Truly sinister times, a brilliant dark chapter and Sam's dream the centre of it, outstanding writing!

Loved the update.  My absolute favorite part was the "dream" Sam had.  It was so good to hear Dean's voice again--albeit a weak and shaky one with intermittent screams of agony.  Which was perfectly dramatic and effective.  :-)  It made me want to cry and gather him up in my arms to soothe him.

Wow, I knew demons are using rather unfair practices but this one is reaching a new level of evil, she's horrible! Poor, poor Sam, this is so cruel and to see what she does to Dean to remind them of the consequences when they fail to find the bullet, very painful to watch and again very vivid I might add, giving me the creeps once more. And on top of everything else Bobby's surmise the pneumonia is more than just pneumonia. God, what a mess, but I LOVED it, even more as your're insinuating there still might be a couple of chapters to come, so great!!!

hope they don't have to pull the impala apart too much to find the bullet. Dean will be pissed!

another great chapter. thanks

Ooohhh the evil bitch doesn't play fair, does she?  Just promise me she'll meet a fitting, horrible end!

I'm absolutely enjoying (of course) that you're still putting Dean through his paces injury-wise.  Love it.

 

Closed my eyes this morning when I passed the hospital on my way to work, frightening chapter, very detailed and vivid scenes! Great idea to show two sides here, the 'normal' one that Sam so painfully experienced when Matt gave Dean the coma-patient treatment (aah, when he cleared Dean's lungs!) and then the one with the demon involved (Naamah touching Dean and making his brain work for a brief moment was a very cruel scene), still can't tell what scared me more! Grand!

Author's Response:

I set way too many things in hospitals, don't I? *wink wink*

And hey...don't be closing your eyes while you're driving, that's dangerous!!

My goal was to make Sam realize that they probably can't sink a whole lot lower than where they are right now because they really can't, can they?

Anyway... thanks a million!! Always!!

It makes sense, although, if i'm not mistaken, you are actually following the canon, right, and i thought that the bullet is in the Colt??? or was it never addressed and i'm just happily taking it for granted??

the whole processof draining his lungs, it's a real medical procedure?? it sounds so gross, and i think that if i were Sam i'll be throwing up bile before i even see the bloody fluid.

Talking about Sam, he's awfully aggressive with Matt isn't he?? he's channeling Dean!! LOL

Author's Response:

The bullet was supposed to be in the Colt when John handed it over, but who says it really was?  Even demons can have a slight attention lapse when the're a little too excited, can't they?  I'll explain where I'm going with it, I promise.

As for that whole draining of the lungs, yes, it's a real medical procedure and you're right, it doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun.  Poor Sam, he really gets everything all 'in his face' doesn't he?

As for Sam and his attitude...yep, he was channeling Dean there for a little bit.  I thought the same thing when I reread it but decided to leave it.

All that drama and angst and you gotta go and make the nurse a guy.  You really one sick, twisted individual, aren't you?

Loved the update.  Don't know who i feel bad for more, Sam or Dean.

Author's Response:

Of course I did.  Would you expect anything less from me?  And yes, I'm sick and twisted and I like it!

Glad you loved the update, and you should most definitely feel worse for Sam because he's the conscious one, right?

The blonde at the end of the story reminds me suspiciously of Roby...and i sincerely hoped it's not her.....although maybe it's one of the blondes from the house??

Hmmm....... 

Author's Response: Hmm is right. Not Ruby, I can say that for sure.  I promise you'll know who she is before it's all over.

Helen,

excellent chapter; had me crying at the end.

Sam and Bobby shedding tears together and poor Dean............

keep up the great job

Author's Response:

Thanks Renee!

I think Sam and especially Bobby deserved that little bit of release and it actually warmed my heart to have the two of them leaning on one another.  Weird, huh?

Anyway, really glad you liked the latest update...and try not to worry about poor Dean too much, I'm sure he'll end up just fine in the end.

I didn't think that Dean was in so bad shape. Awww...  the scene with Sam and Dean and the other one  with Sam and Bobby crying in each other arms, broke my heart. The demon'll wait until Dean is nearly death to offer to Sam a deal he won't refuse, so not good. I can't wait to know what'll happen next. Strigo, thanks for your warning about lemons, hope you'll feel better soon.

Author's Response:

He he...you know me, Dean's always in bad shape when I'm around.  I think they call that transference of feelings, right? (Just kidding)

I figured by the end of that chapter that poor Sam and Bobby had pretty much had enough and it was high time they vented it out.  As for that demon lady...well, she may not be so bad in the end. (Yeah, right!)

Ooops, forgot to say big thanks too!!

Glad you're back!!!

This chapter is so good, like unbelievable good! Great scenes, loved the one Sam waking up and desperately inquiring about Dean, and then Bobby telling him Dean never would stop trying to protect his little brother  - "It's because he loves you unconditionally Sam" - wonderful! And when Sam was at Dean's side, he wasn't the only one who started to cry. A shining one!!

Author's Response:

Thanks Sabine!!  Not quite back entirely, but working on it slowly.  Free time's at a premium lately, but eventually I think I'll get more. (Or maybe that's wishful thinking, who knows.) 

Anyway, one step closer to the ultimate end, then maybe I'll get my but in gear to finish Dead People.

Sorry if that one made you cry too, just wanted Sam and Bobby to have a little release before... umm...
