Lucifer Chronicles

Free

Dean had been acting unbearably weird since he went vamp and back. He kept saying he was calling Lisa, but he was clearly lying. He was also very specific with not letting either girl be in a room alone with Sam. 

"So, uh, Sam found a new case." Erin narrowed her eyes at Dean, trying her hardest to hear who he was really on the phone with. 

Dean said goodbye and hung up his call. "Well, then, let's go." Dean gave a smile, that didn't reach his eyes. One that Erin could very clearly see was fake. 

It wasn't just Dean though, everyone was acting weird around Sam, who didn't seem to have a single clue. Everyone else noticed something was up, but no one was mentioning it. 

They discovered that five people in total had committed suicide, and they discovered why accidentally. Dean managed to get the same curse that all the others did, because he just desperately wanted the truth, and now he couldn't escape it. This lead to Erin admitting to Dean that she knew something was wrong with Sam, and Ariel avoiding her brother like her life depended on it. She was keeping far too many secrets to let any slip now. And due to Sam's current affliction the curse didn't seem to work on him, he was able to still lie to Dean. 

Or he was able to, until Dean began to threaten Sam for answers. Their hunt was abruptly ended by Sam admitting to not being able to feel anything like he should, and Dean opting to throw punches, while the girls screamed at him in the background. Their screams didn't stop him, he only stopped once Sam was unconscious on the ground and bloody. 

Under the command of Dean, the girls helped him load Sam into the car, and then back out of the car once they got to their motel.

Now in their motel room, Sam was tied to a chair in the middle of the room. 

"Call your boyfriend." Dean directed towards Ariel, without taking his eyes off of Sam. 

Ariel felt  panic bubble in her throat. She wasn't worried about Castiel not coming, no they just had a conversation about that, no she was panicking because everything was about to come out. That should have been a relief, but she knew Castiel would find out she knew, she knew somehow it'd come out that she knew and that she found out from Crowley. 

Ariel realized that Dean was now staring at her, waiting for her to do what he asked. She cleared her throat, and glanced towards Erin. "Uh, Castiel. We, uh, we kind of need you down here. It's really important." 

A couple moments of silence passed before a swish of wind was hear, announcing Castiel's presence. 

"He looks awful." Castiel told them, as he stared down at the man he considered a friend strapped to a chair, face bloody and bruised. 

"Cas?" Sam asked, slowly waking up and seeing the angel peering very closely down at his face. His brows furrowed together as he looked down, he began to thrash widely against the restraints. "Let me go!" He raised his voice. 

"Did you do this?" Castiel backed away from the thrashing, and motioned to Sam's face. 

Dean just shrugged. 

Castiel looked towards Ariel. "Has he been feverish?" 

Ariel raised her eyebrow, making a confused face. "Cas, ask him." 

"Is he speaking in tongues?" When no one answered, he turned towards Sam. "Are you speaking in tongues?" 

"No!" Sam spoke, incredulously. "Are- are you diagnosing me?!" 

"Sam, let him!" Erin scolded. "Maybe he can figure out what's wrong with you." Her voice wavered a bit at the end of her sentence, but she managed to keep the tears in, hugging her arms around herself.
