Drag Me to Hell and Back
E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100x2
Challenge word: Sprained and Scary
Warnings: Spoilers for Season 6 E06 – Coda from Dean's POV. Sorry, no Wee!chester birthday fun or brotherly togetherness here…or Halloween for that matter!
Knuckles bloody, split, sore.
Heart aching; throbbing like a sprained ankle – a dull ache that pervaded everything.
What had he done?
All the lies, a thick black sludge pressing against the walls around his heart until they cracked wide open. Ironically swallowed up in a sea of deceit, while facing Veritas.
Lisa. Ben. Sammy.
Suddenly his fists were flying, smashing over and over into the face that ought to be more familiar than his own, but now seemed to belong to a stranger.
A monster more fearsome than any he had ever faced.
A monster wearing his brother's meat.
Uber-hunter-Sam.
He could see what this was doing to his brother.
When he remembered, he attempted to compensate by wearing the face he could recall indicated sympathy, understanding, or maybe compassion, though he knew that there was something missing.
And that the missing element meant that Dean was failing to be convinced.
The trouble was, it was difficult to care, and even more difficult to do anything about it, when all that mattered was getting the job done.
And he was.
Getting the job done better than ever before.
Better than Dean.
He thought perhaps he ought to find that scary.

What can I say - this season is breaking my heart (again...)
