It Didn't Take Long (Prologue)
Warnings: Blood, stitching, faintness/dizziness
A/N: This will be the first series I've posted on Tumblr, so I'm hoping I do okay. I will also include a song for each part of the series. This part, "Save Me" by Queen.
Summary: In this part the reader gets hurt on a hunt she teamed up with the Winchester's for. Sam and Dean help patch her up.
This really shouldn't have been as hard as it was, sure, they'd all been taken by surprise at the appearance of a second bloodsucker, but the Winchester's had been hunting their whole lives, and Y/N had taken out plenty of monsters all on her own.
She was briefly aware of the sound of the second vamp's head hitting the floor with a loud thud, but she was too focused on the blood pouring out of her side to even acknowledge that the fight was over. She felt strong arms pick her up from her spot on the floor, and she cried out in pain at the sudden movement. She opened her eyes, and saw Sam's blurry face above her. Dean opened the back door of the Impala, and Sam slid in, tugging his flannel off and trying to use it to put pressure on the wound. She cried out again.
The Impala roared to life, and Dean drive as fast as he could back to the Bluebird motel. Y/N whimpered as she was traded from Sam's arms to Dean's and carried into the brothers' motel room bathroom.
"You'll be alright," Dean murmured, kissing her forehead gently, and smoothing her hair back. He moved Sam's flannel, tossing it into the bathtub as he cradled her against his chest and sat on the toilet seat lid. "You're gonna be alright, Sam and I are gonna take care of you," he said, as Sam rushed into the small bathroom, whiskey, and a first aid kit in his hands.
"Hold her head," he ordered Dean, never taking his eyes off one of the only other hunters he'd teamed up with. They were old friends, Y/N and the Winchesters. They'd met a few years ago on a case in Nevada, and had kept in touch, always updating eachother with information on hunts, and other supernatural happenings, so when Y/N received a call from Dean, saying he needed her to come play the helpless bait, she didn't think twice about jumping in her car, and driving overnight to Missouri.
Now, seeing her bleeding out, both brothers regretted asking her to come. Sam lifted her shirt, and she inhaled sharply, twisting in Dean's arms like she was trying to get away, but Dean held her still. "Drink," Dean murmured, pressing the bottle to her lips, tipping it back enough for a shot of whiskey to slide into her mouth. She could feel Sam wiping away the blood around her cut with an alcohol pad, and when he'd decided it was as clean as it was going to get it, he took the bottle of alcohol, and doused the gash in it.
Y/N cried out, grabbing hold of Dean's shoulder, and trying to bite back screams to avoid a noise complaint. "Shhh," Dean soothed, looking at Sam and nodded at the first aid kit. "You know you've gotta hold still or it's gonna leave one nasty scar."
"It's already going to leave a nasty scar," Y/N growled at him, clenching her eyes closed, and trying to focus on his breathing. Trying to take her mind off Sam threading the needle that was about to go through her skin. "Please hurry," she whined, her head still spinning.
"I'm trying," Sam muttered, finally forcing the thread through, and tying a quick knot in the end. "Ready?" He asked, placing one hand on her side. She nodded, burying her face in Dean's coat. He pushed the sides of the cut together and quickly forced the needle through, trying to ignore her sudden sharp inhale, and focus on stitching her up as neatly as possible so when it inevitably scarred it wasn't as bad.
Y/N had ended up passing out somewhere in the middle of her stitches, and Dean couldn't be entirely sure if it was from blood loss, or the pain. Sam had cleaned her up as best he could, gently wiping her face clean with a hot rag, and getting as much of the blood off as he could without full on bathing her.
She woke up sore almost an hour later, and groaned as she sat up. The Winchesters were quick to rush over to her, each one scolding her slightly for "moving too fast," or not "taking it easy." Her head hurt, and her throat felt dry.
"I need water," she managed. Dean grabbed a water bottle from the mini fridge, and tossed it to Sam who opened it before passing it off to Y/N. She took a long swig before putting the cap back on, and setting it on the night stand. "Thanks for patching me up," she murmured, scooting up on the bed so she could lean against the headboard.
Sam ran his hands over his face, and sighed a little, looking over at his older brother expectantly. Dean shrugged, and sat down on the bed, patting her hand gently. "Sam and I, we wanted to ask you to to come stay with us for a couple days."
Y/N's brow furrowed a bit and she turned to look at Sam. He shrugged, suddenly becoming very interested in his left palm. She turned back to Dean. "What for?"
Dean shrugged. "Well you're hurt pretty bad, and we know you prefer to be alone, but we also want to make sure you're gonna be okay."
"We care about you, Y/N," Sam said, placing his hand gently over her knee.
She stared in confusion at Dean, trying to process what they were asking and then she shook her head. "No," she muttered. "I can't, I'd feel like a burden if I came to stay at the bunker for males than a night."
"I don't care," Dean said sternly. "You don't get a choice, you're gonna come stay with us for a few days and that's final." He pointed to the bathroom door. "Get off my bed and go shower."
Sam frowned, and Y/N rolled her eyes, trying her best to move quickly into the bathroom. She stopped just outside of the door. "I left my duffel in my Jeep," she said sullenly.
It was Sam who moved. He grabbed his duffle and retrieved a sweatshirt three times too big for Y/N. "You can sleep in this tonight, just toss your dirty clothes out here. I'll run down to laundromat tonight so they're clean in the morning."
