As soon as Rachel heard the scream she stopped. The only thing she could hear was her pounding heart and heavy breathing. And then she heard it. Something was pounding on the walls of the house next to her. Rachel took off in a sprint to the front door. As she ran through the doorway and into the house she froze.
On the ground was a beautiful blonde with a brunette standing above her with a sharp object that she couldnt make out. All she could tell was that the brunette had a weapon and she oviously intended to kill with it. So Rachel did the first thing that came to mind. She tackled the girl.
As soon as they hit the ground, the girl beneath her grabbed a shard of glass and swung it at Rachel. Rachel tried to lean back and avoid it but she wasn't fast enough. The shard sliced into her collerbone. As Rachel tried to recover she was suddenly thrown against the wall. But she didn't fall to the floor as she expected. She was being held against the wall by an invisible force. She struggled against the force but all it did was apply more pressure to her.
"Tsk tsk. That was a good try though it was futile. Now where were we...where...aw yes I was going to send back to hell where you belong," said the brunette. The women bent down and picked up her original weapon and approached the blonde once more. Just as she was going to strike a figure grabbed her from behind and stabbed her in the side. As soon as the body hit the ground, Rachel fell to the floor. Rachel tried to push her self up but couldn't find the strength. She was struggling to stay awake. Just as she was starting to fade someone picked her up. "Hey...Hey stay with me. God damn it do not close your eyes understand me? Sam open the back door...Ok help me put her in the car. Gently!" Rachel tried not to cry out when her back hit something hard. Why was everything hurting? She wondered. As far as she knew she only had a chest wound. Suddenly the pain tripled in it's intensity. The last thing she heard before she faded into unconsciousness was, "Whats happening to her Ruby?" "I don't know Dean but I think..."
The first thing Rachel's foggy mind registered was that she hurt. And she hurt everywhere. Rachel tried to sit up but as soon as she moved the pain intensified. Rachel let out a pained hiss but kept moving. "Hey don't try to move," said a soft voice. Rachel stopped and slowly turned her head to the doorway of the room she was in. Leaning against the doorframe was the blonde that had been on the floor in the house. The women moved forward and sat in the chair next to Rachel's bed. "My name is Ruby. Whats your name?" She asked.
"Rachel," she replied. Ruby sighed. "Listen Rachel what you did was something incredible stupid. Or incredible brave depending on how you look at it. And because of what you did...you can never go back to life you had." Just as she was going to continue the door to the room opened and two boys entered. One was tall with longish hair and the other was shorter with short, styled hair. The shorter one had a grim look on his face. Like he was going to do something he really didn't want to but had to. The tall one wore a similar expression. "Ruby," the shorter one said. Ruby clenched her jaw and looked at Rachel. Several seconds later she stood and walked over to the two boys.
Ruby and the short one started arguing and it quickly got ugly. Suddenly Ruby snarled and shoved the boy backwards and then appeared beside Rachel again, breathing heavily with her teeth bared in the boys direction. "Let me make this clear Dean. If you so much as look at her in a way I don't like, I will not hesitate to kill you. Got it!?" She snarled. Dean looked at Ruby with barely controlled rage and then looked at Rachel. The look in his eye could only be described as pure disgust. Rachel frowned. She tried to think of something she had done wrong but she came up blank.
Dean gave them both one last look and then turned and left, slamming the door behind him. The taller boy sighed and ran a hand over his face. He looked at Rachel then at Ruby. He sighed again and moved forward. "Hi I'm Sam," he said. "I'm Rachel," she replied. "Look I don't mean to be rude," she continued," but is anyone going to explain to me what the hell is going on?" Ruby and Sam looked at eachother and then Sam spoke.
"You know the stories you hear about things going bump in the night? Well most of them are real. Vampires, werewolves, wendigos, and demons...all real. What you fought was a demon. And a powerful one at that." He stopped and looked at Ruby. "Look I don't know how to say this nicely so I am just going to come out and say it. Your not entirely human anymore," she said. Rachel looked back and forth between the two and then burst out laughing. Rachel stopped laughing when she realized they where serious. "Wait you guys are serious?" They just looked at her. "Ok if all this is real where is the proof?" She asked. Sam looked at Ruby and raised an eyebrow. Ruby sighed and closed her eyes. When she opened them again her eyes where pitch black. Rachel knew she should have been afraid but she wasn't. She felt oddly protected by the sight of the eyes. And that scared her more than anything. "Ok I believe you but why tell me?" She asked. Ruby looked down for a moment. She looked back up at Rachel and said, "Because Rachel...you are now part demon."
Did anyone see that coming? I know I didn't. As I was writing the story kind of took on a life of it's own and this is how it turned out.
