Blood Moon

Chapter seventeen

"No one's dying Sam."

"How can you be so sure?...Oh sure the virus won't kill you, at least not outright, but it's going to make you wish you were dead. It's too late for me Dean I already have it, but you don't. You can still walk away from this….Please Dean, I'm begging you, don't infect yourself for some theory of Dad's that might not even work."

"But I think it will work Sam….and so does Bobby."

"Well I'm not taking that chance."

"I don't think you have a choice in this." Dean gave a small smile as he nodded toward the chain.

"Give me the key Dean." Sam said standing up and holding out his hand.

"I don't think so."

"Give me the damn key Dean!" Sam made a move toward Dean who quickly stepped back. When Sam got to the end of the chain he tripped and went down hard. "Damn it Dean give me the key!" He yelled as he sat up then looked at his brother as he rubbed his ankle. "Dean give me the key, this is my problem….don't make it yours."

"It's our problem Sam, not yours, ours."

Just then Bobby walked into the room.

"Bobby…" Sam said as he stood up. "Bobby don't let him do this….please Bobby I'm begging you, don't let him do this."

"Sam, your brother and I went over your dad's and my notes, we think this might work."

"You think! Bobby if it doesn't work Dean and I both our going to be infected, we'll both have this damn virus….And then what are we suppose to do, lock ourselves away every full moon? I can't live like that and I know Dean can't either. Please just give me the key and let me end this the only way I can."

"Sorry kid, your brother will have my head if I do that."

"Bobby…."

"Sorry Sammy."

Dean looked over at Sam and smiled.

"Looks like you're out voted Sam."

Sam shook his head sadly knowing it was useless to argue with them, he then walked back over and sat on the bed.

The following night

"This is it Dean, once we do this there's no backing out." Bobby walked over to Dean.

"I know Bobby…but its Sam's only hope."

"Then let's get it over with."

Sam was sitting on the edge of the bed when they walked into the room. The full moon hadn't risen yet but already he was wincing from pain as the virus became active in his body. He looked up at Dean his body trembling and covered in sweat.

"Please Dean don't do this….please."

"It's going to be alright Sammy. Just relax."

"No please….. please…." Sam moaned then put his head down and pressed the palm of his hands against his temples. "Dean!" He screamed as an agonizing pain shot through his head.

Dean started to reach out to his brother when he heard his painful cry but Bobby pulled him back.

"It's now or never Dean." Bobby said as he grabbed Sam and threw him back on the bed. Before Sam could react he chained each of his hands to a bed post and at the same time Dean quickly chained his feet to the bottom bed posts. At the moment Sam was in too much pain to fight them but as the pain eased up he struggled against the chains.

"Let me go!" He screamed as his eyes turned a darkish yellow and foam dripped from the corner of his mouth. "Oh God Dean it hurts!" He cried out in agony as he threw his head back on the pillow.

Dean stood next to the bed his eyes filled with tears.

"I'm sorry Sammy. I'm sorry." He said softly. It was ripping him apart to see his brother in this much pain and not being able to do anything to help him. He looked over at Bobby. "Let's get it over with."

Bobby took a syringe out of his pocket and walked over to Sam, he then ripped open Sam's shirt sleeve and looked over at Dean.

"You sure about this?"

"Just do it Bobby."

Dean held Sam's arm down while Bobby plunged the needle into his vein and withdrew a tube of blood. Sam fought him all the way but the chains held and there was little he could do. Bobby then turned to Dean who held his arm out to him.

"Nooooo!" Sam screamed as his body arched up on the bed. He wasn't completely under the virus's effect yet and still knew what was happening.

"Do it Bobby." Dean said when Bobby hesitated.

Bobby took hold of Dean's arm and injected his brother's blood into his system.
