s Sam? He’s not in his room!

Frank

Sam went to get some air outside. He mentioned that he needed it. Me, on the other hand, am working on finding you the third mark. Already found one. It’s called the queen of purity.

Dean impatiently asks.

The queen of purity?!....and what the hell is that mark supposed to do?!

Frank

Pretty special and unique one indeed...very powerful, luckily, it’s one....because as a matter of fact, it’s the last as well. Once you’ve got it, you’re gonna be ridden forever of that foul mark of Cain on your arm....speaking of the new mark, it once belonged to some ancient queen who happened to rule a lot of ages ago. She was once glanced as the epitome of beauty, with quite charm on men. As far as legend goes, once a man laid eyes on her, he instantly fell in love with her!   

Dean indifferently asks

And let me guess, she, herself, happened to fell in love with a man we didn’t love her in return?

Frank replies

Quite the contrary! She fell for a king who admired her! But unfortunately, he happened to be married!

At that moment, Sam gets back, and immediately heads towards them trying his best to mask his worry and critical psychological stress he’s enduring. He puts on the show and says.

Who’re you talking about?

Then Sam gets a seat by Dean’s side who, in return, asks him.

Where were you, Sam?

Sam replies

Went to get some air! How you’re doing now?

Dean proceeds

Frank was just telling me about the third mark he’s got. He’s gonna tell you too about it while I go get some air.

Dean hardly stands up intending to leave when Sam does too and speaks to him.

Where to? You can’t man; Crowley’s already after you!

Dean turns to him with an annoyance infiltrating his tone.

Don’t worry; won’t be able to do anything! I’m still having, you know....those fragments of Crowley’s grace in me.

Sam

Dean.....dude, just listen, stay and let us know more about that mark! It thinks it’s better if you did.

Dean replies while moving towards the door.

I’ll be right back!....you could know what you wanna learn about it yourself.

Frank speaks to Sam just as Dean leaves.

Did you kill that hell hound?

Sam highly disturbed replies

No, I did not! Actually, we do have a great problem!

Frank

What’s wrong?

Sam

Frank, I’m gonna have to slam the hell gates shut! Man, it’s getting even more worse by the day! Should I not close them now, things are really getting ugly; mass destruction impacts the whole world!

Frank, with his voice tone shifting to a more stern one, asks.

Sam, what you’re talking about?

Sam

I....have just met a whole new army of some kind of special demons, some new kind of demon freaks. Monstrous demons with glowing red eyes! The knives we possess don’t work on them! Demons who are forged and turned to something different....unique and scary...also more damn powerful!

Frank jerks up from his seat and asks Sam

What? How’s...this....even possible?! Demons can’t just be shifted into something that much ruthless in such a short time!

Sam

Then comes the worst part of it all! They’re leaded by Lucifer himself!

Frank panicked

Lucifer?!

Sam

Yeah, Frank, that’s the real predicament! Lucifer’s waiting for me in hell! While we were so busy finding a solution for Dean’s case, Lucifer’s been planning it all! He’s coming back! He’s gonna compel me into saying yes! He needs my consent to come back and raise havoc on earth once again, Frank.

Frank

Those are some very terrible news indeed, Sam! Gonna tell Dean or what?

Sam impulsively

No, I won’t let him thwart me once again from doing it this time! Frank, if I don’t close those damn gates, Lucifer’s definitely back! And Dean, Dean’s gonna be his second-in-command on that lunatic plan for the global chaos! I’m gonna close them once and for all this time as fast as possible!

Frank

Okay, I got it, just keep calm. But let me tell you man, Dean’s not becoming the devil’s bitch; that’s impossible! He’s taking the third mark and he’s turning human back again.

Sam

That witch, Sarah, she was right!

Frank

Sarah?! Right how?!

Sam

Right talking about the havoc Dean’s gonna cause! He said that he won’t be able to accept the sacrifice and thus he’s spreading mass destruction everywhere! That’s the whole point, Dean’s not gonna sacrifice me! He won’t approve to sacrificing me even if it meant closing the gates to hell! Leading to me going to hell and leaving Lucifer taking control over me! And that’s how the whole havoc’s gonna strike....

Frank

So that’s what you truly think?

Sam impulsively and nervously replies

Of course it is. It’s all becoming so clear...so logical! Dean’s not gonna be concerned by any consequences or causalities! Of course he’s gonna act like the selfish brat he is!....it’s actually beginning to get on my nerves right now! How worse it’s gonna get once I tell him? He’s definitely rejecting it all and we’ll just gonna be forced to see it all happen around us! Just wait and see how ugly it’s gonna get!

Frank

Then don’t tell him....let us get him the third mark.....the queen of purity mark....once he takes it, he’s turning back human again...then and only then, you’re gonna get ready to close those gates of hell once and for all.

On the other hand Dean’s while walking through the street by the bunker, heavy heart-ed and desperate, all of a sudden he lets out a cry.

Crowley.....you bastard.....here I am where the hell are you?!

The cry was loud enough for Sam and Frank to clearly hear it from inside the bunker. Sam outraged snaps then dashes out of the place followed by Frank who also hurries towards the sound source both heading towards Dean. Sam reaches Dean, grabs his tight and hardly drags him back home and then says.

Dean....what the hell are you doing?! Get inside QUICKLY!

Dean breaking out from Sam’s firm grip and shrieks

Get away from me!

Sam

Dean....you’re summoning Crowley! Are you out of your mind?! Let’s get in, I beg you, before he comes!

Dean

Ain’t gonna happen, bro. I’m talking to him right now.

Sam

Talk? About what?! Dean, you’re not okay, please let’s leave!

Dean approaches Sam and then yells him in the face.

Of course, I’m not! What d’ you expect?

At that moment, Crowley shows up.

Hello, boys!

Sam

Crowley, get the hell away right now!

Dean

Sam, take Frank and LEAVE!

Sam angrily

Not gonna happen! What do you intend to do?

Crowley with a grin approaches Dean

Why are you that much angry? Found out about those three’s treachery?!

Frank

Cas’s dead. He didn’t betray him, he actually protected him!

Crowley

Died! Sounds good! So Dean, now I can just grab the first blade and come right back to you. You and me, think about the great team we’re gonna make together!

Sam

This ain’t gonna happen; Dean’s still having Cas’s grace inside of him.

Dean approaches Crowley and proceeds

Because of you, Cas’s dead. Because of what you did! I just wanted you to know this, even if you left the whole planet, I’m gonna find you and I’m gonna slay you like the pig you truly are whatever it takes! What happened to me, you’re the only one who’s gonna pay for it!

Crowley

Ridiculous! You see, Dean, after all I did save your life! I didn’t betray you as they did. I mean, don’t you really see it yet? Who do you really trust now? You trusted Cas and look what happened! He deceived you, he’s no longer by your side! Look behind you, Frank, isn’t it?....he’s planning on giving you the queen of purity mark! I mean, really? The queen of purity one?!

Frank and Sam look at each other surprised at how Crowley knows about the mark when Dean asks.

So, you’ve been spying on us then! You know everything, don’t you?

Crowley

Exactly! From the very beginning, I knew about it all! But I waited till the appropriate time presented itself and voila, it’s right there...

Sam outraged approaches Crowley and Dean then says.

Whatever you’re planning on, it ain’t gonna happen!

Crowley

Isn’t it? Watch me! Let’s start with Frank then. Should I talk or you....

Crowley was directing his words to Frank who approaches him and replies

Say whatever you want! Got nothing to hide!

Crowley to Dean

Frank chose you the queen of purity mark to knock the mark of Cain of your arm. Why don’t you ask him what exactly the mark’s gonna do to you?....that mark’s freeing you from my control but, in return, it’s making you the captive of the queen forever.

Frank

That’s not true! You know a squat about the marks! Dean’s already got two before and he’s done well, the third’s gonna be just like them too.

Sam

Dean, don’t you listen to him! Let’s get inside! He can’t get you thanks to Cas’s grace. He’s just so desperate trying to get you against us!

Crowley

Oh well, Sam, that’s what I do. But I’m telling the truth. You, for starters, signed on a contract to bring Dean back without bothering read its terms! The only thing that mattered to you was getting Dean back, you didn’t mind selling him to me in the process! And let me tell you this, the contract terms still valid whether Dean’s still a demon or not..

Dean disgustedly to Crowley

Is that all you’ve got? You do not really think that such reasons you’ve just offered can make you my friend, do you Crowley? Can’t you just realize that you’re the one responsible for Cas’s death? Is it that much hard for you to realize that whatever the hell you do, I won’t ever be on your side? Not ever! And from now on, you better be on your guard; actually I’m not letting bygones be bygones whatsoever!

Crowley with a grin

Come with me, Dean, and I promise you this, you’re brother’s free from his contract! He’s not going to hell!

Dean

You still can’t understand! Still can’t get your head around the problem you’ve got yourself in!

Crowley

Well, then we’re doing it the hard way! Gonna get my last card! I did tell you that all those around you are messing with you. Now, I’m telling you about Sam’s great secret! The one he’s been hiding from you! Tomorrow, he’s killing some new hell hounds. Tomorrow, he’s carrying on once again the first trial on closing the gates to hell. But of course you knew nothing about it all!

At that one moment, Dean’s stunned. Bewildered by what he’s just heard from Crowley, he turned back to Sam. Then slowly but steadily he gets closer to Sam and asks.

Is it true?

Sam nervously replies

Dean....he’s messing with you!

Dean angrily squeaks

Is what he’s just said true??

At that moment Crowley utters with an evil giggle.

Now, I must go. Have a nice time solving your issues! I’ll be right back later to collect what was promised to me....see you....

Crowley vanishes from the place. Sam and Dean turn around but he was already gone. Sam proceeds talking to Dean and on the other hand, Frank prefers to keep quiet while Sam does.

Dean, he’s just trying to turn you against us so you’d pick his side and that’s all! How could you possibly believe him and doubt us? Can’t you really get your head around what he’s doing right now?

Dean

So you wanna tell that what he said wasn’t true, is that it, Sam? What else are you keeping from me? What exactly? And you, Frank....why should I believe you? Perhaps, that third mark’s a nasty one as Crowley told? Give me one good reason for me to do?

Frank

Dean, you’re one of us. Why would we do that to you? Crowley’s messing with your head. All he said are lies!

Sam to Dean

I’m intending to close the gates of hell. All I want, is for you to get better and rid yourself of that mark of Cain you bear, get back human very soon, and I swear to you the moment we’re done with all of this, we all are gonna ice that bastard Crowley together. You’re avenging ourselves! Dean, what Cas did made you lose your every shred of trust you once held for each of us but you know what, we don’t deserve you mistrusting us! Please, believe in us! You’ve to do it! We’ve already passed issues so much more worse before and this is no different!

Dean to Sam

Is that really true?? Does it mean you’re not intending to shut the gates of hell? Please, don’t lie to me; I’m not ready for any more lies!

Sam lying to Dean

                

No, Dean, I’m not, make sure of that. I’m not even considering it. All that matters now is getting that nasty mark of Cain off your arm. Because if it really happened and Crowley took control over you, he’s gonna tear this world apart! He’ll form a demonic army of those knights of hell he has and all hell will break loose on earth!

Frank comments

Yeah, as Sarah said. That witch mentioned that your actions are gonna be catastrophic! She saw it all with her own eyes! She also mentioned that you won’t accept to offer any sacrifices for the greater good and that you, yourself, are gonna be the one who’ll cause that havoc! If you’re not really willing to trust us, then you’re simply fulfilling her prophecy! That way, you’re really gonna cause a lot of trouble!

Sam approaches Dean and says

Dean, you’re making a huge mistake not trusting us now! You have to, man. You can’t ever consider picking which side to believe when it’s Crowley against us because there’s a damn great difference and you know it! Please, let us get back home. Try to get some rest and tomorrow you’re gonna be better, mark my words, all that bastard words will just vanish from your mind.

Dean keeps glancing anxiously to both Sam and Frank as they defend themselves but he’s also quite worried having that awful pit in his stomach but then calmly replies    

Don’t know what I was really considering here! You’re right, I know. What Cas did  really pushed me off the rails but tomorrow, I’m getting that last mark and we’re getting it all over with. Then we’re killing that son of a bitch for good ending that contract once and for all.

Sam satisfied

That’s good! That stupid deal won’t affect us much after all Crowley doesn’t have that kinda leverage over us. All he does have are his fake words....

On the following day, in the morning.....Sam and Frank are talking in the parlor.

Frank

That mark’s not placed on someone’s hand. It’s buried deep in some ancient tomb in an old box.

Sam

Can we reach it?

Frank

I’m gonna go myself and get it.

Sam

And how’s Dean getting it on his arm if it’s placed in a box?

Frank

That mark’s gonna counter the mark of Cain, once we put it in Dean’s arm, he’s gonna get it. I have my car, gonna take it to the mission and get back as quick as I can, just a couple of hours or so. Can you deal with it alone if Crowley showed up again?

Cautiously Sam replies in a low voice so Dean wouldn’t hear him from inside.

I’ve to get to Mary today for ending her deal. Can’t stay with Dean for so long!

Frank

It’s okay, won’t take a lot. But you’re not looking too well, Sam.

Sam

Yeah, yesterday we lied to Dean in the face! I assured him we’re doing nothing behind his back!

Frank

We had to! Don’t feel bad about it! You’ve a lot to bear, man, you terribly needed to do it!

Sam

I’m leaving and so are you but what if Crowley showed up in our absences?

Frank

Dean is still having Cas’s grace so Crowley can do nothing about it! I’m gonna leave now to get that mark and come back quick to stay with him while you deal with your business

Frank stands up from his chair intending to leave when Sam thankfully mutters

Frank....you’re a really good friend, man. Don’t know how could I’ve dealt with all of this if it wasn’t for you! All we’ve gone through....you’ve been there for us...frankly more like a brother

Frank comments back with a decent smile

Oh, don’t...it was my duty...we’re all on the same side

Sam

Actually, when you first came in here and talked about your hunters’ encampment, I grew angry and wondered how those hunters accepted to join you but right now, I knew why. You’re a great leader; self-confident, well-educated, strong and quite invincible. You’re a very special leader, Frank. And maybe if, it’s not for the trials I’m about to carry out to close those gates to hell, I think I could have thankfully recruited myself to your army as well.

Frank

Save your compliments till the mess’s over! Gotta leave now, call if you need me!

After a while, Sam heads to Dean’s room and knocks the door.

Dean...you’re still asleep?....Dean?!

But Dean never replies. So Sam enters the room to be stunned by Dean’s absence; he’s not in the room anymore which upsets Sam....so he picks up his phone and calls Dean’s number.

Somewhere else, Dean’s in the car; parking it and then gets out when his cellphone rings and he replies it.

Yeah, Sam?

On the other side, Sam angrily proceeds

Dean...where the hell are you?! Get back home now!

Dean

Just relax; I won’t be late though. Actually, I’m somewhere close anyhow.....I’m back soon...

Sam

Just tell, where are you? What are you doing?

Dean

Gotta hang up now! As I told, I’m back very soon. Sam, don’t worry.

Dean hangs up the call and then looks ahead....it’s the witch’s house....Dean’s in front of the witch’s house once again....

Sam, still at home, worried and angry....calls Frank to be answered by the sound of his voice mail so Sam proceeds leaving him a message....

Frank, Dean’s left home....fetch that damn mark and get back home quick....I.....’m gonna be ready so I’m thinking of something that could help....something tells me Dean’s affected by Crowley’s words yesterday....so I’ve gotta do something.....anyway, just grab that mark and hurry back home!

In the witch’s house, the witch Sarah stands just in front of Dean and says.

I’ve gotta change my address!

Dean

I need your help! A lot of questions are nagging on me and I need some real answers for ‘em.

Sarah sits on some chair and mutters.

Well, sit down. Now tell me, what you wanna know?

Dean sits next to her and then asks

On our previous visit, you asked my brother to kill me....you said you’d seen some really terrible things happen because of me!....I wanna know why and how?

Sarah

Are you still a demon?

Dean

Yeah....but as soon as I get that third mark I’m a demon no more and I’m back as human....but something tells me it ain’t a good mark to take....I don’t know how to think....I no more trust anybody!.....even my own brother....

Sarah

I’m not an expert when it comes to those marks....but what I can really tell is how horrible those things I saw happening by you....you won’t afford to sacrifice!

Dean

That’s what I can’t get my head around yet! What kind of sacrifice am I not gonna afford anyhow? Is it about me allowing Sam to close the gates of hell? Is that what’s going to happen because of me? By the “mass destruction” you meant me thwarting Sam from closing the gates to hell?

Sarah

If that’s the case, are you willing to sacrifice Sam then? If you’re given two choices, if it’s the ”havoc” versus “Sam”. What ’d you pick?

Dean with sorrow

I can’t afford losing Sam....why would I do that? If that “mass destruction” or “havoc” or whatever the hell you wanna call it is gonna be because of the king of hell then we’re killing him then!

Sarah

Fine, now...let me show you what’s that havoc got to do with you...

Elsewhere, Sam’s still home, highly nervous....moving around in the hall nearly losing his mind out of worry and anxiety when his cellphone abruptly rings up and it’s Mary calling him so he answers.

Mary? What’s the matter?

Mary, on the other side, crying replies

Sam....please help me....I’m home alone....and they’re everywhere around me!

Sam

The hell hounds?

Mary

Yeah, please hurry up....I’m feeling it! It’s back for me!

Sam

Mary, just use the salt I gave you. I’m on my way. Won’t be late!

Dashing in an utter hurry, Sam rushes towards the garage to take some old car from it and immediately heads toward Mary’s house on his mission to kill the hell hound.

Elsewhere....Sarah and Dean ’re still talking....

Sarah

I’ll tell you now what I know about that destruction....it’s gonna be because of the mark, Dean....that mark of the queen of purity....

Dean stunned asks

What?? You know about the mark then??....what “havoc” will it cause then??

Sarah

I only know some things....for starters, I know the exact story of that queen quite well....

Dean

Then what is it?

Sarah

She was called “Juliet” and she was an exquisite queen with an enormous palace. The palace had a lot of servants and guards. Any man who ever knew her would immediately fall in love with her thanks to her beauty and purity that the whole reason she was given the name of “the queen of purity”;she had that very special elegance and purity in her.

 Once she felt for a king who loved her as deep in return. But the trouble was, he was already married. The king’s wife didn’t afford losing her husband,

 so she found herself a witch whom she asked for some powerful magic, an enchantment to imprison “Juliet” forever.

 The curse she imposed upon her has been keeping her locked up for all those years ago. The mark spares her once again. It frees her and her whole palace. If it happened, she would be busted out of her imprisonment together with all her soldiers, guards and servants as well. As she did, she’d grow utterly obsessed by the one bearing the mark. Her own aspiration would be to eternally have the man at any cost. Should he reject her, she’s gonna tear the whole universe apart until he complies.

Dean keeps quiet for a few seconds then with a weak grin he utters.

Well then, if she’s that much beautiful as you said then where’s the problem?!

Sarah

The problem, Dean, is that whenever she touches your soul, you’re gonna endure that kinda torment that equalizes the anguish of numerous hundreds of thousands of years. Every single time she reaches your soul and gets you, you’re gonna go through that agony she was experiencing herself during all those long endless years she spent locked in that awful mark. That’s her curse. After all she, despite of her utter beauty, can’t get the man. Because whenever she ever tries to get him, she’s gonna cause him the kind of pain he’ll never tolerate.

Dean

How is this even possible?

Sarah

It’s the curse of a sorceress. Very ancient kind of magic, that kind of ancient that makes it so powerful. Right now, she’s not just searching for a man to love, she needs someone for her to touch his soul, for it to keep replenishing her own emotionally and spiritually before she could even consider getting his body. What that queen’s gonna need from you is something you’ve never known before. It’s gonna be something far much more worse than anything you’ve ever imagined in your whole life!

Dean

Didn’t expect it to be that much nasty! So Crowley was right then.

Sarah

Unfortunately, it’s true. That mark’s so powerful. You won’t be able to bear it and you won’t afford to sacrifice too.

Dean wondering

I don’t understand! Why do you keep saying I’m not gonna  have to sacrifice? Should I give my consent for her to get me?

Sarah

Yeah, you must say “yes” each and every single time she desires to take you. And each time you do, she’s gonna feed on your soul. Emotionally, she does need that of course after thousands of years she spent trapped in that awful prison without love! And after that, she leaves you for some months to recover then gets back to take what she wants once again. When she does, she’ll again need you to say “yes” and so on. And every time it happens, it gets much worse! More painfully and more viciously it’s gonna get by the time!

Dean

I can’t believe it! Is it that much horrible?

Sarah

Unfortunately, yes.But the physical pain one experiences after every single time would rather be described as some marginal side effect. The trouble is the spiritual one! That’s a thing I’m sure you didn’t go through anything that could be as bad as it is! Here, I’m talking about souls! Souls are some very tiny and precious little things we possess. They are powerful indeed, really powerful but suffering that much excruciating pain is beyond their capabilities!

Dean

So you think I’m not capable of tolerating that kinda pain and so I’m gonna say no! Which would piss her off enough to tear that world apart!

Sarah

At least that’s what I saw! That “destruction”. It’s gonna be because of that mark. And for that, I asked your brother to kill you. If you remain a demon, you’re gonna raise hell on earth together with the king of hell. And if you do turn back human again, the queen of purity will simply crush every single thing around you till she gets your consent! And you’re not gonna do it; you won’t afford to sacrifice, you won’t agree to her terms anyhow.

Dean

Then I’m finding myself some other mark apart from that doomed one! There are forty other marks that I can choose from!

Sarah

And what if you can’t? What if you ran out of time before you could and the king of hell took over you?

Dean jerks up from his seat and angrily says.

So what other solution do I have? I can’t forever be a demon and neither can I turn back human! If you haven’t noticed yet, I already can’t die! No one can kill me because if it really happened, the last blade, Crowley has, would simple get me back from the dead! So, give me what you want, what am I supposed to do?

Sarah

Dean, you do seem like a very good person.I’m really sorry for what you’re going through. But you are, for real, surrounded by a lot of troubles! But, there’s no much time for you to think, you’ve to make your decision as fast as you can.

Dean

What decision?! All are choices are doomed!

Sarah

Do you know about the pit of death?

Dean’s shocked by what Sarah’s just said but answers her while still puzzled.

What do you propose? For me to fall in it?

Sarah replies Dean as she stands up.

That pit kills whoever soul it gets. If you found yourself out of choices; found no other mark to substitute the mark of the queen of purity, I think you’d have to pick up your own death rather than causing the demise of us all.

Dean

Well, I can’t do that! That pit kills the souls not just the bodies! If....if I throw myself into it, I won’t exist anymore; like I’ve never been ever born!....not in heaven nor in hell will I go!.....won’t meet my family or my friends ever! I’ll simply be “a never existed one”!

Sarah

Which is a choice you’re gonna have to make yourself!

Dean

Why should I believe any word you say?! What if you’re working with Crowley; a trick to sway me for not taking the mark?! Maybe, it’s for your own gain for me to remain forever a demon and be Crowley’s bitch!

Sarah

But I didn’t lie to you. I’m giving you a proof of my honesty. Here, if you want, I could simply tell you what Sam’s doing right now. For making sure I’m not deceiving you, I’m gonna make you that one favor.

Dean

What you’re talking about?

Sarah

I’m talking about Sam’s betrayal....

Somewhere else, Sam’s vigorously knocking the door to Mary’s house while calling out for her to open up. Mary gets to the door and opens it while hysterically crying and sobbing as she does, totally terrified. Sam enters the house and speaks to her trying to make it better.

Are you okay?

Marry horrified

It’s here....it’s in here, Sam....

Sam

Don’t worry. It’s come to his end!

Mary

Sam, it’s too powerful! Why if you can’t kill it?

At that moment, the barking of the hell hound breaks in.....Mary, who was already erratic, starts screaming while Sam looks around trying to pinpoint its actual spot then again he turns to Mary.

Mary, where’s the salt?

Mary

Inside, I’ve already made myself a big circle of it in my room.

Sam

So let’s go in there then.

Sam and Mary head to her room. They stand in the salt circle after slamming the door behind them. The hell hound starts its scary barks tempting to break through the door which intensifies Mary’s horror. Sam leaves the circle and stands just in front of the door with his knife in hand waiting for the hell hound forced entrance; intending to get him killed when Mary yelps saying.

Sam....please, get back in the circle!...you won’t be able to kill it....it’ll finish you off!

Sam

Mary, just keep still where you are....it’s not my first time to ice one like it.

The hound proceeds hitting the door even more stronger till it, the hound, shatters some parts of it.....Sam’s still on his guard to start the fight. The hound breaks in, instantly attacks Sam thudding him down to the ground. But Sam’s still keeping his firm grip on his knife which he skillfully raises up in the air while still pushed to the ground and manages to wound the hound till it starts bleeding on him then it gets away from Sam. Silence dominates the place for a few seconds before it gets broken once again.

Mary

Did you hurt it? Did it leave?

  

Sam

No, not yet...it’s just a tiny injury, won’t be enough though!

Mary

Sam, maybe you should just leave.....maybe , we should leave, turn our backs and run as fast away as possible! It’s already wounded maybe it wouldn’t be able to follow us anymore if we ran away right now!

Sam takes a thorough look around still keeping its grasp on his knife and cautiously watching it all.

No, Mary, no....it won’t be enough....I’ve to kill it...

At that moment, the hound promptly attacks Sam once again, injures him so that the knife drops off his hand. Mary scared lets out a loud cry. Sam’s lost his knife! He takes a look at her and finds her somehow far....the hound’s intending to strike back, killing Sam this time....and Sam realizes it well....but all of a sudden, the hound soars away from Sam, hits the wall and then falls down.

Sam looks around trying to figure out what happened! All he glances was Dean.....he’s pushed the hound away from Sam and he’s holding the knife now. Sam gets stunned after seeing his brother on the spot so he starts saying.

Dean....give me the knife...

Dean, on the other hand, keeps glancing Sam with pure angst but says nothing.

Sam

Dean....give me the knife before it strikes again!

Dean

I’ve made sure to give it the well punch! He won’t! I’m a demon and I can see it quite well....I’m the one who’s gonna kill it...

Dean turns back to the hound to finish it off while Sam follows him saying

Dean, no....no....don’t do this....wait!

But Dean kills it anyway in spite of Sam’s quest!

Dean and Sam get back home after killing the hell hound and saving Mary’s life. Dean gets to the hall after arriving the place, he’s totally exhausted and weirdly- to Sam’s bewilderment- very quiet. Sam, on the other hand, follows him to the hall quite infuriated and angry.

Do you really think it’s all over now that you killed it? Really thinking I’m not finding myself some other hound or what?

Dean calmly replies with grief choking his voice.

Crowley was right! You did betray me! You looked me in the eye yesterday and said you’re not intending to close the gates of hell!

Sam angrily

You know what, Dean? I’m really fed up and I’ve had enough of you! You can’t understand what kind of a burden I’m keeping on my shoulders! I had a glorious chance at killing that hell hound today, it’d been quite simple but you took it from me! I’ve been waiting for that moment for a hell of a long time! And you sabotaged it all! You are not getting your head around how much I’m so hell involved in all of that! I’m backed into a corner, man, from every inch! I didn’t wanna tell you this, but Lucifer’s packing a whole new army for getting back to the world! I’m going to hell and he’s up and around again very soon to perish the whole planet alive!       

Dean a bit shocked

What are you talking about?

Sam impulsively

Well, I guess you should have listened to me earlier!....Lucifer’s waiting for me in hell! And his supporters are everywhere around me tailing me wherever I go! I’ve so much weight on my shoulders and today you deprived me of my last hope at freeing myself!

Dean

And who told you that Lucifer’s coming back?

Sam

I saw his army with my own eyes! I didn’t want you to know....but we’re screwed! We’re kept in a siege that our enemies had trapped us in!

Dean exhausted yet disturbed comments back

So Lucifer’s planning his way out of his jail then? That’s what we needed as if we have ain’t already enough!

Sam

So that’s it? That’s all you’ve got?! It’s a catastrophe! A biblical apocalyptic one!

Dean

What do you want me to say? All we’re going through is already catastrophic!

Sam

No, not all of it, not to that extend anyhow! At least not if you’d just backed down and allowed me to carry out my first trial again today! It’d been so much more better than this now!

Dean

Even if I’d known about Lucifer’s whole terrific plan, I wouldn’t have allowed it! I’m not letting you go on a suicide attempt, Sam!

Sam angrily

That’s what I expected! You won’t afford to accept the sacrifice and you’re simply just willing instead to see the whole world torn apart and diced in front of you rather than letting me close the gates of hell! Look at me, now Frank’s getting back with the third mark he got and you’re taking it then getting back human. So you see, right now, I’m gonna be the one to decide what exactly we’re doing next! You’ll help me as well and this time, you won’t object instead you’re gonna be the one helping me closing those nasty gates to the rotten. Hope I’m being clear!

Dean

No, I won’t allow it! I’m not taking the third mark!    

Sam gets shocked and infuriated even more.

What?....are you crazy??

Dean

I went to the witch, Sarah, and she told me about the mark. The queen of purity mark. It’s not something that I should get...

Sam

So what now? You’re choosing to stay as a demon or what?

Dean

I said I’m not taking that mark of the queen of purity. Cas betrayed me and lied to me just as you did, you too did betray me and lied to my face so that leaves Frank to eventually verifies Crowley was true when he said that you all betrayed me....for that, I’m not taking it!

Sam impulsively yelps

So you’re listening now to what’s coming out of your mouth?! I’m kept on telling you all the disasters we’re facing while you keep on clinging to your demonic existence?! What Sarah mentioned was true! You’re not affording to sacrifice me because of your own selfish obsession! And not only that, you’re so willing to stay as a demon and let Lucifer guide you through the whole destruction path he’s gonna lead on earth once he’s back!

Dean moves to some chair at the hall and wrecked he sits down silently for a few seconds then utters to Sam who’s steaming in anger still standing just in front of him.

If I get that third mark, I’m freeing the queen of purity together with all her soldiers and servants; the whole palace indeed. That queen’s doomed and that what Sarah told me, because of that queen I’m gonna inflict a mass destruction on this world!

Sam

Don’t know why Sarah said that about the mark and that it’ll harm you but what I do know is that it’s our only option; we have to get you back as human then get back to our greater concern; Lucifer and his damn army!

Dean

Why don’t we fetch ourselves some other mark? Why am I enforced to take that particular creepy mark?

At that moment, Frank arrives home. He gets to the hall, places his bag aside and then says.

Because we don’t have much time to search for another! Cas’s grace’s wearing off inside of you and that mark is our sole chance.

Frank sits down with a small chest on his lap then Sam asks him

Did you get it?

Frank

Yeah, I did. The mark of the queen of purity’s inside the chest. You won’t imagine the troubles I went through to get you this one! Till I finally found it and grabbed it here quick. Time’s not in our favor when it comes to finding you any other marks then for you to take it. What’s the problem, why are you rejecting to take it?

Dean stands up and replies

I won’t take that mark! Sarah told me that once I’ve taken it, I won’t be willing to accept any kind of sacrifices. She did also tell that the queen of purity’s gonna break free from her imprisonment bringing chaos and torment up with her on the entire world.

Sam

The real chaos’s gonna be because of Lucifer and you if you remain a demon and contribute in his transgressions, no mark has to do anything with that! And the sacrifice Sarah referred to is your affording to give me up for closing the gates of hell.

Dean

But I can assure you that’s not what she said on my visit to her today! She was quite specific and mentioned that damn mark as a source of the mass destruction!

Frank looks astonished at Sam after hearing him talking about Lucifer to Dean so he tells him.

So, you’ve told him about Lucifer then!

Dean to Frank

So you too knew about it? You two were planning on keeping it from me or what?

Frank

Dean, that’s not important right now. What really confuses me is your refusal to take the mark! You already took two before that one and each affected you for only a week’s time and this one is no different so what’s the problem?

Dean

The problem is what Sarah told about that particular mark and how I’m not supposed to take it! And for that I’m not.

Frank

So do you have another option? You do realize that Cas’s grace’s wearing off from your body in a day or two time because of your counter-demonic power and this way Crowley’s really taking over you in no time. Is there anything you may offer regarding this aspect?

Dean

Maybe, you’re wrong; maybe, Cas’s grace can last longer than this for some more days or so during which, you can get more time searching me some other mark among the forty that do exist!

Sam keeps quiet for a few seconds and gradually comprehends Dean’s insistence on finding another mark then says.

Something’s definitely happened to you! You’re not trusting us thanks to what Cas did to you!

Silence dominates the place for quite some time. Each of them three remains quiet. A few moments later Dean breaks it telling

Of course it did. What really happened is that my friend whom I trusted dearly looked me in the eye and promised me, I did trust him but guess what, he betrayed me! He deceived me, manipulated me, stabbed me from the inside! He back-stabbed me and betrayed me despite of my utter trust in him! I believed he could do the right thing at least for once but look what happened?!...I guess I’m having some troubles trusting people now anymore. Do you understand?

Sam

Yeah, I do....for that I’m also noticing how much it’s clouding your judgment. You’re resenting us for what Cas did to you!

Dean

You can’t just expect me to trust anyone right now, am I wrong? I’ve already made my decision; I’m not taking the mark.

Sam

Dean, you’re picking the wrong side. You’re also making the greatest mistake of your whole life! If you chose to side with Crowley, he’d destroy us all! And let me tell you this, I’m not allowing it!

Dean

What do you mean?

Sam

Look up!

Dean looks up to see the whole hall ceiling painted with demonic symbols and that he’s locked himself into one trap set just above his head once he’s picked that chair he’s sitting on. Just as Dean glances them, he gets stunned then turns his glance toward Sam and shocked he proceeds to him.

A devil’s trap?!

Sam

Once you left home today, I knew I’m gonna have to be on my guards! I knew how Crowley’s words had screwed your mind!

Dean

So you’re imposing me into taking that mark, is that it?

Sam

You’d do the same for me, if you were in my shoes. I can’t bear the thought of you being a valet demon for either Crowley or Lucifer!

Dean frightened proceeds.

Sam...you don’t know what Sarah told me! That mark....I can’t endure it!....I can’t take it, you’ve got to believe me, please!!

Frank

Sarah knows nothing about it....she’s wrong!

Dean

Is she?!....that mark frees the queen of purity!....the burden of it is intolerable!

Sam

What does it mean “intolerable”?!

Frank

Surely you’re not listening to this, are you Sam? You already know that the effect of each of those marks only lasts for one single week!

Sam

At least I’ve to listen to know what exactly she could have told to scare him that much from that mark!

 

Dean

She said that should I take the mark, the queen’s gonna tail me to the end of the earth....and if I decline, she’s gonna kill each and every one around me! She’ll ruin everything!

Sam

Let’s say she’s right, Dean....where’s the problem? Ain’t it better than remaining a demon?! To be with the queen is far so much more better than staying a demon, still can’t see what’s wrong with that?

Frank

That is if Sarah’s even telling the truth!

Sam

Exactly! Worst case scenario, it’s still better than the mark of Cain!

Dean’s eyes tearing up as he says.

Brother, don’t compel me to take that mark! If that queen ever lays a hand on me, she’s gonna torment making for hundreds of thousands of years she’d already suffered before! I won’t stand that anguish!

Sam gets disturbed and turns around confused and distressed then against turns back to Dean once more but says nothing. Instead, he looks at Frank and asks him.

Frank....is there even a slight chance that what he says is true?....Is that queen of purity  really capable of hurting him that way?

Frank

No, I already told you he won’t even feel the effect of that mark. I’m not ever were to do anything that could harm you, Dean! You’re like family to me....I just want you to get back human. I want to put an end to your misery today once and for all. And I’m absolutely sure of my information regarding that one mark.

Dean to Sam

Sammy.....please, you gotta believe me! If you do this to me, I don’t even know how you’re gonna function with all your guilt!

Sam says with his eyes turning red out of nervousness and stress.

Dean, don’t make it worse on me....you know how much I hate to see you like this....but I just can’t believe Sarah....but I do believe Frank!

Dean closes his eyes....his eyes are tearing up out of grief and sorrow....meanwhile, Sam highly determined takes the chest from Frank’s hand and opens it....and once he did, a bright blue gleam comes glowing from an amulet that is placed within....Sam again asks Frank

What are we supposed to do with it?

Frank replies

Just hold the amulet and place it on the mark of Cain....it’ll interact with the mark by itself.

Sam hesitates for a few seconds, looks at Dean with sorrow while Dean keeps staring at him willing for him to change his mind but Sam takes the amulet anyhow and keeps getting closer to Dean who in return keeps imploring him.

Sammy....please, don’t do this!....we still have time to back off before it’s too late!

Sam

I don’t have a choice!....and I’m certainly not letting Crowley anywhere near you!

Dean keeps staring at the amulet in Sam’s hand and he’s terrified

Awful things are gonna happen because of this one ugly mark, you know! So now you trust Frank over me!

Sam

You’re the one who lost faith in me because of what Cas did to it! You just can’t see it right now! you just can’t trust anyone because of what Cas did to you! What I’m doing now, is the right thing! You’re the one who’s gonna learn right now how Sarah’s wrong and Crowley’s a liar.

Sam keeps getting closer to Dean then grabs his arm. Dean, on the other hand, closes his eyes that are now heavily soaked in tears even with them closed then utters

You know, Sam....if Cas was here now....despite every single deed that he’d done....he wouldn’t do this to me.

Sam instantly looks at Dean angry and disturbed because of what Dean’s just said to him....he rushes himself more towards Dean and pushes the amulet closer to his brother’s arm. The mark’s in Sam’s hand just above the mark of Cain in Dean’s hand when Dean mutters

Sam, please.....I’m begging you....don’t do this to me....

But Sam does it anyway....and the amulet’s now on the mark of Cain on Dean’s arm!

Sam’s placed the queen of purity mark on the mark of Cain. The two marks are vigorously reacting with each other. And a very immense vast light beam emerges from that interaction between the two marks. A massive quake keeps trembling the whole place around which forces Sam momentarily to take a few steps backwards but the gleaming beam light keeps getting more and more intensive which tempts Sam into asking Frank as he screeches

Frank, what’s happening?

Frank keeps observing what’s happening around with a wide smirk on his face as he replies

It’s happening!.....the marks are reacting with each other.

Sam

What the hell’s happening? Is that supposed to vanquish the mark of Cain or something?

Dean gets seated under the influence of the huge interaction between the marks, still unable to figure out what’s going on around him meanwhile Frank proceeds answering Sam

The gate....my gate....it’s getting open!

Sam looks surprised at Frank....more bewildered after seeing how Frank’s started glowing in a bright immense massive light that keeps radiating out of him and filling the whole place. At that one moment, Dean collapses. Sam grows highly astonished as he keeps watching Frank and then asks once again.

Frank....what’s going on?

Frank gets inflamed by that great glare....promptly, the light completely stops and instead silence and quietness emerge the place once again. Sam, in a heartbeat, hurries towards Dean crying out.

Dean....Dean....are you okay?

Frank replies but with some sort of a different voice tune. He’s now definitely looking as though he’s someone who’s just replenished himself with some vast immense source of power and he’s certainly embracing it jovially.

The mark of Cain is gone from his hand. He’s human now, don’t worry, good for you. I’m really happy for you! Now, you’re finally free of Crowley.

Sam gets up to his feet, approaches Frank and asks with fury and anxiety.

Frank.....what happened to you??? What the hell’s wrong with you?!!

Frank with a grin

I’m not Frank....I’m that angel....you’ve freed me at last.....I’m the master of the marks.

Sam

What??? no.....no.....no....Frank, what’s happening?

Frank

I’m really thankful, Sam. Thanks to you and your brother, the gate’s opened for me once again. The gate to the giant garden of the marks. I’ve been locked away from it for so long, longer than you could possibly imagine! Banished out of it because of the forty marks I let out. I was forbidden from getting into it. Deprived of all of this power, kept away from all of this whole existence! All I’ve ever wanted was to get back once again to my own garden! The garden of the marks....I’m the guard of the garden of the marks, Sam.

Sam shocked approaches Frank as he says.

No, no,.....it can’t be true!! You’re....you’re our friend, Frank!....this can’t be true!!!

Frank

From my day one in your place, I knew I’d so much to do to get closer to you and gain your trust, you and your brother of course! So, I was the one who had to place all of those cases in your way, the book of magic, the headless horseman, even that pit of Death; I’m the one who trans-located it! All of those things I did, were with one sole purpose, getting to work with you, gaining your trust and thus getting close to you! I helped you ridding yourselves of Crowley and you opened the gate for me once again! It’s a win win, don’t you think?

Sam overwhelmed crouches down to the ground. Takes a look at Dean who’s still lying unconscious on the ground next to him. Then again turns head towards Frank as he utters

You’re lying!....you told us that the guard of the marks was locked down inside the garden not out of it!

Frank

Well, I lied!....If I’d told you the truth, you wouldn’t have trusted me! All I wanted was to get back to my garden.

Sam utters while still apparently unable to process what’s happening around him.

And what about the encampment you told us about? Was it one of lies then?

Frank

It was all a lie! Just to approach you. Since I knew that some guy had taken the mark of Cain, I felt as though the chance had finally presented itself for me once again. The three marks together with the mark of Cain were all I needed to free myself out. Opens me the gate to get out and back to my precious garden. It gives me all the power you can’t even imagine how powerful does it make feel like!

Sam takes a far look again at Dean and his eyes lay on Dean’s arm this time. A new mark appears on it now replacing that mark of Cain he once had so he speaks to Frank.

So Sarah was right then???? What she told about the queen of purity mark!!!!!

Frank approaches Sam and highly self confident he proceeds

I fulfilled my promise and your brother is back as human now. He’s free of Crowley. Now wait for the queen of purity’s arrival, she could be on her own way at any time now....

Sam overwhelmed by his shock as if a cat has got his tongue. He keeps silent while Frank proceeds.

Seeing you like this brings me no joy, Sam....so I’m doing you a solid, Dean is not gonna remember any of what happened to him. When he wakes up, he’s gonna remember nothing of what’s going on right now. He’ll forget all about once being a demon. The last thing he’ll keep in mind is his being stabbed by Metatron in the heart to the death....he won’t even remember Cas’s blazing inside of him. Because if he did recall, he’d never forgive you! That’s the best you can get, Sam, and you know it!

Frank moves towards Dean, touches his arm so his whole body gets totally illuminated and then he stands up saying.

Now Dean is back as human and he’s also forgotten all that happened. Once he wakes up, he’s gonna know nothing about it all. You broke free of Crowley’s grasp now it’s Lucifer’s turn then comes the queen of purity straight in the row. Now I’m leaving. Watch over your brother. You were like a family to me once after all.

You won’t be seeing my face in your entire again, ever!....I promise you that....I can’t....I can’t do it....not anymore....I can’t ever forgive myself!....I’m moving around from you, Dean....forever, brother....
