{SPN RBB} Entwined: Prologue
Prologue
Sam struggles to breathe as he slips in and out of consciousness. Dean, he thinks. He needs Dean. Dean can fix this. He can fix the crazy that's overwhelming Sam right now.
Stone number one.
Sam is aware of every throb of pain that assaults his body as he sits on the ground, head resting against the back wall. Dean says that the pain he feels now, it's different than when he was in Hell. Sam believes that. If anything, the pain he feels right now should be helping him. He digs his fingers into the healing scar on his palm. Once, twice, thrice. He digs hard enough to draw blood. This should be helping him.
Then why the fuck isn't it helping him already?
Sam fights to stay conscious. He startles as he hears a loud crash. Squinting, his heart jumps to his throat at the sight of Dean lying motionless while the creature he dreads the most slowly advances towards his big brother.
It's not real, Sam thinks. But then why isn't Dean getting up? Why is he getting hurt at all?
“No,” Sam chokes. He can't be back in the cage. Dean told him he was out. Dean would never lie to him.
Unless...
“No!” Sam says, louder. Lucifer turns, grins at Sam before finally kneeling in front of Dean, a malicious look on his face.
Sam's heart rate speeds up in fear. The only way Lucifer can hurt Dean is if he is still back in Hell, back in the cage.
“Nonono,” Sam gasps.
Black spots begin to colour his vision. Sam slumps towards the floor, vision blurring.
He can't be back. He just can't. Dean got him out. Dean wouldn't lie.
Stone number one. Dean is his stone number one.
“Dean,” Sam whispers as he feels himself starting to drift away.
