Unhealthy sense of possessiveness

by 3DBABE1999

Dean's going to make sure that the ones he loves won't be able to leave him ever again… Even if he has to put them in chains to do it… SPOILER WARNING for the Season 9 Finale (because I cannot control myself and I cannot stop writing about all of the scenarios that have been popping into my head.) Other WARNINGS inside... Rated "M" for a reason...

PREVIOUSLY…

That was okay, Dean had all the time in the world, he could wait until Sam woke up before he punished Sam for breaking the rules and this time he was going to add yet more engravings to the collar, ones that would keep Sam's thoughts and instincts from finding an escape through unconsciousness….

THREE DAYS LATER…

He looks into the glassy and unresponsive, hazel eyes of his brother and finds that as much as he like Sam like this (silent and obedient), he doesn't like the fact, that it's not Sam, not really. Because he can see it in Sam's eyes that Sam's mind has vacated the premises quite possibly days ago.

He had forgotten how fragile a human mind could be, he supposes, but that doesn't mean that he won't punish Sam for his mind finding a way to get beyond his reach, even when that beyond is apparently nothingness, considering the blank slate within his brother's mind Dean finds when he tries to use his powers to find something there, anything, any small piece of Sam, that might still be left.

Sam is gone and all that's left is a hollow husk that has a heartbeat and that can still breath on its own, but other than that, the body left behind might as well be in a vegetative state as it only responds, robotically to obey commands issued to it.

And when Dean takes a belt to the already bloody and mangled canvas of Sam's back and beats, and beats and beats, he wants to feel joy in punishing Sam, but he can't feel anything, because there's no screams, no begging, not even a flinch or a whimper from the shredded pile of flesh that was once the strong body of a strong hunter who had, had a strong mind and a strong will, to prove that he's causing any kind of anguish or pain.

Beating Sam has lost all its pleasure.

Dean thinks that maybe he made Sam learn to be too quiet, to be too obedient. Because in no longer actively seeking to rebel, no longer even instinctively trying to escape the pain, Sam has managed to pull off his greatest act of rebellion yet, he has managed to escape to a place where no pain can reach him, he has managed to abandon Dean, yet again, and this time, Dean knows he'll never get Sam back. And now all he's left with is an empty shell that has no mind of its own, that has no traces of his brother left within it.
