Beth was totally planning on just staying in the room. She has no motivation to die again, and logical there was very little she could even do. Problem was that Beth failed to take account of how boring it is to sit in a motel room with only a tv and a flip phone. And there are only so many hours she can play pokemon in a day.

It probably pretty telling how busy Beth keeps herself that not even an hour passed since Sam left and she was getting ready to leave.

She still wasn't planning on going to find Sam and help with the investigation talks. Beth just needed to do something, and the motel was in walking distance of small neighborhood with local shops and what not. Beth didn't think much more beyond taking a walk and maybe buying some lunch.

Then she walked past a church and got what was probably a really dumb idea.

"Morning child." The man (priest?) at the altar said as soon as Beth walked in.

"Good Morning. Um, if you're not busy I kinda have a weird thing to ask?" Beth asked with what she hoped looked like an innocent smile.

"Tuesdays at 11 in the morning are usually not busy, what is if you need to? We can go to the convention if you wish to talk about that in that way."

"Oh, no it's not anything like that. I just... I guess I was wondering if I could get some holy water? Or where I could get some?" Beth asked as she started feeling her cheeks grown hot.

This was probably the longest she has ever been in a church, and it was becoming painfully clear how little Beth knows about this type of worship.

"Holy water? I could bless any container of water that you have, but may I ask why?"

"Ummm, for... peace of mind?"

The Father gave her an amused look before turning around and pulling out a box from under a table.

"We do water donations in the afternoon, so no one will mind if you take one." He said before holding out a plain old sealed water bottle.

"This works?"

"If you are asking if I can bless it, yes. It does indeed work."

"Cool," Beth said when she couldn't think of anything else.

It may not look as cool as holy water in a tin, but Beth is could to be switching it out of the water bottle soon enough to test her idea. Or convince Sam to test it for her once he finds the demon.

Beth watched silently as the man said some lines in Latin, recognizing a few from that exorcism that Sam showed her on their drive over. Beth also makes a mental note to sign up for Latin next term in school. It might have been close to five minutes before the priest was finished, and handed the water bottle to Beth.

"There you go child. I hope that will give you some peace, and if not, know that you can always talk to me or any of members of this church."

"Right, I'll keep that in mind." Beth said before turning to walk out, only to stop in order to turn back to say, "Thank you."

"You are welcome child."

With that, Beth left the church and went off to find a store that sells the other item she needs.

It was a trap. Any moran would have noticed it was a trap, but of course Sam fucking Winchester didn't. No, he thought that Lilith was really here and not getting ready to pop the seals once it was time. Honestly, Ruby half hopes that Lilith will be there so she can yell at her for getting involved so soon. No one said it would be easy getting mister goody two shoes to fulfill his destiny, but that is why Ruby is the one who is doing all this.

It's hardly been two months since Ruby started trying to groom Sam. These things are going to take time and having Sam die or get injured is not going to help. But of course, Lilith doesn't see that and just thinks he needs more motivation. And now Ruby is driving through red lights just so she can find Sam before he gets himself permanently injured. Assuming that Lilith posted demons that would try to kill Sam, which is more likely than it should be even considering how much they need Sam to be alive and in working condition.

Bad enough a few weeks ago Sam was trying his best to kill his liver. Ruby did NOT sign up to deal with a suicidal man-child. Granted, a very good looking man-child, but still. Sam could do so much better than Dean, and Ruby really doesn't understand (nor want to) their co-depended family dynamic.

After what seems like an eternity (which Ruby knows something about thanks to Hell), she pulled onto the street where most of the demonic omens where happening. There on the side of the road parked in front of a stereotypical white suburban house, was that damn car. Ruby didn't even bother to park correctly, and it was only when she got out she cursed when she remembered she gave her knife to Sam.

Not that Ruby needs it, but it sure would help this rescue mission that she is about to perform.

Like the badass that she is, Ruby kicked the front door down completely and pined two demons down with it. Sam was all bloody, and only one of his eyes were open thanks to the black eye that was forming. There were three other demons in the room that made the mistake of looking at her, which gave Sam enough time to grab her knife that fell on the floor and stab one.

"Safe words exist for a reason Sam."

Ruby smirked at the glare Sam gave her before she was forced to sidestep of the other demons. These must be even more green then her if they are only using physical attacks. Even with Sam and Ruby outnumbered, it was doable.

Ruby flipped one and suddenly Sam is there with the knife barred in the dude's chest.

Sam got thrown to the wall, and the knife gets thrown to the ground but Ruby was able to get it before the last three were able two.

"You traitorous bitch."

"Wow. Never heard that one before." Ruby deadpanned before slicing the guy's throat.

Sam got back up, if a little shaky, and now the two of them were staring down the last two.

Which only lasted a second before they both left their meatbags at the same time.

Predictably, Sam rushed over to see if the humans were still alive. Shaking them before placing two fingers on their neck to look for a pulse.

"I take it Lilith wasn't here?" Ruby wiped the blood off the knife using the shirt of one of the guys.

"It was a trap." Was all Sam said, though it was a bit off.

"Told you that you should have waited for me."

Sam grunted as he got up (apparently the humans already died) and swayed in place for just a moment before he was back to his knees.

"Shit. Are you okay?"

Ruby rushed over and singed Sam's stupidly long arms over her shoulder.

"Fine. Just lightheaded. Probably from blood loss." Sam said like he wasn't using Ruby as a crutch.

"Yeah I'll say. Starting to look like you have more blood on your clothes than in your body right now." Ruby said as she led him to the car.

And the fact that Sam let her without dealing with the bodies first meant that either he really did lose a lot of blood or had some other injury. Which, while Ruby doesn't really know a whole lot about the human body, doesn't seem good.

"Am I driving you to the hospital?" Ruby asked as she fished the keys out of Sam's pocket and maneuvered him into the passenger seat.

"No, 'm fine."

"Right, cause playing nurse is just what I wanted to do this evening." Ruby joked, but Sam was too out of it to realize that.

"Sorry," Sam said with puppy eyes and everything.

"You are so lucky you have a nice ass," Ruby said under her breath before starting the car. "Now what rat infested room are you stay in today?"

Beth should have been more worried when she got the text saying that Sam was going to deal with the demon now, but she didn't think much of it. Not until hours later when Beth was back in the motel room when all of a sudden Sam was back.

...and looked like he got run over by a truck then beat up with a fallout style baseball bat.

"What the fuck."

Sam groaned in response, but it was a very feminine voice that answered.

"Sam, did you give me the wrong room number?"

Beth could barely see Ruby who looked to be carrying Sam. Really. What. The. Fuck. Beth could kinda recall Sam mentioning Ruby saving him once or twice during the dean-less months, but right now? Really?

"Shouldn't you be in the hospital? You're dripping blood on the floor." Beth said instead of screaming like she wanted too.

"It's not as bad as it looked Beth." Sam said, slurring his words together a little.

"Do you have a concussion too?" Beth asked, and was about to request him to go to the hospital again before remembering that the Winchesters patch up their own wounds.

Like idiots.

"Whatever, I'll get the first aid kit."

Beth walked past, completely ignoring the demon in the room because she does not want to deal with that. Ever.

"When did you get a kid?" She heard Ruby ask as soon as she left for the bathroom.

"She's Dean's."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

Ruby sounded shocked, which Beth wasn't sure how to feel about that. Not thinking about it is starting to look like the best option though.

"Alright, I found some antiseptic in the bathroom."

Ruby was able to get Sam onto one of the beds, which Beth really wished she had the foresight to put some towels on beforehand, but it is what it is.

"Let me see the damage and I'll do my best to put my first aid training to use."

"You know first aid?" Ruby asked in a very condescending tone, but Beth being the mature adult that she really is, only rolled her eyes.

"Yes. I took it as an elective. Now are you going to help or not? 'Cause that," Beth points to the deep cut along Sam's bicep, "Is going to need strikes and I'm amusing hospital is still out of the question?"

"I can do it myself Beth." Sam said, which both girls ignored.

"Yeah, no. That's stupid. I've done suturing before." Granted, it was on a kiwi and in her past life, but it wasn't too different from basic sewing.

"Now this I have to see for myself." Ruby said before sitting down next to Sam, keeping him still while Beth treated the needle.

She didn't pour alcohol on it since that is only a little better than not cleaning the wound, and used the antiseptic on both the needle and the cut. It wasn't bone-deep, but it was to the muscle which wasn't good. Nothing about this was good, but Beth knew that this was the first time this happened with Sam.

Beth woked silently while Ruby and Sam talked. Mostly Sam rambling about whatever, and with the painkillers that he took it was clear his disorientation was from a head wound and not shock. Which means they can't let him sleep this off.

"Is that everything?"

Sam still had his pants on, but it didn't look like anything was bleeding on his lower body. It was mostly his dress shirt which is now red that suffered the most. No way they would be able to save that.

"No... I think you got it all. Thanks Beth, you did great."

"Yeah I know." Beth said with a slight smile, before catching sight of Ruby in her peripherals.

"Are you staying the night? Because if you are, you can wake uncle Sam up every two hours while I sleep."

"You're a very bossy brat," Ruby commented, but still doesn't move from the bed.

"And your point is...?"

Beth wanted nothing more than to tell Ruby to leave, but that would take more effort than she currently had. She'll have to bring it up with Sam later, because it seems like right now Sam trust Ruby. And it would be useful having someone who doesn't need to sleep making sure Sam doesn't fall into a coma.

"I take it back. You're a cocky brat."

Beth just blinked absently at Ruby before going into the bathroom to take a shower and get her pj's on. It was already 10 at night, and even though they didn't have dinner, sleep sounded good.

Sam woke up to another jab in his side, and still grabbed for the gun under his pillow even though he knew it was just Ruby checking on him.

"Do you have to wake me up like that?" Sam whispered.

The room was starting to look grey in the early morning sun, but Beth was still asleep and hasn't woken up once since she collapsed on top of the sheets with her hair still soaking wet. Sam will need to teach her how to sleep lightly, but considering she spent hours patching him up last night, it could wait.

"But your expression is always so funny, and I have a feeling that my other methods to wake you up may not be welcomed with the present company." Ruby whispered in his ear, making him forget momentary why such actions would be unwelcome.

"Oh, you mean Beth?" Sam realized after a moment way too long if the look that Ruby gave him meant anything.

"You know, I feel like I should be way less surprised by the fact Dean had a spawn."

"Believe or not, Dean has always been a firm believer of safe sex... he was even the one who gave me the talk."

"You're joking, that must have been one hell of an awkward conversation."

"Awkward is putting it mildly." Sam said before getting out of bed.

The painkillers were starting to wear off, but he wasn't in too much pain. It was also much easier keeping his balance then yesterday, which means he only had a slight concussion.

"So what's the deal with the kid anyways. Want to raise her since Dean can't?"

The question made Sam stop on his quest to the bathroom. First reaction was to tell Ruby that Dean will be coming back, but then he remembered that she is a demon. Ruby may not be like other demons and actually wants to try doing good, but she might not like to know that Angels will get involved. In fact, the more Sam thinks about it, the more reason he gets for not telling Ruby.

"Beth wanted to know more about hunting. So I agreed she could tag along for the next few months, at least until she starts up school again."

"Is there a mom still in the picture?"

"Yeah, I met Lisa a few times. She is really nice and, way out of Dean's league." Sam said, not mentioning all the times Dean told him how great the sex was.

It was bad enough hearing it the first time that Sam wants to never think about that conversation again.

"You sure bringing her along is a good idea Sam? Sure she's weird, but I doubt coming back bloody like you did is good for any kid."

Sam thought about that for a moment. No doubt Ruby is right about that but...

"Beth is really mature for her age, and I'm not letting her do any of the actual hunting."

"I'm just voicing my opinion. You can do whatever you want with your niece."

Sam did his business, and when he came back, Ruby was gone.

Beth was more than happy when Ruby was gone when she woke up in the morning. Sam was awake and already had coffee and breakfast on the table.

"Nice!" Beth threw off the blanket that was covering her and ran to the food.

It probably wasn't even that good, but that's what happens when you eat on an empty stomach.

"Good morning to you too."

Sam was looking better, though that might be mostly because he wasn't covered in blood anymore.

"Right, sorry. Good morning Uncle Sam, does any of your wounds look infective?" Beth said in her sweetest voice, making Sam have to cover his laugh with a loud snort.

"They're fine Beth. You did great last night."

Beth looked down as she tried not to let her checks redden due to the compliment.

"Yeah, well, don't make a habit of it."

"I'll try not to." Sam said as he took a seat at the card table, picking at his own breakfast which was just some oatmeal with raisins in it.

"We're going to have to leave once we are done eating."

"Oh, you already found another case?"

"Not yet, but I'll find something once we stop for lunch."

Beth nodded. This was probably just their routine. They finish a case, get out of town before the cops find them, then look for the next one. It make a lot of sense with what she remembers from the show and all the times Sam brings up a case he found while they were eating in a dinner.

"That sounds good."

It wasn't until they were about an hour into the drive that Sam noticed, "It looked like you recognize Ruby."

Beth looked over to Sam in surprise for just a moment, before quickly looking out the window.

"Yeah, I recognized her. She's a demon right?" Beth said to start off.

There was a lot of ways she could pay this. The easiest would to just say that Ruby doesn't care about humanity and plans to use Sam to start the apocalypse, but Beth doesn't know if she should play that card just yet.

"Ruby's a demon but..." Sam trailed off.

Beth remembered back when she first watched the show, she wanted Ruby to be good just because the whole 'all demons are bad' thing bothered her. She always liked to think people weren't bad or good, but their actions defined them as such. Sam must have a similar thought with how many times he tries giving monsters the benefit of the doubt.

But Beth wasn't going to test her own ideas about good and evil when the freaking apocalypse could happen if she's wrong.

"I don't like her." Beth ended up saying more quietly then she wanted too.

"What? Did you see something?"

Beth paused for a moment - biting her bottom lip - before saying, "Yeah. I saw something really bad and...she looked happy about it."

It was silent for a moment, and Beth looked away from the unrolled window to see that Sam was holding a wheel in a death grip. His knuckles starting to go white.

"What type of bad are we talking about?" Sam asked slowly, like he was afraid to know the answer.

"Like, end of the world ritual bad." Beth said, trying to make it sound like a joke, but that was literally what Ruby is trying to do.

"You're not joking are you." Sam sounded defeated.

"Sorry." Beth said though she wanted to say that this doesn't mean that he is going to go bad. That just because he has demon blood and is Lucifer's vessel it doesn't mean that what she saw happen has to happen here.

But knowing all that might be too much to pass off as future vision. Sam doesn't know Beth well enough to have that conversation. Definitely that she saw him cause the apocalypse and stop it by sacrificing himself.

"It's not your fault." Sam sounded tired when he said that.

"I know it's not." Beth said even though for some reason, she feels like it is. "But I know she is your girlfriend or whatever, and you know..."

"She's a demon. I get it. I... I knew that this might happen." Sam said, and somehow it only made Beth feel worse.

But this is what she wanted wasn't it? To get Sam out of Ruby's influences?

"Dean was there too, so maybe you have some time before that happens?" Beth heard herself say before she realized it.

"Okay, that's good. I'll... see if I can talk to her about it."

Beth stared for a moment before realizing what Sam said. "Uh, what? You can't tell her!"

"I wasn't going to tell her about your vision. I know how to get information out of people Beth without giving them any." Sam said, looking smug.

"Oh. That's good. Just be careful not to let her know you know of her... plan." Beth said, and maybe she should tell him more.

But saying it was the end of the world somehow seems less dangerous than saying the literal apocalypse starts and the devil come out to play. Beth has dropped a lot of stuff on Sam in this week alone, she has time to tell him later.

"Don't worry Beth, we'll figure this out." Sam said before giving an audible exhale. "Thanks for letting me know. I can tell this isn't easy for you."

Beth wanted to laugh at that. This isn't easy for her, but for different reasons then whatever Sam was thinking.

"Yeah, well, I'm just trying to help." Beth awkwardly said before looking back out the window.

"I know. You're a good kid Beth."

Beth didn't say anything back. Just let the radio station that was coming in and out of range filled the silents as she tried not to think. This was a good thing, so why did it feel like she was making things worse?

A/N: Well, I've decided to try doing NaNoWriMo this year, and with this story. Not sure how that will turn out since I have midterms all this month, but i'm going to try my best.

My favorite villain was Lucifer. I still haven't watched past season 10, so I don't know how he is there, but at least I liked him in season 5. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Fillua, it's always the best feeling when you check on a story and noticed there were a few updates since you last read it. Again, I only know season 10 Rowena, but I could see why people would like her as a villain. She has that 'you could kill me and I could thank you for it' vibe.

The question for this chapter is what side character did you wish was one of the main characters in spn?

Untill next time, I hope you all have a nice night/day.
