We Will Not Fall
-Twelve-
Everyone watched as a man entered the room, hair grey and jacket black, while he wore a blue shirt beneath the jacket. Katie stood back up as Alicia tried to steady her, everyone watching the demon move forward. Sam's instinct was to use his powers but Katie and Alicia both had the feeling that it would be pointless. The demon's eyes rolled white and back to normal before he coughed and let out a condescending smirk.
"That tickles." He said, voice so slimy it made everyone's skin crawl, "You don't have the juice to take me on, Sam."
Katie nudged her head and the demon flew straight into a wall. She moved forward, throwing him across to another while Alicia turned on Ruby, throwing her into a wall too. The newcomer laughed as Katie grew closer which made her boil with anger inside.
"Now we're talkin'..." He chuckled, "Feisty one aren't we, gorgeous?"
"Feisty ain't the word for me, darlin'." Katie snarled, punching him in the face.
"Get back in your place, you worthless little whore!" The demon growled, sending her flying backwards across the floor.
Dean flipped and went straight for the demon who threw Sam straight down the stairs. Alicia's instinct was to help Dean and she left Ruby, while Katie struggled to her feet, wincing at the pain in her back as she drew Sam back from where he'd fallen. She turned, looking for any way to get rid of the son of a bitch who suddenly asked Dean if he recognised him.
"Oh, I forgot..." The demon replied, "I'm wearing a paediatrician."
Katie and Alicia both grabbed the demon and hurled him away from Dean, straight into Ruby who was trying to grab Anna.
"Anna, come here!" Katie yelled, watching the young woman run to her, "It's okay! You're gonna be okay."
Out of nowhere, Sam stabbed the demon who chuckled and gripped at the younger Winchester's jacket. Alicia went to help Dean up who was bleeding from the nose and mouth, and she did her best to keep him supported.
"You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that, son." The demon laughed.
Alicia listened as Dean was trying to tell her a name while Ruby suddenly grabbed Anna and disappeared. While the demon was stuck trying to get the knife out of his chest, Dean, Alicia, Katie and Sam all broke into a run for the window, Dean keeping a hold of Alicia's hand as the four of them dove for the window, bracing themselves for the crash below.
While Katie tried to stitch up Sam's arm, Alicia stayed by Dean, rubbing his back as he spat blood out into the sink.
"We lost the knife." Katie said lowly, tears filling her eyes as she started to grow angrier and angrier with herself and the situation, "We let Anna down. I let Anna down...She vanished right under my fucking nose. And the most irritating part of this is that we gave that bitch a chance and she stabbed us in the back!"
"Ouch! Jeez, Katie!" Sam gasped, earning an apologetic look from the young woman, "Hey, don't feel bad...We were all preoccupied."
Dean moved across the room with Alicia by his side, bracing himself on the bed as she went to pop his shoulder back in the socket. Katie sniffled and wiped her eyes quickly, returning to stitching Sam's arm.
"You ready?" Alicia asked, earning a nod from Dean, "Three...Two...One..."
The crack was sickening and everyone flinched while Dean sighed with the relief of the pain being lessoned by his lover. Katie finished stitching up Sam and she moved closer to him, cleaning the blood up around the wound before grabbing her bottle of alcohol.
"C'mere..." She whispered, sitting on Sam's lap and burying his face in her neck before pouring the alcohol on the wound, hushing his cries of pain, "Shhh, shhh..."
"Who the hell was that demon?" Sam asked, everyone noticing the shifty look Dean gave.
"No-one good."
"You know him, Dean." Katie said, hiccuping and wiping her eyes, "Or he at least knows you."
"Hey, has someone seen to you yet?" Alicia asked, earning a shake of the head from her friend, "Okay, lie down..."
"We gotta find Anna." Dean said, changing the subject quickly.
"Ruby's got her, I'm sure she's okay." Sam said straight away, both turning at the whimper that escaped Katie's lips.
"Shhh, I've got you." Alicia whispered, turning to the brothers, "Can I have some help, please?"
Sam got up and headed over, Dean joining him as they took a look at Katie's now bare torso. There were bruises all up her ribs from her impact with the wall, and up her back several cuts. But there were a few splinters of glass in her side, which Alicia was trying to remove with some tweezers.
"Jesus..." Dean breathed, "Katie, why didn't you say anything?"
"Sam needed stitching up..." Katie said, gasping in pain as Alicia missed again.
"Guys, I need light, and I need alcohol..."
It didn't take long to fix up Katie and she remained on her side, Sam sitting by her while Dean and Alicia remained close.
"You sure about Ruby?" Dean asked, "Because I think it's just as likely she used us to find radio girl and brought that demon to kill us."
"No, she took Anna to keep her safe." Sam disagreed, while Katie huffed and chuckled bitterly.
She'd had enough of this, of Sam's constant suggestions of leaving everything to Ruby, that Ruby would save the day. Ruby wasn't trustworthy, and she'd stabbed them in the back before. Katie wasn't born yesterday and she could tell a mile off that something would go wrong and Ruby would betray them. Sam had gone far enough and she was in too much pain to keep her anger in.
"You naïve son of a bitch..."
"Katie, leave it." Alicia said quietly, watching as Katie struggled to sit up.
"Why the hell hasn't she called us to tell us where she is?" She snapped, "Don't fucking play the fool, Sam. That bitch is dangerous, and you know it. She went straight for Anna and took her from me like it was nothing."
"That demon is probably watching us right now!" Sam snapped, standing up while Katie went and squared up to him.
"You're really something, you know that?" She growled, "Any excuse to keep precious Ruby safe. If I get my hands on that little whore, I'll kill her myself!"
With that, the chairs flew away from the table and Katie grabbed Sam's shirt in her hands, not caring that she hurt his wound.
"That other demon let us go so he could follow us to Anna!" Sam yelled.
"You call this letting us go?" Katie asked, grabbing Sam's wound.
"Yeah!" Sam yelped, "Killing us would've been no problem for that thing."
"You're in allegiance with one of those things!" Katie yelled, letting his arm go, "Your priorities are flying out of the window, Winchester. Your brother, your own safety! Us! We're all out of the fucking window because precious, special, gorgeous Ruby comes first!"
"We have to wait for her to contact us, okay?"
"How's she gonna do that?" Dean asked quietly, earning no response from Sam, "Why do you trust her so much?"
"I told you." Sam replied, earning a shake of the head from Dean.
"You gotta do better than that." The older Winchester said, "I'm not trying to pick a fight, I mean, I really want to understand. But I need to know more. I mean, I deserve to know more."
Alicia watched as Katie started to pace, her face tear streaked both through frustration and pain.
"Because...she saved my life." Sam said, and he began to tell his story.
It transpired that Ruby did save his life and then he went on to describe his amazing night of sex that he had with her, which left everyone in the room feeling sick. Katie especially. She had every right not to trust demons and to know that Sam had slept with one...Just...It made her feel violated in a strange way, and it made her feel dirty, disgusted and like she was about to spew up everywhere.
"Too much information..." Dean spat, everyone looking around at Katie who'd gone a very sickly white colour.
"You...you slept with...And then...And then you slept with me? You..." She shuddered and stared back at Sam, "You got your body covered with demon and then you...Oh, God..."
She turned towards the bathroom and outstretched a hand behind her.
"Just...J-just give me a moment, please?"
And without warning she just threw up into the toilet, Alicia rushing to go and help her. Dean and Sam raised eyebrows at each other, and continued to talk to his brother.
"I told you I was coming clean." Sam said.
"But now I feel dirty." Dean replied, both brothers looking worried as Katie continued to vomit, "Hey, is she okay in there?"
"She'll be fine!" Alicia called back, continuing to soothe her friend as she threw up her innards into the toilet.
