First story in a long while. Inspired not only by the song, but by a post on an rp site by a friend of mine. Thanks for the inspiration Cky!
Disclaimer! I do not own this wonderful song or show. I just borrow them for my amusement.
Warning! It's not the happiest.
oOoOoOo
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Sam read the chant with all his heart. He had to save Dean, taken in his stead. Dean, the only one who stayed true to his humanity. True to what they fought for. Who didn't loose himself to revenge. Dean had to be okay, Sam had given too much for Dean not to walk away from this. He had done everything he could, but Lucifer had risen, and when he was sealed dean had been taken with him. Lucifer had tried to take Sam, but Dean got in the way. How many times would Dean sacrifice himself for his worthless little brother. If Sam could even call himself that anymore.
Let his flesh not be torn
let his blood leave no stain
though they beat him
let him feel no pain
let his bones never break
and however they try
to destroy him
let him never die
let him never die
Sam let his emotions fuel his half plead, half order. Words spilling out of his mouth. Repeating and repeating the same phrase over and over again.
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka...eleka
The words he spoke where all he knew. The book before him the only sacred thing to him. Everything else forgotten in the wind that tried to rip not only the book apart, but him as well. The wind spun around him, but still Dean did not appear.
What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading
I don't even know what trick I ought to try
Dean, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
one more disaster I can add to my generous supply
Sam groaned in frustration. 'Is this even doing a thing to save him?!' Sam thought bitterly. Mind going to Dean. What was he going through? Was Lucifer torturing him? Or had he just destroyed Dean's soul completely? Was this just another failure Sam can add to his ever growing list? Another guilt to weigh him down?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!
They had tried, Sam had tried, to do the best they could. Still, Sam's good intentions had almost led him straight to heal, would have if Dean hadn't saved him. All the good they did, and nothing ever came of it. Nothing but pain, blood, and loss. They had lost so much. Sam had lost everything again.
Bobby...
Castiel...
Dean...
Dean!!
Sam called out their names, not knowing what to do. Not knowing where to go. Sam's chanting had done nothing more than stir up some freaking wind. Bobby was still in the hospital, recovering. Castiel hadn't been heard from since Lucifer's defeat days ago. And Dean, Dean was in hell, again, because Sam was too stupid to realize his mistakes.
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
Had Sam really been trying to do what's best? Or was he just trying to prove himself? Was it love or selfishness that fueled him? Had Ruby really tricked him, played on his good nature? Or had he known deep down, and hadn't cared? Was that why? Why Dean was suffering?
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all the earth be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Dean, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!
Sam had meant well. Had wanted to save Dean, save everyone. Make up for his past mistakes. Yeah, that had worked out so well. Not only had he nearly brought the freaking apocalypse, but he got Dean stuck in hell again. Had caused Dean more suffering, suffering that it seemed not even Castiel could get him out of. "Fine!" Sam shouted, facing the heaven's, eyes flooded with tears, "Fine! I give up! I'm evil. I'm wicked! I can't save him! Can't save anyone!" Sam began to sob, "Never again. I'll never try to save anyone again. Never again!"
oOoOoOo
Like I said, not a happy ending, but I'm not entirely sure I want it to end there. Still, I don't know if I could add more without it sucking. We'll see, for now though, it is complete.
