Chapter 12
A couple of hours later, 8am, Justin and Ian both came upstairs. Justin carried a tray that had sandwiches and bottled water. They walked over to the door. Cade got to his feet. "What's going on," he asked his brothers as he inspected the tray of food. "Sebastian wants us to feed them, but for the life of me I can't figure out why." Cade pulled his gun. "Ok," he said.
Inside the room, Dean heard the voices outside and jumped to his feet. Sam did the same but Dean motioned for him to sit back down. He went over and stood on the side of the door. He hoped to take them by surprise, so that they could escape.
He waited, holding his breath. He heard the key being placed in the lock and saw the knob as it was beginning to be turned. He poised, ready to jump whoever came inside the room.
Justin pushed the door open a little. He could see Sam sitting on his bunk but there was no sign of Dean. He grinned at his brothers and waited a few minutes. Then he nodded and slammed the door back, hitting Dean and knocking him back into the wall. He saw stars.
"Dean!" yelled Sam. Justin stepped inside while Dean was trying to recover from the hit. He made his move but was stopped in his tracts as he saw Cade rush over to Sam, pulling his gun. Sam closed his eyes waiting. "Go ahead Dean," he said as he pointed his gun at Sam's head. "I'll kill his ass. Try me." Dean looked at his brother and the crazed man beside him and gave up. He stood where he was.
"Get over on your bunk now," ordered Justin. Dean took several deep breathes and did as he was told.
Cade looked down at Sam. "Sit back," he instructed and he also obeyed. Ian handed out the sandwiches and the water. "Eat up boys," he said. "I don't know when Sebastian will want to feed you again. Both brothers took their lunches and began taking the wrapping off the food.
Sam looked up at Cade, those big brown eyes pleading and said, "We can help you." He was desperately trying to reach at least one of them. If he could then they could help reach the other two. "You're possessed. Me and my brother can exorcise the demon and free you." Cade looked down at Sam as if thinking about it. Sam held his breath. Across the room, so did Dean and then, without warning, Cade backhanded Sam knocking his head back against the wall!
"HEY!" yelled Dean angrily jumping to his feet, prepared to defend his brother.
"Sit down," warned Ian. Dean stood where he was, refusing to move. He clenched his fist at his side wanting nothing better then to teach the three a lesson. "Do it now Dean!" yelled the man. Dean looked from one to the other still not moving.
"I will kill him," promised Cade cocking his gun.
"Okay," said Dean. "Just wait."
"Sit the hell down!" Cade repeated for the third time. Dean did as he was told. Cade released the hammer. "Now eat your food, both of you. It may be awhile before you get anymore."
Dean watched his little brother. Sam swallowed hard and sat up. He took his sandwich and began to eat, and then opened the water. Ian watched as Dean did the same.
"Good boys," he said and all three brothers left locking them back inside. Cade went back to his post by the door. His watch was still a couple of more hours. Justin and Ian both went back down to the living room to tell Sebastian what had happened. Neither said a word to the other.
In the room, Sam finished his sandwich and downed the water, but Dean just nibbled at his and sipped his water. Neither said anything for a few minutes.
Another hour passed and so far Sam had not said one word despite Dean trying his best to get him to talk. He was beginning to get nervous once again. "Sam," he asked very concerned. "Are you okay?" Sam nodded but didn't speak.
"Are you sure," prodded Dean.
"I'm fine," he replied not really sure. He got to his feet and walked around. He was suddenly very restless. After a few minutes he walked back over to his bunk and sat back down. He stared at Dean intently. Suddenly he got very quiet.
Dean put down his half eaten sandwich and his bottled water and gave Sam his full attention. He did not like the way he was looking at him. It made him nervous. "What is it," he asked when Sam just sat there.
"Sammy." He got to his feet and made his way over to him. He cocked his head to the side and stared at his brother. He bit his bottom lip nervously. The look on Sam's face told him that he probably needed to keep his distance so he knelt down in front of him.
"Sammy talk to me," prompted Dean. "What is it? What's the matter?"
Sam shrugged. "I don't know," he said trying to figure it out in is head. "I just don't feel right. I can't really explain it. I just feel," he paused for a few minutes and then continued. "Off," he said.
"Off how," asked Dean getting even more nervous.
Sam shook his head, the movement causing pain. "I don't know," he said. "Like I said, I can't explain it." He continued to just sit there making no move to get up or move or anything. This made Dean's worry increase. Something was wrong with his brother. Something was very wrong and he didn't know what to do about it.
He decided to take the chance and slowly got up off his haunches to cautiously make is way over to him. He sat down beside him and said, "It's going to be okay Sam. I promise. Just hang on. I'll get you out of here." Sam nodded but didn't speak.
Downstairs, Sebastian was still pacing and trying to decide who to start in on first. "Sam," he finally decided. "We'll start with him." Ian nodded. "That will also keep Dean in check. He's very protective of his little brother."
"Correct," said Sebastian as the plan began to form. "Sam will be good to start with. He's already beginning to fall under my spell. He's beginning to feel the full effects of my control."
"What about Dean," asked Justin? "He's not just going to let us mess with his brother."
"I've already messed with his brother," Sebastian replied as he turned to take in the room. "What we might like to do is let Sam help us with Dean. Doesn't that sound interesting?"
Justin and Ian thought about that a minute and thought that it sounded great. Of course Dean going first also sounded good. They didn't really care which way it went. They just wanted some action. They both grinned and nodded enthusiastically. "Oh yeah," they said. "Sounds great."
"Go get him and bring him to me," Sebastian ordered.
"Yes sir," said Ian and both him and Justin went back upstairs. When they reached the landing, Cade stood up once again. "What is it," he asked.
"Sebastian wants us to bring him Sam," said Ian and Cade nodded.
Inside the room, the Winchesters had no idea what was about to take place.
