Valac just stood there laughing at Dean, watching his temp to break free. Thinking to himself how funny it was to him, they didn't even know that he had placed an enchantment spell on the ropes to hold them. Valac had no choice because of Castiel. He knew what Cas was capable of doing. Valac wanted to make sure there was no way for them to escape his grasp this time like the last time He used all precautions. Too sure there was no way anyone could save them. But somehow Valac knew those spells would not hold forever. He had to act fast, so he walked back into the room where all of them were. Comes in and looks at all of them. He can tell that Aphrodite was crying, Dean couldn't even look, Sam was just sitting there with his game face on. Castiel was the biggest mystery to him.

Valac: : “Hope you all said your goodbyes. Because this will be the last time you will ever see each other. No one is coming to save you. I already made sure of that. Dean as you know, I kept Aphrodite alive to finish her at this moment in life. She is at her weakest. She had your son. She knows that it's like being in love with someone. I have you to thank for that Dean, if you didn't fall in love with her she would be able to get out of everything, any trouble that is thrown at her away. Now she will know what it's like to leave everything behind. As for you Dean Winchester, you know what it feels like to lose everything in your life just like I did. I hope you're ready for that.”

Dean: “Fuck you Valac. Never going to happen, you don't know Aphrodite like I do. You don't even know the greatest hunters in the world. I can promise you if you kill her you will have every one of them after you. I think you should think twice. You should also know that no matter what happens, you will never be able to kill her. You really shouldn't talk, you think you have her all figured out then next thing you know you don't. Trust me I know I'm her husband. I still get proven wrong. So you sure you want to do this Valac?”

Cas: “ Dean, shut up. You will get us all killed and we will not be able to avenge her. Valac, you have to think about this. Aphrodite hid from you all of these years and now, now she comes to you? What should that tell you? Maybe she is bored of Dean? Maybe she wants to raise a little hell of her own like she did before? That is why you fell for her right? Because she wasn't afraid of anything that stood in her way. She wants to be by your side for the longest time, she told me herself. She hated the fact that Dean made her fall in love with him. Valac seriously, I think you should kill Dean instead of Aphrodite, then take her as your bride.”

Valac started to think that was a better idea than having him deal with her death. Just kill him and take her. He loved it.

Valac: “ Castiel whoever said that you were dumb is wrong you're actually really smart for an angel. I like that idea better. I mean if you actually think about it.” He turns and faces Aphrodite before continuing. “ Aphrodite my love, are you unhappy with Dean Winchester? Have you finally given into the dark side of yourself. Embraced it like you did before my soulmate? The true you? Knowing that you have him in your blood? You should have known what would have happened if you tried to deny him. He will always come back, and come back stronger. There is no point in running anymore. You know just as much as I do, you are meant to be with me, not him. Let me kill him instead of you.”

Dean: “ Valac, you know just as well as I do, she will never let that happen to me. We are meant to be together. I was always meant for her. She would never go back to the way she was. I won't allow it. I'll be right here ready for her to take me back, that is what true soulmates are meant for. You honestly feel like she will ever leave me for you? You make me laugh.”

Aphrodite: “ Dean, maybe he is right. I mean think about it. How did I know he was going to be here? How can I feel him when he is close to me? Maybe I was meant to be with him instead of you. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I'm just saying, you know I love you more than anything in this world. More than I love myself, more than I love the way I was before. I am not who I was before. Maybe I lost my touch?”

Dean: “Baby that is nuts you haven't lost anything. You just been away for a while, because of me. I could never apologize enough for that. I shouldn't have let you walk away without a fight. And never looked back ever, I understand what you had to do before and I love you even more for that, but this was a fight that had everything to do with revenge and power. I figured that one out before he knocked me out. He wants me to feel what he did when I killed Nicole, his mate. The way he felt for her like the way I always felt about you. He knew this day would come. There was no way he could have asked for a better opportunity to finish what he had started. This is all my fault. I am so sorry baby.”

Aphrodite: “ Baby don't ever apologize for something that had everything to do with me. IT was my fault that I was caught the first time around. Now it's time to pay the price. I had this coming from the moment I walked through the doors of the warehouse. He chose all of this because of me. He knew I would have to find a way out or to wait for you to come rescue me like you have always done.”

Sam and Castiel just looked at each other and that was the moment they finally realized that Dean and Aphrodite had a bond like no other. A bond that was meant to last an eternity, two souls that will always find each other in the next life. Castiel had never seen anything like it before. He was taken back to the point where he was trying his hardest to reach John, with his mind. But Castiel knew there was nothing more that he could do. His chains were enchanted. He still tried John again.

Castiel: “John please, I hope you can hear me. These chains are enchanted and I did not know. We know you. Dean and Aphrodite are killing time the best they can, it is up to you know. I hope you can hear this and get back to me”

John: “ I hear you loud and clear Cassy, I'm here. Give me time. I have a plan but I need Dean and Aphrodite to continue to do what they need to. Valac doesn't know that I'm here yet. And I have the only thing that can kill him once and for all. Keep this up and it will all be done. If I die here Castiel, Promise me to take care of the boys and my Grandson. They are all that is left of the Winchesters.”

Cas: “ John, you have my word, but If I know the boys and Aphrodite, nothing will happen to you. You will return with us, and live a long happy life.”

Dean and Aphrodite stayed in their moment, trying to remember what they meant to each other.
