Chapter Four: The Truth

"Did you love him?" Sam repeated the question again. He wanted to know why she left. Obviously Dean loved her, that's what she had told him. Obviously Dean trusted her if he said to come here.

"Why are you asking me that?" She was just shocked at the question. "I don't see how that's any of your business." She stood up to go check on Dean.

"Then tell me why you left, if all you say is true, what Michael did to him, how could you just up and leave him like that?"

"I didn't know what else to do, I couldn't stand to see him like that. And…"

"And what?" Sam could see she was hiding something again. " What!"

"Michael threatened me, just after they left to go to the woods. That's how we figured out it was him. He told me how much Dean loved me, and that he knew how much I loved him. He promised me that Dean's heart would be mine…then he told me what he planned to do to him."

"So you left him" Sam was so confused.

"I told you I couldn't see him like that."

"I don't get it, why did you leave him if you loved him, he obviously loved you if he told you that. You know how often he tells me that!"

"He asked me too." Mel was looking at the floor.

"What" Sam was even more confused.

"He asked me too because he knew that I wanted to have a family, that I wanted to have a normal life." Mel smiled as she sat back down on the couch. "He told me that he could never do that and that he wasn't going to pressure me into keeping his life to stay with him, and that he wouldn't be able to live with himself if anything happened to me. So he told me to leave…and I did." Mel was looking at the ground ashamed. Sam felt like the biggest jerk in the world. He could see she was almost in tears.

"I'm sorry…I-"

"I understand…you had to know why had left." Mel just smiled and wiped the fallen tears that had escaped her eyes. "Now lets go check on him okay, he should be waking up know." But as she got up she stopped dead in her tracks when she looked at the hallway.

Sam looked at her and said "What?" as he stood up. That's when he saw Dean standing in the hallway, he almost looked like he was gunna cry looking at Mel. Sam could tell she was crying. They just looked at each other for few seconds when Mel whispered "What took you so long?"

Dean just smiled and said "I didn't know if you wanted to see me." Dean just smiled. "I thought you would a… kick my ass for being late." Mel laughed.

"Count on you Dean Winchester to ruin a moment" Mel said giggling. Dean ran and grabbed her and hugged her like he wouldn't let go of her not in a million years. "How are you feeling, are the stitches okay…I mean the last guy I patched up was quite a while ago. I 'm afraid I'm a little out of practice."

"You did good Mel."

"Umm… how long were you standing there?"

"I woke up when I heard you crying. I wanted to come out but I just liked hearing your voice again." Dean was just looking at her, rubbing the side of her face with his thumb. He didn't want to let her go. She deserved much more than he could give her, but he loved her with all of his heart. "So I see you met Sammy, although I was going to come out here and kick his ass a few seconds ago for what he said to you, but I figured I should let you tell him." He just smiled at Sam.

Sam just looked at him and said "I was trying to figure out what is going on, I got angry. I'm sorry-"

Dean cut him off "I know Sammy you were worried, okay…you understand what's going on now, learned more than you prolly should have, now we have to figure out exactly what Michael is and kill him before he decides he's strong enough to come looking for me."

They started to do research with the facts they already knew. They knew that he wasn't human, that if you did wound him he needed time to heal, he can project thoughts and read fears. He also liked to play games with his victims and seemed to have a fascination and understanding in the methods of torture. This made all of them uneasy because unlike doing research to save a stranger, they were doing it to save someone they loved. And they knew that they needed a miracle to save him.
