Chapter Seven: Nightmares

Dean hadn't realized he fell asleep, but he knew he was asleep. Michael was playing with his head again. He hated having nightmares, he never knew what could happen and anything was possible. So he sat there, in the middle of his dream. He looked around and saw nothing. Just white. He was in a white room with no doors or windows. It made him feel alone. Then he saw a screen in front of him, it started showing him his entire life from the day he was born to now. He saw the way he could sometimes treat Sam like a child. He saw all the times he killed a monster and made someone else's life normal. He looked and saw all the things in life he went through. He felt every feeling he had ever felt. Then it paused on a time when he was 6, his mom tucked him in and said good night. She told him how much she loved him. Dean just stared, he wanted to look away but he also just wanted to see her again, hear her voice. Then the screen burst into flames and Dean jumped up and backed away. The screen was paused on her face as it melted away. "What the hell was the point of that Michael?" Dean looked around. Everything went black. All of a sudden he was back in the woods. He could feel someone watching him, hunting him. He started to run. He kept running until he came to a clearing. There was a body, when he went over to it he realized it was his Dad. His body was mangled. Dean bent over him and tried to wipe the blood off of his face. Then the body disappeared. Dean jumped up and looked around, he heard a growl and a hideous scream come from behind him. He started running again; he kept going until he thought he was going to pass out. He stopped when he came to an edge of a cliff. He looked down and saw nothing but black. It was a hole. He turned around and saw nothing but trees and darkness. Then heard someone call for help…it sounded like Mel. So he started running towards it. When he got there he was too late, she was hanging from a tree. He ran up to her and tried to get her down. When he did manage to cut the rope she fell to the ground. She was pale and cold as he held her. He held her close and started to whisper to her that he was sorry. He sat there for what seemed to be forever just holding her wishing she was still alive. He laid her on the ground and got up to walk away and when he looked back she was gone. He stood there for a few more moments before he heard Sam calling him. He started to call out. "Sammy, Sammy where are you?" He kept running in the direction where he could here Sam calling for help. Then he heard him scream and he ran like he had never run before. When he found him he was lying on the ground. All Dean could think was 'Please don't be dead, please don't be dead.' When he got there Sam had a huge knife wound in his stomach and was bleeding really badly. "Sam, Sammy are you okay?"

"Why didn't you help me, why didn't you protect me?" Sam lay dying.

"I got here as fast as I could. Hang in there your gunna be fine." Dean held Sam, putting his hand on his wound to stop it from bleeding. Sam just stared at him.

"This is your fault, why couldn't you protect me. I'm gunna die and it should be you, he was after you."

"Sammy I'm sorry, I tried, I couldn't get here fast enough. O God Sammy I'm sorry…I'm sorry." Dean was crying now. Everyone he loved was dying. "Please forgive me."

"This is all your fault, you deserve to die. I hope you burn in hell Dean. I will never forgive you. Everything is your fault." Dean stood up and fell backwards against a tree as Sam sat up and looked at him. "You deserve everything that is happening to you Dean. It should be you laying here, not me."

"I'm sorry Sammy, I'm sorry."

"This is all your fault Dean, you couldn't protect me but all I asked you to do was protect your baby brother and you couldn't. Look at him he's gunna die for your mistakes." Dean was looking at his Dad. His body was still mangled and covered in blood. He was walking closer.

"Dad, I tried, I couldn't." Dean was looking at both of them. "I did everything I could to protect him."

"You said you loved me Dean, look at me I'm dead because of you." Mel walked closer to him. Dean could see the rope mark around her neck. She was still pale. "You're worthless Dean."

"You could never do anything right Dean. You failed me, Mel and your brother." His Dad walked closer and grabbed the top of his hair and pulled him up and made him look him in the eye. "Your mother would be disgusted with you, you little worthless shit. She would be ashamed to have you as a son." Dean just looked at him speechless.

"Don't say that, that's not true." Dean didn't know what was going on.

"Sam is the only son she wanted. You were a mistake and Sam was the solution. I should have left you in the house when your mother died. I should have let you burn. Now he gets to finish you off." His Dad let go of his hair and Dean slid back down again.

"Don't worry Dean, we will forget you. There is no one to protect you. You failed everyone around you and you get to suffer for it." Mel just glared at him and backed away. Sam got up and walked up to him, and knelt down in front of him.

"Dean." Sam put his hand on Dean's cheek.

"Sammy please, I never meant for this to happen. You're my brother, I love you." Dean was looking into Sam's eyes but saw noting but hate and vengeance.

"I know Dean, but that's not good enough. I hate you with every fibre of my being. You were never good enough for anything. You let him get me. You let him kill me. Now I'm gunna kill you…And I'm gunna enjoy it." Then with a swift move Sam pulled out a knife and drove it into Dean's heart. Dean looked down and saw him pull the blade out and watched the blood flow. Dean looked at Mel and saw her giggling; he heard her whisper "Good riddance."

He looked over at his father, he was smiling, patting Sam on the back and he said "Good job son, your mother would be so proud of you."

He looked at Sam and saw him smiling and then heard him say "Rot in hell Dean." as he walked away with his father and the love of his life. He watched them forget about him as he drifted off into darkness…only to wake up screaming.
