Camouflage [SPN Fanfic]

Prologue

The five stages of grief, a process nobody should have to go through. A process that either makes you stronger or tears you down. A process that has the power to kill.

Step 1. Denial

"She's not dead!"

"Sam. Sammy. Sammy!! Listen to me!! Look at me!"

"She's not dead. She can't be."

"Sammy, look at me. She's de-"

"No! Don't say that! It's not true!"

Step 2. Anger

"Sam, Sammy, just calm down."

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!"

"Woah. Relax. Just take it easy."

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

Step 3. Bargaining

"Hey Dean."

"Yeah, Sammy?

"What if mom's not dead? What if-"

"Oh Sammy."

"No! Listen to me! What if she's still alive?! What if she's hurting out there, somewhere cold and alone?!"

"Sammy, she's dead."

"But what if she's not?"

Step 4. Depression

"Sam, you gotta eat."

Silence

"Please. Just one bite."

"Don't talk to me like I'm a five year old."

"Sam, I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you not eating."

"Well, if I starve then at least I'll be reunited with mom."

"Don't say that! That's not gonna happen! I won't let it!"

Step 5. Acceptance

"She's really dead, isn't she?"

"She's really dead, Sammy."

"Can I visit her grave one last time?"

"You can visit it whenever you want."
