(Sam POV)
The child didn't seem to have noticed him. He…it…was very involved with its candy, shoveling it down like it would vanish if not consumed immediately. Sam winced. The host was going to have a hell of a stomachache. "Good candy, huh?"
The demon answered without turning. "Uh-huh. I like M&Ms."
Sam brought the holy water up, to spray the demon.
"You don't wanna do that, Sammy." Now it turned, and looked up at him through pitch-black eyes. "You don't want to hurt us."
Sam glowered at it. "It's Sam."
"It'll always be Sammy to us, little brother."
"Dean?"
Sam's grip faltered on the bottle. "De…no. Demons lie. You're not him."
The child's eyes turned from black to brown. "Mommy died, burnt up on the ceiling. Daddy died to save me. You died because I wasn't fast enough. But I brought you back. I offered myself. I saved you." Sam's backing up now, the child (when did he stand?) following. "I left you and a Shtriga tried to eat you. You left and a scarecrow tried to eat me."
Sam swallows. "It didn't try to eat you…him. It wanted a-"
It finishes. "A sacrifice, I know."
Sam stares.
"I knew it wasn't you when Meg possessed you. Don't you know that it's me, Sammy-" The tiny body jerked as bullet ripped through its shoulder. "Sammy!"
Sam whirled to see a man standing near him. "What are you doing?" He stiffened as the man brought the gun to bear on him.
"I've heard about you Winchesters. Heard what you've become. 'Bout time somebody put you dow-"
Snap.
"Sammy? Is he dead? He hurt me."
"Shh Dean…it's alright now."
"Your nose is bleeding, did he hit you?"
"Shh, it's alright." He gently gathered up the child. "Everything's alright"
He wouldn't lose him again.
