Fractured

Fear of Falling

I noticed in the corner of my eye that Sam was also staying slightly under me, just in case. They know just as much as I do that I can't control when I get dizzy spells, and I know they are both worried about what could happen if I get one on the way up. I'm just thankful that it's a headache at the moment, but that also worries me because we are only halfway up.

Sam nodded up at me, his eyebrows were furrowed, worry evident on his face as he struggled to keep himself up. I nodded back at him and looked back up continuing this horrible climb.

After a little bit more of climbing my left arm started to shake, and I knew it wouldn't be long before it gave out. My muscles were in so much pain, from overworking them. I huffed out as I went to pull myself up with my left arm, and one of my feet slipped underneath me. I let out a small yelp as I gripped tightly to the bars with my hands able to stay up.

"Devyn," Dean whispered. I could hear the slight hint of fear.

I was too scared to answer, my breathing was erratic, and I was filled with panic. I almost just fell there. I would've died from this height. We are so close to the top, but I am frozen in my spot. I didn't realize how scared I was until now.

"Devyn, hey," Dean continued to try and get my attention.

I couldn't answer though, my entire body was shaking and to make things worse another headache was forming this one much more painful than the other.

"Hey," I heard from right next to me. I opened my eyes and saw Sam, His eyes held worry as he saw the state I was in. "Tell me what's wrong," he demanded.

I was still shaking and breathing heavily, it was hard to form words, "I- I can't."

I saw Sam look down at Dean then look back at me and said, "You can. I believe in you. We are almost there, okay. Just a few more pulls and we are at the top."

The pain in my head intensified and I squeezed my eyes shut, "It hurts, my- my head."

Even more worry filled his eyes as he said, "I know, Dev, I know. You gotta keep going though, okay. You can't stop."

I kept my eyes closed as I stuttered out, "My- my shoulder, I can't. It won't stop. It won't stop shaking. It hurts. It hurts." I opened my eyes and everything started to spin. I started to panic more and kept mumbling, "Sp - spinning. Everything is spinning."

Sam's eye shot down to Dean's and I knew they knew we had to hurry, but I was paralyzed. It's like I couldn't move, but the longer I stayed stationary the weaker my arms got. Sam seemed to notice this and quickly began to speak to me.

"Hey, hey. Look at me. We will do this together okay. Follow me," Sam raised his right arm and pulled, "Come on Devyn, stay with me." I looked in a deep breath and copied his movements. "Good, good. Again." Sam reached his left arm up this time and pulled himself up further. I brought my shaky, left arm up and pulled myself up. My muscles protested the entire time. I let out a small whimper as a sharp pain passed through my shoulder.

"You're doing great," Sam encouraged from right next to me, "Let's keep going."

I nodded as I continued to follow Sam's movements and before I knew it we made it to the top. I let out a sigh of relief as Sam started to pull himself up to the floor. Once he was standing up he came over to me quickly, and helped pull me up. Once I was on my feet Sam pulled me into a tight hug, and a few tears escaped my eyes.

Dean quietly pulled himself up and took my shaking figure into his arms and embraced me even tighter than Sam did. After a few seconds he released me and kissed me. I really must have freaked him out back there, but I was too busy freaking out myself to notice.

We pulled away, and I saw Meg by her altar, and she was chanting something. She pulled a bowl out and started doing something with it, and I was immediately hit with a dizzy spell, and an intense headache. I clutched my head with my right hand and grabbed Dean's arm for support with my left. I swayed a bit, and Dean wrapped an arm around my waist for support.

"Whatever she is doing, it's very po-" I was cut off as the headache intensified, and my knees buckled underneath me.

"Wow," Dean said, panicking, "Something is wrong."

Sam took out his shotgun and raised it at Meg and I said, "I think she's doing something to me."

A sharp pain spread through my entire head and I fell bringing Dean with me. I brought my hands up to my head, and yelped in pain.

"Your girl there is really smart Dean. Why don't you come out of hiding, we aren't children," Meg taunted.

"Well that didn't go as planned," Dean muttered as he continued to rub circles on my lower back.

I let out a small whimper and Dean stood us up. He snaked his hand under my jacket, and pulled a gun out pointing it at Meg, and we all stalked slowly toward her.

Meg smiled at us and looked over to Sam and said, "I am sad to say that this is gonna put quite a strain on our relationship."

"Why don't we just cut the crap and you tell us where your little Deva friend is, and stop whatever it is you're doing to Devyn, here," Dean said, sounding pissed.

"Awe, Dean what's the fun in that. The spell is still going, I just have to think about hurting your little slut, and it happens," Meg countered.

Meg looked at me, and I immediately felt dizzy, and my knees gave out on me again.

"Stop it!" Dean screamed at Meg as he stood in front of me and aimed his gun at her head.

"Where is the Deva," Sam seethed, inching his finger towards the trigger.

Meg smirked at us and said, "Around. You know a shotgun isn't gonna do any good."

"The shotgun isn't for the demon," I spat through clenched teeth.

"So who is it, huh. Who are you waiting for," Sam continued to question.

Meg sent us a menacing smile as she simply said, "You."

A shiver went down my spine as a shadow figure appeared on the wall to our left. It attacked Sam first, quickly. He was sent across the room. I jumped up before it could get to Dean, and it sliced my stomach. I let out a loud scream, and I looked down and saw four large claw-like marks across my abdomen.

I looked up and saw it fling Dean across the room knocking him unconscious. The shadow went back to Sam and Meg slowly walked up to me as I cradled my stomach.

"Oh, dear. That wasn't supposed to happen," Meg said coolly, "You weren't supposed to jump in front of Dean, that was meant for him."

"I guess your little friend was too slow," I spat.

Meg grabbed my jaw and looked me straight in the eyes, "You stupid little girl. You don't know what you have got yourself into." Her features curved into a wicked smirk and she said, "I'm just gonna have to teach you some manners."

My eyes widened in fear, not sure what was gonna happen next. Dean and Sam were both passed out, and I was too fatigued to fight Meg alone. Meg's gaze hardened as she started to mumble something in a different language. Pain instantly shot through my shoulder. I yelped in pain and stumbled backwards a little as she let go of my face. She took a step closer and my head felt like it was gonna explode. I screamed out in pain and fell to my knees. I quickly brought my hands up to my head in hopes to get rid of the pain, but it only intensified. I looked back up to Meg, and everything started to spin. Before I knew it, everything around me went black.
