Chapter 13

 

Sam felt sick as Dean's wordless screams shifted to him screaming Sam's name, obviously pleading for help. Without even thinking about it gently lay Dawn down on the ground, stepped up to Dean and made sure Dean could see him.

 

“It's okay Dean, I'm right here. You're safe now.” Sam tried to tell him but Dean kept screaming. Sam looked to Xander who stepped up beside him.

 

“Childe!” Xander snapped and Dean shivered before falling silent.

 

“Sire please help....the soul won't listen, he just keeps screaming, I can't get through to him.” His Childe whimpered and Xander gently touched his face.

 

“It'll be alright Childe, you need to keep trying. I know you can do it. Is it safe to unchain you? Will he react violently?” Xander asked and Dean's gaze turned inward.

 

“No, I think the chains are making him worse. He....I...there were chains in Hell and they hurt.” Dean answered quietly and Sam looked at Xander who nodded. They went to work letting Dean down and then helped him over to the cot.

“He's screaming for you Sammy....he saw you but...he thought you were in his head, not real.” Dean explained and Sam nodded.

 

“You should feed Childe.” Xander whispered and Dean nodded, his features shifting and Xander offered his throat. Sam watched in awe as Dean bit into the vein and began to drink. It was kind of weird to watch but also seemed sort of natural. Dean licked his lips and then looked up at Sam curiously. Sam smiled at him and Dean grinned back. He blinked, frowning and then doubled over.

“Dean?” Sam called and he saw the change in Dean's eyes as his brother came to the front. Green eyes went wide in fear and confusion as he began to shake his head.

 

“Noo....” Dean moaned and Sam slowly reached out, he could see Xander slowly sitting up, ready to grab Dean if necessary.

 

“Dean? Can you hear me? It's Sam, you're okay now. We're at Bobby's; Dawn got you out of hell.” Sam whispered gently. Dean began panting for air, despite the fact that he didn't actually need to breath.

“No Dean, it's okay. I'm here.” Sam finally touched Dean's face, stroking the cool flesh gently and Dean began to shake slightly.

“Shh, it's okay.”

 

“Sam?” Dean whispered and Sam nodded, smiling softly. Dean looked around, eyes wide as he saw Bobby standing near the wall, holding a semi-conscious Dawn upright. But where was? Dean stiffened as cool arms wrapped around him and then relaxed as gentle lips kissed his throat.

 

“Dean.” Xander whispered in his ear and Dean collapsed back against the vampire, bloody tears falling from his eyes.

 

“Xander? Sammy?” Dean choked out and then Sam joined the embrace. Dean sobbed as he was held by the two people he loved the most, praying it wasn't some new torture but was actually real.

 

“We're here Dean, we're real.” Xander whispered, smiling at the way Dean clung to them. He knew Dean was worried it was all in his head but at least he was willing to see if they were real. Dean suddenly whimpered in fear and they both tightened their hugs.

 

“Dean?” Sam asked and Dean tried to get away from him.

 

“Sammy get away.” Dean urged and Sam felt a flash of hurt until he saw that look in Dean's eyes, he was trying to protect him. Sam sat back a little but kept his arms around Dean.

 

“Why Dean? What's wrong?” he asked softly.

 

“There' something wrong with me. I...I can hear something in me.” Dean told him fearfully and Sam smiled gently at him before looking at Xander.

 

“Dean there's nothing wrong with you.” Xander stated firmly and Dean twisted so that he could see Xander's face. Dean whimpered and Xander freed a hand to stroke his face. Dean leant into the touch of his Sire automatically, slowly relaxing.

“Do you remember what I offered before your Deal came due, if we couldn't find a way to break it?” Xander asked once Dean was calm. Dean stared at him, deep in thought and then green eyes went wide.

 

“Vampire. You turned me?”

 

“Yes. The voice you're hearing is that of the vampiric you. He's been trying to calm you down since you re-entered your body. The two of you are going to have to learn to get along but it shouldn't be too hard. He seems to have inherited your need to protect Sam and knows everyone here is off limits for blood.” Xander explained.

 

“I'm not in hell anymore?” Dean whispered and Xander shook his head, leaning in to gently kiss him. Dean accepted it and then looked at Sam fearfully. Sam just grinned at him and then pulled back from holding Dean, patting his brother's shoulder as he stood.

 

“Get the feeling you two have a lot to talk about. I'll get Dawn upstairs, make sure she's oaky. I'm glad you're back Dean.” Sam smiled at his brother and then went over to Bobby and Dawn, scooping her up and then heading upstairs. Bobby nodded at them as well.

 

“Glad you're back Dean, you're brother's been a mess the last week.” The older hunter said as he left the room. Dean watched them leave and then looked back at Xander who coaxed him into lying down on the bed. Dean found himself curling close to Xander, not something he'd usually do.

 

“It's the Sire/Childe bond Dean, you'll get used to it.” Xander told him and Dean nodded.

 

“I...I feel so different.” Dean whispered and Xander wrapped his arms around the younger vampire.

 

“I know. Going from being alive to a vampire is a big change; you'll have to be careful until you learn to manage all the changes. You're a lot faster and stronger now, plus there's the bloodlust. But you're still Dean Winchester where it counts. You also need to talk to your demon, he can help you.”

 

“Did he...I, whatever try and hurt anyone?” Dean asked and Xander shook his head.

 

“Nope. I made it clear that no one was to be fed from or turned and he accepted the reasons. I'm not only your Sire but also Master of our Line and you know that instinctively. My word is law. He even saved Sam's life.” Xander told Dean, smiling as he slowly relaxed further.

 

---------------------------------

“You okay?” Sam asked, kneeling beside the bed.

 

“Just tired, I'll be fine Sam.” Dawn answered, smiling tiredly at him. He smiled back, reaching out to take her hand.

 

“Thank you Dawn. I don't....” Sam trailed off and she sat up to place a soft kiss on his lips.

 

“You don't have to thank me Sam. I would have done it even if we weren't friends or whatever we are now.” She answered and Sam smiled, kissing her back.

“Come on, beds big enough for two and you need sleep. Xander will look after Dean.” She lifted the blankets and Sam hesitated for a second before kicking off his shoes and crawling in beside her. Dawn wrapped her arms around Sam and held him close, his head on her chest.

“It's okay Sam, he's safe now.” She whispered and then hugged him tighter as she felt tears begin to soak through her shirt.
