Title: Never Let Me Go

Author: OpheliacAngel

Genre: Family/Angst

Summary: EO Drabble Challenge: Balcony. Double Drabble. Sam had just broken Dean free from a possession that had lasted three months. It wasn't Dean's fault, but it was Sam's responsibility.

A/N: This turned out different than I expected, but I'm happy with it. Finally on time for once.


Sam knifed the last demon gunning straight for him. Satisfied, he straightened before abruptly feeling a surge of dread in his gut. He turned around to face the balcony.

Dean was perched on the banister, ten stories above the ground. Sam could have swore he screamed.

He started running forward, his mind solely on pulling Dean back from the edge when he stopped in his tracks. This wasn't the way to do it, he would need to coax his brother down to ensure his safety.

And pray that he did it in time. The right way.

"Dean!" Panicked and worried beyond belief, he still managed to keep his voice firm. He just couldn't repress the plea. "Come down, please, big brother."

His brother had been left confused and nearly catatonic from his three month possession that Sam had just managed to break two minutes before. Dean didn't really know what was going on, still, it didn't scare him any less.

"You don't need to look at me, Dean. Just listen to me. The demon's out of you, it can't control you anymore. I'm right here, okay? Right here."

"Sammy?" Dean whispers, falling backward. Sam catches him.

Sam never lets go.
