No Rest For The Wicked
The rain pounds on the roof of the porch, drowning out all sound other than the torrential downpour of never ending water. It seems as though the weather is mirroring the occupants of the porch. Both people watching, with unseeing eyes, as the storm continues.
"It's getting quite heavy." Buffy Summers comments on the unusual weather for Sunnydale, California, instead of talking about the whopping great elephant on the porch, that is currently sitting on herself and her companion slowly crushing them to death with grief.
"Yeah." Sam Winchester replies, also choosing to ignore the lack of air reaching his lungs. They watch the rain and sit in silence on the small couch on the porch. Buffy closes her eyes for a moment and the memory of what happened just two days ago in New Harmony, Indiana floods her brain.
Flashback
"I'm not gonna let you go to hell Dean!" Sam yells trying to shrug Dean's hand off of his shoulder.
"Yes you are!" Dean yells back making Buffy's eyes fill with tears. She turns away from the brothers and looks out the windows, her hand covering her mouth and tears running down her cheeks. "Yes you are." Dean continues, looking at Sam seriously. "I'm sorry. I mean this is all my fault, I know that. But what you're doing is not gonna save me. It's only gonna kill you."
"But what am I supposed to do?" Sam says, trying to keep from breaking down.
"Keep fighting. Take care of my wheels. Sam, remember what Dad taught you, okay?" Sam nods biting his lip. "And remember what I taught you." Sam nods and this time he can't keep back the tears. Dean smiles weakly at him and then they hug. Dean holds his brother tightly in his arms. He lets Sam go and steps back, his hands on both of Sam's shoulders
"And Sam, you make sure to live your life. Both of you." He says turning to include Buffy. "Don't stop living just because I aint." A sob escapes from Buffy's lips as she turns around and throws her arms round Dean's neck. He pulls her flush against him and tucks his chin on her head, breathing in the smell of her hair.
"I can't do this without you Dean." She sobs into his chest. "I love you." The words leave her lips just as the clock strikes twelve and Dean releases her and pushes her away.
"I know. And I love you too." Dean replies; a weak smile covering his pain as tears run down his face. "I love both of you so much." He says, looking from Buffy to Sam. "Take care of each other, alright?" They both nod just as the last bell chimes the twelfth hour. They stand in silence listening as the sound echoes around the empty house.
End Flashback
Buffy rubs her weary eyes; she didn't have any tears left in her body to expel. She sighs and looks over at Sam and reaches across the small distance to where his hand rests on his knee. He looks up at her with the contact and tightly hold her hand in his bigger ones. They completely understood one another. The same pain clear as day on each others faces. Buffy squeezes his hand and they both turn their heads back to watch the storm continue around them, not feeling the cold of the wind because nothing is as icy as the grief surrounding their hearts.
Flashback
"I'm sorry Dean. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy." Ruby says giving him a look of seriousness. The sound of howling breaks the silence and the sad smile leaves Dean's face in an instant. He slowly turns around and sees them in the doorway, growling maliciously at him.
"Hellhound." Dean says.
"Where?" Sam asks, looking around anxiously.
"There." Dean replies looking directly at the doorway, not breaking eye contact with them. Sam, Buffy and Ruby look to where Dean in gazing. The growling intensifies and Dean bounds from the room closely followed by the others. Barking follows them down the corridor. They sprint into a study at the end of the hall and slam the door shut. Dean quickly opens a packet of Goofer dust and lays it in front of the door and on the windowsill.
"Give me the knife, maybe I can fight it off." Ruby says, turning to Sam.
"What?" Sam asks, confused.
"Come on! That dust wont last forever!" She yells at him. Sam looks from the knife in his hands back up to Ruby, considering what she said. About to hand it over Dean stops him.
"Wait!" He yells, looking at Ruby with fear in his eyes.
"You want to die?" She snaps back at him.
"Sam, that's not Ruby." Dean says, keeping his eyes on her. "It's not Ruby!" He yells. Sam raises the knife and swings down aiming for her chest. The demon reflects Sam's blow and throws him across the room. Buffy hurries forward but the demon just throws her away, using her powers, and pins her next to Sam on the far wall. Dean makes a move to attack but is also thrown away like a rag doll, pinned to the table in the middle of the room. Each of them tries to move but the demon has trapped them.
"How long you been in her?" Dean asks, still struggling to free himself.
"Not long." Lilith replies. "But I like it. It's all grown up and pretty." Suddenly her eyes turn white and she looks at Dean.
"Oh, now that's just creepy." Buffy says, trying to mask her fear with humor. "White eyes instead of black, what, did you have to make a deal with the devil or something?"
"Look, the Slayer has something to say, what a surprise." Lilith says, moving slowly towards Buffy.
"Leave her alone." Dean yells angrily, which Lilith ignors.
"Where's Ruby?" Sam asks, trying to distract the demon.
"She was a very bad girl. Just like the Slayer." She says, her eyes turning back to normal. "So I sent her far, far away. But don't worry Slayer I have much better plans for you."
"Don't you fucking touch her!" Dean yells, trying to break the invisible bonds holding him down. Lilith just brushes Dean's comment off and moves towards Buffy and Sam.
"Hello Sam." She says, looking at him with wide innocent eyes. "I've wanted to meet you for a very long time." She takes Sam's chin in one hand and leans up and kisses him roughly. She pulls back and looks up at him. "Your lips are soft." Sam shudders and moves his face away from hers, disgust written all over his him.
"Alright so you have me. Let Dean and Buffy go." Sam says with venom, glaring at the demon.
"Silly goose. You want to bargain, you have to have something I want. Tut tut tut tut tut. You don't." Lilith responds. Buffy glares at her and tries to move, grimacing at the restraints holding her to the wall.
"So is this your big plan huh? Drag me to hell, kill Sam and Buffy, and then what? Be come Queen bitch?" Dean says.
"Cuz honey, that last part you got down pat, no change in attitude needed really." Buffy snaps from next to Sam.
"I don't have to answer to puppy chow," She says to Dean. "Or my new play toy." She says to Buffy, who shudders. Lilith walks back to the door and slowly opens it. "Sic em boy." She says smiling as her Hellhound runs into the room. Dean lets out a yell of agony as it pulls him off the table and onto the floor.
"No!" Buffy screams, trying to free herself and get to Dean. "Please! Just STOP!" She cries looking at Lilith pleading for mercy as the Hellhound slashes into Dean's leg. Lilith laughs evilly.
"NO! STOP! STOP IT!" Sam yells as Dean blood spurts out of Dean's leg pooling around him. He yells out in pain causing Buffy and Sam to scream and yell louder.
It tears at his chest and rips his shirt to pieces.
"No. Just stop. Please." Buffy sobs, not taking her eyes off of Dean.
"PLESE STOP!" Sam yells, his face a mask of pain. Dena eyes glaze and Buffy and Sam yell. "NO!"
"Yes." Lilith says triumphantly, raising her hand and pointing at Sam. A white light erupts from her palm and blinds Sam and Buffy, forcing them to look away.
"NO! SAM!" Buffy screams. The light is suddenly sucked back into Lilith's hand and Sam looks at her with confusion. He moves towards her, anger all over his face.
"Back." She says, trying to will him back onto the wall, but he just moves closer to her. "I said back." Sam picks up Ruby's knife and raises it to stab Lilith.
"I don't think so." He says just as he's about to stab her. Suddenly her mouth opens and a black cloud rushes from her body and out of the house. Buffy falls from the wall onto her knees and she stares at Dean's motionless body, tears falling onto the carpet beneath her. Sam drops Ruby's knife and slowly moves to his brother's side, falling heavily onto his knees and bursting into tears. He takes Dean into his arms and hugs his brother to his body. Buffy appears at Sam's side and wraps an arm around his shoulders and puts her other hand on Dean's chest.
"No. Dean." Sam says, crying openly. Buffy pulls Sam into her side and hugs him to her. He leans back into her and they cry together.
After a moment Sam releases his big brother and lays him back on the ground, then turning to Buffy. She enfolds him in her arms and he falls into her embrace. They stay like that, crying into each other's arms, until Bobby comes and finds them.
End Flashback
"Sam?"
"Yeah Buffy?" Sam asks, looking over at the Slayer.
"We are going to find a way to save him, to bring him back from hell." Buffy says firmly.
"How?" Sam asks.
"I don't know. But we are going to rescue him from hell. I don't care what it takes. We are going to save him." Buffy says, looking at Sam with determination.
"Yes. Yes we are." Sam says, a smile gracing his features. Buffy moves on the couch so that she is leaning into Sam's side and he wraps an arm around her, hugging her to him.
