Sam's Christmas Carol
Dean was dead to begin with. As dead as all the monsters he'd kill(well most of them). In life Dean had hunted with his brother Sam Winchester but now that he was ash( as hunters are cremated at dead) Sam was all alone in the world well, at least that what he thought. He still had some friends and allies. Bobby, Castiel, Gabriel, Anna, Jo, Ellen, (yes in this story they're all still alive) just to name a few.
They had tried to reach out to him but he just retreated into a shell. He tried everything to get Dean back but nothing worked, no Demon would deal with him, no Angel would take pity on him, not even the Reapers with whom the Winchesters were on somewhat good terms with would help. He tried went to ever witch, medicine man, voodoo or hoodoo or everysortofdoo person in the country but no one could help him. Every magic no matter how dark could help bring Dean back.
After several months Sam just gave up and continued hunting alone. It was Christmas eve, nearly a year after Dean had died and Sam was coming back to his motel room after just killing a Shapeshifter. The thing put one hell of a fight but in the end Sam butchered it. Now he was battered and bruised and covered in blood, some of it his own but most of it the Shapeshifter's. He was tried and hoped in the shower to wash the blood off him.
As the warm water flowed over his face and washed away the dried blood Sam turned around and opened his eyes only to see an all to familar angel in a trench coat staring at him in the shower.
"What the Hell Cas" Sam shouted.
"Sam I need to speak to you" Castiel said in his unemotional tone.
"Get the hell out of here Cas, I'm taking a shower" Sam shouted again.
"Why are you so angry and why are you covering your genitals" Castiel said confused at Sam behaviour.
"You don't teleport in on someone in the shower " Sam said annoyed.
"Are you embarassed by the size of you're genitals and that why you're covering them" Castiel said in an attempt to guess the reason behind Sam sudden anger.
"Shut up, what the hell do you want" Sam asked.
"I need to speak to you about something important" Castiel said.
"Will you give me ten minutes to shower and get dressed " Sam said getting pretty pissed at Castiel.
"Very Well" Castiel replied before teleporting away.
After five minutes in the shower and another five getting dressed Sam came out of the bathroom to find Castiel sitting at the end of the bed watching TV.
"What are you watching ?" Sam asked.
"Something called pay per view. it's very confusing" Castiel said.
"How so?" Sam asked heading over to the bed and looking at the screen at realising what Cstiel was watching. It was both funny and disturbing.
"I don't understanding why the libarian is spanking this man because his books are overdue, wouldn't it be better for him to just pay the fine" Castiel said tilting his head like a dog "And why are they in their undergarments?"
'Erotic Tales from the Libary 3, one of Dean's favourites' Sam thougt to himself before taking the remote and turning it off.
"Alright Cas, what is it you wanted to talk to me about, are there demons in town" Sam asked.
"No nothing like that, as you know Anna and I have been having a romantic and sexually relationship for many months now" Castiel said.
"Dude TMI" Sam said becoming even more uncomfortable.
"What's TMI" Castiel said looking confused.
"Just foget it, go on" Sam said.
"Anna wishes to celebrate Christmas and is throwing a party and has allowed me to invited you" he said.
"So you want me to come?" Sam asked.
"Yes very much so" Castiel said.
Sam sighed and said "Look i apperciate the offer but no, i just want to be alone this Christmas".
"Sam, i understand it been hard for you without Dean but..." Castiel began before being interupted by Sam.
"I don't want to talk about that" Sam said quickly.
"I know this is hard for yuo but do you think dean would want you to alienate yourself from your friends" Castiel said.
"DON'T EVEN PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT DEAN WOULD HAVE WANTED" Sam shouted angrily at Castiel.
"But Sam..." Castiel started before Sam interupted again.
"Get out before I deep fry your winged ass with Holy Oil" Sam said.
Castiel stood up and said "Very well but the offer still stand to come celebrate with me and Anna tomorrow morning" Castiel said before teleporting off.
Sam said cruelly "Don't hold your breath". Sam sat in front of the tv for another night of Christmas special. After about an hour or so his phone rang. He picked it up and it was Bobby.
"Hey Bobby" Sam said.
"Hey Sam, listen i'm justing calling to see how you're doing" Bobby asked concerned.
"Oh I'm just great Bobby" Sam replied sarcastically.
"Sam, listen I don't like the idea of you spending Christmas alone, how about you spend it with me" he asked.
"Bobby i already turned down spending it with Cas and Anna" he said.
"Feathers is celebrating and you're not, Sam look i'll admit it's been hard with losing Dean and all but.." Bobby began but Sam interupted him.
"God I am so sick of everyones sympathy, where you all when i was driving across thr country trying to find a way to bring him back, no where that where, i didn't see any of you offering up your soul to help Dean, Merry Freaking Christmas Bobby" Sam said before hanging up.
The phone rang again and in a fit of anger Sam throw it against the wall and it smashed.
He sat in the chair watching tv and drinking whiskey. "Merry Christmas Dean" Sam said to himself.
Then in almost a whisper he heard a familar voice say to him "Merry Christmas Sammy".
Sam got up off the chair and looked around. Suddenly he heard a sound, like foot steps outside the room. Suddenly everything got very cold. Sam grab a shotgun and turned towards the door.
Then a figure walked through the door. 'A Ghost' Sam thought taking aim with the shotgun and shoting. The ghost disappeared before Sam could get a good look at it. He ran to the door and tried to open it but it was held shut by some force. Suddenly he heard a familar voice say "What the Hell Sammy".
Sam couldn't believe his ears he turned around and there standing in front of him was his brother Dean. "It can't be you, we salted and burned you're body" Sam said.
"Yeah you did but I'm not technically a ghost" Dean said.
"Oh so you're a hallucination cause by a bit to much whiskey" Sam said.
"You always did hve the fun reactions to alcohol, all that ever happened to me was i'd pass out but no I'm not a hallucination either" Dean said.
"Then what are you?" Sam asked.
"What I am not important, why i'm here that's what important" Dean said.
"Ok, why are you here" Sam asked.
"I've come to warn you Sammy" Dean said ominiously.
"Warn me about what ?" Sam asked.
"Don't let yourself become me" Dean said.
"What do you mean" Sam asked.
"Seriously you don't know, let face it Sam i wasn't actually the most friendly guy" Dean said.
"Yeah no kidding, the things we hunted had more people skills than you" Sam said.
"Yean anyway, I alway had this wall around me, i never let anyone in and i was wrong for that Sam, people aren't meant to be islands" Dean said.
"But Dean, thats what made you a great hunter" Sam said.
"Yeah i should have tried to be a great person instead of a great hunter, and now because of that i'm trapped in limbo forever" Dean said sadly.
"Limbo" Sam said.
"Yeah it an empty place where the souls like me have to wander alone for all eternity" Dean said sadly thinking about his fate.
"Is there anything I can do?" Sam asked.
"Well do you have a get out of jail free card handy, there's nothing you can for me, it's too late for me but it's not to late for you" Dean said.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked.
"If you keep down this path you will suffer the same fate as me, but i manage to get you a chance, one chance mind you, to save yourself." Dean said.
"Same old Dean, always looking out for his little brother, fine what do i have to do" Sam asked.
"You will be visited by three Spirits" Dean said.
"Oh you can not be serious, can you say "Cliche" " Sam said.
"Can you say "Shut the Hell up Sam", I konw it little bit too Christmas Carol but it's the best i could do, so just listen to them, do as they say and maybe you wouldn't end up like me, eh Ebenezer Scrooge" Dean said.
"Oh what next Castiel going to show me what the world would be like if i was never born, or am i going to convince Lucifer not to steal Christmas or i am going to stop Mr. Potter from stealing Tiny Tim's porriage"
"No what happens next is i go back to limbo" Dean said
"No Dean please don't go" Sam pleaded.
"Sorry Sammy have to, good luck" Dean said before fadding away leaving his brother alone in the motel room.
