"The answer is yes."
There might have been regret on Ruby's perfectly flawless face. Might have been. He couldn't rightly be sure. It was there and gone so fast that Dean couldn't say he saw what he thought he had seen. He slowly turned the rest of the way, one eyebrow forked at her comment.
"I'm sorry?"
"Yes, the same thing will happen to you." She grimaced. The admission likely brought up memories she wished would just stay forgotten. "It might take centuries, but sooner or later Hell will burn away your humanity. Every Hell-bound soul, every one, turns into something else. Turns you into us. So yeah." She gave a slight nod of her head. "Yeah, you can count on it."
Dean wasn't surprised by her answer. He had known it would be the answer the second that he started thinking the question. He'd been screwed by the pooch so much now that he knew when another bend over the barrel was coming. Hell, he kept lube on hand just in case. Still, there was one more question sitting heavy on his mind.
"There's no way of saving me from the Pit is there?"
Ruby shook her head. Again, there might have been a moment's regret on her face. Might have been. Dean, however, believed it was all part of Ruby's act. Her way of suckering him and Sam into whatever trap being set. The bitch all but confirmed it when she sighed and said a short, succulent, "No."
Nope, Dean wasn't surprised by Ruby's answer. He had known he was screwed the moment he agreed to the crossroad demon's deal. He had told Sammy there was no way to get him out of his contract all these many months. To learn there was no way to break the deal? Well, that was just the icing on the cake.
He did, however, vow to do one thing before he became some Hellhound's chew-toy.
He was gonna gank the lyin', black-eyed bitch.
