I OWN NOTHING!!!
"What do you mean he won't wake up?" Ellen would have moved to examine Dean but she was currently trying to help Sam stay upright.
"He's not responding to anything Ellen."
"Is he breathing?"
"Barely."
"Could it be the head trauma...?" Ellen knew that if it was indeed a head injury they were in for some serious complications.
"Probably that combined with exhaustion."
"Bobby... you don't mess with head injuries, if he's not waking up we should take him to a hospital."
"N-no..." Sam was barely catching what they were saying, but he knew Dean would be angry if they took him to a hospital. And Dean angry was the last thing he wanted...
"What Sam?" Ellen looked at Sam.
"Nooo h-hospit-t-tal..." Sam was stuttering and slurring his words, concentrating was becoming increasingly difficult.
Ellen and Bobby sighed, they wanted to give Sam what he wanted, but then again he wasn't in a state to be making decisions. They exchanged looks and Bobby started to shift Dean on the bed so that they could at least set Sam down.
"Sam, do you think you can watch your brother while Ellen and I talk?" Bobby felt horrible patronizing Sam like this, but they needed to make a decision.
"Yeah..." Sam croaked.
"Good boy Sam. Ellen, Jo, Joshua and I are gonna have a little chat."
Within a minute all four were in the front room discussing their predicament.
"There'll be too many questions and Sam doesn't want Dean in a hospital for whatever reason." Joshua argued.
"We can't take chances with this though." Ellen chimed.
Jo refused to take either side. And simply asked Bobby his thoughts.
"Well... how much medical training do you have Joshua?"
"It's been years..." Joshua was once like Sam and ran away to go to medical school but found his way back into hunting. "But I think I can still look after them with your help Bobby."
Bobby took his cap off. "Ok, we'll wait a few hours and monitor him, if there's no improvement I want you to take him in Jo."
"Right."

This was harder than she thought it would be. Ruby knew Dean took a beating, but didn't think it was this bad. Oh well, just more of a chance to use witchcraft. She had two rather unpleasant spells ready and with her when she snuck into the hunter's house. The first was for Bobby, Ellen, and Joshua. She replaced the coffee grounds with a purple powder. They'd be tired when they drank the "coffee" and this would only knock them out for a few hours. It took a little while for everyone to get a dose, but they did and all four were sleeping before they knew what hit them.
Next was Dean. He was still unresponsive and she knew that it was worse than the hunters had thought when she saw him in person. Sam wouldn't be a problem, he was asleep and if by chance he woke up she would spin some lie and eventually when he'd healed he'd remember it as just another hallucination. But she had to be quick, the potion for Dean would heal him quickly and she couldn't risk being caught yet.
It wasn't hard to force it down his throat, she'd done it too many times before to others, except that most of the time she wasn't trying to save a life...
It was gone and in an instant Dean began to stir. The window was still broken and she made her escape through there silently into the night.
Dean groaned at the nasty taste in his mouth. What the hell had happened? Last thing he remembered was being on the floor with Sam and now he was on the bed laying next to his brother. It was quiet. Dean sensed something off and relunctantly strayed from the room and his brother. He grimaced when he saw his face in the mirror. He looked like shit. But his concern for himself soon vanished when he saw four hunters passed out in the kitchen...

AN: Sorry if this chapter is kinda lame, didn't want to see Dean in the hospital and he was headed there without a miracle... or something... hope you all like this story still. Feedback is love.
