Chapter One: Divine Intervention

Dean and Sam are thrown up against the wall and land hard on the ground.

Dean: (grabbing his side) I thought you said that this was a baby Darkens?

Sam: It was. I guess they just grow at a faster rate than other demons.

Dean: Sammy remind when this is over to kick your ass.

Sam: Why would I do that?

As they stand they are sent right back up against the wall. Ruby kicks the door open to the shabby building and stabs the thing in the back with a machete. Sam and Dean are released. Dean hits the thing when it turns around and Sam tackles it to the ground. The Darkens throws Sam across the room. As the Darkens gets up Ruby stabs it in the head. It is dead as it falls to the ground. Sam and Dean get up.

Ruby: Hey boys.

Sam: Ruby. What are you doing here?

Ruby: That's all I get. No hi how are you thanks for saving our necks…. Again?!

Dean: Are you serious? You're a demon.

Ruby: Yeah, but I am the good kind.

Sam: What do you want Ruby?

Ruby: Well, I was here because I found a way out of the deal, or at least a way of delaying it until I find a real one. Now, that I have had such a warm welcome… I think I will just take my leave.

She walks away.

Sam: Wait!

She turns around.

Sam: What do you mean you found a way of delaying it?

Ruby: Only if you say please.

Dean: Oh come on!

Ruby: (turning around) Fine.

Sam: Please Ruby.

Ruby: Now that's more like it. Follow me.

They get out of the car at the crossroads.

Dean: What so we are going to make another deal?

Sam: Tried that.

Ruby: You know you humans are so close minded.

She pulls out a box and walks to the center of the crossroads.

Ruby: Not only can you contact demons from hell, but angels as well.

Sam: You want to summon an angel.

Ruby: Not just any angel.

Ruby lights the box on fire and launches it into the air. It stops and huge light grows blinding them. When it dulls there is a young woman standing there. She has long blond hair and green eyes. She stands at about 5'3".

Ruby: Hello, little sister.

Alexis: Ruby.

The brothers look at one another in shock. Fade out.

Fade in. They are at the crossroads still. Sam looks at Ruby.

Sam: You have a sister?

Alexis: Alexis and yes she does.

Ruby: How have you been?

Alexis: In heaven. I see that you have managed to escape your fiery pit yet again.

Ruby: You know all that heat isn't good for a girls' complexion.

Alexis: Cut the crap Ruby what do you want?

Ruby: I need a favor.

Alexis: Not another one… What is it?

Ruby: I need you to take the plunge and be little Dean Winchester's divine protection.

Alexis: You have got to be joking. You want me to take the plunge again?

Ruby: Yeah. Consider it a favor. Like the time that I killed a fellow demon to help you save that little girl.

Alexis: Wait. Did you say Dean Winchester?

She looks at the boys.

Dean: That's me.

She walks up to him and circles him, nodding in approval.

Alexis: Little Dean Winchester all grown up.

Sam: Do we know you?

Alexis: No, but I know the two of you. I have looked in on you from time to time in last few years.

Dean: Why is that?

Alexis: Your mother she is a good friend of mine. She isn't able to due to the whole unfinished business thing so I do it for her.

Sam: You know our mother?

Alexis: Yes, I do. Now, why would you need my divine help?

Ruby: He made a deal with a demon to save Sammy boys' life.

Alexis: Well, that was stupid.

Dean: Thanks. Sammy let's go I have had enough of this little act. She can't help me.

Alexis: I didn't say that. Having me at your disposal would definitely keep the deal from coming into play, but it isn't permanent.

Sam: What do you mean?

Alexis: To do this I have to take the plunge.

Ruby: She means fall from grace. Clip her wings.

Alexis: In turn I would be given a deadline as to when I was to return to my duties. Therefore I would only extend your deal.

Ruby: In turn it will give me more time to find something a little more permanent.

Alexis: That is if I decide to do this.

Ruby looks at her and glares.

Ruby: And why wouldn't you? This is for the greater good. They help a lot of people.

Alexis: Who's to say the big guy will even let me. That would make this the third time Ruby that I have bailed you out.

Ruby: I know…

Alexis holds up her hand to silence her.

Alexis: (talking to herself) Are you sure? Okay. (Looking at them) Fine I will do it. As a favor to your parents he is giving me six months. You got that Ruby? Six months to find another way out. No exceptions.

Ruby: Thank you.

Alexis disappears.

Dean: Where did she go?

Ruby: Let's go back to the hotel. She will find us.

They are in the hotel room and it is raining outside Ruby looks out the window.

Sam: So, your sister. Why is it that she is in heaven and you are in hell?

Ruby: Half sister, same mother different fathers. You know the saying you can't pick your family?

Dean: What about it?

Ruby: Well, now you know why I want to help you so bad. My father isn't one of the best men out there.

Sam: Wait, your father is…

Ruby: You call him Lucifer I call him daddy.

Dean: I always knew calling you the devil's spawn was right on. So, you have daddy issues.

Ruby: You think I chose to be this way? I would much rather live a life where my destiny isn't chosen for me I choose it for myself.

Dean: So, she is…

Ruby: An angel, but not for long. She should be here soon. It's a painful process clipping your wings.

She looks back out the window. There is an empty road and then Alexis falls to the earth with a hard landing. She looks up through the rain and blood is on her knuckles and coming out of the side of her mouth. Fade out.

Fade in. Dean, Sam, and Ruby are sitting in the room and there is a knock at the door. Dean answers the door, and when he opens it Alexis is at the door soaking wet and covered in blood she falls into his arms. He pulls her inside and carries her to the bed. He puts a blanket over her. Ruby is by her side.

Alexis: You owe me big.

Ruby: I know. Sam, could you get me the first aid kit.

Sam: Yeah.

Ruby: (touching her forehead) This is so much worse than last time.

Alexis: That's why it can't be done too much. They more times you fall from grace the harder it is to hold onto faith.

Dean: This was a bad idea.

Alexis: I did it for your mother I owe her one.

Sam comes back with the first aid kit and hands it to Ruby.

Ruby: Thanks.

Alexis: I will be fine I just need to rest.

Ruby: Okay.

Outside on the porch.

Sam: That was intense.

Dean: Yeah, I know. Maybe we shouldn't take this job. Give her a couple of days to recooperate.

Sam: You're right.

Ruby: (closing the door) Right about what?

Dean: There's a job in Utah. A bunch of college girls are turning up dead.

Ruby: Okay we will leave in the morning.

Sam: We were thinking about not doing this one. You know giving Alexis a few days rest.

Ruby: If you don't then that will just make her mad, and you do not want to see her mad. Trust me. She will be better tomorrow.

Dean: Are you sure?

Ruby: Yeah.

In the morning Sam, and Dean wake up. Riby is in the bed alone. Dean gets up and wakes up Ruby.

Dean: Hey where did she go?

Ruby: I don't know. I must have just passed out.

Dean: Sammy! Let's go.

Dean throws Sam his jacket and then Alexis walks through the door with coffee. She is wearing Dean's shirt and a pair of oversized sweats.

Alexis: Hey guys! You're up early. Hope you don't mind I used the credit card to get some coffee and borrowed some clothes Dean.

Ruby: Don't just disappear like that again.

Sam: You scared us.

Alexis: Sorry.

She sits down and takes a sip of her coffe and a bit of a doughnut. They all look at her weird.

Alexis: What?

Ruby: Tastebuds are awesome aren't they.

Alexis: Oh yes. So where to today?

Dean: We have a hunt in Utah.

Alexis: What are we waiting for? Let's go.

Sam: Haha I don't think so.

Alexis: You see this whole me saving Dean thing only works when I am with Dean.

Ruby: Okay then.

Ruby looks at her.

Ruby: First I think we need to buy you some clothes.

Dean: Good idea.

A girl is sitting in her room brushing her hair. She gets up and walks to the bathroom. Her china dolls eyes follow her and then when she blinks they are black. Dean, and the others pull up to a house that is surrounded by police.

Dean: Looks like we are too late.

Alexis: Come on let's go to the hotel and check out the house when it gets dark.

They are all in a hotel room and they are loading their guns. Alexis picks up a blade and throws at the wall it sticks there.

Dean: Where did you learn that from?

Alexis: I was a hunter. Once upon a time.

Ruby: One of the best. See when you are one of god's children you get to live a human life, and then die a human death.

Sam: Ho old are you exactly?

Alexis: A died about a hundred years ago. So, a hundred and twenty-two.

Dean: You look good.

Alexis: Thanks.

They pull up to the house. Dean Gets out of the car and Sam follows. The girls go to get out, but the boys shut the door.

Dean: Wait here!

Ruby: But…

Sam: No, he's right wait here.

Sam and Dean are in the house. They are looking through the room the girl slept in. He walks past the doll and she watches him. The girls are waiting paitiently in the car and Ruby slams her fist on the seat.

Alexis: I think that we have sat here long enough you?

Ruby just nods. They get out of the car and make their way to the house. Dean is walking into the bathroom flashlight in hand. A hand grabs his shoulder, and he jumps. It's Alexis.

Alexis: Shhhh.

Dean: What the hell are you doing in here?

Alexis: I told you I have to stay close.

They hear little feet run across the floor.

Alexis: What was that?

Dean shrugs. They hear it again. Something grabs Alexis' leg and pulls her under the bed. Alexis screams.
