Disclaimer: If I owned Supernatural I'd be writing episodes not this little tale of woe. So no suing me unless you want my jelly beans, then you have to go under my bed and find them yourself. Good luck with that.
During Devil's Trap, what the Demon is thinking when Dean talks back to it.
Italics are the Demon's thoughts
Cut a Little Deeper
"You know you fight and you fight for this family, but the truth is…they don't need you…not like you need them," John's voice is low but it flows through the cabin and tears through the brothers like knives.
The Demon is loving this. Using their father's voice hurts them. Makes those words cut just a little deeper. They know it's not their father, but their father is still there inside. Helpless.
Dean. The Perfect Son. The Soldier. He doesn't let his emotions control him, even when his family is in danger. He becomes…focused. He knew what happened in the alley with his son and in the house with his daughter. He'd kept an eye on the family over the years. When the other Winchesters were threatened, Dean went after whatever it was with a stone cold heart and a vengeance. But this time all he can do is suffer and watch as the same happens to his precious little brother. John's voice continued to expose Dean's greatest weakness.
"Sam, he's clearly John's favorite. Even when they fight, that's more concern than he's ever shown you."
A good slice.
Right.
There.
Deep into the heart and all those years of pain and angst come to a head. He won't cry. But how long is it going to take to tear that wound wide open?
"I bet you're real proud of your kids too, huh?"
What is he talking ab-
"Oh wait, I forgot," Dean ends with a whisper and a smirk, "I wasted 'em."
…Damn...
That hurts.
I'm sure this'll hurt more.
John looks back up…and the Demon smiles.
Please review, this was my first story, and constructive criticism would be cool.
