A Time to Heal

Chapter eight

Sam

Kyle grabbed Sam's hair and pulled his head back until Sam thought his neck was going to break.

"Where's Lucifer?"

"I don't know."

Lucifer had crawled out of the hole in the ground and had immediately disappeared; neither Dean nor Sam knew where he had gone.

"What secrets did that demon slut of yours tell you?"

"She didn't tell me anything. She lied to me all along."

"Liar!"

Kyle delivered a vicious blow to Sam's face then released his hair. Sam's head fell forward and he gave it a little shake trying to shake off the blow as blood poured down his chin from his bleeding lip.

"I'm telling you the truth." Sam spit out the blood that had collected in his mouth. "I thought if I killed Lilith I could stop Lucifer from rising…..I didn't know I would be breaking the final seal."

"But you drank demon blood to do it." Kyle once more backhanded Sam across his face. "You're nothing but a demon loving bastard!"

Sam still wondered how they had found out about the blood drinking, but it was no use wondering how, word got around and now he was paying for it. In a way he felt he deserved it. When Dean had died he had lost everything he cared about. Sure he still had Bobby, but Bobby wasn't family, not real family. His mom, dad, and now Dean were all dead and he wanted to be too…but then he found a reason to live….revenge. It was all he cared about, all he thought about. He was going to track down Lilith and make her pay for killing his brother. But Lilith was too strong for him which brought Ruby into the picture. Ruby said she could teach him how to become strong enough to defeat Lilith and he fell for her lies hook, line, and sinker. She told him the only way he could defeat Lilith was to drink her blood, her demon blood. At first he tried to resist her, but his hatred of Lilith, and the heartbreak of losing his brother finally drove him to it. It was true, the demon blood made him strong, strong enough to defeat even the most powerful demons. He knew what he was doing was destroying his soul, but he didn't care, all he wanted was revenge on the demon who had taken his brother from him.

He remembered being overjoyed when Dean had come back from the dead, but he knew he couldn't tell him about Ruby. He had promised Dean he wouldn't go down that road, but he had. What Dean didn't know was that it was because of his love for his brother that he had. When Dean had been stripped from him so violently he had lost himself in grief, he figured he'd kill Lilith then kill himself instead of living with what he had become. When Dean came back he was already too far gone, between the demon blood that had been dripped in his mouth when he was a six month old baby, and the demon blood he had drunk willingly he no longer could control what was in him. He had thought he was doing the right thing, defeating Lilith and stopping the final seal from being broken. But Ruby had lied to him and when he finally destroyed Lilith he saw the truth, Lilith's death was what was needed to raise Lucifer, not stop him. By then his bond with his brother had been broken.

He had once begged Dean to kill him if he became something he wasn't, and now he wished he had. He would much rather have died by Dean's hand then die like this.

Wayne reached over and grabbed Sam by his face and forced him to look at him.

"We heard you killed Gordon."

Sam swallowed hard, the only one who knew about that was Dean. Had Dean told these men about Gordon….and about the demon blood? If not, then who?

"Gordon had been turned into a vampire, I had no choice."

"You expect us to believe that?"

"It's the truth."

"We're not going to believe a demon lover like you….. Gordon told us he was looking for you; he knew that you were evil, that you needed to be killed." Wayne said as he took the baseball bat from Kyle.

Sam clenched his teeth and tried to prepare himself for whatever was next. He squeezed his eyes shut when he saw Wayne raise the bat; a second later he felt his hand explode under it and gasped in pain.

"We can keep this up all day boy. Now tell us….. where is Lucifer?"

Sam shook his head back and forth. He had no idea where Lucifer had gone.

"Kid's tough." Kyle said to Wayne.

"Just like his old man and brother. But I'll break him…. sooner or later he'll spill everything."
