Author's Notes: Trying to get out of a rut of writer's block. What better way than my first Supernatural fanfic?

Any and all reviews are welcomed and appreciated.


Sam snatches the knife, Ruby's knife, away from Meg and viciously plunges it into one of her minions, satisfied when the demon howls in pain and rage as its pathetic existence ends.

Memories of a blonde Ruby, vessel looking so much like Jessica that the other Sam, the Sam with a soul, had looked on with more than a little awed fixation as the then unknown demoness slayed her kin with a gracefully vicious finesse, bombarded the currently soulless Sam.

He didn't, couldn't, care about Ruby, or even Jessica whose death seemed as if it happened to someone else, but the sight of Meg's fingers curved around Ruby's blade had made Sam's blood boil. That knife was his. Ruby had been his; his ally, his savior, his lover, his betrayer. Hell, despite playing Sam from the moment they had met her devotion to Lucifer had almost been admirable.

As Ruby had been Sam's, Sam had also been Ruby's. It could be argued that in her own twisted way Ruby had been in love with Sam, or had felt an emotion as similar to love as a demon could feel. The way she had portrayed Lucifer's assumed gratitude towards Sam when he had killed Lilith had not been mocking nor cruel; it had been genuine. After Dean had plunged her own knife into her brunette vessel ending the existence of the demon that had been called Ruby, as he and Sam watched in horror as the final seal protecting their world from the wrath of the fallen angel Lucifer disintegrated under an angry river of the slain Lilith's crimson blood, Sam had grieved for more than just his doomed world.

Sam's fingers curve possessively around the knife, his grip equal parts reverent and avaricious. This is his knife, their knife, and no other demon has earned the right to wield the knife she wielded so masterfully.
