Part 7: The End of Everything
It's been two days since the building burnt down. Sam has been quiet over the course of the two days. Dean and Bobby are talking to each other.
"What if it isn't the real Sam?" Bobby is saying.
"Well what can we do, we're screwed if it's not the real Sam" Dean replies anxiously.
"We can also go after this Wesker and leave Sam here...this way we go and vanquish the Wesker and we come home to find the real Sam...unless..."
"What...I hope you're not thinking what I think you're thinking, the Wesker can't be in Sam! Surely we would know"
"Well, look what happened with Ruby... I don't know how long the Wesker's been inside her, do you?". Dean turns away from Bobby as he tries to come to terms with the fact that his little brother might be possessed.
Sam meanwhile is in a secluded area of the small cottage that they'd broken into. He can hear the voice again. They're plotting against us Sam. They don't even trust you. You know the truth. Don't listen to them. Listen to me. To us. We're the ones that care. Make them pay Sam. MAKE THEM PAY. Sam stands up and goes over to where Dean and Bobby are standing.
"I'm coming with you guys, whether you like it or not" he says looking Dean straight into Dean's eyes. Dean flinches and at that moment he realises that something is inside his brother. Sam walks away and Dean turns to Bobby and he whispers
"There's something inside him Bobby, I know it" Bobby nods and says
"I saw it too Dean, his eyes..."
"What about Ruby? If Sam's possessed surely she's not possessed anymore right?" Bobby doesn't say anything and Dean knows that his theory is incorrect.
A few hours later, Sam, Dean and Bobby enter Wesker forest.
"Bobby, you stay here, me and Sam will go after the Wesker" Dean says, then he looks at Bobby
"I know what I'm doing" he mouths, giving Bobby a reassuring smile. Bobby frowns at him but doesn't say anything. John would be proud of him he thinks. Sam and Dean edge into the forest. Dean turns to Sam and says
"Do it then, make me pay". Sam looks alarmed and says
"What?!" This gives Dean all the time need and he knocks Sam out, using as much force as he can. Before he leaves he turns and says
"Sorry, Sammy but I had to save you from yourself" he runs into the forest and he yells
"Where are you, bitch? I know you're out there and when I find you I'm going to kill you". All of a sudden a man runs out of nowhere.
"No one will kill my master" he says in a dull voice. Dean laughs and stabs the man with a small, but lethal brass knife.
"Is that all you got, some midget? well why don't you come out and play bitch, 'cause I am going to make you pay, nobody poison's my brother's mind, nobody, you done it to me too didn't you? You made me think that I loved her...you but I didn't" He shouts. Ruby comes into view, she laughs and says
"So you finally figured it out huh, took you long enough...did you know that Weskers feed on people's thoughts? You were useful at first, but then you started becoming distant...then I thought...Sam! So I killed a couple of hunters and I made you go to Sam and ask for his help" she pauses "It wasn't easy but I done it" she laughs and then she disappears. Dean looks around but he can see her anywhere. He runs back to the spot where he left Sam and he finds that Sam is no longer there. He runs out of the forest and he finds Sam and Bobby by the car.
"Sam?! Bobby is he still possessed?" He asks whilst panting heavily.
"Dean, it's okay this the Sam we all know and love" Bobby says
"Good, Sam I need your help, we need to kill this thing once and for all" Dean says glancing toward Sam.
"And how are you going to do that?" Ruby says appearing by Sam, a smile on her face. Sam winces in pain and falls to the floor. He can hear the voice again. Kill. Kill them and together we can pursue our dream. The end of everything. Dean looks down at Sam and up at Ruby
"What are you doing to him? Bobby make her stop...Sam.." He says. Bobby starts to recite a chant in Latin, but he's not quick enough a huge gust of wind blows him a small distance away and he's knocked unconscious.
"Looks like it's just me and you, Dean" Ruby says with an evil cackle. Dean gives her a look of disgust
"You witch, LEAVE SAM ALONE"
"Me? A witch? That's an insult to me and my fellow Weskers" Ruby says with a smug look on her face. Sam is still on the ground, he looks like he's in a great amount of pain. He can hear the voice again. This time it's louder and clearer. KILL. The end of everything is near. Come on Sam, you can do it.
"NOO" he yells and Ruby looks down at him for seconds, this give Dean time to stab her with the brass knife and he plunges it into her heart. Sam stops shaking and Ruby freezes, she looks down at the knife that is sticking out of her heart. There is a cold wind and they hear a high-pitched shriek. Ruby falls to the ground and Sam rushes over toward her.
"S-Sam..." she says whilst gasping for air "I'm s-sorry" and she's still. Dean kneels down beside Sam but he doesn't say anything. After a few moments, he goes over to help Bobby.
"W-What happened?" Bobby asks.
"She's dead, Bobby...I thought about it but there was no way that I could kill the Wesker without killing Ruby" Dean says, sounding like he is trying to convince himself. Sam comes over towards them and Bobby says
"I think I'll leave you two to sort things out" an he departs swiftly. Dean rushes towards Sam and he throws his arms around him
"Er...Dean, you're sort of squeezing me to death, and considering that you just saved my life, it would be a bit pointless if you killed me wouldn't it?" Sam says jokingly. Dean lets go of him and says
"I'm just happy that you're alive, little brother...even if you are a pain in the ass". Sam laughs and says
"Is Bobby okay?"
"Bobby's fine...what about you Sam, are you okay?" Sam starts to reply but he hesitates.
"Not really" he says finally, "But I will be". Dean looks at Sam then at Ruby's body which is few metres away from them.
"I can't believe she's dead..."
"Neither can I"
"You still loved her didn't you? That's why it was so easy for her to get into your mind and stuff"
"None of that matters to me" Sam replies avoiding Dean's question, "All that matter is that we're safe and that we're there for each other...I mean you're all I've got...you're my pain in the ass". Dean laughs then says
"You know I would do anything to make you happy...don't you?"
"Anything?"
"Yep, anything"
"Well can I drive the car? that would make me happy right now...it's been awhile and I've missed the car" Sam says smiling at Dean. Dean looks like he's about to protest but eventually he says
"Fine...drive the damn car, but you better not mess it up, if there's a single scratch on the car, Mr Giggles will lose his head"
"Mr Giggles?" Sam says innocently.
"Your old teddy bear, I know you still carry it around with you so there's no need to pretend" Dean says laughing. Sam blushes but doesn't say anything. Dean tosses the keys to Sam and calls Bobby back and the three of them set off in the Impala. As they leave the forest erupts into a ball of flames. Dean and Sam exchange looks
"If you wanna get out alive, run for your life" Dean says, and Sam increases the speed of the car and they drive into the darkness.
The End
