A/N: Hey guys! I'd like to thank sokerfreek922 for becoming my beta and giving this the once over! It must have been a difficult read before hand :) So, thanks for taking me up on the challenge of beciming a beta for me :) :) :) :) :)

A big THANK YOU! To everyone who told me what AU, OOC, and Mary Sues' were!

Knowing that, I'd have to retrack my previous statement and say that YES this is AU! But that was the challenge! Also, this is getting a great response! Thanks for that!

"Everything's going to be okay, Sammy." Dean said to his sobbing brother in the passenger's seat. He glanced over just as Sam was wiping away the tears.

"He'll come after us, Dean. He always said he would."

"I know. I remember. But he's not going to find us. I'll drive to the end of the world before he ever gets to us." Dean said.

"He's never failed finding what he's looking for. He'll find us!"

"He has failed before, Sam." Dean said quietly after a few seconds. Sam turned to look at him with questioning eyes. He searched his mind for a time his father had failed on a hunt. In his twelve years, he was sure it had never happened.

"What are you talking about?"

"Mom." Dean said with a sad smile. "He has never found Mom's killer. He won't find us either. We'll keep moving, forever if we have to. But I'm not letting him hurt you like that again. God! I don't even know why I didn't do this before in the first place! I should have done it as soon as I bought this car!" Dean said shaking his head.

"Dean? What are we going to do?" Dean looked back at him and the anger that was rising up in him stalled as he gave the young boy his best smile.

"Let me worry about that, Sammy. You're just along for the ride." He reached over and touched the younger's forehead. "Try and get some sleep. I'm not stopping anywhere soon."

"No, I'm okay," Sam assured him. His eyes and his weakened body said otherwise, but he tried to play it off. He didn't want to go to sleep. The last time he almost did, his father had arrived. He wasn't chancing that again.

"Go to sleep, Sammy." Dean repeated. His voice was firmer but not at all alarming. Sam rolled is eyes and tried his best to position himself so that he could sleep without causing himself further pain. Soon, the darkness entered and he relaxed.

PBIYF!
