All his life Sam had learned
to rely on certain charms and objects for safety and protection. He knew that
amulets and talismans could drive away the wicked and safeguard the soul. He
knew that spells and holy enchantments could harm a demon and other evil
spirits. He knew the security of prayer. He knew that churches and blessed
sanctuaries would always be safe havens. Sam took comfort in these things.
He'd taken them for granted.
Sam sat on the bench at the
diner table, quiet, his coffee untouched. His brother had a buffet of food
spread in front of him – a cheeseburger oozing with heavy cheese sauce, a plate
of fries, bags of chips, crackers, pretzels, nuts – the list went on.
Eleven months ago, Sam would
have said something. He would have protested. He would have pleaded with Dean
to stop, to take care of himself.
But he knew that this feast
was not about health. It wasn't about gluttony. It wasn't about the food at
all.
Sam understood.
He'd seen Dean flipping
through the Bible. He'd watched Dean fool around with iron rods. He'd caught
Dean sneak into a church. And now he watched Dean pour the salt over his food.
For all the charms and
blessings, the amulets and talismans, the holy words and spells, none would
matter. What once was their salvation would soon become Dean's doom.
Sam understood and he didn't
say a word.
Soon the day would come
where Dean couldn't take them granted any longer.
