forcing himself to keep up with the compressions and try to not focus on the fact two people where dying around him, dean would listen as the vixen weakly slurs out the thoughts that ran parallel to those had hid in dean's own head. god it hurt to hear. even if she was the darkness, no one should think that while they were dying. out of the corner of blurred vision, dean could make out the sight of the vixen's paw reaching out towards sam. it's going to kill her, his brain ever so eagerly supplies. dean wanted to stop her, he did but he couldn't. it was sammy's life on the life and as long as he could remember everything had been about sam. keeping his little brother safe, fed, and relatively happy was dean's priority back then as much as it was now. and currently dean was failing at all of that.
as soon as caroline's paw connects to sam, the wolfdog feels his brother pull in a sharp breath. oh thank god. he could cry with relief, or he would have if he wasn't already crying. staying frozen above sam mid-compression, dean would watch as they extend a weak paw up to his chest before giving him a gentle nudge in hopes of getting him off. right! right, he was probably making it hard to breath now that sam was functioning on his own. quickly scrambling to get off, the canine would take a slight step back (leaving just enough room for sam to stand up if they so pleased) as a shaky sigh of relief leaves him.
the moment sam drags him in for a hug the wolfdog's tail goes ballistic. normally dean controlled that action since he thought it was just plain weird but he didn't give two damns at the moment. sam was fine. he was alive. "you can't scare me like this," mutters the dog, mainly to himself as he returns the gesture. thank you caroline and whoever else had played a positive role in all this.
while embracing his little brother, the elder sibling fells sam struggling to keep his weight on his feet. at one point they had murmured something about caroline but she'd have to wait. caroline would have to understand sammy came first, dean needed to make sure sam wasn't going to lapse before he ran over to try and help her as well. doing his best to support sam's weight, dean would gently begin lowering sam back down to the floor. "easy now." once dean made sure sam was safely seated, he would position himself eye level with his younger brother to let his eyes search their face. much to dean's relief, their eyes seemed much clearer and brighter than they had before once he ignored the obvious fatigue sam was feeling from the whole endeavor. "it's gonna be alright, little brother," murmurs the older canine with one last intense once over. sammy seemed to be out of the woods but now caro had dived in head first.
caroline. how was he suppose to help her? get her a place to sleep until her mojo recovered? was she even still alive. she was conscious enough to slur out a few phrases earlier and dean could only hope she was lucid enough to hang tight until he could find a way to fix this. positioning himself so he could keep an eye on sam, the wolfdog would focus on caroline. she was going to be fine, the worst was over -right? she was an immortal, a powerful one at that. she was the sister of god, she could pull through this. she'd be fine. yeah. she'd be fine. "hey, you're not dying on us yet, caroline. i like your pies too much to let that happen," jokes the hunter as he racks his mind for an idea as to what to do next. the gratitude the dog felt right now was indescribable. she'd saved sam. she had saved his little brother and it was only fair that he found a way to save her. that's now it worked.
snatching up the long-forgotten blanket sam had been using, the tear-stained dog would begin tearing it quickly into shreds. she was bleeding and dean had no idea if someone like her could bleed out to the point of permeant death but he didn't want to risk it. it wasn't like dean had any powers aside from the flower thing, he couldn't heal her. he couldn't transfer some of the pain no matter how much he wanted too. it was his fault sam was in this mess. he hadn't realized sammy's soul was still trapped in the cage so long again. he hadn't been able to contact death in time to call in a favor. he hadn't noticed fast enough to prevent the hallucinations from getting this bad. it was dean's fault, caroline might be a monster in her own eyes but dean thought he deserved the pain more than anyone here.
as he began wrapping the shreds of cloth around the barely conscious vixen, two words would fall softly from his mouth as he worked. "thank you." dean was hardly one for these kind of mushy moments but he was tired. he had almost lost both of them and with any luck he could help 'save' them too. not that they should have needed saving in the first place. if dean had just been a better brother none of this would have ever happened. hell, cas might have never had lucifer take residence in their head either. sure, the angel had been the one to break the wall but if dean could have prevented this before the wall was even in place he could have stopped this. if he had actually looked for sam after they fell in the cage he might have been able to have stopped all this from happening before it even began. if he lost either of them, the weight of their death would fall on the guilt-ridden hunter's already worn shoulders.
