My Best Friends Brother // Supernatural

Chapter 42

I wake up, still tied to the bed, I look down at myself covered in blood. Sam and Dean and asleep on the floor, the door is wide open "are you real or in my head?" I speak up scaring them both, they stagger to their feet and race over to me, I shut my eyes for a few seconds which usually gets ride of them. I open and they're standing on either side of me again "go ahead say all the nasty shit you gotta say and let's get this over with" I say laying my head back down on the pillow "we're not a hallucination Reg, it's us" Dean says "well I've heard that story before" I reply, they don't say anything. Everything is silent

Really completely silent

"I don't hear your blood rushing" I whisper, I sit up as far as I could with the ropes in my wrists "it's quiet" I whisper, I can't help the tears that waterfall from my eyes "it's so fucking quiet" I say laying back again, I feel Dean reach for the ropes and look at him "you boys should leave me in here for a while, uh just in case" I say "the ropes" Sam points out, I pull my arms and legs breaking the ropes effortlessly. They look at me surprised "I got my mojo back" I reply with a smile, they walk out and close the door behind them but I can hear someone lingering

"Sammy?" I ask "yeah?" He asks, I walk to the door and sit down leaning against it, I hear him do the same "what do you want to know?" I ask

"When Dean and Bobby put me in there to try get rid of the demon blood I started seeing some people, people who have died already and uh I saw Dean too. Did the same happen to you?"

I lean my head against the door "yeah"

"I heard you calling my dad and uh Jess?"

"Yeah, the last ones were different. They told me to stay strong, John and Jess kept telling me to keep fighting. To hold on, for you and for Dean"

"To hold on?"

"I felt like I was dying, really dying this time"

"Oh"

"I'm sorry about the things I said, Sammy, I didn't mean any of it. I hope you know that" I say "of course I know that, you wouldn't say those things if you were sane" Sam says, I focus on the beating of his heart "what's wrong?" I ask "what happened while I was stuck in here?" I ask "we lost some people very close to us, Ellen and Jo. We had to sort some things out and uh, they sacrificed themselves" Sam says, I can hear the sadness in his voice "Sammy I'm so sorry" I say "I wish you could be out here right now" Sam admits "me too" I reply, there's a silence for a few seconds "tell me about them" I say and he does. He tells me how brave they are, how much they hated John for putting their husband/father out in a hunt that got him killed, how strong they have been, tell me about the bar they owned, I smile "they sound like real badasses these women" I say "you would've really liked them" Sam replies

"But let's face it Sammy, considering what's going on in this shit show that is earth at the moment. They're safer up there in their heaven"

"You know I never found out what caused the apocalypse, I know about Lilith. The crazy bitch who sent the hellhounds in Dean, I know about the seals she was trying to break, I know about the angels and how douchey they really are. But what actually set Lucifer free?" I ask

"I did, killing Lilith was the final seal and I never knew. Ruby was behind Lilith all along, tricked me into thinking killing her was the right thing. And now I'm trying to get clean of the demon blood"

"Wow, I'm sort of surprised Sammy. But not really, you should trust Dean'a judgements more often"

"You would've seen right through her"

"It's why I wasn't there Sammy, Azezal and Alastair brought Ash out of hell to get me away from you guys so all this bullshit could happen. They knew that if I was there it would get in between the plan, specially if I was there when Dean was about to die. One drop of my blood and he would be kicking and running again"

"So for the last four years, they did all of that for you to guide me into breaking Lucifer out?"

"Pesky little demons"

There's another pause

"I missed talking to you Reggie, i feel out of place without you"

I smile at his words

"I do too Sammy, and when I'm out of here. I'm kicking your tall perky ass for letting lucifer walk freely"

Sam let's out a laugh "Dean hasn't been the same, we had a uh prettying bad fight before I killed Lilith. And with you getting sick, I - (sighs) I don't know what to do, we need you out here with us"

"I wish I was there Sammy, I would've stayed by your side through it all you know I would"

"I'm not so sure, everything was messed up"

"Being a vampire is messed up, you stayed by my side when you found out"

"It's different, this is the apocalypse. I let the devil out of his cage"

Sam says and I can't help but laugh at this, Sam joins in "our lives are fucking ridiculous. Are you kidding me?" I say laughing harder "we have to hunt down the actual devil" Sam adds in and we can't help ourselves, I hear and smell Dean walking down the stairs "what are you freaks laughing about?" Dean asks which one spurs us on, Dean opens the little window and I jump to my feet scaring him "I'll never get used to that speed" Dean says, he puts a cup of blood through the bars and i frown "is this yours?" I ask "no" he lies "I can literally smell it, no use lying" I reply "you need to get your strength back, we had to bleed you out to get rid of the virus" Dean says, I grab the cup from him and take a sip rolling my eyes slightly at the taste "good?" Dean asks "mhm" I reply taking another sip, Deans hand falls on the latch outside "take your hand off of that latch Winchester, I've been awake for a day. You're not letting me out this easily" I say

He lifts his hand up to show me "We will let you rest" Sam says coming into view, they smile at me and I smile back finally being able to tell what's real and what isn't. I sit on the bed finishing my cup of blood, I hear some movement in the corner of the room

Ash is standing there

"Did you really think it was going to be that easy?"
