Hello, this is my try to explain what's gonna happen in the new season.

"What if's" about the special children and Dean's destiny. - ENJOY -

Charade

He could hear himself scream as the creature lunched itself on him. Tearing his flesh, biting through muscles, and sinews. He could hear Sammy's scream, Sammy's begging for Lilith to stop. To not kill him. To leave him alone, and ever so slowly the world around him faded. Turning dark, turning into something much more sinister.

The pain didn't stop. It felt cold, and hot, stabbing pain, pulsating, white and angry pain. And he was afraid. And he was angry, furious. He knew he screamed for his brother, over and over again until his voice was nothing more than a mere whisper, his throat raw and torched. In his mind he always replayed the last thing he saw before his life ended. Sammy, his little brother pinned at the wall and hold into place by this bitch - Lilith, a deathly light engrossing him, eating him, mauling him… while remembering this, he was suddenly aware that the pain was gone, that he wasn't longer writhing in torture… but wasn't he supposed to be in pain? Wasn't this hell? Wasn't this what you get, if you make a deal? Wasn't he… he pried his eyes open, eyes he had shut tightly, trying to keep the pain outside in an attempt.

He opened his them to see watchful yellow eyes hovering above him.

With a jolt and a small gasp he sat up, but before he could try to flee from the demon in front of him, the man with the yellow eyes spoke: "Dean, my boy. Welcome. I'm sorry, but this was the only way to keep you safe. Safe until the time was right… until tonight."

The demon watched at Dean intently and for a moment it's features softened at the confusion evident on the young man's face.

A genuine smile formed on the creatures lips and he spoke further.

"All the special children, Dean, just to pick one? Or – maybe – all the special children, to keep one safe? To keep my foe busy? Lure him on a false track, to keep him from my actual plan? My actual special child?"

Dean watched the man with the yellow eyes still not understanding, and this time the demon snorted at his blank stare.

"Dean! Your life has been always about saving Sammy, about keeping him alive. Because he was the special child. And right, he was sort of special, because I gave him his skills. As I gave them other children his age, and I made sure that tragedy struck the families with those special children… but Dean, only one family with two children, only one…"

Dean slowly shook his head no. He wouldn't believe it. This was another way to torment him.

"Lilith, took my bait, went after those children I set up for her – to keep my heir undetected. To keep my heir safe… to keep you safe, Dean."

Green eyes met yellows and it was the sincerity in the yellow eyes, that for a first time in his life let Dean loose the staring-battle.

"Yes, Dean, yes. I came for you too. And I made you mine, Dean. All those years ago, when you where born. Since ever our blood is akin." The demon nodded.

"Lilith understood the moment she killed you, and the moment she laid hands on your brother that she did make a wrong decision. And now you're by my side. We're reunited as father and son. Our army awaits us, Dean. You and me are to fight. The war will start soon, and it's time to draw the curtain off of my charade. It is time for you to take your place beside me – son."
