Ransom

'What the hell ?' Dean startled awake, groaning slightly at the pain in his chest .He looked up and for a second he got confused when he found himself behind a table instead of lying on a random bed in some random motel room .'Bobby's?' he thought and rubbed his chest , his wet palm brought his attention back to the reason of his awakening , taking a look at that he found it all bloody .

'What the fuck ?' his eyes widened and he rushed to the bathroom .Taking off his T-shirt , he stared at his chest incredulously.

"I'm quite sure this wasn't here 2 hours ago . " he said , looking at a long gash on his chest , it wasn't deep , though . He reached for a towel but his knees buckled under him ,when he felt another fiery agony .Gasping for air , he tried to regain his control ,a cold ache centered in his chest where moment's earlier he had felt a searing pain .

"Dean ? What the hell are you doing ?"

Dean hoisted his head ,when he heard Bobby's voice ."Sponging your bathroom's floor .What the hell do you think I'm doing ? "

"What did you do to yourself ?" Bobby knelt beside Dean and looked at his chest "Jesus Christ! You're unbelievable , kid . How could you manage to get hurt like this , when you're resting at home ? "

"Well , I've a couple of ways . Would you pass me that towel ? " Dean clenched his teeth .

"Really Dean , how did you end up here ?" Bobby helped him to put some pressure on his wounds .

"I woke up with some damn pain in my chest , so I came here and took my shirt off and I saw a long gash on my chest ,there was just ONE gash there , and I couldn't believe it , and now look at this , I have two of them , and this new one happened just before you showed up . So if you happened to have an angry ghost in your damn place, you better solve your problem with that thing faster . I mean before it furrows all my chest ."

"Even if there's a ghost here, it surly has some unfinished job with you ." Bobby said, trying to push the towel away ."Let me look at your chest ."

Dean tried to sit straight but then the agony came back . This time he couldn't keep himself from shouting and letting out a cry of pain ." Son of a - "he clutched his chest . Bobby was getting panicked for not knowing how to help Dean and stop the pain .

"What's going on ?" Sam appeared in the door frame ,looking still sleepy.

"Good morning honey , did you sleep well ? " Dean gasped as he felt his pain easing up a little .

"It would be better if I didn't have to jump with your yell of pain .What's wrong ? " Sam asked and approached him .

"I bet you have another gash now , let me see ." Bobby took Dean's wrist and pushed it away.

"What the hell ?" Sam exclaimed as he saw Dean's chest .Three deep gashes was on his chest , one was just oozing blood , the other two were freely bleeding .

"That's the question of the night .And I'm so done with being the sample ." Dean looked exhausted .

"It won't happen again . This phase is over ." Bobby announced .

Dean's eyebrow raised ."O,sounds like fun .Why don't I feel relieved ? "He frowned ."What do you mean by this phase is over? Anything you wanna share with the class ?"

"I think I've some ideas , these wounds are familiar . I happen to see them before ."

Dean looked confused ."A wound is a wound , I happen to see lots of them in my life ."

"Yeah ,but there are wounds, and then, there are wounds ."Bobby put the towel back and looked up at Sam."Bring the first-aid kit ,we need to stop bleeding ."

"My head is clear enough to get what you wanna say . Tell me , what's going on ?" Dean was feeling lightheaded but he couldn't just let it go ,somebody was playing with him and he so wasn't in the mood to play .

"Maybe you should wait for me to patch you up , we can talk later ."Bobby said .

"I really need to know Bobby .I mean, how would you feel if you were someone's toy and you didn't even know who is that ? Or what you're paying for ? "

"I probably wanted to know everything ."Bobby thought aloud ." Alright , look , let me cut the long story short . There's this demon called Kaya ,and he's known for doing things like that to people . But not everyone , only those who has something he wants or those who ever caused any trouble for him .These wounds on your chest are some signs ,the way they appeared and the way they look . A long shallow gash and two deep horizontal wounds across you chest . I know about it , because I've been working on it for a long time , I've studied everything about him , but you wanna know what all those information lead me to ? Nothing . I - " Bobby stopped when he saw the look on Dean's face. "What ?"

"That's not possible . "

"what do you mean that's not possible , I've everything in my journal , I can show you if - "

"No, that's not what I mean , Is there any other possibility ? 'Cuz I'm kinda sure we scratched this one 3 months ago ."

"We scratched what ? " asked Sam , entering into the bathroom .

"Kaya , the demon we killed back in Iowa ." Dean said casually , and looked up at Sam ,who was looking shocked and instantly turned his gaze away ,making Dean suspicious. "Sam? We killed it , right ?"

"Umm ... Well -" Sam stuttered .

"What the hell ? O , God , tell me you finished it , tell me you didn't lie to me again ." Dean's voise was full of fury .

"Dean . I couldn't -"

Bobby was confused ."' Whoa , wait.. What's going on here ? One second you're saying you've killed that bastard , the next you act like you weren't there at all ? "

"Well , things were a little complicated back there . I.. Umm..I had to take a nap ." Dean replied .

Bobby just stared at him, waiting for more information .

"I was there , in front of him , I wasn't in my top form but I know I stabbed him with the knife and suddenly something hit my head hard ,and everything went black." he elaborated and looked at Sam again. "When I opened my eyes,Sam was there trying to wake me up . I asked him whether we have finished the job , and... this little -...poof .. He said Yes , he said that he took care of Kaya , but apparently his definition of finishing a job has changed during the time I wassn't around ." Dean glanced at Sam angrily .

"Dean ." Sam wanted to say something but Dean didn't let him .

"What ? You didn't kill him just because Ruby told you not to ."

"She said he could be useful , you know , for finding Lilith .. Besides we're still not sure if this is Kaya's fault ."

"Well , actually I'm pretty sure ." Bobby interfered .

"Lilith ? Sam , Lilith is not our biggest concern anymore , we have a damn apocalypse to stop .But you know what ? It doesn't matter anymore . Thanks to you and that bitch girlfriend of yours , the demon you saved is back to finish his job , properly , not the way You finish a job.. Ah , just do me a favore little bro. , when you found Lilith and get revenge on her for my first death , would you please start to look for Kaya and slay him for killing me again ?" Dean blurted out .

"You're not gonna die , you idjit ." Bobby help Dean to stand up for leaving the bathroom.

Dean rolled his eyes ."Well I'll be as good as dead if we don't find Kaya first . "

"Dean , please. I'm gonna find that bastard and kill him for good ,I'm truly sorry for not doing it in the first place . I don't know how this happened , but Ruby told me -"

"Yeah , yeah ,I know what that bitch told you .You already mentioned it ." Dean gasped ." I can't believe you Sam , You're supposed to kill demons , but your best friend is a demon and now I'm hearing that you're saving them , as well ."

"I didn't save him , I just didn't finish your job ."

"Which means that damn thing is mad at me like hell and looking for revenge .Thank you . I owe you one ."

Sam looked at him sadly ."I told you I'm sorry Dean . I made a mistake and I'll fix it . I'll call Ruby now ."

"What ? No . no way , I don't even wanna hear her name again . Forget about her . If I see her , I swear I'll kill her , even in the last second of my life ."

Sam desperately looked at Bobby ,who silently told him to leave the room.

"Hey , don't even think about leaving the building ." Dean said instantly .

Bobby squeezed his shoulder ."Calm down Dean , it won't help you to get irritated ."

"How do I calm down? ..Damn it , I don't have any problem with dying .. Well , yes , I have , but that's not what I'm worried about . He lied to me , again , he keeps doing that , he knows he's wrong , but he just can admit it .That stubborn ass . I'm damn exhausted ." Dean said , sitting on the sofa .

Sam came back into the room ."Dean , give me another chance . I'll fix it ."

Dean stayed silent for some seconds , then he sighed ."We'll do it together . "

Sam smiled bitterly ."You don't trust me ."

"Sam . I don't trust your girlfriend , but that's not why I said that . I'm not gonna sit here and wait , we're stronger together . "

"Ruby is not my girlfriend ." Sam was displeased .

"Yeah , if that's your story ."

"What's that supposed to mean ?" Sam frowned .

"It means I'm not stupid , so , stop acting like I am ." the whole pain , blood loss and anger toward Sam and Ruby were making Dean feel exhausted, he closed his eyes and said "It's still in the middle of the night , we're all tired . Go get some rest , we'll deal with this one tomorrow ."

"What ? No .. we can't ..What if it doesn't wait till tomorrow?"Sam protested .

"Then you have Ruby to blame ..."Dean sighed ." Nothing's gonna happen in two hours, Sam . Get some sleep . You'll need your strength tomorrow ."

"Your brother is right ,Sam . It's not like Kaya to kill his victims easily in one night ."

Dean opened his eyes in disbelief ." Bobby ,really , you're not helpping ."

Bobby suddenly got what he just said ."O , I didn't mean it to sound like that ."

"Whatever ... I'm not gonna die quietly,anyway .If anything happens, I'll make sure nobody can sleep in two miles ."

Sam sat in an armchair next to Dean .

"What are you doing ? I think I said go get rest ."

"That's what I'm doing . I'll sleep here ." Sam shrugged .

"What ?..huh... Suit yourself . Just don't complain of stiff neck tomorrow ."

Bobby rolled his eyes ."If you need anything I'm in my room ."

"Please close the door, you snore too loud ." Dean grinned .

"Shut up ." Bobby said and walked away .
