Hunter's blood

Chapter seven

The werewolf hadn't eaten in days so upon seeing a free meal, he jumped off his pedestal and stood on his hind legs. Dean tried his best to not show his fear but the massive wolf howled and snapped at him with his large jaws. He barely missed losing a limb by a few inches, Dean took out his gun to kill the creature but it wasn't easy. The werewolf knocked the gun out of his hand and scratched Dean on the leg drawing blood, just seconds before the creature could bite his head off. Dean did a somersault to grab his gun and shot down the large creature with two silver bullets. It dropped dead and left its blood everywhere making it get onto Dean's shoes.

"Man these are my best shoes," he complained and for a few minutes he sat down to rest. His leg injury would make this task a lot harder and other creatures besides monsters would come after him once they smelled the blood. But he fought through all the pain since he was doing this all for his Sammy. It was pure agony trying to receive the page on the wall with his injury but he grabbed it. Once he got to the next page, it was getting easier for him, he was able to get through the other challenges, and by the time he got to the last one, he was ready to take on whatever would happen next. Dean saw the last page on a tower and as he was about someone had grabbed his arm and shoved him onto the ground. "What the hell?!" Dean exclaimed at the same time, a figure came out from the darkness.

"Can't let you touch that," The figure responded. He kicked Dean so that he would have a harder time getting up. "We must protect it," Dean saw what the guy had been wearing and it looked exactly like what he was currently wearing only covered in blood.

"Who the fuck are you?" Dean said as he forced himself onto his feet.

"Isn't it obvious?" The figure asked, taking a blade from his belt. He suddenly realized what was happening once he saw the white mask on the belt as well, he was facing himself. "I'm a proxy," he threw knife after knife at Dean trying to end his life. But the hunter managed to avoid them all, proxy Dean huffed in disappointment. "So you're going to make this harder aren't you," While throwing the knife didn't help the proxy attacked Dean, it struck at him but Dean dodged. "You'll never save your sister!" it exclaimed, kicking Dean into a nearby tree. Dean ran for the page but the proxy grabbed his arm and kicked Dean onto the ground. Dean fell back as it started to kick him in the stomach.

Dean flinched while the air was knocked out of him, however, he wasn't going to give up, Dean used his feet and tripped the proxy onto its back. Now able to get up, he tried once again only for him to feel a blade pierce his skin. Dean cried out as he saw the proxy stand up, and pin him against the tower. "You're never going to get her back, can't you see that?" it said. "Even you know that you won't be on time, everyone around you has always doubted you," it continued. "Your parents, even your surrogate father," the proxy made its point by punching Dean in the face causing his lip to bleed but keeping him pinned to the tower. "Everyone believed that you were crazy, you feel alone, isn't that what you are afraid of? Being alone?"

"Shut up!" Dean yelled in anger and broke free. "You know nothing about me! My family, my sister! Everyone I care about, you don't know anything about them! And you don't know anything about me! I will free my sister and I will defeat Slenderman so go cry to your boss that you've failed, oh wait I won't give you that chance," Dean pulled out a dagger that was embedded in the dirt and ran at the proxy before stabbing it in the stomach. "Nothing will stand in my way, not you, not that asshole, no one!" Dean removed the dagger after he had killed the proxy and grabbed the last page. After the fight that he had gone through and everything that had happened, Dean's vision had started wavering, it seemed like the entire forest was spinning and he couldn't take it. Dean collapsed on the ground exhausted and unconscious.

Sam had followed him carefully and closely under orders of her master, but seeing him now she almost felt something that she hadn't felt in a long time. She felt sympathy for him, he was fighting so hard and no matter what happened he kept going. Something about him kept drawing her to him and it wasn't just the order to kill him, she knew him from somewhere. Briefly forgetting her emotions she dragged the unconscious Dean to Slenderman's castle and had him handcuffed. Her master had wanted to speak with him before throwing him into the empty room where he would starve.

"Dean," She whispered softly to herself before leaving him inside the throne room. The other proxies began whispering about her again saying that she had developed some kind of crush on the guy. "Shut your mouths all of you!" She screamed. "You know nothing," Sam stormed off to settle the pounding in her head. "What is this?" She asked. While Samantha tried to figure things out, Dean woke up in Slenderman's throne room. The place looked surprisingly regal for a monster like Slenderman.

"Well look who finally decided to wake up," Dean heard a voice say.

"You!" Dean exclaimed, trying to get up. "What is that? What have you done with Sammy!?" He demanded. Slenderman laughed at him since Dean couldn't get up and looked like he was going to cry. Slenderman had ordered his proxies to grab Dean and force him onto his feet. They held onto his arms tightly so that he wouldn't be able to move.

"This again with that sister of yours," Slendy responded. "You should respect me more Winchester,"

"Trust me that is the last thing I will ever give you," Dean spat out. "You brainwashed all these kids and took them from their families, then you had them kill for you!" Slendy got up from his throne and walked over.

"I will give you one last chance Dean," Slendy stated. "If you join my little proxies, then maybe I'll consider letting you and your sister live," Dean could tell that the creature was lying so he spits onto the floor showing his disrespect.

"No, because I know you will warp my mind and turn me into some kind of soulless killer," Dean responded. "So eat me, oh wait you can't no mouth, " If Slenderman could frown he would have, knowing that it'll take a little convincing he decided that a few days chained in the empty room with no food might suffice.

"Fine then, if you don't want to join my proxies then I guess I'll have to do it the hard way," Slendy said. "Take him to one of the empty rooms and chain him up! Don't give him anything to eat, that is an order." The proxies nodded and despite Dean's struggles, he knew he wasn't going to be able to break free not without hurting the kids. They brought him to the empty room and chained his wrists and feet, the proxies paused and looked at Dean.

"You had your chance," Elijah said. "But I'm sure that he won't give up,"

"I'd rather die," Dean declared. "Now scram," After they finished chaining him up, the proxies walked out and closed the door behind them. Nearby Sam was watching, wondering why she suddenly felt the urge to talk with this boy, she didn't even know him or maybe she did.
