Adam made his way through the dark passage, hand feeling along the wall, which quickly led to the sewer tunnels. Swallowing hard, he tried to forget what he'd seen back in the room, tried to focus on just getting away from the room and the monsters that would no doubt be back shortly.

It was almost pitch black in the tunnel except for the small pockets of dull orange light that came in through the small grills that led up to the surface. Using his hand, he slid it along the wall, guiding him through the tunnels.

He and his friends would play in here all the time, using their flash lights to guide them, although they had never been in as deep as Adam now found himself. He continued walking, following the twists and turns for a long time, part of him wondering if he would ever make his way out, or whether he would find himself lost forever, either dying or having to live off what he found in the sewers.

The thought was cut off as he heard a noise, the sound of people walking reaching his ears a few seconds before he saw the flash of light. Adam felt himself freeze, his whole body locking up as he strained his eyes to actually see something.

The light was moving towards him and Adam could hear the two sets of footsteps growing closer. Something in him told him that this wasn't his dad or Dean, the sense that danger was close running through him. He moved slowly backwards, back the way he had come from, remembering a section where the wall he had been following had disappeared for a moment, clearly another tunnel.

He couldn't help but wince as his foot made something crunch on the floor, his ears straining to hear if the other people had heard him, but their steps didn't seem to stop, the light coming closer.

Trailing his hand along the grimy wall, Adam started to think of what else he could do, sure that the section that led to the other tunnel was obviously further back than he had thought and he wouldn't make it there in time. Then his hand only met air, the wall falling away into nothing.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Adam quickly moved into the tunnel, not moving too far away from the entrance, planning to slip out once the people had moved past.

It didn't take long for the light to shine past the tunnel Adam was hiding in, the griminess coming into focus. Trying to flatten himself as much against the wall as he could, he scuffled back a bit so that the light wouldn't show him to the people.

Watching the entrance, he felt his breath freeze in his lungs as he saw his mom, an ache starting in his chest, his eyes stinging as he looked away. He squeezed his eyes tightly shut as he tried to push the emotions to the back of his mind, to focus.

He needed to focus, to remember that he couldn't fall apart now. Even with the thought running through his head, he felt tears slip out behind his eyes, his throat hurting as he tried to swallow.

It took him a long time to settle himself, to stop the silent heaving of his chest, the tears that were streaming down his face slowing as he took a deep, shuddering breath.

By the time he had himself under control, he couldn't hear the footsteps anymore, the light having disappeared. Moving quietly towards the entrance, he stopped at the entrance, looking the way the people would've disappeared before slowly making his way in the direction he had been going before.

There was no warning as he was grabbed from behind, a yell leaving him as he was lifted from his feet, tight, almost painful arms holding him up.

"Hello, Adam."

Adam couldn't help the fear and terror that ran through him as he looked at the monster that was wearing his mother's face, the flash lights the two were holding turned back on. He couldn't help the few tears that fell from his eyes, as the pain at his loss hit him again.

"Oh, are you crying, sweetheart?" monster mom said, looking concerned before it morphed into an ugly smirk. "Did you find your mommy back there?"

Adam tried to pull his head away as the woman reached out and stroked his cheek, before gripping his chin.

"Told you we should've just eaten him," the man holding him said, giving a painful squeeze of his arm.

"We will," monster mom replied, grinning up at the man. "Just as soon as Winchester gets here."

Her grin froze on her face, Adam watching in shock as her head tilted to one side, before her whole body collapsed. Dean appeared from behind the woman, a furious look on his face, as he stared at the man holding Adam.

"Let him go," Dean said, his voice low, Adam able to hear the fury in it.

"I don't think so, Winchester," the man said, squeezing even tighter.

"Let him go."

The gruff voice hadn't come from Dean, but rather from behind them, Adam recognizing the dangerous tone in his dad's voice. The man holding him tensed, Adam finding it hard to breath, his vision darkening as he tried to loosen the man's hold.

"I wouldn't do anything, Winchester," the man said, relaxing a little.

"Oh, and why's that?" John asked.

"It would only take one little move from me and your boy would be crushed," the man said, smirk clear in his voice. As if wanting to prove his point, the man squeezed even tighter, Adam unable to stop the small groan that left him as he felt his ribs scream out in protest.

The blackness was creeping into his vision again, Adam wondering if the flash lights were cutting out, as his head felt lighter.

Before it cut out completely he saw anger and fear cross Dean's face, before the pain blissfully disappeared, the darkness swallowing him.

Dean sat outside the motel, sitting on the hood of the Impala as he stared down at his phone.

He could still feel the panic and fear lingering, as he remembered seeing Adam in the monster's grasp, the little boy looking at him with wide eyes before he'd passed out, the ghoul clearly having been holding onto him far too tight for too long.

Adam's slumping weight had been all the sign their father had needed, John chopping the head off the man, as Dean rushed forward and grabbed Adam from the monsters grasp. He was still worried about his little brother, the sight of the bruises over the boy's chest making him want to hit something, and he wished he could take back the images of his dead mother the boy had.

He had found Kate when he had gone to make sure that there weren't any more ghouls sneaking around. When he'd found the ghouls lair, he couldn't fail to notice the open coffin, his heart squeezing as he saw the woman that was his brother's mother dead.

He was supposed to protect his little brothers, and just like with Sam, he had failed.

Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair, knowing his father was inside the motel taking care of Adam. And even though he felt he should be in there, there was something he had to do first.

Dialling the number, he put the phone up to his ear, listening to the ringing, closing his eyes as it continued, no one picking up. It still hurt that Sam was able to ignore him so completely, didn't care enough to at least pick up the phone and tell him he was alright.

Part of him wanted to hang up, not to leave a message, but he had to at least make an attempt to tell Sammy about Adam. He knew that his brother had always wished for another sibling, someone younger than him that he could help like Dean had helped him.

"Hi, this is Sam, I can't come to the phone right now but please leave a message after the beep. Beep."

"Hi, Sammy, it's uh, it's Dean. There's something I need to talk to you about. So, um, call me, please. It's important … Bye."

Hanging up the phone, he sighed as he ran a hand over his face. Staying on the car for a few more seconds, he let the cool night air ease the tension in his shoulders, before making his way inside, to the little brother that needed him now.
