SoullessDean coming up, hope I write it okay. BTW I have no clue how far the town in s3 finale is from Bobby's but I'm having them get there in just under a day.

 

Chapter 11

 

Bobby ran for the house only for Sam to push the door open, an unconscious young woman in his arms. A man followed him out, carrying Dean's body with an ease that only came with supernatural strength. Bobby knew it was only Dean's body; there was simply too much blood for the boy to still be alive.

 

“Sam? What happened?” Bobby called, making the two males turn his way.

 

“Not here, there are still demons lingering. We need to get somewhere secure.” The stranger stated and Bobby stared at him suspiciously.

 

“Bobby just do it, please. We need to go.” Sam stated tiredly, shifting Dawn's weight. Bobby nodded reluctantly and headed for where they'd left the cars.

 

“You okay to drive Sam? I need to get our car too.” Xander asked and Sam nodded.

“Okay, I'll follow you guys then. Xander began to move away but Sam stepped in front of him.

 

“Dean.” Sam growled and Xander sighed.

 

“Sam I know you know what I did. It's not safe for you to take him; if he wakes....He won't be Dean until Dawn can pull his soul back. I'll be able to control him as his Sire and Master of our line which is why you're protecting Dawn for me while I take Dean.” Xander stated firmly and Sam slowly nodded. He shifted Dawn's weight to free one hand, reaching out slowly to gently touch Dean's face.

 

“You'll keep him safe?” Sam whispered and Xander smiled.

 

“With my life. Now get going, I'll follow you.” Sam nodded and headed for the Impala. Xander sighed and dug out the magical handcuffs, just in case. He cuffed Dean's hands behind his back and then secured him in the backseat. He started the engine and followed the Impala and an unfamiliar truck out of the town.

 

They drove for hours until finally crossing into South Dakota. By the time they pulled off the road and into an old salvage yard Xander was very thankful Dawn had recharged his amulet in advance and he had thrown a heavy blanket over Dean to be safe since he wasn't sure when he would become vulnerable to sunlight. He was relieved to see Dawn stagger out of the Impala under her own power although Sam was quick to support her.

 

“You okay Dawnie?” he called as he got out of his car and Dawn shushed him.

 

“Noise bad.” She grumbled and Sam actually managed a small smile.

 

“Would someone like to tell me what the hell is going on?” An angry voice demanded and they all turned to the older man.

 

“Bobby this is Xander Harris and Dawn Summers. Dawn....did something to Lilith...” He looked at Dawn who managed to grin.

 

“Just opened a dimensional rip and closed it with her partway through.” She answered and Xander winced.

 

“Ouch. This is why I avoid pissing her off Sam.” Xander commented.

 

“Dean...” Bobby trailed off and Sam looked at Xander who nodded.

 

“He'll be fine in....think a week's long enough Dawn?” He asked and she tried to think past the exhaustion.

 

“Maybe, need sleep.” She mumbled and Sam slipped an arm around her waist, earning a sleepy smile from her.

 

“Until then we need somewhere very secure to hold him.” Xander finished and Bobby glared at him.

 

“Why?”

 

“Because he's going to wake up before then and I'd rather not have to keep him from killing you.”

 

“Dean would never hurt us!” Bobby exclaimed and Xander nodded, surprising him.

 

“You're right, Dean wouldn't but it won't be Dean waking up it'll be the demonic being inside him.” Xander answered and Bobby tensed.

 

“Bobby its okay, Dean and I have known Xander and Dawn for years and yes we know Xander's a vampire. He turned Dean after the hellhounds...”

 

“Why?” Bobby demanded and Xander closed his eyes.

 

“Because the deal was ironclad, Dean had to go to hell but it never said he has to stay. With the amount of damage the hounds did the only way for him to have a body to come back to was to turn him and yes Dean knows. I asked him before Dawn and I left and he agreed if we could find no other way. Which means I need to get him somewhere secure soon and then call to have a lot of blood delivered for both of us.”

 

“A vampire! There's no way Dean would agree to this.” Bobby argued and Sam sighed.

 

“He did Bobby, he told me last night, well night before last now. I know we all desperately need sleep and Xander needs somewhere to look after Dean, I bet even a vampire would feel gross waking up covered in their own blood days later.” Sam tried to lighten the mood and Xander chuckled softly, nodding in thanks since he knew Dean hadn't told Sam.

 

“Fine. They can use the panic room; it's the most fortified room here.” Bobby grumbled and headed towards the house, not noticing Xander pause in the doorway. Sam did and realised why.

 

“Come on in Xander.” He gave the invite and the barrier dropped, letting Xander carry Dean's body inside. They followed Bobby down to the basement where he opened a heavy metal door to reveal a circular metal room. Seeing the cot Xander walked in and lowered Dean's body onto it, Sam following him nervously. It was weird to see Dean laying so still and it hurt to know what Dean had down to save him.

 

“He'll be okay Sam.” Dawn whispered, leaning heavily on him.

 

“I'll show you to a room.” Sam told her, lifting her easily and sparing one last look for Dean he quickly left the room, Bobby following after him, closing and locking the door behind him making Xander roll his eyes. He activated a small amulet he wore and settled in to wait for the blood delivery service. He'd have to ask them for a few other things too just to make the room a bit nicer.

 

--------------------------------

“Everything okay in there?” Sam called, opening the small hole in the door.

 

“Yeah. He's still out Sam so come on in.” Xander answered and Sam opened the door only to stare in shock.

“What? You wanted him waking up in such a miserable looking place?” Xander asked as Sam took in the queen sized bed and the material used to hide the metal walls. There was also a good sized fridge which Sam was positive held blood.

 

“Is he doing okay? How long till he wakes?” Sam asked nervously and Xander shrugged.

 

“That's up to him. I'd say the next ten hours, he's been starting to move a little, even took some blood so the changes are pretty much done. Sam...he'll look like Dean; even have his memories but...”

 

“But he won't be Dean. I know.” Sam whispered sadly.

 

“How's Dawn?”

 

“Still sleeping mainly.” Sam answered and Xander nodded only to spin towards the bed as a low groan was heard.

 

“Leave Sam.” He ordered and Sam rushed from the room, locking the door behind him as Xander sat on the bed, holding his Childe gently as he began to wake. He watched as Dean's features changed to their vampiric visage as Dean's eyes opened.

 

“Sire.” Dean whispered and Xander smiled.

 

“Are you hungry Childe?” He asked and Dean nodded so Xander held out a blood pack only to get a disgusted look.

“Drink. I'll take you hunting later. Besides, I think you'll like the taste.” Xander smirked and Dean obediently began to drink only to gasp in surprise.

“Told you.”

 

“What is it Sire?” Dean asked in awe of the wonderful taste.

 

“Blood of a powerful witch.” He answered and Dean frowned.

 

“Dawn?” He asked and Xander nodded. Dean chewed his lip, lost in thought.

“Sam? Is he alright?” Dean demanded and Xander had to hide his surprise at the genuine concern, then again Sam was such a large part of Dean's life maybe some of that had rubbed off on the demon.

 

“He's fine Dean, he's looking after Dawn for me.” Xander explained, watching Dean's reactions closely.

 

“I have to see him!” Dean growled and Xander let his own features shift as he growled back, making Dean shrink back slightly. Xander would not use pain or sex to force obedience like most vampires but that didn't mean he would let Dean walk over him, especially while he had no soul.

 

“You will do as you're told Childe!” Xander snapped and Dean whimpered slightly.

“If you swear you will not try to harm or bite him I will ask if he's ready to see you. Understand?” Xander commanded and Dean nodded. Xander let his features shift back and gently ran a hand through Dean's hair.

“I don't want to yell Childe but you need to do as told. None of the humans here are food.”

 

“Why?” Dean asked and Xander smiled, glad the question was only curious and not demanding.

 

“Because they are special. Such powerful witches are hard to come by and she would lose a lot of that power if she was turned. I honestly don't know if Sam can be turned successfully due to that demon that wanted him, there's something off about his blood. As for Bobby, he's more useful as an information source among the human hunters, plus he's a bit old to be turned. Understand?” Xander explained and Dean nodded.

“Good, now stay here while I talk to Sam.” Xander got off the bed and knocked on the door, making Sam open the slot.

 

“Xander?” Sam asked nervously.

 

“Dean wants to see you. He's sworn not to hurt you or try to feed from you. I'll be here too if you'd like to see him.” Xander answered and he could see Sam frown.

“Apparently some of Dean's protectiveness of you has rubbed off on his demon.” Xander whispered to keep his Childe from hearing.

“Just act like he is Dean or he could get confused and angry.” Xander finished and Sam hesitantly opened the door, stepping inside slowly. Dean sat up on the bed, his features returned to human for the moment.

 

“Dean?” Sam asked and the vampire grinned.

 

“You're okay Sam?” He asked, looking Sam over for injuries and Sam smiled slightly.

 

“Yeah, I'm okay.” Sam answered and then tensed slightly as Dean got off the bed and took a step towards him, making the vampire freeze.

 

“What's wrong? Sire explained why you're not to be turned. You have to be protected.” Dean stated, confused as to why Sam seemed so nervous, he wouldn't disobey his Sire and nothing would hurt Sam while he was around. He would prefer that Sam was a vampire too, he'd be safer that why but Sire's explanation made sense. He could sense it now, there was something already demonic about Sam's blood. Dean slowly walked over to Sam, leaning in to sniff him.

“When was the last time you had a shower?” Dean asked, wrinkling his nose in disgust.

“Dude you stink!” His comment made his Sire laugh.

 

“He doesn't to other humans Dean, you just need to adjust to your senses. Will you two be okay if I go check on Dawn? Are you still hungry Dean?”

 

“No Sire, I'll protect Sam.” Dean stated and his Sire looked at Sam who nodded hesitantly. He didn't like Sam being scared of him, it wasn't right, no other human mattered, they were all free food but Sam should not be scared. Dean reached out and placed his hand over Sam's racing heart.

“It's weird, I can hear your heart beating but mines not. You'd be safer as a vampire but Sire said it's not a good idea.” Dean stated and Sam managed a hesitant smile. Dean frowned.

“Not going to hurt you Sammy, I promised.” Dean grumbled and Sam's smile that time was sheepish.

 

“Sorry Dean, it's just...this'll take a bit of getting used to, okay?” Sam spoke softly, acting as if this was his brother as much as he could just like Xander had told him. He wondered if Dean would remember this once he had his soul back.

 

“Sure. It's not bad Sam, I feel..free, like I can do anything.” Dean grinned and Sam nodded, hiding his pain at that answer.

“Oh, forgot humans need to sit, you want to?” Dean asked and Sam nodded, taking a seat on the edge of the bed, Dean sitting beside him and grabbing his hand, studying it, fighting the urge to sink his fangs into Sam's neck, he would obey his Sire.

“You're so warm Sammy.”

 

“You're cold Dean.” Sam answered sadly and Dean shrugged.

 

“Guess it's cause I don't have a heartbeat anymore. I don't even notice. Think Sire'll take me to hunt soon? Bagged blood's okay but fresh would be better.” They looked up as Xander came back into the room, Sam hiding his relief.

 

“Not until I'm sure you have full control Childe.” Xander answered his question and Dean looked down.

“Dawn's asking for you Sam.” He offered Sam a way out and the only human present took it.

 

“Come back soon Sam!” Dean called as the door was locked and he turned to his Sire. Xander smiled at him and joined him on the bed, laying down and holding out an arm in offer. Dean cautiously approached and when his Sire made no other move he curled into his side, slowly relaxing. Somehow he knew that most new vampires were treated violently and used for sex so why wasn't his Sire doing any of that?

 

“Do you know why most vampires treat their Childer and minions the way they do?” His Sire asked almost as if he'd read Dean's mind! Dean shook his head.

“To stunt their growth they beat them down and use them for their own pleasures. I don't want to do that to you Dean. I want my Childe to be strong and smart.” Xander told him and Dean frowned as a memory came to him and he growled.

 

“You're going to do it! She's going to put that soul in me!” Dean growled and went to move away but Xander rolled, pinning Dean beneath him, using a hand to force Dean to look at him.

 

“Shhh Childe. Just calm down.” Xander whispered, touching Dean's mind just slightly but enough that his Childe couldn't disobey.

“Yes Dawn is going to call Dean's soul back from Hell. You may have all of Dean's memories but you are a demon. You won't be tortured like my Sire was Childe. The two of you will co-exist peacefully within the body. I promised Dean I wouldn't leave him in Hell, you know that. Would you really want his soul to be left there to be tortured for eternity? Think what it would do to Sam?”

 

“You want the soul not me!” Dean whimpered and Xander leaned in to kiss his Childe gently.

“I love Dean but you are my Childe. I could not abandon either of you. Think of it like gaining a Siamese twin sort of. You are from hell so you know what Dean's probably going through right now. You can help him accept that and teach him all about how to use his new body. He can help you with things most vampires never experience, like real love and family.” Xander soothed his distressed Childe softly. He wanted Dean's soul and his demon to get along, life would be a lot better if there wasn't a constant battle happening inside Dean's body.

 

“You want me?” Dean whispered and Xander nodded. Dean surged him to claim a kiss and Xander let him. He rolled over again, holding the younger vampire close as he gently nuzzled him. Dean gradually relaxed as Xander began to purr. Dean hesitantly brushed his lips against Xander's throat and he tipped his head to the side to give his Childe better access. He knew Dean was feeding out of a need for comfort rather than hunger. Yes vampires were bloodthirsty demons who didn't care about humans but if treated right by their vampiric family they were a lot different amongst their own kind. Slowly the feeding turned to little nips and licks and Xander moaned at the sensation. He tugged Dean up and looked into his eyes.

 

“I won't claim Sire's rights Dean. Only do that if you want it.” Xander told him and Dean nodded.

 

“Please Sire. I can remember but I want this too.” Dean asked and Xander realised he was talking about the time Xander had had sex with Dean, it was kind of amazing the way the demon had accepted the memories were the soul's not his and wanted his own. Xander smiled and pulled Dean down to kiss him, Dean making little pleased noises as Xander rolled them again so he could hover of Dean. He could see that Dean was struggling to keep his Game Face from coming to the fore and grinned teasingly at his Childe. It didn't feel weird thinking of him as Dean, he was just another aspect of Dean, or would be soon anyway. In some ways he was bolder than Dean but in others he was more insecure, an interesting mix. Xander wondered if things with Jesse could have been different if he'd known more about vampires back then. But then he shoved those thoughts away and focused on proving to his Childe that he was wanted and while not loved, not yet, he was cared about.

 

Dean's demon was just as responsive as the soul had been and it was incredible. He licked and nipped every bit of skin as it was exposed, careful not to let his features slip, this was all about his Childe's pleasure and showing him that his Sire would not hurt him. Dean was whimpering and pleading by the time he reached his belt and hips were eagerly lifted so they could be removed. Xander chuckled but did as his Childe wanted. He hadn't seen Dean's body naked like this in years and there were a few changes, new scars and the like but he was still almost as tanned as he had been alive. It was odd not hearing his heartbeat racing but it wasn't the first time Xander had had sex with another vampire. He took his time preparing Dean, making sure to keep him distracted with his mouth. When he finally entered him Dean was incoherent with need, having lost control of his features, and writhing on the bed. Xander started off moving slowly so he could adjust but picked up speed when Dean began moving to meet his thrusts. Seeing Dean trying to fight the urge to bight something he used a hand to guide Dean's face to his neck, silently giving his permission. Dean's fangs piercing his skin was all he needed to push him over the edge, Dean following swiftly.

 

“Don't you want my blood?” Dean asked after they'd been lying together for a while.

 

“Only if you want me to Dean, that was all about your pleasure Childe.” Xander assured him and Dean nodded sleepily. Xander smiled and gently soothed his Childe to sleep, he knew the sun was up and while it held no sway over them Dean did need the sleep.

 

--------------------------------

“Are you alright Sam?” Dawn asked and he shrugged.

“Dean?” She asked and he nodded.

 

“In some ways he's so much like Dean and then he'd talk about wanting to turn me or go and hunting and....”

 

“And you'd realise he was a demon, not Dean. It's okay Sam, I understand. I've seen people turned before, usually a fellow student when I was in Sunnydale. Even when I bring Dean back, the demon will always be a part of him, they'll be sharing the body and hopefully Xander will be able to convince the demon to cooperate with and even help Dean's soul.”

 

“What if he doesn't?”

 

“Then Dean will have to learn to suppress the demon or I'll have to do it magically. Unfortunately that drives the demon mad and if it ever got loose...has Xander ever said much about how he was turned?” She asked and Sam shook his head.

“He's not the first vampire with a soul but he is the only one without a demon. His Sire was Angelus, one of the Scourge of Europe, a hundred odd years ago Angelus snacked on the wrong person. Gypsies tend to be very creative when it comes to vengeance, Angelus was cursed with his soul and became Angel. He came to Sunnydale shortly before my family and helped Buffy, eventually they fell in love and one thing led to another. Unfortunately his curse had an out clause, if Angel ever had a moment of true happiness the curse would be broken and Angelus freed. He wanted to make Buffy pay so he killed some kids from her class, her Watcher's lover, and things like that. Then he decided that wasn't enough, he needed to get one of her closest friends. He targeted Xander because he'd made him back down once. He killed his parents and then drained Xander and fed him his blood. Willow was attempting to re-soul him at the time but it was too late, Xander was already dead. Angel was obviously horrified by Angelus' actions but decided to wait for Xander to wake, he figured whoever gave him his soul back could do the same for Xander or he could at least give the gang the chance to say goodbye even if it wasn't really Xander. But Xander had been possessed before by a primal hyena, the matriarch of the pack and she never fully left him. Actually we think she's a bit higher on the food chain than a simple primal spirit but anyway. She protected Xander's soul when the demon entered, let it change him and then kicked it out and put Xander's soul back in the driver's seat. Apparently Angel was rather shocked when Xander woke up still Xander, soul and all. So I guess Angel's an example of what happens if the two don't cooperate.” Dawn finished and Sam just stared out the window in shock. Poor Xander going through all that. At least now he had a better understanding of not only Xander but what could happen with vampires.

 

“How long until you can bring his soul back?” Sam asked and Dawn shrugged.

 

“At least another three days before I'd want to try. I may be feeling better but my reserves are really low still. Is your friend going to be okay with my doing this in his house? I get the feeling he doesn't really trust us.”

 

“Bobby loves Dean like a son. He wants him out of hell too so I doubt he'll complain.” Sam told her and Dawn nodded, curling closer to him. Sam looked down and smiled gently, holding her like this felt right. Dawn could take care of herself and was able to kill demons, there wasn't any worry of her dying because of him and he cared about her....if he hadn't met Jess first who knew what may have happened. He had loved Jess and still missed her but maybe it was time to move on. Dawn looked up at him and smiled and Sam hesitantly lowered his head towards her. She stared at him in confusion for a second before realising what he was doing. Sam waited for her to push him away but instead she reached up to place a hand on the back of his neck. He closed the distance between them and their lips met tentatively. He relaxed as she accepted the kiss, even pulling him closer so he set to exploring her lips and when they parted slightly he slowly deepened the kiss. When they parted they were both smiling.

“Dawn I....”

 

“If you say that was a mistake you're spending the next week as a frog.” She threatened and Sam laughed.

 

“No mistake.” He assured her and she grinned.

 

“Good.” With that she pulled him into another kiss.

 

TBC....
