Title: The Ride - Hurt!Dean – Early Season 3 (spoilers up to 3x01)

Summary: Sam & Dean in the woods, both angry, how can something not go wrong with one of them?

Disclaimers: Not mine, but I'm actively working on getting bits & pieces.

E/O Drabble Challenge – Word: Hold

Word Count: 100 x2

AN: And this is where I really really felt the limit of the 100 words. Frustrating! Very frustrating! LOL. So yeah, if things don't seem very realistic, I'll blame it on the 100 words! And you can still refer to the previous AN. HAHA!

Chapter 41: A Perfect Life's an Oversight(Sam's POV)

I draw the big lines for the doc: hiking, pain, swelling, numbness, vomiting, confusion, coughing, the nose bleed. I see her cringe at that one but she keeps her focus on Dean, inserting IV lines, listening to his heart and lungs, gathering various instruments.

"So, here's the situation. It's serious but your brother seems to be holding his own so far. The Rangers and I work together. They just received an anti-venom delivery; I'll have them send some over."

"Is Dean gonna be okay with that?"

"I have more work to do on him. We'll see how he reacts then."

and #2

Chapter 42: I walk these streets alone at night (Dean's POV)

The voices grow faint, vanishing again. Unlike earlier though, I don't feel like I'm getting buried deeper into the ground. No, this place is much more comfortable, warmer. No oppression.

There's no use trying to stay with the voices. I might as well enjoy this moment of quiet peace. Hell knows we barely have enough of those. I'm sorry Sam isn't here with me. He deserves a break as much as I do. Probably more with what's coming.

It'll be hard for a while, but ultimately I won't hold him back anymore. He can go back to school, to life.

TBC

AN: So now I'm facing a problem. If Dean is out for the count, should I:

1- switch to the Doc's POV for a couple chapters until Dean is back

2- keep exploring Dean's little escape and let you assume what work is being done on him (coz remember we want the story to keep moving and Dean is really not helping here!!)

3- pretend Dean is having an "out-of-body" experience so he can tell us what's happening with him

4- switch to a more common outside description for a couple chapies

I'd go for either 1 or 4, so unless you tell me otherwise, one or the other will happen. ^^ See you hopefully on Sunday!! Haha! Yeah... right. LOL.

ETA: Since I played with the Chapters, and grouped the 24 first ones into one... it has been brought to my attention that logged in people who already left reviews previously for the now vanished chapters won't be able to leave new ones (say you left a review for chapter 10 back then, you won't be able to leave one for this one) Haha. Yes I hadn't thought of that. I guess the solution is either to leave one anonymously and eventually put your name (I'll find you to reply) or not bother and not leaving one. I'm probably one of the few people here not craving for reviews. When I see that, what many of the good writers around here consider a really bad story get 500+ reviews, I'm thinking... meh, doesn't make much sense. Of course... it's still nice to know people are enjoying. Whatever. Just thought I'd let you know so you're not surprised. ^^ Have a great day/night wherever you are!! (Hell I talk too much)
