Disclaimer: I thought I owned them. Then I woke up. Such a shame, really.

Author's Note: My phrase for current life seems to be "better late than never", so here you go Deangirl11. A slice of hurt+bleeding!Dean. A belated birthday present for you. Hope you like it...

Spoilers/Warnings: Takes place in hell. Nothing too explicit but...you never know. It might not be for everyone. Takes place clearly before Season 4.


Hurt for Deangirl11

Hell was a totally different kind of pain, Dean thinks in his momentary reprieve from torture. There were so many ways of destroying a human body. And ever more ways of causing pain.

There was slow pain, burning pain, sharp pain, blinding pain...pain, pain, pain, literally unnumbered different kinds of pain.

But the worst pain, Dean thinks as he spits more blood through his barely-there lips, the worst pain is when he realises everything Alistair says, everything he whispers in his ears, they're all true. And that's when he breaks, not physically but emotionally, psychologically and, worst of all, spiritually.
