Challenge Word: Pressure.
Word Count: 100.
A/N: Nothing much happening here; just some inner Sammy monologing. I realize this is, what? A challenge word from a couple weeks ago? I wrote it when the challenge was issued, but decided it was too early for this specific chapter. Now, however, the time has come. Delirious!Dean will meet you again in another story (probably sometime soon, knowing me). From now on, it's hurt!Dean and monster fighting.
Will we finally find out what the hell supernatural creature harpooned Dean? Will the Brothers Winchester be able to finally best their foe? Will I ever stop with the aliteration and funny words? Probably not any time soon.
Enjoy! :D
Summary: E/O Challenge: Pressure. --Sam is still waiting, and now Dean's got a fever.--
Backup
(Last night...)
Two more people were dead; the pressure was mounting. Sam could feel it pressing down on his shoulders as he slumped against the headboard. Over the past few hours, Dean's hallucinations had gotten progressively less weird, which was good. But now he was passed out on the bed next to Sam's, radiating heat, and that was bad.
He'd checked the stitches, and while the area was red, it didn't look infected. Thinking that the fever was a side-effect of the poisoned barb, he'd given Dean some Ibuprofen and let him sleep.
It was always the waiting that got to him.
