Sam
smiles at you, leaning on the Impala. You smell the air: sulphur,
blood, bone, metal, rust and ash.
It's
become familiar.
Like the new décor?
You
don't answer.
He
laughs softly in your head and you just stare ahead.
You heard of the deaths in the newspapers.
Always separate, not suspicious until much, much later when it didn't even matter anymore.
Five girls.
Five boys.
Young, pretty.
Not your concern until you saw Sam smile and hold up the amber snaked with blood and hair and your vomit came up to your throat but you somehow managed to choke it all back down.
I really couldn't do anything about it, Sammy shrugs, hands in his hoodie pockets. His mouth twists. Same for my eyes. Sorry.
He's done enough.
Did Ruby tell you how?"
"Sorta," Sam smiles at you, and you somehow know, just know that he's cracked, not really himself anymore. You know it's your fault too, but you'll get over it. Later. "More like her old Mistress told her how."
He still cringes a little bit though, as if dragging the depths up to the surface isn't more than enough.
"It's okay, Sammy," you sigh, a little weary.
He beams, basks in that one comment.
He loves you more than he did as a child.
Much more.
He leans down, grasps your head. You don't move as slick, half-warm blood touches your skin as he smiles down at you.
"You'll live. I promise."
His eyes glow gold.
He hugs you now, hand sifting through your hair, clear of blood even though you know you'll never stop seeing it on his fingers. He kisses you on your forehead, sulphur overwhelming your senses, even though you don't struggle, because no matter how twisted he is, he is still Sammy.
He is still Sammy, though he has gold eyes and pulled Hell onto Earth in your name, your honor, your life.
He is still Sammy, though he's impossibly fractured and he loves you so, so much.
So you hug him back and let yourself be selfish even as the human race is tortured, hurt, burnt and demons run near-wild.
Because he is Sammy and he loves you and you love him.
Damn, this felt longer when I wrote it. xD. Review. (gnaws fingers some more)
