A Bit Hung Up

Challenge word: Drip

Dean can't come to the phone, he's a bit tied up right now…..those Wendigos are mean like that.

***********

Darkness.

Cold.

Silence.

Broken by a groan as Dean surfaces, briefly; finds himself hanging painfully from the wrists, shoulders nearly dislocated, breathing constrained.

"Hayley…?" rasping, hoarse.

Silence. Almost.

Breathing.

A rhythmic drip, drip, drip of water onto cold stone.

The faint sound creates a raging thirst that nearly drowns the pain.

Sam will stop at nothing to find them.

He knows it and fears it – Sam on his own against the Wendigo - Dean's heart strains with anxiety.

Sam's been out of this life for so long, and has never been so alone.

Dean almost hopes the kid won't come.
