The Art of Survival
Two more weeks past and though they stayed on the same path, things had most definitely changed between them. Sam hadn't freaked out when he woke up that morning with Kayla next to him, hell, he was comforted by it. It eased his thoughts so much it had become practically an every night occurrence. They never talked about it, and they never took it further.
After an evening of questioning yet another string of demons and having to kill them all, they were pretty much spent. Sam walked first into the motel room, before he flicked the lights he saw a movement in the corner.
"Kayla get out."
"What?"
"Get…"
But the lights flicked on and the door slammed shut behind her and they found themselves face to face with four demons. Kayla swallowed hard; they were too tired for this, too unprepared. She exchanged a look with Sam.
Don't be scared. He tried to comfort her but knew he didn't need to, they had been comfortable with the idea of death for awhile now. After two months with nothing but hopeless despair, this might not be a bad thing.
Two of the demons grabbed Kayla and she let it happen, calmly standing her ground as they held her still.
The only female demon stepped up to Sam and punched him in the face; he didn't flinch. She reached into his pocket like she was going to feel him up but pulled out the dagger.
"Thanks for keeping it warm for me Sam."
He cocked his head. "Ruby." She was in a new body, an older blonde.
"In the flesh, again." She smiled. "Man was Lilith pissed, lucky for me she gave me one more chance to go topside. All I had to do, was find you, and kill you."
"You backstabbing…"
She punched him again and Kayla jerked forward, she was ready to give up to demons but Ruby she'd put an effort in it.
"Aw whatsa matter Kayla? Don't want to see Sammy get hurt? I can start with you." She walked over to her. "If that'll make you feel better." She raised the dagger.
In a series of movements, Ruby lunged forward and stabbed the two demons holding her, one at a time. The third demon ran to attack her and she turned and drove the dagger into his neck.
Sam and Kayla stared at her in shock. What the hell?
"Get your things, and let's go. There are more demons around the building, and they all want you dead."
