"Won't the people in your camp miss you?" Dean asked as the three of them walked through the jungle the next morning, "No, everyone has their own problems in mind and I told Sun that I would go exploring and hunting, so I doubt I'll be missed and if I am, I have an excuse"
"Hunting?" Sam smiled, "Yeah, what did you think we survived on? Berries?"
"So where exactly are we going?"
"A place called the dark territory, that's where we first saw that thing with our own eyes, before we'd only heard it"
"So you think that's where it lives?"
"I don't know, but if we're looking for that thing, what better place to start than there?"
The three of them walked quietly for several minutes, slowly Dean begun to slack behind knowing that Sam probably wanted a few moments alone with Kate, something which Sam was grateful for.
"What happened last night?" Sam asked trying to find out what he could about the other men, "Why were you angry?"
"It…it was nothing"
"It didn't seem like nothing"
"I had a disagreement, that's all"
"So this Jack, why do you care what he thinks?"
"I don't" she lied, "I just don't like being contradicted"
"And what makes him think he's right and you're wrong?"
"Because he's a doctor and he thinks he's always right"
"and this disagreement with the doctor, what did Sawyer have to say about it?"
"What? What does he have to do with any of this?"
Sam begun to grow impatient, he was eager to know how she felt but she still wouldn't answer him directly so he dared to face her up front, "Do you love them?" ha asked as he stepped in front of her and stopped her from continuing walking, "or…one of them?"
Kate looked at him angrily in the eyes and without any previous warning…
"SLAP!!"
Sam rubbed his cheek while Kate continued walking at a fast pace, "That went well" Dean said laughing as he walked past his brother, "actually, it could have been worse"
"Yeah, she could have kicked you between the legs"
The three of them continued walking quietly, until they felt the need to stop, rest and have lunch, the three stopped under a tall fruit tree and without hesitation Kate dropped her backpack and begun to climb up the tree with cat like ability until she reached the lower fruit baring branches which were several feet high above the ground.
"She's amazing!" Dean remarked while watching her climb, "Yes she is" Sam agreed.
"Catch!" she shouted as several mangoes begun to fall, and after a few minutes Kate was back on the ground beside them, "Oh! I almost forgot!" she opened her backpack and threw a bag of chips at Sam, and a handed a six pack of beer to dean, "enjoy!"
"Where'd you get this?"
"Long story, don't ask, just eat"
"What's DHARMA?" Dean examined the bag, "What did I tell you?"
"Don't ask?"
"Exactly!"
When they were all finished eating they decided to rest a while longer, "Can I ask something?" Kate said as she opened her second beer, "Shoot!"
"How exactly are you planning to kill that thing if you don't even know what it is?"
"If we're here it's because we're meant to kill it, so we'll just have to find a way when the time comes"
"so you don't have a plan? Oops sorry, I forgot who I was talking too"
"Ha! Ha! Very funny" Sam said sarcastically, "we make plans! uh…on ocations…when it's called for…and we have time for them"
"Yeah, you do" Kate said smiling, her previous anger completely forgotten.
After a few more minutes the group set out on their journey again, walking through dense jungle trails and on open clearings the walked until the sky turned orange as the sun begun to set, "We should make camp, it'll be dark soon"
After setting a small fire the three of them laid down on the floor, "I understand why you don't wanna go" Sam whispered, "Excuse me?" Kate began getting angry thinking he was going to start with his jealousy again, "It's great here" Sam sighed, "it's…Peaceful" Kate smiled and relaxed.
"It's not always like this" she yawned, "but I think today was the most fun I've had in a long time"
"You don't have to stay, we can find some explanation, or if you'd like…I could stay here…with you" Sam waited silently hoping to hear an answer that would please him, but as he turned to face her he found that she had fallen asleep.
If she had heard him or not, he didn't know, but one thing he was sure of, he really was falling in love with her, and even though she wouldn't admit it, he knew she felt something for him too, and in the morning he'd let her know of his feelings and hope that she would answer reciprocally.
It was around midnight when the loud howl of the monster they were seeking woke them to a stand, "It's coming" Kate whispered, "everybody stick close together" Dean said as the three stood back to back, "Do you see it?"
"No, you?"
"me neither, it's too dark"
"We have to move" Kate said as she begun to lead them out of their camp, "you can't fight it in the dark, and the fire will lead it right to us, we have to hide!"
The three of them ran through the night trying to loose that which they had been hunting, "It's right behind us!"
Suddenly Dean stopped, "You two go ahead! I'll distract it!"
"What? No! It'll kill you!" Kate shouted as she turned back for him but Sam grabbed hold of her, "He'll be all right! Come on! We have to go!"
The two of them continued running in the darkness, unaware that they were getting dangerously close to the ledge of a mountain until it was too late, Sam and Kate fell and begun to roll on the steep cliff, Sam instinctively surrounded Kate with his arms, protecting her as much as he could and pain struck him as his back smashed onto a log halfway down, they continued rolling and just as they reached the bottom the dried stump smashed on their side, pinning Sam as his right arm cracked between wood and rock.
"Sam!!" Kate shouted as she got up, "Are you ok?"
"No…I think I broke my arm!"
"Wait, I'm going to try and free you" Kate walked up to the edge of the stump and pulled it up and slid it away from Sam, "You're bleeding, we have to take you to Jack!"
"I thought you said he'd shoot us?"
"He won't, I won't let him, trust me, he'll take care of your wound"
"I'd rather we didn't go, it's not that bad see" Sam tried to move his arm but quickly gave up the attempt, "Yeah, I can see that, now come on let me help you up, we have to get there before you bleed to death"
"No, seriously, we shouldn't, we…I don't want him to treat me"
"Would you stop it! All this pride and jealousy are going to get you killed!"
"I can't help it, I…" Kate tried to pull him up, "Save the speech for later!" but Sam pulled her down on him instead, "I Love you!"
For a few awkward seconds they stared at each other's eyes then without further warning Kate lunged forward and begun kissing him passionately.
Dean stood bravely looking at the source of the sound "You want me, Well here I am, come and get me!"
"/&!"#&#"/(/&"
He could here the monster loudly charging towards him and just as he was sure he was going to be rammed by it, everything became quiet, "I don't think so" Dean turned around with surprise, "You?"
"Yes Dean, me!" Azazel, the yellow eyed demon walked up to him, "You can't be, we killed you!"
"You sure of that?" Azazel said calmly, "Only one way to know" Dean raised his shotgun and with a loud bang Azazel vanished before him, "You got him Son!" Dean turned around, this time he found his father happily staring at him, "Dad?"
"Yes Dean, it's me"
"How?"
"I was revived"
"That's not possible"
"it is, I'm here, It's me!"
"I'm sorry Dad"
"for what son?"
"For this!" Dean quickly raised his shut gun and with another bang his father disappeared in a cloud of smoke, suddenly something sent him flying and pinned him against a tree trunk, "We can do this all night Dean Winchester!" his brother Sam walked out of the jungle with hia arm raised to where he was keeping Dean trapped, "But we both know I'm not Sam, John, or Azazel, as we also know that you can't kill me and I can't kill you"
"Yeah? Then what do you propose we do?"
"Leave, you and your brother have done your parts here, let Avalon's magic take you elsewhere"
"Sorry, no can do, not while you're still after the survivors"
"Do you know where we are? Who I am?"
"Should I?"
"I am death, I collect the souls of those whose time has come, and if I've taken any one, it was the hand of destiny's doing, not mine"
The fake Sam lowered his hand and freed Dean, "Now do you understand why you can't kill me, I am neither demon, nor angel, I am not reaper nor warlock and I am not a mortal or a god, All I am is death, plain and simple"
"And that's supposed to make me feel better about you?"
"It's supposed to let you know that there's nothing you can do, Imagine a world without death, a world where the mortally wounded and terminally ill can only lay in pain, a world where people are born every day but no one dies"
"Ok, I get it, so what? You want us to just get in the car leave?"
"Exactly" the fake Sam smiled "And Dean!"
"Yeah?"
"See you soon" Death smiled and with a snap of his right hand fingers he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Great" Dean got up and begun looking for the real Sam and Kate.
Elsewhere Kate was laying next to Sam, she smiled at him for a few seconds and sighed, "Did it hurt?"
"My arm? or what we did?"
"Your arm…while we did it"
"A little I guess, that wasn't really what was on my mind at the time"
"Oh my god!"
"What?"
"Dean! We should go look for him! He…"" she said as she sat down and begun buttoning her shirt, "Don't worry, he'll be all right" Sam pulled her back down and kissed her on the forehead, "trust me"
