Dean couldn't shake off the feeling, the deep borne instinct of something telling him what to do and what not to do.
He can't trust Ruby.
Sam was like a stonewall, he refused to budge and tell them exactly why he trusted her, despite their moms best attempts to get him to crack and talk.
Later found the three of them back at Bobbys, sans Sam. He had decided to stay back in town to...talk to Ruby for a bit longer.
Based on the look that Ruby had shot him at that, talking was going to be the last thing that they were planning to do.
And that just made the gnawing in his stomach grow larger until it was almost choking him.
He didn't give a damn about the fact that she was a demon, even if it was something he should hold against her if only due to his last encounter with a demon was to be kidnapped and used as bait. He honestly didn't care about it when push came to shove.
Their mom did and their dad was following her, only because he didn't know enough just yet. It might remain like that once he learned or he'd try to see all the sides.
According to Mary, there were only two sides. Black and white, them and us, supernatural and humans. She claimed that there was no such thing as a good supernatural being, that all of them preyed on humans one way or another.
And especially demons. If there had ever been an idea that a supernatural being could be on their side, demons were nowhere near that idea.
It was just some sort of lingering feeling, a thought that had nested into his brain and refused to leave. It wasn't something that he could ignore, despite how he tried to focus on his task at hand.
Bobby had set him to work in making bullets, apparently some had to be specially made for certain monsters, when he got up to it he was going to be able to carve precise devils traps on the bullets to work against demons. For now, salt rounds and silver filled bullets.
But that became muscle memory too quickly and as a result, his mind started to wander.
And it kept going back to Ruby and his brother.
It was her eyes that bothered him, it was her actions. The little pieces that he got was that she had been edging Sam on, motivating him in some way. Her words had power over Sam and he didn't know why but they worked. And over and over again she kept bringing it back to Sam and his family but keep those two things separate.
Like she was trying to drive a wedge between them. Like she was trying to keep them and Sam away from one another.
Like she was trying to keep Sam all to herself.
His instincts have never been wrong before, even back when he was younger he knew that he could rely on them. It was something deep inside of him that he never really understood but always obeyed.
His father had been a soldier in Vietnam. His mother had, apparently, been a hunter of the supernatural. Two jobs that require a mixture of luck, skill, and damn good instincts. It was in his blood and being, engraved into the deepest parts of him.
So when they were screaming at him about this, when every part of him was saying not to trust Ruby, when even just her name made his skin crawl?
He knew to listen to them..
So that meant that, first things first.
He needed to get Sam away from her.
I do not own Supernatural.
