The Fight

"Where the hell were you and what happen'd to your hand?" Dean scowled.

"Nothing… it's just a cut…" Ryan shrugged. He felt pretty tired… adrenaline rush' over, he thought to himself.

"Nothing? All that blood is nothing to you? Really, huh?" Dean's face was set but he sighed and tried to calm himself. "What's wrong with you, Ry?"

"Wrong with me?" It was Ryan's turn to get angry now and he had every reason to be so. "Are we really doing this now, Dean? Seriously, Dean?"

Dean didn't answer but a muscle went up in his face… Sam scowled … he wasn't pleased either.

"Fine… so you think something's wrong with me? Great! Well, did you think that when you ditched us on the hunt or did you think that when I was out playing alone?"

"We didn't di-"

"Don't, Sammy… don't even finish that line…"

"Ryan, it was to keep you safe… it was dangerous… Look how it hurt Dean!"

"Really, Sammy? Is everything always gonna be about keeping us safe…. Coz we're not kids anymore and we've hunted before…"

"Yeah, that turned out so well last time…"

Ryan glared but then he heaved a sigh to let go of his building anger. "Sammy, I don't wanna fight over this anymore… you did what you thought was right… we didn't like it… I needed some air… I went for a walk… we're all back… end of chapter. Period"

"You missed the part where you cut yourself up!"

"You're hurt too, Dean"

"This" Dean said pointing to himself, "is the handiwork of a Wendigo … what's your excuse…? Haunted dagger, maybe? What the hell is wrong with you, Ry?"

"Like I said already… Nothing … and I am not suicidal just coz u chose to left us! "

"Really… this is the third time, Ry, and it's getting to be kind of a habit…"

"I didn't cut myself up for fun, Dean… so what do you wanna me to do… see a shrink?"

"I don't think that's such a bad idea…" Sam meant every word of it,

"Really..? And what would I say… my family or whatever is left of it is a hunter's pack… we hunt down evil sons of b******! Demons, wendigos, stuff… and oh not to mention that I am on a road trip with my half-brothers … trying to find the person who fathered me… oh I totally forgot… he wants to kill me too…" Ryan was shaking now and his palm had started bleeding again…

"So this is about Dad?"

"Isn't it always…?" Ryan spat back.

"We didn't ask you to come… you should have stayed at Bobby's …" Sam wasn't backing down either. "This has nothing to do with you… we have to find Dad… you don't need to come with us."

Matt gasped and for a second Ryan's face lost all color… but Dean and Sam seemed pretty serious.

"Really…? Wow… took you long enough to say that…"

"Sam's right… this has nothing to do with guys… you should go back to Bobby's… it will be safer…"

Ryan swallowed back the hurt and the words. Matt started to protest but then shut his mouth… Sam brought out the first-aid kit and started dressing Ryan's palm. Nobody said another word. Ryan didn't even protest.

"It doesn't need any stitches… but we'll have to keep an eye for infections… " He said evenly and forwarded the bottle of Tylenol. "Here"

Ryan looked at it and then shook his head… "Am good…!"

Sam frowned for a while and then just shrugged. "Fine. Suit yourself."

Ryan looked at his elder siblings once more and then at Matt and then just went back to his room. Closing the door, he sank into his bed… They would never understand… never…. But he could never forget either… never forget the look of hatred and pure venom in John's eyes….

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"You need to tell them…"

"No ways, Mom… they can't ever know…"

"But they would have to… no use running…"

"And have them look me the same way John does…? I can't have that, Mom… never…"

"But one day you'll have to… "

"Never…never ever…"

Maya sighed…she touched his cheeks lovingly… her caress, warm and soothing. "Am soo sorry you have to go through this alone…"

"It's not your fault… and if not me, then it'd have been Mattie… and I don't want this on him… not even on my enemy… nobody deserves that look from their own parent… it hurts more than anything…"

"Oh sweetheart…" Her eyes glistened. "My little king… Ryan… I wish you could have been here with me, son… and I could have taken away all your pains…"

"But you can't… coz am not supposed to set feet on the Royalian soil… they consider me a curse, don't they?"

"No… never a curse… but yes, you can't… because your destiny lies elsewhere…"

"You don't need to sugarcoat it for me, Mom… I know I bring death and destruction… so I can never come there - not with that yellow-eyed b****** out there…"

"Maybe when this is all over… you could come then…"

"Yeah, sure, why not? You're not good at the pep-talk thing you know…"

She smiled sadly… "Am so sorry, honey…"

"I know… you don't have to be… at least you love me…"

"Yes, more than my life…" Her voice washed over him like the cool waters from the streams… she kissed his forehead and he wished he could have known her before she left… he wished… he could have a happy picket-fence life like they showed on Tv… with his brothers… his mother… and Dad…

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

He woke with a sadness engulfing his heart… he didn't open his eyes… but instead, just listened to the voices of his brothers… where were they now? Oh yeah… Lake Manioc… they hadn't really spoken much after the fight …. Even Matt kept his silence… it was pretty strained in the Impala… but still he would have that any day to leaving them for safety…he almost snorted…as if safety mattered to him… he was just glad Dean hadn't dropped them off at Bobby's… but nobody spoke of that anymore….

"So what do you…?" Ryan knew Sam was scowling.

"Hmm… let's check out with the Sheriff first… then we could dig some more…people don't just drown without splashing… I mean, come on, no such thing as peaceful drowning….!" Dean was of course still his obnoxious self… though Ryan could detect the faint aura of strain in his voice.

Matt snorted… and then sort of just stopped… He felt eyes on them and then on him alone…

"You ready to open your eyes yet?" Dean asked lightly but Ryan knew the tension between them was still there.

He forced open his eyes and then shut them again… he could feel the onset of a mammoth headache. "No… I mean I feel kinda … um…lazy…"

"Yeah, blood loss kinda does that." Sam's voice was even with a faint trace of sarcasm. He got a look from Dean. "What…? You're babying him! They're grown-ups don't you remember, Dean?"

"Sammy, please…"

"Fine… and its Sam…"

"Yeah sure, Sammy" Dean could be cheeky without even trying… Matt snorted… "You want something to eat? We could drop you off at the restaurant and head to Sheriff's…"

"Am not hungry…" But his stomach protested pretty soundly. Matt and Sammy laughed and then looked away.

"Yeah… sure… now we'll drop you off and then visit the sheriff's… no more arguments…!"

Okay so may be this wasn't such a piece of art after all… I mean it could have been better…I think next chappy's again gonna continue with Dead In The Water or maybe you want me to jump to the end and move on to Bloody Mary?

Sometimes I think I could've kept it to just three… Mattie more often ends up being the sidekick… this fic is mostly about the other three Winchesters… especially Ryan… You think I should maybe kill off Mattie… I really don't wanna do that… but do tell me what you think… I'll try to put in an update by this Saturday or before… but please review… even a few lines from make my day… they mean a lot to me…

Keep smiling as always….

Till next time,

Krish
