All characters of Supernatural are owned by CW and following is only on the fan-fiction basis. I owe nothing more than this story.
First of all, I give my intense gratitude for the creators of this awesome show and such awesome characters.
The story of Supernatural is really one of my favourites, not because of it's awesome SFX or 'Godly' storyline but because of all that small bits that defines humanity, love for each other and most important the sense of being a family. It's my second loved series after Charmed because of all that 'cute' family bonding. [I know that fans of SPN will curse me for comparing it with Charmed, but I put SPN in my fav. list to #2 just because Charmed aired first :P though that's my personal view.]
I loved the finale of SPN S5, but I hated that Adam was left out of the main storyline even though this story is all about keeping the family safe and one. May be they do it in future. But anyhow I decided to write after the events of 6x11.
The story of three brothers-Dean, Sam & Adam.
Notes- The story is in AU of course. Contains no *slash*. English is the second official language in my country so I ask for forgiveness beforehand for any major grammatical mistake. Contains events from S6 E11 so may contain spoilers for many.
Characters: DEATH, Dean, Sam and Bobby. Adam (mentioned.)
MY BIG BROTHER.
Chapter I - Remorse
It was almost like the silence after a storm passes away.
DEATH had restored Sam's soul. Much to Dean's dismay, he was feeling more pain on leaving something behind than the scream Sam was letting out during the soul implant.
DEATH came out of the panic room leaving Sam in Bobby's care, signalling Dean to follow him.
They came in to the dining room. DEATH spoke, "Now before I leave, I would like to remind you that you need to keep digging on the topic of souls. It's important, for both you and me. Trust me you will need it."
Really? After all what I and Sam went through? Screw this grand plot! Screw you!
Dean was thinking loud. He flinched when DEATH stared at him as if, 'I can hear you mind even before you process.'
"Be respectful child." DEATH warned Dean. Dean lowered his eyes and before he could've raised them DEATH was gone.
That night was rough for Dean. Sam was now resting in the room next to his, in deep unconscious like sleep after DEATH had put his soul back.
Dean envied the unconsciousness that Sam was enjoying. He could use one.
He was quiet since all ordeals had finished. He was quiet physically though, the truth was that he was having a troublesome debate between his mind and consciousness called 'soul'. He doubted though, that he still has a soul.
'.. .one Dean! I will bring only one of your brothers.'
'OK! Bring Sam back. Save Sam, please, I beg you.'
'No second thought eh? Oh well then...'
DEATH sighed and that had such awful cold vibe.
Dean had not noticed it then, but now that stirring had stopped, he saw the salt left at the bottom his lemonade.
He had deliberately left Adam back in that pit. He had known and had left Adam back there. Back there with the most diabolical powers in his known universe. The guilt was choking his soul.
He admitted, since he and Sam were together most of the time after they were born, he had to think about Sam almost involuntarily. Adam was a new variable. Someone he got to know only a year ago. They were not close. But then, Was Adam so unimportant and a stranger that Dean almost forgot about him? He didn't even mentioned about him all this time not even once. But why was he remembering him now?
Adam was happy with his mother, oblivious to John's real identity; to Dean; to Sam; to hell; to heaven; to whole damn apocalypse. But then he was killed.
Adam was killed for the same sense of 'revenge' that he and Sam has done in the past five years with their lives. He was killed in a fight that he didn't belong to. No one was there to save him or his mother.
But then he was alive again. He was promised a blissful life with his mother. He got to meet Dean and Sam. And then he was tricked again. He was someone's vessel and then he ended up in an unknown abyss. I wasn't bad that he was dead first in heaven but now both his body and soul were trapped with Michael and Lucifer for an eternity.
This time too no one was there to save him. Not even Dean. Because he is no one!
Dean thought, 'He is down there somewhere.' He would've tried to save Adam too, if only he had known any way. But he doesn't. And on the top of all, he had chose Sam over him.
He cursed his existence. It was hard to bear the pain of leaving his youngest brother for the cost of another. He wanted to cry, though his soul needed more than crying.
"You came for me!" Adam murmured. His mouth was still full with blood after Zachariah had messed with their body.
"We don't leave family behind." Dean replied, "I'm always there to protect you no matter what."
"Yeah! Right!"
Dean looked towards the voice. His eyes went wide with surprise and shock. His face was looking back at him, with a look of disgust.
"Family comes first. I need to protect my brother. I need to protect whatever of my family is left." This Dean mimicked in the voice of Dean of the times when Dean had said those words.
"Who the hell are you?" Dean demanded immediately going into 'angry-mode', failing to notice that he was dreaming.
"Who, me? I'm... what can you call... yeah I'm your soul." The figure replied, "And right now I wish that I could just leave that body of yours. I feel tainted to even occupy that hypocrite body of yours."
Dean gasped, but immediately understood why his soul might say so.
Dean's soul continued, "You know, Dean, you should drop this act that you care for the world, innocent people or even yours so called family. You're just selfish and want what you cherish. You don't need 'the' Sam. You just need a person called Sam who is your younger brother beside you. You, the big brother; Sam, the younger brother and since you want it this way, it should be this way. You don't care if Sam has his own needs or what he thinks. You just need a 'Sam'. You just need Sam and not Adam because he is not someone who you want in your life. Isn't it?"
Dean silently heard his soul. It was harsh, it was bitter, it was unjust. But it was the truth. He admitted that Adam isn't someone who he wanted.
But if he doesn't need him why does it still hurt. His heart was hurting as if pierced by a thousand needles.
Dean woke up all sweaty, his heart still aching from the pain of guilt. Why was there guilt?
He looked outside the window, it was still dark, but it was raining hard with non-stop thunders and lightning. He said, "Adam, I'm sorry."
Dean was tired and was trying hard to sleep even since last night's dream. However whenever he tried to close his eyes, Adam's pleading voices came to his head.
"Dean! Dean! Help me! Help me. Please help me!"
The last time he heard his voice. The voice of desperation and a faith in his brother, but Dean had broken that faith. He didn't help Adam. He tried to close his ears with pillow, as if they will help.
Buzzzz!
He jumped at that sudden sound. It was the alarm. It was 7:30 am.
He changed his sleeping clothes and went to get fresh. After an hour or so he came down in the dining room. Bobby was already there, so was Sam. Bobby was reading newspaper and didn't pay attention to Dean. Sam was cooking bacons. The room was awkwardly silent.
Dean tried to break that silence, "Good morning."
Bobby stared from behind the papers. Sam, without turning to Dean replied, "Good morning Dean."
Dean was disappointed. He expected a warm reply to get into the mood after last night's nightmare. He thought of pissing Sam off, but didn't have the courage. He wanted some support after what he had been last night but instead got Sam's cold attitude. He was almost to tears, but quickly cleaned his eyes before Bobby or Sam could've seen him. No one noticed. Even he didn't notice the tears in Sam's eyes.
Breakfast session remained awkwardly silent until Bobby got up to bring some paper cuttings and present day's newspaper to discuss the pressing issue.
Apparently, the supernatural society was making too many appearances in the general society. Organised attacks and sudden uprising was visible.
Alphas, the Purgatory, topic of souls.
They remembered their in-vitro cases, before Sam was given his soul back.
I hope it is readable. Please give reviews, both +ive and –ive. 2nd Chapter's almost done. Will be uploading it shortly. And yes, Adam is in it.
