CHAPTER 10

The fight inside

Sam stared up at the celling of the barn he felt warm liquid oozing down his neck, his breaths were ragged and short. He could hear his heart beat pounding in his ears. Everything seemed to be distant as if he was trapped within a dream. He could faintly hear his Dad call on him and he tried to move to seek out the voice but his body failed him. He was losing blood and fast. He moved to hasty when he entered the nest of vampires, he wasn't experience enough and he was running on empty.

John took down three vampires and got distracted looking for the colt, he disappeared towards the back when Sam tried to help what seemed to be at the time an innocent woman tied to a wooden post, he tried to wake her to console her but she woke up and screamed, She woke up the rest of the nest and all hell broke loose.

Sam got tackled from behind from two vampires; they ripped and tore into his neck and arm, they were making Sam in to a meal when John decapitated their heads, another younger vampire tackled John to the ground and all Sam could hear was his Dad calling out to him.

'Sam! Grab the knife, grab the knife!

Sam crawled but then his body gave in everything whet dark. He awoke with the sound of gravel the feel of wet ground; his Dad was dragging him outside by his arms.

'Sam! I've got you son, we're nearly at the car, stay with me'.

Sam gave out a chocked cry of pain and fell into unconsciousness once again.

Dean was passed out on the bed, spread out on his stomach snoring loudly, Marie pulled her pillow around her ears, and she was getting frustrated and pictured smothering Dean so he would shut up. It was nearly midnight and she hadn't slept a wink. Dean continued drinking when he got back to the motel and drunkenly passed out, he seemed to be quite when he got back, he kept zoning out as if he was thinking too much or worried and Dean being Dean didn't do the whole touchy feely let's talk it out crap.

Suddenly his cell rang, Dean didn't even stir so Marie looked at the screen of the caller, and it was John. She hesitated for a moment before answering, she knew John would be less than amused if she answered, but it must be important to call at this time. So she picked up and grit her teeth.

'Hello'

"Put Dean on now!

'Ok, sorry hes sleeping, he's been drinking so it might be hard to…..

"WAKE HIM UP! John screamed down the phone cutting Marie off.

'Dean! Wake up' she shook him hard , he snapped his eyes open grabbed Marie and pinned her on the bed and held a knife to her throat.

She gasped and stared at him wide eyed in fear, 'Dean please, please don't….

Dean came to his senses and pulled back. 'Omg Marie I'm sorry I thought you were someone else'. His eyes softened and he felt like a douche. Marie shakenly handed him the cell phone. 'It's your Dad'

'Yeah' Dean said in a flat tone still pissed at his Dad for leaving him behind.

"Need you here, Sam's injured and Vampires have caught our sent, I can't hide from them long, I will send you the coordinates".

'What's happened to Sammy? Is he ok, how bad is it?

There was a pause, one that seemed too long, 'Dad! Is he ok?

"Hes lost a lot of blood, he'll survive, just get here".

Dean hung up the phone and started packing his stuff, 'Marie we gotta get going'.

Marie still shaky started packing and didn't ask questions, she was fed up and started having the urge to escape again. But she knew it was a bad idea considering she was a target for Demons, but Deans little out bursts just showed how messed up he was, always on edge and on protective mode, like a solider in the mist of battle.

Sam lay still in bed and John paced the floor, he managed to stop the bleeding but Sam had already lost a good amount, his breathing was shallow and fast and all colour was drained from his face. John stayed as calm as he could and he knew a fair bit on how to treat injuries, he was better than most hunters at medical training. Once when Dean got stabbed buy a ghoul at the age of eighteen, there was so much blood and he thought Dean wasn't going to make it, but he patched him like a professional. Within two weeks he was back on his feet. He knew how to take care of his boys but he didn't want this life for them, not really. He trained them like soldiers and he was strict on them, especially Dean, god he reminded him of Mary, he had her eyes and her full lips, Dean was snarky and mischievous just like Mary but he looked up to John and idolised him. Sam looked like him, darker in features and was a thinker he would question everything that John said or did and he wouldn't take orders like Dean did. This caused arguments more often than not and sometimes there would be fists thrown. John suddenly felt darkness take over him, he felt void then he was trapped helpless as if he was on the outside looking in fighting within himself. Then he heard a sinister laugh in his head losing all control of who he was.

He heard the rumble of the impala outside and he immediately walked outside to meet Dean.

'She stays in the car' John said in a flat tone gesturing towards Marie. Dean frowned and slammed the car door shut in annoyance. 'No Dad I think it would…..

'And I said she stays in the car Dean! His voice now rising, Dean just stood there for a moment shook his head and stormed past John without saying a word.

He was shocked when he seen Sam, he quickly went over and tried to wake him. 'Sammy, hey you ok man' he nudged him slightly and Sam moaned and hissed when he moved his head. He opened his eyes and stared blankly at Dean, and then he held his neck and tried pulling at the bandage.

'Hey don't do that', Dean grabbed Sam's hand.

'wh…where's Marie, sh…she can help, plz Dean get her'. John narrowed his eyes in question, 'what's he talking about?

'Nothing, it's nothing hes not making sense'.

Marie sat in the impala flipping through the radio station, she was starting to feel like the kid at school that nobody wanted to play with and she was annoyed at Dean for leaving her in the car like something he could discard. She might as well of been a dog with the window cracked opened a little. She however took this opportunity to take a power nap, she liked her sleep and she wasn't getting enough. She laid her head back and listened to the music playing in the background. A familiar song came on so she sang along

"Smile though your heart is aching,

Smile even though it's breaking".

"When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by,

If you smile through your fear and sorrow"

"Smile and maybe tomorrow"

"You'll see the sun come shining through for you".

Dean stood outside the motel door and just listened, he had no idea Marie could sing, and she sounded amazing, but he had to snap out of it and focus Sammy needed help and there were vampires on their asses.

He walked over to the impala and opened the door startling Marie. 'Hey sorry sweetheart, Sam needs your help'.

Marie was grumpy and wasn't entirely sure what Dean wanted her to do. 'Oh so I'm wanted now'. she said in a sarcastic tone, Dean had a tired worried look on his face and his voice was slightly strained, this made Marie adjust her attitude, he was put under a lot of pressure by his Dad and he seemed to have taken it on himself to not only to protect Sam but to protect Marie also.

'What do I have to do? Dean sighed and rubbed the back of his head. 'Sam is badly injured do you think you can fix him, ya know with your healing thing?

Marie started to panic slightly at the memory of Dean's lifeless body and the sheer pain that burnt through her. It was all consuming and terrifying, she couldn't do it again, Marie wasn't even sure if she could.

'Dean..I…can't do that again, I don't know how'.

'Please can you just try'? Dean with now pleading eyes, John opened the motel door calling on Dean. 'What's taking so long? Dean turned and waved him off 'just a moment'

'Ok I will try, but I don't know why you haven't taken him to the hospital'.

Marie walked into the motel room the atmosphere was toxic; Johns eyes followed her across the room. She sat next to Sam on the bed and nudged him to see if he would wake, he looked so pale and almost grey in colour; Sam's hair had dry blood through it, she couldn't actually believe that John would let this happen.

Sam through lidded eyes looked at Marie, he gave a weak smile and it pulled at Marie's heart strings. 'Hey Ma..Marie'.

'Sam I will try to help, I'm not sure how though' Sam just nodded and closed his eyes.

Marie placed her hands on Sam and closed her eyes; her heart was pounding so much she was convinced that John and Dean could hear it. She concentrated on Sam trying to find that familiar burn but nothing was happening. Dean stood idly by standing near the door with a helpless look on his face and John glared watching closely, both men stood in silence.

Marie pulled her hands back and sobbed 'I'm not a performing monkey, I can't do it'. She looked down at Sam who was now unconscious, Dean sighed 'its ok Marie you gave it a shot' he turned to John. 'We need to take Sammy to hospital'.

'you know it's too dangerous, the vamps could be waiting for us on the road or at the hospital, we need to stay here till sun up, we have a better chance in fending them off, we stay put til then'.

Dean clenched his jaw, his lips curled and Marie can see that he was fighting to keep back his temper. 'You should have taken me on the hunt' Dean growled and John walked up inches away from Dean's face. 'listen to me I made a choice that I thought was best, you think I wanted this to happen, I've got the colt Dean it wasn't all for nothing'.

'Oh well its worth dragging Sam into a nest of vampires and yeah leaving me behind was a great decision Dad, no as a matter of fact ditching me without any word of where you were, now that was the best move yet'. Deans sarcasm pushed Johns last nerve and without any warning he swung at Dean with such force that he went flying back, John then pulled Dean up by his collar and punched him not once by three more time. Dean hit the deck; John kicked Dean over and over again.

'Stop it! Stop it! Marie screamed she ran over to grab John around the waist to pull him back but he shoved her into the door. She hissed as her elbow hit the wood, to Johns surprise Sam got up and pointed a gun at his Dad with shaky hands.

'st..stop it you bas…bastard'.

John smiled evilly 'what you goanna do Sammy kill Daddy'. He pulled Dean up by his hair; yanking so hard Dean yelped and grabbed effortlessly at John's hands to relive the pull, his nose and brow were pouring with blood and he was unfocused.

'uh uh uh, one more step Sammy boy and Johns least favourite son will get his neck snapped'.

Sam lowered his gun and tried to steady himself; he looked over at Marie and gave her a silent plea.

Marie lifted herself from off the ground and slowly tried to reach for the colt that was placed on the wooden table just behind the eye shot of the demon possessing John, she was so close but she was spotted. He grabbed her wrist and snapped it; Marie screamed out and clutched her arm sobbing in agony.

Dean helplessly tried to punch at the Demon that was wearing his dad's meat suit.

'you sonvabitch, goanna fuc..fucking ki..kill you' his head was pulled back by his hair, he gave out another yelp.

Before Sam could react the demon was gone along with Dean and the colt.

'No No No No. DEAN! Dean…. Sam collapsed and hit the floor with a thud; Marie lifted herself from the ground, sobbing in fear and pain she made her way to Sam and placed her head on his chest, his heart was beating steady. She moved to the motel phone and called 911.

Marie sat and stared at her x-ray, her right wrist was snapped in two places. She grimaced at the low throbbing ache under her freshly placed cast; she stood up and walked to the receptionist to collect her prescription. She was glad for the pain medication, she was also glad for Bobby. He paid for her and Sam's treatment, Marie headed to the ward Sam was staying in. Thankfully he just needed a couple of units of blood and antibiotics along with some very strong pain medication.

When she reached Sam's room he was packing up his things, he was still unsteady on his feet but with Dean and Johns disappearances he was on high alert.

'We got to head to Bobby's; he'll know what to do. We need Dean's car, left it at the motel parking lot'. Sam was speaking fast and panicked and Marie just stood there watching him pace around grabbing what was his and not even bothering to let the staff know he was checking himself out. He bombed down the ward seeking out an exit and didn't look back, Marie felt like a puppy dog chasing the giant man. 'Sam please wait up, my legs are wee'.

Sam slowed and grabbed Marie's left hand and pulled her along. 'We gotta make it to soux falls as soon as we can, it's been over 24 hours since Dean and my dad has been gone'. He said with a strained voice. 'I know Sam I'm worried, terrified to be honest'.

Sam squeezed Marie's hand gently and walked slower still holding her hand. 'We will get them back wont we?

'Yes Even If we have to kill everything in our way'. Sam said in a determined voice

'She can't manifest her powers yet, she is weak so take something she loves and make her angry and wrathful, and she will turn dark. The abomination will fight and turn the world to ash'.

Dean heard the voices talking, he lay still chained to the cold damp ground, and he was in pain from the beatings he got, not only from the Demon back at the motel but from the Demons that chained him. They strung him up a flogged him, they broke fingers and a couple of ribs too. Then the Demons humiliated Dean as they poured pigs blood all over him and left him lying in it for twelve hours. Dean didn't break; so far he held his own but for how long….
