You don't have to read The Truth about Dean Winchester but it really would help.

CHAPTER 03

Previously: Dean himself was trying to make Elkins feel OK, mainly because he felt that Elkins was hiding something from him. Figuring things out was Dean's specialty, and he could feel that Elkins was hiding something like he could feel what Sam wanted or how he was, but even he on the night he went to get wood realized something was watching him and he could not shake the feeling that something was very wrong, so he sharpened his knives and cleaned his guns. Dean figured if anything was coming such as the water demon, he would be ready. Of course this had the reverse effect on Elkins who figured he had slipped up and would have to move his plan to tonight instead of tomorrow, Yes Elkins decided right after Dean told him he thought something was out there watching, that he would have to prepare tonight's supper very carefully.

Elkins wanted the children to sleep several hours so he made sure there was enough sedative in their helpings to make sure they would get a good night's sleep, well at least one of them. To make sure Dean went to sleep quickly he also added a little garlic powder to it also. Unfortunately for everybody Elkins meal worked well and soon after sitting down to watch some television both children where asleep on the sofa. Maybe it was the way that they where huddled together that made Elkins stop for a second but reasoning that he was doing everyone a favor, Elkins picked up Dean and carried him out to the shed, lying him down on the top of his work table. He figured there was no need to tie him down because he was out and was going to be out for several hours and there where signs and sigils on the shed to keep him in. After Elkins had laid Dean out on the table, he decided that his next step just in case this took more time then he thought, was to move Sam into his bed so that he would think that everything was ok in the morning.

It was when Elkins got back into the living room that he realized something was wrong, Sam was missing, but that could not be the kid was out, and then he turned round to face Charles and realized further that he was in a lot of trouble and so was Sam. Charles gave him a evil smile, Don't worry Sam will be fine, you should worry about yourself. At that Elkins found out that he was surrounded and outnumbered, worse to say he was also unarmed and that was not good. In fact, Elkins figured this was his last night and it would have been, if Rachael had not stepped in and stop the three vampires that where beating him unconscious. Just before darkness claimed him, Rachael held his head and said - Send Dean to us, and move out, Sammy will be waiting, if he comes quickly and oh yes thanks for drugging them for us. I'm going to enjoy this Charles, I'm going to enjoy this very much.

The next thing Elkins knew it was morning and he could hear noises coming from the shed. Elkins limped to the shed and paused at the door, he was now armed having made sure to pick up a silver knife before coming to the shed. Elkins banged on the door to get Dean's attention, which he did, stand away from the door Dean, and get back up on the table. Elkins let me out, what the Hell is going on?, where's Sam, - ELKINNNS answer me. Stand away from the door Dean and do as I say or your not getting out and .. Elkins paused how was he going to do this, he had to kill Dean and then go after Sam and somehow rescue him. Normally this would have been easy but the beating had taken it's toll on Elkins, it would take him hours to find the nest that he now knew had moved into the area, and by that time he would not be able to fight anything let alone a vampire. Dean getting tired of the silence began banging on the door again, this did shake Elkins out of his thoughts and he said to Dean move away from the door, I'm coming in.

Slowly Elkins opened the door watching Dean move back. Get onto the table Dean, don't make this hard on yourself, now lie down. Elkins are you mad what have you done to Sam. Your friends took him. My friends Dean asked what friends I don't know anyone here. Dean was desperate to figure a way out of this but so far he his mind was coming up empty, Elkins was doing a very good job of blocking the closed door and without knowing what happened to Sam, Dean was facing a very uncomfortable time so he decided that the best move might be to play for time, so slowly at first he backed away and got onto the table, but he refused to lie down. He sat there on the table hoping for Elkins to make a mistake and give him a opportunity to escape. The only problem was however badly Elkins was hurt, he was no fool.

Your friends, Elkins shouted the vampires. At that Dean jumped off the table, Vampires have Sam, we have to find him rescue him. Maybe it was the sincerity and slight touch of fear in Dean's voice that gave Elkins pause, reminded him of the way Dean always took care of Sammy making sure he was ok, and maybe if Dean had not moved slightly to the door he would have maybe voiced his thoughts and regrets but Dean moved seeing a opportunity and Elkins responded on automatic, grabbing Dean before he could escape and putting the knife right across his throat. I'll make this quick, then go visit your friends, don't worry I won't tell them what you are, sighed Elkins realizing for the first time that this was the hardest kill he had done so far, maybe he was going soft he thought as he started to press the knife further into Dean's neck preparing to slice it though in one swift motion.

Now Dean knew his error, Elkins had figured it out, how he did not know but he had and now he was going to die. He silently prepared for the killing blow, Elkins had him so he could not move and could get no leverage either, there was no way he could escape. He just hoped that Elkins would rescue Sam, and it was that thought that made Dean willing to fight to his very last breath, for he knew even now that Elkins was in no condition to fight a nest of vampires alone, he would have to wait till John returned and that was a week away about. The thought of Sam being held by vampires for a week made Dean talk, try to reason. Wait, Please he said, Look I know what I am, you know what I am but my brother doesn't and he's just waiting for me and you to rescue him so can't this wait until he's safe... Dean tried to put on a cocky smile but it's very difficult when you have a knife to your throat. Now he waited what seemed like a eternity for Elkins to decide, would he cut his throat or help him to rescue his brother and then cut his throat. Both ended with Dean being dead but at least in one Sam was safe.

Seeing Elkins hesitate just drawing a thin line of blood across his throat, Dean relaxed his muscles trying to show he was not about to attack or try to escape again. Then he continued speaking. Look all I care about is Sam, after we rescue him and I make sure he's ok and will stay that way, I'll do whatever you want. You can fillet me if you want but I need Sam to be OK, he's not like me, he's fully human and a pain in the arse ( he figured maybe a little levity would help push his point), but he's my responsibility and Dean hesitated, I need to make sure he's OK.
