"Hey Stefan" says Dean. Stefan gets down to pay attention, too serious, trying to bring out something out of the discussion, some useful information. "Fire, Life, Ice, Balance" says Dean, it sounds like a mantra. Stefan turns back to look if someone has appeared out of the thin air! "What kind of mantra was that?" asks Stefan, when he finds no one has appeared after his spell. "We are at mission, a dead body laid in front of us; and you are chanting heaven knows what mantra. Then you humans say that we vampires are weird! Wait are you scared?" saying this Stefan keeps staring at Dean, half annoyed, half wondering - what did Dean just say? He certainly is not someone who get scared with a mere sight of a dead body and also he never jokes when he is all in business mood.
"By the way please explain what do you mean?" Stefan asks further, noticing that Dean is too much engaged in his calculation and thinking process, that he didn't reply - neither in form of some joke nor in form of a scolding, showing his anger. Bringing out a book Dean shows him the meaning of the signs. "Is this any way helpful in killing them?" asks Stefan. "Not yet, I don't think so" replies Dean.Sam and Damon build up their tent. They haven't talked to each other since the death of Aldwin.
"Hey are you okay?" Sam asks doubtedly,"Yeah in the middle of a forest, inside my little tent, sharing it with little Winchister, mobile's signal playing hide-n-seek, yes I AM OKAY!" replies Damon, his anger palpable. "I am sorry. I must leave you alone for sometime" saying this Sam raises up, careful not to disturb the tent with his height, he makes his way out , but a voice stops him "I am tired!" Sam halts his process of exiting the tent and turns back. "I know you didn't want me to kill him. I also didn't want to do that. I am not feeling very proud about it. But you not what Sam, I didn't kill him. I gave him his much deserved peace." Sam sits back to the place he was sitting before. "Hey it's okay. Trust me I understand. I am sorry I think I over-reacted" says Sam, keeping a hand on Damon's hand, feeling of appologization in his heart. "Yeah it's okay I am habitual of getting over-reactions'" Damon smiles. "Habitual?" asks Sam. "Yeah, Elena over-reacts when I fight with someone; Stefan over-reacts when I try to save him from someone; Caroline over-reacts when I extend a hand to become friends, I mean although we're friends but we lack that bond; Alaric over-reacts when I get drunk too much; Bonbon over-reacts when I try to stop her from getting herself into a mess." "Bonbon?" asks Sam "Bonnie!" as Damon takes his name, it reminds him the whole journey of Bonnie and Damon together till today. "You know there was a time when we didn't like talking to each other. We used to fight a lot. But today..." "But today she is your best friend" Sam completes it for him. Damon gives him a smile. "She is kind of a strength to me. Whenever I feel that I am the best, no one can over-come my power, I mean come on I am a Vampire! This girl Bonnie makes me to realize that although I can fight all humans but there is one human, well apart from Alaric" laughs Damon "whom I can never understand. Who will always succeed in over-powering me. And truth be told I don't mind it, I enjoy it."
"You know Sam the potential she has, the way she remains determined, the way she has always given her everything to save her friends, asking nothing in return, I don't think I have ever found someone like her or will ever find someone like her. She is the only one. She will always be the only one." Noticing the joy in Damon's voice and smile on his face, Sam feels relaxed that after a hectic day like today, atleast they are getting a peaceful moment together. Damon is certainly turning to a brother to me, thinks Sam. "Alright Sam, I'll just like to have a walk. Will meet you later" Damon smiles at Sam. "Alright" Sam smiles back.
After Damon leaves the tent Sam starts thinking about Damon. How can someone give him a tag of a mean brother'. He certainly cares for Stefan. He also loves his friends. Suddenly a thought comes to Sam's mind, why is he feeling like he is thinking about Dean instead of Damon? "Are all elder brothers like this? Or is it just me, habitual of looking at all elder brothers like I look at Dean? Why am I comparing them? Why am I trying to bring out similarities between them? Could be the reason that I can feel that somewhere deep down Stefan and Damon also share the love, the relationship that Me and Dean share. So why is it that he hesitates from showing it to him?"
May be this is not enough. He wants to talk more but he would look fool, if someone finds him talking to himself. He unzips his bag and brings out a brown coloured diary. "This is why I carry you with me, you are the only one with whom I can share all my feelings. Even if there is no one around to listen to me, I never feel alone. Tell you a secret - I enjoy being with you alone, sharing my secrets with you" saying this Sam winks at his diary, which truly seems to be his best friend and starts writing. He didn't realize it before, that he had so many things locked up in his heart. Now that he is pouring his heart's content into his diary, he feels relaxed.
He poured all his frustration of not being with Dean at the moment, into his diary. It's been so many hours that he last saw his brother, hasn't hugged him, hasn't fought with him! Oh what is he thinking about, of course he won't fight with him once they meet. He'll talk, he'll hug him, he'll scold him that he didn't try to find out a way to contact him - but of course that won't result to a fight. He keeps writing, sometimes smile brushing his lips; sometimes water gets ready to ooz out of his eyes, then he controls his feelings. Then of course Dean would also not like him crying. He would tease him, if he finds out that he got emotional like a baby, thinking about Dean.
While Sam is totally occupied with Dean's thoughts, someone pulls the diary out of his hands, he doesn't have to turn to look who it is, he gets up to catch him. But what was he thinking, he could beat a vampire' in a race? If it really was a race! "Damon give it back" Sam warns him mildly, his heartbeats thumping, clearly audible to Damon. "Why? What is it in there?" Damon teases him, still maintaining the distance from Sam, fully alert that if he gives even a slight chance, the ball could end up in Sam's court. "There is nothing in there. Just give it back" says Sam, smiling but nervous.
Looking at his expression, dodging the diary from one hand to another in a supernatural way, Damon says "Are you nervous Sam Winchester?" laughs Damon. "No I am not nervous. Just give it to me." Sam runs to catch him, but Damon succeeds to escape from him. They run after one another, sometimes it's Sam following Damon, sometimes Sam's teasing him "are you tired already?" makes him to follow Sam with a new boosted energy.
After a good run Sam succeeds in getting hold of Damon, both of them breathless. When Sam's breathing starts to follow almost a normal rate, he asks Damon "You didn't try to use your vampire power to catch me? It could have been easier for you that way." "Sam if I would have used my powers, although it would have become easier to catch you or to get away from your hold but this would have kept me from the joy, from the thrill, the extreme happiness I am feeling right now in sharing a moment like this with you." Smiling he continues "You know Stefan and me have hardly shared such moments with each other." "You miss that?" asks Sam. Thinking for sometime that does he really miss that, he accepts "Yes! I miss it. Whenever we are together we normally talk to each other as business partners. Discussing about some or the other problem; how can we save others. But amongst all these stuffs we fail to realize that like we think it's our duty, our responsibility to save our friends who are our family, we need to realize our duty, our responsibility towards each other."
This reminds Sam how Dean and Sam get together when they realize that they are drifting apart. "You know what we do, I mean me and Dean, we just take break from all the miseries prevailing in the world for some moment, and spend the time together. That's our we moment'. You guys should also try it. This will help to strengthen your bond, trust me" Sam smiles. Damon reciprocates his feelings with a smile. "Now come on let's read your diary".
They settle down inside the tent and Damon starts reading Sam's diary. Sam lays back, listening as Damon reads his diary in front of him.
