Notes: I gave not!Tammy a demon name. Deal with it.
He believes her, the fool. Both of them think she's helping out of some plan for the greater good.
She was human once, yes. And she hated it. Why else would she have given herself to Kaliel? It was the best decision she ever made, selling her humanity for power, and she has never looked back.
But Kaliel was weak, could not see the bigger picture beyond gaining human souls.
Azazel and his whore, the crossroad's bitch, did, though. So they created Sam, born of humans.
Humans are weak creatures in body, with malleable and breakable flesh. But their souls, their wills…
Sam will lead. To save his brother from Satan, he will have no other option. And she will be there, his guide. She will be there, favored above all but Dean.
Azazel, his whore, and Kaliel all failed because they underestimated the brothers. But she, once-human and self-named, understands them. Of all her numerous mistakes over the centuries, underestimating the Winchesters will never be one of them.
Neither of them fully trusts her, she knows. They both think they're using her, but she is using them for her own ends.
She will never rule an empire or command an army, but being an advisor to the king is more than enough. Azazel and Kaliel both reached too far, too high. Satan will suffer no rivals, and he hungers for Dean's soul.
So she will deliver Dean to Satan's feet and watch Sam rip the world apart. She will follow him down, will help him reclaim Dean, and stand at his side under the new dawn.
She has everything planned, every possibility prepared for, and she is ready.
Yes… Azazel and the rest underestimated the brothers. But she knows them, and that is a mistake she will not make.
