Chapter 14: The Deal
The demon vanished as he finished sealing the deal with Sam. He held his hand out for a moment longer and sighed. He couldn't believe that in only a couple of hours he would hand himself over to the demon. Sam went over to the unconscious form of Dean and grabbed the knife that was located in his jacket.
Dean groaned as he was lowered to the ground. Sam looked at him for a moment, hoping he would wake up, but it didn't happen. He went over to John, who was lying in the middle of the floor, and untied him.
Sam heard Dean groan again and he looked over to see him looking around. Sam rushed over to Dean and helped lean him up against the post. Dean looked at Sam and grimaced.
"Hey, Sammy." Dean said weakly, grimacing from the pain of moving. "Where'd the demon go?" Sam sighed and looked over at John who gave a low groan.
"He's gone… for now." Sam said as he helped Dean over to John. John attempted to get up from the ground, but grimaced in pain from the effort. Sam helped his Dad up and managed to get Dean and John out of the warehouse and over to the Impala.
Sam drove for what seemed like hours. Finally John regained consciousness after about 10 minutes and looked around him. Sam smiled at his dad.
"Hey, dad." he said when his dad finally noticed him. "How are you doing?" his dad grimaced as he got comfortable in the seat and looked in the back at the unconscious form of Dean.
"I'm okay, Sammy." he said sighing. He looked back at Dean again. "How's he doing?" Sam stole a quick glance at Dean.
"I don't know, he was awake but he passed out again after I got him to the car." Sam said staring ahead at the road. John looked at Sam curiously.
"Are you okay, Sammy?" John asked as he noticed Sam's doleful expression. Sam sighed.
"I think I did something terrible, dad." Sam said stealing a quick glance at his dad. At that moment Dean regained consciousness. He looked up at Sam.
"What did you do this time, Sammy?" Dean asked with a slight grimacing smile. Sam sighed again, how could he explain that he had just turned himself over to the demon in exchange for the lives of his brother and dad? Dean suddenly got serious as he noticed the look on Sam's face. "What is it, Sam?"
John and Dean looked at Sam meaningfully. "I traded myself for your lives." Sam said sorrowfully. John and Dean exchanged glances.
"You what?" John said angrily. "Please tell me you didn't just say that you traded yourself." Sam didn't look at his father. He knew he wouldn't understand. He looked pleadingly at Dean, but Dean wouldn't look him in the face. Sam turned away, he thought that Dean at least would understand.
He looked up as he saw the sign for the hospital and pulled into the parking lot of the emergency room. Their car was immediately surrounded by doctors and nurses and John and Dean were whisked away. Sam followed behind at a distance. For once he was at a loss of how to save himself.
