Thanks for the quick reviews! I hope to be getting more of them :)
Finally it was nighttime. Dean was able to make a fire using the nearest bushes he could find. Thankfully they still had plenty of water. Both he and Sammy made sure of that. Walking in the hot sunny desert was exhausting. Walking in it while carrying a person was almost unbarable. Dean nearly dropped Sam and pratically collapsed when he found a good spot to sleep at. He was desperate to find help, but knew there was none near by.
The entire time he carried Sammy, Sam wouldn't stop shivering. That didn't help the the worry from leaving Dean's mind. He laid Sam gently on the sand as he rolled out their sleeping bags. He put Sam in it. He also too out his brother's sweater and blanket from the large backpack. They also knew how cold it got at night in the desert. He opened Sam's shirt first, though, before putting them on him his body. Dean cursed as he thought the wound looked bigger. What the hell? How was that possible? He got out the first aid kit from Sam's backpack and cleaned the wounds the best he could before closing the shirt again and wrapping Sam's body with a sweater and a heavy blanket. Sam still shivered so Dean parted with his own sweater. He needed to keep the blanket with the sleeping bag, though. He had to have something for the cold, right? Though the more Sammy shivered the more Dean wanted to part with his blanket and deal with the cold quietly. And finally that's what he did. He couldn't stand it any longer. He wrapped the second blanket around his baby brother's body. Only than did the shivering get slower. It was still there, but not as bad as it was a while ago.
Dean also moved Sam closer to the fire as he sat next to it while leafing through their father's journal. He had hoped that John had drawn, or written, something about that demonic like snake that had attacked Sammy. But so far, no such luck. The bullets were proof to Dean that it was not a normal rattlesnake. It would have killed a normal animal, a shot in the head. But the bullets would only temporarily scar a demon. So far, he found nothing though. Leaving him even more helpless on how to heal his brother. On how to save him, because there was no way that he was about to watch Sammy die like this.
Sam was drifting in and out of blackness. The cold wouldn't stop coming. It was almost unbarable for him. He recoginzed how hard his brother was trying to keep him warm, even sacrficing his own blanket, but the cold still wouldn't die. And yet, his head felt like he was on fire. The fire next to him did not help his hullicinations. It made everything hazy and surreal. Dreamlike, almost.
He finally closed his eyes, still shivering though. In his dreams he was unsure of what he saw. He saw demonic like figures. Ugly and menancing. Powerful and dangerous. All in control. All tormenting him. All laughing, pointing, jeering.
Sam felt surrounded by them. He struggled to breathe. He wasn't sure what that demonic thing did to him, but it was more than a bite. Was it giving him these nightmares? Nightmares of being tortured?
They wipped at him now, with a longish belt. It stung as it hit his wounds, creating welts around it. He screams as they continued to hit his chest, over and over. All of them laughing and jeering, until he recoginzed that one was different from the other. In the midst of all the chaos he heard his brother shouting his name. Shouting for him to wake up.
"Sam? Sammy! Wake up, Sam! Wake up damn it!" Dean bellowed, shaking his brother who was shouting and tossing in his sleep. "Wake up!" Sam woke, panting, and gasping for breath.
"It was just a dream, Sammy," Dean said in a soothing tone. "Just a dream."
"There were so many of them," Sam sobbed weakly. "So many..."
"Just a dream," Dean repeated himself. "Just a dream."
"So many...and they were hurting me..." For some reason Sam wanted to check his chest.
Quickly he tore open his shirt.
"Sammy, what are you doin-" But Dean stopped as both of them stared at Sam's chest that was now covered in welts, exactly like the ones from Sam's nightmare....
Hmmmmm...The plot thickens! You have to review to find out more! :)
