Hell-bound | Sam Winchester

Ch.12

We reached the soda machine just down the walkway from the room and I grabbed a Diet Coke from the bottom after punching in my order and money. I turn around to see Sam looking into the distance of the parking lot. "Sam" I say quietly. "Mhm" he replies, as we slowly starting walking towards the room, his eyes darting around the car park. He began worrying me so I tried to rush him to our room. I put the key in the door while he faced away, still looking round.

We both rush into the room and he closes the door tightly behind him. He let out a sigh of relief, "did you think you saw something?" I asked, opening my can of soda and walking towards the bed area. "I don't know..." He started. I felt an arm go around my throat and I got pulled back, screaming in the process. "Sam!" I yelled, struggling to breathe. I gripped the mans arm as he continued to choke me. Sam began rushing over before another man popped out from the other side of the wall, hitting Sam hard in the head with a heavy telephone, which caused Sam to get knocked out. "What the fuck.... no!" I say, panting. "You're pretty" The same man who just knocked Sam out said, before lifting up the same heavy object. Then everything ached.

I felt myself being lifted from the car, but I was unable to open my eyes. I felt awful. I was sat down onto a chair and my wrists and feet were bound by something that resembled rope. My eyes began opening but it... was still dark?

Soon enough I heard Sam struggling and ruffling of feet. "Wait! Step back, Eli" A woman's voice boomed. Not too long after I heard Sam groan, "Is she OK?!". "She's fine" The woman replied and ripped a bag off my head. My eyes squinted slightly to the light in the room. She pulled off my gag as well and I exhale loudly. "AJ, tell me your OK?"Sam asks, leaning slightly towards me and struggling slightly with the rope around him. I nod, "Yeah" I manage to reply quietly. "My name's Lenore. I'm not going to hurt you. We just need to talk" The woman interrupted. "Talk? Yeah, OK, but I might have a tough time paying attention to much besides Eli's teeth" Sam said, looking over to the man in the corner. The bartender from earlier? What is going on. "He won't hurt you either. You have my word" she replied rather calmly. "Your word? Oh yeah, great, thanks. Listen lady, no offence but you're not the first vampire I've met" Sam said as I shook my head, what even was my life. I felt a liquid run down my head as Sam and Lenore carried on talking. It past my eye and made its way down my cheek before dropping onto my white top. I looked down to see a red substance now on my t-shirt, with continuous drips landing on it. "Oh god" I say just as I felt myself go limp and I blacked out again.

"AJ" I heard Sam's voice yell. "AJ Wake up, were going back". My eyes fluttered open again. "Wha...What?" I say weakly, looking over at Sam. "You passed out OK, Lenore is letting us go" He said, Lenore was smiling over in the corner. "Why?" I ask, becoming more aware of the situation again. "They're wanting to prove that they aren't hurting anyone" Sam said as a few men rushed in and dragged us both to the car, the sacks back on our heads. 

Not too long later the car came to a stop. "The motels only a bit further down that road" a man said, chucking us both out of the car and untying our hands and feet. "Thanks" I squeak as he rips off the bags and gets back into the car. They drive off and I let out a sigh of relief before wrapping my arms around Sam's neck. He hesitated for a minute before wrapping his arms around the small of my back. "Well... That was terrifying" I say as we pull away, still feeling rather faint. "I know I'm sorry. I should have done better" Sam says. "Don't be stupid.." I begin as Sam interrupts me "I let you down". "No, you didn't" I reply. He sighed loudly and looked down at me, his tall height seeming even more prominent in the darkly lit road. "You still feeling like your going to pass out?" Sam asks, I shrug. Sam turns around "Jump on" he prompts. "What?" I ask, slightly giggling, although I began to notice I felt like I was spinning. "Come on, I'm giving you a piggy back ride" He said. I shrugged and jumped up, landing safely on his back. I leant my head in the crook of his neck while he walked quickly. "I kind of understand what you were saying when you said that I'm one of Bobby's weaknesses..." I breathed, "You boys are having to look after me, which means that I'm a weakness to you guys right now. You don't want to let him down. And that's why what happened tonight, happened. Because you were trying to protect me. So thank you, for that. But we need to work on me protecting myself". Sam nodded in agreement. 

We make the rest of the trip back and Sam drops me at the front door. I leant against the wall next to the door as Sam dipped his head in. "Where you been?" Dean asks. "and where is AJ?" Dean's voice became louder at the last question. "Can I talk to you alone?" Sam prompts, I grabbed on to his arm and squeezed, an awful headache had taken over my head, probably from the hit earlier on. Sam moved next to me and held me up as my head limply fell onto him. "Whoa whoa, what happened to AJ is she OK?" Dean said, rushing to my side. "I'm fine" I groan as we walk further down the walkway, me putting almost all of my weight on Sam. "Dean, maybe we've got to rethink this hunt" Sam stated. "What are you talking about? Where were you?" Dean asks, sounding concerned. "In the nest" Sam replied. "You found it?". "They found us, Dean" I say, making an entrance to the conversation. "How'd you get out? How many'd you kill?" Dean asks, looking from one of us, to the other. "None" Sam said bluntly. "Well Sam, they didn't just let you go" Dean said, seeming pissed off. "Yes they did, without a scratch on me" Sam replied. "Well what happened to AJ then?" Dean said. "When they jumped us, they whacked us with a hard object, they probably hit her too hard and when she came to, she began bleeding and she passed out. That's why she's a bit all over right now" Sam explained. "I hate blood, especially my own" I add. "But she was bleeding, in front of all of them. And they never touched her, not once" Sam pleaded. I need to lay down, my head was spinning. All I needed was a quick nap.
