What if War gave Sam to Lucifer?

Jo and Rufus poured salt down Sam's mouth. "Why isn't anything happening?" Jo asked.

"Please. Something's wrong. You can tell something's wrong," Sam begged. He looked at the door and saw one of the townspeople, Roger or something, looking in at the door. What was he doing here? He was with the other group of people?

"We're not going to get anywhere with him" Rufus said to Jo. "Let's go downstairs before he can mess with our heads."

Jo and Rufus left and the man came in. "Who are you? What are you?" Sam amended.

"Doesn't matter. You have somewhere else to be," and with that, he touched Sam and Sam disappeared and reappeared in what seemed to be a library in a mansion. There was a fireplace roaring in a corner, and a man standing next to one of the bookcases.

"Hello, Sam. I've been waiting for you," he said.

"Who are you?" Sam said. He looked down and saw that the chair he was tied to came with him. He wished Rufus weren't so good with the knots.

"I'm Lucifer. Let me untie you. This is no way for an honored guest to be treated."

Sam shrank back as Lucifer approached him. And as the devil touched him while untying the ropes, Sam shuddered.

"I'll try to not take that personally," he said. He pressed a button on the wall and said, "Can two of you please come in here?"

A man and a woman entered. "Yes, master?" they said.

"I have somewhere I need to go for a couple of hours. Please treat our guest like royalty, but he is not to leave this room. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master."

"Sam, just ask for whatever you want and these demons will get it for you," Lucifer said as he started towards the door.

"I want to leave."

"Sorry. Anything but that."

"So, you're saying there are no demons? "

"No." Dean agreed.

"I found the demons," Roger said rushing in. "They said they're going to kill us all."

"What are you talking about?" Dean asked. "Where did you go?"

Roger turned to Dean and Ellen so that nobody else could see his face and he winked. Then he lifted up his hand turned his ring and said, "They're demons."

"Run," Dean said to Ellen, and they ran to find Jo and Rufus and get them on their side. Maybe with them and Sam they could peacefully resolve this situation with the townspeople. And somehow they needed to take care of War/Roger.

They ran to the house where Ellen and Sam had found Jo and Rufus before. Ellen snuck in through the front door while Dean pulled Rufus out of the window. "It's not demons, it's War," Dean shouted as he and Rufus fought.

Rufus thought about that while he punched Dean in the gut. That made sense. "War?" he asked.

"Yes," Dean breathed.

"You figure that out on your own, genius?" Rufus asked sarcastically to cover the fact that he hadn't.

Dean rolled his eyes and they walked in to find Ellen and Jo standing there. "We all on the same page?" Ellen asked.

"Yeah," Dean answered. "Hey, Jo." He hadn't seen Jo since Sam had been possessed by Meg. He had remembered telling her he would call her, but he hadn't. It was just too hard. But there was no time for that. Bullets starting hitting the house.

"Where's Sam?" Dean asked. He might not trust Sam, but he still loved him and he had to make sure he was safe before he did anything else.

"Upstairs, tied up," Rufus answered.

Dean hoped he wasn't near a window as he took the stairs three at a time. When he got to the top of the stairs he ran into all the rooms, and found nothing. Sam wasn't up here. He ran back downstairs. "I couldn't find him."

"Who, Sam?" Jo asked. He was sitting right in the middle of the first room. Rufus ran up to look and came back down. "He's gone. So's the chair we tied him to."

"Do you think he managed to hop out?" Jo asked.

"Did you hear him hopping?" Dean asked.

"No," Jo admitted.

"Look, why don't we take care of War and then look for Sam?" Ellen said. She loved Sam, too, but they had to prioritize.

"Yeah, OK. I don't think we can kill him. But he turned his ring just before everyone went nuts thinking we were demons. That must be where he gets his mojo."

"So, how are you going to get his ring away from him?" Jo asked.

Dean pulled out Ruby's knife. "I'll cut his hand off. I'll go look for him where he left his car. Hopefully he hasn't left yet. You guys try to handle the people."

Dean got to the car and saw War talking to some guy. The guy turned to him and said, "Dean. Just the man I've come to see."

"Who are you?" Dean asked, as he lunged towards War and hacked his hand off. War screamed and disappeared.

"Now, that wasn't very nice." He started walking towards Dean and Dean swung the knife at him.

"You think your little demon knife is going to work on me?"

"Depends. Who are you?" Dean asked again.

"Lucifer."

Crap, Dean thought. "I need you to come with me."

"I don't think so," Dean said.

"I need to hide you from Michael. I can't have you saying yes to him."

"Well, if that's all you're worried about, you can relax. I have no intention of saying yes."

"That may be true, but you will eventually say yes," Lucifer assured him. "That is, if I were to let him find you."

He reached out towards Dean. Dean tried to evade him, but the devil was too fast for him."
