Chapter Ten
Dean gasped harshly as the pain allowed him a moment to breathe but his face soon resumed a mask of agony. He grunted as the goddess released her hold on him giggling as she looked at the helpless hunter. Blood dripped out of the corner of Dean's mouth trailing down his mouth and neck. Sammy better hurry Dean thought to himself as he was once again gripped by the excruciating pain.
Sam shuddered as he once again heard his brothers' gruff yell, kneeling over Bobby.
"We're almost ready boy, just hold on." Bobby said though Sam couldn't tell if he was talking to Dean or to him; he supposed it pertained to both.
Bobby leaned over the alter that was supposed to pull the goddess's to him allowing them to have the element of surprise; luckily the goddess that Dean had killed had kept honey and water around in plentiful supply. The wood hissed as Bobby held the lighted match up to it, and quickly told Sam to get ready.
Sam tensed as Bobby started the Latin chant that would bring the goddess to them, he held the mirrored knife in front of him prepared to kill whatever the alter would bring.
"….skeet nunc." Bobby finished waiting with bated breath, his own mirrored knife held at his side. Suddenly the goddess appeared, her eyes closed breathing in the scent of the honey and rain water as they burned together as one. Sam lunged toward the beautiful women in front of him pushed forward by his brothers' piercing suffering. The goddess' shrieked angrily, her eyes flew open revealing reddish-gold. She reached toward Sammy grabbing him around the throat pressing him against the adjacent wall.
"How dare you call the great Fury, Tisiphone." The goddess' thundered into Sam's face pressing him closer to the wall.
"To do this." Sam replied breathily, as Bobby stabbed the blade through the goddess' breast piecing her heart. Tisiphone's eyes widened as she crumpled to the ground lying near Sam's feet.
"That went surprisingly well." Sam stated, looking at Bobby as he cleaned his blade on the drapery behind him.
"Yeah well that was the easy one, the other has your brother." Bobby said in a straight voice stopping abruptly, when he realized how silent the house had gotten.
"Bobby…" Sam asked hesitantly, pausing only briefly before flying toward the basement door harshly pulling it open almost falling down the stairs in the process. Sam then slowed realizing that alerting the goddess to his own position wouldn't do Dean any good; He slowing walked down the stairs his mirrored blade showing him what was around the corners before he got there.
Bobby followed the younger hunter scared of what they might find as they turned the corner. Sammy's face paled as he looked at his brothers crumpled form lying against the wall. His face was pale with a thin line of blood trailing from his nose and mouth, his hands were covered in blood and covered his side protectively; His eyes were closed but his chest rose and fell heavily.
Sam started to move toward his brother but Bobby stopped him with a rough hand on his shoulder turning his attention to the regal presence at the end of the room.
"You've killed my sister." The lady said calmly with no emotion her back still turned to the boys. Bobby and Sam looked at each other both choosing not to reply. The goddess turned slowly, her face was expressionless but her eyes barely blinking were wide open, Sam shuddered slightly as her eyes seemed to bore a whole right through him.
"Do you realize the kind of power I have boy?" The goddess smiled slightly, moving closer to where Dean lay unconscious. "I have the power to both release him of his pain and allow more to come to him." Meg flicked her wrist drawing both Bobby's and Sammy's attention to the thin blade that she grasped in her right hand; Dean whimpered quietly in his sleep as he once again felt the presence of the blade in his side.
Sam gulped, looking over at his bruised and broken brother. "You come to my home, kill my own flesh and blood and don't have the decency to even answer a simple question?" Megara questioned in a dangerous tone, pausing only a moment before thundering; "THEN HE WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!" As the goddess yelled this Dean's eyes shot open and pain and confusion seemed to fill them. He began gasping in pain as his side was ripped open from the inside out and his ears once again began to fill with the torturous sound of dark laughter; the laughter of the Envy's. Dean cried out; the sound and the pain creating an overwhelming mix, he curled into himself on the ground. In between the shoots of pain he gasped out a single name, Sammy.
Sammy struggled against the force tying him to the wall, his heart ripping in two as he watched his brothers' pain and weak pleading. "DEAN! DEAN!" Sam yelled hoping beyond hope that somehow his brother would hear and at least know that he wasn't alone. Bobby lay in a heap in the middle of the floor having been knocked unconscious after the goddess had thrown him against the fountain after he had attempted to take the knife from her.
Dean was quieting his body coming to the very last of its endurance when he uttered a different name, just once, "Cas?" He said it as a question and allowed himself to be pulled into nothingness.
Suddenly the room shook and darkened. The goddess looked up at the ceiling, concern and worry filling her eyes. Sam dropped from the wall and rushed over to Dean, immediately pulling him into his arms and checking his vitals; he was still alive though only barely. Sam looked back up at the beautifully bewildered goddess and the much more imposing looking figure who had suddenly appeared behind her.
Cas grabbed her head and twisted affectively breaking her neck, the goddess stumbled and fell to the ground though her head was already righting itself. The angel calmly walked over to the older fallen hunter, grabbing the mirrored sword that lay next to him and stabbed it into the goddess's chest turning it twice before pulling it out. Her eyes widen as she gasped her last, her skin almost at once turning gray and finally turning to ash. Castiel looked up dropping the sword in the new pile of ashes, his face turning from warrior angel back into his regular concern.
"Are you alright?" Cas questioned Sam as he dropped down next to the two Winchester's reaching toward the oldest head.
"I'm fine. Why didn't you come earlier?" Sam asked, his eyes pleading with Cas to make his brother right.
"The furies blocked my vision of the house and of you. But when Dean called me it broke through the barrier alerting me to your need. I arrived as soon as I could." The angel answered his eyes trained and both hands on Dean's head attempting to see how far the damage went. Sam nodded in reply his eyes also once again filled by his brother.
"It is serious." Cas said standing up. Sam watched him go afraid that he might be leaving but then he realized that he was retrieving the knife that had caused his brother such catastrophic pain.
The angel bent over and picked up the knife, gazing at it for only a second before snapping it within his hands.
"Wow. You've been eating your Wheaties." Sam stated amazed at the angels strength.
Cas smirked slightly but then only appeared confused as he walked back toward Dean and Sam. Placing both hands once again on the eldest Winchester, Cas closed his eyes, he felt the power leaving his finger tips, he would need to rest later.
Dean gasped, jerking upward, his eyes first saw his brother then moved over to Cas, finally they caught sight of the fallen body of Bobby. "Bobby!" Dean half shouted rising quickly to half walk half stagger over to the side of his father like figure. "Cas!"
"He is fine Dean." Cas stated barely brushing Bobby's forehead before he began to awake.
"Boy, what were you thinking? Running off by yourself like that! You could have gotten us and yourself killed, and almost did." Dean smirked as Bobby ran on finally pausing Bobby said what was really on his mind. "I'm glad you're alright kid."
Sam, Bobby, and Castiel sat in the hotel room, Dean laid spread out on one of the twin beds all of them watching "The Hangover" on TV. Of course they were all laughing more at Castiel and his dumb questions then at the actually movie. Dean winced slightly. He had been having phantom pains ever since they had returned but Castiel had told him that that would soon past. Dean laid back on his pillows finally allowing himself to fully relax. Sam smiled at his brother and Dean smiled back before turning his attention back to the movie.
