Trapped

Chapter four

Later

Two hours later all three of the men returned to the room.

"Did you miss us?" Keith said smiling as he held up a whip.

"Yeah I was just saying to my brother 'God I miss those boys.' Dean said trying to keep his eyes off the whip. He knew they both had been through pain before and could handle it. But he knew seeing them hurt his brother was the only way they could get to him and he realized that they knew that too. He also knew his brother was as protective of him as he was of Sam. He caught Sam's eye and gave him a reassuring smile. Sam gave him a small nod in return; both determined not to say anything.

"Okay, I'm only going to ask you this once. Which one of you has the power?"

"I don't know if you can't hear or are just plain stupid but we already told you neither of us has any powers." Dean said once more trying to keep Keith's attention on him and away from Sam.

Keith walked over to Dean and looked directly into his eyes. He then smiled and looked over at Jerry and Rick whose only purpose seemed to be to take Keith's orders.

Keith nodded toward Sam.

"Take his shirt off." He looked back at Dean and smiled. He knew torturing his little brother would hurt Dean far worse then having the pain inflicted on himself. Dean tried his best to hide the worry and fear from his face but Keith saw through the charade and grinned. "I'm going to make your baby brother scream."

Jerry and Rick walked over to Sam and grabbed his shirt by its collar and pulled ripping it off his back. Sam gave a little hiss of pain when they bumped against the wound Keith had already inflicted. He took a couple of deep breaths trying to prepare himself for the pain to come.

Keith walked behind Sam then without warning flicked the whip and ripped a long strip of flesh from Sam's back. Sam cried out from the sudden pain then clenched his teeth and shut his eyes as lash after lash rained down on his back. He was determined not to give them the satisfaction of seeing how much pain they were inflicting on him. Dean looked down not wanting to watch, but his body visibly flinched each time he heard the whip hit his brother's back. Keith finally stopped, leaving twelve long bleeding slashes across Sam's back. Dean glanced over at Sam and could tell his brother was trying to hide his pain from him and from Keith. He then glared at Keith and swore to himself that he would kill him for hurting his brother.

"How would you like some of what your brother just got?" Keith asked Dean as he walked over to him with a mocking smile on his face.

Dean didn't say anything as Jerry and Rick also stripped him of his shirt, then braced himself as the whip ripped the flesh from his back. He glanced over at Sam who had tears in his eyes as he watched his brother being beaten and could tell he was about to say something but Dean gave his head a little shake warning him not to talk.

When Keith was done with Dean he did something Dean had been dreading from the beginning. He walked back over to Sam and released him from his chains. Sam fell to the ground then painfully stood up and glanced over at Dean wondering what was going to happen.

"What are you doing?" Dean's heart pounded in his chest as he wondered what they were going to do to his brother.

"Just separating you two for a little bit." Keith gave Dean a wink. "Going to try a little psychological warfare. I'm thinking one of you guys will break wondering what we're doing to his brother in the next room."

"You son of a bitch! I swear we're going to get out of this and I'm going to kill you!" Dean looked over at Jerry and Rick. "All of you!"

"All we want is the one that has the powers. You tell us that and the beatings stop."

Dean only glared at him as Jerry and Rick began leading Sam out of the room. But just as they got to the door Sam suddenly broke free and began fighting them. The drugs he had been given made him weak but he knew it might be their only chance to get free. He spun around and kicked Keith in the stomach then grabbed the key from his pocket and tossed it to Dean's cuffed hands; he managed to catch it and immediately began working on his cuffs.

"Sam behind you!" Dean shouted a warning but was too late. Jerry had come up behind Sam and punched him hard in his kidney; he went down to one knee grimacing in pain. He tried to get back up but Keith had recovered and swung his gun connecting with the side of Sam's head. He collapsed and didn't get up as blood began pooling around his head.

"Get him out of here!" Keith shouted to Rick as he grabbed the key out of Dean's hand.

Rick and Jerry grabbed Sam's arms and pulled him out of the room.

Keith looked over at Dean.

"Your brother is going to pay for this." He said rubbing his stomach where Sam had kicked him. He then followed Rick and Jerry from the room slamming the door behind them.

Dean had already opened his cuffs before Keith had taken the key and soon managed to free himself. He ran over to the door and pounded on it.

"Sam!" He shouted as he took the cuffs that had been around his wrists and threw them against the wall in frustration.
