Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There was condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in oblong glowing things that were clustered along the floors and walls of the huge, ancient-looking caverns.

For now, the ones that were cracking were the closest to the floor, but perhaps later, the figures sliding out of the pods would be sliding out onto the slimy walkways and platforms above.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.

There was light, and unconscious minds breaking through the top of the briny, harsh waters of consciousness, as their bodies did similarly and broke free from the pods, sliding to the floor, shivering in pools of slime.

Once the temporary blindness that some of them had passed, and once they were free of their sleepy stupors: somebody had some splainin' to do.

But there would be no explanations, as the only thing that could explain was only watching, silently, almost as a mother would look at their child right after it was born.

Pop. KASCHUNKhissss.

Sam's eyes fluttered open as the last remnants of sleep began to fade and consciousness returned to the youngest Winchester. His nose crinkled, his face contorted in a sour expression as he sucked on his tongue, swallowing his saliva in an attempt to rid himself of the bitter, salty after-taste in his mouth. He blinked several times while his eyes adjusted to the dimly lit room around him. The hazy green light that illuminated the room seemed to hang in the thick, muggy air around him.



Pushing down on the floor with his hand, Sam forced himself upright as his senses gradually awakened. His skin was slick and wet, covered in what felt like warm snot. His thick mop of brown hair, covered in the same snot-like residue, was plastered to his head with several strands cemented to his forehead.



His eyebrows knitted together as he looked around, confused, and tried to remember where he was. The last thing he remembered was falling into bed in the motel room he shared with his brother, Dean laying in the next bed, passed out and snoring. But this sure as hell wasn't the motel room.

Just then, Sam felt something move against the palm of his hand. Jerking his hand up, expecting some kind of bug or lizard, his look of confusion grew more intense. There was nothing there. He glanced around the floor around him, looking, searching, for whatever it was that had pushed against his hand. There was something else in the room with him, something living. He'd felt it.



Nothing in sight, he turned his attention back to the spot where he'd felt the pressure against his hand. Still, there was nothing there. He stared at the spot for several seconds before he saw it. It was subtle and barely noticeable, at first, but it became more obvious the more he focused on it.



Convinced he had to be seeing things, Sam reluctantly placed his hand against the floor again, apply slight pressure to it with his palm. He wasn't imagining things. He could feel it. A slight, movement, a pulse, the floor was moving!



"What the…?" He leapt to his feet.



It was then, while staring down at the floor, at the very spot he'd just been sitting, that Sam realized that not only was he covered in slime in a room with a pulsing floor, but he was naked.



"Ok. This is creepy," he thought aloud.

Sam's brow furrowed as his eyes darted around the room, searching for the source of the voice. He craned his neck as he looked over first one should, then the other, but found no one. The room was just as empty, aside from the pod-like things hanging all around him, as it had seemed to be when he woke up.

If it hadn't been for the small hairs on his neck standing on end, he could have probably convinced himself that he hadn't really heard anything. That he'd imagined it, just like he had to be imagining standing naked and covered in snot in the middle of a throbbing room.

"Come again?" he called out, on the off chance that he wasn't imagining things.

"Do I require assistance?" Sam echoed the question, his confusion intensifying as he started to walk around. Any concerns he had for locating his brother, figuring out where the hell he was, or finding some clothes were pushed aside as he focused on finding the source of the 'voice.' He still found no one.

"Great," Sam shrugged in defeat. He looked around the pulsing and throbbing room then back down to his own naked, ooze-covered body. He was not amused. "Well, Sam, this is just peachy," he said to himself. "You're naked as a jay bird, covered in slime, standing in someone's nose cavity and the only person you can find to talk to is some idiot from Triple A."

Sam glanced down at his nude, ooze-covered form. "A bath would be nice," he mumbled to himself. He shook his head, he couldn't believe he was doing this. "Uh...yeah, sure," he finally answered, still feeling like an idiot for talking to someone that wasn't there.

Sam glanced down as a series of lights popped up in the floor, one after the other, that stretched out in a line to form a path of sorts, similar to the lights that lined the aisles in movie theaters--albeit much creepier. His brow furrowed as he contemplated whether following the directions of a disembodied voice was the wisest decision.

After several moments of pondering, he decided that the path laid out in front of him, while maybe not the smartest of options, was really the only chance he had to figure out where he was, what the hell was going on, and where Dean had disappeared to. Sucking in a breath and letting it out slowly, Sam took his first tentative steps along the trail of lights. 'Follow the lights...' he thought to himself. 'Go toward the light...'

"Why do I get the feeling I just got sucked into my TV," he said with a frown.

Taking a moment to look around the room, Sam poked his head in first. His eyes roamed the empty chamber and, yet, found nothing--aside from the seaweed-like tendrils that were hanging from the ceiling--ominous inside. There appeared to be no places for anyone to jump out from behind which ruled out, for the moment, any threat from anything physical. But, he'd been walking around in naught but his birthday suit so far, so if anyone had wanted to do anything to him, they could have done so by now.

Sighing, Sam felt his shoulders sag as he stepped into the room.

"What the...!!" Sam shouted as the tendrils grabbed hold of him and hoisted him into the air. He fought back, twisting his body and flexing his muscles as he grabbed on to the vines and fruitlessly tried to pull himself free from their grasp.

Finally, after only a few moments, Sam--so distracted by his own struggling that he didn't realize he was being lowered again--felt his feet touch the floor again. "What the hell was that?" he shouted as the last of the tentacles withdrew.

"...or not," Sam answered. He'd just woken up--naked and slimy--in what looked like the colon of hell, there was no way he was going to be letting anyone sedate him. He looked up toward the ceiling, subconsciously assuming that was where the voice was coming from. "Who are you, anyway? And where the hell am I?"

"Riiiight, the 'Clothing Room,'" Sam said with blatant sarcasm. He looked around the room and the long, touchy-feely tentacles of...whatever. "Obviously."

Shaking his head, he lifted his eyes back toward the ceiling. "Ok...'Stacy,'" he said, turning his attention back to the 'voice.' "What'd you do with Dean?"

There was no other possible explanation for Dean's disappearance. Sam hadn't been awake more than ten minutes, twenty max, and this 'Stacy' chick had already proved to him that she had to be the one running the show, which meant she knew where his brother was.

[identity profile] thenameissam.livejournal.com 2008-06-16 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Then where is he?" Sam demanded to know.

[identity profile] thenameissam.livejournal.com 2008-06-16 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sam felt his heart drop at the mention of the word 'dead.' There's no way. Dean wasn't dead. It wasn't possible. Sam's mind was so focused the possibility that Dean, his brother, the annoying pain in the ass that had been looking after him since Sam was six-months old, was gone that he nearly missed 'Stacy' say something about being 'taken.' "Taken?" Sam asked, his eyebrows drawing together in confusion. "What do you mean 'taken'?"

[identity profile] thenameissam.livejournal.com 2008-06-16 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Great," Sam scoffed with a quick roll of his eyes. "Like I've never heard that before." What was with him and being 'chosen'? First old Yellow-Eyes feeds Sam blood when he was six months old, 'choosing' him for God-knows-what...and now this. Just as he was about to push further about his being 'chosen' and why, he stopped. Considering how Yellow Eyes had been less that forthcoming with his explanations, 'Stacy' was most likely to be just as cryptic, especially given the vagueness of all her 'answers' thus far.

"All right," Sam shrugged, deciding that, for the time being, it was best to play along, if only to get more information down the road. "Where to next?"

[identity profile] thenameissam.livejournal.com 2008-06-16 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, sure," Sam answered with a defeated shrug.
