Actions Speak Louder Then Words

Chapter 6

"Where are we gonna start looking for God?" Dean asked.

"Well I thought.."

Suddenly Dean's phone rang, and Dean hurried to answer it. Every time the phone rang these days, he expected bad news about Sam. Even when the sonofabitch wasn't with him, he worried about him. This time, though, unlike all the other times, it was about Sam.

"Dean?" The familiar voice on the opposite end made Dean's heart leap.

"Sammy! You alright?" Dean asked worriedly. What had happened to him that he would be calling after they had such a big fight?

"Can I..can I hunt with you again?" Sam's voice sounded weary and tired.

"Sam, you have to even ask that?" What happened to make Sam want to hunt again?

"Thank you," Sam sounded relieved on the other end.

Dean took a seat on the bed, and didn't notice that Castiel was watching him a bit jealously. "What happened to you, Sammy?"

"Hunters." That one word made chills run up Dean's spine, it was just the way Sam had said it.

"What do you mean, 'hunters'? What did they do to you?" Dean should have never let Sam leave, who knows what those bastards did. If they found out Sam had broke the last seal and tried to kill him? It would be his fault. Whatever they did to Sam, he would go and fix it. He would pay them back.

"They wanted me to kill demons, Dean."

"So?" Why was that a big deal? Sam used to do that anyway.

"They tried to force me to drink demon blood. That's when I knew I couldn't get away from it. Soon word would get out, and they would all be after me, whether to use me as a weapon, to to kill me for releasing Lucifer, I don't know. But I know I can't get away from it now. And I want to hunt with you again." Sam sounded a bit anxious, like he couldn't wait to be back in.

"What did you do to them, Sam?" Dean asked. He knew how Sam could get lately after he had started drinking the blood. Even though he quit, he seemed different to Dean.

"I almost killed them, but I got away..but we can catch up when we see each other..where are you?" Sam obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"I'm in Akron, Iowa. Where are you?"

"Caliente, Nevada"

"Alright, Sammy. There's a motel on route 138, the Early Bird. It's about halfway between us, so we'll meet there." Dean said, already jittery. He wanted to get up and go get Sam.

"Okay." He just sounded so defeated and tired, Dean was nervous about him going out alone.

"Sam, are you gonna be alright? Cass could come and get you.." Dean offered. He would drive to the motel with the Impala, and Cass could bring Sam there and watch over him so he could get some rest without worrying about hunters hunting his ass.

"Cass is there with you?"

"Uh, yeah. I'll tell you when we meet." Dean didn't want to tell Sam anything about what was happening between them, since he didn't even know himself. " So you want him to come get you?"

"No, I'll be fine. I'll see you soon, alright?" Sam hung up and Dean was left staring at the phone.

Dean glanced up; Castiel was looking at him. "We have to put the God search on hold, Cass. We have to pick up Sam first. He's having a hard time...hunters came after him."

Castiel nodded, but felt disappointed. How would Dean be when Sam joined them? Would he push Castiel away again? Cass suddenly wished Sam would stay where he was, because Dean would be concerned with his brother now and not pay a mind to him.

"Let's go then. Let's hit the road." Dean grabbed his duffel bag and gestured for Cass to follow him.

Castiel sighed as Dean left the room. He was going to make Dean realize his true feelings before they got to Sam, so Dean wouldn't just push him away. And he hoped Sam would be okay with it, because if he wasn't, Castiel was sure that Dean would put Sam first and not spare Cass's feelings.

"Come on, Cass!" Dean called, and Castiel left, closing the door behind him.
