Chapter 7 :)

Dean walks through where the black salt was spread all over the floor. It was blown away by the wind when Castiel arrive and it breaks the line that Ruby just made.

Dean closes the door, "Okay, seriously. Who's this guy?" He asks her with a little bit whisper.

"He wasn't just a guy. He already told you, Dean." Ruby sits on a chair.

"Hm..hmm…" he nods, "So, how do you know each other? Why would an angel pull me out anyway? How?"

"Could you please not hitting me with questions? Just a sec?" She replies him.

Dean scratches his hair, "Fine."

"I know it sounds a little bit weird." Ruby begins it.

"A little?" Dean snapped her.

Ruby sighs, "Okay, very weird. I summon an angel, I made a deal and I asked him to bring you back."

Dean makes a twitch, "What...?"

"But, there's one thing."

"Let me guess, you only got ten years?" He smirks at her.

"This ain't joke." Ruby rolled her eyes. "Dean, you got to stop her to break another seals."

"How? What mistake that she made and make the angel wants her?"

"She doesn't belong here." Castiel finally speaks.

"Just that?"

"She wants to make the apocalypse by herself. By waking Lucifer." She replied him.

"So?"

"So they can overpower humans, makes them serve Lucifer." Said Ruby.

Dean raised his eyebrow then he glares at Castiel, "Hey, Buddy. I really appreciate it, but I'm kind a new of this thing… If Lucifer got out, where's God?"

"Humans are created to praise and serves God, but if they don't have faith on God… It's their loss." Says Castiel.

"And we prevent Lilith to raise Lucifer it means we prevent the apocalypse, right?" Dean asks again.

"Yes."

"But God doesn't want it to happen."

"It will happen if God commanded it." This time Castiel put a gaze at him.

"O…kay. Look, Riddler, I'm still puzzled. So, then why God wants me to stop her?"

"Who do you think God did all of these for?" Castiel strikes back.

Dean face look confuse. "Is this a test?"

"I ask you one question now, do you really want it happen, Dean? Everything will vanish. There will be nothing left. There will be no existence."

Dean can't look at him in the eye, so he turns his eyes to Ruby, "Well, I still can't remember a thing. We don't have a proof that I was the one who break it first."

Castiel comes near to him, directly putting his hand on Dean's forehead, gripping his head. That surprises Dean, and he had no chance to dodge him off. Then Dean gasped, shut his eyes, he grunts, looks like what Castiel does is hurting him and Dean falls on his knees. Flashes of memories he had when he was down there came back. Ruby look worried, but she just watched him.

Castiel pull off his hand, Dean falls on the floor. Ruby helps Dean to stand up and carry him sit on the bed. Dean gripped his head, shocked. "That… That's me. I was… Those people…"

"Nasty, huh?" Ruby rubs his back, trying to comfort him. "Welcome to the club."

"Am I gonna remember this forever?" asks Dean, he still look shocked and make a disgusted look on his face.

"It will fade, I promise." Castiel speaks in a cold tone, "We got to move fast."

"And my job is?"

"Lilith is the final seal to break Lucifer free. Makes sure that she's not dead."

"How?"

"Open the devil's gate."

"Are you nuts?" He shouts at Castiel.

"Drag her back into the place when she was out." Ruby explains to him.

"But.. How?"

"That's why you're here now. My job is watching you. She will help you." He stares at Ruby. Then he disappears leaving Dean and Ruby alone in the room.

Dean looks around, and Castiel was not in the room anymore, that man is really gone. "Phew, I wish I could done that, too." He look at Ruby, "Well, that's far from my visual." He begins.

"Yeah…"

"How we're gonna do that? Open the gate. Sam was trying to open it, but he failed."

"We can." Ruby wears her jacket.

"We do?", Dean watches her, then he asks her, "You freaked out. It's way too bizarre. You poured black salt? What's with the hex bag?" she stops for a second when he asks that.

"To hide my tracks." She turns her head, trying not to stare him.

"Don't tell me that you were caught up again…" he's grabs her shoulder, facing her.

"No. Can we not talk 'bout that?" She looks at him and her eyes tell she doesn't want to discuss it, then she look at somewhere else.

"Fine. But I want you to stop doing solo. I don't want her or them to touch you again. What you did is extremely big. You've asked an angel to save me. No wonder they hunt you back." Dean curls his hands around her neck.

"Mm…hmm…" She looks down and nods.

"Thank you." He said, lower his head so he can meet her eyes.

"For what?" she pull up her head.

"For bringing me back."

"I couldn't let you die, Dean."

"Is that mean… I mean a lot for you?"

"Do I have to answer that? After everything I've done?"

He chuckles, "Yeah… I'm sorry. Then I guess it means you're mine." He smiles and kisses her. By the time he said that, Ruby felt something, it makes her happy and she felt funny in her chest. And when she is with Dean she was never felt alone.

"Promise me to never leave me again." She said to him.

"No. I won't. I Promise." He hugs her to convince her.

But Ruby is hiding something, well not really, she was going to tell him about her 'deal' with Castiel. "Dean, I…" Dean's phone is ringing, just exactly at the time when she was going to tell him something.

"Hold on. It's Sam. Yeah, Sammy?"

Disappointment written on her face. Why Sam? But Dean didn't see that.

Dean put his phone on his pocket, "I'm sorry. He was just checking, make sure that we're already met. So… What do you wanted to tell me?" he smiles at her.

She stares at him, he looks good tonight, or is it because I missed him? Do I? This humanity was too much to take, to feel and she can't deny it. Suddenly she feel doubtful. I can't. It's not that easy. What's going on? "I mean... We're better hurry." Those words just came out from her mouth.

"Okay. Let's go." He grabs his jacket and wears it, walks out the room, went into his car.

She watches his back from inside the room, "I'm sorry, Dean. I haven't told you everything…" she speaks but Dean didn't hear it because he's already starts the car. Apparently she was not ready to tell him, "If it's over, I will never see you again." She grabs her bag, following him into the car.

On the way to meet Bobby and Sam, Dean still can't believe that he was just met an angel, an angel whose summoned by Ruby. He takes a look at her for a moment, Ruby lean her head to the window, watch the road.

He sighs and watch the road again, Now, how am I gonna tell Sammy about this. About Castiel and everything?

------------

------------

They arrived at Bobby's. They told them everything, especially Castiel. About how Ruby was the one behind it.

"What was he like?" Sam asks with curious.

"Like a normal people?" Dean makes a face.

"But they got wings right?"

"Sam, what are you? Five?." Replies Ruby.

Sam shrugs, "Hey, I'm just curious."

"Boys, I don't think this... I still don't buy this." Said Bobby.

"Yeah, I know. Hard to believe." Says Dean.

"Ruby, how many seals to break?" Bobby asks her.

"66 seals, and it could be hundreds of it, it's not easy to find it. And there could be some that she had already break."

"Can we just kill her with the knife? Then everything is done!" Dean drops his body on the chair. "Ruby, bring it. What Cas' said about this."

"There's one."

"What was that?" asks Bobby.

"She got out when the gate was open..."

"Oh, come on…" he whined at her.

"Castiel said, that's the only way." Dean adds it.

"I guess that's the only way. Do we have any option?" asks Ruby to the old man.

"But we don't have the Colt! That's the key to unlock the gate." says Sam.

She takes something from the bag. When she slides it out, all the men in the room got startled, because all of them know what that is.

It's the Colt. Still whole and solid. Sam laughs then stare her with amazement. "The Colt?"

"Well, I'll be damned." Says Bobby.

"Not really. It's a good thing ya know." She grinned.

"Where did you get this? Why didn't you tell me?" Dean took it from her hand. Checking the Colt and if there still any bullet inside it.

"There's nothing there." Says Ruby, "It's harmless now."

"Where did you get this?" Dean asks her again. "Who gave you this?"

"This Colt was being stolen from us. Bella did it. She said she gave it to… Wait, don't tell me… It was you, right?" asks Sam.

"That poor British girl would never escape from the deal. She summon one of her army, she gave it to them, to bargain. And you know what happen next. Lucky us that dumb demon only broke the Colt apart but not vanish it. Then I killed the demon, take the 'damaged' Colt and run. I hide it in a safe place, but it was not easy to put back in shape again. And I can't tell you guys because it was broken into pieces. And Lilith didn't knew it until now."

"Talking 'bout a fugitive for Lilith." Says Bobby.

Dean snakes his hand on her shoulder, "You're good, y'know that?" Ruby glances at him.

"So...?" She asks again for assurance.

Sam putting his hands on his waist, thinking, "We should try that."

Everyone look at each other, then Bobby nod, "Okay. Let's do it."

"Wait, there's another. It's about Sam." She cuts them, holds them from leaving.

"Me?"

"What's with him?" asks Dean pointing at him with his thumb.

"Remember when you told me, when Lilith were trying to attack you, you said she can't harm you. Like you were immune or something?"

"Is that true?" he asks his brother.

Sam raised his shoulder, "Yeah… but that means nothing, right?"

"No. That's because you still got your power."

"What all that psychic crap? That's gone, ever since Yellow-Eyes died," Sam says.

"Not gone. Dormant," Ruby replies. "And not just visions."

"Ruby, I'm not gonna let Sam using that creepy psychic ability 'I can see the future', 'I can see through anything' or 'I can control minds' stuff to the show."

"Dude, I'm not a freak." Sam rolled his eyes.

Dean makes a face, "I know, so don't be."

"Fine. I didn't ask you to use the power, but to 'use' it."

Sam and Dean look at each other again.

"Boys, you must prepare yourself up. We're dealing with something way more bigger than we usual do." Says Bobby.

"Come on Dean, we got to do something." Ruby pulls Dean's arm.

"Huh?"

---------

One night, Sam was waiting alone at the motel, while Dean and Ruby were out, preparing. Bobby was preparing himself too. Sam was browsing with his laptop, waiting for his brother back.

The door slammed, makes him surprised. He stands up, he see two men rushes to him, to attack him. Sam was un-armed, while one man holds his mouth, the other catch his hands and pin it. "Don't scream. Except you wanna be dead again." One of them said to him. "Where's Ruby? Oh, yeah and your brother?"

Sam groans when the man hurt him, "I don't know." He answered.

"Liar. Our people saw her with you this morning. Well, hold that for Lilith."

Then they're taking Sam away.
