The story takes place right after the season 10 finale, after Dean killed Death, the Mark of Cain was removed and Darkness was released into the world. I mentioned before, new characters will be added and thrown in the story and I will bring back several former characters from the show in the upcoming future.
Chapter 41 Reminiscing
Sam just sat on Dean's bed since his bed was occupied with a duct-taped Becky and he felt so powerless not being able to go out and help Dean find the answers they need to solve this case but to be stuck in the motel babysitting Becky aka Rebecca who's soul is corrupted by an evil dark energy inside the ruby ring she is wearing.
He knows they have to work fast before this dark energy destroys her soul altogether and they are running out of time. But right now he's trying his hardest to ignore Becky's smug taunts as she is clearly trying to get a rise out of him.
"Well, I gotta say Sammy, it's been a while since it was just the two us, not since the day we got hitched. Yeah, we really did have quite the honeymoon, when I wacked you over the head with that waffle iron your brother got as a wedding gift and dragged you to my folks' cabin where I had you hog-tied to the bed. I guess you see this as fair play with me now being all tied up and all, okay I guess we're even now" she said in a snarky tone.
Sam just turned to her quite irritated and finally ready to respond to her taunts.
"This isn't payback or about being even, like I told you before, we are actually trying to help you" Sam cried out.
Becky had the same expression on her face not touched by Sam's remarks.
"I have already been helped when that old hag sold me that ring. If it changed me like you said, then it is the best thing that has ever happened to me" she retorted.
Sam was really getting fed up.
"No it is not, that ring is evil and has changed you for the worse, and we got to destroy these rings and stopped that witch in time before…" Sam fired back but Becky didn't give him a chance to finish his speech.
"Yeah I know you gotta change me back to the old Becky, save me from the evil that is corrupting me before it is to late and I'm stuck this way forever blah, blah, blah," cried Becky in annoyed tone.
Sam just got up and walked up close to Becky not fearing for his safety since she was duct taped and couldn't do much. Then he looked right into her face.
"You know Becky, even if you don't know it right now, I gotta believe that way deep down there is still some of the old you left in there" said Sam.
Becky just gave her "whatever" look.
"Yeah? Well where the hell is she then, because she sure isn't here right now" Becky said with the same snarky tone.
However, Sam wasn't giving up trying to reach the old Becky who maybe still in there.
"Seriously, Becky I know the real you hasn't gone completely away" he told her.
"The name is Rebecca for the last time and even if there is some of the old me left is that really such a good thing for you, because from what I remember it was the old Becky that trapped into you marrying her via a love potion of course, knocked you out in order to kidnap you at her parent's cabin where she left you tied up and gagged on a bed. Now that doesn't sound like such a wonderful person does she?" Becky retorted.
"I never said the old Becky was perfect, yes what she did was wrong but she did come through for me and Dean in the end and even saved my life. Becky was a good person in end, she could have sold her soul to that demon to get what she wanted which was to make me love her for 25 years yet she chose to help me stop that demon from hurting more people instead, that doesn't sound like such a bad person does she?" Sam responded.
Becky just rolled her eyes and said "well, that Becky was a bit weak" she told him.
"No, she was better than that just like I said don't you remember?" Sam told her as he just stared into her eyes hoping to get a glimmer of the old Becky who was buried way deep down there. "And you are better than this, Becky just like you were before don't you remember?" Sam finished as he continued to gaze her to her eyes as if he was trying to see through her.
Flashback
Lake Loon Cabin Pike Creek, Delaware
Sam is tied to the bed in the bedroom as Becky sits on the bed holding the love potion and is prepared to use it while Sam just watches kind of nervous.
"Becky, you're better than this" Sam cried out still a bit afraid.
"That's sweet, but I'm not so sure" said Becky still holding the love potion Guy the crossroad demon gave her looking very conflicted.
Sam continued to look a bit nervous but he knew he needed to do his best he could get through to Becky before she goes through using that love potion on him again so he just swallowed.
"Well I am, this isn't you Becky, you don't have to do this" Sam cried out.
"But I do, this is my only chance to finally get the love I always wanted and with the right man and that is you Sam" said Becky who was still just staring at the potion.
"This isn't the way to get love, not by drugging someone against their will, you don't have the right to force someone to love you" Sam said hoping he could still reason with her.
Becky then turned to face Sam.
"I don't want to force anyone to love me, but I don't know if for me there is any other way, it is so easy for you to say, you probably never had to worry about being alone for the rest of your life and never finding love" said Becky.
"Are you kidding?" Sam retorted.
"Okay, I mean yeah, you're a hunter an all and that would create some problems traveling around a lot to kill monsters and that would make it hard to meet anybody but face it if you weren't a hunter and had a normal life, you wouldn't have any trouble finding anyone and I mean you've done that before" said Becky.
Sam paused a bit thinking about Jessica and the normal life he wanted with her but he had to focus on talking Becky down before she drugs him with that love potion again.
"Becky, please at least think about your own well being, you cannot trust this Guy dude, whatever he promised you it is a lie, he has already killed those other folks after granting their wishes, he will do the same to you no matter what he says" Sam cried out.
Becky turned away from Sam again just stared at the potion with a still conflicted and hesitant look on her face.
"Hey, come on Becky, I know a part of you doesn't really want to do this" said Sam.
"How do you know that?" asked Becky glancing at Sam again.
"Because you would have done it by now, you could have already forced that Spanish fly down my throat if that was what you really wanted" Sam told her.
Becky looked away again.
"Maybe I'm just thinking right now, you're distracting me" said Becky.
"No it is your conscience" said Sam.
"I don't know" said Becky.
She still looking conflicted while holding the potion in hand and just staring at it again.
"I just wanted someone to care for me like I care for them" Becky explained.
"Becky, if you really want someone to care about you, you should care about them too" said Sam.
"But Sam, I do" Becky cried out turning her head to face him once more.
Sam just continued his speech.
"Well, if you really care about someone, you don't tie them up and hold them captive so you can drug them in order to force them to love you. To care is not to try to force people to feel a certain way for you against their will and that is what you'll be doing if you try to force me to drink that potion. You see, when you care about someone, you can't be selfish but are willing to put their needs first even if it hurts you. Now Becky if you truly care about me, you won't force me to love you against my will just to get what you want, but you would free me so I can stop this Guy whatever he is from hurting more people. Becky, please help me you just like you help me before, I know deep down you are not this selfish afterall you helped me find out about the colt with nothing to gain for yourself instead you just wanted to help me. Please Becky" Sam kept trying to persuade her and it seemed to be working.
As Becky listened to Sam's words, she just looked at Sam with guilt and confusion all over her face as her conscience was finally sinking in. Then she turned to look at the potion and after hesitating for a about a minute or so she finally got up off the bed and left the room. Then Sam called after her.
"Becky, Becky!" he yelled.
A few minutes later, Becky came back in without the love potion.
"Becky what did you do?" Sam asked.
"You can relax now Sam, I just poured the potion down the drain of the bathroom sink" she explained.
"Oh good" said Sam with so much relief.
Becky just stood there with looking all guilty.
"Can you please I untie me now?" asked Sam.
Becky just ran up to the bed where Sam was still tied up and starting ranting to him in her typical fast-talking hyperactive tone.
"Oh Sam I'm so sorry, I didn't want to harm you, I just wanted to you to love me, I was so desperate for a chance to have someone love me and have a happily ever after that I lost my head. And when I met Guy, I thought that my prayers were finally being answered it all seemed like a dream come true. Sam you were so right about him, he is killing all those people and he is not even a wiccan, it turns out he's a crossroad demon and this time when I met him, he wanted me to give him my soul in exchange of having you love me for 25 years and it seemed like a dream come true that I took the love potion although I didn't make a deal with him yet, I swear. Oh Sam, I know I don't deserve it but I hope you can forgive me someday, I know you must think I'm a terrible person, but I would do anything to make it up to you, I swear I will!" she cried.
She kept on with her non-stop fast-talking ranting as Sam tried to cut in between her constant babbling although he had stopped to pay attention when she mentioned Guy being a crossroad demon
Finally he managed to cut in on Becky's ranting.
"Becky if you want to make it up to me than please untie me already!" cried Sam getting really impatient right now.
"Oh right" she cried out.
Becky then fled the room again and came back shortly with a big knife and went straight to work in cutting the rope as she continued to express her remorse of what she did to him as Sam listened on to her annoying babbling. Then Sam told Becky to get the rest of his clothes as he sat up from the bed and once again Becky ran out of the room coming back shortly with his shirt, pants, shoes and socks and tossed them to him. Sam had to give her an annoyed look to get her to leave the room so he can change and she ran out and waited near her laptop.
Then a few minutes later, the cabin door burst open causing Becky to jump in fright as both Dean and Garth stormed in waving their guns like police officers. Becky just backed away in fright and put out her hands.
"Woah" she cried in fear.
Dean and Garth looked around then turned to Becky.
"Where's Sam!" Dean cried out quite urgently.
"Hey, I know you want to find Sam and all but don't you think this is a bit extreme!" cried out Becky still scared.
Dean and Garth both lowered their guns as they continued to look around the room. Dean turned to Becky again.
"Hey, I don't have time to explain, but we are actually here to save you guys, so now tell me where's Sam!" Dean cried out impatiently.
"Sam is in the room getting dressed" said Becky nervously.
"Oh" said Garth who gave Dean a look and Dean gave the look right back.
"Dean!" cried out Sam.
He stepped out of the room now dressed but he was still finishing buttoning up his shirt and both his shoes were untied.
Dean just gave Sam a weird look and asked, "Did I just interrupt something here?"
Sam quickly looked embarrassed knowing what Dean was thinking.
"Dean, honestly this isn't what it looks like" said Sam.
"Uh huh" said Dean just giving him that look.
"Dean, we really need to talk" was all Sam could say.
Later while sitting on the couch Sam and Becky both explained to Dean and Garth about Guy being a crossroad demon who is the one killing people after granting their wishes. How he duped Becky into thinking he was a wiccan and gave her a love potion to make Sam fall in love with her. Then she met up with him again to get another bottle of the potion since she ran out and apparently the potion can wear off. That's when Guy asked for her soul in exchange for 25 years of Sam loving her and under the condition that she doesn't tell either of them who he is and how she considered making that deal but she won't go through with it.
Sam didn't mention Becky knocking him out and tying him up in the bed at the cabin and didn't give Becky a chance to bring that up despite still being angry at her about that and Dean didn't question what exactly were they doing there since he assumed they were on some honeymoon getaway. He would later try to squeeze it out of Sam exactly what happened at the cabin after their situation with Guy was all over when they were driving away even teasing him about it. Sam still wouldn't tell him anything partly he was too embarrassed about whole incident, being overpowered and hog-tied to a bed by a petite 5'2 100 lb chick. Plus despite his anger, a part of Sam did feel a bit of pity for her when he saw how remorseful and sad Becky looked so when she was about to tell Dean what happened he may have wanted to spare her some of the embarrassment even though he wasn't letting her off the hook.
He even went on to point out that she hadn't used the last potion Guy gave her and is now willing to help them stop the crossroad demon despite that fact it was clear he wasn't over what she did. Becky was a bit flattered by it and kind of hope it was sign Sam had feelings for her deep, deep down although a part of her knew it wasn't true.
"Guy wants me to meet him at the class reunion to seal the deal but I just won't go" said Becky.
"Oh yes you will" said Dean.
Becky looked up confused.
"You see, I have a plan on how we are going to trap this demon and you, my dear are going to help us" he continued.
"I'll do anything to help" Becky said.
Back in the Present
Sam continued to stare at Becky hoping to get bit of glimmer of the old Becky somewhere down there and bring that side back to the surface. Becky just stared back silently with no expression on her face.
"You see, Becky there was good in the old you no matter what you say. I wish I could see that old Becky right now" Sam said.
Becky's head turned away for a moment than it turned around back around to face Sam and finally spoke up.
"Yeah, the thing is I helped you guys because I really wanted to atone for what I did and do the right thing and not have you hate me" Becky said.
"I don't hate you not then and not now" Sam told her.
"Well I really wanted to be that good person you thought I was, I guess I still cared about what you thought of me there Sammy, but looking back now I realize how pathetic I was then. I mean the only time I ever did anything remotely daring was when I tracked you down and gave you that love potion and tied the knot with you. I was finally getting what I truly wanted and I threw it away just like that because I had to do the right thing. If I could have trusted that Guy demon to keep his word then I just should have been stronger like I am now and shoved that potion down your throat and made that deal with him and then I would have had 25 years of happily wedded bliss" she finished.
Sam just looked disappointed that he couldn't reach Becky like he did before the last time he saw.
"Besides, you didn't really suffer, you were all lovy dovy with me and even defended me to your brother Deano, face it you were happy" Becky went on.
"Becky" cried out Sam.
"Rebecca!" Becky corrected.
Sam just sighed and kept on listening to her rant.
"Anyway, I don't need validation from you of whether I'm good or not as if you Winchesters are the paragon of goodness which you're not by the way" Becky cried out.
Sam just stood there with an expression on his face as if to say "excuse me".
Becky went on again.
"You heard me good, neither you nor your brother has the right to the high moral ground. Remember I read the rest of the Supernatural books, the unpublished works that I released online. It seems you two have done a lot of questionable things yourselves. There is you for example Sammy, I mean I always took you for the boy scout compared to your brother, Mr. Straight and arrow do the right thing choirboy. Well you had been quite busy with hooking up with Ruby, the demon chick after your brother went to hell. I mean seriously a demon Sam? I wasn't good enough for you but a demon chick was? Well I'm sure she was hot, guess that's all that matters. Oh and you let her get you hooked on demon's blood, I mean seriously, demon's blood" she cried out.
Sam looked at her confused since he remembered the first time meeting Chuck, he told him that he didn't put those details in the books so Sam wouldn't look so unsympathetic to the readers. "Hey, Chuck didn't..." he was about to finish when Becky cut him off.
"Yeah, I know didn't put that in the books but the thing about dating the author of the stories about your lives who also happens to be a prophet that can see visions of your lives is that he can confide in you some details that he doesn't add in some books. Besides, I found some notes he had in his study when I went to visit his home one time that had additional details about you about you and Dean that he decided not to add in the books so not to make you look bad to the fans. He even made me promise not to reveal these details to anyone and of course I like a dutiful girlfriend I was decided to follow his wishes. It felt like such an honor that he could trust me with confidentiality even after he just dropped me out of nowhere, I still kept the secrets mostly for you there Sammy" she replied.
Sam paused not knowing what to say and before he had a chance to speak up again Becky continued on her rant.
"Anyway, back to you and that demon chick, you also let her talk you into slaughtering that poor nurse who had a demon inside her, when you could have just exorcised her" she said stopping for while.
Sam continued to remain silent as he listened with a blank look on his face.
"Then to top it off you started the freaking apocalypse! I mean that beats the cake, no one can top that off. I gotta say after reading all of that, I was a bit disappointed, just figured you were smarter than that. Of course I guess you would atone when you let Lucifer possess you and threw yourself into Lucifer's cage, I admit I so touched by such a sacrifice I literally cried after reading it but still you wouldn't had to if you didn't start the apocalypse in the first place of course I knew you would come back just like your brother Dean did" she said.
Sam opened his mouth to say something this time but again Becky just continued her speech.
"And speaking of your ever loyal protective big brother Deano, we all know that he sold his soul to a crossroad demon in order to bring you back from the dead. I didn't even offer my soul to Guy so I can have 25 years of unconditional true love with you but Dean can give his soul to raise you from the dead? I mean wasn't there some moral code he had, yeah I remember that the dead is suppose to stay dead? Well I guess the rules don't apply to the Winchesters. And please, don't say he did it to be selfless, no he did because he didn't want to go on without his baby brother, his soul mate, his other half, you know sometimes you two seem like married couple you two have this whole co-dependency thing. Anyway, it was perfectly fine for him to leave you all alone to go hell but not okay for him to be all alone, kind of selfish if you ask me" Becky finished.
After listening to Becky's rants, Sam just squirmed a bit feeling uncomfortable to her words, maybe because there was actual truth in them. It's just ironic that he is hearing the harsh truth from this dark version of Becky whose soul is twisted.
"Becky er Rebecca..." Sam tried to interrupt but Becky cut him off again.
"Hey, I'm not making any moral judgment here, well actually I sort of am, face it what you guys did makes me look like a girl scout, as I only doped you with a love potion to make you love me and marry me for a day or two, you two did all these things and I bet you did more things not mentioned in the books that were I might say not so moral?" she spat out.
Sam just squirmed again as he felt like she was seeing right through him.
Becky just smirked as her eyes lit up with excitement.
"Oh you did, didn't you?" Becky said gloating.
Sam still didn't answer but just kind of looked away from her.
"Well, well, my have we fallen" Becky fired back taking pleasure in making Sam squirm.
"Oh, by the way I am sorry you have such back luck with women, maybe it's the fact you have the weirdest taste, I mean there was Ruby the demon chick, and before her was Madison the werewolf and Meg who turned out to be possessed by a demon before her. I mean your track record was almost as bad as mine" Becky continued gloating.
Sam just gave her a "what?" look. Then not knowing what else to say, he just walked away back towards the other bed and sat down on it in defeat.
Becky continued to look smug.
"Ah, what's the matter Sam, did I hit a nerve, not feeling so self-righteous now are we?" she taunted some more.
Sam just turned his head at the direction and finally said, "I'm just waiting for Dean to get back with that rock to destroy that ring and the evil it has in it that is corrupting you and you'll be back to your old self again, then we can find this witch and destroy her too" he told her.
"Hey, like I said, I don't freaking want to be back to my old self!" she yelled back now angry again.
"Well too damn bad, because there is no way in hell we are letting this witch use those rings for whatever she has plans which is no good and letting you remain as Rebecca. You will thank us for this later when you are you again" Sam said in a harsh tone.
"That witch selling me that ring was the best day of my life! It is so liberating not to be weak or pathetic or nerdy but to be freaking awesome. I'm better now than I've ever been, I stronger, tougher, fearless, take no crap from no one, have a better sex life than that dweeb I was before. I mean what could she possibly have that I don't and do not tell me goodness" Becky cried out.
Sam just stared at Becky and paused for moment.
"Oh, can't think of anything?" Becky asked sarcastically.
After more pausing Sam finally spoke up.
"She had a heart and a conscience, those are the things that you don't have Rebecca" Sam responded back.
Becky, unmoved just rolled her eyes again and said, "Well those things are so overrated anyway" then they both just fell silent.
I made some brief changes and corrections with some descriptions and dialogue of this chapter and will do go back make mild changes in other past chapters.
Update: I made some more corrections in this chapter since the last time and will likely make additional changes in the other past chapters. Thanks for reading.
