A/N It seems I just keep pumping out stories! So, this is Dean's POV, but you're Dean. I hope you enjoy and it's not too confusing!


Imagine this…

You're lying in bed, drifting in that state between asleep and awake, you're relaxed and comfortable…and then you jolt awake. You're in a room, but not the room you fell asleep in. There's blood everywhere, on your hands, up your arms, covering your clothing and the walls and pooling of the floor.

And there are bodies, lying with their arms outstretched to you, their faces frozen in an expression of pleading horror. They're lying around you, all people you know, all people you feel guilt over. You ignore them, instead running directly to the body farthest away, to your brother. You fall to the floor, scooping him up and holding him in your arms. You shake him, yelling his name. You feel wetness in your eyes but you quickly brush it away, continuing to shake him and yell until your voice is just a whisper.

This time, when you feel the moisture, you let the tears fall. You're shaking, squeezing your brother, wondering what you'd done…and then you hear a voice. It's calling your name, far away and urgent. The ground starts to shake, the walls crumble, the floor disappears from under your feet…and you bolt upright. Your breathing is labored and you look to your side. Your brother is there, alive and well, looking at you worriedly, saying your name and asking what's wrong. You ignore his questions and pull him into a hug, sighing in relief and laughing.

It's a dream….it was all just a vivid dream. Or was it? You can't be sure, your mind is screaming at you to go back to sleep, that something was missing, that you still need to continue the dream. But your brother is in frount of you, looking at you like your crazy, and he's alive. In the dream, he was cold and lifeless, his eyes unseeing, and you don't think you can go back. But what if you must? What if, yes it is a dream, but in this dream holds the key to your survival, to your brother's safety? Would you go back? Back to the world with the blood and the death and the hurt and the guilt? Would you make that choice, just to save a brother that might be dead?
