Before we get down to business, I wanted to tell you guys that I watched the season 8 finale last night! Oh my God, it was so friggin' good! But it was sad! I spent about twenty minutes afterwards just laying on the ground, not responding to anything or anyone (unless they touched me). I ended up getting called Crowley because I bit someone! It was their fault, they tickled me!
But anyways, this is the last chapter of this story! It was awesome to see everyone's reactions when reading this and all the support I got was just great! There will be another one coming out, though! I might try to get it up today, but if I don't, it will be up tomorrow for sure! I hope you all go on to read the next one! I would love to hear from you all!
Chapter 11
"Bobby!" Dean yelled as he ran towards the door that lead to the back room.
"Coming!" Was Bobby's response.
Dean threw open the door and ran into the middle of the room. He knelt down next to both of his siblings. Sam looked relatively ok, despite looking a bit dirty and tired. Elizabeth, on the other hand, looked horrible. She looked tired and very sick. Her skin was pale and she felt cold. Her skin was covered in grime and she had a bullet wound on her shoulder. Dean's heart broke at the sight of his two siblings in such a state. Dean made his way over to Sam first.
"Sam? Sammy?" Dean said, trying to rouse his little brother.
Sam let out a small moan and his eyes flickered open. He looked around quickly before his eyes settled on his big brother. "Dean?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm here, Sammy, I'm here." Dean said. He looked at Bobby to find him looking at Eli with fear in his eyes. "Bobby!" Dean said, snapping him out of it, "Can you cut these ropes?"
"Yeah." Bobby answered and cut the ropes with one of his machetes.
"Sam, can you walk?" Dean asked as he helped him up.
"Yeah." he said, then stumbled, only to be caught by his big brother.
"Bobby, can you help him out of here? I'll get Liz." Dean asked.
"I got him." Bobby said, taking Sam and supporting him as he walked.
Dean moved over to Elizabeth and cupped her face with his hands. "Lizzie?" Dean asked. Her eyes flickered open and she looked at Dean immediately.
"Dean...?" she said in a weak whisper.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm here. You're going to be ok." he said. He then picked up his barely conscious sister. Dean then began the trek back to the Impala. When he got there, he saw Bobby waiting outside the Impala and Sam sitting in the back of the car. Bobby opened the door and Dean put his little sister in the back seat. Bobby closed the door and got in the passenger seat. Dean got into the driver seat and started the car.
"I could have sat in the back, Sam." Bobby said as they sped off towards the hospital.
"No, it's fine." Sam replied and Dean knew exactly what he was doing. Whenever Sam got hurt on a hunt when they were kids, Dean would sit in the back with Sam where they were on the way to the hospital or something. It was comforting and Sam was extending the same kindness to Elizabeth. It made Dean feel a little better to know his little brother made a great big brother. He looked quickly into the back seat to see Sam running a hand through Eli's hair slowly.
"We're almost there. How's she doing?" Dean asked.
"She's unconscious again." Sam said worriedly.
"How are you doing?" Dean asked his brother.
"Better than her. Hungry and thirsty." Sam answered.
Dean sighed and sped up.
Five minutes later, they were at the hospital. Bobby helped Sam inside, while Dean carried Eli. The doctors rushed over and put Eli on a stretcher. When Dean tried to follow, he was held back and told that he had to wait. Dean then got the attention of a nurse so she could tend to Sam.
"I'm fine, Dean. You should be worried about Liz." Sam said as the nurse tended to him.
"Oh, I am." Was Dean's response.
After three hours of pacing, crappy hospital coffee, and tense silences, the doctor came out.
"Are you the family of Lily Rampling?" he asked.
"Yes." Dean said, "How is she?"
"She was malnourished, shot in the shoulder, and had some sort of sedative in her system. We performed surgery to get the bullet out and everything went fine. She will be fine, she will just need some food and water. What happened to her?"
"I'm Agent Wilder and she is my partner. You see, her brother here, Sam, was kidnapped and we were trying to figure out what happened to him. She got taken, too, and we got them both out." Dean said quickly.
"Alright." the doctor said, then looked towards Sam, "Were you checked out?"
"Yes, thank you. They treated me better than her. I just need something to eat." Sam answered.
"Alright," he said, "Do you want something from here?"
"Nah, we'll get some." Sam said.
"Alright. You can go see Lily now." the doctor said, then walked away.
"I'll go get us burgers." Bobby said. He headed out the door as Sam and Dean went to Eli's room. When they got there, she was laying awake in a hospital bed. Her shoulder was bandaged and she looked pale. She looked completely exhausted.
"Hey boys." she said with a smile.
"Hey girl." Dean said.
"Dean, did you get Sam checked out?" she asked immediately, obviously worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Worry about yourself, you had it much worse." Sam said.
"I'll never stop worrying about you guys." she said.
"How are you feeling, Lizzie?" Dean asked.
"You know what? No one else calls me that."
"Huh?"
"Lizzie. Liz. No one else calls me that. Just you guys." Eli responded.
Sam smiled at how off-topic his little sister was getting. She was a day-dreamer.
"Liz. Status report. I wanna know how you're feeling." Dean said, smiling a little.
"I'm fine. A little hungry, though." she responded.
"Salvation has come." Bobby said, walking through the door and throwing Elizabeth a burger.
"Bobby!" she said happily.
"That's right, kid. I'm here." Bobby said with a smile.
After a lot of chatting and eating, Bobby went to get a motel room. He took Sam with (not without a lot of argument) on Dean's orders.
"You need some comfort. I'll watch Elizabeth." Dean had said.
Now Dean sat in a chair facing Eli's bed. She was fast asleep. Dean was going over killing those vampires and couldn't help feeling bad about it.
"What's wrong, Deany?" Elizabeth said.
"I thought you were sleeping." Dean said, "You should get some rest."
"Alright, I will. After you tell me what's wrong." she said with a smirk.
"I just feel guilty about killing those vampires. Not enough to regret it. Not by a long-shot. But... They were a family. And I killed them." Dean said, looking down in to his lap.
"You did the right thing. They were hurting people, you didn't have a choice." she responded in a kind voice, "They were horrible. They took Sam."
"And you."
"Meh." she said like she didn't care.
"Don't sell yourself short. You are important. If you weren't, would we have come for you?" Dean asked.
"Probably not." she answered.
"Exactly. Now shut up and go to sleep." Dean said with a smile.
"Love you too, Dean."
After three days, Eli was released from the hospital. The three Winchester siblings had convinced Bobby to go home a day ago, so he could man the phones. They almost had to push him out the door, but he finally went. Elizabeth was happy to be able to do things again. She had been sitting in bed for the whole time, due to Sam and Dean's mother-henning.
"I'm free!" she said was they walked out the hospital doors.
"Where to next?" Dean asked Sam.
Before Sam could respond, another voice spoke.
"Dean Winchester. I've been looking for you."
CLIFFHANGER! Read the next to find out what happens!
