"Maya listen to me. If you get me out of here, I'll help you, I'll protect you and keep Caius away from you." Sam said desperately. He began to move back and turned around the corner.
If only they would keep circling around each other then Sam could get to the door.
"You can't even protect yourself. How will you help me?" Maya asked. She kept licking her cracked lips like a person dying from thirst, stranded in the middle of the Sahara.
"Besides, Master Caius cannot be stopped by the likes of you. If he wants something he gets it."
Sam gulped. He knew that in his weakened state he would not be able to defend himself. On top of that even If he did make it to the door, he had no idea how to get out of this place. What if he ran into more vampires?
Suddenly Maya clutched her abdomen and bowed down. She broke into a fit of painful coughs spitting more blood onto the floor.
Now or never — Sam thought. He suddenly ran towards Maya and struck the heavy lamp on her bowed head as hard as he could. He heard a sickeningly loud cracking sound and Maya dropped to the floor. Sam let go of the lamp, no longer being able to carry the heavy thing.
Without sparing her a second glance, Sam staggered towards the door. His legs felt as if they were made of lead and it was becoming more and more difficult to walk with each step.
After what felt like eternity Sam made it to the door and clutched the frame as he waited for the dizziness to pass. Suddenly he felt a hand grab his ankle pull him backwards. He narrowly avoided his head hitting the floor by putting out his hands to catch himself.
Without looking he kicked with his other leg and heard Maya scream out. He slowly stood back up. Maya was sitting with her hand on her head. Her whole face was covered in blood that was oozing out from the gash on her head.
Sam closed his eyes as his world began to spin and when he opened them Maya was right in front of him. Her face was twisted with pain and rage under all the blood. He gasped and tried to punch her in the face but she easily caught his hand and suddenly snapped his wrist effortlessly.
Sam screamed as he felt the bone break. His vision blacked out for a second and the next thing he knew Maya had dug her fangs into his neck. The bite was sudden, vicious and agonising. Sam couldn't help the gasp of pain that escaped his lips.
Reflexively he used his uninjured hand and pulled Maya's blood matted hair forcefully, trying to get her to release him. At the same time he kneed her in the stomach.
Maya was weakened and not as resilient as Caius. She staggered back and a tremble passed through Sam's body when her fangs pulled out with a sickening pop.
Adrenaline gave Sam strength to aim a left hook at Maya which met its mark. But she seemed to be locked in a trance, she didn't try to block Sam's attack and turned her face to look at him.
Sam noticed that her eyes were no longer bloodshot but a clear blue. The black veins that had been spidering below her skin were no longer visible and it appeared as if she had regained her health in a matter of seconds.
She lifted her hands and stared at them as if she was holding handfuls of gold.
"I feel so incredible" She whispered in her thin voice.
"I can feel the power flowing through my veins."
She raised her head and looked at Sam with wide eyes full of lust. Maya smacked her lips and advanced towards Sam. Sam had already thought about his move, he dropped to the floor and using his leg, he pushed Maya's legs out from under her.
She momentarily lost her balance but quickly regained it. Sam on the other hand had reached his limit. He couldn't even stand up and his limbs were refusing to obey his command.
With a frustrated scream Maya kicked him in the chest with inhuman strength. Sam cried out as he felt some of his ribs crack. He collapsed on his side but Maya did not stop, she kept on kicking him. Sam curled in on himself trying to protect his already bruised chest but the blows kept on coming.
Finally she stopped and kneeled besides him on the floor. Sam was surprised that he was still conscious. With every breath that he took, blinding hot pain flared through his chest. The pain in his broken wrist was a dull throb compared to the hellfire in his chest. He felt Maya tilting him so that instead of being on his side he was laying on his back. His new position made breathing more difficult and painful, soon he was panting and gasping for breath.
He groaned as Maya climbed on him, straddling his thighs. She leaned and licked at the blood that was flowing from the wound on Sam's neck.
"Now I know why you're so special Sam." She said as she pulled away and looked at him with with lustful eyes.
"The last time I couldn't enjoy feeding on you because I didn't want to drink.I hated being a vampire. I didn't want to hurt people."
Sam chuckled hoarsely before saying sarcastically "I can see that. You're clearly not hurting me."
She backhanded him and that earned him a split lip. He tried to wiggle out from underneath her, weak body barely able to squirm let alone budge her. He couldn't believe that he was being pinned by a mere girl, Dean would have laughed at him. But this was no mere girl, she seemed to have gotten stronger after tasting his blood.
"Your blood changed me. It showed me my true nature."
She ripped open his plaid shirt and suddenly dug her fangs into his side. Sam cried out in shock and pain ripped through him that was like fire and acid together. He once again grabbed her black locks and tried to pull her head but he only ended up aggravating her more.
She began to scratch his body, drawing blood as she raked her blunt nails down him. Sam moaned in pain and raised his head from the floor to see four parallel bloody scratches running from his chest to his abdomen. He was seeing black specks in his vision and no matter how much he blinked they wouldn't go away.
Sam let go of her hair and his hand fell limply to the floor, too weak to continue fighting. She drew away from his side to look at him. Sam was taking deep breaths, the blood loss making him light headed.
Sam felt nauseous when he saw his blood clinging to her lips. She licked her lips slowly, face twisting in lustful pleasure. Looking at him, Maya smiled, showing off her long pointed fangs gleaming with slick red blood.
"I have never felt so overwhelmed, so good. I want more." She said and Sam closed his eyes. He couldn't look at her anymore, couldn't have her face be the last thing he saw before he died. He felt a hand lightly slapping his face.
"Sammy, open you eyes."
Maya said in a shrill thin voice that sing songed the words, mockingly using his nickname. He ignored her but his eyes did fly open as she scratched his bruised chest again. He wearily looked at her and she nodded while smiling happily. She licked her bloody finger nails.
"Thats better." She said before biting just below his collarbone. Sam gave out a weak cry and slowly his struggles became weaker and weaker. She was drawing out blood at a rapid rate. Sam could feel it as the blood was sucked out of him along with his life.
Slowly feeling left his body, he felt detached as if he was no longer connected to his surroundings. He was vaguely aware when Maya pulled her fangs out of him only to bite him somewhere else. He didn't even feel the pain this time. His body was going numb and he drifted away. He felt as if he was being enveloped under several layers of fuzziness, mind and body detaching from what was happening.

The Elder Vampire knew that something was wrong when he picked up a strong scent of Samuel's blood. He immediately sensed the strong emotions of fear and anger wafting from the scent. As he quickly made his way to Samuel's room he sent one of the vampires to fetch Seline sensing that something bad had happened to his guest and pet.
He reached the door and growled in anger and rage when he saw Maya clinging to Samuel's neck. How dare she lay her hands on what was his?
In an instant he had grabbed her and flung her across the room. Before she could even stand he plunged his hand into her chest. Her rib cage broke like a twig and he had pulled out her heart.
He turned to Samuel not even pausing to watch her lifeless body fall to the floor. The Elder Vampire had carried Samuel to the bed stepping over Tesla in his way. He could hear a steady pulse and he growled in fury as he took in the sight of his prize. The young hunter was but a mere shadow of his former self.
"Samuel" Caius asked softly when he noticed that those hazel eyes were wide open.
Samuel was staring into the air unblinkingly. His whole body was littered with bite marks. His wrist was clearly broken and his chest was also bruised in shades of blue.
He sensed a figure standing in the doorway. He didn't need to turn his head to see who it was .
"Selene, I need you to tend to him. Quickly."
The brunette approached the bed, her heels softly clicking on the floor. Like always she was dressed in shawls that covered every inch of her body. She flipped her long hair to the side and sat on the other side of the bed. She was holding a first aid kit.
Caius returned his attention to Samuel who was still staring blankly with huge glazed eyes. Caius grew concerned, for the first time in eons he was actually worried for someone's well being.
"What's wrong with him?" He demanded.
"He's in shock." Selene answered calmly.
She took out her hands from under the shawls to pick up a pillow and placed it under Samuel's legs to raise them.
"Now aren't you glad that I was a doctor when you turned me." She said as she attached the IV needle back into Sam's arm.
"Just finish your task at hand and leave." Caius said angrily. He was regretting killing Maya so swiftly. He should not have killed her, he should have kept her alive to to starve her for centuries.
He sighed and looked into Samuel's glazed eyes and noticed him flinch. He was coming out of his dazed state.
"That's it Samuel. Come back to me, you're safe now " The Elder Vampire said gently as he cupped Sam's face.
"His ribs are in a bad shape and his wrist is broken." Selene announced.
She took out a bottle of disinfectant from the kit and began to clean Sam's wounds. Caius caught her wrist before she could touch Sam.
"Just bandage his chest and plaster his wrist. Give him something to ease his pain and I'll clean him up myself." Caius said as he released her wrist.
She raised her brow superciliously for a moment before acquiescing with a nod and turning away. Caius gently lifted Sam up and made him sit upright as Selene began to treat his ribs. Sam was blinking now and looking around lazily. He groaned as Caius removed his bloody shirt that was still on him in shreds.
After Selene had wrapped up Sam's chest and plastered his wrist she replaced the IV bag with an O negative blood bag. She then injected some colourless fluids into Sam's arm who winced a little.
"For the pain." she said as she placed the empty syringe back into the kit.
"Thank you Selene." Caius said as he laid Sam back down into the bed. Sam groaned at the movement.
"Oh also, take Tesla with you as you leave and close the door behind you." Caius said casually as he looked fondly into Sam's confused dazed eyes.
He heard Selene cursing under her breath as she dragged an unconscious Tesla out the door. Finally when he heard the door close he picked up the wet cloth and began to clean the many bite wounds and the scratches with a disinfectant that Selene had left.
"What's 'appening?" Sam slurred out as his eyes darted around lazily.
The Elder Vampire found himself smiling. It was clear that Samuel was under the influence of the drugs that had been injected into him. As soon as Sam's eyes focused in on Caius he cried out and tried to scramble out of the bed and away from Caius. Caius quickly gripped the boy before he could cause anymore damage to his injuries.
"Samuel calm down." Caius said sternly. He didn't like Samuel trying to run away from him, the lack of control was frustrating and made him wonder if it would be wise to turn him.
"Leave 'e alone." Sam said as he tried to kick the Elder Vampire who did not even try to block the feeble attack.
"Samuel, if you don't calm down and let me treat you I promise I will turn you right now." Caius said sternly ,bringing his face close to the cowering man.
As soon as Sam registered those words he froze, his face a mask of fear and horror.
"That's better." Caius said as he began dabbing at the bite mark on Sam's shoulder almost lovingly.
It was using all his willpower to keep himself from drinking the sweet ambrosia that was Sam's blood himself. Even the mere scent was overwhelming. The fear and emotions that enveloped the scent were intoxicating. He felt saliva coat his tongue as he inhaled the delicious scent.
Once again he felt anger flare up in his chest at Maya, she was responsible for Samuel's weakened state and for him not being able to feed. He looked at the long parallel scratches on Sam's body and gritted his teeth.
"Your hairs like Wolverine's." Sam suddenly huffed out, letting out a small giggle. The sound pulled the Elder Vampire from his thoughts.
Confused at that statement, Caius looked at Sam's face to see him looking as dazed and loopy as ever. His eyelids were half closed. The drugs had fully kicked in.
"When will Dean come back?" He asked in a childish manner that made the Elder Vampire grin.
It seemed that the drug had quite a pleasant effect on Samuel, taking away the barriers and leaving behind a child.
"Soon, I will make sure you see your brother again. I know how much you love Dean." Caius said gently as he placed a band aid on the cleaned wound.
Samuel nodded and smiled a little, the upturned lips making the pit of Caius' stomach quiver with happiness.
Samuel seemed to be lost in thought and his smile widened a little. The Elder Vampire found himself itching with curiosity to find what thought made the young hunter so happy.
Perhaps he could try to enter Samuel's mind again. He knew that Samuel always resisted his entry and the the resistance always used up all his strength making Samuel weak.
Right now Samuel was extremely vulnerable and Caius didn't want to risk Sam. However the drugs were clearly having an effect that the Elder Vampire had never anticipated, one which loosened Sam's barriers. Could he risk it? What if Samuel tried to resist him and in his weakened state lost his sanity? Or worse, his life?
Sam giggled a little, still lost in thought. The Elder Vampire frowned when he noticed the wound on Sam's neck had started bleeding again. He picked up the cloth to clean it but immediately placed it back down.
Placing one hand lightly on Sam's chest he leaned down and slowly licked the bleeding wound, careful not to draw blood. At once the intoxicating flavour enveloped him. The blood seemed to melt on his tongue and he felt shivers of pleasure tingle up his spine. He felt Samuel tense a little underneath him. He felt the bond form between them and Sam squirmed under The Elder Vampire's grip.
"Hey get off." Sam said lazily.
Caius felt Sam's hand patting his shoulder lightly but Caius could not detect fear, only confusion in Sam's emotion. He continued to lick Samuel's tender skin and almost reflexively he began to enter Sam's mind.
For the first time he found Samuel completely defenceless. There were no barriers blocking his mind. Samuel's memories were like an open book. Slowly he let himself drown in Samuel's thoughts. He knew that as long as Samuel was not fighting the mind meld, it would not drastically affect him, it may weaken Sam a little more though. He slowly sieved through Sam's mind and found Samuel thinking about a memory. Feelings of warmth and happiness flooded through him. He found his dead heart beating again.
He saw a kitchen, sunlight was streaming through the windows bathing the old kitchen in light. A frying pan was smoking on the stove and a burning smell lingered in the air. In the centre of the kitchen was a round table.
He noticed a five year old Samuel sitting on a chair with his elbows on the table. He was clad in pajamas and a soft t-shirt. His short legs were hanging above the floor and he was swinging them back and forth. He blew his bangs out of his eyes and huffed out a long frustrated sigh.
"Dean!" he shouted. "Your eggs are burning!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming." A voice came from the living room and a boy with short brown hair, also dressed in pajamas, came running into the kitchen.
"Dammit!" He cursed and quickly turned off the stove.
"Why didn't you turn off the stove, Sammy?" Dean asked angrily as he scraped off the eggs onto a plate.
Sam shrugged and made a face when Dean placed the burnt eggs in front of him. Dean took the slice of bread out out of the toaster that was now cold and placed it on the plate.
"I'm not eating that." Sam said shaking his head and pushing the plate away.
Dean rolled his eyes and pushed the plate back.
"Come on Sammy. That was the last egg and it's not that burnt."
Sam shook his head as he poked the egg with a fork. He stuck out his tongue.
"Ugh, it's gross."
"No Sammy its yummy." Dean said as he took a bite and smiled. "See? Yum."
Sam frowned and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He pouted at Dean. Dean sighed as he picked up the fork and held it at Sam's mouth who turned his head away.
"Sammy don't be like that."
Sam shook his head again.
"Okay, if you finish this egg I'll give you the prize that I found in the cereal box. Remember, it was my turn to check and I found the prize."
Sam narrowed his eyes and stuck his finger on his chin. He slowly nodded and opened his mouth. Dean stuck the fork into his mouth and Sam ate the egg.
"Hmm, it is a little yum." Sam said with his mouth full. Dean grinned at him.
"Told ya so. See, big brother's always right." Dean said as he poked a thumb in his puffed out chest.
"When's dad coming back?" Sam asked as he ate his last bite.
"Tomorrow maybe."
"Maybe?" Sam asked cocking his head to the side. His soft brown curls lightly danced on his head, sunlight reflecting off of them at the movement.
"That's what you said last time and dad didn't come for a week."
"I don't know Sam, Okay. I only know what dad tells me." Dean said angrily and Sam immediately quieted down. He looked down at his lap where his hands were clasped.
"Hey Sammy." Dean said as a mischievous grin played on his lips. He raised his hands and began advancing towards Sam.
"Run! The tickle monster is coming to get you!"
Sam gave out a tiny scream and slid off the chair with a giggle. Dean quickly picked him up and pinned him to the floor. He then began to tickle Sam on the stomach both of them laughing all the while. Sam was kicking in the air as he squealed with an explosive eruption of pent-up laughter.
The Elder Vampire felt disappointed as the memory ended, he had been enjoying himself. In other humans he had never seen so much depth and detail of even a single memory. He always got vague images. He found himself wanting more.
Suddenly he felt pain erupt through his body. He quickly pulled himself out of Sam's mind and at the same time he pulled away from Sam's neck. He realised with a jolt that he had actually bitten into the neck and had been drawing blood. Like a pathetic newly turned fledgling he had lost control. Samuel looked deathly pale and was unmoving.
He could hear a faint irregular pulse and pinched the wound to stop the bleeding. His head was not clear and he was feeling flustered at being in contact with Samuel for so long. At the same time he was feeling happiness, exhilaration, and intoxicating felicity.
He felt another sharp pain in his back. He quickly turned to see a man standing in the room with a gun in his hand. The Elder Vampire had been in Sam's mind many times that he had got faint glimpses of this man.
This man was Dean Winchester and unlike the innocent boy that he had seen in Samuel's memory this man was anything but innocent. He was intimidating with a feral look of rage in his eyes.
"Get the hell away from my brother you son of a bitch." he hissed and the Elder Vampire couldn't help but admire that fierce protectiveness. Too bad he wouldn't be alive for long.
