A fast update for those of you worried about poor Sam with no Dean.

Chapter 14

"Sire, we can sense…"

"Let them come." a dark voice said from the shadows, the figure nodded and backed away.

Sam and Bobby made their way through the tunnels until they found the entrance to the lair. "You got a plan in case this one goes sour?" Bobby asked, Sam shrugged and opened the door. "Oh that's comforting." Bobby grumbled before following. They found themselves in an open room, well lit and surrounded by vampires. "Balls." whispered Bobby.

"Now I find myself in a position where I'm asking, what would two hunters be doing willingly walking into a vampire nest?" a smooth voice asked.

"Looking for the boss." Sam stood tall.

"Are you now, to what end?" the voice asked again, the surrounding vampires laughed.

"Trade." Sam answered bluntly.

"How very interesting, and what makes you think that you have anything that I want boy?" a vampire stepped out of the shadows and gripped Sam's neck, pulling him so they were face to face.

"I do." Sam croaked.

The vampire sniffed Sam and then licked his cheek. "Really? Hmm, perhaps I should hear you out," the vampire released him and offered his hand "Quinntin."

"Sam." they shook.

"So tell me Sam, what you have."

"I know where the rival clan is and I'm willing to tell you, but I need you to do something for me."

"Go on." Quinntin gestured for Sam to continue.

"My brother was…turned," Sam paused "I want you to get him back to me."

"He's mated?" Sam nodded.

"With his maker, the head of the nest."

Quinntin stared. "With Vincent? Now why would he mate with a hunter?" he put a finger to his chin. "I accept your offer, I will retrieve your brother but you have to promise not to stop me from taking over the clan."

"Sam." Bobby said with a warning in his voice.

"Deal." Sam said.

"Splendid, now where is my brother?"

"Vincent is your brother?" Sam asked shocked.

"He is, now where is his hide out, he's been most secretive about it." Sam told the vampires where to find Dean and they let him and Bobby go with the promise of returning Dean the next night. "But be warned mortal, I plan on killing his mate, that might make him, violent, it is a strong bond and to have it taken away, well Dean will not be able to control himself."

"I can handle him; just get him away from them." Quinntin nodded.

"Are you sure about this?" Bobby asked when they were back at the car.

"No, but I have to try." Sam said taking a breath.

Dean and Vincent were lying in bed together, dozing away the daylight hours. With Sam's intel Quinntin and his vampires were creeping through the nest, moving to quickly silence any that could give them away. It wasn't hard to find the sleeping Mates; their scents were easy to track through the hideout. Quinntin gave the signal and his specially picked group rushed in, injecting Dean with Dead Man's blood and cuffing him to keep his side of the deal with the hunter. Dean woke and struggled, the blood working quickly, he soon slumped against his captors, pain filled eyes locked on his Mate as Vincent fought against five well trained vampires. Dean moaned as his Mate was restrained, unable to do anything. "Hello brother." Quinntin stepped into sight and Vincent stared in horror.

"How?" He demanded and his brother chuckled.

"Lets just say you pissed off the wrong hunter." He whispered so Dean couldn't hear. "Even I know better than to mess with the Winchester's." he grabbed Vincent by the hair and then slit his throat to the bone, Dean crying out weakly at his Mate's agony. Quinntin dropped him and leant against the wall, watching his brother bleed out. Vincent stared at Dean as his life drained away, realising that maybe his brother was right. He should have left them alone or claimed them both. Dean struggled weakly as his mate became paler and paler, he had to help him! But then Vincent went limp and Quinntin moved in with a machete to remove his head, making sure he was dead for good. Dean screamed and slumped in his captors' arms, unconscious. "Take him to the brother's motel and tell them to leave town." Quinntin ordered, watching them carry Dean away.

Sam opened the door to find two vampires with Dean's unmoving body supported between them. "Dean!" Sam called in alarm.

"Dead man's blood." One told him, shoving Dean at him and Sam caught him gently. "Quinntin said to leave town."

Sam nodded and they left. Sam got Dean over to the bed and gently stroked his hair. "You're gonna be okay Dean." He looked up and smiled as Bobby left the bathroom.

"Sam?"

"He's unconscious, we were told to leave town." Sam answered and Bobby nodded, getting the Impala ready.

The drive back to Bobby's had been the most tense of Sam's life. He knew that Bobby was pissed with him and he knew that having an unconscious vampire in the boot of the car was not ideal either but he knew that he could get through to Dean, he had to.

"Let's get him into the basement," Bobby grunted as they pulled up outside his house.

"Yeah, then what?" Sam asked biting his lip.

"You tell me, this is your genius idea." Bobby snapped as they struggled with Dean's weight.

"Let's just wait for him to wake up and see what happens?" Sam suggested as they laid Dean down on the camp bed.

Bobby grunted in response and shackled Dean to the bed. "Precaution," he said as he saw Sam's expression. They left the room, each man hoping that Dean would pull through.

The light stung as Dean opened his eyes. He was tied down to a bed. He felt like his heart had been ripped from his body, he felt hollow and sick. His mate was dead, he was completely alone. He let out a tortured cry.

Sam winced as he heard the cry. "Dean." he whispered.

"What should we do now?" Bobby asked his voice full of concern.

"I'm going in, and I want you to promise that you won't come in with me, no matter what happens." Sam didn't look at Bobby while he spoke.

"What are you planning Sam?" Bobby asked his voice rising.

"It doesn't matter as long as we get the real Dean back, promise me." Sam bit his lip with determination. He would do what he had to get Dean back.

"Ok, but be careful." Sam nodded and made his way down to the Dean.
