Puppet: Hey guys I just wanted to make some announcements.

First off I'm looking for a Beta for this story. I plan on writing a lot more and I want to have someone to help make the story good and not have it crash and burn with plot holes and OOC character.

Secondly I want to apologize for all of the page breaks there are in this chapter. This chapter is kind of choppy but I did the best I can do.

Thirdly I really want to thank all of you who decided to even both reading this story. I'm not the best writer and I'm bad with expressing my thoughts into words which is what I do when writing so things may sound weird or be hard to understand.

Thanks Souless666, SammysDaemon, Lost AdamWin, Dorianimeyaoilover and the nameless guest for commenting on the last chapter.

Fourthly I want to get at least five reviews on this chapter. I don't think that's asking too much. I know more than seven people read this story because it his 26 story followers which is amazing to me. But yeah I'd really like to get five or more reviews on the chap before chapter 4 is uploaded.

Fifthly I want to apologize for how long it took to upload the chapter, but the length between chapters will undoubtedly grow seeing as I have school and other things so I can't spend all my time typing. So please hakuna your tatas before you freak out if there are no updates for a while.

Sixthly this chapter isn't my best. I don't know how auctions work and so it is probably incredibly unrealistic. I was kind of just making things up as I went along.

Seventhly please enjoy! This chapter is about three times the size of what I usually set my chapters to minimally be at (Which is 1,000 words)

We're all broken – How to save a life

"Welcome" the new man greeted, "My name is Simon Gould and I shall show you the items we have for auction today. Many of you saw them already out in the foyer but now you can see them in the flesh, not behind stuffy glass!" Simon ran a hand through his slicked back well-kept hair and smiled brightly, "The auction shall now commence! Our first item for sale is Samuel Colt's journal!"

Both Dean and Bobby's eyes widened in disbelief at the sight in front of them, Simon held in his hands a thick stack of papers that clearly had Colt's hand writing on it. 'The first item for bid? This is almost too good to be true.'

It was hard for Bobby and Dean to understand that the object they were looking for was right in front of them. Nothing happens this easily for them so it was hard to believe that being held in Simon's hand was Colt's journal segment.

"You ready Dean?" Bobby asked mentally preparing himself for what was going to happen, "We don't know who or what else wants this journal."

"I know that, now let's just hope we win this auction to figure out how to kill Eve."

Standing tall and proud Simon set the journal down on a table that sat next to him, "We will start the bidding at two-hundred golden troll tokens."

"What?" Dean whipped his head to look at Bobby and asked, "Please tell me that you have this troll gold stuff."

"Uh no, I had no idea that that even existed." As Simon stood on the stage waiting for people to start bidding six men and Dean raised their hands, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Bobby whispered

"We need this journal Bobby; we can't let some supernatural son of a bitch take it."

"I understand that, now shut up and listen."

"Would anyone like to make any bids?" Simon asked the group.

"Five-hundred golden troll tokens" a man with cropped brown hair and a posh voice called to Simon

"Six-hundred golden troll tokens" a different man yelled. This one had blonde hair that looked crudely bleached and not all that clean looking.

Sighing in frustration Dean knew that they could never pay with the golden troll tokens so he decided that he would change the bet and hopefully be able to pay with something they had on hand, not a currency that they've never heard of before today. So Dean kept his hand raised and spoke as clearly as he possibly could, "Two heads with the pituitary glands still intact" as Dean spoke the whole room's attention seemed to shift to him. These people came to the auction on a regular basis and they never had heard of someone betting a severed head before. It was strange, even for the monsters. Taking a deep breath Dean kept his hand held high and repeated, "Two heads with the pituitary glands still intact."

Simon turned around and peered behind the curtain that kept the back of the stage concealed. From their seats Dean and Bobby could hear the mutter of whispers between Simon and an unknown person. When he turned back around Simon spoke, "Sorry sonny, you'll have to try harder than that. Now do we have anyone for six-hundred golden troll tokens?" Two hands in the crowd fell leaving only four people. The cropped haired brunette, a silence red-head, the bleach blonde that set the price to six-hundred tokens and Dean

"Six-hundred tokens and two severed heads"

"Seven-hundred tokens and two severed heads."

Withholding a growl in the back of his throat Dean kept his hand up, 'what can we bet to sway these guys?'

"Four severed heads and a vial of virgin's blood" Everyone's head in the room turned to the old man with a worn hat on his head. Their eyes were wide and Simon asked if anyone had anymore offers, if not then the sale would be made final. Luckily enough for Singer and his adopted son all the other hands dropped to their sides and the journal segment was now theirs.

"How the hell did you know that betting virgin's blood would get us the journal?" Asked Dean as he stood by the Impala with Bobby, the two were checking their inventory to make sure that they had everything they needed. After the journal was sold Bobby and Dean found that they had to wait in the factory until the auction was done and over with and right now everyone, monster or not was taking a lunch break before the big things were sold. The auction was set up in a way that the items of smaller value and rarity were sold first while those of larger value and uniqueness were sold later.

"I had no idea, but I figured since virgin's blood is huge for blood suckers and it's the purist shit you can find out there that is also pricey on the black market."

"And how would you know that?" Dean raised an eyebrow at the elder man

"I have my resources" Bobby remarked defensively

"Of course you do" Dean replied with the roll of his eyes then asked, "Do you want a bite to eat? I think I saw a burger joint back down the road"

"That's fine by me, anything to get us out of this monster fest for a little bit."

"Then let's hurry up and go, I'm starving." Bobby heaved a tired sigh and climbed into the passenger's seat of the Impala while Dean took the seat behind the wheel.

"It's almost time Mr. Lupin" Simon spoke to the owner of the cage, "Everyone is coming back from the break and your item will be the first to be bid on."

"Thank you Simon" Lupin smiled as he walked over to his cage and patted the top, "Don't worry love it'll be a matter of time till you bring me great profit." No sound could be heard from the cage but the thing inside had to fight back tears to not mare its face. "Just a couple more minutes to go!"

Dean and Bobby came back to the factory after lunch and found themselves back in their original seats. Staring up at the stage they couldn't help but wonder what would be brought out next. Before the break the journal segment was sold along with an old spell book, a magical staff, and a bunch of other knickknacks and small not all the pricey objects.

"Everyone if I could please have your attention" Simon was back on stage and was as lively as ever, "We shall now be bringing out our more… Unique items onto the stage" Motioning the people behind the curtain forwards two buff men carried the covered cage out onto the middle of the stage and the crowd suddenly became extremely excited. "Our next item is the human Physic, and we will start the bidding at twelve-hundred Troll tokens!" Grasping the cloth that once covered the large cage Simon ripped it off to reveal the physic to the crowd.

Cowering in the far corner of the cage was a young male with long knotted hair and grime covered skin. The boy didn't wear much, only a dirty button-up shirt and a pair of pants that were practically falling down his boney waist. The Boy was extremely thin and terror was evident in his wild eyes. As he sat in the cage most of the audience's eyes bore into him making his skin crawl. Hands began to shoot up and prices were being called out to Simon, each trying to outdo the other to claim the boy. Dean looked at Bobby with horror in his eyes at what was happening in front of him. A human was getting sold as if it was an object of possession, "Bobby we have to do something!"

"What can we do?" Bobby asked feeling sick to his stomach at the sight before him

"I don't know, but these monsters aren't going to do anything good with him. What do we have to bid?"

"We still have the virgin's blood, um-" Bobby voice got overpowered by the other people screaming up at Simon trying to make their price known. All the voices were getting muffled and harder to hear as the prices rose.

"SILENCE!" A man with short blonde hair and brown eyes called out from the stage. The man stood between the boy in the cage and Simon. Everyone in the vicinity of the man came to a halt in their screaming and gave the man their full attention, "Good, now that I have your attention I have an announcement to make." The blonde sent the crowd a sickening sweet smile, "I am this lovely boy's old owner and I have something's I want in exchange for him." The man began to pace on stage and hummed to himself, "Let's see, I want some human hearts, virgin's blood, dead man's blood, and silver."

Boos of disapproval came from the crowd but Dean and Bobby quickly exchanged glances and felt like they might actually had a chance to save the poor boy from more abuse and suffering. Raising their hands Dean and Bobby Called out, "We have a deal! Two Human Hearts, a vile of Virgin's blood, two vials of Dead man's blood and a pound of silver."

Simon and the blonde man stared at the two hunters and a smile formed on the blonde's face, "You two strike quite an offer." Glancing up he asked, "Does anyone have a better proposal?"

~~
The Day slowly slipped by and those who bought items from the auction had to go pick up their earnings in a back room. The room where all the sold items were held was rather large and spread out, the previous owners of the objects stood by gave the new owner them and explained in further details on what they could do. First Bobby and Dean walked over to where Samuel Colt's and picked it up with much ease. There weren't many things the journal could initially do but they got a brief rundown on what was inside. The two exchanged the four severed heads and the vial of virgin's blood for the journal and continued with their collection.

Next the hunter duo walked towards the back of the room and was met with the Blonde from the stage and the broken looking man who was now standing on shaky legs but was bound by metals cuffs that were on his wrists and ankles. "Wonderful" The blond greeted the hunters with a firm handshake to each of them. "My name is Robert Lupin and I'm so very pleased that you'll be taking this one of my hands, although it'll be sad to see him go."

"You keep saying he. Does he have a name?"

"Why would he have a name?" Lupin laughed, "He's just here to do what you want. It's not like you'll actually have to take care of him. Just give him the bare necessities and he'll live. By the way here are the keys to his cuffs; you might feel like putting him in better ones when you get to your domain."

Dean had to hold back a growled that threated to tare from his throat and reached out to take the keys. With great easy Dean shoved the items into Lupin's hands and led the unnamed boy away from his old master. Once outside Dean ran to the Impala and started her engine, he then drove back to the factory entrance and let Bobby and the boy get in. "I'm so sorry about this kid" Dean spoke to the younger male in the backseat, "Just wait until we get to our motel and then we can get those chains off of you and get ya cleaned up."

The brunette said nothing but fiddled with his hands and listened to the clinking of the chains as they brushed one another. He felt strange with his new masters. They didn't seem to be as cruel as Master Lupin was. Sure they looked extremely intimidating with their gruff outer appearance but they told him that they were going to let him out of his chains and let him bathe. This was a first and he hoped that these alleged changes would for one be true and secondly sticks around.

The parking lot of the motel that Bobby and Dean were staying at was thankfully empty so they would have an easier time sneaking the chained boy into their room without getting the cops called on them. "Come on buddy, time to get out" Dean opened the back door of his Baby and helped the young male out, "in a few minutes we'll get you more comfortable." The boy simply nodded his head afraid to say anything without getting the okay from his new masters. The man with the scruffy beard pulled out a key and opened their door and held it open wide so the two others could enter as well. Once inside Dean fumbled with the cuff keys for a moment but got them ready and unlocked the metal shackles that were bound to the boy. "Hey can you speak?" Dean asked as he sat the boy down on his bed.

"Y-yes" The young adult whispered timidly, his throat ached slightly from the action as he wasn't used to talking aloud to anyone. Master Lupin preferred for him to remain silent and if he didn't he'd receive punishment

"That's good" Bobby said taking a seat on the bed across from Dean's, "So boy do you have a name?"

"No" The male shook his head and dropped his gaze to the floor. Would these two be angry that he didn't have a name? Would they give one to him?

"Well then we'll have to give you one." Dean walked over to the small kitchen that was in the corner of the motel room and pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to him, "By the way, my name is Dean Winchester and this is my dad Bobby Singer. I guess you could say that we're here to help. Now take a couple sips of water and I'll start the shower. You definitely deserve a thorough cleaning"

With that Dean walked into the bathroom and turned the water on. He had learned from his many experiences of staying in motels that the water takes a couple minutes to warm up so while the water was getting to its optimal temperature Dean would go back out and try to find some clothes that would fit the gigantic male they gained company with.
