More Than A Petrova (SPN/TVD)

Chapter 6

NOW:

"What are you doing?" Stefan protested as he moved towards Dean and Alaric but Damon held him in his place. Damon's interference, however, didn't stop Dean from tightening his grip, causing Alaric to let out a choking sound.

The hunter grunted while ignoring Alaric's attempts at breaking free. "Saving your ass!" Dean yelled to the group, yet his eyes landed on Elena, as he applied more pressure. If things worked out accordingly, Alaric should fall unconscious in a few short moments.

"How?" Bonnie questioned firmly while forcing herself not to use her powers on Dean since he was human. If Damon had been the one in Dean's place, Bonnie would have used her powers on him immediately to set Alaric free.

"By stopping you guys from revealing the plan to the enemy." Sam stated while his gun was still trained on Alaric's body; this was to stop Alaric from making any escape attempts from Dean.

"I'm not the enemy!" Alaric managed to sputter out as he tried to get more air into his lungs. He could feel the light-headedness starting to set in for him.

Dean scoffed before he turned his head so that his lips were hovering over Alaric's ear. "If that were the case then what is my name Ric?"

The ridiculous question seemed to snap Elena out of her shocked state. "De-"

"Elena, don't." Sam interrupted before Elena could say his brother's name while keeping his attention on Alaric.

Elena quickly looked to Damon for some sign since he seemed to know the Winchesters better than her and the others and yet the look in his eyes told her not to argue with Sam. She really wanted to fight Damon on his assessment but she couldn't risk it. One wrong move could result in Alaric's death, and without his ring, it would be a permanent death for him. Then again Dean was human so the ring wouldn't have helped Alaric in this case.

So Elena watched, along with the others, as Alaric's struggles started to decrease while his breathing became more labored yet the one thing that was abundantly clear was that Alaric had no answer for Dean.

And Dean didn't like that.

"Your hesitance is my answer." Dean sneered into Alaric's ear before he tightened his grip once more.

Alaric could feel his body going limp due to the lack of oxygen entering his body. The last thing Alaric remembered before the darkness consumed him was a sneered comment from Dean about him needing a nap.

The room remained silent as they watched Alaric's eyes shut as his arms fell to his side. Dean took that as his sign to release his hold yet he only did so after getting a confirming nod from Sam that Alaric wasn't faking it. The oldest Winchester gently unwrapped himself from Alaric before he gently placed him on the ground. Once Alaric's head touched the group, Sam quickly tucked his gun back into its usual place before he moved to Alaric's side. Once Sam kneeled down beside Alaric, Dean went to retrieve their duffel bag from earlier.

"Well...I wasn't expecting that." Damon stated which broke the silence in the room.

Unfortunately the three high school students took that as a sign to start asking their questions simultaneously.

"Knock it off!" Damon yelled moments later as he looked between Stefan and the girls; the questions were getting to be too much. Thankfully, his outburst got him the silence he wanted. When it was clear that no one was going to say anything else, Damon directed their attention to the Winchester brothers. "Now pay attention. I, for one, want to know what they are testing Ric for."

Stefan and the girls looked between one another before they turned their attentions to watch the Winchester brothers at work. It was pretty obvious that no one was going to speak until it was deemed safe to do so like before.
