Prologue :
He could feel the heat coming from everywhere around him as he ran for his life. His arm wrap around his barely conscious brother's waist, he started doubting they would make it out of these damn woods alive.
"Come on Sammy, you need to work with me here." he said giving all the strength he had left to keep his baby brother up and moving. He felt a small nod brushing against his shoulder, that was all Dean needed, to know that Sam understood him. They took a few more steps before a loud groan escaped from the younger winchester's lips. Dean shot a worried glance to his brother. Sam was as pale as a ghost, sweat was covering the major part of his face and his hair once clean and shinning was now sweaty and dirty. Dean noticed that his brother's eyelids were almost closed.
"Hey, Sammy ! No sleeping remember ?"
"Bu' 'm tired De' " he said between two ragged breaths
"I know Sam, but we have to get back to the Impala and find dad so we can get you help."
"Dad's not with us ?" Sam questioned with a worried look in his eyes
"No Sammy, you know that, don't you ? We got separated at the beginning of the hunt."
Sam didn't seem to remember at first but Dean could tell he was trying hard.
"Oh yea' right... The bridg'" The younger winchester said in a sleepy voice
"That's right, that's why I need you to stay awake and keep walking." Dean nearly begged his brother. He tighten his hold around Sam and kept up the pace.
The flames were closing around them and their last way out of this burning trap was narrowing too fast. With a last boost of energy the brothers started running towards the exit. Two minutes later, they reached their goal but only one person could fit in the small breach between the walls of flames.
"Ok Sam, I need you to listen very carefully." Dean ordered his brother. Sam opened his eyes as much as he could and looked at his brother.
"I'm gonna go first so I can help you from the other side, do you understand ?" A small "Yea'" escaped from Sam's lips.
"Good, now stay here and wait for me to call you, and don't you dare fall asleep on me Samantha !" Dean said with a small grin on his face.
"J'rk"
"Bitch" the older brother said before letting go of his hold on Sam.
Suddenly, Sam realised how much of his weight Dean was actually carrying. It was beginning to be harder for him to catch his breath and he felt his knees shaking as he tried his best to stay standing. He watched Dean run in the tiny space that was not yet on fire. He saw the flames brushing slightly against his leather jacket as he heard his brother curse between his teeth. A few seconds later, Dean disappeared behind the burning trees. Sam waited two agonizing minutes wondering if his brother was alive, trying to decide whether or not he should join him on the other side, when he finally heard it : a fainted yell from the other side.
"It's okay Sam ! You can cross now !"
Sam managed to see his brother in between the flames reaching for his hand. The younger brother stared walking towards his brother hand. He was halfway from Dean when his foot got stuck in a root. He tripped and fell face first on the dirty ground. His head connected with a rock and his vision blurred, white spots dancing in his vision. The last thing he registered was his brother crying out his name as he watched the fire climb all around him, trapping him like an animal, and then everything went black.
