Thanks for the reviews, glad you like it so far. Sorry I didn't post any new chapters for the last few days but I had a family emergency.
The Pack
Chapter four
Dean had heard the shot and immediately began running in Sam's direction.
"Sam! Sammy!" He shouted as he ran up and down the blocks of ruined homes frantically searching for his brother. The gunshot had echoed throughout the area and he wasn't sure where it had originated from.
Finally he stopped in the middle of a block and turned around in a circle not knowing which way to go.
"Damn it Sammy where are you?"
Sam backed away from the dog and moved closer to his gun. But within a few seconds the entire pack had surrounded him.
"Oh boy…" Sam said softly knowing he was in big trouble. "Easy boy…easy…" He kept his voice calm trying not to agitate the dogs. It was then he saw the black lab standing off in the distance watching. The dog took a few steps toward him and it was then he saw the red glowing eyes. Sam knew if he could just reach his gun he could end the whole thing by putting a bullet into the lab. With the demon dog no longer in control the other dogs would more then likely scatter at the sound of a gunshot. He could feel the butt of the gun just within reach. He stretched as far as he could but the dog that had originally attacked him suddenly jumped forward landing on the gun and successfully pushing it further away. "Damn!" Sam swore… he had almost had it. He slowly reached into his side pocket and pulled out a knife which he quickly flipped open. At least it would protect him against some of the dogs but there were too many of them and he knew the knife would offer no protection against the leader, but it was all he had.
Dean continued searching for his brother.
"Sammy!" Why the hell did I let you talk me into separating he thought as he ran up and down the streets? Finally he saw the pack of dogs and his brother lying on the ground near them. But he was too far away to get a clear shot without risking the chance that he might hit his brother.
"Get away from him!" He screamed as he ran up the street waving his arms in an attempt to scare the dogs off.
When the dogs turned to look at Dean Sam made one more attempt to reach his gun. He managed to grab it but just as he did a big Doberman grabbed his arm and bit down hard. Sam cried out in pain and the gun slipped from his grasp.
"Let him alone!" Dean yelled as he fired his gun into the air. He watched as the big lab turned and ran off down the street and as the pack turned as one and followed him. He quickly ran to his brother's side.
"Sam? You okay Sammy?"
"Yeah." He said as he tried to get up but when he put pressure on his injured ankle he winced in pain. "Damn it I twisted my ankle."
Dean helped Sam hop over to a ledge where he could sit then quickly turned his attention to Sam's arm where the dog had bit him.
"Some of these bite marks look pretty deep." He told Sam as he tried to wipe the blood away with his shirt to get a better look. "We're going to have to get you to a hospital and get it looked at."
"Damn it!" Sam looked in the direction that the dogs had run. "I let down my guard for a second and they had me."
"It happens."
"There was this cat and kittens and …." Sam shook his head disgusted with himself for losing focus even for just a second. "I could have had him Dean….I could have taken him down."
"You saw him? You saw the leader?"
"Yeah." Sam looked up at Dean. "It's a demon dog….I saw the red eyes."
"Well at least now we know for sure what we're dealing with." Dean also looked in the direction the dogs had run. "And hopefully where it calls home…..We'll come back and get him after you get checked out at the hospital."
"I don't want to go to the hospital; can't you take care of it?" Sam asked as he looked at his arm. He hated hospitals and knew that every time they had to stop at one they were taking a chance of being recognized by the cops who were frequently hanging around them.
"Sam this bite is deep and his saliva got into your blood, you'll probably need rabies shots. Besides you got to get that ankle looked at anyway in case it might be broken."
"Oh that's just great…" Sam mumbled pissed off that he had allowed himself to get hurt.
"Come on let's get you out of here." Dean helped Sam stand up then put his brother's arm over his shoulder and led him back to the car.
Off in the distance a figure dressed in black stood next to the demon dog and watched them leave. Once they were out of sight it reached down and petted the dog as its eyes glowed red.
