And some hurt!Sam cuz I like that.

Again pre-series. Young-ish Sam after one of his first hunts.

Don't own 'em.

Sam cracked one hot, swollen eye.

His lip stung where it was split and it hurt so much his belly flipped every time he took a deep breath.

But what really bothered him was the dogs growling and barking at each other.

Well maybe not dogs…..

"Dammit dad! I told you I had it covered. You shoulda left Sammy at the hotel."

"He did fine. Probably do better if you'd quit mother henning him to death!"

"Three broken ribs and a black eye does not equal fine!"

"Don't forget the concussion."

"Nice dad. Fucking nice."

Door slammed.

Whispered, "Sorry kiddo."
