I do not own Supernatural, and I hope you enjoy!


By the time the next Sam came, it had been so long they were starting to think he wouldn't.


Meg growled in annoyance as the tug kept fighting to take Sam - and through him, her - somewhere unknown. This wasn't part of the plan, but then again, neither was letting Deano know her game this early. And - Meg groaned, nearly biting through Sam's tongue as the tug became particularly vicious and actually jerked his body backward. Enough was enough, she decided. She'd go to wherever this tug wanted her to go and get the hell out of there the split second the tug disappeared.


When he did appear, they wished he hadn't. He was only there for a moment before he disappeared again, but in that moment they could tell it wasn't Sam. It was his body, but those black eyes weren't his, and they didn't want to know where the blood soaking his clothes came from.


Meg was beyond furious after seeing where she ended up. One glance, and she knew the tug had pulled Sam's body almost ten years into the past - younger Dean, tiny Sam, and John alive had been enough to know that. Now she could only hope that a single glimpse of future Sam - if they even knew it was him, maybe this was a one time thing, but considering her luck she doubted it - and his demon black eyes didn't change the future. She liked this game far too much to give it up because someone else messed with time.


No one said a word; not a single glance was shared. They just kept waiting, together, in silence broken only by the occasional slam of a door or the sound of a car's engine as it drove by, for future Sam to appear again. (AN: Imagine the next line struck out) Praying that he would and wasn't gone forever.


Does anyone know how to do strikethroughs for ? I could have sworn I've done them before, but they're not working now - not even when I copy and paste them in.

Also, an explanation, cause I never directly state it in the chapter: Sam doesn't feel anything when he's pulled back in time. It appears, and gets exponentially stronger over time, when he resists. Meg, because she's a demon, automatically resists the magic / grace / I'm not yet revealing what takes Sam back in time so I'm just throwing out options here; resisting it is in her nature.

Please review, it gives me inspiration for future chapters!
