Dean's Song

Chapter 11 – Execution

Sam patted Dean's leg as he handed him the bees wax. Dean placed some of the wax in one ear and placed the other in his coat pocket…ready for use. Dean took a closer look at Sam, his brother was trying to hide it, but he could see that Sam was in severe pain. "Sammy, what's wrong with you…and don't tell me nothing…I can see you are trying to hide the pain from me…is it your knee?"

"Where do I begin Dean…look, we can take care of me after we get rid of Alex…but I think I'm going to need you to help me back to my room…we don't want her to know that I have spoken to you…ok?" Sam groaned as he tried to stand…he felt like he was going to be sick.

"Sammy…hold on, let me help you." Dean got out of the bed and ignoring his own exhaustion, placed Sam's arm over his shoulder and helped Sam back down the hall to the bed he had occupied. "Are you sure you want to do this…we could just leave…if we go far enough, she won't be able to get to me any more…you need a doctor Sam!"

"NO…we have to finish this now…we may never get another chance. She will just keep killing men until someone makes her stop Dean…I'll be fine…look it's getting dark out…she should be coming for you soon."

Dean helped Sam back onto the bed, but he didn't like the way Sam was sweating, his breathing becoming more labored. Dean reached over to the nightstand and wringing out the washcloth, started to gently wipe the sweat from Sam's face. Sam tried to ignore the pain in his body from the poison, but it was getting harder. "Dean, I think I'm going to be sick…can you…I need to!"

Dean ran from the room to empty the wash basin and returned a few moments later, just as Sam started to retch. Holding his brother's shoulders, Dean watched as Sam continued to empty what little was in his stomach. Gently wiping Sam's mouth with the washcloth, Dean put the pan to the side. "Sam, this is crazy…we need to get you out of here to where you can get some help!"

Sam just groaned and clutching his stomach, once again tried to curl into a ball. The pain was intense and Sam could feel himself slipping into blackness. He had to fight…he had to remain conscious for Dean's sake. Afterwards, he would give in…but not until he was sure that his brother was safe.

Dean watched the battle of emotions crossing Sam's face. He knew that there was more going on than just a flu bug…something else was wrong with Sam. "Sam, you have to tell me what is wrong with you…if you don't I'm going to carry your skinny ass out of here and to the nearest hospital!"

"Now Dean, I thought we talked about keeping Sam here so that you could look after him." Alex purred as she entered the room.

Dean jumped, he had been so concerned with Sam, he hadn't heard her come in behind him. Trying not to give anything away, Dean looked once more at Sam and reached for the basin. "Alex, I'm glad you're here…could you do me a favor and rinse this out for me…I heard Sam getting sick and came in just in time."

"Sure honey…whatever you need…just give me a second and I'll be right back. In fact, it may be time to give Sam some more medicine…what do you think?" Alex looked at Dean, trying to decide if she needed to convince him to forget the hospital.

Dean paused as if thinking. "That sounds good Alex…but if he isn't better by tomorrow morning, I think we need to at least call in a doctor."

Alex smiled, Dean obviously wasn't totally out of her control yet. She glanced at Sam and her smile increased, the young man's eyes were no longer focused on what was going on around him. It wouldn't be long now…just one more dose should do it.

Dean watched as Alex left the room. He turned his worried eyes on his brother. Sam had remained quiet and was looking around as if he couldn't figure out where he was. "Sammy…heh are you ok little brother…don't leave me now." Dean said quietly as he reached to pull the blankets up tighter. Sam shivered, even thought his body burned with heat.

Dean waited for Alex to return. He knew that he had to get rid of her fast. Reaching into his coat pocket, he removed the bees wax and placed it into his other ear. Pulling out the gun, he placed it on Sam's bed, under the washcloth. It was within easy reach…now he just had to wait. Turning his head so that he could see the woman enter the room, he kept his hand on Sam's leg, trying to let him know that he was still there.

Alex hurried in the kitchen, preparing the juice and gathering the pills for Sam. She knew that she would have to work quickly if she wanted to break Sam's hold over his big brother. But first, she needed to make sure that Sam was not able to interfere. Walking slowly down the hallway, she smiled as she thought of the session she would be having with Dean later tonight. Tonight, she would allow herself to enjoy him physically before feeding. She felt drawn to Dean in a way that she had not felt in a long time. She was going to enjoy what time she had with him…even though it would never be long enough.

She walked into the room and handed the juice and pills to Dean. "Here you go, is there anything else you need right now?"

"Thanks Alex…I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you are doing for Sam…he means the world to me…I don't know what I would do if he doesn't make it" Dean let the raw emotion in his voice come through. Hoping it would distract the Siren long enough for him to get rid of her. "Would you mind opening the window just a crack over there…it's a little stuffy in here" Dean asked, pointing towards the window on the far side of the room.

"Do you think that is wise…I mean, wouldn't a draft make your brother worse?" Alex asked quietly, watching for a response from Dean. Dean shrugged and proceeded to help Sam up to take the medicine and juice.

"Come on Sammy…wake up for me, just for a minute. We need to get these pills into you. Alex has brought you some nice cool juice to help you take them…come on Sam!" Dean watched, hoping that Alex would move from behind him toward the window so that he could get a good shot. Alex was looking at him strangely…Great, she must have said something and I didn't respond. Dean was trying to think of a way to distract her when he felt Sam twisting in the bed. He looked over at his brother trying to figure out what was going on.

"NO…no more pills…I mean it Dean…I can't keep anything down…please just let me sleep…there is no pain when I sleep." Before Dean could react…Sam hitthe hand that was holding the juice and knocked the glass and pills across the room. Alex headed towards the mess to clean it up when she saw movement from the corner of her eye. She began to turn as Dean fired his first shot…hitting her in the shoulder and knocking her into the wall.

Alex screamed and lunged at Dean. Dean fired again, but Alex was too quick for him. She ducked the shot and rammed Dean in the stomach. Reaching forward, she held Dean's head in her hands and turned it so that he could see his ears. She pulled the bees wax from Dean's ear and tossed it aside, fury evident in her face as she began to sing.

"NO…I won't listen…you bitch…I will kill you!" Dean pushed hard and smiled in satisfaction as Alex once again was thrown against the wall. She shook her head and once again the music started. Dean felt like he was under water as he reached for the gun once again. "I will kill you, you bitch for what you have done to my brother…you can't control me any more!"

Dean's hand shook as he fought for control of his mind and body. The hatred in his veins fighting the music that was trying to take control. Alex continued to weave her spell, moving closer to Dean. "You cannot refuse me…you will drop the gun and come with me. Your brother doesn't need you anymore Dean…he will be fine on his own. How often do you need to run after him…care for him…he is a grown man and doesn't need a babysitter anymore…He doesn't need you…not as much as you need him. Come with me, and you will no longer feel alone!"

Dean's eyes hardened as he heard her utter the same words that the demon had thrown at him…"No one hurts my brother and lives…do you hear me!" Dean pulled back the hammer and pointed the gun at Alex's heart.

Alex stopped and shook her head as if talking to a child. "Dean, honey…then you will have to kill yourself…I wasn't the one who gave him the poison that is killing him…you gave it to him with your own hand…you are responsible for his illness and you will be responsible for his death!"

Dean gulped as the images of the herbs that he thought were helping Sam flashed through his mind. Oh my God…he had been the one…if Sam died…it would be his fault! Dean looked at Sam, a single tear running down his face as he focused once again on Alex.

Alex moved forward once again, sure that her spell would be able to bind the young man to her. As she reached for the gun in Dean's hand, he began to struggle with her. Both were fighting for control of the gun. Sam watched from his bed, as the gun was being pushed towards Dean's head…any moment now the gun would discharge.

A moment later, the sound of a single gun shot echoed through the room as two bodies fell to the floor,
