I appreciate the reviews, thanks.
Burial Ground
Chapter twenty
Once outside Dean checked his map and started to head in the direction of the burial ground. There was no way he was going to watch his brother die again, not if he could help it. He knew he was going to die anyway in a few months so he figured he'd just be going to Hell a few months earlier then expected, that's all. But he wasn't looking forward to it, in fact he was downright terrified of it, but if his brother would live it would be worth it.
Inside the cabin
"Dean!...Dean!..." Even in his feverish state Sam knew what was happening. His brother was going to sacrifice himself so they could live. He looked over at Mike and Andrea who stood looking out through the cracks in the shutters as Dean walked away. "You got to stop him!" Sam begged the couple. "Please…you got to stop him…"
"He's deserting us…he's leaving us here to die…." Mike said as he put his arm around Andrea.
"No….no….he's going to kill himself so you can live…." Sam tried to explain as he finally managed to pull himself up off the bed. "The curse will end with a human sacrifice ….. Please…you gotta stop him…you can't let him do this." Sam said as he made his way toward the door.
He threw the door open and leaned against the frame, too weak to walk any further.
"Dean!...Don't do it!...Please just come back…We'll figure something out….."
Dean heard his brother and turned around.
"It'll be okay Sammy just go back inside."
"No Dean please!" Sam took a few more steps but the exertion was too much for him and he collapsed on the porch.
Dean ran back to his brother and knelt down beside him.
"Sammy it's the only way." Dean tried to explain to his brother. "We're all going to die if I don't do this."
"Please Dean…please…." Sam was terrified he knew this might be the last time he saw his brother. "Just take them and leave….I'll wait here…I'll be fine…You don't have to do this…."
"Sam it's too dangerous to take them through the woods" He tried to explain. "Once it's over with…they'll be fine." He reassured his brother. "And I'm not about to take them and leave you here to die alone." His heart broke as he looked into his brother's tear filled eyes. "Sam…I'm going to be gone in a few months anyway….at least this way three people will live."
Dean helped Sam up and forced him back into the cabin. He could feel the heat radiating off of his brother's body and knew he had to get going before he got any worse. He helped Sam back to the bed then looked over at Mike. "Keep my brother here and don't let him follow me." He then looked over at Andrea. "Don't worry. Everything will be over with by morning; you'll be able to leave by then." He reassured her.
"Dean please….." Sam continued pleading with his brother as he struggled with Mike who was trying to hold him down. "Don't do this….just take them and leave….You don't have to do this…."
"Yes I do Sam…it's the only way." Dean headed toward the door and took one last glance back at his brother. "Take care Sam." He left quickly not wanting his brother to see the tears that filled his eyes. The tears weren't for him but for Sam. He knew his leaving would be hard on his brother but it had to be done, it was the only sure way to end the Indian curse. He prayed Sam would be okay without him. Maybe Sam could hook up with Bobby and they could hunt together. Sure that's what would happen….Bobby could keep an eye on his brother and keep him safe since he wouldn't be around to. He blinked back tears as he heard Sam calling for him inside the cabin.
"Noooo! Dean come back!" Sam screamed as he struggled to get up … he had to get to his brother but in his weaken state he was no match for Mike who had no trouble holding him down. "Let go of me!" He shouted as he fought with Mike. Tears ran down his face as he pleaded one last time. "Dean!...Dean please don't do this!"
