"Dean."
At the beckoning, the injured hunter moaned, eyelids fluttering frantically against the dirt caking them.
"Dean."
The smirched lids quavered open. Dean squinted. Blinked. "Mom?"
"Yes, my sweet."
"'m I already gone?" Dean swallowed. "Dead?"
A cold, but oddly comforting, touch wafted through his hair, barely disturbing the soft spikes. "No, dear. Not yet."
"But soon then, yeah?" breathed Dean.
"Not for a long time yet."
"Then…why…?"
"Your brother's coming."
Dean jolted. "Wait—you're not—you're not here for him…are you?" Dean's voice cracked.
The touch came again. "In a way." Her whisper danced a shiver across his skin.
