Note: The inspiration for this comes from Black Swan, which I saw the other night. Freaky. But this happened to Natalie Portman in the movie and I figured it could happen to Dean as well, only he got his cramp from running, not ballet dancing, hehe. Hope you all enjoy!

The shifter is dead in the dirt after a two mile chase and a silver shot to the heart. Dean's curled up in a tense ball next to it, his breathing reduced to wheezing pants as a piercing stitch in his side paralyzes his body.

"Dean!" Sam arrives at his brother's side, trying to straighten him out.

"No," Dean stalls, trying to roll away. "Jus' need a sec. S'cramp."

Sam asserts his hand in the hollow under Dean's ribcage, firmly massaging the cramped muscle.

"Ahhhh," Dean moans. "Sam…hurts…oh god."

"Shhh, it'll help…promise."

"Owwww."

"Relax…almost done. Wuss."

That's All Folks!
