I was going to skip this episode, but I changed my mind as it's kind of an important one for AJ. I have something pretty interesting planned for her. It's something completely different which I'm really excited to bring about.
-x-
My entire life, ever since I'd been old enough to really think for myself, I'd learnt to go with my guts, that feeling deep down inside the pit of your stomach that something wasn't right.
Ever since I'd returned from hell, I'd had that very same feeling, something that had sunk its way in the moment that hotel room door had opened in Pontiac, the moment I'd locked eyes with my baby brother.
Right now, this very moment, I'm starting to wish I'd listened to those guts. I don't know which I'm feeling the most right now, anger or hurt, not knowing whether I want to break down, sob my heart out or punch something continuously not caring if my hand gets broken in the process.
"I'm gonna kill him," I muttered, my hand getting grabbed by my twin's, him stopping me from barging into that room.
"Hold on, Matilda. Look...I'm not happy about this either, but..."
"He fuckin' lied to us, D."
I hear him just sigh, his grip loosening a little on me allowing me to break free, walking into the next room, hearing him follow behind me.
"So...anything you wanna tell us, Sam?."
"Hold on...just let me ex..."
"What, you gonna say "Let me explain"?. You gonna explain this?. How about this, why don't you start with who she is...and what the hell she's doing here?," Dean asked, his eyes moving to the brunette, the same woman who was in that hotel room with Sam the night we were reunited.
"Good to see you again, Dean. AJ," she answered, looking from my twin to me.
"You...you have got to be kidding me. Ruby?. Is...Is that Ruby?," I whispered, finding I have no strength in my words, feeling my anger quickly build up.
I charge forwards, grabbing onto her shoulders, shoving her up against the wall, pulling my knife out. And I feel myself get grabbed from behind, yanking me away from her, making me instantly start to struggle.
"Don't!," Sam shouted, his hand ripping the knife out of my own making me yell.
Then I end up shoved up against the wall, her hand gripping my throat, making me struggle to breathe, everything starting to go dark. I feel her release me what feels like hours later, collapsing to the floor, coughing, panting hard and fast.
"Well, aren't you an obediant little bitch?," Dean snarled helping me up, wrapping his arm around me, glaring at her.
"Ruby. Ruby. She's hurt. Go," Sam said, Ruby walking over to the young man who'd been possessed, helping him up out of the chair.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?."
"The ER. Unless you or your sister wanna go another round first," she answered, walking out of the room, taking the victim with her.
"Dean. AJ," Sam sighed, making me glare at him.
"I can't even look at you right now. I'm outta here," I snarled, picking my knife up off the floor, storming out.
-x-x
"Guys, where are you going?. Are you leaving?."
"Oh, you actually need us?. So sorry, Sam, I thought all you needed was your precious fuckin' Ruby," I snarled, shoving my few things inside my bag, zipping it up.
"Hold on. AJ. Dean. Come on."
I get beaten to it by Dean, his fist flying into Sam's face, leaving him with a bloody lip.
"You satisfied?," he asked, getting answered by a hard slap to the face courtesy of myself, his hand moving to his cheek. "I guess not."
"Do you know how far off the reservation you've gone?. How far from normal?. How far from human?," Dean said angrily.
"I'm just exorcising demons."
"With your mind!. What else can you do?."
"I can send them back to hell. It only works with demons. And that's it."
"What else can you do?."
"I told you."
"You expect us to believe that?," I said quietly, sitting down on the edge of the bed, resting my hands between my knees.
"Look, I should have said something. I'm sorry, I really am. But try to see the other side here," Sam said making me sigh heavily.
"I don't see another side, Sammy. I'm sorry, I don't."
"I'm pulling demons out of innocent people."
"Use the damn knife!."
"The knife kills the victim. What I do, most of them survive. Look, I've saved more people in the last five months then we save in a year."
"That what Ruby wants you to think?. Kind of like the way she tricked you into using your powers. Slippery slope, brother. Just wait and see. Because it's gonna get darker and darker. And God knows where it ends," Dean told him.
"I'm not gonna let it go too far."
"DAMMIT!," I shouted getting up off the bed, knocking a lamp off the table next to it, sending it flying into the wall. "It's already gone too far, Sam. I swear...if I didn't know you...I would wanna hunt you. And so would other hunters."
"You were gone. I was here. Me and Dean had to keep on fighting without you. And what I'm doing...it works."
"Okay...okay, well, tell me, if it's so terrific...then why'd you lie to us about it?. Why did an angel tell me to stop you?. Cas said that if I didn't stop you...he will. See what that means, Sammy?. That means that God doesn't want you doing this. So are you just gonna stand there and tell me, tell Dean, that everything is all good?."
The sound of Sam's phone stops him from saying anything back, his hand pulling it out of his pocket, answering the call.
"Hey. Hey, Travis. Yeah, hey. It's good to hear your voice too, yeah. Look, it's not a really good time right now. Yeah, okay. Well, just give me the details and...Carthage, Missouri. Looking for Jack Montgomery."
