The Shadows Deepen
As Cas and I leave, I see everyone starting to get ready to leave and head back to their respective territories, "Sam!" I hiss, "What happened?" I look about, searching for any sign of negotiated peace.
"Well while you were...uh...busy with Castiel; we decided to try to keep things the same but will have another meeting next week on their territory." Sam runs an exhausted hand through his hair and starts heading back towards our place, "What happened in there exactly? I mean...well usually you let no one in our place after what happened..." to mom and dad hangs dreadfully above us, "It's just not like you Dean; that's all."
"I know Sammy and well, I can't refuse Castiel's request when it means possible peace between our groups. So yeah gotta do what the dog says." I hold the door open for Sam and lock it firmly shut behind me, "Speaking of which who were you talking with out there?" I will sometimes sneak into his head and spy on my Sammy.
He just sighs, "Really? It was just this cool guy named Gabriel; we only talked about trying to make peace." I could tell he was lying but I didn't push him further, "Why do I smell wet dog on you?" Sam presses his nose against my collarbone, "What did that son of a bitch do to you?" "Nothing Sammy, just a little fooling around. No more than you and Gabriel have done in the past." Sam looks shocked and I smile at his surprise, "What, did you think I wouldn't find out? I know quite a lot about the happenings of my Clanmates. Of course I would know Sammy."
As we walk, I notice Ellen pacing outside of her tent. We walk up carefully, "Ellen, how's Jo doing?"
She jumps a little at the sound. "Dean! She's not doing too well I'm afraid. The disease is spreading throughout her body. I can't believe my baby girl might die." Tears began to form in her eyes at the thought.
"Ellen, listen to me,you've got to stay strong for Jo. Do you know if there's any cure?" I grab her shoulders and look into her tear filled eyes.
"There's a rare herb feverblight,but…"
"But what Ellen?" I whisper.
"It's in the Wolves territory! Dean, how are we supposed to get to it?" she screams and draws a few stray eyes.
"Ellen...listen. Sammy and I can go get it for Jo." I look up at the lightening sky and chew nervously on my bottom lip, "If we left now we'd make it there by high noon."
"Will you boys be okay? And what would Bobby say about it?" Ellen starts rambling and thankfully Bobby appears.
"What are you boys planning to do now?" Bobby is the shortest one in my Clan but his sass and attitude make up for the height difference, "You better not be going to those damn Wolves!" Sam and I just stand there, "Idjits...well I ain't helping you out this time!"
"We know Bobby and Sammy let's go!" I turn quickly on my heels and break out in a sprint knowing Sammy would be right behind me.
"DEAN! WAIT UP!" I turn my head around and see Sam catching up quickly, "Do you know where to go even?"
I slow down and keep pace beside him, "Of course I know where to go so keep up with me!" I speed up again and occasionally cast a glance behind me to make sure Sam is following me.
