Hell Awaits

"Rise and shine, gorgeous!" Alastair's voice was spoken barely above a whisper into Dean's ear.

A soft groan came from Dean before his body patched itself together. The only proof of the boy's flesh being mutilated moments before was a dark scar reading "Alastair's Property" across his torso.

"Have you considered my offer yet?" Alastair's eyes shone brightly as he smiled at the man before him.

"I won't work for you." His reply was brief, monotonous, and filled with hatred.

"Fair enough." The demon turned on his heel and walked out of the dimly lit room without any further conversation.

***

Alastair walked through a narrow doorway leading to John's 'room'. "John?"

Shuffled noises sounded before he received a reply, "Come in."

Alastair entered the room slowly, surveying an assortment of weapons across John's bed. He raised his eyebrow though asked nothing about the man's display. "Are you free today?"

"I was supposed to see our latest intruder... That new hunter who stumbled upon our place... Jace? He can wait though."

Alastair nodded. "I have a new project for you."

John looked at him, waiting for more information.

"Bring your tools and creativity. Follow me." He walked out the door, not waiting for the sound of footsteps behind him.

***

John followed Alastair into one of the many dim rooms of the warehouse; the smell of sweat and blood was pungent as soon as he passed the doorway. A flicker of light made its way down through the room, revealing a young man bound by barbed wire to a cross-like structure. Thin trails of blood made their way down his body; his head was tilted towards the ground.

"Your new project." Alastair smiled cruelly, looking towards his student.

"You-" He paused trying to find words that wouldn't upset the demon before him, "Want me to torture my own son?"

Dean gazed at the two men in front of him, silently muttering curses to himself.

"Dean isn't cooperating with me. Right now you're my best student, John. You taught your boy how to manners while raising him but it seems he's forgotten his proper placement. He needs to learn to follow you again. This boy no longer has any respect."

John shook his head. "I can't"

Alastair glared daggers at him, "You can and WILL do what I say."

"No-"

"DON'T YOU DARE DISRESPECT ME!" Alastair cut off his sentence then threw John to the concrete floor violently.

John looked up the demon then glanced at his son before turning his face into a mask. "I'll get to work then."

"Good."

John faced to turn his grim looking son, stood up, then walked slowly towards a set of knives. Behind him, Alastair slipped out of the doorway and shut the door softly.

"Dad. What are you letting him do to you?" Dean looked at his father, almost pleading with his eyes.

"Alastair's right. You have become a coward. No coward is a son of mine." John looked at his oldest son disapprovingly.

Dean expression was twisted in pain. Thoughts in his mind swirled around the realization that he had let down his father… Again.

"Look at yourself. Pleading not to be hurt? Since when is pain a problem for Winchesters?" John picked up a paring knife and walked towards his son. "You've become soft since I left. It's no wonder so many people have died while under your watch."

Dean hung his head in shame. "I'm sorry."

"No you aren't. You will be by the time I'm done with you, though." John plunged the knife he was grasping deep into Dean's side, twisting it around viciously. Dean thrived in pain, violent spasms running all down his body. "If you're my son, you better live up to your name."

Dean gasped for breath as another knife was lodged into his body. It fit snugly in between two of his ribs, protruding only 2 inches from his side. "Yes… Sir."

John turned his back, deliberating on which weapon to use next.

"Excellent." Alastair whispered words to himself as he sat in darkness, watching the exchange going on before him.

Please R+R? I haven't had too much interest in the story so I haven't been very motivated to write… Please let me know if I should continue on or not!
