Nick awoke with a groan, raising a hand to his head where Dean had smacked him- it hurt!

He sat up with yet another groan, looking around; where the hell was he-?

'Err... guys-?' He called, getting up and walking over to the door, hitting it when it refused to open.

'Guys?' He yelled again,frowning. What was going-?

Suddenly, the flap rattled and Sam was revealed looking in, looking apologetic.

'Sorry about this.' He sighed.

Nick was confused.

'What's going on?' He asked the hunter, who sighed again and said.

'You've been drinking demon blood Nick- you're dangerous... A danger to yourself as well.'

Nick scowled. 'So? What's so bad about that? I need it!' Sam groaned. 'Look- I know how your feeling. That hunger? I know what it's like.'

The scowl deepened. 'Then how did you get of it!' Sam frowned- he wasn't exactly sure himself. 'It was God. He- he cleaned me up.'

Nick laughed now. 'Well he's not gonna help me is he? I have a one-way ticket to Hell!'

Sam sighed- he had a point. He was more screwed than a Barbie doll in an incinerator.

'That may be- but you can't give up hope.'

Nick was silent in disbelief, then scoffed.

'Hope? Where was God when Luci freaking Lou got out? Huh?' He yelled. Sam smirked. 'Maybe your not worth it?'

Nick frowned, then the shutter closed-there was a tap on his shoulder, he turned to face Sam, who was still smirking.

'I told you Nick- were gonna have so much fun.' Lucifer smirked in Sam's form.


Sam was sat with Dean and Bobby upstairs.

'How long do you think-? He's pretty different...'

'It is impossible.'

The trio turned to see Castiel, who was staring at them with sombre eyes. 'It is impossible to tame Nick- he must die.'

Dean scoffed. 'Very optimistic eh? What a little cherub you are.'

Castiel scowled, then headed towards the stairs. 'Hey-!' Sam scowled. 'What do you think you're doing?'

The scowl was fixed. 'The vessel must die, Sam.' Sam snorted. 'That vessel has a name, you know?' Castiel sighed. 'Nick will never be normal- he has been tainted by Lucifer...' His eyes left Sam's. 'Maybe too much.'

Dean sighed. 'Nick is running scared- demons are after him for god knows what.' Castiel nodded. 'And Heaven has put an... uh... I believe you humans call it a "bounty" on his head.'

Sam looked at him incredulously. 'So both Heaven and Hell are after him-?'

Castiel nodded, his sapphire eyes still sombre.

Then he sighed. 'I will... not notify the other's of his whereabouts.' Then he scowled. 'But if he shows anything related to Lucifer in his actions, we will descend.'

Sam sighed as Castiel vanished.


Sam went down to the room himself, peering through the grate to see Nick lying on the bed, asleep or staring at the wall.

'Um... Nick-?' He called.

'Go away.' Was the only response. Sam frowned, then understood. 'It's me. Not Lucifer.'

Nick turned over, and Sam was shocked to see tears in his eyes.

'Just kill me Sam.' He asked, then turned back to the wall. Sam was speechless. 'What-? Why would you say that?'

Nick laughed, then turned over to scowl at the ceiling.

'My life is over Sam. What's the point anymore?'

Sam scoffed. 'There's always something worth living for-'

The laughter returned, but Sam could also detect a deep sadness in the man's voice as he said.

'My family is dead, Lucifer won't leave me alone... and Heaven and Hell are after me... did I miss anything out?'

Sam sighed, but couldn't answer.

The guy was right... Sam went back upstairs.


Nick was still staring at the wall when he heard the voices, the echo's. He sat up with a frown, staring at the door.

Then he scowled- he had to get out... He got up and walked over to it, placing his hands upon the solid iron; it didn't budge.

Nick lost it, and felt his temper snap-

The door swung open.

He stood there for a moment in silence, then stepped out.

He had to get away... far away, where no one- whether it be Heaven, Hell or Lucifer, could find him.
