Fight, Boy, Fight

Chapter 36

Sam said" You what?"
Dean said" Just hear me out."
" I heard Cas and Crowley. When they said it would either kill me or turn me to jello, Dean. I heard enough."
" Death can put up a wall."
" A wall?"
" Yes, a wall. A wall, That basically you wouldn't remember hell."
" Really?"
" Really."
" For good? Like a cure?"
" No, it's not a cure. It- He said it could last a lifetime."
" Great. So, playing pretty fast and loose with my life here, don't you think, Dean?"
" I'm trying to save your life."
" Exactly, Dean. It's my life. It's my life, it's my soul, and it sure as hell ain't your head that's gonna explode... when this whole scheme of yours goes sideways."
Bobby said" Just curious. I presume Death's not doing this out of the goodness of his heart. So, what's your half of the deal?" Dean stayed silent, what'd he do? What'd that idiot do?!," I'm sorry, I didn't get that."
Dean said" I have to wear the ring for a day."
" Why the hell would he want you to do that?"
" Get his rocks off. I don't know. But I'm doing it." Sam walked away," Where you going?"
" Look, I hear you, all right? I get it. Just need a minute to wrap my head around it, all right?" He walked out the door, he's probably going for the ring.

We walked to Sam, he was at the spot they buried the ring,
Dean said" Looking for this?" While holding up the ring,
Sam said" Just taking a walk."
" Sam. I'm your brother. I'm not gonna let you get hurt. I know what I'm doing here."
" What if you're wrong?"
" I won't let it go wrong."
" Fine."
" Fine? So you're-"
" So I'm trusting you here. Barely."
" You sure?"
" You're the one with the compass, right? Just don't mess it up."
" I won't." Dean walked away, I gulped then ran after him, I grabbed his hand once we got away from Bobby and Sam.
I said" Don't do this."
" I have to, River."
" Do you really? What if-if Death was lying? What if Sam's soul comes back so mangled that the wall doesn't work?"
" I'm not letting anything happen to Sam, all right? Go watch him till I get back, okay? Keep an eye on him. Can I trust you with that?"
" Yeah."
" Go." I ran back towards the house, there's too many holes in this plan, one wrong move and it can all go haywire.

I ran into the house and sat on the stairs, pulling my knees up, I gulped.

I was playing with Rexxy on the stairs, I laid my head in my arms, closing my eyes, Bobby's asleep, Sam went off somewhere, I didn't ask.

I was screaming, screaming as loud as I could. My eyes rolled back as it felt like something was piercing through my skin all over. Then a bright light appeared before everything went dark again, I dropped to my knees, breathing slowly. I saw all demons thrown back, I pulled myself and took off running. I slid down another corridor and jumped onto the wall, I shimmed into a smaller space and started crawling through. I had to find a new place to hide.

I got to a big area, I peeked out, I saw a cage, surrounded by guards, I tilted my head.
I heard a voice say" Who are you?" I looked around but didn't notice anyone spotting me. I gulped, then turned around and crawled away.

I woke up to Bobby,
He yelled" River, stay inside!" Then I heard the door open and close, I gulped, then ran behind the couch, I crawled behind it and pulled my knees up. I covered my ears, breathing heavily as the ground started shaking.

The couch was moved and I was pulled up, I wrapped my arms around Dean's neck. He grabbed cuffs as we headed back downstairs, he put me down on the stairs and him and Bobby started cuffing Sam down to the bed in the panic room. Dean looked into the room,
He said" I can't keep doing this, Bobby. What, am I gonna tie him up every time he tries to kill someone? That's not gonna hold him. He's-"
Bobby said" Capable of anything."
" What am I supposed to do here?"
" I don't know." Dean looked at Sam then walked upstairs.

Dean ran down the stairs,
He said" Bobby! Open the door."
Bobby said" What happened?"
" Now." Bobby opened the door, I ran down to them, I saw a man, he must be Death.
Sam said" Get away from me! Don't. Don't!" Death opened a bag and it was really bright, I turned my face against Dean's stomach.
Death said" Now, Sam... I'm gonna put up a barrier inside your mind."
" No, don't touch me."
" It might feel a little itchy. Do me a favor. Don't scratch the wall. Because, trust me, you're not gonna like what happens."
" Please. Don't do this. No. No. You don't know. You don't know what'll happen to me. Dean, please. No. No. No." Then Sam was screaming, I covered my ears, squeezing my eyes shut.

Behind the scenes: Season 4, Episode 4, Gassy Jared.

Jared farted!
Jensen said" Oh, my god! It's rotten eggs! Oh, god!" I started laughing," It's like sulfur!"
Jared said" I ate some sulfur for lunch." He tried to fan it away, I covered my mouth, then put on my River face.
" You sure that's him?"
" Only Jack Montgomery in town..." Jared looked back at Jensen, we all started laughing.
I said" I'mma puke, Jared!"
Jensen said" Me and you both, El."
" What crawled up you and died a week ago!" That's when I heard the crew start to laugh too,
Jared said" Dude, your farts are toxic too."
" Not this bad!"
" Maybe!" I laughed, looking at them, smiling widely.
