Dark Yearnings

Welcome Back

    Elena sat beside Dean placing a cool rag on his head and monitoring him for hours. Sam paced the room anxiously, while Katherine and Cas watched some old classic movies on the bed. Cas wasn't sure why but he really enjoyed Katherines warmth against him as they watched Casablanca. Sam opened his laptop started to type something and then slammed it shut again. He couldn't think straight all he could do was think about Dean and why he wasn't waking up yet, and what would he do if Dean woke up a vampire. Elena watched Dean sleeping hoping the cure would work. She never had the chance to test it with Damon, so there was no guarantee. She let her self wonder for a moment how Stefan and Damon were holding up since she left. She took out her cell phone and against her better judgement she dialed Stefan. It went straight to voicemail. She decided it was best not to call Damon because it'd be harder for him, Stefan was always better at letting her make her own choices. He would respect her need to leave, Damon may not be able to do the same if she didn't keep a clean break. She put her phone away and turned to Cas and Katherine.

    "Could one of you take over for a minute I need to use the little girls room?" Elena asked standing up beside the bed. Sam came over and sat beside Dean. Elena gave him a reassuring smile, and placed her hand on his shoulder for a moment and turned toward the bathroom. She spun around when she heard the sudden deep gasp. Dean sat straight up breathing deeply, and looking around in shock and confusion. Elena ran to the bed, she and Sam held Deans arms and calmed him down reminding him where they were and that it was okay. Dean leaned back on the bed and put his hand on his head. Sam stared at him concerned whether he was human or not.

    "Well Dean, how do you feel. I mean are you?"

    "Human? Yeah Sammy I am definitely human, and starving." Sam laughed and hugged his brother tightly. "Woah Sammy calm down, dude there's chicks in here." Dean joked patting his brother on the back. He turned his attention to Elena who was standing beside the bed grabbing her jacket off a chair near by. Dean reached over and grabbed her wrist. "Thank you Elena. Thank you." He stared into those deep brown eyes wanting to grab her face and kiss her. She smiled and placed her hand on his gently before pulling her wrist away.

    "Your welcome Dean. I'm glad it worked. You seem like a really nice guy. I'm glad you don't have to live with that affliction anymore." She smiled and headed toward the door. Katherine rolled her eyes, and turned off the TV. Dean jumped off the bed as Elena tried to leave.

    "Wait Elena, where are you going?"

    "Honestly I don't know, maybe Dallas. I've never been and they say everything's bigger in Texas." She winked and turned the door knob. Dean ran over to the door and pulled a card out of his pocket.

    "Here if you run into trouble give me and Sam a call. No problem too small okay." He gave her a grin. Elena took the card and smiled.

    "Okay, will do. Good luck guys, you're gonna need it having her around." Elena pointed at Katherine. She gave Dean one last smile. "Nice meeting you Dean."

    "Goodbye Elena, and thanks again. You've literally changed, no saved my life." He watched her walk away and get into the 69' blue Camaro. She waved  and drove out of the motel parking lot headed away from Mystic Falls. Dean watched until she was no longer on the horizon. She even had nice wheels he thought and smiled to himself as he closed the motel door. All eyes were on him when he turned around.

    "What?" He shrugged. Katherine rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen for some wine. Castiel looked down at his feet. Sam continued to look at concerned. "What Sammy, I know that look now spit it out."

    "I'm just worried about you keeping secrets from us Dean, you fed and. I don't know maybe it was because of the vampirism." Sam looked suspiciously at Katherine pouring her wine. While she had her back turned he pulled Dean into the adjoining room and shut the door.
