I recently read sweetysmart0505's "You can't, He can". It was amazing and got me thinking, What if Dean really
did end up having to kill Sam? Would they fight? Would Sam plead with Dean? Or would it be calm, Dean striking
like the scorpion on the medallion Sam gave him so long ago. This is what I ended up with :
Dean's POV
Standing in the darkness, I hold
- fast -
against an ancient foe.
I search
- in vain -
for the source of this crazed
- rage -
then I find it and,
the confusion in his dark gaze
- confronts me
with unknown emotion - as I sink my blade
into his armored breast.
His skin splits, almost ceremoniously- and blood
- red as the moon -
flows unchecked.
As his eyes
- grow grey -
and the shadow of death
draws him away.
I sit, lost
- numb -
crying, can't understand, How I -
could kill my own brother.
he looks peaceful and innocent.
His face will not show me
- the anger and betrayal
I seek, I need - to justify this unholy act.
As my comrades
attempt to remove his empty shell
from my bloody arms -
I growl and tighten my hold.
their voices are hazy, far away, unfamiliar
Only one reaches me intact-
the only one that matters.
- I forgive you -
he whispers
You know that you would have to be the one to do it
he reminds gently
I sniffle, and shed a final tear.
- at me comrades insisting -
I finally release him
- and plunge his forgotten dagger -
deep into my chest
and breathe - heated words-
my selfishness radiating
- from their finality -
"I won't live without you"
I wrote another one from Sam's POV I will upload soon. Reviews are appreciated.
