It was dusk when River finally asked Crowley why he hadn't left the area of the carpet he was standing on. He laughed and pulled up part of the carpet.
"Hunter's house. Round rug usually means a devil's trap."
"I see..."
River had been about to offer to break the seal when she heard a car pull up,
"Sam." She whispered, jumping to her feet as chimes jingled. Crowley noticed the chimes as she ran toward the door.
"Cherub, get in here!" He called out to Vera.
She should have been alarmed by that. This was when River realized she wasn't really in control. Rachel opened that door. She didn't know who the young blonde woman with long hair and a red leather jacket was. She was just confused-until she heard crashing and a yell.
"Rachel, run!" Vera's shout arrived from the kitchen. She turned to see what was happening-a little girl with white eyes was holding her back. One of the Angel's eyes was bleeding.
"You promised she wouldn't be harmed!" Crowley roared.
"I said I would not harm her." The little girl answered. "She is a problem. Holding back her friend while a Demon who hates her finishes her was not in the deal."
"You bitch! You told me..."
"Securing Lucifer's vessel comes first! Raziel and Sammael will not meet!"
Run! Fight! Move!
River felt like screaming these, but Rachel was to scared to move. But she felt the pain in her lower back as Ruby plunged the knife into her lower back. Then she was numb, Vera and Crowley shouting as Ruby twisted it, smirking as she whispered into the dying girl's ear:
"Just like your beloved."
