Hey guys…quick one shot that came to me while watching season 3 that I taped. Takes place between Season 3 and 4. Reviews are loved!
Summary: Sam had said that he would go to any length to save Dean…now only a few weeks after Dean's death, Sam decides he cannot go on without his brother and feels he must do something to get his brother out of hell.
Disclaimer: Wish they were mine but they are just too expensive for me right now.
No other love like Sacrifice
Dean's been dead for two weeks, four days, and ten hours, the same amount of time my life has been in ruins. I think about him all the time and ways to still save him from eternity in hell, but every way I turn just leads to another dead end. I left Bobby about a week ago in a motel we were staying in. I could no longer stand the constant watching and hounding he threw my way, always thinking that I would do something stupid just like my father and brother had done. Although now I understand why my brother did what he did for me. Since a young age, he was told to protect me and took it upon himself to do just that, even if it killed him. As I sit here in this dingy room, where the wallpaper is cracking and falling off the wall, and the smell of smoke and mold surround me, I realize that love comes with sacrifice. My mother sacrificed her life for me, my father sacrificed his life for Dean, and Dean sacrificed his life for me. All the death and soul selling was for me. My mother died protecting me, my father knew I could not survive without Dean, and Dean knew I could live a better life than he ever could. But me, I never sacrificed anything for my family. I grew up with safety from my dad and brother, I went to college and was able to live a normal life for two years without being bothered by my family or reminded of what lurked in the shadows.
I know now that it is my time to do something for my family, even if it means that I won't get my happy ending I so desperately want and right at this moment I know not burning my brothers body was the best thing I could have done. It gives me a chance to right the wrong my existence has caused. I grab a piece of paper and write a note that explains what will happen to the man that has been there for me and treated me like family, Bobby. As I finish, the realization of what's to come finally hits me and the pen falters. Doubt floods my mind, trying to convince me that my intentions are not going to make everything better, but my Winchester stubborn streak breaks the doubt and I quickly finish the letter and put it in an envelope and send it out to Bobby. I grab some items I know I will need and head out of the room.
Turning on the Impala I sit and listen to the gentle, calming hum of the engine. Tears threaten to fall but I push them back. Weakness cannot be present in my mind, there is too much at stake. If I want to get this done right then I have to be strong. So I drive around till dark overcomes the light and reach my destination. I turn the car off, leave the keys in the ignition, and grab my cell phone. I look at the picture of Dean and I that was taken during our Prank Wars and laugh a little, those were the good times that kept me going during our never ending crusade to find Dad and mom's killer. I turn my phone off and leave it on the passenger seat and get out of the car. The only thing I carry with me is a small tin full of the required items as I make my way to the end of my line. I dig through the dirt and place my life in the hands of who ever may be watching.
Standing up I turn to face my destiny. One with a beautiful body and piercing red eyes.
"Oh Sammy it's so good to see you. Though I'm a little surprised that you didn't come a little sooner."
"I'm not here to make small talk. I want to make a deal."
"Can't say I didn't expect this. You Winchesters are all the same. But sorry Sam, I can't help you this time. There is nothing you can give me."
"Your forgetting something…I am supposed to be your leader. I have been learning for a while now how to control my powers. All I need to do now is flip that switch and I can be more powerful than anyone, and if you don't give me what I want you will be on the very top of my list to be permanently exterminated."
"You don't scare me. No one will follow you if you decide to join us anyway. You're just not our kind of leader."
The crossroads demon smiled and laughed. I knew I had to show her I meant business so I did the only thing I could think of. With a squeeze of a fist, I had her gasping for breath. I focused my mind to lighting her insides on fire and burning her from within. Her cocky attitude gave way to fear making me feel accomplished. As she struggled for breath I heard her faint voice call out for me to wait. Releasing her, I waited for her to speak.
"Alright, alright! What can you offer me?"
"You can be my second in command when I take over what is rightfully mine, and in exchange, I want my brother released from hell and his contract to be given to me. He is to return to life as he was before with no remembrance of his time spent in hell."
"Is that all?"
"No. I also want you to bring my father back and allow him to be with my brother again. Lastly, they cannot be allowed to make any deals to bring me back from what I am to become. Is it a deal?"
I stood there looking at the pathetic filth in front of me, hoping she wouldn't see through the mask I put up.
"And how do I know you're not just going to either kill me right away, or not become our leader?"
"That's just a risk you're going to have to take. But just to let you know, Winchester's always keep promises made."
"Fine, sounds like a deal."
I smirk and tremble with anticipation as I walk toward her to seal my fate. Whatever I become, I know I am doing what is right. Hunters can deal with me if I turn evil, and I won't hate or blame them because I know that it is their job to kill evil, even if it was once human. I grab her roughly and kiss her deeply while I feel the wind pick up, and just like Eva said, the switch was flipped and the power coursed through me. The demon yanked back from the kiss watching as my eyes changed to a metallic yellow. The control I had was stripped bare and I felt the intense urge to kill. Immediately I focused on the crossroads bitch in front of me and burned her alive with just a blink of an eye. Her scream echoed in my head and I finally felt content with what was done. Gradually, the power dwindled and became dormant, ready for use whenever I needed it. I felt changed, but the control over my feelings was still present, though scarcely. I walked to the Impala and opened the trunk, grabbing the gun that could end it all. It took a long time to track the colt and to get it back but it was well worth the time and pain to get it. I place the gun in the glove compartment with a small note attached to it then get in the car to return to my room hoping to catch a glimpse of what I can never have again.
I roll up to the motel, park the Impala away from the room, and get out. I walk to the room quietly and look in the window. There standing in front of me are a very confused Dean and John. The sight brings tears to my eyes, which roll down my face to land on the concrete. Dean notices the note that sits on my pillow and I know that my time to leave has come. I take one last look at my family and burn their faces into my memory knowing that this could very well be the last time I see them again. I turn and walk away from everything I've ever known and as I pass by the Impala, I run my hand along the hood and whisper a thank you to the only home I remember and hold dear to my heart. Where I will go now will not be of fun memories and love from family members. No, it will be of bone, flesh, and fear, my new home for the rest of eternity.
End
I left the story open for more and I might continue it if you want me to. I was thinking of making the second part years after Sam makes his deal and sees Dean and John again. Tell me what you think.
Thanks for Reading!
